Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I couldn't help pinching my fists, my palms were all sweaty cold.

I asked, "What then?"

"Then the boy explained to Zhou Chengyin and asked him to immediately send someone outside to find the medicine said on the letter."

"What else did he do?"

"He asked someone to move a chair to the door of the state capital, and let the elder brother sit on it. The guards around him all put the knife holder on the neck of the elder brother, without letting go.

"So, what about letting people go?"

"Brother said, the original surname Zhou was still a little hesitant, but the boy only looked at him, he didn't dare to say anything, and immediately sent someone to open the door in the prison."

I nodded and asked, "Okay, hard work."

The man panted and turned back.

Xiao Zhong immediately came to me and asked, "What shall we do now?"

I looked up and looked at him: "I said before, leaving a clue for them to find the medicinal herbs, has it been arranged?"

Xiao Zhong glanced at me and said, "Arranged."

I nodded my head and calculated for myself. From the moment the man ran back from the prefecture to the present, the person sent by Pei Yuanxiu to the medicinal material should soon find that there is no medicinal material in Huaian City, and then go back to the newspaper Then they searched around and found that the clues arranged by these people were almost an hour later.

And now, the people in the jail should have been released.

I looked up and said to him, "All of you, please go to the Nanchengmen quickly. According to the previous arrangement, as long as you are not in trouble, you should be out of the city and there should be no problem."

He frowned and looked at me: "Then you--"

"Relax," I said, "they will find me."

He moved his shoulder subconsciously to go out, but his steps were still stagnant, and he looked back at me and said, "You--"

I smiled: "I know you want to take me to Nanchengmen. After all, I'm still your hostage. You don't fully believe me, do you?"

"..."

He didn't speak, but his blinking eyes had been acquiesced.

I said faintly: "My current situation, whoever takes me is a burden. And I think you already know that people in the state care about me and the children in my stomach."

"Ok."

"Tonight the people in the prefecture are divided into three ways. You must **** your family members out of the city to find medicinal materials. Someone is still guarding your elder brother in the prefecture. They are worried that there will be a surprise attack.-Probably, a batch will be allocated Ren Ma continued to find me in Huai'an City. In contrast, the **** of your family members will be the least, and because of this, you guessed that you have the opportunity to leave while opening the gate. "

"..."

"But if I show up at Nanchengmen ... you don't want to leave any of them."

"..."

"If I follow you in any accident, or if you take me out of Huai'an-"

"how about it?"

"That person will wash Huaian City in blood."

He shook slightly, and opened his eyes to look at me.

The two of them were silent for a long time and looked at each other for a long time. He finally said, "But I still don't worry. Those people say they want to release our family members. Will they really be obedient? They do all this because you are here. Our hands, if you are not in my hands, I find everything difficult to say. "

I thought about it, and it is no wonder that he would be so cautious. After all, Brother Chen's family was killed. They knew that the news must be very shocking, so they risked sneaking into the state capital to rob me.

Those are, after all, their loved ones.

I said, "Well, I can go with you to Nanchengmen and wait for your family members to leave the city--"

"I'll let you go immediately."

Seeing his vows, I smiled indifferently: "You can't let go."

He froze, remembering what I said just now, that person would bloodwash Huaian City, his expression became more dignified, he came over and reached out to me: "Let's go."

I followed them to leave this dilapidated small house. I should not have taken a good rest or walked for a few days. My feet were a little swollen, and the road was numb and uncomfortable. Fortunately, they were considerate and worried about me. Pregnant women, did not hurry too quickly.

But time passes little by little.

It is not easy to walk on the streets where curfews have been imposed, and to avoid the patrolling teams and people who came to find me along the way. Fortunately, these people grew up in Huai'an City and are familiar with many remote paths. And, in winter nights, the cities in the south often fog, and this is the case this night.

The entire city of Huai'an seemed to be trapped in a cloud of smoke.

By the time we finally reached a small alley not far from Nanchengmen, it was already a quarter of an hour.

It was all dark.

We hid in that alley, and heard the footsteps of the gatekeepers walking from afar. The tower flickered with light from one or two torches, faintly shining on the big gate leading to the gate. On the way.

