Chapter 354: Responding

Su Xiaojiu looked at Emperor Yuan He, who had been sitting on the top for two days, this coward, he didn't dare to go out to talk to Xu Mang since the city was broken, and it was no different from waiting for him to die

She is not as optimistic as Aunt Zhang, Emperor Yuan He is selfish and selfish, even if someone really works for him to get food, I am afraid that it will not be distributed to others.

"Niangniang, Su is in charge, why don't you go as a villain."

Canglian was not far from the two, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he took the initiative to step forward and said, "The villain is familiar with the roads in the palace, and he can also take the opportunity to see the situation outside." ”

In the past few days, everyone has been covered in the hall, except for listening to the fighting outside, no one dares to go out, Lu Cheng and twenty guards dare not stay away an inch, if they want to get supplies, they can only rely on themselves.

"Slaves and maids also go"

Fei Ran was still expressionless, and lowered his eyes and said, "Anyway, the slave and maid have nothing to worry about, if they really encounter the rebels, the big deal is death." ”

"No."

It was Canglian who spoke.

"You can only drag me down, stay here and follow Su Zhang."

Hearing the word "dragging", Fei Ran's face turned a little pale, but he stubbornly said, "I won't drag you down, if you encounter danger, you can just throw me away and escape." ”

Canglian took a deep look at her, turned around and walked out, and Fei Ran really followed without leaving.

"Niangniang, you just let the slave go, there is a marquis guarding the palace gate, and the rebels are not coming in so quickly"

Su Xiaojiu didn't worry about the two of them going out, she was still carrying a weapon, but Canglian and Feiran were unarmed, so it was too risky to go out like this.

In fact, at this moment, no matter who goes out, it is an adventure.

Concubine Rong wanted to open her mouth to stop it, but her stomach suddenly contracted, and she didn't dare to move, leaning on the cold hard chair and panting heavily, trying to calm her stomach.

Su Xiaojiu wanted to hold her hand to comfort her, but she didn't want Concubine Rong's always warm hands to be cold, and they all said that pregnant people are hot and generally not afraid of cold, but because of this, Concubine Rong usually wears thinner clothes than them, and after staying in the hall without charcoal fire for a day and a night, she has already been frozen.

Damn, she was negligent

Now she had to get out.

Taking advantage of Aunt Zhang's time to appease Niangniang, she gestured towards Canglian and Feiran, and the three of them went out quietly through the back door bypassing the crowd.

It turned out that last night was another heavy snowfall.

In the past, the back courtyard of the Taihe Palace, which was heavily guarded by the army, was empty at this time, lined with snow, and it was even more lonely.

Just out of the main hall, the sound of fighting outside rushed into my ears without hindrance, and it sounded as if it was close at hand.

The three of them didn't dare to delay, and they rushed for a while, but they were suddenly blocked by one person.

Lu Cheng was originally looking out from the roof of the house to prevent someone from blending in from behind, but when he saw three figures sneaking out of the main hall, he swooped over one and blocked their way.

found that it was Su Xiaojiu who was the leader, pulled up the long sword in his hand, and asked, "Miss Su, where are you going?"

"The slave wants to go back to Ronghua Palace to get some supplies, and she will come back soon, and ask Lu Gongzi to be accommodating."

From the day he stepped into the main hall, the emperor had strictly ordered that no one was allowed to enter and exit at will, so Su Xiaojiu would say so.

Lu Cheng gently persuaded, "Miss Su, it's not that you are unkind, it's just that the rebels will attack at any time, and the Taihe Hall is the safest place right now, so you better go back." ”

The twenty people left behind are the top masters of the guards, not to mention one as a hundred at the critical moment, it is not a problem to deal with two or three hundred people.

"But the mother can't eat or sleep well, the slave is afraid that she won't be able to hold on, Lu Gongzi, you are her own brother, you don't want to see her have an accident."

As soon as he heard about Concubine Rong, Lu Cheng was really silent, wanting to let him go, but he was worried about Su Xiaojiu's safety, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

It's a pity that he has to guard the Taihe Palace, otherwise he can help her get it.

Su Xiaojiu was angry with his mother-in-law, and couldn't help but say, "Master Lu, now is not the time to hesitate, Ronghua Palace is not far from here, let's go and return quickly, soon"

Lu Cheng had no choice but to get out of the way, "Then you must be careful, once you hear any movement, you will flee to the Taihe Hall as soon as possible." ”

"Hey, wait, wait, wait"

When everyone turned around, they saw Seventeen also running out, shouting very loudly.

