After breakfast, lying on his back on a chair, eating the fruits peeled by cuckoo and jasmine, Zhou Yu couldn't get into a state of enjoyment at all. On the one hand, he was thrilled by the killing array that he almost strayed into yesterday, and on the other hand, he was actively thinking about countermeasures.

The pool of water in Drunken Flower City looks very deep, and Prince Sima's deliberate layout is obviously confident about the future of the bull's ear, but what makes him wonder is why his two sisters did the thing of throwing themselves into their arms, is this the only way to protect themselves? And where is Philena imprisoned now? If you can't find her for a moment, you have no direction for a moment, you don't show up, you don't show up, and the conference is about to be held in two days, whether to become the target of the public or fish in troubled waters really makes him in a dilemma.

"Bamble, Bumble?" Zhou Yu shouted loudly.

"Coming, coming, what do you command?" Bamble hurried over from next door to receive his order.

"You can inquire about our inner line, where has the royal city recently sent more manpower to strengthen the defense. Be careful, and be fast! Zhou Yu said like a cannonball, since he didn't know where Fei Lina was locked up, he could think backwards, and where the guards were heavily guarded, it should be.

In the evening, Bambul's thief dodged back to the inn.

"My lord, I'm going to make an inquiry. It is said that the whole royal city is the same except for the old king's bedchamber, which is guarded day and night. ”

Outside the Old King's bedchamber? Zhou Yu rubbed his chin and wondered, could it be that Fei Lina is being imprisoned here? With the coffin of the deceased father? But what can be done to sneak in and save her? A bold idea gradually came to mind.

"Call Borada." Zhou Yu asked Bamble to deliver the message for him.

"Governor, you called me?"

"Well, Bolada, can you make a medicine that can make people look like they are dead for a short time, and then turn around after a certain time? It's, just like Romeo. ”

It was impossible for Borada to know who Romeo was, but Zhou Yu had made it clear enough that he knew what the Grand Governor meant.

"This shouldn't be difficult, you can mix the herbs that you carry on your body now, but what do adults have to do with it?"

"Are you absolutely sure? I'm going to eat this, this one! ”

"You eat? What do you do with this medicine? That's a lot of risk! Borada grimaced.

He gathered the three of them together and succinctly explained his plan, and the three of them were surprisingly unanimous in their disagreement. According to Zhou Yu's plan, he dressed up as a dead corpse after taking the medicine, and Bambul and Marsha pretended to be knife and axe hands, and sent him to the palace to be presented to Prince Sima. He gambled that the megalomaniac would throw his body to Felena to show off, telling his only rival that the last straw was gone, and he would obediently tie his hands and get caught.

The differences between the three are: first, how to pretend to be a henchman soldier next to Prince Sima without being recognized, which requires a lot of acting skills from Bamble and Marsha, not to mention that if there is a code or code, it will be exposed in minutes and die tragically under the knife. Second, if Sima didn't take the approach of intimidating Philena and ordered his subordinates to behead the corpse in public, wouldn't she have to shed tears if she didn't see the coffin? Thirdly, and most importantly, throw the "corpse" of the Metropolitan Governor to Phirina and then? And then what to do? In the winged and flightless royal city, how he took Fei Lina to escape was simply an impossible task.

The Metropolitan Governor was at a loss, and the most appropriate way to break the situation was to deal with it with a bigger game, but this step he took was too dangerous. Admittedly, as the trio said, the risk is too great. But in the current predicament, I really have no better choice.

"My lord, why don't you let me try." When the four of them were depressed, Narcissus, who was listening to the whole event and needs on the side, interjected a sentence.

"You, how do you try?" The four of them spoke in unison.

"My lord, the slave maid was originally a maid in the palace, and she was responsible for washing the old king's clothes. Since Prince Sima put the old king under house arrest, we have been dismissed from the palace one after another, and there is a scene where I was abducted and sold later. ”

"Oh? I haven't heard you mention it before! ”

"You haven't asked the slave before?" Narcissus has a big waist and a round waist, and at first glance it is the material for dry cleaning work.

"You go on." Zhou Yu secretly wondered if he shouldn't interrupt her.

"There is a secret passage in the old king's bedchamber, which leads secretly to the outside of the palace, but no one knows about it. Except for slaves ... ”

"W-What?" As soon as these words came out, several people were really stunned, and even Rose and the others looked at her with wide eyes.

"What are you doing digging such a secret passage in the old king's bedchamber? He's the king of a country, there's no need to sneak around, huh? Zhou Yu felt strange.

