Chapter 133 Breaking the city.escape.Keep the big and the young?
Late at night, on the city wall.
Lu Li looked solemnly at the armored soldiers who were constantly attacking and being forced back by boulders and arrows.
Su Yi obviously came prepared for this siege.
Ladders, trebuchets, siege towers, ramming cars... and armored soldiers who become more and more courageous.
If there is no accident, tonight should be the last battle of this confrontation.
After two or three months of preparation and testing, both sides have accumulated enough strength, and at the same time, they are both tired of such a long consumption.
Success or failure, here is a battle!
Lu Li turned around and asked Grand Sima Ning Yuan beside him, "What do you think of the old thief's team?"
Ning Yuan twisted his beard and smiled: "The emperor knows what he knows, so why come to test me again?"
Lu Li supported the city wall with his hands, and said with a smile, "Sima has been in the battlefield for a long time, so he has more knowledge than me after all."
Ning Yuan was not humble, and smiled calmly: "The old bandits are strong and strong, but we are not defenseless. After these months of tempering, our city walls are already solid, and I am afraid that it is not possible for a small armored army to rush in."
"Big Sima, don't underestimate the enemy!" Lu Li half-jokingly said.
Ning Yuan smiled and said: "The old thief has been on the battlefield for decades, and he was our number one general in South Vietnam. Naturally, I dare not underestimate the enemy."
Lu Li understood the meaning of his smile.
Time has dragged on until now, and people in the city have long been panicked, so why is it not the end of the battle outside the city?Looking at the offensive of the Iron Armored Army, one can tell that they are desperate.
Desperate who wouldn't?It's nothing more than the eight words "succession, death rather than retreat".
With this spelling, even if the rebels were lucky enough to break into the city, they must be exhausted.
But in the city, there are still elite Jinjiawei soldiers who are unparalleled in strength and can be used against hundreds.
The game of "close the door and beat the dog" is actually quite exciting, isn't it?
Outside the city, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Both the offensive and defensive sides became more courageous as they fought more and more. They were tense and tried their best, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
The arrows covered the stars and the moon like locusts, and the bloody smell permeated the air, making people sick.
Lu Li walked on the city wall, watching the soldiers methodically throwing thunderbolt fireballs and manipulating the bed crossbow to repel the attacking bandits time and time again, his heart gradually settled down.
If there is no accident, this city wall can be defended.
As long as we get through tonight, the dark clouds that have shrouded the capital for several months will dissipate, and the courtiers and common people can also breathe a sigh of relief.
The peaceful and prosperous world he promised to someone is just around the corner.
Lu Li raised the corners of his lips slightly, and looked back into the city, only to see that Xiao Luzi was arguing with two young eunuchs, which seemed to be a serious argument.
Seeing that nothing would happen on the city wall for a while, Lu Li called someone to call Xiao Luzi up: "Who are those two down there? Why are you arguing with them?"
Xiaoluzi hesitated, as if hesitating whether to speak or not.
Lu Li's face darkened: "Is there anything you need to hide from me?"
Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Some chores in the palace are not too urgent, it will not be too late to talk about them after the battle..."
Lu Li's heart suddenly jumped, and he had a bad premonition.
He stared at Xiaoluzi and shouted sharply: "Say!"
Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Those two people, one is from Yongfu Palace. They said that after dinner, they suddenly found that there were a few young eunuchs missing in the palace. Concubine Xian asked people to go to each palace to ask, and found that every eunuch was missing. There are more or less people missing everywhere..."
Lu Li's expression changed slightly: "You actually plan to delay telling me about such a big matter until tomorrow morning? Hurry up and order the Golden Armored Guards to inspect and watch out for changes in the palace!"
Xiao Luzi hurriedly agreed and was about to retreat immediately.
Lu Li stopped him again: "What about the other thing?"
Xiao Luzi hesitated: "The later person is from the Palace of Youth. He said that the empress is about to give birth!"
After thinking about it, he finally didn't say the other half of the sentence.
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, but he didn't seem to have recovered.
Xiaoluzi called out tentatively: "Your Majesty?"
Lu Li immediately raised his hand and grabbed his shoulder: "How...how is it now? Didn't it mean that it's still early? Has the imperial doctor passed by? Have the midwife and nurse made arrangements..."
Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial physicians are here, and the midwife is also here - Your Majesty has always been in good health, there will be no problems!"
Lu Li collected himself, and said in a hoarse voice, "Order the golden armored guards to guard Fanghua Palace. No matter what happens, Fanghua Palace must be safe and sound!"
Xiaoluzi hurriedly agreed, and ran down quickly.
Lu Li supported the city wall and watched the path go far away, his heart was in a mess.
"Mr. Lu!" Someone shouted on the city wall, which immediately caused a crowd of exclamations.
Lu Li hurriedly turned around, and when he looked down, he saw hundreds of armored soldiers rushing towards a tall Lu Gongcar.
The soldiers in the car were wearing iron armor, holding long knives, bows and arrows, and were looking down at the city wall from a high position, looking like a tiger descending the mountain.
The bow and arrow shot down from Mr. Lu's car, because of the short distance and the force of the falling force, is naturally different from the soft and light arrows under the city.
What's more serious, the guards quickly discovered that the arrows shot from above were poisonous.
There was a moment of confusion among the guards.
Lu Li pushed away a soldier who fell from the arrow, rushed to the trebuchet, and pulled the rope first, "What are you afraid of? They come to die, let's help them!"
The soldiers summoned up their courage again, roared in unison, pulled the horizontal tip of the catapult with all their strength, and threw a large stone weighing hundreds of catties.
The biggest weakness of Lü Gong's car is its "bulkyness".
After taking this hard blow, several pieces of the fender on the car were broken, and several archers in the car fell down.
The city guards gained a bit of confidence, and before Lu Li could order them, they placed the huge boulder on their own, and struck out again.
Seeing this, Lu Li felt relieved.
The so-called Lu public car is just something to scare people.If you can't run fast, you will basically only get beaten.
Of course, the poisoned arrows and siege warriors on the car are still somewhat useful.
But the city guards are not vegetarians, even if these hundreds of people can rush up the city wall, they cannot escape the fate of being killed.
The city gate should be opened from the inside and the outside?nonexistent!
At the gate of the city, the ramming car was still crashing persistently.
The guards kept shouting, and Ning Yuan gradually frowned: "It seems to be knocked away!"
Lu Li walked over quickly: "Is our saber cart ready?"
"Don't worry, the emperor, I've been waiting!" Ning Yuan clenched his fists and smiled confidently.
***
Youth Palace.
The maids and women were in a mess, the midwife was busy inside, and the imperial doctor was watching by, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was breathless.
The veil in Su Qingyuan's mouth had already been bitten off, her face was wet as if water had been splashed on her, and it took all her strength to endure the severe pain, even the blood on her lips faded.
