Chapter 1028: Escape
Duan Baoshan knew that once the two sides went to war, she would be a prisoner to threaten Su Ningbo.
She invited Ying to Dongyi, of course she would not be greedy for life or afraid of death, but she remembered what Gu Yunjin and others had said to her, and she had to work hard to live.
If she was sent to the front of the battle alive by Dongyi, Su Ningbo would be in a dilemma - he couldn't give up the progress of the army for her, but he couldn't give up on her directly.
Self-slaughter is a choice when there is no way back, Duan Baoshan still wants to fight.
They prepared snacks and water in advance, Wang Cheng said that it was not small, everyone was in a hurry to deal with Su Ningbo's attack, and they couldn't search every corner with all their might, she had a chance.
They pried open a piece of the floor in the house, and the height of the ground was barely enough to squat a person, which was used by the Dongyi people to protect the house from moisture and insects when they built the house, and at this moment, it became their hiding place.
Duan Baoshan and the others shrank and hid for several days.
At the most critical time, she even heard the sound of Dongyi walking on the floor above them.
Everyone held their breath and did not dare to make the slightest movement.
Originally, Duan Baoshan and the others wanted to hide here until the imperial army came over, but the situation suddenly changed.
That night, they smelled burning.
The agile little palace maid lifted the floor and leaned out to look, came back with a white face, and said in amazement: "I don't know what the hell those Dongyi people are doing, the royal city is burning." County Lord, let's get out quickly, this is the downwind, and the fire will spread soon. ”
Duan Baoshan was taken aback, but she didn't dare to delay at all, and crawled out from under the floor.
She couldn't straighten up for the past few days, and this sudden standing up made her stumble all over, but she didn't care about this, she just stared at the fire in the distance.
It was very close to the center of the royal city, and it was said that it would not burn until the city was broken.
The guards wanted to put out the fire, and at this time it was the time when the garrison was most loose, and their group hurried to the outside of the royal city.
The strong wind carried the choking smell of smoke, making the people who had not cleaned up for several days even more embarrassed.
With the wind, there are also cries for help and rescue, sometimes high and sometimes low.
The walls of the royal city were already in front of them, but the two little palace maids suddenly stopped.
Duan Baoshan noticed it and turned her head to look at them.
"County Lord, the royal city will not burn well, you go first, let's figure it out." One humanity.
Duan Baoshan shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous, once someone finds out......"
"Someone has to do it," the little maid smiled, "and if you can do it, so can we." ”
With the light on their backs, their eyes were so bright, Duan Baoshan seemed to see herself in them that day, and she couldn't say anything to stop it.
She just hugged them in a hurry, and said in a deep voice: "Before leaving Beijing, the little grandfather and lady told me repeatedly that they would not give up on me, and they would definitely come to pick me up, and sure enough, the imperial army came, and in the same words, I will tell you now, I must come back, I will not give up on you, just at the city ferry, I will wait for you." ”
The words fell, and everyone went to one side, and no one could stop.
There were still people guarding the gates in and out of the royal city, although the number of people was smaller than usual, and it was not something they could break through rashly.
Fortunately, the map handed in by the master on Friday was very detailed, and the grandmothers had already picked a corner, and a few people stacked Arhats, and put Duan Baoshan, who could not climb over the wall, on the palace wall.
Duan Baoshan didn't stand firm when she landed, so she could only roll over and unload her strength, not wanting to have a few sharp stones on the ground, cutting open the cuffs, and her left arm was bloody.
She gasped, ignored the pain, and ran forward with the grandmothers.
At the ferry, it was pitch black, with only a few stars hanging in the air.
Dongyi was beaten back on the front line, and even the towns under the royal city were panicked, and the fishing boats were docked, and most of them were shrouded in darkness except for a few with a little candlelight inside.
Mama pointed to a fishing boat with no light all around, and motioned for Duan Baoshan to hide on the boat.
Duan Baoshan climbed onto the boat and looked back and forth, only strange and uneasy in his heart.
She didn't see the ship, and although it was dark, she could still make out if there was one.
There was only one ferry under Wangcheng, and it was here that she came to Dongyi to go ashore, and it was full of warships at that time, and the fishing boats were not here at all.
Now that the fishing boats have been moved here, what about the warships?
The war was fought on the eastern land, and there was no need for sailors.
Duan Baoshan whispered her doubts to the people around her.
Several grandmothers also looked at each other and discussed: "This matter is important, but unfortunately we can't deliver the news." I don't know where it went? ”
They hid in the boat, bandaged their wounds briefly, and could not tell the time, only that the fire in the royal city was getting bigger and bigger, and even sparks drifted down the city with the wind, causing the people to come out one after another, and panic arose.
It is also due to the chaos of the town, and it seems that the ferry crossing is becoming quieter.
Until they vaguely heard someone calling.
It was not the county lord, nor Duan Baoshan's name, but Duan Si.
This title was almost impossible to hear in Dongyi, so that Duan Baoshan was stunned for a moment.
A grandmother stood up, went ashore lightly, followed the sound, and looked at each other defensively.
The person who came was a young man, and handed over a waist card of the Ningguo Mansion, and most of the heart that Mama was carrying fell: "What is your name?" How did you find this place? ”
"I sent the map to the royal city," the man said, "Seeing that the royal city is on fire, I guess the fourth girl will escape, and the ferry port is the most likely place for you to hide." In three days at most, Su Ningbo will be able to fight here, and I will take you to retreat to the rear, so that Su Ningbo and the little grandfather can let go of the attack. ”
In order to win the trust of Mama, the man not only spoke the original dialect, but could even speak several prescriptions.
Mama was relieved and led the man onto the boat.
"Let's go while it's dark."
Duan Baoshan said: "There are two palace maids who have gone to inquire about the fire, let's wait, I will answer and they will definitely wait." ”
She thought that it would take some effort to persuade the other party, but the man was not stubborn, and only said: "At most, wait until dawn, and it will be too late to leave the shore." ”
The fire outside was even bigger, and even the side of the ferry was much brighter, Duan Baoshan looked up, the man had handsome facial features and a scar on his chin.
The sky was faintly white, Duan Baoshan couldn't help but be anxious, fortunately, the two little palace maids finally appeared on the shore.
His face was full of black ashes, and his body was covered with blood, saying that he had met someone halfway, but fortunately the other party was alone, and they ran away after killing.
The fishing boat sailed away, taking advantage of the last bit of darkness far off the shore.
The little palace maid said: "Dongyi himself is in chaos, the two factions are fighting, the king of Dongyi is killed, the prince burns the royal city, and he will die together!" ”
