Chapter Ninety-Five: The Imperial Princess's Rescue Plan
Lu Feng's expression was solemn, and he pondered for a long time, and then finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Otherwise, it obviously won't work for us to enter through the main gate, I know that there is a back door outside this courtyard, and the back door is often locked, let's find a way to send a letter to Niangniang, and let Commander Lin open the door and come out of the back door." β
Zheliu thought for a moment, although she was also a little skeptical about the feasibility of Lin Zheng's plan, but she really couldn't think of any other way, so she nodded as if she were home, and let the landing wind drag her towards the back door.
After just a few steps out, as Lin Zheng said, a simple and old wooden door appeared, the door was locked, and there were already rusty stains on the lock, which made people really can't bear to wonder if this can be opened.
Zheliu stepped forward and pulled the copper lock, a little debris fell on the copper lock, it opened a small crack with the door, and happened to see a small corner of the backyard, "There is really a door here, I never knew before." β
Lu Feng clasped his hands to his chest and straightened his chest, "No, this piece, I'm still more familiar with it." β
Ori Liu didn't bother to pay attention to him, she looked carefully at the lock in front of her, and saw that the rust that was growing wantonly almost blocked the keyhole completely.
"Who locked this lock, it's strange that it can be opened without moving for so long." Ori Liu looked inside through the crack in the door, and from this angle, he happened to see a window with a large door and the Praetorian Guard soldiers drinking and chatting inside.
Lu Feng's momentum instantly wilted when he heard Zheliu's words, he looked at Zheliu, and stopped talking.
Seeing that the person behind him had not moved for a long time, Zheliu turned around suspiciously, and saw Lu Feng behind him with a worried look.
"It can't be you, right?"
Lu Feng pursed his lips lightly, "Actually, this is actually the case, before this group of little rabbit cubs always looked for opportunities to sneak out of the back door to meet their sweetheart at night, and they couldn't find anyone at a critical time, and almost poked out the big basket, I had no choice but to lock this door." β
"What about the key?"
Lu Feng's neck shrank slightly, "Lost." β
Zheliu looked annoyed, and raised his hand to slash at Lu Feng's face, but Lu Feng hurriedly buried his head reflexively, but did not dodge.
Zheliu's slap deviated from the direction at the moment when it was about to fall on Lu Feng's head, and he would wipe Lu Feng's hair down.
"Forget it, it's more important to save Niangniang now, and you'll talk about it later." After Ori Liu finished speaking, he turned his head again, and looked inside vigorously through the crack in the door.
There was a burst of applause and cheers from inside the room, and in the gap in the small window, Lin Zheng and Jiang Ning's shoulders were almost pressed together.
"Ancestor, you have to find a way to remind your mother, otherwise it will be too late." Lu Feng listened to the cheers in this room, and his heart was simply frightened.
He was a little afraid that Mu Jingzhao wouldn't be able to hold it back, so he rushed directly into the hall and lifted the table.
Zheliu took a deep breath and sighed in his heart, sure enough, his mother was a person who made a fortune in a muffled voice, and such a big thing was done so silently.
"Cuckoo cuckoo." Zheliu stared at Jiang Ning's back in the room and shouted softly.
"What are you doing?" Lu Feng didn't understand the intention of Zheliu, but he still bowed down and asked softly.
Ori Liu didn't answer, but continued to learn the birdsong.
"Cuckoo cuckoo."
Inside the house, Jiang Ning heard the bird's call, and was slightly stunned by the action of sending wine to her mouth, she turned to the window behind her to look at it, but saw nothing.
"Strange, how can there be a cuckoo call in the palace?"
Since she entered the palace, she had never heard the sound of a cuckoo in the palace, and now she was a little surprised to hear it by chance.
"I guess I just got here recently." Vice General Chen's cheeks were faintly crimson, and he seemed to have some soft spot for fish made of folded willows, and he used chopsticks to clip one piece after another.
"This palace is a treasure of feng shui, and many rare birds love to come here."
Jiang Ning nodded, stopped talking, and continued to pick up the wine glass and send it to his mouth.
"Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo-" Seeing that Jiang Ning did not react in the slightest, the sound of the bird's call suddenly became a little faster.
"Why are you in a hurry?" Jiang Ning smiled helplessly, she held the wine glass, her expression was still clear.
And beside her, the faces of the Praetorian Guards were somewhat drunk.
Vice General Chen's eyes were misty, "This spring is here, and the birds can't hold back!" β
Such a big sentence ushered in a burst of laughter from the audience, Jiang Ning didn't think it was funny, but he still pursed his lips in response.
At the gate of the courtyard, Mu Jingzhao was upset by the two people in the house, and the sudden bird cry made him a little more irritable in his heart.
"Dead bird, stop screaming!" Mu Jingzhao cursed twice in a low voice, but the bird's cry not only did not stop, but became a little more urgent.
However, instead of doing what he had hoped, the bird was a little more hasty.
Mu Jingzhao was distraught, and casually threw it towards a piece of rubble and towards the source of the bird's call.
At the moment when the stone was thrown, Mu Jingzhao's face changed greatly, he However, it was too late.
The stones broke through the wind and flew towards the house at an alarming speed.
Lin Zheng's ears moved slightly, and he reached out to grab the sword at his waist, and at the moment when he was about to draw the sword, he suddenly realized that the moment he drew the sword, he might hurt Jiang Ning.
"Get down!" At the last moment, Lin Zheng shouted loudly.
Jiang Ning was stunned, and by the time she reacted, she had already been thrown to the ground by Lin Zheng.
Immediately after, there was the sharp sound of stones piercing the air, the rustling of the Praetorian Guards, and the crisp sound of cups and plates falling to the ground.
Fortunately, the stone flew directly over everyone's heads and flew straight towards the crack in the window behind Jiang Ning.
Zheliu heard the commotion in the house, and was about to say something, when she looked up and saw a stone flying straight towards her, when she was shocked, Lu Feng grabbed her head and held her in his arms.
The stone slammed against the door with a muffled thud and fell to the ground.
Zheliu raised her head and looked at Lu Feng in front of her with a pair of frightened eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then, the panic in her eyes was even worse.
"Not good! The emperor has made a move! Oriliu said, and hurriedly ran towards the main entrance.
And Mu Jingzhao, who accidentally caused trouble on the side, didn't have time to be annoyed, he looked at the messy scene in the house, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, she's fine."
But then, a more intense melancholy color appeared on his face.
"Concubine Ning doesn't know martial arts at all, and she can't dodge a stone that is so fast, so there is only one possibility, and that isββ"
Thinking so, he clenched his teeth continuously, and he couldn't bear to raise his legs and walk towards the courtyard.
"Your Majestyβ"
Zheliu's call sounded behind him, and Mu Jingzhao turned his head to look, only to see Zheliu clasping his knees with his hands, panting heavily.
Mu Jingzhao frowned slightly.
"What are you doing here?"
