The huge palace was blocked tightly. When entering the palace gate, Lin Haoming ordered not to kill the elderly, weak, women and children, so most of these palace people were taken care of in several places in the palace.
As a princess, Concubine Xi is naturally easily recognized, but she still dressed up, which shows that she should have the ability to do this. Sure enough, Chen Tie went to search for an hour, but all the palace maids had seen it but couldn't find it. However, Wei Qian must have found it when he saw the overall situation.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming looked at General Manager Han who was still kneeling in fear, and suddenly thought of something, so he smiled and called Chen Tie over and said a few words in his ear.
Chen Tie was a little surprised when he heard this, but he soon went to do it. Seeing that someone left, Wei Qian asked curiously: "What trick did Marshal Lin apply?"
"This Chief Manager Han can dress up as a woman. I think it is possible that Concubine Xi pretends to be a man. And compared to the Chief Manager of the Interior Department who walks everywhere, a concubine knows fewer people, so I asked Chen Tie to go and let the eunuchs take off all their clothes." Lin Haoming explained.
"Marantor Lin, you're a bad idea." Wei Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but not long after, Chen Tiezhen came back with a young eunuch.
"Empress Xi." When the people got closer, Jiang Heng recognized him. Although he had seen him twice at the palace banquet during the Chinese New Year, his temperament could not be concealed. Moreover, even if the eunuch dressed up, if the disguise was removed, he would be considered beautiful and charming.
"Are you Concubine Xi?" Lin Haoming and Wei Qian looked at it with great interest.
"What Concubine Xi, now it's like this. The little woman Fang Zhirou has seen several generals." The woman bowed openly, not treating herself as the princess who lost her country at all.
"Haha, you are interesting." Wei Qian couldn't help laughing.
"I don't mean much, but there is still a little value. I wonder who this young master is?" asked Concubine Xi.
"Wei Qian." Wei Qian replied directly.
"It turns out to be Mr. Wei. This time, the young master defeated the capital. I think the world will be yours in the future. The little girl will write books to her father to let her follow the trend." Fang Zhirou said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"You are indeed smart. Do you know what secret passages are in the palace?" Lin Haoming also asked at this time.
When Fang Zhirou heard this, she naturally understood that the other party must have not caught Zhang Xiao, otherwise she would not have found her and asked this. However, she didn't know that, so she could only shake her head and said, "The little girl has been in the palace for less than three years, and she has seen Zhang Xiao less than thirty times. How could she know these things?"
"In less than three years, I have seen Zhang Xiao less than thirty times. Including some celebrations, wouldn't that the pseudo-monarch see you less than five times a year?" Wei Qian seemed a little disbelief.
"He came almost once a month in the first year, but then he didn't come much. After all, apart from my identity, I was not outstanding in terms of appearance, and I was unwilling to please him. After all, he was two years older than my father, so I didn't feel comfortable looking at him." Fang Zhirou was not polite at all. Not only did she not care about the emperor, who was her husband, nor did she care about the opinions of others.
Those present thought about it. Zhang Xiao was already forty-seven, and the Concubine Xi in front of him was only twenty at most. To some extent, she was a miserable person. If she wasn't smarter, she might have ended up like other women in Jingtai Palace, but her ability to escape also means that it was indeed messy here last night.
Seeing Lin Haoming and others not speaking, Fang Zhirou said again: "Although I don't meet him much, I have to live in this deep palace, and I still know his personality. This person is not the kind of extreme person and doesn't care about other people's feelings. However, it is also vicious to take action. He ordered someone to summon him last night. I just thought something might happen, but I didn't expect that he would kill the concubines and princesses. Several generals were looking for people instead of searching outside, which means that no one ran out last night. He felt that people should be here, or there was a secret passage in the palace. According to my understanding of that person, he liked to do things more and more. He did this in one go."
When Lin Haoming heard this, he suddenly realized something and immediately said: "Pang Erniu, take your people to search this Jingtai Palace again."
"Yes!" Pang Erniu immediately took the order.
Hundreds of soldiers rushed into the ruins that had just been extinguished. In just a quarter of an hour, some soldiers shouted, "General, there is a secret passage."
Lin Haoming walked over and found that it was really a secret passage, pressed down by some furniture that had been burned into coke. If he didn't look for it, he wouldn't be able to see it, but if he searched carefully, he would have nowhere to hide.
"Fang Zhirou, you have made a contribution. I can forgive you any guilt now." Wei Qian said happily.
Lin Haoming looked at Wei Qian. This woman was young after all, and although she was not a stunning woman like Fang Zhirou, she had a special status and a personality. For a person like Wei Qian, her appearance was no longer the most important.
Of course, Lin Haoming didn't think about this much at this time, but went to the secret passage and found that the secret passage was all the way down. After entering, it was pitch black, but it was not stuffy, and there was obviously a ventilation opening.
After walking for a while, the secret passage gradually became wider, but at this moment, an arrow suddenly shot from the front. Pang Erniu, who was in the front, screamed, and he was obviously already shot.
"Sword and Shield Hand." Seeing this, Lin Haoming directly ordered the soldiers to hold down the shield and take out Pang Erniu, who had an arrow on his shoulder.
The people above were even more happy when they saw Pang Erniu being injured, after all, it means that there are really people below.
With the sword and shield hand, I quickly advanced step by step. At this time, I heard someone shouting inside: "I am the Princess Jingtai, the Great Xia Kingdom."
After hearing this, Lin Haoming, who was following the sword and shield, immediately knew that the person who spoke was Zhang Xiao's queen, but now she no longer regards herself as a queen. After all, she can only rely on her identity as the Great Xia Kingdom to survive.
"Princess, is Zhang Xiao here?" Lin Haoming couldn't kill the princess of Xia directly, so he asked directly.
"He is dead. When you come down, you committed suicide. Who are you? I have to wait for the person who can speak to come." Lin Haoming soon heard the cold voice of the Queen Yue King. He didn't seem to care about Zhang Xiao's death, or she cared more about herself.
Lin Haoming followed him and was silent for a moment, then said, "I am the Marshal of the Northern Army, Lin Haoming. Princess, please give up resisting, otherwise don't blame the sword for being eyeless."
"Since it's Marshal Lin, please come here." The other side hesitated for a moment and agreed.