The midwife yelled anxiously at the side: "Don't just endure the pain, you have to work hard! Save some strength and use it down!"
Su Qingyuan stared at the door with wide eyes, but remained silent.
No one knew whether she understood the midwife's words, and no one dared to ask at this time.
Most of the little girls who were waiting around were frightened, so they had to call a few experienced nuns from the East side hall to help, and the rest were only accompanied by Luoxia and Danyue.
Luoxia looked at Su Qingyuan's eyes eagerly looking towards the door, and felt scared in her heart.
Of course she knew who Su Qingyuan was waiting for, but...
That person won't be here tonight.
"Your Majesty, I've sent someone to invite you. First, give birth to the child with peace of mind. See him in peace. Ask and express your anger in person, okay?" Luoxia was already begging.
Su Qingyuan closed her eyes, only panted heavily, and did not speak.
At this time, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the window, and someone sternly asked, "Who told you to break in!"
Su Qingyuan immediately opened her eyes again.
Luoxia hurriedly ran out to have a look, and came back to persuade: "It's the Jinjiawei, so don't worry about it, empress."
Sure enough, someone outside quickly said: "Jin Jiawei is ordered to protect the safety of Fanghua Palace, and the idlers are not allowed to come in and out!"
"Jinjiawei? What are they going to do?" Su Qingyuan finally spoke.
Luoxia hurriedly said: "The Golden Armored Guard is here to protect us by the emperor's order!"
"Is it protection—or imprisonment? He's going to kill me, isn't he?" Su Qingyuan's eyes widened, her hands tightly clutching the corner of the quilt, and she kept shaking her head.
The midwife thought she had heard some terrible conspiracy, and her legs gave way in fright, and she fell to the ground.
"You asked Lu Li to come to see me! Even if I die, I will die knowingly!" Su Qingyuan screamed at Luoxia with straight neck.
Luoxia was so anxious that she burst into tears: "Who wants to kill you? I've said it hundreds of times, the emperor just has to come here, why don't you believe it..."
"Sister Luoxia, Sister Luoxia!" A little maid's scream suddenly sounded outside.
Luoxia hurriedly ran out again.
Su Qingyuan stared at the door with wide eyes, but did not wait for Luoxia to come back for a long time.
Danyue couldn't help but follow her out to take a look, and ran back with a pale face: "Outside... there's a fight outside! Jin Jiawei and some eunuchs..."
Su Qingyuan's eyes went dark for a while, and she couldn't hear what she was saying behind her.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xia stumbled back and ran back: "My lady, don't worry, there is nothing serious outside—you just need to be at ease."
She said it was "no big deal", but there was a smell of blood coming from her body.
Even, the sound of shouts and the impact of weapons can already be heard outside.
"Still lying to me..." Su Qingyuan tugged at the corners of her pale lips.
Outside the window, another eunuch shouted: "The guards can't hold on anymore, the city gate has been breached!"
Immediately afterwards, another person shouted: "The rebels have broken into the palace!"
"It's fighting? Is the city being attacked outside? Where is Lu Li?" Su Qingyuan struggled to sit up.
"My ancestor! Can you give birth to your child with peace of mind?" Luoxia was anxious and frightened, wishing to pass out and nothing to do with herself.
When the nuns heard that the rebels had broken into the palace, they all fainted from fright.
The midwife, who was supposed to be the backbone on this occasion, was the most timid. After being frightened one after another, she sat at the foot of the bed, trembling, unable to stand up.
Su Qingyuan was confused, and pushed away the little maid's hand, struggling to stand up.
The whole room was so frightened that no one could make up their minds.
Fortunately, Su Qingyuan still couldn't get up, and a severe pain left her on the bed.
The midwife looked up and saw that the mattress was wet, she finally woke up, she knelt and climbed to the edge of the bed, gritted her teeth and shouted: "Press her back! Teach her to push hard! If you delay, you will lose two lives. What else do you care about?" Those who fight do not fight!"
***
city wall.
The moment the city gate was knocked open, the saber carts blocked the gate and continued to keep the rebels out of the city.
At this time, both sides were exhausted, their offense and defense had lost their previous vigor, and they were all relying on perseverance to hold on.
Armored soldiers swarmed towards the door, and the guards gritted their teeth, desperately resisting.
This situation was still within Lu Li's expectations.
He firmly believed that his guards could keep the rebels out of the city walls, even though the city was littered with dead bodies at this time.
The accident happened at this time.
The sound of horseshoes shattered the peace in the city, and a soldier in gold armor rushed over in panic: "Report—"
Lu Li's expression changed drastically.
Jin Jiawei was supposed to be guarding Miyagi, could it be that something changed in the palace?
The soldier got off his horse and urgently reported: "There are a large number of rebels in the palace, and they are burning and killing. All the soldiers are meeting the enemy!"
Ning Yuan asked sharply: "How is it possible? The city gate was not broken, how could the rebels enter the palace?"
Duan Ran, who was helping at the gate of the city, rushed up immediately after hearing the sound: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the tunnel?"
Lu Li's face turned pale: "Impossible! Even if the old thief can find the exit in Xiangquan Mountain, even if he can blow up the exit and force his way in... But there are criss-crossed secret passages inside, how could he find the correct entrance!"
Duan Ran turned to look at the golden armored soldier: "Where did the bandits appear?"
The soldier stared and said, "Yuxiu Palace and Yanxi Palace seem to appear at the same time!"
Duan Ran's brows were tightened: "This is very wrong! We have obviously blocked the correct entrance, even if the old thief is a real rat, it will take months to find the entrance in that kind of place, there is no reason for it to be so fast! unless……"
"Unless there is an inner ghost!" Ning Yuan immediately answered.
Lu Li shook his head: "The only ones who know the tunnel well are Zhen and Duan Ran. Where did the ghost come from!"
Ning Yuan looked at Duan Ran, who immediately raised his hands: "It's really not me!"
"Of course I know it's not you," Lu Li gritted his teeth, "Now is not the time for us to catch the ghost! Duan Ran, you immediately bring a team of elites back to the palace, and make sure to bring A Yuan and Jun Er out!"
"What about the other people?" Duan Ran asked subconsciously.
Lu Li turned around: "The two of them are what the old thief wants to catch the most, so no matter what, we can't let them fall into the hands of the old thief! As for the others - I can't care about them!"
Duan Ran ran down the city wall without saying a word.
Lu Li turned around and watched the fight outside the city, unable to calm down anymore.
Seeing his distraught appearance, Ning Yuan felt very anxious, and hurriedly persuaded him: "The Queen Mother has always been very sensible, and King Ding'an is also young and mature, so they will definitely not be coerced by the old thief..."
Lu Li walked quickly to the top of the city, obviously not wanting to hear his nonsense.
