Chapter 260: Escape
Yun Niang crawled to the ground and swayed the red fu lying on the edge of the cylinder.
There was no time to waste time, Yun Niang pulled off the quilt on Hongfu's body and threw it into the secret passage to the bottom. Drag Hongfu and put her in the secret passage.
After placing Hongfu, Yun Niang dragged Wanying from the water tank hard, but the smoke in the house was too big, and Yun Niang couldn't choke on it, and she couldn't make it hard.
It's easy to put people in a water tank, but it's a lot of work to pull them out. Yun Niang couldn't exert any more strength. Seeing that his strength is weaker and weaker each time. Yun Niang was so anxious that she kicked the water tank with her foot.
In desperation, the roof of the main hall collapsed in the fire. The huge shock wave was like a fire dragon, as if it was about to devour Yun Niang, the flames scorched the flesh and blood, and the hot blood in the whole body was ignited and boiled.
In the sea of fire, Yun Niang tore apart in despair, watching the roof of Xinuan Pavilion also crumbling in the raging fire. Yun Niang burst out with the most powerful power in her life, taking advantage of her blood boiling. With a hard pull, he dragged Wanying's upper body onto the edge of the cylinder.
Finally pulled Wanying out of the tank. Yun Niang wanted to be like a child, crying loudly.
Ignoring the burns on her legs, she dragged Wanying to the secret passage. The flower cat leaned aside and bit Wanying's skirt and dragged it into the secret passage.
Finally, before the roof of the Xinuan Pavilion collapsed, three people and a flower cat jumped into the secret passage.
The secret passage was steaming, and Hongfu first fell heavily, and then was squeezed hard by Wanying's body, and she was already panting.
Watching the flames on the ground rush into the secret passage, Hongfu didn't care about the burns on her body and the fall on her buttocks, and jumped up to try to restore the floor tiles to their original places.
The hot fire, the hot red fu withdrew her hand several times. Still not changing his will, he struggled to move the floor tiles.
Finally, under the joint efforts of Hongfu and Yun Niang, the floor tiles were tightly buckled at the entrance.
In the secret passage, it was pitch black.
temporarily got out of the fire and let Hongfu hug Yun Niang and cry. Yun Niang also held the red fu for a long time and did not let go.
"Good boy, now is not the time to cry, the fire is burning on it, if we don't get out of the secret passage, this fire, across the floor, will still roast us to death."
"Yun Niang, is this the earth dragon under the Xinuan Pavilion?"
Yun Niang closed her eyes and nodded. "Hmm"
Hongfu once drilled the earth dragon below Jinseju once, and the pattern of His Royal Highness was made up in his mind, and suddenly pulled Yun Niang and said: "Go forward because it should be the exit of the earth dragon." ”
Yun Niang groped for Wanying in the dark, lifted Wanying, touched the middle of the person, there was still breath, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Hongfu: "Go!" If you don't leave, you'll have to die here. ”
Hongfu felt the heat around her. Staring wide-eyed and nodding, the two of them worked together to drag Wanying forward.
In the dark secret passage, you can't see your fingers. The three of them tested each step with their feet. However, after a turn, it turned out to be a sealed wall. The cat jumped up to the three of them and slammed her head on a brick on the second floor.
In the dark, no one can see what the flower cat is doing. Only Yun Niang will understand after hearing the familiar cry of the flower cat.
Put Wanying on Hongfu, attach it to the ground and scratch the flower cat with her fingers, the flower cat gently pouted Yun Niang's fingers, and put it on the second grid on the wall.
Yun Niang pulled her finger out of the cat's mouth and kicked it hard, and the stone door automatically twisted into a straight line from the middle.
Regardless of the joy, Yun Niang jumped into the earth dragon from one side by herself, carried Wanying out, and then Hongfu also came out. The flower cat easily jumped directly into the dragon from the other side.
Hongfu put the door back in place, only to find that from the earth dragon, it was a complete wall, and there was no trace of any secret passage at all. The three of them huddled in the secret passage, and the * that had just been added in the evening was now half dissolved.
Hongfu sat on the * and rubbed her scalded hand back and forth on the ice, while Yun Niang rubbed the ice water with her palm and wiped Wanying's face.
Encountering the cold stimulus, Wanying gradually opened her eyes.
Yun Niang's heart finally entered her stomach.
"Mother's ......"
Wanying still couldn't fully wake up.
Hongfu used her fingers to clasp a piece of melted ice slag and put it in Wanying's mouth. Wanying's dry throat was finally revived after a few sips of ice water.
The three of them didn't dare to stay, once all the ice in the earth dragon melted, the three of them would still be roasted to death.
Yun Niang was in front, Wan Ying was in the middle, and Hongfu was in the back, and the three of them hunched their waists and moved out in the earth dragon. The cat rubbed between the three of them and followed out.
