Chapter 34: Pursue the King of Fortune
If you ask who is the most loyal to the Zhu family, it is obviously the eunuch. It is common for eunuchs in the Han and Tang dynasties to control the palace and hold the emperor hostage. However, in the Ming Dynasty, although eunuchs also held great power, they were tamed by the imperial power.
Hundreds of eunuchs in the royal palace went on one after another, using swords and sticks to resist the attack of the Revolutionary Army, but they finally lacked a stick. They lacked in innate yang energy and were weaker than normal people. They were out of breath after a few strokes of the stick. They were far from being an opponent of the Revolutionary Army who had already drawn the bow and turned back. The ones were killed and the ones were captured. They soon collapsed, but they still won precious time for the escape of King Fu and his son.
In the inner palace, corpses were everywhere and blood was flowing. Li Xin led his people into the brightly lit bedroom. Only the palace maids and musicians hugged each other, with fear in their pretty faces, and even some people were crying.
"Where is King Fu?"
Huang Hai asked.
"I don't know, I don't know!"
The palace maids shook their heads in a hurry.
"Hmm? Tell me again, do you think I can't destroy my flowers by slap, right?"
Huang Hai shouted loudly, his eyes shining with a bright green light.
"We really don't know. Eunuch Liu suddenly rushed in and said there was a thief... No, he said someone was attacking the inner city, and then whispered to the prince. The prince and went to the back with the prince and begged the army to spare his life. We are just servants serving the prince. I really don't know and dare not ask."
The palace maids cried and begged.
Huang Hai looked at Li Xin.
Li Xin's eyebrows were tightly furnished.
"Commander-in-Chief, there is no one in Fu'an Palace!"
"Mr. Li, I have searched for the living room, study room and Wenchang Tower, but I have not found the Fu Wang and his son."
All walks of life came to report, but no trace of King Fu and his son was found.
Now, let alone others, even Gao Guiying was restless. After running away from Fu Wang and his son, it was almost a disaster. Even if they were not dealing with Li Xin, they were still on the same line at this time. What's more, if Li Xin couldn't survive, what would Li Lanzhi end up? I was so chilling.
"Mr. Li, the inner palace is so big, surrounded by all sides. Where can King Fu escape?"
The Hongniang asked anxiously.
Li Xin suddenly had an idea. He remembered a rumor. After Li Zicheng broke Luoyang, the Fu Wang family escaped from Luoyang from the sewer of Yanfu Palace. Because Fu Wang was too obese and could not run, he asked the prince Zhu Yousong to run away first. He hid in the secret room of Anguo Temple outside the city, was betrayed by the monk and presented it to Li Chuang.
"I understand. There is a Yanfu Palace in the corner of the inner palace. There is a sewer leading to the outside of the city. King Fu must have drilled into the sewer. Matchmaker, stay, count the financial population, don't kill it indiscriminately. Huang Hai helps you, tell your brothers not to worry, Li Shengde will take some people with me!"
Li Xin quickly ordered.
"Um!"
Hong Niangzi and others nodded.
Li Xin took Li Shengde and dozens of people to run away in the heavy rain.
Yanfu Palace is a Taoist temple. At that time, the wealthy families all had the hobby of practicing Taoist temples in their houses. These Taoist temples were basically presided over by the female crown, just like the Grand View Garden, the small Taoist temple built for Miaoyu, and the Fuwang Palace was no exception.
There are several female Taoist priests in the temple, with good looks and a beautiful body. It is hard to say whether this is a female crown or a concubine raised by the King of Fu to satisfy their evil tastes.
"Say, where is King Fu?"
Li Xin asked.
"We didn't... didn't see it."
Several female Taoist priests were vague and they could tell at a glance.
Li Xin asked again: "Where is the sewer? Take us there."
"ah!"
A female Taoist priest screamed, her face full of panic.
It is obvious that there is no silver here. Li Shengde sneered: "I don't have time to talk to you girls. If you don't say it, don't say it, we have dozens of men here take turns to serve you, and you will be happy even if you die!"
