Chapter 1346 Armor Seven

King Xiang rushed out of the safe house and found that there was only a small group of imperial guards at the door. He became angry at that time.

"Where's the Royal Forest Army? Let them come over and escort me!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Royal Forest Army camp was bombed by an airship. I'm afraid we won't be able to make it back!"

The eldest eunuch followed behind and replied breathlessly.

There was a corridor after coming out of the safe house. King Xiang had not seen the airship yet. Hearing what the great eunuch said, he quickly ran out of the corridor and looked in the direction of the Royal Guards Camp. Sure enough, he saw two airships floating over the Royal Guards Camp.

The escort on the airship is dumping grenades and kerosene jars downwards!

There were dense crowds of hot air balloons behind them, also flying towards the Royal Guards Camp.

Only then did King Xiang realize that the explosion just now came from the direction of the Royal Forest Army camp!

"My royal guards!"

King Xiang felt that his heart was bleeding.

In order to fight against the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, King Xiang spent a huge amount of money to build the Royal Forest Army.

Just the silver armor worn by the Royal Guards costs over a hundred taels of silver per set, and the weapons used by the Royal Guards are also the best outside the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.

As a result, the Royal Forest Army, which was built at such a high cost, was gone before it could face off against the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau...

"Your Majesty, go quickly, there is an airship coming towards the palace!"

The chief eunuch noticed that King Xiang was in a daze and ran over to pull him away.

King Xiang finally came to his senses and immediately ran toward the backyard with the eunuch.

The eldest eunuch was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise.

At this time, the airship has almost arrived at the palace. Going to the main entrance now is like throwing yourself into a trap. There is a back door in the backyard of the palace. Vegetable farmers and butchers usually use this back door to deliver vegetables and meat to the palace.

Although leaving through the back door is not in line with Prince Xiang's status, he doesn't have to worry about so many things now. Survival is the most important thing.

But when they arrived at the backyard, the eunuch discovered that King Xiang did not go to the back door, but went towards the harem.

The eunuch became anxious when he saw it: "Your Majesty, why are you going to the harem?"

In order to prevent someone from disturbing the palace, there is only one door in the harem, and you can only go in and out through this door. There is not even a dog hole in the rest of the place.

If the airship directly blocked the gate of the harem, Prince Xiang would be trapped inside.

"Don't ask so many questions, just follow me!"

King Xiang rushed into the harem without looking back.

The eldest eunuch stamped his feet and could only follow with his personal entourage.

He originally thought that King Xiang wanted to take some of the noble concubines away when he came back, but he found that after King Xiang arrived at the harem, he ran towards the back garden without looking back, and finally stopped in front of a rockery.

"Someone, move this rock away!"

King Xiang pointed to a huge stone and said.

Several of his followers quickly stepped forward and worked together to move the boulder away.

Then they discovered that there was an iron chain pressed under the boulder.

King Xiang then signaled his followers to pull the iron chain, and then the eunuch and others saw that the rockery on the side had moved away, revealing a dark secret passage.

The big eunuch couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He has been following King Xiang since he was seven or eight years old. He has been with King Xiang longer than any other concubine or child, but he has no idea that there is a secret passage in King Xiang's backyard.

The great eunuch took a closer look at the rusty iron chain, and then looked at the almost rotten wooden supports on the stone wall of the secret passage, and he understood that this secret passage was not built by King Xiang.

This is indeed the case. This secret passage was built by the previous King Xiang specifically for escaping and should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

When Jin Feng sent an airship to bomb Xiangwang City before, he did not use the secret passage, but left through the city gate.

But now the palace is blocked by airships, not to mention the city gate, so Prince Xiang can only leave through the secret passage.

But in this way, the secret passage is completely exposed.

Prince Xiang stood at the door of the secret passage and looked back at the palace with complicated eyes.

He knew that if he left this time, he might never come back.

Seeing that the airship had flown to the entrance of the palace, King Xiang sighed and led the eunuch and a group of personal followers into the secret passage.

A follower lit a torch, and a group of people walked more than a hundred meters by the light of the torch, and then stopped.

King Xiang groped for a while on the stone wall on the right and found a small door, revealing a wrench inside.

Prince Xiang took a deep breath, signaled for one of his followers to step forward and press the wrench.

Boom!

Countless gravel fell down, filling the first fifty meters of the secret passage.

In this way, even if the escorts discover the secret passage, it will be difficult to clear the rubble for a while and pursue them.

This secret passage was very long. King Xiang, accompanied by the eunuch and his personal entourage, walked along the secret passage for more than half an hour before finally seeing a glimmer of light coming from the exit of the secret passage. www.81zw.????m

This secret passage can be said to be one of King Xiang's biggest secrets. Naturally, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

In order to prevent others from being discovered, the exit of the secret passage was not guarded by troops, but was placed in an inconspicuous courtyard outside the city.

The owner of the small courtyard is one of King Xiang's most trusted dead men, and the exit of the secret passage is under the dead man's bed.

The small courtyard is not far from the west wall of Xiangwang City. As soon as the airship and hot air balloon appeared, the dead men discovered it.

Realizing that it would be difficult for King Xiang to escape from the city gate, the dead man hurried back and waited silently on the edge of the bed.

After a while, the dead man heard footsteps coming from the secret passage. He immediately moved all the bedding and straw on the bed, and then waited aside with a long knife in his hand.

If the person coming out of the secret passage is not King Xiang, the dead man will kill him with one blow.

After waiting for a few more minutes, the bed board was pushed away.

"Jia Qi, it's me!"

King Xiang's voice came from the secret passage, and then he threw out half a token.

In fact, the dead man had not seen King Xiang for many years and could not remember his voice. However, only King Xiang knew the code name Jiaqi.

Therefore, the dead man could basically confirm at this time that the person coming should be King Xiang.

But he still took out half a token from his arms and matched it with the half token on the ground.

The broken parts of the two tokens fit together tightly.

The dead man quickly threw away his knife, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Welcome to your majesty, long live your majesty!"

There were sounds of footsteps in the secret passage, but it was not King Xiang who came up, but a few of his followers.

After the personal followers came up, they immediately checked the bedroom and the courtyard.

King Xiang did not come out of the secret passage until his personal followers confirmed that it was safe.

The dead soldier was prostrate on the ground from beginning to end, not even daring to raise his head.

"Jia Qi, I have worked hard for you these years, you can follow me from now on!"

King Xiang glanced at the dead man and spoke slowly.

"Yes!" The dead man straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, I have prepared the clothes. Please condescend to put them on."

King Xiang sighed and said, "Bring it here!"

Since we were escaping for our lives, we definitely couldn't wear dragon robes or imperial guard clothes anymore.

The dead man quickly got up and carried a box out of the secret passage.
