Chapter 294: Huo Gong and the Two

Soon, Li Yi climbed the rope and quickly went up to the city. Then the people went up to the top of the city with his help.

Then they took refuge in the city gate.

"I'm curious about how this Nan Yi and the others plan to escape from this Shouzhou City." Keiko was looking through the window of the gate tower at the gate gate below.

The Vermilion Bird Gate under the firelight was extremely quiet, which was simply two extremes from the tragic Xuanwu Gate.

However, the current silence is the tranquility before the storm, and Li Yi and the others all know that in a few moments, this quiet Suzaku Gate is afraid that it will fall into chaos.

While Keiko was observing the situation at the Suzaku gate, Li Yi was not idle. He quickly climbed to the top of the gate tower, and the guards who were guarding the Suzaku Gate under the cover of darkness did not notice them.

He then proceeded to take the two holsters apart and quickly attach them together. After he had spliged the two holsters into the glider, he skillfully stuck the barrel of his red sleeve at the front of the glider.

The red sleeve move instantly became a stand for the glider. After splicing the glider, Li Yi fixed it on the top of the city gate tower and then quietly returned to the city gate tower himself.

"Now everything is ready, and now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." Li Yi looked at the situation near the Vermilion Bird Gate, and then looked at the staircase of the city wall.

And now the east wind that Li Yi said was quietly moving towards the stairs of the city wall. Now half an hour has passed, but the guards at the Suzaku gate are still patrolling back and forth without the slightest sign of rest.

So Nan Yi really didn't want to wait any longer, so he ordered everyone to sneak to the staircase and kill the two soldiers who were guarding the staircase.

By this time, they had already figured out the movements of the gatekeepers, so they could easily avoid the patrols of the guards.

So the most important thing for them now is how to kill the two soldiers guarding the stairs without realizing it.

Once they can't do it quietly, then they have to face a forced breakout. If you just face the dozens of city guards at the Vermilion Bird Gate, Nan Ke is actually not worried, but once they attack, it will inevitably attract more Huainan troops and city guard soldiers.

When the time comes, they will inevitably be caught in a bitter battle. If things get to this point, it's hard to say if they will have a chance to escape.

Even if they have a chance to escape, it is a question of how many of them will be able to survive by chance.

So now their success or failure is up to them. However, Zhu Jiu is still very confident in this, after all, he has not only experienced the war with the grassland tribe, but also experienced many years of secret spy career.

So he's a layman for assassinations and raids. Therefore, under his leadership, three of his other most powerful spies lurked silently like ghosts at the top of the staircase.

When they reached the stone wall of the staircase, the four of them disappeared into darkness.

The two soldiers guarding the staircase were also quite alert, and they heard an unusual sound at the first time.

So the two of them immediately began to look around, but after a week of inspection, they did not find the four of them, so they began to lean against the city wall and began to chat.

And in the process, the four of them hid next to them by the stairs. As the two looked around, whenever they looked down, they would find the four of them.

And Nan Ye and the others, who were hiding in the distance, were all worried in the process, he was afraid that Zhu Jiu and the others would be discovered.

But fortunately, in the end, the god of luck favored them, and the four of them escaped this patrol without danger.

And the two soldiers on the other side had already crossed out their names in the life and death book of Lord Yama at this moment.

Just when Nan Ye and the others secretly rejoiced that they and the others had done unnoticed, he didn't know that everything they had just seen had been fully seen.

At this time, Jingzi was holding the telescope and looking at it with relish, but the few people around him were anxious like ants on a hot pot, especially An Su and Qi Chao, who were eager to grab the telescope.

However, Keiko is looking at the rise at this time, and he doesn't want to hand over the telescope. At the critical moment, Qi Ning stood up and snatched the telescope in Jingzi's hand and looked at it with great interest.

At this time, after Zhu Jiu and the others evaded the inspection of the two soldiers, they began to act quietly again.

Zhu Jiu took the lead in squatting down, and then cautiously stretched his head out, and when he found that the two were chatting leisurely at this time, he immediately nodded and motioned for the three subordinates to do it.

The three of them immediately drew the short sword at their waist after receiving Zhu Jiu's signal, and then rushed out with a brisk step.

As soon as the three of them rushed out, Zhu Jiu also rushed out with him. The four of them had a clear division of labor, and they attacked the two soldiers separately in pairs.

In the face of the four Zhu Jiu who suddenly rushed out, even the soldiers defending the city were unable to make any reaction for a while, and their throats had been cut by Zhu Jiu.

That way, they don't even have a chance to speak out. And after the four of them cut these two people and roared, two of them immediately carried the two unlucky soldiers on their shoulders and quickly walked towards the city wall.

At the same time, Zhu Jiu and another subordinate quickly put on the helmets of the two soldiers guarding the city just now, and then the two leaned against the city wall and pretended to chat.

By the time they had done all this, the soldiers patrolling the city gates had already made their way here. When they saw Zhu Jiu and the two of them leaning against the city wall and chatting, they were not suspicious, and then they patrolled around according to the prescribed route and returned to the city gate.