He was at the top of the city, but his heart had already flown back to the palace.
Bandit soldiers have already broken into the palace, so what's the point of defending the city here?
As long as the thieves in the palace capture A Yuan and Jun'er alive, and then occupy the Chaogan Hall, the old thief will not be allowed to do whatever he wants in this world!
Lu Li really wanted to leave this matter behind and rush back to the palace immediately.But the battle on the city wall was intense, and it was impossible to spare people to come back to the palace to rescue.
He underestimated the tricks of the old thief, and fell into the trick of "striking from the east to the west"!
Ning Yuan still followed: "The situation is like this, it's useless to think too much. Mr. Duan is very wise, and he will be able to take care of the Queen Mother and King Ding'an Zhouquan. We can only guard the city gate. At that time...even if the old thief occupies the palace city , we may not have a chance to turn around!"
Lu Li nodded and clenched his fists.
Gongli... can only hope that Duan Ran is lucky enough.
***
Youth Palace.
The golden armored guards guarded the gate of the palace, confronting the menacing rebels.
The swords clashed like the sound of hell.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and corpses were everywhere.
In the palace, in the bedroom.Hot water was sent in bucket by bucket, and when it was replaced again, it turned into a bright red and dazzling color.
The doctor has also gone in.It seems that more than two hours have passed, but there is still no exciting news coming out.
Lu Junnuo was lying on the soft couch in the outer hall, hugging Nanny Zhu's arm, and shed tears: "Mama, are those people outside here to arrest us? Why doesn't the queen mother want to see me? Is she injured? "
Nanny Zhu didn't know how to comfort him, so she had to repeatedly persuade him to sleep peacefully.
Although Lu Junnuo was young, he was not stupid. How could he sleep at such a critical moment?
When another bucket of blood was sent out, Nanny Zhu couldn't help but stood up, and stopped the pale little palace maid: "What...is it inside?"
The little maid shook her head, unable to say anything.
At this time, there was loud footsteps in the courtyard, and a group of people rushed in hurriedly.
Danyue held the door latch to welcome him out, and when he saw someone coming, he was stunned for a moment: "Duan Ran, what are you doing here?"
Duan Ran snapped his fingers and grinned: "Of course I am here to be a hero to save the beauty! Fanghua Palace has been surrounded by traitors, you don't know it? If I don't come tonight, don't you want to come?" Catch him without a fight?"
"Master!" Lu Junnuo jumped up and crashed into Duan Ran's arms.
Duan Ran picked him up casually: "Yo, you've been waiting here for a long time! Where's your beautiful queen? Call her out and come with me!"
Lu Junnuo cried "Wow—" and said, "The queen mother is inside, please save her, master..."
"What's wrong?" Duan Ran ran inside.
Nanny Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Mr. Duan, stop! When a woman gives birth, it is taboo for outsiders to be present!"
"Give... a baby?" Duan Ran was stunned.
Madam Zhu sighed with a bitter face.
During this time, the sound of sword clashes outside has not stopped.
Duan Ran was in a hurry: "What time is it, she still cares about having a baby! It's important to escape, let her hold back!"
Nanny Zhu was about to cry: "It's because you refused to live well that you broke into the gate of hell, and you still want to say such things!"
"It's not...very serious?" Duan Ran finally panicked.
Luoxia heard the movement, and rushed out from inside: "Young Master Duan, did the emperor call you here? Now that the empress is having a difficult delivery, and bandits from outside will rush in at any time, we... what should we do?"
Luoxia has always been calm and calm, but now she is panicked and at a loss.
Outside, the rebels are still coming here one after another.
Duan Ran gritted her teeth: "We can't sit still, let's go into the tunnel immediately!"
He thought to himself: Although the tunnel is no longer safe, at least it should be more reliable than rushing out, right?
Luoxia had long since lost her mind, and immediately rushed into the inner hall upon hearing this, and said as Duan Ran suggested.
Danyue immediately jumped up: "But my mother is afraid of the dark, she might get sick if she enters the tunnel!"
"Go... go in!" Su Qingyuan, who was already on the verge of death, suddenly opened her eyes.
At that moment, no one raised any objections. The palace servants and the guards brought by Duan Ran hurriedly opened the entrance of the tunnel. The midwives and nuns first carried Su Qingyuan in, and then the imperial physician and palace maids carried Su Qingyuan in. , Zhu Mama hugged Lu Junnuo, and finally everyone from Fanghua Palace walked in.
Duan Ran asked someone to close the tunnel entrance.
Although the glazed lamp was quickly lit, the oppressive atmosphere in the tunnel inevitably surrounded everyone.
Others were okay, but Su Qingyuan couldn't bear it immediately.
She covered her eyes tightly and began to tremble uncontrollably.
The imperial physician and midwife surrounded her, trying their best to comfort her, but it was of no avail.
Danyue grabbed Su Qingyuan's hand and said anxiously to everyone: "We must quickly find a place with light, the empress can't stand it here!"
Duan Ran gritted her teeth: "It's really not suitable to stay in the tunnel for a long time! We must go out as soon as possible and hide outside the palace! Doctor Yu, two lives are in your hands, you must hold on!"
Imperial Physician Yu had a bitter look on his face, and he dared not answer for a long time.
Everyone hung their hearts and walked in the winding tunnel.Except for Duan Ran, no one knows which direction the way out is.
"Physician Yu, would it be dangerous to move your mother at this time?" Danyue asked in a crying voice.
Imperial Physician Yu shook his head, not daring to say "yes", let alone "no".
"Lu Li..." Su Qingyuan suddenly called out.
Duan Ran hurriedly rushed in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "Lu Li is fine! Hold on tight, we'll see him after dawn!"
"Lu Li!" Su Qingyuan firmly grabbed Duan Ran's sleeve.
Duan Ran frowned: "Confused?"
Su Qingyuan struggled out of the midwife's arms, screaming: "Why did you kill me! You want me to die, so just use the knife, why do you make me suffer so much... Isn't it enough for you to torture me!"
"Is it like this when she is sick?" Duan Ran turned to ask Luoxia.
Luoxia hesitated and shook her head.
Su Qingyuan still refused to let go: "Lu Li, I regret it... I don't take this child away, you ask the imperial doctor to cut open my stomach and take it out, it will be too late! I have already seen red eyes and green eyes. The ghost of the hair, they came to catch me..."
Duan Ran shuddered, subconsciously raised his head and looked around.
Several timid court ladies screamed in fright, Lu Junnuo curled up in Zhu Nanny's arms and cried.
Duan Ran woke up, gritted his teeth and said, "This woman is really crazy! Doctor Yu, can you think of a way to make her fall asleep first?"
He remembered that Lu Li had ordered a long time ago that if he had to go through the tunnel, he could knock her out first.
Regrettably, Imperial Physician Yu shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty must stay awake, otherwise the child will not be able to exert himself when he comes out, I'm afraid..."
