So how did Zhu Yuluo escape?

Did Li Laiheng's men deliberately tie him loosely when binding him, or did Zhu Yusuo have some special escape skills?

Li Yan looked at the ball of hemp rope and was puzzled.

Speaking of which, although he was a scholar from a gentry family, in his early years he liked to travel around the world with a sword and got to know some strange people.

Among them there are strange people who can free themselves from the bondage.

It's just that no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think Zhu Yuyao looked like such a strange person.

So, is it possible that Zhu Yuluo disappeared out of thin air?

Thinking of this, Li Yan immediately ordered his soldiers to call his wife Hong Niang over.

Hong Niangzi is a martial artist who performs rope skills, and has more experience in this field than Li Yan.

Not long after, a dashing woman wearing exquisite leather armor, a bright red cape, and holding a long whip came into the tent.

The person who came was none other than the Red Lady.

She frowned and spoke first: "Why didn't you follow Wang Pocheng, but you are here?"

Li Yan said: "Princess Daming has disappeared. King Chuang ordered me to find out."

"There is such a big battle to fight, and he actually sent you to investigate the case?" As she said this, the red lady thought of something and said, "Isn't it that old cow who is causing trouble again?"

Li Yan did not answer, but pulled the red lady to the ball of hemp rope, changed the subject and said: "Look at this hemp rope, it has not been untied or cut off, can you see how the princess was rescued?

"

The red lady changed her attention, picked up the hemp rope and looked at it carefully.

"The hemp rope is tied with a tight knot, so the princess must not have escaped on her own... Could it be that the rope was tied loosely on purpose? But even if she broke free from the rope, she would not be able to leave the tent and escape from the camp."

After listening to the matchmaker's words, Li Yan knew that another situation had been ruled out.

Even if there is a strange person who can untie himself, the rope must be untieable, and it is impossible for a dead knot to be untied by itself - in fact, the knot has not been untied.

At this time, the red lady said again: "I have heard that there is a miraculous skill in the world called 'Bone Shrinking Kung Fu'. People who practice it can shrink the body of an adult to the size of a child. Could it be that the princess knows this miraculous skill?"

"Is there such a miraculous power?"

Li Yan was surprised when he heard this.

But he still didn't think Zhu Yuluo was someone capable of such miraculous feats.

Even if she could, she would still need help from others to escape from this camp.

Therefore, there must be a traitor in the camp!

···

"Kill!"

Boom boom boom!

The sound of shelling and shouts of killing continued to come, and Chongzhen could hear it even when he was in Wuying Palace.

"Report——" A soldier in Jinyi rushed outside the palace with Yanchen, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, Xuanwumen is in emergency!"

Chongzhen stood in the Wuying Hall, with his back to the door, silent.

"Report——" Another soldier in Jinyi, with blood on his body and gunpowder smoke on his face, knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, Desheng Gate cannot be defended!"

Chongzhen is like a stone statue, motionless.

Wang Chengen came with a group of people, knelt on the ground and cried and begged: "Long live the Lord, the capital can't be defended, let's break out?"

"Breakout?" Chongzhen turned around and smiled miserably, "Where to break out?"

"Go south." Wang Chengen said without hesitation, "We still have half of the Ming Dynasty in the south. Your Majesty will definitely be able to reorganize the country and revitalize the Ming Dynasty when he goes there."

After learning some things from Hao Guangming, Chongzhen now sees the situation more clearly than he did historically.

He looked up at the roof and said: "Those people in the south are not of the same mind as me. What's more, now that the intruders are besieging the city, I have no soldiers and can't go there... I don't want to be caught by the intruders and become Li Zicheng's prisoner."

"

Wang Chengen wanted to persuade him again, but another Qianhu in Jinyi who was covered in blood and injured came running, crying: "Your Majesty, Chongwen Gate has been breached... The intruder got a rare treasure from somewhere, and it can be used."

A strong light suddenly shone on the top of the city at night. Our troops could not see anything and were panicked. They asked them to use ladders. Lu Gong's chariot workers injured the top of the city..."

Hearing this, Chongzhen, who seemed to have seen through life and death, suddenly walked over quickly, grabbed the collar of Qianhu, and asked urgently: "Have you seen the princess?"

Princess?

Qianhu was stunned by the drink.

Then he remembered the time when the princess went to negotiate with Li Chuang, and thought that Chongzhen was worried that the intruder would kill the princess.

However, in this current situation, the princess's situation cannot be much better at all.

Finally, Qianhu just answered honestly: "The general has never seen the princess."

Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Then he drove the others out of Wuying Palace, leaving only Wang Chengen, saying: "Go quickly and find Fang Zhenghua, Gao Wencai, and Liu Lishun. I have an oral message that I want to pass on to them secretly."

