At this time, a stone slab in front of me seemed to be out of the way, Yan Qi let go of me, I quickly stepped forward and pressed it nowhere, and the stone slab rose, revealing a larger space behind.

This is a secret room that has been built long ago, and this is my first judgment after entering the stone door. When I thought I would stop here, I heard Yan Qi ask me, "Can you still go?" Seeing that I nodded, he said, "Then keep walking, it is safest to leave the palace as soon as possible." "With a heartbeat, he said to leave the palace?

Next, under the guidance of Yan Qi, we walked in a deep dark passage one after another, and when we saw the light of day again, we were already in a forest. I was a little incredulous, I was already in a dead end, but another village was revealed, and I really left the palace, but the people I couldn't let go of were still inside.

"Let's go." In the silence, Yan Qi suddenly said.

I was stunned for a moment, and turned my eyes to look at him, "Where are you going?" ”

He said: "You are the most important thing for Childe, and I can only give it a go if you are safe." ”

I was confused, "What are you going to do?" Now that Ah Ping must have been controlled by Concubine Lu, and Yuan'er is also with Concubine Lu, how do you want to give it a go? But seeing Yan Qi frowning, he said to me with a firm face: "You just have to believe that I will be able to rescue Gongzi, and Yuan'er and your brother, even if it is to fight with my life." ”

"Nope." I resolutely objected, "Concubine Lu will definitely order people to guard the dormitory at all levels, how can you save people single-handedly?" Even if you have Uncle Mu to cooperate with you, the chance of winning is very low, otherwise why didn't Concubine Lu convict Uncle Mu? Isn't it just to lure you into the urn and to wipe out all of us? ”

But Yan Qi's attitude was absolute: "I can't leave my son behind." You leave the capital quickly, if I rescue Gongzi and Yuan'er, I will definitely come to meet you. Saying that he was desperate to return to the secret passage, I hurriedly shouted: "Yan Qi, you come back for me!" But seeing that he didn't look back, he had to ask Zhu Gaoxu for help: "Axu, you go and stop him." ”

However, Zhu Gaoxu grabbed my arm and walked out, shouting in shock: "What are you doing? He threw a sentence: "I only care about your life and death." Stunned, I was dragged out of a long distance, I looked back in panic, and saw that Chen Ergou was also taken back by Yan Qi, desperately stepping on the ground to break free from Zhu Gaoxu's shackles, but as soon as he turned around, he carried me on his shoulders and ran wildly.

No matter how much I slapped and scolded, he didn't mean to stop, and then I lost my strength and could only gasp sharply.

It's already far from the exit, and even if Zhu Gaoxu puts me down, I can't find my way back. There is a sense of powerlessness, that is, everyone around me is trying their best to keep me alive, and I can only watch the people I care about die one by one.

Yan Qi's turn back is undoubtedly into the fire pit, with the fire on my side, it is impossible for Concubine Lu not to be vigilant, and it will not work to do this again. Even if he has a close relationship with Uncle Mu, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape Concubine Lu's calculations. And he knew this possibility, but he still went back without hesitation, it was his loyalty to Ah Ping, but I was deeply saddened.

I don't know how long Zhu Gaoxu finally got tired, put me off his shoulder, looked at me timidly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you very angry with me?" "At this time, I didn't even have the heart to look at him, and I didn't want to speak again.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "In that situation just now, Yan Qi is bound to turn back, and you can't stop him." Since it took so much effort to get you out, I can't let you go back to die. ”

"Tell me about it." I said with a cold face.

His hand shrank a little, but he still confided in me what had happened: "When Yan Qi came to me, my first reaction was to rush over to save you, but this is not Beiping, I don't have soldiers, and I definitely can't do it alone." Then he said that he had his own way to save me and let me be at ease, and I listened to him. I don't know where he found the person named Chen Ergou, he is actually a night owl who can drill holes, and the speed of digging holes is extremely fast, I originally thought that he couldn't find it accurately, because Yan Qi took a map and came back and said that you were at that point, I didn't think he really had two brushes. The next is to find you, you know. ”

I raised my eyes and asked suspiciously, "Yan Qi didn't tell you anything else?" ”

He shook his head, "I didn't say anything, just let me follow Chen Ergou to save you, and then he answered on the other side of the cave entrance." ”

Listening to what he said didn't seem to be fake, just now I was too frightened and lost my mind, and I didn't think about it, but now I feel strange after listening to it.

First of all, how did Yan Qi find Chen Ergou? Chen Ergou must be the key to this entire Li Daitao's strategy, without his hole-digging magic skill, it is impossible to carry it out, even if there is a secret passage underground, it should not lead to Concubine Lu's palace.

Secondly, is it right for Yan Qi to go to Zhu Gaoxu for help? Not. But he can bring Chen Ergou to save me by himself, and there is no need to pull Zhu Gaochu into the water, at least Zhu Gaochu is the second son of King Yan, even if Concubine Lu is in power, he has to consider Zhu Di's factors and dare not move him easily.

