Chapter 164: The Mole
However, no matter how heroic the Hou Ye's family was, they slowly let the king's people attack the Hou Mansion, and everyone retreated to the inner courtyard to defend.
"Uncle, let me go out, King Ding can't do anything to his nephew!" , The second prince watched as those generals and guards gradually became physically exhausted and began to suffer casualties, and their eyes were red.
Hou Ye's face sank like water and said: "No, if you go out, we will be busy before!" King Ding has come to you with bad intentions this time, and I will keep you safe no matter what! ”
With tears in her eyes, Madame hugged Qi Heng and said: "Di'er, listen to your uncle's arrangement, Concubine Xian doesn't know what is going on in the palace now, since your mother has entrusted you to us, we can't let you get into danger!" ”
Xiao Yu saw that the wall of the second gate was gradually unable to hold on, so he walked quickly to Hou Ye's side and whispered a few words to Hou Ye. Hou Ye glanced at her in surprise and bowed slightly.
Xiao Yu walked up to Mrs. and helped her up and said, "Mother, come with me, I have a way to dodge!" After speaking, she glanced at the second prince and said, "Your Highness, go with the little girl!" The second prince Guo Di hesitated for a moment, and when he saw the Hou Ye greeting him, he stretched out his hand to hug Qi Heng and said, "Then please ask the second sister to lead the way!" ”
Xiao Yu also ordered a few powerful mothers-in-law to follow with big sticks, and a group of female dependents, plus Guo Di and Qi Heng, went straight to Qixia Courtyard.
Qi Pan was a little surprised: "What did the second sister bring us here for?" Xiaoyu had a serious expression and led everyone into the bamboo forest. I saw her leading everyone to a big bluestone in the depths of the bamboo forest.
When everyone was puzzled, they saw that the small fish made Bai Fubai Rong work together, and the big bluestone was pushed away.
A swarthy tunnel mouth appeared in front of everyone, Xiao Yu reached out and felt the fire fold and burned it, stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at everyone's surprised faces and said: "During this time, I took precautions, so I secretly dug this tunnel, and we defenseless weak women will hide here, Hou Ye has no worries, so let go of his hands and feet and fight with King Ding!" ”
Seeing that everyone was a little hesitant, Mrs. first took Qi Heng and said, "Xiaoyu, you think so thoughtfully, Heng'er, go!" After speaking, she walked calmly into the tunnel. When everyone saw that Mrs. was leading, they no longer hesitated, and Yuguan walked in. After everyone entered the tunnel, Xiao Yu asked Bai Fu to activate the mechanism and pushed the big bluestone back to its original position.
Xiaoyu exposed the tunnel dug by Yuegongzi, and he was also forced to do so. She naturally knows better than anyone else about the wolf ambition of King Ding, the second prince has always had a kind personality, and if it falls into the hands of King Ding, he doesn't know what to do with being used.
Fortunately, the tunnel of Yue Gongzi is very cleverly done, and there are mechanisms in connection with other tunnels, and now Xiaoyu has not opened the mechanism, and the tunnel where everyone is located looks like a dead end.
Madame entered the tunnel, then held the lamp to look at the tunnel, only to see that the tunnel is spacious and ventilated, and there is a place in it that stores some water and dry food, Fang said to Xiaoyu in surprise: "Xiaoyu, when did you get such a place, this project is not small!" Xiao Yu pursed his lips and smiled, not explaining.
The little fish walked to a recessed room on the side of the tunnel and reached out to grope for the wall. Everyone seemed to hear a few rolls, only to see Xiao Yu beckoning to the second prince, and then put his eyes on the wall.
The second prince walked up to Xiaoyu curiously and raised his eyes. It turned out that there was a hole in the wall with a large bowl mouth, and it seemed to be inlaid with some transparent crystals. He followed the example of a small fish and put his eyes on it, and he didn't know how to design it, but he could see the situation outside the bamboo forest from this crystal.
"How did you get this?" He asked curiously. Xiaoyu waved his hand and said: "Be quiet, it's just some carving insect skills, if you like it, I'll tell you how to get it when you go out!" This is based on some periscope principles that Xiaoyu learned in his previous life, using mirror refraction. I can just see what is going on outside, but I can't hear the sound.
"Huh?" Guo Di said suddenly, Xiao Yu put his eyes together to look, but saw two women appear on the edge of the bamboo forest.
"It's Sister Fei!" , Qi Heng's childlike nature, I don't know when I will come over and watch curiously.
"Why is she out there? Didn't you just ask her to come with us? Xiao Yu asked curiously.
"Halfway through, Miss Fei said that she forgot to take an important thing her mother gave her, so she turned around and went to Liuyunxuan! The slave stopped her, but she insisted on going! A mother-in-law with a big stick in charge of the broken queen said.
"Oh, why didn't you say it just now, then go pick her up now?" Madame said hurriedly.
"Nope! Wrong! Although Xiao Yu was talking, his eyes kept staring at the situation outside.