Although Wang Chengen still wanted to persuade Chongzhen to break out of the encirclement, he also knew that he should take Chongzhen's order first, so he immediately agreed and went to work.

But Chongzhen stopped him again and asked, "Have you already arranged the arrangements for the three princes to be hidden among the people?"

Wang Chengen said: "Old slave has already made arrangements, but those families were chosen in a hurry. I can't guarantee whether they will betray the prince after the intruders enter the city."

At the end of the speech, Wang Chengen looked guilty.

Chongzhen sighed: "I know you tried your best. As for what will happen to them later, just leave it to fate. Okay, hurry up and send someone to find those people."

"yes."

After Wang Chengen left, the shouts of killing quickly approached the palace.

Apparently, the intruders had already entered the inner city.

The Ming army defending the city was originally a ragtag group with weak combat effectiveness. Without the city wall to rely on, they were no match for the intruders.

However, the inner city is very large, and there are tall mansions and luxurious mansions everywhere, so many of the intruders who came from rogue bandits were confused when they came in.

Although Li Zicheng and other high-ranking generals ordered that they were not allowed to rob or disturb the people after entering the city, in the eyes of most of the invading soldiers, the people living in the inner city were not the people, but the officials who in the past were most fond of ransacking their homes, beheading and even cooking them alive.

Gentry, rich man.

Therefore, after entering the inner city, these intruders did not completely lose restraint and committed murder and arson, but they also dispersed into countless small groups and were led by their leaders to take advantage of them.

In addition, there were still many Ming army soldiers in the inner city, and the Ohu guards were resisting, so the intruders were unable to invade the imperial city and palace immediately.

Some Jinyi soldiers were sent by Wang Chengen and found Fang Zhenghua, Liu Lishun and Gao Wencai one after another.

At that time, Fang Zhenghua was leading a group of eunuchs and Jinyi soldiers to fight with an intruder on the street.

He had originally made up his mind to die in this battle, but when he heard the emperor's urgent message, he retreated while fighting, broke away from the battle, and went to the palace.

Gao Wencai arrived home after the city was broken. Seeing that he could not break out with his family and was unwilling to surrender, Li Chuang had betrayed Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty, so he prepared to burn himself and sacrifice his country with his family.

When the messenger felt that although the fire in the Gao family was not burning, he was being targeted by a group of intruders. They recognized Gao Wencai as a Ming army general and were unwilling to surrender, so they attacked the Gao family.

When Gao Wencai learned about Chongzhen's edict and saw that the intruders were about to break into the house, he said to his son Gao Shengqi: "My son, our Gao family has been loyal and loyal for generations. Now that His Majesty has issued an edict, our Gao family cannot respond."

You go with them to the palace, continue to serve the Ming Dynasty on behalf of your father, and be loyal to His Majesty!"

"Dad, I won't leave!"

Gao Shengqi was seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and burly, and had learned a lot of good martial arts. Under such circumstances, no one could take him away by force.

"Go!" Gao Wencai shouted angrily.

Gao Wencai's wife looked at Gao Shengqi kindly and said, "Wencai, let's go and live a good life."

After saying that, he also picked up a knife and ran towards the courtyard with Gao Wencai - the intruder had already broken in!

"Dad! Mom!"

Gao Shengqi Hu's eyes widened and he was about to rush to fight the intruder.

Several soldiers in Jinyi hurriedly hugged him, and the leader Xiaoqi said: "Mr. Gao, don't let your parents die in vain. If you want to avenge them, live a good life!"

After saying that, he rushed into the courtyard to stop the intruder.

Gao Shengqi saw his parents hacked to death by the intruders one after another, and his eyes were splitting with tears, but in the end he was unwilling to retreat with several Jinyi soldiers.

On the other side, Liu Lizhun was preparing to hang himself with his family so that they could die for the country.

Knowing the intention of Jinyi's troops, Liu Lishun said to his son Liu Xiaolian, who did not want to die: "Your Majesty is sending you an edict at this time, and you must have something important to entrust to you. I'm old and I'm afraid I won't be able to help your Majesty much. Xiaolian, you go ahead."

"

Liu Xiaolian is in his twenties and still unmarried.

His eyes were red. Hearing this, he did not want to live or die. Instead, he looked at his little sister Liu Weitong, who was only ten years old, and said stubbornly: "I want to take my little sister with me."

Liu Lishun nodded.

"Dad! Dad!"

Liu Weitong was picked up and taken away by Liu Xiaolian, crying and struggling, but eventually disappeared from Liu Lishun's sight.

Liu Lishun sighed, looked at the smoke and fire in the night sky, and said to the remaining family members: "Let's go on the road too."

After saying that, he threw up Bai Ling...