"But she's not sober now!" Duan Ran was going crazy with anger.
Imperial Physician Yu was speechless, but still refused to take the risk.
An imperial physician who followed suddenly asked: "Mr. Duan came here by order, did the emperor say to protect the elder and the younger?"
Duan Ran was stunned, and jumped up: "You asked 'protect the big and protect the young'? You dare to put one to death and try! Exterminating your nine clans is not enough for the emperor to vent his anger!"
The imperial physician didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he couldn't think of any way to solve the current predicament.
So along the way, Su Qingyuan kept making noises, Lu Junnuo often cried, and a few timid maids uttered exclamations from time to time—it was really messy, even more chaotic than the fleeing common people.
After walking like this for an unknown amount of time, Su Qingyuan made noises and cried for a while, and finally her voice gradually lowered.
Duan Ran thought she was noisy before, but now he is afraid that she will stop making noise.
It is a matter of human life, who can not panic?
The guards walked all the way, changing the entrances and exits of the tunnel, for fear of being spotted by the bandits.
Coupled with the deep tunnel and many fork roads, although the group tried their best to speed up, it was still too slow in the eyes of the imperial physicians.
Stepping on the door of hell, how can time be wasted like this!
Imperial Physician Yu wanted to tell the team to stop several times, but finally swallowed the words back.
Seeing Su Qingyuan babbling wildly, he didn't dare to take the risk.
After walking for about an hour, Duan Ran calculated that the nearest exit was not far away, and his heart finally cheered up a bit.
However, this excitement quickly turned into panic.
There is light ahead!
It is light that moves.
When the exit is not open, even if there is light, it must be a weak, still ray of sky light, it can never be such a bright fire!
someone!
The guards were all on alert.
Duan Ran led the crowd back a few steps, hid in a side road, lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid he belongs to the old thief!"
Luoxia was in a hurry: "Then what should I do? Change to another exit?"
Duan Ran smiled wryly and shook his head: "It takes at least one or two hours to go to another exit, not to mention... since the old thief is guarding here, there may be people at the other exits! Our tunnel has been leaked, and it is already in the hands of the old thief Already!"
"Young master, rush out!" A guard clenched the knife in his hand and gritted his teeth.
Duan Ran wanted to say that the safest option was to hide in the tunnel.
But seeing Su Qingyuan curled up in a ball and shivering, he swallowed the words again, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on!"
Everyone made some arrangements, surrounded Su Qingyuan and Lu Junnuo, and walked out slowly.
The person on the opposite side had already noticed the light on this side just now, and was chasing here.
After meeting them head-on, both sides could see that there were quite a number of people on the other side, and each was a little hesitant.
Duan Ran gritted his teeth: "Let's go into the fork, cut off the way, and turn it out!"
So after walking forward for a while, they turned into another fork.
After passing by, the guard quickly put down the boulder and blocked the way.
Everyone continued to move forward and continue to cast doubts, and they didn't know how much time they could buy.
However, no matter which road you choose, there is only one nearest exit, which cannot be avoided.
There must be someone guarding the exit.
Calculating the time, the sky is probably about to dawn.
Everyone gathered their courage and returned to the road leading directly to the exit.
There is still a lot of fire in front.
There was another fire chasing after him, and there was no way out.
Duan Ran gritted his teeth: "Get out!"
All the guards raised their long knives in unison, surrounded Su Qingyuan, Lu Junnuo and a group of court ladies and eunuchs, and walked over firmly against the fire in front of them.
close, close...
The faces reddened by the flames can already be seen clearly, and the excited smiles on those faces are getting closer.
Sure enough, he was a soldier of the Iron Armored Army.
Everyone clearly heard someone laughing: "The prey is delivered to the door by itself, we have a lot of credit for this!"
Laughter broke into the tunnel and echoed continuously, shaking people's hearts.
"Ghost, it's a ghost..." Su Qingyuan curled up in the midwife's arms, her voice was almost inaudible.
As the distance got closer and closer, someone in the opposing team shouted: "Isn't it our fourth lady who came here? Is King Ding'an here? You two don't have to die, and the rest of you can save your life!"
Duan Ran pulled out the sword at his waist and laughed loudly: "Where did this toad come from screaming there? If you want your grandpas' lives, come and kowtow first!"
The armored soldier responded with a wild laugh.The two sides gradually approached, and the distance between them was no more than three or five zhang.
At this moment, a huge fireball suddenly sprang out from a fork next to it, screaming "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
This suddenly turned into an accident, and neither side expected it.
The flames spread everywhere, and the armored soldiers immediately went into chaos.
Duan Ran made a decisive decision: "Rush out!"
The group didn't have time to think about it, Qi Qi speeded up and rushed forward surrounded by guards.
Fighting hand to hand, the armored soldiers had to put out the fire, chase the fireball, and deal with Duan Ran and the guards' desperate charge, so they were in a hurry.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the guards finally rushed out.
Even the eunuchs and maids, everyone used whisks, lanterns and teeth, and fought with the armored soldiers in a chaotic mess.
Finally saw the sky.
Most of the guards and eunuchs on the periphery of the team were lost, and the casualties were heavy.
——But there is still a large group of armored soldiers guarding outside, the number may not be less than a thousand.
They were full of energy, bowed their bows and set arrows, facing the group of people who rushed out by luck.
"My life is over!" Duan Ran smiled wryly, and looked back at Su Qingyuan who was in the midwife's arms.
"Mother..." Lu Junnuo grabbed Su Qingyuan's sleeve and cried.
Su Qingyuan raised her head, her eyes widened: "Where is the ghost? The ghost ran away?"
"It's still there!" Duan Ran pointed to those armored soldiers with bows and arrows.
Among the armored soldiers, the leader put down his bow and arrow, and cupped his hands: "Miss Si, King Ding'an, do you two want to live, or die with them?"
Su Qingyuan was stunned for a while, and suddenly struggled violently in the midwife's arms: "You die if you want to die, why bother to take me!"
"Woman, don't go crazy!" Duan Ran became anxious.
Su Qingyuan ignored him.
The midwife put her on the ground, and Su Qingyuan had no strength to stand up at all, so she could only lie half-lying in embarrassment, staring at the bow and arrow opposite her with wide eyes.
At this moment, almost all the clothes on the group of people had turned dark red—the bright flowers blooming on the sleeves were blood.
Su Qingyuan's body was more bloody than others.
In addition to the traces of killing, there were also marks of life—the ill-fated little guy was still stirring in her belly, and her underwear was almost soaked in blood.
Also stained with blood, apart from the clothes, there was also the weird bracelet on her wrist.
Su Qingyuan slowly raised her wrist, and smiled palely at the armored soldier opposite: "I'm about to give birth, so I can't move around. If you don't want me to die, come and help me!"
