Chapter 264: Escape from the Palace

Lin Kunshan and a group of guards stood in the yard. As long as the signal was sent outside, they rushed out and intercepted those who had left the palace.

Shangguan Sheng opened a palace gate to the east in the name of facilitating the travel of soldiers. The guards were not strictly guarded and those who wanted to get out of the palace would probably give it a try. After leaving the palace, there was an alley that was the only way to go, and Lin Kunshan and others were guarding a yard at the exit of the alley.

There was more than two, and clapping sounds came from outside. More than a dozen famous guards pushed the door out. Lin Kunshan didn't move, sat on the only stool, smiling, and waiting quietly.

Not long after, the person who left the palace was brought in. He was a eunuch in his thirties. He was so scared that he was trembling all over and almost dragged into the yard.

"What's your name?" Lin Kunshan said in a kind tone.

"Jiang, Jiang Tianfu, the more you add."

"Well, good name, why did you leave the palace?"

"Someone at home is sick."

"Eunuchs also have a home?" Lin Kunshan was a little surprised.

The eunuch nodded desperately and looked at the guards around him for help. No one paid attention to him. He had to say, "As long as the Queen Mother or Your Majesty allows, the eunuch can get married. I am the Queen Mother allows it."

Lin Kunshan laughed and wanted to ask where the eunuch's family came from, but he had something more important, "Take it over."

The eunuch was stunned and looked at the soldiers around him again. He seemed to feel that there were too many people and was a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a while before reaching out to his arms, touching and taking out a small package, and sending it here reluctantly.

Lin Kunshan had a smile on his face, but as soon as he took the package, he felt that the weight was not right. The seal was made of jade and should not be so heavy. His smile reduced a little and he quickly opened the package.

There are three small gold bricks inside.

"What is this?" Lin Kunshan put away his smile.

"This is... a little filial piety to the adults." The eunuch said honestly that he did not recognize those who were angrily arrogant and had to call them "adults".

Lin Kunshan threw the gold bricks on the ground with his hands, "Where is the treasure seal?"

The eunuch looked confused. Of course he knew what the seal was, but he never thought it would happen to him, so he was confused, "It should... be there in the seal order."

"Search your body, search from head to toe." Lin Kunshan ordered that he was used to seeing big shots. He really couldn't "go with the flow" against an ordinary eunuch, and was more willing to take simple and rough measures.

Two soldiers raised the eunuch's arms, and the other searched carefully, and soon found another bag of gold and jewelry, but there was no seal.

"Why did you leave the palace quietly?" Lin Kunshan asked sternly.

"There are people at home..."

"You are lying, what disease does it take you to bring so much gold?"

"It's really my family is sick and very ill."

"Cut off one of his hands." Lin Kunshan ordered.

A soldier pulled out his knife, and the eunuch Jiang Tianfu plopped down and knelt down, "Sir, please spare me, I'll tell the truth."

Lin Kunshan waved his hand to stop the soldiers, "Speak quickly."

"The palace... rumor." Jiang Tianfu sneaked at the soldiers around him again and said in a trembling voice: "The palace rumors that once the guards are defeated, they will hunt down the palace people and will never leave us to... other emperors. Everyone is very scared, and I am also scared, so... so I want to leave the palace to hide for a while..."

"Everyone?" Lin Kunshan suddenly felt uneasy.

"Yes, I'm not the only one who wants to leave the palace to take refuge, soon..."

Before Jiang Tianfu finished speaking, clapping sounds outside were heard, and a soldier broke into the door and said anxiously: "Does... no, hundreds..."

Lin Kunshan was shocked, got up and strode to the gate of the courtyard, looking out at the street.

In the night, it was hard to tell how many people were running wildly, with eunuchs and palace maids. In a trance, there seemed to be a small number of soldiers, and they didn't make any sounds in their mouths. They just ran desperately, as if there were beasts chasing them behind them.

Lin Kunshan was stunned. Seeing that the crowd was about to pass by, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop! Stop them! None of them can escape!"

The guard soldiers rushed out of the yard, but their number was too small, only more than fifty, but they were facing hundreds of people who had sacrificed their lives. The guard soldiers' company had not yet been arranged, and the two sides had already rushed together.

Many people were knocked down by scabbards and shanks, but more people rushed through the blockade and fled into nearby streets and alleys. It was difficult to recover them.

Lin Kunshan stood at the door as he was stunned. He was still fooled. Yang Feng actually guessed this move, so he asked a large group of people to cover the seal hiding person to escape. As for how Yang Feng was with the palace servant, Lin Kunshan was completely confused and was not interested. He only regretted one thing, why did he think the seal hiding person would leave the palace alone?

Because the seal was too important, he thought that Yang Feng would never dare to entrust such valuable things to many people, and could only be one person, but he did not expect that the statement that Yang Feng used to encourage everyone to escape from the palace had nothing to do with the seal.

Lin Kunshan came to his senses, raised the corner of his clothes with both hands, leaned against the wall, and walked quietly outside the alley. As soon as he walked a few steps, he was stopped by the soldiers. "Mr. Lin, everyone was caught. Let's go with us to report to General Shangguan."

This is not "catching all". Most of the people escaped, but the soldiers did not want to take this responsibility. They were just such a few people and were not fully prepared in advance. This was all the blame for those who were looking for advice.

