Chapter 124: Escape from Huai Island
In the Taishou Mansion, Yan Xi was locked in his room by Zhao Shen, and he wanted to go out but was struggling with the guards outside the door. Tossing and turning alone in the house, at a loss, she was anxious, afraid that Ye Hua would be poisoned by Zhao Shen, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Zhao Shen would make an irreparable mistake, but because she was incapable, she had to sit in the room and wait for death.
She looked out the window at the night, and her heart had flown out of the window. It's a pity that she is on the second floor, and although there is no one outside the window, she can't go out by herself.
"My lord must have gone to find Ye Gongzi, I hope Gongzi is safe and sound. Yan Xi clasped her hands together and prayed.
"You let me find it easy!" Ye Hua's voice suddenly sounded in Yan Xi's ears, and his voice was soft, as if whispering in his ear.
Yan Xi was shocked in her heart, and there was still a trace of joy, she hurriedly turned around and found that Ye Hua was behind her, looking at her gently. Thinking that the other party must have heard her words just now, her face suddenly turned red, although she usually behaved in Zhao Shen's exercise, she was still in the water, she originally heard that Zhao Shen wanted her to seduce Ye Hua, and she was more repulsive at first, but she didn't know why she found that she was attracted to the other party since she saw Ye Hua, Ye Hua's handsome appearance, and the calmness that did not match her age, as well as the impenetrable eyes, all deeply attracted her.
"Are you really here?" Yan Xi almost screamed, but fortunately his mouth was covered by Ye Hua in time.
"What do you say, I asked you to inquire about things, and when I didn't see you come back, I knew that something must have happened to you. Ye Hua smiled and said, "It looks like I've come to the right place." ”
"How did you get out, didn't you get noticed by the adults, they should have been watching you all the time. Yan Xi looked at Ye Hua worriedly.
"Haha, with a little bit of subterfuge, they've lifted their surveillance of me. Then Ye Hua simply told Yan Xi how to deceive Zhao Shen, and then laughed: "They are now like ants on a honeycomb, looking for me everywhere." ”
"I felt some movement outside the wall, but I didn't expect you to run out. Yan Xi then remembered the torch he had just seen at the window. "But isn't it harder for you to get out of the city, they must have guarded the gates, how did you find here? ”
"This is simple, they set up a defense line to prevent me from escaping, I definitely didn't think that I would return to the Taishou Mansion to find you, and then how did I come over, fortunately, the Taishou Mansion is not big, and soon found this small building, and the guards downstairs also confirmed my judgment. Ye Hua said the process lightly, but Yan Xi knew that things were much more sinister than Ye Hua described.
"That Zhao Shen didn't do anything to you, right?" Ye Hua asked Yan Xi.
"Adults treat little women like daughters, he won't treat me badly, he just won't let me out. Yan Xi was very grateful to Ye Hua for his concern.
"It depends on the situation, you already know a lot from that Zhao Shen's mouth, otherwise he wouldn't have treated you like this. Ye Hua also relieved himself when he saw that Yan Xi was fine, Yan Xi was instigated by himself to spy on Zhao Shen, if something happened, he would also feel sorry for the other party.
It's a pity that the little girl didn't find out the purpose of the adult, she only knew that this time the incident was not aimed at Zhen Guogong, but just wanted to trap Zhen Guogong in Huai Island in order to complete their great cause. Yan Xi had a grateful expression.
"They lured my father to Huai Island and trapped him?" Yan Xi's words proved the conjecture of Ye Hua and the others before, "We have all thought about these before, but what is the purpose and what is the great cause." ”
Ye Hua fell into thought, he felt that the current intelligence should be able to roughly guess Zhao Shen's target, he analyzed it to himself: "My father was originally in charge of Tianliyuan, if they want to trap my father in Huai Island, then the empty can only be Tianliyuan, does Zhao Shen want to be unfavorable to Tianliyuan, this is also unreasonable, although Tianliyuan does not have a father to lead the army, but just with the 50,000 forbidden troops guarding the suburbs, it is enough to make any force dare not act rashly, how can Zhao Shen guarantee that he can succeed." ”
"Yan Xi, did Zhao Shen mention anyone else?" Ye Hua asked Yan Xi.
"The adults were very tight-mouthed, and he didn't say anything to me. Yan Xi struggled to recall, "But what he said was their great cause, I don't know if this refers to other people." ”
"It's also possible. "Ye Hua is now unwilling to let go of any clues.
"If Zhao Shen has a response in Tianliyuan, then you know who has the closest relationship between him and Tianliyuan. ”
"I don't usually ask about adults, but adults do have correspondence with Tianliyuan, and it seems to have become more frequent recently. ”
"It's not good, I estimate that Zhao Shen and Tianliyuan's internal and external cooperation will be detrimental to Tianliyuan. Ye Hua thought of a bad thing. "I heard Zhao Shen planning to leave in Juxian Tower just now, and it seemed that they were ready to go on the road. ”
Yan Xi also reminded himself when she heard Ye Hua's words, "The matter is urgent, the time is urgent, you can't waste time here." ”
Yan Xi urged Ye Hua: "You don't care about me, you go first." ”
"How's that going to work? Ye Hua shook his head, "I can't leave you behind." ”
"Since you're already mine, I can't put you in such a dangerous place. ”
"Yan Xi is here to thank Gongzi for his kindness. Yan Xi's heart warmed when she heard this, she didn't expect Ye Hua to worry about her comfort, she felt that standing in Ye Hua's position, it was normal to ignore her and abandon her.