"According to an old mother, after the death of the queen, the mother of Philena and Welfare Jia, Sima's biological mother became the queen. The woman was so jealous that she did not allow the queen's shrine to be placed in the palace, nor did the old king go out to worship. After a long time, the old king missed his deceased wife, so he instructed the sappers to dig the tunnel secretly. When the secret passage was completed, he poisoned the soldiers with poisoned wine with his own hands. ”

I have long known that there are all kinds of royal affairs, and the harem curtains have different dreams in the same bed, but I didn't expect that there would be such a secret song that no one knows, and Zhou Yu sighed in his heart.

"And how did you know about this secret passage?" Zhou Yu was very puzzled, he couldn't accept how a laundry worker could get hold of such confidential information.

"The maid's nurse has been serving the queen since her lifetime, and she is a dear person. After the queen's funeral, the old king transferred her and her young slaves to serve in his bedroom, so that he could have a thought, and he could have a companion when he mourned. Every time the king went out to worship, the nurse carried the lamp for him. In order to prevent the secret from leaking out, she cut out her own tongue herself, willing to let the matter rot in her stomach. Not long ago, when the old king was dying, the wet nurse also went west. ”

"When she was leaving, she pointed out the secret path to you?" Zhou Yu couldn't hold back his impulsiveness and interjected again.

"Well, she pointed to the old king's bed, and then to the distance outside the palace, indicating that the entrance to my secret passage was under the bed."

"This news really quenches your thirst, narcissus, my hundred gold sand flowers are worth it!" Zhou Yu rubbed his hands excitedly, he really had the intention to plant flowers that did not bloom, and he unintentionally planted willows and willows, who did you say to reason?

"But I think she means that she wants me to bury her in a secret passage when she dies, but to fulfill her lifelong wish to be an eternal witness to the king's and queen's dreams. But it backfired, and the deceased palace maids and soldiers in the palace were under the unified management of the chamberlain. The slave was incompetent, and she couldn't even see off the nurse on her last journey, so she heard that she was hastily burned. Even the ashes were missing. ”

After that, Narcissus wept, obviously remembering a lot of past events and was grief-stricken. caused Rose to wipe her tears.

"Now that we know where this secret passage is, let's find the exit and go in backwards, won't we be able to reach the old king's bedchamber?" Although Zhou Yu admires the nurse's loyalty, the most important thing for him at this time is to rescue Felena.

"The slave knows only the entrance, but she does not know where the exit is. Wouldn't it be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack? Narcissus's words were like a scoop of cold water, pouring Zhou Yu into his heart.

Isn't that the same as listening to a story here for nothing? The Metropolitan Governor frowned, and his mind raced, wondering if there was a foolproof plan to make use of all the clues and favorable factors at present. Sometimes the most desperate thing is not that there is no hope, but that the last bit of hope is blocked by life.

If the message provided by Narcissus was of any value, it was to solve the last question that Bamble had raised, how to escape if she was left in the palace to face the princess. There is also a premise for this, that is, Prince Sima did not know about the secret passage and did not seal it.

Gambling or going out directly, in front of Zhou Yu is nothing more than these two roads. He even thought about sending a message back and letting the elven five clans join forces to attack Drunken Flower City and have a life-and-death decisive battle with Prince Sima and the city defense army. But the problem is that Pachuya's purpose is to join hands with the Terrans to fight against foreign invasions, that is, to jointly defend against the army of the Water King, and it is one thing for them to listen to such orders. More realistically, time is running out. Two days later, the game kicked off, and the army had not yet arrived at Prince Sima without a fight, even if the princess was snatched out at that time, would it be useless? Maybe it's already a skeleton.

He even began to wonder if the princess was still alive. A sense of pathos and desolation arose spontaneously from his heart, and the Governor suddenly wanted to get drunk.

Late at night, Zhou Yu stood alone in the patio looking at the moonlight in the mist, his brain was blank. He didn't even know what to think, his only thought was why he didn't stay in the power compartment with Nika at the time, and that going away with nothing might be the best ending. But...

To live, for the dream of more than endless, the phrase has been lingering in his ears. This was Nika's last request to him, and he held the yellow hedron in silver thread tightly in his hand. Will the deceased tell themselves which way to go? There was a soft creak, and a young man in a hat gently closed the door, tiptoeing for fear of disturbing the sleeping people, and stood there silently with a few sad expressions on his knife-like face, as if he did not want to break this quiet contemplation.