I looked at this alley. There were only about one or twenty people, and I whispered to Xiao Zhong, "Your people are here?"

"No,"

He shook his head and glanced back at me: "Don't you say we want to get out of town while chaos?"

"Ok."

"We have other arrangements. People are on that side."

"Oh……"

I knew he was more or less wary of me, so I didn't ask much.

The night was getting darker.

I didn't notice it at first, but now I gradually feel the chill around me, especially following them hiding in this small, dark alley, cold wind drilling into my neck and cuffs, freezing me Slightly.

At this time, footsteps sounded on the street that was so quiet outside that the wind could be heard clearly.

It came out from far away, slowly, getting closer.

The footsteps seemed very mixed, and it seemed that some footsteps were neat, and some footsteps seemed messy, and horseshoes rang in the middle. As soon as we heard this voice, we immediately realized that it was escorting these people Here comes the family members!

Suddenly, everyone's breath tightened.

On the long street, the shadow of some messy people slowly appeared. As they moved closer and closer to the city gate, their footsteps became louder and louder. Xiao Zhong's breathing was tense, and some people couldn't help it. She shuddered, "Here, come!"

I also held my breath, and subconsciously wanted the probe to look out.

Just then, a tall horse appeared at the forefront of the team and walked out of the long line.

Xiao Zhong's long arm stretched out and pulled me back into the alley.

At that moment, I could see clearly that the leader was a member of Pei Yuanxiu, who followed him from Yangzhou to Huai'an, and behind him were two brothers of Brother Chen.

One after another came over, of course, just released from the cell, the family members of these people.

Xiao Zhong didn't look out, just leaned against the wall, gasping, and everyone around him was nervous, but no one dared to speak.

At this time, the guards of the city greeted them—

"what's up?"

"Ordered to release these prisoners out of town."

"What? Let them out of town? Why?"

"Don't ask why. This is Zhou's token, you see."

It was quiet outside, apparently the defender was checking the tokens, and after a while, he asked again, "So many people, are they all really released?"

"Don't ask so much, time is tight. If you miss the important thing about your son, don't talk about you, even your Master Zhou can't afford it!"

The words really scared the defenders.

They did not hesitate to go back immediately, and heard a sound, they removed the huge bolt on the gate, and with a squeak, the tall gate slowly opened.

Immediately, you can feel a cold wind blowing outside the city.

Although the wind rose, the surrounding fog did not blow away, but became more dense. As the wind poured into every small alley, we also became clouds and fog around here.

At this time, I heard a sound of very light and light, Cangjie sound, looked down, Xiao Zhong they all pulled out the sword in their hands.

Now that the gate is open, they are ready to kill.

At this time, the messy footsteps outside were slowly approaching the gate, and my breathing was getting tighter and tighter. When these people were about to walk out of the gate, I suddenly heard someone stopped and asked: "We're gone, what about our son?"

It seemed to be an old woman who spoke.

When Xiao Zhong heard the sound, the whole person shuddered, and the knife in his hand almost couldn't be held tight.

I glanced back at him, only to see that his eyes were blocked and red, and the whole person was as tight as a full bow.

As soon as that person spoke, everyone around him stopped and asked him, "Yeah, we are gone, but what about our family?"

"Where have they been?"

"My son, how did you treat my son?"

...

The voice outside was gradually noisy, and the guards who kept the city were unhappy. At this time, they were impatient and cursed: "Ask me so much? If you haven't gone the way, do you still want to be arrested Go back and go to jail? "

The people outside were quiet for a while. Some people were obviously afraid and ran out one after another.

But some older people became more and more uneasy and simply said, "No, we can't just leave like this. My son is still alive and dead. If he is still in this city, I won't leave."

"me too!"

The old people outside did not know whether it was because they were too old and in poor health, or they were too anxious. The coughs started one by one. In addition, people kept talking. For a while, the outside became confused.

I don't know if this is the reason, the fog outside is even heavier, and I faintly smelled a savory smell, almost coughing, I hurriedly reached out and covered my mouth.

However, people outside have apparently noticed something wrong.

Immediately, the guards shouted, "No, close the gate!"