(End of this chapter)
Late at night, on the city wall.
Lu Li looked solemnly at the armored soldiers who were constantly attacking and being forced back by boulders and arrows.
Su Yi obviously came prepared for this siege.
Ladders, trebuchets, siege towers, ramming cars... and armored soldiers who become more and more courageous.
If there is no accident, tonight should be the last battle of this confrontation.
After two or three months of preparation and testing, both sides have accumulated enough strength, and at the same time, they are both tired of such a long consumption.
Success or failure, here is a battle!
Lu Li turned around and asked Grand Sima Ning Yuan beside him, "What do you think of the old thief's team?"
Ning Yuan twisted his beard and smiled: "The emperor knows what he knows, so why come to test me again?"
Lu Li supported the city wall with his hands, and said with a smile, "Sima has been in the battlefield for a long time, so he has more knowledge than me after all."
Ning Yuan was not humble, and smiled calmly: "The old bandits are strong and strong, but we are not defenseless. After these months of tempering, our city walls are already solid, and I am afraid that it is not possible for a small armored army to rush in."
"Big Sima, don't underestimate the enemy!" Lu Li half-jokingly said.
Ning Yuan smiled and said: "The old thief has been on the battlefield for decades, and he was our number one general in South Vietnam. Naturally, I dare not underestimate the enemy."
Lu Li understood the meaning of his smile.
Time has dragged on until now, and people in the city have long been panicked, so why is it not the end of the battle outside the city?Looking at the offensive of the Iron Armored Army, one can tell that they are desperate.
Desperate who wouldn't?It's nothing more than the eight words "succession, death rather than retreat".
With this spelling, even if the rebels were lucky enough to break into the city, they must be exhausted.
But in the city, there are still elite Jinjiawei soldiers who are unparalleled in strength and can be used against hundreds.
The game of "close the door and beat the dog" is actually quite exciting, isn't it?
Outside the city, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Both the offensive and defensive sides became more courageous as they fought more and more. They were tense and tried their best, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
The arrows covered the stars and the moon like locusts, and the bloody smell permeated the air, making people sick.
Lu Li walked on the city wall, watching the soldiers methodically throwing thunderbolt fireballs and manipulating the bed crossbow to repel the attacking bandits time and time again, his heart gradually settled down.
If there is no accident, this city wall can be defended.
As long as we get through tonight, the dark clouds that have shrouded the capital for several months will dissipate, and the courtiers and common people can also breathe a sigh of relief.
The peaceful and prosperous world he promised to someone is just around the corner.
Lu Li raised the corners of his lips slightly, and looked back into the city, only to see that Xiao Luzi was arguing with two young eunuchs, which seemed to be a serious argument.
Seeing that nothing would happen on the city wall for a while, Lu Li called someone to call Xiao Luzi up: "Who are those two down there? Why are you arguing with them?"
Xiaoluzi hesitated, as if hesitating whether to speak or not.
Lu Li's face darkened: "Is there anything you need to hide from me?"
Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Some chores in the palace are not too urgent, it will not be too late to talk about them after the battle..."
Lu Li's heart suddenly jumped, and he had a bad premonition.
He stared at Xiaoluzi and shouted sharply: "Say!"
Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Those two people, one is from Yongfu Palace. They said that after dinner, they suddenly found that there were a few young eunuchs missing in the palace. Concubine Xian asked people to go to each palace to ask, and found that every eunuch was missing. There are more or less people missing everywhere..."
Lu Li's expression changed slightly: "You actually plan to delay telling me about such a big matter until tomorrow morning? Hurry up and order the Golden Armored Guards to inspect and watch out for changes in the palace!"
Xiao Luzi hurriedly agreed and was about to retreat immediately.
Lu Li stopped him again: "What about the other thing?"
Xiao Luzi hesitated: "The later person is from the Palace of Youth. He said that the empress is about to give birth!"
After thinking about it, he finally didn't say the other half of the sentence.
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, but he didn't seem to have recovered.
Xiaoluzi called out tentatively: "Your Majesty?"
Lu Li immediately raised his hand and grabbed his shoulder: "How...how is it now? Didn't it mean that it's still early? Has the imperial doctor passed by? Have the midwife and nurse made arrangements..."
Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial physicians are here, and the midwife is also here - Your Majesty has always been in good health, there will be no problems!"
Lu Li collected himself, and said in a hoarse voice, "Order the golden armored guards to guard Fanghua Palace. No matter what happens, Fanghua Palace must be safe and sound!"
Xiaoluzi hurriedly agreed, and ran down quickly.
Lu Li supported the city wall and watched the path go far away, his heart was in a mess.
"Mr. Lu!" Someone shouted on the city wall, which immediately caused a crowd of exclamations.
Lu Li hurriedly turned around, and when he looked down, he saw hundreds of armored soldiers rushing towards a tall Lu Gongcar.
The soldiers in the car were wearing iron armor, holding long knives, bows and arrows, and were looking down at the city wall from a high position, looking like a tiger descending the mountain.
The bow and arrow shot down from Mr. Lu's car, because of the short distance and the force of the falling force, is naturally different from the soft and light arrows under the city.
What's more serious, the guards quickly discovered that the arrows shot from above were poisonous.
There was a moment of confusion among the guards.
Lu Li pushed away a soldier who fell from the arrow, rushed to the trebuchet, and pulled the rope first, "What are you afraid of? They come to die, let's help them!"
The soldiers summoned up their courage again, roared in unison, pulled the horizontal tip of the catapult with all their strength, and threw a large stone weighing hundreds of catties.
The biggest weakness of Lü Gong's car is its "bulkyness".
After taking this hard blow, several pieces of the fender on the car were broken, and several archers in the car fell down.
The city guards gained a bit of confidence, and before Lu Li could order them, they placed the huge boulder on their own, and struck out again.
Seeing this, Lu Li felt relieved.
The so-called Lu public car is just something to scare people.If you can't run fast, you will basically only get beaten.
Of course, the poisoned arrows and siege warriors on the car are still somewhat useful.
But the city guards are not vegetarians, even if these hundreds of people can rush up the city wall, they cannot escape the fate of being killed.
The city gate should be opened from the inside and the outside?nonexistent!
At the gate of the city, the ramming car was still crashing persistently.
The guards kept shouting, and Ning Yuan gradually frowned: "It seems to be knocked away!"
Lu Li walked over quickly: "Is our saber cart ready?"
"Don't worry, the emperor, I've been waiting!" Ning Yuan clenched his fists and smiled confidently.
***
Youth Palace.
The maids and women were in a mess, the midwife was busy inside, and the imperial doctor was watching by, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was breathless.
The veil in Su Qingyuan's mouth had already been bitten off, her face was wet as if water had been splashed on her, and it took all her strength to endure the severe pain, even the blood on her lips faded.
