Chapter Eighty-Nine: Escape
"Chen Guoren is like this, are they bold? Well? Jiu Yao's eyes were grim, staring at the little guard who was blocking the way, and said loudly, "I didn't just come to visit Princess Liao, there is another matter that needs to be explained by King Liao!" β
The little guard's face changed a little, and he glanced at a certain tent behind him with some embarrassment, and then looked back at the guards who were surrounding Jiu Yao with a fierce and vicious face, and suddenly lost his initial confidence. The little guard took two steps back, clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty Emperor Shuo, please allow your subordinates to go down and report it." β
Jiu Yao's tail is raised, and there is a circle of whirlpools in his eyes, which can suck people into the abyss. He didn't say a word, but his face became a little darker.
The little guard didn't dare to slack off any longer, and hurriedly ran into a tent, and soon came out of it, and said with a respectful face, "Your Majesty Shuo is angry, and his subordinates don't know the rules." His Royal Highness King Liao is in the tent, respectfully inviting His Majesty Emperor Shuo. β
Jiu Yao snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to remove the guards in front of him, walked generously in front of the little guard, secretly stored strength, and suddenly raised his hand to give the little guard a slap on his chest.
"Ahh The little guard was defenseless, and the knot that was beaten by that palm was solid, but fortunately, Jiu Yao has not been very good in martial arts since he was a child, and he has not been diligent in practicing over the years, so he has regressed a little, and the little guard flew out upside down and was caught by several Chen Guo guards, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.
Jiuyao's face was even more unbearable, and he strode into the tent with his fists clenched.
"Your Majestyβ" The big eunuch stretched out his hand anxiously, but Jiu Yao's big stride quickly broke out of the protection of these two teams of guards, and the big eunuch couldn't keep up. When the great eunuch lifted the curtain and walked into the tent, he found that the tent was empty.
The big eunuch was shocked, the emperor was a living person who walked into the tent in front of his eyes, and now this situation is only possible...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and turned around to call the guards in, but one of them blocked him in the curtain.
Before the big eunuch could say a word, he lost his breath and was gently placed on the ground by someone.
This person was Wei Ting, who disguised himself as Chen Guo's guard, and he placed the big eunuch in a corner of the tent, lifted the carpet on the ground, and groped for something on the grassy ground with both hands.
Soon, a tunnel entrance that only allowed one person to enter and exit appeared in the meadow, covered tightly by a thick meadow, and Wei Ting would not have been able to find this mechanism if he hadn't known it in advance.
"Hua Shao, take him away as soon as possible, I'll leave it here." The tunnel was pitch black, and Wei Ting didn't go down, only handed over an object in his hand, "Please also transfer this thing to Your Majesty." β
In the darkness, he stretched out a hand and took the things in Wei Ting's hand, and Wei Ting rearranged the mechanism and restored it to its original appearance on the surface.
Outside the tent, the sound of Shuo Guo's guards questioning was already heard, and someone stopped them, and the two sides confronted each other and an argument broke out.
Wei Ting arranged the inside of the tent properly, and then walked out as usual.
ββ¦β¦ Who are you? The Shuo State guards looked over one after another, and they all felt that this face was very familiar, looked at each other, and noticed that something was wrong, and the head of the guards raised his hand fiercely and shouted, "Do it!" They are not envoys of the State of Chen, the emperor was taken captive by them, save the emperor! β
Wei Ting's face was expressionless, he drew a knife with one hand, jumped out, and said coldly, "Kill!" β
In less than half a pillar of incense, this forest changed from quiet and peaceful to a place of killing, and the officials waiting outside could clearly see that not long after the emperor entered the tent, the guards of the two countries somehow drew their swords against each other.
"W-what's going on?"
The officials panicked, and they all took a few steps back, and then looked left and right, the guards had already joined the melee, the forest space was small, and it would not be long before they would move the battlefield and fight out of the forest, and then they would be the fish in the pond!
"Quick! Come on! Go back and find someone! β
As soon as these words came out, as if a word woke up a person in a dream, the officials hurriedly carried their robes and pushed each other to run towards the city gate.
Soon, this group of officials greeted the Chen Guo guards led by Ma Yong, Ma Yong sneered and ordered the guards to surround this group of officials, and without much explanation, they were all tied up and thrown on the carriage of Chen Guo's convoy.
"You, what are you doing? Don't forget, this is the territory of Shuo! β
"Hurry up and let go of this official! This is outside the imperial capital! β
Ma Yong continued to sneer, and when he gave an order, the mouths of all the officials were also choked with rags, unable to speak, unable to move their hands and feet, and lying on the carriage twisted one by one.
"It's a pity that your soldiers have been more than thirty miles recently, and those in the city don't know all this yet, so you should keep your mouth shut obediently, so as not to suffer!" Ma Yong checked them one by one, and waved his big hand, "Take it away!" β
The crowd in the city has gradually dispersed, and the people have begun to get busy, they only said that King Liao is also the brother-in-law of Emperor Shuo, and this Princess Liao naturally can't be lazy, so she is accompanied in the forest. The faint sound of fighting was also covered by the forest, and no one cared about what was going on there from a distance of three or four miles.