Seeing that the patrolling soldiers had left, Zhu Jiu and the other breathed a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, they waved their hands to signal that Nan Ye and the others could come over. And all of this was clearly seen by Qi Ning, who was holding a telescope.

"Two of them have already come up, and the others are coming up soon." Immediately, she stuffed the telescope into Li Yi's hand.

Li Yi took the telescope and glanced at it, and then threw the telescope to Qi Chao, who had been watching.

"Ansu, come with me, let's go and get rid of the two people who came up just now." Li Yi said and took the lead out of the city gatehouse.

And An Su immediately followed excitedly after hearing Li Yi's order.

"We are also ready, and then we must all escape from Shouzhou City before the Huainan army comes up." Keiko immediately said to everyone.

When Gong Zhihua and Huo Qibing climbed up to the city panting with the corpses of the two guards guarding the city, their beating hearts finally calmed down.

Their hearts were beating like a drum just now, not only because they were tired of carrying the corpse, but also because they were worried that they would be discovered by the guards of the Suzaku Gate.

If they had been accidentally discovered just now, then Nan Yi and they would probably not have had a chance to climb to the top of the city.

Although the weather was already very cold at this time, the two of them were still sweating. The sweat was mixed with the blood of the soldier on his shoulder, and it felt very uncomfortable to stick to his back.

So when they climbed to the top of the city, they immediately threw the body on their shoulders to the ground.

"It's a goddamn bad luck that we've killed so many people and we've got blood all over ourselves for the first time." Gong Zhihua took off his robe as he spoke, and then wrung out the blood on it.

"I was almost discovered by these two guys just now, so much so that I almost couldn't hold back and was about to force my shot." Huo Qibing kicked twice on the corpse.

"But there are no accidents, otherwise if we really fight with these city guards, we are afraid that there will be casualties." Gong Zhihua said with emotion.

"It can only be said that God blesses us, it is estimated that Nanshuai and they are coming up soon, let's go and prepare the ropes first, and as soon as they come up, we can escape from Shouzhou City." Gong Zhihua saw that Huo Qibing was still kicking the corpse to vent, so he spoke.

"Okay, sooner or later, we will come back from the Yue Kingdom, and when the time comes, Lao Tzu will definitely kill all these untouchables in the Huainan Kingdom." Huo Qibing said as he kicked the corpse of the city guard again.

In this regard, Gong Zhihua only shook his head helplessly, and walked towards the place where Zhu Jiu and them had hidden the rope before.

And Huo Qibing immediately followed Gong Zhihua quickly. In fact, the reason why Huo Qibing wanted to vent his anger with the corpse of the soldier guarding the city was not because the other party's blood stained his clothes, nor because he was angry because he was running wildly with the corpse on his back, but in fact, the reason why he was like this was entirely because his younger brother was among the rebels before.

Although so far he has not confirmed whether his brother has been sacrificed. But judging from the explosion of the Xuanwu Gate just now, there is a high probability that his younger brother has died in the Xuanwu Gate.

So now Huo Qibing has actually been holding back a ball of anger in his heart, but he has nowhere to vent, which caused him to vent his anger with the corpse of the soldier guarding the city just now.

"Do you think we will be able to make steady progress when we return to Yue this time?" Huo Qibing asked Gong Zhihua as he walked.

"You think too much, this time we have suffered heavy losses in Huainan Kingdom, and the plan that the king has planned for many years has failed, and I will not be punished when I go back, thank God, what do you still want!" Gong Zhihua said with a wry smile.

At this time, he didn't want any extravagant rewards in his heart, what he wanted most now was to return to the country of Yue and return to the countryside with his wife and children, and he no longer wanted to care about these things of fame and fortune.

"Although we have failed, the responsibility is not ours, we have not contributed to Huainan in the past few years, at least we have worked hard!" Huo Qibing still said without giving up.

"Come on, now that the situation in Huainan is like this, I'm afraid the king is going crazy, do you still expect him to remember our hard work? The only way we can survive safely now is to pit Nan Shuai and give us these kind words after he returns, otherwise what awaits us is either death or the black water prison of Yue Kingdom. At the mention of Heishui Prison, Huo Qibing couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he was afraid of this prison that terrified the entire Yue people.

But none of the criminals who were imprisoned in this prison made it out alive. It can be said that this prison is even more terrifying than the heavenly prison of the Dayu Dynasty.

"Then will Nan Shuai also be punished by the king after he goes back?" At this time, Huo Qibing began to worry that Qi Nan could come, if Nan Ye, who was pinned on by them, was also punished, then Nan Ye, who was unable to protect himself, would definitely not have the heart to speak for them.

"You can rest assured that Nan Shuai will not be punished, after all, the failure of Huainan Guo's plan this time is due to Bao Wenqin and Pan He, and Nan Shuai is even more small with the king, and the relationship between them is still relatively deep." The two walked as they talked, and soon the two came to the place where Zhu Jiu had hidden the rope before.