It was indeed Qi Fei and her maid Bai Ling standing on the road outside the bamboo forest, but then Qi Fei turned his head to see that there was no one, but he suddenly picked up the stones on the side of the road and slammed them on Bai Ling's head.
"Ahh Qi Heng, who was watching, couldn't help but exclaim, and Xiao Yu hurriedly waved his hand at him. I saw Bai Ling shake twice and then fell down.
Immediately, Qi Fei waved his hand in a certain direction, only to see a group of soldiers rushing over. "It's Dingwang!" Xiao Yu looked at it, and the one headed by him was indeed King Ding.
"Sister Fei, why is this like this!" Qi Heng shouted angrily, and his wife heard his shouting and came over to watch.
"Oh my God, it's really a tiger relic!" Madame was so angry that her face turned white.
I saw Qi Fei seeing King Ding, first bowed, and then said something to King Ding with a smile, but unfortunately he couldn't hear their conversation. After Qi Fei said a few words, he pointed to the bamboo forest, pointing to the direction where the little fish and the others were hiding.
No way! Xiao Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart. This Qi Fei, I don't know when he actually got on the line with King Ding, so he must have quietly hid to the side, saw where Xiaoyu and them were hiding, and then went to bring King Ding and them in.
"Yikes! Liuyunxuan is not just leaning against the wall! It must be the way that Sister Fei is going to lead! Qi Hengtong was unscrupulous, and said it out loud when he thought of something.
As soon as he spoke, he found that he was talking loudly again in a fit of anger, and was about to apologize, but found that everyone was silent and their faces were not good-looking.
Xiao Yu smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, they should still have a little time to walk here, let's go quickly!" She secretly regretted in her heart, it seemed that the tunnel carefully dug by Yue Gongzi could not be saved after all.
She hurried to the front, twisted a few times in what appeared to be a wall, and with a few clicks, everyone saw the wall slowly move away.
Xiao Yu glanced around at everyone, waved his hand, and motioned for them to hurry in. Madame walked with a walk, hesitated for a moment and asked Xiaoyu, "What about you?" Xiaoyu said: "You go in first, I'll close the door last!" Everyone hurriedly walked in.
Xiao Yu asked Bai Fubai Rong to clean up the footprints left by everyone in the tunnel, and then carried some of the jars containing water and dry food to the inner room, and finally built these jars high in front of the machine wall, so that if you don't look carefully, you won't find anything in the wall.
When everything was done, there seemed to be a noisy human voice at the entrance of the tunnel, and Xiaoyu waited for Bai Fubai Rong to come in before turning on the mechanism and closing the wall.
"Let's go, they should have discovered the entrance to the tunnel!" Xiao Yumian said without changing his color. Her composure made the nervous people relax a little.
Xiao Yu took a torch from the stone wall and lit it, "Come with me!" She led the way deeper into the tunnel.
This tunnel has only been dug for a short time, and there is no time to make any mechanisms, so it took a lot of effort to move the wall. I thought that the coming day would be long, and I could slowly arrange the mechanisms in the tunnel, but who knew that the tunnel had not been dug for a long time and came in handy so quickly.
Xiao Yu still didn't plan to expose her connection with Lan Kwai Fong and Huayue Lou, so she originally just wanted to take the second prince and her ladies to the tunnel for temporary refuge. Who would have thought that Qi Fei, the mole, forced her to expose the small courtyard that Yue Gongzi bought for her.
Everyone walked in the tunnel for a while, and heard a loud noise at the entrance of the tunnel, causing the entire tunnel to shake slightly, thinking that the people who set the king were destroying the mechanism at the entrance of the tunnel.
Hearing this loud noise, everyone stopped, and then accelerated their pace again, no one exclaimed, everyone moved forward silently, even Qi Heng didn't squeak, and the nervousness spread faintly.
I don't know what happened to Hou Ye, Xiao Yu didn't believe that Emperor Tan would be defeated so easily. Since Emperor Tan fell into a coma, the marquis, who was a small man of Emperor Tan, was not in a hurry at all, but he was not idle, and he had been dispatching troops in the study.
Xiaoyu has always had inexplicable confidence in Hou Ye, at least Hou Ye's calm and relaxed appearance invisibly calmed the hearts of the people in the Hou Mansion a lot. There were people sneaking out of the other officials' mansions every day, but the Hou Mansion was well organized, and everyone believed that the Hou Ye would not let them be in danger.
Everyone was moving forward silently, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in front of them, and Xiaoyu stopped suddenly. She turned her head and gestured for everyone to stand against the wall. Then she gently extinguished the torch in her hand.
Everyone held their breath in the darkness, only to see the faint light of the fire in front of them, and the sound of brisk footsteps.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but clench her fists, beside her was the second prince, and she could hear the second prince's rapid breathing slightly. Is this really so unlucky? Can't you escape the clutches of the king? I wonder if if I die here, will I be able to go back to modern times? In this suffocating situation, Xiaoyu still has a cranky mind.
There was a slight commotion among the people who stayed behind, and after a while, the second prince whispered in Xiaoyu's ear: "The people who set the king seem to have discovered that the wall is not quite right!" ”