“Oh ~~”
Gao Guiying, who followed him, sighed and advised: "Girls, King Fu has left you and you ran away. Is it worth it to hide his whereabouts? He doesn't treat you as a human being at all. Tell us the entrance of the sewer quickly. I am Li Zicheng's wife Gao Guiying. I can guarantee that as long as you catch King Fu, you will be safe, but if King Fu runs out of Luoyang, no one here can survive. I can't guarantee any crazy actions that will be done before dying."
Gao Guiying's face was calm and her eyes were sincere. Several female Taoist priests hesitated. After looking at each other, one of them said, "Madam Gao, we believe in you and hope you don't break your promise. The father and son of Fu, the princess and the princess and the princess and the two eunuchs entered the sewer. The entrance was in the woodshed. Come with us."
The female Taoist priest led the way. Sure enough, there was a stone slab in the corner of the woodshed. When she opened the stone slab, it was a big dark hole. Li Xin left four people outside to guard the female Taoist priest and ordered that the female Taoist priest not be violated, so she led people into the entrance of the cave.
The sewer is made of bluestone, with a stone staircase leading to the bottom, which is vaguely slanted downward, with a space of about one meter and five meters. The sewage from the entire royal palace is discharged from the sewer. It is raining again, and half a foot deep sewage accumulates at the bottom, emitting a strong rotten smell.
Through the light of the torch, you can see that the walls are covered with gray-black moss, greasy, and some indescribable objects floating in the water, which is very ugly. The group of people hugged their waists and walked forward quickly in the cold sewage, and Li Xin also felt sick from his chest and abdomen.
On the contrary, Gao Guiying and the people who followed him may have been used to living a poor life and looked indifferent. Gao Guiying even asked, "What should I do if King Fu is going to run away?"
Li Xin pondered: "If God really doesn't help me, then we will pack up the money from the royal palace and go out of the sewer..."
As he was talking, Gao Guiying suddenly screamed and hugged Li Xin's waist tightly from behind. Li Xin saw a group of mice being alarmed and running around along the walls of the sewer, but what he cared even more was the softness that was tightly attached to his back!
‘Damn it, this woman is so delicious. Li Zicheng is so lucky!’
Li Xin had a strong urge to push Gao Guiying down. First, he had not been involved in women for two months since he traveled through time. Now he suddenly had a close-range contact with Gao Guiying. It is impossible for him to not be ready to move.
Second, he was over forty in his previous life. When a man of this age looked at a woman from bottom to top, first look at his figure, then look at his face. Gao Guiying's figure was so popular. Although his face was not a stunning beauty, he was not ashamed to take it out without any shame.
However, he knew that Gao Guiying was a thorny thorn, and if he was not careful, he would have to fall into her hands. Before his strength recovered, he should not make any decisions about her. What's more, the Hongniang is also a jealous person. If he really wants to make Gao Guiying, he will definitely make a big fuss.
Therefore, Li Xin did not move further, just let out a whine and said in surprise: "Huh? What is so soft on my back?"
"ah?"
Gao Guiying was embarrassed and suddenly let go of her hand. Her face turned red and she wished she could get into the sewage.
The people following behind looked at each other and said intimately that the word "Person" was really different from that of ordinary people!
Li Xin smiled in front again: "Madam Gao, I didn't expect that you are a female leader and are afraid of mice. Actually, I feel relieved. Even you can't adapt to it. Thinking that King Fu is pampering. If you enter the sewer, you may feel weak and you can't walk. Let's hurry up, King Fu should be not far ahead."
Gao Guiying was pitting her head without saying a word. The group accelerated their speed, and the splashes were stumbled.
"Commander-in-Chief, there is a light!"
Suddenly, Li Shengde shouted in surprise.
Just after turning a corner, I saw several torches emitting bright light nearly ten feet ahead. Under the flashing fire, six figures suddenly appeared.
"Just ahead, hurry up!"
Li Xin was very energetic and waved his hand and shouted.
Chapter completed!