Lu Cheng instinctively frowned, "Why are you here?"

"I want to go back and get something, just together."

He has everything to do, since he made a special trip, there must be private goods, so Su Xiaojiu said, "Then hurry up and bring everything you should take, just in case." ”

Although Lu Cheng didn't know what he was going to take, he just saw that Su Xiaojiu was talking for him, and it was not easy to stop him, so he said helplessly, "Then you'd better act together, in case something happens, there will be a response." ”

Seventeen sneered, "The master is going to Ci'an Palace, and it's not easy to go with them, so it's better to act separately."

"Two women on their side, if they are in danger"

Lu Cheng was mainly worried about Su Xiaojiu, but Seventeen couldn't stand his verbosity, so he pushed Su Xiaojiu's shoulder and ran forward, "Oh, okay, it's okay, there is enough ink for this time, and the master will run back and forth, and if you talk about it, you will all die a fart."

The gate of Ronghua Palace was open, but there was no one inside.

Su Xiaojiu took Canglian and Feiran to the small kitchen, but found that the door of the small warehouse had been destroyed, and it must have been done by the palace attendants who had fled.

is to escape, where can they flee Now that the rebels have surrounded the palace, the doors of the major palaces are closed, and the palace people are wrapped up in baggage, but they are hiding in various parts of the palace, and they can't get out at all.

It was a mess inside, as if it had been looted, except for the rice and noodles, which were too heavy and not taken away, and the other shelves were almost empty.

Fei Ran walked inside, picked up the baskets scattered on the ground one by one, looked at Su Xiaojiu and said, "Boss, what should I do now?"

Su Xiaojiu looked around, went to the kitchen and opened the stove one by one, and found that there were several drawers of dim sum in an idle stove, which was the failed product she had in order to learn dim sum from Concubine Ruan's hometown.

It's said to be a failure, but the taste is a little different from that made by Concubine Ruan, and it still tastes delicious.

I think it's because I did too much in those days and had nowhere to put it, so it was piled up in this inconspicuous place, and it was not taken away by the cooks, but now it has come in handy.

Naturally, one does not fall all into the basket.

There was still a lot of harvest inside and out, and a few people went back to the dormitory to check it out.

Fortunately, when he left, Su Xiaojiu had a heart and locked all the valuable jewelry of Concubine Rong in the warehouse, the door lock was a big iron stone, and it was difficult to split it with an axe without a key, so he just lost some clothes and ornaments, and the loss was not big.

"You two go first with your things, and I'll come later."

Canglian and Feiran's arms were already full, Su Xiaojiu turned out a few hand stoves, and began to fill the bag with charcoal again.

Seeing that the two refused to leave, he urged, "Don't wait for me, I'll pick up a few more things and chase you, hurry up"

"In charge, let's go together, in case of any accidents, we can still take care of them."

"They won't be able to come back for a while, you guys hurry up, I still have to go somewhere."

Niangniang is still frozen, so the sooner she brings things over, she can use them sooner.

As for her, she still wants to go to the cold palace first.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Canglian put down the things in his arms and said, "It's better like this, where is the boss going, the villain will go over for you, you can go with Feiran." ”

She didn't feel at ease if she didn't see Xiao Wu with her own eyes, so she rejected Canglian's kindness, shook her head and said, "No, you guys go quickly, if Niangniang asks, just say I'll go back soon." ”

The three of them split into two ways, Canglian and Fei Ran went to Taihe Palace, while Su Xiaojiu carried things on his back and ran towards the cold palace, I don't know what happened to Xiao Wu and them, they must have been frightened these days, is there enough food to eat, is there still a charcoal fire

There was chaos in her mind, but she didn't dare to stop for a moment, maybe it was the potential of the crisis that was infinitely stimulated, and she used to feel that the road was very long, but she only took less than twenty minutes to run.

The door of the cold palace was pushed from the inside, and she tried to push it, but it didn't move.

went around the high palace wall, and finally found in despair that without Xiao Jing, she couldn't get in at all.

The burden pressed her shoulders painfully, and just when she was at a loss, she found a dog hole behind a pile of weeds

God help me

However, the diameter of the dog hole is only about twenty or thirty centimeters, and the thing is okay to say, I don't know how to open the burden and stuff it in little by little, but she is wearing a thick cotton coat, which is enough to choke and pass.

You have to try it.

The road was empty, her heart was crossed, and she took off the cotton clothes with her fingers that were about to freeze, the cold immediately invaded her whole body, and her teeth trembled uncontrollably, Su Xiaojiu knelt on the ground, first stretched her head over to see the situation, and made sure that there was no one behind the wall, and then slowly sent her body inside.