They then began to tie one end of the rope to the battlements of the wall, and then threw the other end out of the wall.

Soon the two of them will have three ropes ready. And during this period, they didn't even notice that Li Yi and An Su had slowly touched their backs.

Li Yi and An Su even watched them tie up the ropes the whole time. When they were done with all this, Li Yi nodded at An Su, and then the two of them quickly stepped forward and strangled the necks of the two.

As soon as their arms were exerted, the two of them were immediately strangled speechless.

"Childe, let's just kill these two guys." An Su saw that the guy he was holding in his hand was still struggling, so his arm was violently strengthened, and Huo Qibing, who was caught by his arm, immediately felt that his breathing began to become difficult, and his eyes began to rise with gold stars.

"What are you doing to kill them, I plan to let these two go back to Yue Guo to report their funeral!" Li Yi strangled Gong Zhihua with one force.

Then he put Gong Zhihua down, and after confirming that he was just strangled unconscious, Li Yi immediately pulled up the two ropes that Gong Zhihua and Huo Qibing had put down.

Then he quickly tied Gong Zhihua up, and then pushed him down from the city.

"It's a bit cheap to let these two guys go like this, these two boys." Although Ansu felt a little pity, he finally obeyed Li Yi's orders.

Like Li Yi, he also strangled Huo Qibing with a little force on his arm. Then Huo Qibing, like Gong Zhihua, was tied up with a rope and thrown down.

Then Li Yi directly raised his knife and cut off the two ropes that bound the two from the city.

"Childe still has a rope, what should we do with it?" Seeing the two ropes slowly falling from the head of the city to the outside of the city, An Su looked at the last rope.

"Give them a hope, a hope that makes them despair." As he spoke, Li Yi pulled the last rope up a meter or two, and then cut the rope a little with the tip of his gun.

In an instant, the rope was cut to the point that only a thin part remained.

"Childe, you are!" After seeing Li Yi's actions, An Su couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and gave Li Yi a thumbs up.

"Childe and Jingzi are really taught by the same master, and they both have the same black belly." An Su secretly scolded in his heart.

"Alright, it's almost done, we should get ready to go!" Li Yi looked at the last rope hanging from the city, and his face showed a wicked smile.

Then the two of them quickly walked in the direction of the city gate tower. When the two of them returned to the city gate, Nan Yi and the others were finally injured on the city wall.

As soon as they went up to the city wall, they found the bodies discarded on the ground by Gong Zhihua and Huo Qibing.

"These two guys are really, they almost tripped me up by dumping these two corpses here." Zhu Jiu kicked the corpse that fell to the ground.

However, the corpse was so heavy that he couldn't kick it away.

"It's a bit inappropriate to put the corpse here, but it doesn't matter if I have to go up to the city wall without danger now." Seeing that he and the others would soon be able to escape, Nan Yi was in a very good mood at the moment, so he was unwilling to hold Huo Qibing and Gong Zhihua accountable.

"Where did those two go?" Nan Yi looked around, but he didn't find Huo Qibing and Gong Zhihua, so he frowned and asked.

At this time, he began to worry about whether the Huainan army was ambushed on the city wall. However, after observing for a moment, he dismissed this idea again.

Because if there was really an ambush of the Huainan army on the city wall, then they would definitely kill them immediately if they were standing at the head of the city so arrogantly.

Even if they are afraid of the large number of people on their side, they will definitely warn the guards near the city gate as soon as possible.

"Maybe these two guys have already gone to prepare the ropes!" Although Zhu Jiu also felt a little confused, he also gave what he thought was the most likely guess.

"Then let's get out of town." Nan Yi nodded, then cracked and commanded. The group then made a quick move towards the place where the rope had been hidden.

But when they arrived here, they still didn't find Huo Gong and the others, which made Zhu Jiu's face extremely difficult to look at.

His first thought at this time was that the two guys had already escaped ahead of time.

"Look for ropes around." At this time, Zhu Jiu no longer had the heart to investigate the guilt of these two people who escaped early, and he only prayed now that these two damn guys did not take all the ropes they had prepared.

If there were no ropes, it would be impossible for them to escape from such a high wall, even if they had great ability.

And Nan Yi also began to suspect that Huo Gong and the others had defected and fled in advance. His heart began to panic a little, and the palpitating feeling came back to him.

But just as he was about to question Zhu Jiu, a rebel soldier said excitedly at this time.

"Nan Shuai, I wish my lord that there is still a rope here." The soldier's words made Zhu Jiu and Nan Ye all breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Huo Qibing and Gong Zhihua defected and fled in advance, they finally left a rope, which undoubtedly left them a way out.

"Looks like these two guys went down through this rope." Nan can come to the rope and say with a frosty face.

"Damn, I prepared three ropes, and these two guys only left one rope, I guess if they didn't escape safely, they would have taken this last rope with them." Zhu Jiu scolded angrily.

"Since they have left a rope, let's get out of the city quickly, if they destroy the boat you left behind, we will really not be able to escape." Nan Yi said as he looked at the moat that shimmered in the moonlight.