"It's raining, Grand Duke. Let's go in and rest. Bolada whispered.

The raindrops hit Zhou Yu's face, and at first it seemed that the grains of sand quickly became bean-sized, and some of them smashed down hard, with hatred and blame, and even made him feel painful. But I don't know why, but I like this feeling of being knocked by nature, as if returning to my childhood, proudly fighting against the unknown that fell from the sky with my heart.

"Bolada, why do you sometimes feel like it's easier to survive?"

"Is it because you're used to that harshness?"

"I don't think so, survival has always been so hard, if you feel that the burden on your shoulders is lighter, it is because someone is carrying the weight for you."

"What do you mean, Grand Duke?"

"Someone has to do what needs to be done, it's not you me, it's not me or you, and regret often comes from hesitation. I don't want to go to an uninhabited place to find an unknown place to bury bones and cry in the future. ”

"My lord, I see."

Early the next morning, Bamble and Marsha returned to the royal ancestral hall in the east of the city, changed into the clothes of the slain knife and axeman, and found the old man, who had been dazed after the medicine, and made sure that he was already out of his body. The two put the old thief in the carriage and placed it beside the Metropolitan Governor, who had just taken the Ecstasy, and drove towards the gate of the royal city with a clang.

"Stop, who's who?" Outside the palace gate, two soldiers stopped them.

"Can't you see who it is?" Masha never had stage fright when acting, he flashed the dragon belt on his waist, indicating that Lao Tzu was the person next to the prince.

"Who is in the car?" The two guards didn't dare to slack off when they saw that it was the royal forbidden army, but it was their duty to check everything that entered the royal city.

"One living and one dead. The living person is the red man of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the dead person is the corpse of His Royal Highness the Prince. Do you want Lao Tzu to carry it down, and you will give it to His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

The guards saw that the forbidden army was fierce and vicious, and did not dare to say more. Wide-eyed and small-eyed, they all waited for the other party to go in and ask for instructions.

"Get out of the way!" Bambul took advantage of their hesitation to push the soldiers who were blocking the way, and intentionally or unintentionally lifted a piece of linen cloth on the cart, and a bloody head was placed on it, startling the guards.

"Lord Qidan!" Apparently recognizing the person's identity, the guard became even more restless, as if the person in front of him had just experienced a bloody massacre.

"Your Excellency, please come in!" The guard hurriedly made way of a passage and waved his hand to open the palace door to his colleagues behind him.

The second problem after entering Miyagi came, the two didn't know where to drive the car. Fortunately, they had done their homework beforehand, and Narcissus explained the topography of Miyagi to them in detail. If you rush in, the car will stop next to the watermill, and the prince usually meets guests in the East Pavilion. If you don't know where it is, just look in which direction the slaves and maidservants and the stewards are gathered.

The watermill should be here. The two of them tied the reins of their horses, one carrying the stupid old thief, the other carrying the governor of the capital, and Bambur still carried the head of the general Qidan, a sword and axe man wrapped in linen, and hurried towards the East Pavilion.

"Is His Royal Highness the Prince here?" In front of the East Pavilion, there were still two rows of heavily armed forbidden soldiers, dressed like herself, and Marsha was sure that this should be the place where Sima was.

"What team are you on?" The forbidden army's question shocked Bambur in place, and he did not dare to cross the thunder pool for half a step. Which team and how to answer? Is it red, yellow, orange, green or dragon, tiger, lion and leopard? Fortunately, Masha reacted quickly enough, and if she hesitated for a moment, she would have revealed her feet.

"Well, let's look at this." Masha snatched the burden from Bamble's hand, and with a flick of her wrist revealed Qi Dan's starless head.

"Yes, it's Qidan-sama. Quick, hurry up and report it! When the forbidden army saw this scene, their eyes were about to fall to the ground, how tragic it was that Qi Dan, the general of the forbidden army of the Eagle team, died in battle.

Hurried footsteps sounded, and a sergeant entered the East Pavilion through the side door, and soon trotted out again.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is greeting, you two wait a moment."

Masha put the old thief on the ground in a big way, and the guy's tendons and tendons were broken, and he couldn't walk a step. Sitting cross-legged, his two index fingers teasing and dotting, his face was peaceful and childish. The guards did not dare to leave the place one by one, but their eyes were all focused, and they did not know how to feel when they saw the two surviving companions, the head of a dead general, a stupid old man, and a corpse wearing a silver mask. Maybe most people are secretly glad in their hearts now, but fortunately, Lao Tzu was not assigned to the Eagles.