I always felt that there was something wrong with this whole incident, but I couldn't think of what went wrong.

I stared at Zhu Gaoxu, and suddenly asked, "Do you think this plan to save me tonight is good?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Okay, use a female death row prisoner to replace you, Li Daitao stiff and hidden, I really didn't see that Yan Qi's flustered boy was so powerful before, so since he decided to go back, don't worry too much, there should be a way to rescue the emperor and Yuan'er." Don't think I'm not using my brain, I measured the situation when I was crawling just now, you are in the greatest danger in this accident, and you may be wiped out at any time, so you must ensure your safety first, presumably Yan Qi thinks the same. ”

The answer I want is in Zhu Gaoxu's words, he has a sentence that touches my heart, although Yan Qi is as careful as a hair, but he has never seen him so powerful in strategy. Influenced by the environment, he will be a brave soldier, but he will not be the general who directs the battlefield. So if these were not planned by Yan Qi, who would have come up with the idea behind him? Uncle Mu? It is unlikely, although Uncle Mu is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, most of them are also deacons according to orders.

At the end of the queue, there is only one possibility left, and it is also the one that I don't believe the most.

The only one who can have this strategy and thought, and who can also make Yan Qi obey his orders, is Ah Ping.

But Ah Ping didn't wake up for three days and three nights in a row since he fell, I saw it with my own eyes, and then he was strongly and dictatoriously by Concubine Lu, so it can't be that he woke up and instructed Yan Qi to do these things during the period when I was imprisoned. Another point is that the fuse that made me have this bold guess is that Chen Ergou.

I can't think of a better reason to explain why Chen Ergou appeared in the Imperial Palace, he was just a wild tomb robber, and his skills were not great enough to dig the Imperial City and invade the Imperial Palace. The only explanation is that he was caught by Ah Ping, especially when he saw Chen Ergou following Yan Qi back just now, he was cringe, and obviously didn't dare to resist.

I still remember that in Ginkgo Village, Ah Ping gritted his teeth and was ruthless, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he must find the tomb robber, I am afraid that this order will be sent to Uncle Mu. And the Jinyi Wei faction in charge of Uncle Mu is really powerful, and he really arrested Chen Ergou into the palace, so he had today's tactful situation.

After straightening out the cause and effect, I have a doubt: since Ah Ping was prepared and safe, which means that he expected to have today, why didn't he take precautions against Concubine Lu? Or is it not Concubine Lu that he himself wants to guard against?

"Xiaolan, what are you thinking?" Zhu Gaoxu interrupted my meditation and raised his eyes to see him looking at me worriedly. He was really confused, except for the implementation of all the plans, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't even know where Chen Ergou came from. In fact, sometimes ignorance is worry-free, and I don't plan to tell him about his speculation.

Huan looked around and asked, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

"Yan Qi said that this forest is the outskirts of Beijing, how about if you want me to take you back to Beiping?"

My heart jumped, go to Beiping? I subconsciously shook my head, "I'm not leaving." ”

"Huh? Still not leaving? The palace almost destroyed you, and you still want to stay here? Although we are out of the palace, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Dai Taozhuang will be found out, then you will become a wanted criminal in the imperial court. ”

At this time, there was a dawn in the sky, I followed my eyes, watched the white light gradually brighten, and only when I opened the sky did I say softly: "Ah Xu, that palace is no longer unbearable, there are still my husband and son, and my younger brother in it, do you think I can go?" ”

"But what if you don't leave? In fact, that Empress Dowager Lu is Brother Wei's mother, so she shouldn't be able to do anything to Brother Wei, and Xiao Yuan'er, how can she be her own grandson and the only grandson, tiger poison doesn't eat children, so the old woman won't be so ruthless. It's that your brother may be in trouble, and the old woman will see that you are not pleasing to the eye, and I am afraid that she will take your brother under the knife, but Yan Qi should be able to save it when he goes back. Just let that Chen Ergou dig another hole and get your brother out. ”

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, he thought about things very simply, but he couldn't blame him, because he didn't know the secret, and it was impossible for me to talk to him.

At this time, it was impossible for me to leave the capital, and in order to prevent Zhu Gaoxu from forcibly taking me away, he deliberately scolded him with a heavy face, saying that if he dared to come nonsense, he would cut off contact from now on. His face changed as soon as he heard this, and he was afraid that he had planned to do this, but he didn't dare to say so.

Later, we stayed at a farmer's house in a remote corner of the suburbs, and the next morning Zhu Gaoxu went into the city to inquire about the news. When I asked him what was going on in the city, he shook his head and said that he had not seen anything after a day of searching. When he came back, he went to the secret passage to go back to the palace again, but the secret passage was sealed......

Yan Qi guessed that we might go back, so he sealed the retreat.