The midwife yelled anxiously at the side: "Don't just endure the pain, you have to work hard! Save some strength and use it down!"
Su Qingyuan stared at the door with wide eyes, but remained silent.
No one knew whether she understood the midwife's words, and no one dared to ask at this time.
Most of the little girls who were waiting around were frightened, so they had to call a few experienced nuns from the East side hall to help, and the rest were only accompanied by Luoxia and Danyue.
Luoxia looked at Su Qingyuan's eyes eagerly looking towards the door, and felt scared in her heart.
Of course she knew who Su Qingyuan was waiting for, but...
That person won't be here tonight.
"Your Majesty, I've sent someone to invite you. First, give birth to the child with peace of mind. See him in peace. Ask and express your anger in person, okay?" Luoxia was already begging.
Su Qingyuan closed her eyes, only panted heavily, and did not speak.
At this time, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the window, and someone sternly asked, "Who told you to break in!"
Su Qingyuan immediately opened her eyes again.
Luoxia hurriedly ran out to have a look, and came back to persuade: "It's the Jinjiawei, so don't worry about it, empress."
Sure enough, someone outside quickly said: "Jin Jiawei is ordered to protect the safety of Fanghua Palace, and the idlers are not allowed to come in and out!"
"Jinjiawei? What are they going to do?" Su Qingyuan finally spoke.
Luoxia hurriedly said: "The Golden Armored Guard is here to protect us by the emperor's order!"
"Is it protection—or imprisonment? He's going to kill me, isn't he?" Su Qingyuan's eyes widened, her hands tightly clutching the corner of the quilt, and she kept shaking her head.
The midwife thought she had heard some terrible conspiracy, and her legs gave way in fright, and she fell to the ground.
"You asked Lu Li to come to see me! Even if I die, I will die knowingly!" Su Qingyuan screamed at Luoxia with straight neck.
Luoxia was so anxious that she burst into tears: "Who wants to kill you? I've said it hundreds of times, the emperor just has to come here, why don't you believe it..."
"Sister Luoxia, Sister Luoxia!" A little maid's scream suddenly sounded outside.
Luoxia hurriedly ran out again.
Su Qingyuan stared at the door with wide eyes, but did not wait for Luoxia to come back for a long time.
Danyue couldn't help but follow her out to take a look, and ran back with a pale face: "Outside... there's a fight outside! Jin Jiawei and some eunuchs..."
Su Qingyuan's eyes went dark for a while, and she couldn't hear what she was saying behind her.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xia stumbled back and ran back: "My lady, don't worry, there is nothing serious outside—you just need to be at ease."
She said it was "no big deal", but there was a smell of blood coming from her body.
Even, the sound of shouts and the impact of weapons can already be heard outside.
"Still lying to me..." Su Qingyuan tugged at the corners of her pale lips.
Outside the window, another eunuch shouted: "The guards can't hold on anymore, the city gate has been breached!"
Immediately afterwards, another person shouted: "The rebels have broken into the palace!"
"It's fighting? Is the city being attacked outside? Where is Lu Li?" Su Qingyuan struggled to sit up.
"My ancestor! Can you give birth to your child with peace of mind?" Luoxia was anxious and frightened, wishing to pass out and nothing to do with herself.
When the nuns heard that the rebels had broken into the palace, they all fainted from fright.
The midwife, who was supposed to be the backbone on this occasion, was the most timid. After being frightened one after another, she sat at the foot of the bed, trembling, unable to stand up.
Su Qingyuan was confused, and pushed away the little maid's hand, struggling to stand up.
The whole room was so frightened that no one could make up their minds.
Fortunately, Su Qingyuan still couldn't get up, and a severe pain left her on the bed.
The midwife looked up and saw that the mattress was wet, she finally woke up, she knelt and climbed to the edge of the bed, gritted her teeth and shouted: "Press her back! Teach her to push hard! If you delay, you will lose two lives. What else do you care about?" Those who fight do not fight!"
***
city wall.
The moment the city gate was knocked open, the saber carts blocked the gate and continued to keep the rebels out of the city.
At this time, both sides were exhausted, their offense and defense had lost their previous vigor, and they were all relying on perseverance to hold on.
Armored soldiers swarmed towards the door, and the guards gritted their teeth, desperately resisting.
This situation was still within Lu Li's expectations.
He firmly believed that his guards could keep the rebels out of the city walls, even though the city was littered with dead bodies at this time.
The accident happened at this time.
The sound of horseshoes shattered the peace in the city, and a soldier in gold armor rushed over in panic: "Report—"
Lu Li's expression changed drastically.
Jin Jiawei was supposed to be guarding Miyagi, could it be that something changed in the palace?
The soldier got off his horse and urgently reported: "There are a large number of rebels in the palace, and they are burning and killing. All the soldiers are meeting the enemy!"
Ning Yuan asked sharply: "How is it possible? The city gate was not broken, how could the rebels enter the palace?"
Duan Ran, who was helping at the gate of the city, rushed up immediately after hearing the sound: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the tunnel?"
Lu Li's face turned pale: "Impossible! Even if the old thief can find the exit in Xiangquan Mountain, even if he can blow up the exit and force his way in... But there are criss-crossed secret passages inside, how could he find the correct entrance!"
Duan Ran turned to look at the golden armored soldier: "Where did the bandits appear?"
The soldier stared and said, "Yuxiu Palace and Yanxi Palace seem to appear at the same time!"
Duan Ran's brows were tightened: "This is very wrong! We have obviously blocked the correct entrance, even if the old thief is a real rat, it will take months to find the entrance in that kind of place, there is no reason for it to be so fast! unless……"
"Unless there is an inner ghost!" Ning Yuan immediately answered.
Lu Li shook his head: "The only ones who know the tunnel well are Zhen and Duan Ran. Where did the ghost come from!"
Ning Yuan looked at Duan Ran, who immediately raised his hands: "It's really not me!"
"Of course I know it's not you," Lu Li gritted his teeth, "Now is not the time for us to catch the ghost! Duan Ran, you immediately bring a team of elites back to the palace, and make sure to bring A Yuan and Jun Er out!"
"What about the other people?" Duan Ran asked subconsciously.
Lu Li turned around: "The two of them are what the old thief wants to catch the most, so no matter what, we can't let them fall into the hands of the old thief! As for the others - I can't care about them!"
Duan Ran ran down the city wall without saying a word.
Lu Li turned around and watched the fight outside the city, unable to calm down anymore.
Seeing his distraught appearance, Ning Yuan felt very anxious, and hurriedly persuaded him: "The Queen Mother has always been very sensible, and King Ding'an is also young and mature, so they will definitely not be coerced by the old thief..."
Lu Li walked quickly to the top of the city, obviously not wanting to hear his nonsense.
He was at the top of the city, but his heart had already flown back to the palace.