Yun Niang finally stuck to the door of the earth dragon, but heard the sound of the fire burning, and a few guards were laughing.
"This fire hasn't burned the three people inside to ashes."
"Be quiet, tell us to put out the fire."
"Big brother, what are you afraid of? The palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard have all been cleared out, who can spare their lives and stay in the fire to eavesdrop on us? ”
"It's always better to be careful."
The three people in the earth dragon originally wanted to open it out, but Yun Niang's hands were already attached to the door, and she shrank back tremblingly.
Wanying grabbed the placket of her chest, splashed with tears, and listened to the people in the courtyard.
Yun Niang hugged Wanying and blocked her hand to Wanying's mouth, covering Wanying's cry that was about to cry.
In the dim earth dragon, the three of them held their breath and pricked up their ears.
"Second, third, throw the bucket of lamp oil into the fire. Zhou Tieping, a bastard, killed people and set fires, and he didn't wipe his buttocks clean. ”
"Big brother, this bucket is good, it's a pity to burn it."
"It's a pity that your grandmother's leg has a lamp oil barrel, and when the East Window incident happens, it will be used as evidence of the crime?"
"Yes, yes, big brother is right!"
"Go get some more sticks."
"Big brother, what are you doing with a fire stick?"
"Stupid fool, let's put out the fire, come cleanly, go back cleanly, and wait for Fang Jucai's old gelding to wake up, and you won't see the flaws at a glance?"
"Big brother, we're fighting fires, break some water on our bodies, and we can get it, and we really burn ourselves with a fire stick?"
"Grass mud horse! Your mother and which old Wang Ba who lacks heart, liver and lungs, sunrise, you are such a stupid little Wang Ba paste out of the pigsty! The old gelding dog is cunning, you want to hide it from him, and go to your mother's spring and autumn dream. ”
"Big brother, for ten taels of silver, it's really not cost-effective to burn yourself. Is it true that the above only gave ten taels per person? ”
"Rabbit cub, Lao Tzu will throw you into the fire now, and your grandson won't be able to get ten taels of silver, do you believe it?"
"Big brother, San'er has always lacked heart, don't be like him. I'll go get you a fire stick. ”
"Forget it, Lao Tzu will take it himself, and you will feel that you have lost ten taels of silver."
"Big brother, San'er poured a few mouthfuls of yellow soup horse urine at night, talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."
"Is this human? Ten taels of silver are not even enough to be stuffed between the teeth, and it is worth Lao Tzu to understand. ”
"Big brother, the fire stick you wanted."
"Ahh "What the hell, isn't Lao Tzu trying to make a good future, as for joking with the flesh and skin on his body? it! It really hurts me to death! ”
"Big brother, do you really want to burn yourself for ten taels of silver?"
"It's been said a few times by his grandmother, believe it or not!"
"Big brother, I didn't mean that, I mean, since General Zhao only gave ten taels of silver, is it necessary for us to really burn ourselves?"
Wan Ying was in the dim earth dragon, and the raging fire squeezed out a yellow light from the crack in the door, splitting Wan Ying's tearful face in half.
General Zhao?? My mother once said that if you encounter difficulties, go to General Zhao, the head of the palace guards.
Could there be two generals Zhao in the palace?
The mother said that General Zhao, but his father's former subordinates, how could his father's subordinates secretly set fire to his old boss's daughter and burn him to death?
Absolutely not, unless he is a brute of conscience.
But in such a fire as Jinseju, the sky is lit up, and he, as the head of the palace guards, knows that the daughter of his old boss is in a sea of fire, can he come to extinguish it?
The only explanation is: the guards outside the fire said General Zhao is the General Zhao in his mother's mouth.
He has never met this General Zhao, and he is his father's subordinate, how could he set fire to himself?
The scolding of several guards outside the window interrupted Wanying's thoughts and tears.
"You know the! The one inside is Prince Rong's concubine, don't hurt herself, General Zhao is good to say, how can the old gelding deal there? ”
"Big brother, you're right! We are really difficult, on one side is the top boss, on the other side is the chief eunuch, General Zhao can not hang the old gelding, we can't. ”
"Finally, I figured it out, since we have taken these ten taels of silver, we have to keep our lives and spend these ten taels of silver. It is not the same to have a life to take money, but not to spend money without a life. ”
"Yes, yes, big brother is right! There are too many mountains in the palace, and none of us dare to offend. ”
"The second child said this clearly, and he can see it thoroughly."
"Big brother, I'm a little worried too. There is a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not! ”
"Worried about what? If you have something to say, let it go! ”
"Big brother, this is a good lady, if Prince Rong is investigated in the future, General Zhao will sell a few of us, what will we do then?"