"What's going on?"
Jiuzun naturally noticed the changes outside the city, and his eyes were fierce, "Could it be that he has already done it?" β
Jiu Zun, who originally had a glimmer of hope for Jiu Yao, was changed because of Jiu Yao's remarks to the imperial doctor. The queen mother Ming Yuexi died miserably in front of his eyes, not to mention the death, let alone the pregnancy, Jiu Yao made up such a lie, and it was obvious that she was united in her heart.
Wu Jinghong was dressed in a tattered beggar costume, her face was also covered with all kinds of dust, and half of her face was covered with a rag, barely covering her worldly face, but her bright eyes could not be hidden.
She lowered her eyelids slightly, lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, I arranged it, this place is still some distance from the border of Shuoguo, if we want to ensure that King Liao and Princess Liao go back safely, we must have enough things in our hands." β
"What?"
"You come with me."
Jiuzun lowered his head and followed behind Wu Jinghong, who walked slowly along the base of the wall, raising his eyes from time to time to look at the big black cat pacing gracefully on the wall.
"You're letting it lead the way?" After walking through the two alleys, Jiuzun finally sensed Wu Jinghong's intentions, and chased after him, "Do you really want this cat to take you out of here?" β
"This is what the ceremonial soldiers explained before leaving, only Da Hei can find the real tunnel, if we don't follow Da Hei, we will only fall into a dead end." Wu Jinghong was not annoyed, but explained gently, "You have also seen it these days, Da Hei is very psychic, even if you believe in it once, it doesn't hurt." β
Jiuzun looked at the big black cat suspiciously, and then looked at Wu Jinghong's eyes full of patience and gentleness, and finally let out a sigh, "Let's go, let's go, whether it's reliable or not, this king can take you out." β
"In this case, then thank Your Highness in advance." Wu Jinghong smiled lightly and continued to keep up with the big black cat.
On the hill outside the imperial capital, the two of them walked back and forth between the bones, measuring the distance with their steps, and finally set a point. After a period of cleaning and excavation, they have opened a new tunnel opening.
"Dad, is this the tunnel in our kitchen?" The little kite leaned down and poked his head in, full of surprise, "Dad, it doesn't look like it's built temporarily, the walls are very strong!" β
"That's not it, it's all dug up by the ancestors of the Li family who are idle and bored." The salute clapped his hands and let out a long breath, "It's finally time to catch up, it's time for them to come out, right?" β
"Dad, why are there so many totems of thousand-faced flowers in our tunnels? What kind of character is our ancestor? β
Seeing that the ceremonial soldiers were leisurely looking for a place to sit down, the little kite took the food and handed it over, "Dad, does this totem have anything to do with the ancient legend on our continent?" β
"Why do you ask so much at a young age?" The ceremonial soldier wiped his sweat, and he ate and drank without stopping, not in a hurry, "There are some things that you shouldn't ask, ah, when you should know, you will naturally know." Now, the most important question you should ask is how to do the handiwork, understand? β
The little kite nodded obediently, "Oh, I see, Dad." β
Libing hummed with satisfaction, his cheap girl, the biggest advantage is that he is obedient enough, he has never let him bother more, I always heard people say that educating children is a very laborious thing, but I didn't expect him to pick up the cheap girl halfway, but let him save a lot of trouble.
The Libing and the little kite, father and daughter, didn't wait too long, and a big black cat came out of the tunnel first, and as soon as it jumped out, the big black cat's round pupils shrank into a vertical line, looking more fierce.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming." The salute beckoned to the big black cat, "Well done, big black, I'll give you a big credit!" β
The big black cat walked gracefully and walked to the side.
"Oh, it's His Majesty the Cloud Emperor......" The little kite poked her head at the entrance of the cave, and soon saw Wu Jinghong's gray face clearly, even if the gray fluttering was covered with half a rag, she could still see it at a glance.
Wu Jinghong climbed out with the help of the little kite, and then Jiuzun also jumped out, and after coming out, his eyes were full of surprise, "This is ......"
"It's a mass grave, a grave for the poor." The salute soldier continued, picked up the burden on the ground, and looked at Wu Jinghong, "Your Majesty the Cloud Emperor, everything I can do has been done, please go on your own for the rest of the road, the two of us will continue to run for our lives!" β
Wu Jinghong hurriedly stretched out his hand, and easily pulled the little kite beside him, "Wait!" β
"What else do you command?" The salute soldier answered lazily, and was a little surprised to see the little kite's expression again.
The little kite thought that she was going to leave with the salute soldiers, but she was a little depressed in her heart, and was suddenly pulled by Wu Jinghong, she was a little faintly excited, and looked at Wu Jinghong with anticipation.
Who knows, Wu Jinghong quickly let go of his hand and bowed deeply towards the father and daughter, "This trip is dangerous, thank you for your great help, I will remember the life-saving grace of the two." If I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay it in the future! β