Bandit soldiers have already broken into the palace, so what's the point of defending the city here?
As long as the thieves in the palace capture A Yuan and Jun'er alive, and then occupy the Chaogan Hall, the old thief will not be allowed to do whatever he wants in this world!
Lu Li really wanted to leave this matter behind and rush back to the palace immediately.But the battle on the city wall was intense, and it was impossible to spare people to come back to the palace to rescue.
He underestimated the tricks of the old thief, and fell into the trick of "striking from the east to the west"!
Ning Yuan still followed: "The situation is like this, it's useless to think too much. Mr. Duan is very wise, and he will be able to take care of the Queen Mother and King Ding'an Zhouquan. We can only guard the city gate. At that time...even if the old thief occupies the palace city , we may not have a chance to turn around!"
Lu Li nodded and clenched his fists.
Gongli... can only hope that Duan Ran is lucky enough.
***
Youth Palace.
The golden armored guards guarded the gate of the palace, confronting the menacing rebels.
The swords clashed like the sound of hell.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and corpses were everywhere.
In the palace, in the bedroom.Hot water was sent in bucket by bucket, and when it was replaced again, it turned into a bright red and dazzling color.
The doctor has also gone in.It seems that more than two hours have passed, but there is still no exciting news coming out.
Lu Junnuo was lying on the soft couch in the outer hall, hugging Nanny Zhu's arm, and shed tears: "Mama, are those people outside here to arrest us? Why doesn't the queen mother want to see me? Is she injured? "
Nanny Zhu didn't know how to comfort him, so she had to repeatedly persuade him to sleep peacefully.
Although Lu Junnuo was young, he was not stupid. How could he sleep at such a critical moment?
When another bucket of blood was sent out, Nanny Zhu couldn't help but stood up, and stopped the pale little palace maid: "What...is it inside?"
The little maid shook her head, unable to say anything.
At this time, there was loud footsteps in the courtyard, and a group of people rushed in hurriedly.
Danyue held the door latch to welcome him out, and when he saw someone coming, he was stunned for a moment: "Duan Ran, what are you doing here?"
Duan Ran snapped his fingers and grinned: "Of course I am here to be a hero to save the beauty! Fanghua Palace has been surrounded by traitors, you don't know it? If I don't come tonight, don't you want to come?" Catch him without a fight?"
"Master!" Lu Junnuo jumped up and crashed into Duan Ran's arms.
Duan Ran picked him up casually: "Yo, you've been waiting here for a long time! Where's your beautiful queen? Call her out and come with me!"
Lu Junnuo cried "Wow—" and said, "The queen mother is inside, please save her, master..."
"What's wrong?" Duan Ran ran inside.
Nanny Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Mr. Duan, stop! When a woman gives birth, it is taboo for outsiders to be present!"
"Give... a baby?" Duan Ran was stunned.
Madam Zhu sighed with a bitter face.
During this time, the sound of sword clashes outside has not stopped.
Duan Ran was in a hurry: "What time is it, she still cares about having a baby! It's important to escape, let her hold back!"
Nanny Zhu was about to cry: "It's because you refused to live well that you broke into the gate of hell, and you still want to say such things!"
"It's not...very serious?" Duan Ran finally panicked.
Luoxia heard the movement, and rushed out from inside: "Young Master Duan, did the emperor call you here? Now that the empress is having a difficult delivery, and bandits from outside will rush in at any time, we... what should we do?"
Luoxia has always been calm and calm, but now she is panicked and at a loss.
Outside, the rebels are still coming here one after another.
Duan Ran gritted her teeth: "We can't sit still, let's go into the tunnel immediately!"
He thought to himself: Although the tunnel is no longer safe, at least it should be more reliable than rushing out, right?
Luoxia had long since lost her mind, and immediately rushed into the inner hall upon hearing this, and said as Duan Ran suggested.
Danyue immediately jumped up: "But my mother is afraid of the dark, she might get sick if she enters the tunnel!"
"Go... go in!" Su Qingyuan, who was already on the verge of death, suddenly opened her eyes.
At that moment, no one raised any objections. The palace servants and the guards brought by Duan Ran hurriedly opened the entrance of the tunnel. The midwives and nuns first carried Su Qingyuan in, and then the imperial physician and palace maids carried Su Qingyuan in. , Zhu Mama hugged Lu Junnuo, and finally everyone from Fanghua Palace walked in.
Duan Ran asked someone to close the tunnel entrance.
Although the glazed lamp was quickly lit, the oppressive atmosphere in the tunnel inevitably surrounded everyone.
Others were okay, but Su Qingyuan couldn't bear it immediately.
She covered her eyes tightly and began to tremble uncontrollably.
The imperial physician and midwife surrounded her, trying their best to comfort her, but it was of no avail.
Danyue grabbed Su Qingyuan's hand and said anxiously to everyone: "We must quickly find a place with light, the empress can't stand it here!"
Duan Ran gritted her teeth: "It's really not suitable to stay in the tunnel for a long time! We must go out as soon as possible and hide outside the palace! Doctor Yu, two lives are in your hands, you must hold on!"
Imperial Physician Yu had a bitter look on his face, and he dared not answer for a long time.
Everyone hung their hearts and walked in the winding tunnel.Except for Duan Ran, no one knows which direction the way out is.
"Physician Yu, would it be dangerous to move your mother at this time?" Danyue asked in a crying voice.
Imperial Physician Yu shook his head, not daring to say "yes", let alone "no".
"Lu Li..." Su Qingyuan suddenly called out.
Duan Ran hurriedly rushed in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "Lu Li is fine! Hold on tight, we'll see him after dawn!"
"Lu Li!" Su Qingyuan firmly grabbed Duan Ran's sleeve.
Duan Ran frowned: "Confused?"
Su Qingyuan struggled out of the midwife's arms, screaming: "Why did you kill me! You want me to die, so just use the knife, why do you make me suffer so much... Isn't it enough for you to torture me!"
"Is it like this when she is sick?" Duan Ran turned to ask Luoxia.
Luoxia hesitated and shook her head.
Su Qingyuan still refused to let go: "Lu Li, I regret it... I don't take this child away, you ask the imperial doctor to cut open my stomach and take it out, it will be too late! I have already seen red eyes and green eyes. The ghost of the hair, they came to catch me..."
Duan Ran shuddered, subconsciously raised his head and looked around.
Several timid court ladies screamed in fright, Lu Junnuo curled up in Zhu Nanny's arms and cried.
Duan Ran woke up, gritted his teeth and said, "This woman is really crazy! Doctor Yu, can you think of a way to make her fall asleep first?"
He remembered that Lu Li had ordered a long time ago that if he had to go through the tunnel, he could knock her out first.
Regrettably, Imperial Physician Yu shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty must stay awake, otherwise the child will not be able to exert himself when he comes out, I'm afraid..."
