Han Ruzi broke free from Cai Xinghai's arms, got up and pulled out the Taizu's sword, staring at the wall nervously. The screams inside probably came from the three eunuchs who had broken the rear.

Cai Xinghai also got up, and the pain in his right foot became even worse, but it didn't feel like a fracture, but it twisted to his ankle, so he ignored it. The long bamboo pole was left inside the wall, and a short knife was inserted into his belt, pulled it out, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the emperor.

Zhang Youcai was a little light-hearted person. He jumped off the wall that was more than two meters high and had nothing to do, but he had no weapons in his hand, so he could only clench his fists and prepare to fight to the death.

The three of them looked up at the wall together.

The screams inside the wall soon stopped, and Zhang Youcai said: "If you can attract nearby guards..."

Before he finished speaking, a palm appeared on the wall, slapped a piece of tiles, and fell down again.

Cai Xinghai breathed a little relieved. At least there was no real master among the swordsmen he was chasing. "Let's go, your majesty, we have to leave quickly."

Han Ruzi nodded, Cai Xinghai limped on the way with his teeth and Zhang Youcai walked behind, looking back while walking, occasionally seeing his palms appearing on the wall. After walking more than a dozen steps, he couldn't help but say, "These people are so stupid. They can even jump so high. Didn't they just take a personal ladder?"

Zhang Youcai stepped on someone else's shoulders, so he always remembered this idea.

Cai Xinghai was stunned, and also looked back and immediately accelerated his pace. The lame became more obvious. Han Ruzi chased forward and held the eunuch's arm with his left hand, "Are you injured?"

Cai Xinghai hurriedly turned the short knife in his right hand to his left hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, you just sprained your ankle. I can bear it. On the battlefield, this is not considered a injury at all."

In order to prove that he had no problem, Cai Xinghai walked faster, and a few steps later, large beads of sweat oozing out of his face. Han Ruzi watched everywhere. They were walking in an extremely long alley, with the inner palace wall on one side and the red wall of the same height on the other side. I don’t know which palace garden it was inside.

There is nowhere to escape here.

Zhang Youcai, who was following behind, shouted: "They are climbing up!"

The swordsmen in the palace finally thought of ways to climb the walls and jumped up one by one. Some jumped into the alley to chase, while others ran over the walls, stomping on them.

Cai Xinghai looked forward. The alley was endless and his legs were not good. After all, he could not escape the pursuers behind him. He simply stopped and said to the emperor: "I will introduce Your Majesty into danger. My crimes are not forgiven. Please allow me to stay and fight the rebels to death. Your Majesty..."

"I want to stay." Han Ruzi also knew that he could not escape, so he held his sword and faced the pursuers, comforting him: "They dare not kill me."

He was not very sure in his heart. Luo Huanzhang and others had the Queen Mother and the King of East China Sea in their hands. Perhaps they really wanted to kill the puppet emperor to prevent future troubles.

Cai Xinghai was both ashamed and grateful. He stood in front of the emperor with a knife, staring at the swordsman running in the front.

Zhang Youcai stood beside the emperor, looking for a stone or something, but the alley was cleaned too clean, and there was not even a straw stick. He had to clench his fist and raise it in front of his chest, muttering, "Come on, see who is better."

There were ten swordsmen chasing on the ground, five people running on the top of the wall, and several swordsmen did not climb up. There was a layer of tiles on the wall, which were uneven, but the people above ran faster. Perhaps it was to show that they were extraordinary. The broken tiles under their feet kept falling down, and even the people in the alley had to hide.

Cai Xinghai didn't find the master, and felt a little relieved. He secretly thought about how many he could defeat. He felt it was difficult and regretted not bringing more people out.

The swordsmen running in front of the wall were less than ten steps apart. They jumped up sideways and wanted to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop with the force of Mount Tai and seize the first merit.

Cai Xinghai suddenly roared. Although he was already a eunuch, the roar still had seven or eight points of momentum. He seemed to have returned to the frontier, facing not the Hun cavalry, but groups of wild wolves.

The swordsman who was leaping on the wall seemed to be shocked, and his body tilted and fell into the wall.

Zhang Youcai also shouted in his sharp voice, with the original intention of echoing Cai Xinghai's roar, but unexpectedly it would have worked. Another swordsman fell from the wall and fell into the wall.

"Haha, coward!" Zhang Youcai was very excited.

Cai Xinghai was stunned. Even if the roars between him and Zhang Youcai were really powerful, the swordsman should fall outside the wall. How could he fall into the wall?

Just as he was confused, the swordsmen in the alley arrived, and the two of them arrived together, and without waiting for the companions behind him, they rushed forward with their swords.

Cai Xinghai shouted, "Protect Your Majesty!" After saying that, he took big steps to meet him. He was a veteran of the ranks and did not have the fancy moves in the world. He slashed at the head with a short knife, fast speed, strong force, and powerful momentum. The swordsman facing him was shocked and stopped dodging. Cai Xinghai raised his sword and hit the second swordsman.

The swordsman ran too fast, and the lower plate was unstable, and his hands were not strong enough. The short sword came out of his hand, scaring him to the ground and rolling, barely avoiding the fatal knife.

Zhang Youcai shouted loudly, and Han Ruzi also called out, lifting his sword and trying to rush forward, but Zhang Youcai grabbed it tightly, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, let Brother Cai take it for a while first."

More swordsmen caught up and stood scattered. Each time, only one or two people stepped forward to fight the fat eunuch. They immediately retreated if they missed a blow, and then replaced them again.

The sunset had set, and the alley quickly turned black. Cai Xinghai roared and waved his sword like a lion. He had the advantage at first, and his movements slowly slowed down. His foot injury made him unable to pursue the enemy and wasted many opportunities.