Fortunately, she was thin and small, and she adjusted the angle a few times to get through, and the snow on her body was melted by the body temperature, and the dirty clothes were wet and cold on her body, and when the north wind blew, goosebumps all over her body rose.

It's just that no matter how big things are, we can't stand our mentality

Speaking of which, the dog cave is also one of the attractions that appear more frequently in the traversal plot, and today it can be regarded as a successful check-in and earned.

She quickly put on her clothes, and just now she ran wildly, and her clothes were already a little sweaty, so she took them off and stayed in the cold wind for a while, becoming cold and heavy.

Stuffing things into the baggage one by one, she got up and looked around, and found that the environment here was very unfamiliar, and it seemed that it was a little far away from Xiao Wu's residence, so she could only grope her way with a basic sense of direction.

All around was dry grass, and she walked through it, and the hard branches scratched her body, leaving many gaps in her clothes, but she could not care.

As I walked, I noticed that something was wrong.

Few people come to the cold palace on weekdays, but on the flat stone road in front of the barren grass, many messy footprints were found.

The surrounding palaces were silent, but Su Xiaojiu's footsteps seemed to be glued to the ground, and there were people in the house

And she came all the way from the corner of the wall to the dead branches, and there must have been a lot of noise, which must have been heard in the room

Cold sweat ran down his cheeks.

She swallowed and pulled her weapon out of her arms, but her eyes were fixed on the closed doors and windows, in case someone suddenly rushed out of the room, and the creaking of embroidered shoes on the school floor invisibly added a little tension to the strange atmosphere.

Behind those broken doors and windows, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at him, Su Xiaojiu didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he could only slowly withdraw from this strange courtyard while observing the surrounding routes.

Found the residence of Concubine Jin and Xiao Wu, the same silence, she felt a little hairy in her heart, first lay on the door panel and listened to the movement inside, there was a faint conversation of a woman inside, one was Concubine Jin, but the other couldn't hear who it was, and wondered, at this time, who else could come besides her

Try knocking on the door, and the door will open quickly.

Concubine Jin was obviously very surprised, "Miss Su, why are you here now?"

"I'll bring you some food, and I'll leave right away."

Su Xiaojiu flashed into the door, Concubine Jin looked out, hurriedly closed the door, saw the materials she unloaded, and said angrily, "When is this time, the rebels may break through the city gate at any time, it is too dangerous for you little girl to run out"

"It's okay, I have a way to defend myself, Xiao Wu"

Concubine Jin helped her pick up her burden and walked inside, "Xiao Wu is playing with her newly met sister, by the way, she is also from Ronghua Palace, saying that she knows you." ”

Su Xiaojiu raised her eyebrows, and Ronghua Palace came to know her

The two turned to the inner room, Xiao Wu was playing rock-paper-scissors with a gray-clothed palace man with his back to the door, and he may have just won a game, sharing his experience with his eyebrows.

Hearing the voice behind her, Xiao Wu looked up, and when she found out that it was Su Xiaojiu, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief, made sure that she was not mistaken, and hurriedly spread her calves and ran towards her, shouting in surprise, "Sister Jiujiu"

The gray-clothed palace man's movement of turning around froze at the moment he heard her voice, and when Su Xiaojiu called out her name, he froze even more in place.

"Lianxiang, why are you here?"

The main thing is that Lianxiang's back is too easy to recognize.

Concubine Jin came later, and said with a smile, "It's great that you really know that, now it's not peaceful outside, let's hide together, and we can still take care of it." ”

Su Xiaojiu only stared at Lianxiang, and repeated the question just now, "I'm asking you, why are you here?"

The tone was too condensed, Concubine Jin heard that something was wrong, and looked between the two for a while, and didn't dare to interject.

Lian Xiang shrank back, the two of them were very familiar with the conversation in front of her, she was afraid that Su Xiaojiu would send her out because of the previous festival, so she had to honestly explain the whole story.

After the news of the original palace change spread, the palace attendants who had a way fled one after another, and went to the palace to look for a hiding place, she was in Ronghua Palace when she was a child, and she didn't know where to hide, and because of her bad popularity, no one was willing to take her at the critical moment, and in the end she could only get into the cold palace with Da Yuer.

She grew fat, and she was not as agile as others, so she was left behind, and when she came, the idle houses in the cold palace had been occupied, and she knocked on many doors, only Concubine Jin opened the door, and when she heard that she was from Ronghua Palace, she didn't hesitate to let her hide in.