"But she's not sober now!" Duan Ran was going crazy with anger.
Imperial Physician Yu was speechless, but still refused to take the risk.
An imperial physician who followed suddenly asked: "Mr. Duan came here by order, did the emperor say to protect the elder and the younger?"
Duan Ran was stunned, and jumped up: "You asked 'protect the big and protect the young'? You dare to put one to death and try! Exterminating your nine clans is not enough for the emperor to vent his anger!"
The imperial physician didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he couldn't think of any way to solve the current predicament.
So along the way, Su Qingyuan kept making noises, Lu Junnuo often cried, and a few timid maids uttered exclamations from time to time—it was really messy, even more chaotic than the fleeing common people.
After walking like this for an unknown amount of time, Su Qingyuan made noises and cried for a while, and finally her voice gradually lowered.
Duan Ran thought she was noisy before, but now he is afraid that she will stop making noise.
It is a matter of human life, who can not panic?
The guards walked all the way, changing the entrances and exits of the tunnel, for fear of being spotted by the bandits.
Coupled with the deep tunnel and many fork roads, although the group tried their best to speed up, it was still too slow in the eyes of the imperial physicians.
Stepping on the door of hell, how can time be wasted like this!
Imperial Physician Yu wanted to tell the team to stop several times, but finally swallowed the words back.
Seeing Su Qingyuan babbling wildly, he didn't dare to take the risk.
After walking for about an hour, Duan Ran calculated that the nearest exit was not far away, and his heart finally cheered up a bit.
However, this excitement quickly turned into panic.
There is light ahead!
It is light that moves.
When the exit is not open, even if there is light, it must be a weak, still ray of sky light, it can never be such a bright fire!
someone!
The guards were all on alert.
Duan Ran led the crowd back a few steps, hid in a side road, lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid he belongs to the old thief!"
Luoxia was in a hurry: "Then what should I do? Change to another exit?"
Duan Ran smiled wryly and shook his head: "It takes at least one or two hours to go to another exit, not to mention... since the old thief is guarding here, there may be people at the other exits! Our tunnel has been leaked, and it is already in the hands of the old thief Already!"
"Young master, rush out!" A guard clenched the knife in his hand and gritted his teeth.
Duan Ran wanted to say that the safest option was to hide in the tunnel.
But seeing Su Qingyuan curled up in a ball and shivering, he swallowed the words again, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on!"
Everyone made some arrangements, surrounded Su Qingyuan and Lu Junnuo, and walked out slowly.
The person on the opposite side had already noticed the light on this side just now, and was chasing here.
After meeting them head-on, both sides could see that there were quite a number of people on the other side, and each was a little hesitant.
Duan Ran gritted his teeth: "Let's go into the fork, cut off the way, and turn it out!"
So after walking forward for a while, they turned into another fork.
After passing by, the guard quickly put down the boulder and blocked the way.
Everyone continued to move forward and continue to cast doubts, and they didn't know how much time they could buy.
However, no matter which road you choose, there is only one nearest exit, which cannot be avoided.
There must be someone guarding the exit.
Calculating the time, the sky is probably about to dawn.
Everyone gathered their courage and returned to the road leading directly to the exit.
There is still a lot of fire in front.
There was another fire chasing after him, and there was no way out.
Duan Ran gritted his teeth: "Get out!"
All the guards raised their long knives in unison, surrounded Su Qingyuan, Lu Junnuo and a group of court ladies and eunuchs, and walked over firmly against the fire in front of them.
close, close...
The faces reddened by the flames can already be seen clearly, and the excited smiles on those faces are getting closer.
Sure enough, he was a soldier of the Iron Armored Army.
Everyone clearly heard someone laughing: "The prey is delivered to the door by itself, we have a lot of credit for this!"
Laughter broke into the tunnel and echoed continuously, shaking people's hearts.
"Ghost, it's a ghost..." Su Qingyuan curled up in the midwife's arms, her voice was almost inaudible.
As the distance got closer and closer, someone in the opposing team shouted: "Isn't it our fourth lady who came here? Is King Ding'an here? You two don't have to die, and the rest of you can save your life!"
Duan Ran pulled out the sword at his waist and laughed loudly: "Where did this toad come from screaming there? If you want your grandpas' lives, come and kowtow first!"
The armored soldier responded with a wild laugh.The two sides gradually approached, and the distance between them was no more than three or five zhang.
At this moment, a huge fireball suddenly sprang out from a fork next to it, screaming "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
This suddenly turned into an accident, and neither side expected it.
The flames spread everywhere, and the armored soldiers immediately went into chaos.
Duan Ran made a decisive decision: "Rush out!"
The group didn't have time to think about it, Qi Qi speeded up and rushed forward surrounded by guards.
Fighting hand to hand, the armored soldiers had to put out the fire, chase the fireball, and deal with Duan Ran and the guards' desperate charge, so they were in a hurry.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the guards finally rushed out.
Even the eunuchs and maids, everyone used whisks, lanterns and teeth, and fought with the armored soldiers in a chaotic mess.
Finally saw the sky.
Most of the guards and eunuchs on the periphery of the team were lost, and the casualties were heavy.
——But there is still a large group of armored soldiers guarding outside, the number may not be less than a thousand.
They were full of energy, bowed their bows and set arrows, facing the group of people who rushed out by luck.
"My life is over!" Duan Ran smiled wryly, and looked back at Su Qingyuan who was in the midwife's arms.
"Mother..." Lu Junnuo grabbed Su Qingyuan's sleeve and cried.
Su Qingyuan raised her head, her eyes widened: "Where is the ghost? The ghost ran away?"
"It's still there!" Duan Ran pointed to those armored soldiers with bows and arrows.
Among the armored soldiers, the leader put down his bow and arrow, and cupped his hands: "Miss Si, King Ding'an, do you two want to live, or die with them?"
Su Qingyuan was stunned for a while, and suddenly struggled violently in the midwife's arms: "You die if you want to die, why bother to take me!"
"Woman, don't go crazy!" Duan Ran became anxious.
Su Qingyuan ignored him.
The midwife put her on the ground, and Su Qingyuan had no strength to stand up at all, so she could only lie half-lying in embarrassment, staring at the bow and arrow opposite her with wide eyes.
At this moment, almost all the clothes on the group of people had turned dark red—the bright flowers blooming on the sleeves were blood.
Su Qingyuan's body was more bloody than others.
In addition to the traces of killing, there were also marks of life—the ill-fated little guy was still stirring in her belly, and her underwear was almost soaked in blood.
Also stained with blood, apart from the clothes, there was also the weird bracelet on her wrist.
Su Qingyuan slowly raised her wrist, and smiled palely at the armored soldier opposite: "I'm about to give birth, so I can't move around. If you don't want me to die, come and help me!"
