Chapter 116: Escape
Bai Hua was arrested and put in prison, and a few days later he was to be executed at the entrance of the vegetable market.
His embezzlement case was also investigated from scratch, and Zhang Luohu, who was sent by the fake Qin, was also arrested.
Unexpectedly, the two people who arrested him before were actually the current emperor and empress, Zhang Luohu was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, and his voice was trembling: "I don't know anything, don't ask me ......"
"You pretended to be a chincha, you should have been guilty of death, but for the sake of your daughter, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." Shen Tingcheng spoke slowly.
Zhang Luohu's body weakened, fell to the ground, and said with tears and laughter: "I knew this was the case, why should I ......?"
He paused, and suddenly remembered that he had just heard that the queen seemed to be looking for her missing mother, and he immediately said: "Ask the emperor and queen to spare her life, the grass people have seen the queen mother's mother, for the sake of the grass people, for the sake of your daughter, can you reduce the sentence for the grass people?" ”
As soon as Shen Tingcheng heard that Zhang Luohu had actually seen his mother, his beautiful eyes instantly widened, ignoring Xiao Beirin's call, he rushed to Zhang Luohu, his red lips opened and closed: "Have you seen the mother of this palace?" Where, say! ”
Shen Chengcheng was anxious to find his mother, and Xiao Beirin was afraid that she would have another accident if she went alone, so he handed over the rest of the matter to the assassin.
He took Shen Chengcheng and followed Zhang Luohu to the place he said that he had seen Lin Fangru.
The three of them came to a remote alley, looking at the empty alley, Shen Qingcheng's eyes could not hide their disappointment: "Are you sure you saw the mother of the palace here?" ”
Zhang Luohu nodded timidly: "That's right, it's just that it's late that day, and I only saw her running, so I didn't see anything else." ”
Shen Qingcheng pursed the corners of his mouth in frustration.
She thought that Zhang Luohu could bring out any useful clues, but it turned out that it was really as simple as just meeting each other.
Seeing Shen Tingcheng's eyes gradually darken, Xiao Beirin couldn't bear to disappoint her, and ordered to the secret guard behind him in a deep voice: "You follow me to search door to door to see if there will be any trace of Mrs. Lin here." ”
Since Lin Fangru appeared in this alley, maybe the people here will have clues.
There were no people living in this alley, and there were only a few families, and they didn't dare to say anything when they looked at the guards who rushed in.
It wasn't until the secret guard pushed open the door of an uninhabited house that Xiao Beirin led people in, and just as he was about to enter the house, the door of the house opened suddenly.
A group of black-clothed assassins descended from the sky and surrounded Xiao Beirin and Shen Chengcheng, the long swords in their hands exuding a terrifying chill: "Kill me, you must not let them return to the capital safely!" ”
"Protect the Emperor!" Xiao Beirin's secret guard roared.
The two sides were entangled in a fierce battle.
Xiao Beirin's secret guard was only at ease at first, but there were many assassins on the opposite side, as if they couldn't finish killing them.
Soon, there were a lot of blood marks on the guards.
The secret guard spat out a mouthful of blood and said to Xiao Beirin: "Your Majesty, the other party is prepared, the ministers can't parry, you quickly take the queen mother away, and the ministers can hold them back for a stick of incense!" ”
Xiao Beirin looked at the courtyard of the remnants with heavy eyes, and understood that if it was a woman's kindness today, even he might not be able to leave alive, and said in a deep voice: "Your family, when I return to Beijing, I will be added to the rank and knight, so that I can live and be compensated." ”
The guards looked at each other, reassured, and turned to rush into the crowd to fight.
As the emperor's secret guard, they died for the emperor, and they were not unwilling.
Xiao Beirin ran out of the alley with Shen Qingcheng, but the two of them had a big goal and were discovered by the assassins early.
The Assassin stood on the eaves and shot arrows at them.
The wind whistled through the air, and a feather arrow was almost about to pierce Shen Qingcheng's back, but was blocked by Xiao Beirin with his body.
"Your Majesty!"
Xiao Beirin fell forward heavily, Shen Qingcheng screamed in fright, and reached out to catch Xiao Beirin's body.
"Don't talk, let's go!"
Xiao Beirin gritted his teeth and wrapped his arms around Shen Chengcheng's waist, and left the alley with a fast pace.
With assassins chasing him all the way behind, Xiao Beirin led Shen Chengcheng to flee into the woods, blocking the two of them with the help of dense foliage and night.
Xiao Beirin covered Shen Qingcheng's mouth to prevent her from making a sound, and the two hid downhill, listening to the sound of assassins passing by not far away.
"I saw them here, why are they gone, people!"
"I'm afraid I'm running ahead, chase quickly, the opportunity is rare!"
The footsteps of several people quickly disappeared.
Only then did Xiao Beirin let go of Shen Tingcheng, the two lowered their voices and gasped, Shen Tingcheng nervously touched the back of Xiao Beirin's hand, and felt an arrow feather, and a hand full of warm blood.
"You're injured, are you stupid, why do you want to block the arrows for me, their target is you, you do this, what happened, didn't it just happen to them?"
"Since I want to take you out, then I will bring you back unscathed, and I don't have to worry about Allure, I ...... It's going to be fine. ”
Xiao Beirin propped up his body and pulled Shen Chengcheng towards the woods.
But soon the two of them realized that something was wrong.
The woods were dark and deep, and the branches were almost in the same direction, and soon they were lost.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and there was the roar of a beast nearby, Shen Qingcheng was afraid that the beast would follow the smell of blood, so he hurriedly found a spacious cave and pulled Xiao Beirin to hide inside.
Xiao Bei frowned, leaned against the cave with his eyes closed and gasped, Shen Chengcheng knelt in front of him and carefully wiped the blood from him.
saw Xiao Beirin holding the feather arrow behind him with his backhand, and broke it alive.
A low groan of pain escaped from the man's mouth.
Shen Qingcheng was frightened by him, and pounced on him to hold his hand: "Are you crazy?" ”
Xiao Beirin smiled faintly, his cheeks were pale from excessive blood loss: "I won't die, don't worry." Allure, I'm a little sleepy, I want to rest for a while......"
"Xiao Beirin, you are not allowed to sleep, you open your eyes and look at me, Xiao Beirin!"
Xiao Beirin leaned against the wall silently, if it weren't for the low breathing, the whole person seemed to be dead.
Shen Tingcheng felt his pulse and was relieved to make sure that he had not yet reached the moment when the oil ran out and the lamp ran out.
She ran out of the cave, looked for some herbs on the spot, chewed them and smeared them on Xiao Beirin's wounds, then pulled out the hairpin from her head and picked out the broken arrow from Xiao Beirin's flesh.
Finally, he took off his hair and put it on the slender copper wire of the hairpin, and stitched up Xiao Beirin's wound little by little.
After doing all this, Shen Qingcheng was covered in sweat, and he was so tired that he almost fainted.
Holding on to the last shred of her senses, she set a simple trap around the cave with stones and branches, and the whole person lost his strength and fell to the ground, falling asleep.
When he woke up the next day, Shen Chengcheng couldn't open his eyes because of the sunlight.
She rubbed the corners of her eyes, and heard a man's low and weak voice in her ears: "Awake? ”
Xiao Beirin's voice!
