Chapter 251 I am not as good as a teenager
At night, the mist is heavy.

There was no sound at the moment, only the sound of the wind passing by my ears.

Led by the palace servant holding the lamp, He Jin passed through the thick palace wall and entered the forbidden area.

He was very familiar with the roads in the palace. Coming here, he felt as relaxed as returning to his own home. Since Jian Shuo was in his hands, he had always looked down on eunuchs and had no guard at all.

Can the eunuchs cause more chaos?
As he thought about it, a scornful smile appeared on He Jin's lips.

suddenly
The palace servant in front of him stopped, and He Jin accidentally almost bumped into the man's back. He was furious.

"Why are you standing still?!"

However, the palace servants came out with a dull sound
"General, we're here."

"arrive?"

This nonsensical remark puzzled He Jin. According to common sense, shouldn't they still be some distance away from the palace where Empress He lived? What was the meaning of stopping here?

"Are you trying to harm me?" He Jin said disdainfully.

Who would have thought that his words would come true?

Just after He Jin finished speaking, he sensed something was wrong. The quiet atmosphere was broken by the sound of approaching footsteps. He saw flashes of fire lighting up in the darkness. The eunuchs who had been lying in ambush for a long time tore off their disguises and walked towards them with a sneer. They all drew out their long swords, which shone with a cold and eerie light.

The sheer number of them makes one's scalp tingle.

The palace servant holding the lamp quickly distanced himself and sneered at He Jin.

"General, have a safe journey."

It was as if firecrackers exploded in his mind. He Jin stumbled back several steps, his face turning pale. Now he understood, he understood everything.

That damn eunuch really wants to harm me!

My life is over!

Even if I die, I will take a few people with me!

He Jin gritted his teeth and was about to draw his sword when he heard a commotion.

This was followed by several shrill howls.

What exactly happened?

He Jin looked in the direction of the sound and saw the eunuchs drawing their swords and pointing them at each other. The sound of swords clashing was endless.

Is this an internal fight?

God will not abandon me!
He Jin wanted to laugh, but the crisis was obviously not over at the moment. He drew out his sword swiftly and retreated while fighting. He wanted to retreat to the palace gate so that he could escape.

Unfortunately it backfired.

The eunuchs seemed determined to kill He Jin. The commotion just now was just a small episode. The "eunuchs" who defected were killed one by one.

The situation once again turned in a direction unfavorable to He Jin.

The eunuchs' offensive became more and more fierce, one wave after another, like a surging tide. He Jin had to face the attacks of three or four eunuchs at the same time. Often, when he blocked one sword, the other two would already be coming. He kicked out a fierce kick, knocking one of the eunuchs away, and had to take the subsequent sword blow hard. Soon, he had several more wounds on his body, and blood gushed out. The pain made his face hideous, his forehead was covered with sweat, his breathing became much faster, and even the swinging of the sword became disorderly.

Just when he was about to fall.

A strange voice filled my ears
"Don't panic, General. Captain Wu Ban has entrusted us to help you!"

After hearing this, He Jin realized the current situation. He didn't know when the people surrounding him were already these rebellious "eunuchs".

He was touched and thanked him quickly: "Thank you, warrior!"

"No need to thank me, Eleven, quickly take the general and run away!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, He Jin saw a sharp blade piercing his chest.

Seeing such a scene happening before his eyes, even He Jin couldn't help but be moved.

"General, follow me!"

A childish voice sounded in his ears, and He Jin felt someone grabbing his arm. He raised his head, and in the dim firelight, he saw the same childish face.

He Jin was not someone who didn't know the importance of priorities. He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay!"

"General, please follow me. We can't leave Weixing Gate, so we can only leave towards Jiulong Gate!"

Jiulongmen is the palace gate leading from the Taige District to the Queen Mother's Jiade Hall. So, they are Queen Dong's people?

I was saved by Queen Dong?!
Without time to think, He Jin immediately followed Eleven's footsteps and retreated towards the Nine Dragon Gate. Even if there were pursuers along the way, fortunately another group of people would jump out of the dark to help him.

He Jin couldn't help but ask

"Why did the hero save me?"

Eleven replied, "We have been helpless and alone since childhood, and we have all received the kindness of General Wu Ban and the help of Mr. Xu Wenxiu. They all said it was the kindness of the general."

"The general is from a humble background, and he knows how hard it is for me to wait."

"The general has good intentions, but there are traitors in the court who are preventing the general from issuing good orders."

"So General Wu said that the general was in trouble, so we pretended to be palace servants and came to help."

He Jin remained silent and did not say another word along the way. He arrived at the Nine Dragon Gate safely, and the palace servants who had been waiting for a long time opened the palace gate.

He Jin could vaguely see the landmark building of the pavilion, the audience platform, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. He just exhaled and invited Eleven beside him.

"Good man, follow me out of the palace, and I will reward you handsomely!"

However, the pursuers held torches high and chased after them aggressively.

They roared: "What kind of person is this guy in front of the door?"

Eleventh pushed He Jin out of the palace
"General, go ahead and I will cover your retreat."

The palace gate slammed shut, as if locking everything inside the palace. Not even a sound could be heard from behind the wall.

There was only the sound of hurried footsteps.

"General?"

A familiar voice sounded in my ears.

The dim firelight illuminated the floor tiles in front of me.

He Jin looked up and saw that the person coming was a civil official wearing court robes.

"Xu Shangshu"

He Jin revealed the man's name, which was Xu Jing Xu Wenxiu.

During the escape, the man revealed to He Jin that he was entrusted by Xu Jing and Wu Ban.

In other words, Xu Jing is trustworthy.

He Jin squeezed out a dry voice from his throat.
"What about Benchu ​​and the others?"

Xu Jing and his attendants looked at each other, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.

"This"

"General, why don't you go down and take a rest first, bandage your wounds, and we'll talk about it tomorrow, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

He Jin saw the difficulty on Xu Jing's face. He controlled his emotions and tried to make his tone as gentle as possible, but it was obviously not effective. Even the servants behind Xu Jing could hear the irritation in his voice.

"Say!"

"Ugh"

Seeing this, Xu Jing sighed helplessly, "Yuan Benchu ​​has been waiting at Weixing Gate for a long time."

Wait. Long time
Are you expecting me to die?
He Jin gritted his teeth. Combined with the help of the unknown former hero, he rarely felt angry towards Yuan Shao and others. But at the same time, he felt a little relieved. What if Xu Wenxiu was fooled?

Seeing is believing, seeing is believing. I treat Benchu ​​like this, how could Benchu ​​betray me?
"What about that class?" He Jin asked in a dry voice.

Xu Jing clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to the general, General Wu is afraid that his troops will hear rumors from others and mistakenly believe that you are dead, and then they will be too sad and hurt the people around them by mistake."

"People."

He Jin felt bad. He laughed dryly and lowered his head dejectedly.

"I am not as good as a young boy."