Under the escort of the soldiers, Lin Kunshan walked towards the palace with a pale face, looking back frequently, thinking about how to "take the opportunity" to get rid of the crime of throwing the seal.

The idea of ​​"three parts of the world" popped up in his mind again.

The Guards were concentrated in the North City, while the Southern Army occupied the West City. Because they were worried that their generals would be betrayed, neither side dared to disperse their troops. The East and South City were abandoned, and almost no soldiers were stationed. The residents escaped the war, but they did not dare to be careless. In broad daylight, few people dared to go out to the streets, and at night they all hid at home.

The people who successfully escaped from the palace were scattered in the streets and alleys, either returning home or seeking reunions and friends, and soon disappeared without a trace. Only a young eunuch ran south desperately, but his speed quickly dropped, obviously he was exhausted.

The little eunuch dared not stop and could not run, so he could only move forward quickly. When he arrived in Nancheng, the little eunuch encountered more serious problems and refused to recognize the way.

The little eunuch only knew that he was going to Nancheng, but the further he went, the narrower and more complicated the streets and alleys were. In the dark, it was difficult to even identify the direction, let alone looking for an unknown small inn, he only knew that he could try to move towards the southeast corner of the capital.

There were three people standing in front of him. When the eunuch ran closer, he realized that he screamed in fear, turned around quickly, and there were two people standing behind him.

"Hey, this doesn't look like a eunuch, it's like... a woman."

The little eunuch not only screamed like a woman, but also looked like, "Who are you...?" As soon as he spoke, he further proved his identity.

"Don't bother who we are." The man in front of him said, and found that this was just a woman who could not know martial arts. His tone was much more relaxed, "Did you escape from the palace?"

"no."

"Then why do you have the eunuch's clothes?"

"yes."

“Is that right?”

"Yes." The woman calmed down a little, "not only me, but many people escaped. It is said that the Guards were going to massacre palace people."

"Which door did you come out?"

"Dongqingmen." She had no need to lie.

Several men blocking the road looked at each other and said, "What's going on? A group of palace maids can break out. What keys should we send someone to the palace to steal?"

"Don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders." Another reminded.

"Where are the others?" the man asked.

"Hide in Dongcheng." The palace maid replied.

"Why did you come to Nancheng?"

I heard that this is Nancheng, and the palace maids felt a little relieved, "I... my relative lives in Nancheng, and I am here to join me."

Several men nodded, as if they had accepted this remark and gave way. A man behind the palace maid caught up, "Wait, search for her lower body first, maybe she will bring the royal treasure."

"Don't do anything randomly, Lao Wu, we have a task, what kind of heroes are bullying women..."

"Go, I'm not a hero, I'm just... You see, she looks so scared that she must have treasures on her body. If you don't search, I'll search. The treasures are my own, and you don't have your share."

Another man wanted to persuade him, but his companions laughed and took him away.

Only one man was left, standing in front of the palace maid, and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

"I...I'll give you money, you can let me go." The palace maid took out a silver ingot from her arms in panic.

The man took it in his hand, raised it over his head, glanced at it in the moonlight, but he still couldn't see it clearly, but he felt that the weight should be right. In this way, he could not let the palace maid go, "Don't worry, don't you leave the palace often?"

"Yes." The palace maid took a step back vigilantly.

"There are no other men in the palace except eunuchs or emperors?"

The palace maid took a step back, "There are also guards."

"Can the palace maids see the guards?"

"able."

"Haha, I think you are lying. You can't see the guards, and there are more treasures on you. Hey, you are a treasure myself. I have never touched them for so many years... Ouch!"

The man covered his left face, drew his sword with his right hand, turned around and shouted angrily: "Who? Fatty, is it you? Come out for me."

No one showed up, his companions had already walked away.

Another stone shot in the darkness, hitting the man's forehead, with great strength, and suddenly smashing the bag. The man retreated in a hurry, "There are really guards..." The man turned around and ran away, looking for help.

The palace maid stood there, not understanding what was going on.

A figure approached quietly and whispered: "Tong Qing'e, come with me."

The palace maid was startled, "How do you know my name?"

The man said, "I am Meng'e, we have met."

"Ah, it's you, it's great. I have something to hand over to you. It's Mr. Yang..."

"Let's talk about it later, follow me first." Meng E led the way ahead.

Tong Qing'e followed closely, feeling safe in her heart, "So coincidentally, I actually met you here."

"I am responsible for surveillance of the Tan family in this area and I will fight with them later."

"Fight? What I bring is more important."

Meng E stopped, Tong Qing'e stepped forward and said two words with her ears. Meng E raised her eyebrows, "You still have to fight, and you have to give it away, so you have to give it to me."

Tong Qing'e stuffed a small package into Meng'e's hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "The next thing depends on you."

Meng E took Tong Qing'e around the bush and did not go to the inn. Instead, she stopped in front of a private house and knocked on the door lightly. Someone inside immediately opened the door.

The room was crowded with people, and Tong Qing'e saw the familiar face in the crowd and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Brother Cai!"

Cai Xinghai was shocked and was about to speak when Meng E walked forward and lit up the things in her hand.

Cai Xinghai was shocked. Although he had never had the chance to see him with his own eyes before, he could still recognize that the seal in Meng E's hand was definitely not an ordinary thing.

He glanced at Tong Qing'e at the door and said to everyone in the room: "The plan has changed. We have to give a thing out of the city to Juanhou. Even if we die, we must succeed." (To be continued.)