"Yes, big brother, there is nothing wrong with what the second brother said. Let's not be a substitute for the dead! ”
"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier, they were all burned to ashes. Why didn't Lao Tzu think of this layer? ”
"Big brother, according to my brother's wishes, let's take advantage of the chaos to go to other palaces and get some valuable things, and then run."
"Run? Where to run? The palace is full of guards, and it is difficult for us to fly out even if we put on two pairs of wings. ”
"Big brother, if you can go out, think about it again."
"That little door by the wall of the West Palace."
"Yes, big brother, there is no one to guard it all year round, so a rotten lock hangs on it."
"! A rotten lock is also a matter of an axe. ”
"Right! Enemies! Let's steal some treasures from the palace, and then set fire to destroy the corpses. ”
"Second brother, I really didn't expect that your kid would have such a good plan."
"Big brother, big brother! Isn't this forced helplessness! Big brother, think about it, for ten taels of silver, it's not worth taking the life of our brother! ”
"Such a big fire can burn Jinseju to ashes, and it can also burn Guanwa Palace and Penglai Pavilion to the ground."
"Big brother, without further ado, let's take advantage of the fact that the sky is not yet dawn, hurry up and go to the pavilion to collect jewelry, after a long delay, once General Zhao finds out, we will really die."
"Just gone? Lao Tzu always felt that it was not that serious. ”
"Big brother, why didn't General Zhao let his cronies come over and set fire? Why did you let us come and set the fire? Dozens of brothers came over just now, and as soon as they said that they were evacuated, they all hid and saved us, and they were made of iron. ”
"That's it! If you don't say it, Lao Tzu still wonders? There were a lot of people just now, why are we brothers left? ”
"Let's run too, General Zhao Ming'er will definitely treat us as a substitute for the dead."
"Damn, it's really bad luck. Walk! Pavilion Wa Palace! ”
The three people in the earth dragon couldn't hear the people outside for a long time, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Niang cautiously opened the door of the earth dragon, and the fire rushed in at once.
"Niangniang, if you are wronged, we can only rush out."
Wanying was already stupid by the fire, Hongfu took off her middle clothes, soaked the clothes on the ice cubes, and draped them over Wanying's head. The three of them broke out of the fire one after another.
Wan Ying stood in the backyard of Jinseju, staring blankly at the raging fire.
"Niangniang, don't be stunned, let's go! This is murder. Maybe you won't be able to escape if it's too late. ”
Wan Ying looked at the huge waterwheel, which was slowly turned by the fire, and the wooden ground was frozen in place, unable to move.
Suddenly, the huge waterwheel fell on the palace wall of Jinseju, and several brackets of the waterwheel just sealed the exit of the earth dragon.
If it had been a little later, several people would have really died in this sea of fire.
Wanying closed her eyes, and bitter tears rushed out a bloody path on her dark face.
The backyard of Jinseju was a fence wall, and the three of them easily entered the dense forest, relying on the direction in their memory, to grope to the west.
Wanying didn't know anything anymore, and the pain of dislocating her right arm couldn't suppress the tear in her heart.
Who is going to put me to death and then hurry? Who is it?
The chaotic branches in the dense forest are blocked by Yun Niang and Hongfu. The sound of the wet wind in the morning light came and went in my ears.
I don't know how long it took to run, but the three of them finally found the end of the dense forest, and the closed Zhu Gate stood quietly in front of the three of them.
Hongfu desperately lay on the ground and groped around, and suddenly grabbed a huge stone and smashed it at the rusty iron cable.
The first hit didn't hit, the stone fell, and it also pressed Hongfu's feet, Hongfu didn't even care about tears, picked up the stone, and smashed it hard at the rotten lock.
There was a 'bang', followed by the muffled sound of stones falling to the ground. Hongfu saw that the lock was about to be smashed. The third time he lifted the rock, and once again slammed it viciously into the rotten lock. Yun Niang helped Wanying staggered to the door.
In the panic, no one noticed that there was something abnormal about Wanying's right arm.
"Yun Niang, this latch is too heavy, we have to carry it together."
Yun Niang let go of Wanying, and without saying a word, she and Hongfu worked together to lift the door latch.
The 'crunch' thick vermilion gate opens in the morning light.
The three of them stood outside in silence with their faces on their faces.
Now that you have escaped, where can you escape next?
"Niangniang, we can't take the main road, we can only go down the mountain along the small road." In the morning light, the red leaf seems to grow overnight.
"No, there are wild beasts in the mountains, and the path cannot be walked. Still have to take the big road. Yun Niang objected.
"Yun Niang, this is obviously going to kill us, and when they can't find the corpse at dawn, they will definitely lay a net to search for us."