"Adults won't do anything to me, I'm safe here, it's just that I don't have freedom, I'm a weak woman with no power to follow Ye Gongzi will only hinder Gongzi. ”
Seeing that Yan Xi's attitude insisted, Ye Hua had no choice but to give up. "Then you have to be careful yourself. ”
"Childe, the outside of the city should be guarded by guards, how are you going to get out of the city. Yan Xi saw that Ye Hua was leaving, and asked again.
"Adapt to the situation, then Zhao Shen will only think that I will go out of the city to find my father, but the guard at the west gate leading to the dock should not be too tight. Ye Hua pretended to be relaxed, but in fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
"Childe doesn't plan to go to Zhen Guogong?" Yan Xi didn't expect Ye Hua to have such a plan.
"The matter is urgent, it's too late to find my father, I just hope that if you can see them, tell them about me, and let them hurry back to Tianliyuan. After speaking, Ye Hua was ready to leave.
"Childe!" Yan Xi stopped Ye Hua, "You bring this, this is the token of the Taishou Mansion." ”
Yan Xi took out an iron token as he spoke, and handed it to Ye Hua.
"With this token, ordinary guards shouldn't be embarrassed. ”
Ye Hua took the token and saluted Yan Xi and said, "Thank you for it!"
"Let's go, that's all I can help here. ”
"Thanks, I'm leaving, you take care. With that, Ye Hua jumped out of the window while the night was dark.
"Bless, Ye Gongzi is safe and sound. Looking at Ye Hua's vigorous figure, Yan Xi stared out the window and began to pray again, this night was destined to be sleepless.
In the early morning of the next day, the guards of Xicheng had been guarding the gate of the city all night, looking at the slight light of the sky, and the guards who had not slept all night were snorting loudly and sleepy-eyed.
"Didn't you say that the rebels had retreated, why did you suddenly close the city gate again yesterday? One of the guards asked another who appeared to be an officer.
"Why do you care so much, you just guard your door. The officer also stayed awake all night and replied to the guard angrily.
Seeing that his boss was in a bad mood, the guards didn't dare to ask more, seeing that it was about to be time for their own change of guard, they just wanted to come quickly and change their posts and go home to sleep.
Although the west gate is also guarded by guards, it is not like the east gate and the north gate next to the forest, the gate is not closed, and in order not to arouse suspicion, it is still possible to enter and exit at will, but the guards will check the passers-by.
The sky was hazy, and there were not many people entering and leaving the West Gate at this time, and even the guards felt that if there were really rebel spies coming out of this gate, it would be really hell. It was early in the morning, and there was no one else to check, and the officers of the guard were almost asleep in their seats. A figure was found in the haze, facing the morning glow, from the city to the direction of the west gate.
"Who is it!" the officer's drowsiness suddenly disappeared, and he and the other soldiers gathered around. They stepped forward to find that each other did not show their true faces, and they were dressed in black clothes, and their heads were covered with hats.
"Who are you!" the officer walked up to the man in black and questioned him. "Take your hood off!"
The man didn't speak, just thought the officer handed over a token. When the officer saw the token, his expression suddenly changed.
"Don't alarm others!" After the man in black saw the officer's reaction, he whispered in the officer's ear: "Taishou Mansion, there are secret things to do, this is the token given by Lord Zhao himself." ”
Of course, the officer recognized the token, otherwise he would not panic, he knew that this kind of token was only available to Lord Zhao of the Taishou Mansion, and seeing the token was like seeing the Taishou.
"My lord, are you going out so early?" the officer asked tentatively.
But the man in black didn't pay attention to him, and just said softly: "You dare to ask about the secret ordered by Lord Zhao?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The officer was frightened back by the other party's non-angry and arrogant tone, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers behind him to make way for the man in black to jump out of the way.
The man in black passed through the west gate and walked out of the gate of Huaicheng in full view of everyone.
Looking at Huaicheng behind him, Ye Hua's heart was full of gratitude to Yan Xi, he and Yan Xi did not leave the city immediately after they separated, but waited until everyone was the most sleepy and the most relaxed time to go out of the city. Sure enough, as he thought, things went very smoothly, and finally used the token given by Yan Xi to get out of the gate of Huaicheng.
However, Ye Hua came to the dock and found that there were also guards guarding here, Ye Hua also used the token given by Yan Xi, or got on the spirit boat leading to Tianliyuan under the guard's eyelids, looking at Huai Island behind him, Ye Hua felt deeply, he only stayed here for a day, but so many things happened, and finally his father didn't see it and hurried back to Tianliyuan, Ye Hua also sighed in his heart.