The besieged swordsmen consciously won steadily and began to talk.

"Don't worry, the eunuch is about to fail."

"Go and a few people to block the back."

"Don't hurt the emperor."

"What happened to the two people on the wall just now?"

"It's too fast to run."

It was dark and the alley was particularly dim and only blurry figures were seen. Cai Xinghai staggered and did not kill a swordsman. Instead, he was in danger frequently. He became more and more anxious. He endured the pain in his feet and stepped up to chase a swordsman.

The swordsman was prepared for a long time and dodged sideways. As a result, he fell down after a flash of his feet. Before he could support his palm, he was stabbed in the neck and fell down without saying a word.

The swordsmen were shocked, and Cai Xinghai was very energetic and rushed towards the second swordsmen with a knife. The swordsmen were unwilling to resist and wanted to retreat. For some reason, their knees bent and instead knelt forward and sent their big head under the eunuch's knife.

Two swordsmen were caught, and the others retreated one after another. Finally, someone who understood them shouted: "Be careful, the eunuch has a helper!"

Cai Xinghai also knew that he was not a normal victory, but he couldn't care about so much. He waved his short sword and limped to chase the enemy. Whether the pursued person was hiding or greeting, he always stood unsteadily at the last moment and became a ghost under the knife.

When he reached the fifth swordsman, the short sword had already curled its blade and was inserted on the enemy's shoulders and could not be pulled out. The swordsman screamed, turned around and ran away with the knife.

Cai Xinghai turned naked.

Han Ruzi could no longer watch, so she pushed Zhang Youcai away, shouted, and rushed up.

The emperor's martial arts were even more magical. Cai Xinghai had to wave his sword and slash it on the enemy in the end, but the emperor just raised his sword and rushed towards someone, either pressing his legs or covering his stomach, rolling and screaming.

"There are ambushes! There are masters!" The remaining swordsmen never noticed where the enemy was, and they didn't know that there were too many people. They were even more frightened. They turned around and ran away. The injured people who fell to the ground also rolled and crawled, leaving four corpses, all killed by Cai Xinghai.

Han Ruzi was still unsatisfied because his sword didn't even touch a drop of blood. He wanted to chase a wounded swordsman, but was grabbed by Zhang Youcai, "Your Majesty, don't chase him."

Cai Xinghai gasped and bowed to the surroundings with his fists, "Which guard brother is it? Today's emperor is here. You have made great contributions to protecting the emperor, so you might as well come out to see him."

There was no response around, only the sound of the wind whimpering.

Cai Xinghai picked up a short knife from the ground, looked around for a few more times, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, let's go first, these guards... may not want to show up."

"They didn't even accept such a great contribution to protecting the boss?" Zhang Youcai was unbelievable.

Han Ruzi also felt strange, turned around and took a few steps, and suddenly shouted loudly: "It's you! I know it's you!"

Cai Xinghai said in surprise: "Does Your Majesty know... there is only one person?"

Still no one responded, no one showed up.

Han Ruzi shook her head, "I'm just guessing." He remembered that the person was unwilling to show up.

Zhang Youcai was coming to support the emperor, and Han Ruzi asked him to help Cai Xinghai. The three of them walked out of the alley. There were two roads in front of them, one extending south and the other pointing to the east.

Cai Xinghai said: "Walk east, the Taimiao should be there."

"Brother Cai recognizes the way, I'm confused." Zhang Youcai entered the palace in his teens and had only a very small understanding of the palace.

Cai Xinghai nodded, "I once attended the Taimiao Festival. At that time, I was still a border military captain. We entered the Taimiao from the south main gate, and we could lead to Qinzheng Hall from the south gate."

"We have to find a place to rest," said Han Ruzi.

"I'm fine, Your Majesty, this is not a place to stay for a long time. The thief will definitely catch up again." In order to show that he is fine, Cai Xinghai jumped gently, but he grinned in pain and couldn't help but hum.

"There will be no ministers in Qinzheng Hall at this time, and it will be useless if you go there. Let's hide until the morning to talk about what place is here and why is it so deserted?"

Cai Xinghai was not very familiar with the palace. He was calculated by all the directions, so he couldn't tell the details, so he could only shake his head.

The three of them continued to move forward, and Zhang Youcai suddenly patted his forehead with his spare hand, "I remember, isn't this the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace?"

"Huh? The Prince's Mansion is not here." Han Ruzi and his mother lived in the Prince's Mansion for several years, and they remember it very clearly.

"This is the former prince's mansion." Zhang Youcai remembered the rumors in the palace and said endlessly, "The princes in the past lived here. Since Emperor Wu killed two princes, they have been free here. At first, there are still people guarding them, but later..." Zhang Youcai shivered and dared not say anything.

"What happened later?" Han Ruzi asked curiously.

"The two dead princes always come out to haunt, and there is no one here anymore. No wonder the loud voice just now did not attract guards." Zhang Youcai whispered, his voice trembling, "Just...what was the one who rescued the car just now..."

"Nothing is said, but the one who saves the martial arts masters." Cai Xinghai didn't believe in the rumors of haunted, and he couldn't believe it in front of the emperor.

"Let's hide here tonight." Han Ruzi didn't believe in ghosts, but instead thought this was an excellent hiding place.

Zhang Youcai said ummy twice, obviously very reluctant, but he did not dare to object.

Cai Xinghai was about to speak when a figure suddenly walked out of the black wall ahead, his body straight, and it seemed to be floating in the darkness. Zhang Youcai was so scared that he hugged Cai Xinghai's arm tightly.

"Who?" Cai Xinghai shouted.

The figure stopped and said, "It's already late at night, please return to the palace."
