Chapter 453: Secret Path
The situation in Xiling was turbulent, and the emperor directly issued an edict, listing Qi Han's top ten crimes.
Qi Han continued to mobilize troops and horses outside the imperial city, and the war was about to break out.
The other vassal kings were ready to go, and since Qi Han was going to fight for that position, they naturally couldn't watch it tightly.
The emperor stood on the tall building of the imperial palace, looking down on the entire imperial city, with a complicated gaze.
Shen Xingwan walked over and saluted, "I've seen the emperor." ”
The emperor turned back in the cold wind, "You can leave today, I only hope that King Luo can keep the agreement." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of you during this time." Shen Xingwan stepped back.
Coming to this point can be said to be the greatest sorrow of the royal family. The title of "the king of forgetting the country" is heavy and difficult for people to bear.
Back at the place where he lived, Bai Ling had already packed his luggage.
She asked excitedly and nervously, "Miss, can we leave?" ”
Shen Xingwan nodded, she didn't have a trace of nostalgia for this place.
She and Bai Ling both changed into warm and neat clothes to make it easier for them to walk outside.
Lan Die and Jiang Shiyi Lang appeared in full armor, and the group, led by the great eunuch, circled around the huge palace, and finally stopped in front of the cold palace gate.
The big eunuch pushed open the dilapidated door, "Everyone come with me." ”
Eventually, they stopped at a dry well, and the great eunuch had a ladder brought to them, apparently to let them go down the well.
Shen Xingwan curiously approached the wellhead and looked down, "Shall we go from here?" ”
The eunuch nodded, and instructed the people to set up the ladder.
Blue Butterfly was the first to go down to make sure there was no danger, and the others slowly descended in turn.
Shen Xing looked around after going down late, this place looked like an ordinary dry well, and there was nothing abnormal.
The great eunuch was the last to come down, and took out a night pearl from his bosom, and the entire dim dry well was instantly illuminated.
I saw him grope carefully on the wall for a while, twist it hard, and a passage appeared that could only allow one person to leave.
The great eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead and ordered a black man, "Dumb slaves, you take them out." ”
He said to Shen Xingwan again, "Miss Shen led people to follow him, and the exit of the passage is on the mass grave, which is very safe." ”
Shen Xingwan said softly, "You go back and help me, thank Your Majesty." ”
The big eunuch said respectfully, "I wish the girl a safe journey." ”
The great eunuch watched them disappear into the passage, and then turned the switch to restore everything.
He calmly walked out of the dry well, he was a great eunuch who had been with the emperor since he was a child, and he would not leave no matter what happened.
There is a hole in the passage, and there are lights burning out along the road, and you can see that someone has just walked by.
"It seems that the Queen Mother left from here." Shen Xingwan said softly.
"Sure enough, it was the royal family that had ruled Xiling for more than 200 years, and it had left a way out for itself early." Jiang Shiyi Lang sighed.
By the time the road map after the mass grave arrived, the emperor had already given it to him, and he had already sent someone to explore the road.
The front part is very safe, one is because it is remote, and the other is because there are royal forces along the road, secretly controlling the field.
It is estimated that the Queen Mother should be able to leave safely.
As for them, their final destination is to Shengle, the border of the two countries, and wait for the arrival of the army.
Therefore, in the second half of the route, the royal family cannot provide a guarantee, and it is up to them to find it themselves.
This secret passage is not ornate or large, and can accommodate at most two people to pass side by side.
The mute slave walked with them at a moderate pace for the day, then stopped in a dark room and motioned for them to rest.
There is a thick large felt in the darkroom, which can be covered for heating.
After resting for about two hours, the mute slave woke everyone up by striking the gong and then continued to lead the way.
In the pain canal, I can't feel the passage of time, and I can't tell the difference between day and night.
Everyone followed him around like this, and occasionally Shen Xing and Jiang Shiyi Lang talked about political affairs, and most of the water and food they brought were quickly consumed.
The dumb slaves, who had finally walked in front, turned around and made a stop gesture to them.
Everyone stopped, and Shen Xingwan's eyes lit up, "Is it here?" ”
The mute slave nodded, motioned for them to stop where they were, and stepped forward on their own.
Blue Butterfly whispered, "He's a master, and his martial arts skills may be higher than none of us." ”
After a while, the mute slave quietly returned, motioning for them to follow.
Shen Xingwan guessed that he should have gone out to check if it was safe outside.
The dumb slave who walked in the front secretly moved the mechanism to open the door and get out of the way.
Shen Xingwan took the lead and walked out, and the exit was in a chaotic forest, and the smell of rotting meat wafted in the air.
"Whew-whew-whew-"
"Wow-wow-wow-"
It's quite oozing, and the wind is gusting.
Bai Ling stood behind Shen Xingwan in fear, "This is the mass grave that the grandmothers said..."
The palace is basically a place where people die every day, and those who die in the palace are often wrapped in straw mats and thrown directly into the mass graves.
So in the bustling imperial city, there is a mass grave.
It's really hard for ordinary people to think about setting the exit here.
The mute stooped down and saluted, and quickly closed the door of the passage.
The mercenary, codenamed Linghu, stepped forward, "Everyone follow me." ”
What he does best is tracking and finding his way, as well as finding his way through the night.
Shen Xingwan tightened the clothes on his body and followed closely behind him.
It's night, and it's a mass grave again, and although there are some people, it's safe, and there are no people at all.
And although Qi Han was outside the imperial city, he didn't forget her. has already given an order to the people lurking in the imperial city to keep an eye on her movements, and as soon as she leaves the palace, she will be arrested immediately.
Qi Han's people in the palace have almost been cleaned, and there are only a few low-level palace people left.
They didn't realize that something was wrong until Shen Xingwan completely disappeared into the palace for a day and a night.
By the time they spread the news, Shen Xingwan had already left.
And the secret guard who received the news immediately ordered, "Keep an eye on all the exits of the palace, and once you find her figure, you will immediately send the news back." ”
It's a pity that the gate of the palace is closed, not to mention Shen Xingwan's figure, no one comes out at all.
Qi Han quickly received the news, and he sneered, "Sure enough, it's not cunning, I was still deceived by her acting skills." ”
The main thing is that he trusts Twilight's illusion, and Twilight never misses.
"Twilight Guiyi died at the hands of a master of illusion, and it's normal for her to regain her memory." The subordinate answers.
Qi Han was unwilling, Shen Xingwan was a good chess piece to him, and he didn't wait for her to escape like this.
He looked at the map and pointed to the junction of the two countries, "No matter which line they take, the final destination will definitely be here, send someone to guard it." ”
He was going to send people directly to the border to wait for the rabbits, and when the time came, he would catch them all.
