Chapter 73 Lost
Zhuang Wan was looking at the railing when someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder.
As soon as she turned around, she was pulled into the room.
"It's me!" Yan Cheng said.
Zhuang Wan saw the two maids in the room falling to the ground, probably knocked unconscious, while Yan Cheng was dressed in women's clothing, disguised as the maid.
I have to say, he is quite enchanting when he pretends to be a woman. But the clothes that are one size too small and the face that is smeared like a monkey's butt are a little bit eye-catching.
So she just burst out laughing: "Where did you get so many clothes? One moment you dress up as a merchant, the next moment you dress up as a woman."
"Stop asking so many questions and leave quickly!" Yan Cheng urged.
"What about the others? They are still imprisoned in..."
"I can't control that much anymore!" Yan Cheng said, "If I hadn't pretended to be a prisoner and lured the guards over, I wouldn't have been able to get in so easily."
Although Zhuang Wan knew that Yan Cheng's capabilities were limited, she really didn't want those more than a hundred lives to be lost in vain, "How could you ignore it! They will be used as sacrifices tomorrow."
"The cell is heavily guarded, with copper and iron walls. It's hard to get in." Yan Cheng said, "But don't worry, I will come back and try to save them after I send you to a safe place. Okay, hurry up and wait for the guards.
Once you come back, you won’t be able to leave.”
Zhuang Wan nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
At this time, two guards rushed up. Yan Cheng killed one of them with one sword, then picked up the guard's knife and handed it to Zhuang Wan.
Zhuang Wan took it, thinking that Yan Cheng probably thought she was very powerful because she killed someone in the canyon last time, or she said that she was not useless, so he took her feelings into consideration at all times, and even took the initiative to give her the weapon.
.
But the fact is...she really doesn't want to fight. Isn't it good for everyone to live in peace? If possible, she just wants to be a quiet little princess, protected by the knight Yan Cheng.
While she was thinking this, she knocked out a guard who wanted to attack her from behind.
Sigh... I feel so tired!
But as more and more guards besieged them, she had to go all out to prevent Yan Cheng from being distracted by her.
Zhamu originally thought that Li Daniu would definitely come to save people tonight, but he never thought that what he wanted to save was the people in the cell. But when he took people to the cell, he discovered that his target was still the bamboo building. He was so successful that he attacked the people in the east and west.
He was playing around in circles.
He angrily led his men back to the bamboo tower. He saw the two men fighting with the guards from a distance, and ordered: "Catch those two thieves."
Seeing this, Yan Cheng pulled Zhuang Wan: "Okay, let's go!"
The two of them ran as fast as they could, and Zhamu followed them with a group of guards.
He nocked an arrow and aimed at the two running people. Upon seeing this, Yan Cheng quickly protected Zhuang Wan, and the two of them threw themselves forward and fell to the ground. Although they were not hit by the arrow, the arrow passed by and Yan Cheng's arm
There was still a gash in it.
Seeing the blood pouring from the wound, Zhuang Wan panicked and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay! Let's go!" Yan Cheng stood up and pulled her to continue running.
At this time, the sky was turning white and the sky was getting brighter. The two of them ran to a cave door. Yan Cheng quickly eliminated the guards and ran in with Zhuang Wan.
Inside is a spacious stone wall passage, illuminated by oil lamps on both sides.
Zhuang Wan said in surprise: "Is this the exit of Nanyi Kingdom?"
Yan Cheng nodded: "However, there is more than just this exit."
Zhamu and others chased them to the cave gate and were about to continue the pursuit when a soldier stumbled over and reported: "General Zhamu, it's not good! The Yan State army has arrived in Honggu and is cutting down the blood-leaf fern at the moment. I'm afraid it won't happen soon."
Attack through the cave entrance."
Zhamu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then ordered: "Guard the entrances everywhere, and I will report to the king immediately!"
…
"They don't seem to be chasing us anymore."
Zhuang Wan glanced behind her and said to Yan Cheng, "Let's take a break first and treat your injury."
"It's okay!" Yan Cheng tore off a piece of cloth from his body and bandaged his arm hastily.
"Let's get out quickly. This cave is connected in all directions. They might come in through other entrances."
Zhuang Wan asked: "There are so many roads in this cave, which one should we take?"
Yan Cheng said: "No matter which route, the exit is the valley filled with red mist."
Zhuang Wan was surprised: "You mean the entrance to Nanyi Kingdom is in that valley?"
"right!"
"No wonder they want to lure us there to ambush us."
Yan Cheng pulled her: "Let's leave quickly!"
The two of them walked forward along a passage, and soon there was a light ahead.
"The exit has arrived!"
The two of them quickened their pace and ran out of the cave entrance, but what they saw was not the red sky, but a vast expanse of white. Obviously, this passage led to somewhere in the foggy mountains.
Zhuang Wan asked: "What should I do?"
Yan Cheng said: "It's too risky to go back now. Now I can only go into the foggy mountains to find a way out."
Zhuang Wan thought that even if the two of them were trapped in the foggy mountains for a few days, they would not starve to death due to the abundant wild fruits inside. And if they turned back, they might just meet the pursuers.
"Okay! Let's go!"
"But let's mark the way along the way so that we can find the way out of the mountain faster."
As he spoke, Yan Cheng took off his lady's coat, cut it into strips of cloth, and hung strips of cloth on the branches of the tree every few steps. When the strips of cloth were gone, he drew some eye-catching symbols on the trunk.
The two of them walked in the same direction for an unknown amount of time. Zhuang Wan spotted the cloth strip on the branch in front and said, "We seem to be walking back again."
Yan Cheng raised his head and looked at the vast white surroundings. He didn't know anything about the east, west, north, and south.
"It seems that without a guide car, it will be difficult for us to go out."
"Then let's go back and find another way out!" Zhuang Wan said.
"That's all it can do!"
The two were about to walk back when they suddenly heard movement not far away, like a group of people running.
Zhuang Wan said nervously: "Are they chasing us?"
"Shh!" Yan Cheng motioned her to shut up and whispered, "Come forward and take a look."
The two of them hid behind a bush, and saw a dozen guards in Nanyi costumes forming a circle, protecting the fat man inside who ran towards them in a panic, looking like a mess.
He is running for his life.
"That fat man is the King of Nanyi." Zhuang Wan said, "Has the army already invaded? We must not let him escape."
"Don't worry, you can't run away!" Yan Cheng clenched his fists. Not to mention Mo's many evil intentions, this thief deserves to die just because he dares to covet Zhuang Wan!
"Stay still!" After Yan Cheng said that, he jumped up and raised his sword to block their way.
Motu pretended to be calm: "Who are you?"
"The person who will take your life!" Yan Cheng turned the hilt of his sword and flashed the cold light, then fought with the guards.
Zhuang Wan saw that these guards were all very skilled. They were obviously different from those outside the bamboo building. They should be the exclusive guard team of King Nanyi. It would be difficult for Yan Cheng to deal with these guards by himself and get close to King Nanyi.
When Motu saw someone holding Yan Cheng back, he quickly ran away with the rest of the guards.
If he were allowed to escape, there would be endless trouble.
Zhuang Wan didn't care about anything else and quickly jumped out to help Yan Cheng: "Leave this to me, and you go chase the fat man."
