Wang Jingzhi led the way, Zhang Xiaowu walked second, and the personal guards followed behind him. Prince Chenghua and Gu Yong were protected in the center of the team. Every tenth person held a torch and moved forward along the secret passage.
As we walked, someone marked the ground so that people behind could see the road clearly.
There were many traps in the tunnel. Fortunately, Wang Jingzhi marked all the traps without reservation. The soldiers were eager to escape, but they didn't pay much attention to the traps.
Wang Jingzhi said. "Walking along here is the Yixin Palace."
Zhang Xiaowu was stunned for a moment. This Yixin Palace was the place where the emperor rested when he was sick. It was also one of the few palaces that was not burned down. Just because there were no trees or tall buildings around Yixin Palace, he never expected that Yixin Palace would be destroyed.
There are also such institutions underground.
Wang Jingzhi said cautiously: "Your Majesty is not actually unconscious."
"What?" Zhang Xiaowu was stunned at first, and then it became clear that the Great Virtue Emperor was dead. No matter what he did, it was in the past. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Wang Jingzhi continued: "After he was in coma for a few days, he woke up. At the same time, he found me through the secret passage and asked me to find a substitute for him..."
"You mean, he pretended to be comatose for half a year?"
"It's eight months."
"Why?"
"Because he is worried that you will take away the throne."
"Absurd!" Zhang Xiaowu was angry and funny, "I would seize his empire? Why should I seize the Xuanyuan family's empire?"
Wang Jingzhi said: "As the old saying goes, a common man is not guilty of having a jade in his possession."
Zhang Xiaowu had to admit that power can make people lose their way. Wasn't he himself also lost by the power of power? Otherwise, how could he relax his vigilance and give Shen Lindong an opportunity?
Wang Jingzhi said: "In the past two years, His Majesty has become more and more abnormal. His behavior is crazy, and he is close to villains and far away from gentlemen. If it weren't for the efforts of the Right Prime Minister to maintain it, I'm afraid there would have been problems in this court. But he doesn't dare to touch your territory.
, especially my requests from you, I accept almost all of them because I am afraid that you will rebel."
Zhang Xiaowu sneered.
Wang Jingzhi suddenly whispered: "Commander! If you go out, will you take charge of the world?"
Zhang Xiaowu said without even thinking: "No."
Wang Jingzhi asked curiously: "Why?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "The destiny of the Holy Han Dynasty has not yet stopped."
"What do you mean..." Wang Jingzhi suddenly said: "If the commander-in-chief has any instructions, I am willing to do my best."
Zhang Xiaowu couldn't remember how long the secret passage was and how complicated the road was. He followed Wang Jingzhi closely and walked for half an hour without knowing it. Wang Jingzhi asked everyone if they needed a rest, and Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and said where they needed to rest.
"It's important to escape," Wang Jingzhi laughed and continued to move forward.
Everyone came to a spacious platform. This was a hall that could accommodate hundreds of people. In the center was a skeleton. Everyone walked over and saw that it was a person who had committed suicide. His muscles and skin had long since rotted into white bones, but
Clothes and armor are vaguely visible. Zhang
Xiaowu looked at Wang Jingzhi. Wang Jingzhi squatted on the ground and sighed and said: "This person is Sima Sifang. He was once the deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei. Later, he conspired to overthrow the Shenghan Dynasty and was blocked by me here. He should be killed here.
He was so hungry that he finally drew his sword and killed himself."
"He doesn't know the exit?"
"He only knows one." Wang Jingzhi said, "He thought there was only one exit from the underground palace, but in fact there are two exits from the underground palace. He only knew one. I blocked the exit, so he could only starve to death. Speaking of which, all directions
He is a talented person, but he was too reckless, tried to overthrow the Holy Han Empire, and tried to shake the tree with his own efforts, so he ended up like this."
"He is an ambitious person, but his ambition is misplaced." Zhang Xiaowu said. He said in his heart that even if he had the power of the world like me, he could not easily overthrow the Xuanyuan Dynasty of the Holy Han Empire, and he did not dare to try to defy heaven.
And go.
After everyone took a drink of water, they continued to move forward. Then Wang Jingzhi took everyone to a narrower place, where people were only allowed to pass sideways. Zhang Xiaowu and others walked along the narrow passage for a while, and then came to a more narrow place.
It's a spacious place, but there is no road here anymore, it's a dead end.
Zhang Xiaowu asked in confusion: "There is no way to go here...?"
Wang Jingzhi smiled and shook his head, pointing to the top of his head and saying: "The way out is right here." Then he ordered a few strong men to dig up the loose soil above his head. After several strong men dug for a while, countless dust fell down, and everyone was disgraced.
Then Wang Jingzhi climbed out of the cave first, and Zhang Xiaowu followed him and found that this was the warehouse of a private house. Wang Jingzhi introduced that this was his home. At this time, Wang Jingzhi's wife and daughter also ran away carrying kitchen knives.
When he arrived at the warehouse, he saw Wang Jingzhi and greeted him quickly. Wang Jingzhi introduced Zhang Xiaowu's identity, and the two immediately knelt down and worshiped. Wang Jingzhi said that he had three daughters. The eldest daughter and the second daughter were already married. These three daughters had not yet left the court and would stay with him in the future.
Recruit a son-in-law.
Other soldiers climbed out of the hole one after another, and soon everyone crowded into the small courtyard. Zhang Xiaowu asked everyone to go to the street to prepare. Wang Jingzhi's wife and daughter were also a little scared, and they vaguely felt something. He comforted them, and then
Let them prepare some food and hot water.
Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "I never thought that the second exit of the palace's secret passage would be your home."
"It's not my home, it's the home of the past Jin Yiwei commanders. All the Jin Yiwei commanders have lived here to guard the secrets." Wang Jingzhi said helplessly, "I would like to have a big house and hire countless servants, but it's a pity that the system doesn't allow it.
May."
"All the commanders of the Golden Guards in past generations are here?"
"They all live here."
"It's a quiet place."
"In addition to being quiet, I am guarding the exit of the palace."
The soldiers came out one after another. Zhang Xiaowu ordered the soldiers and horses. There were a total of 2,400 people, and some remained in the palace. Zhang Xiaowu ordered: "Everyone, please go back to Jixiangfang with me first. There are 800 guards there. Join the guards."
I’ll make plans later.”
"Here."
The army then rushed to Jixiangfang, and the journey was smooth. After arriving at Jixiangfang, the eight hundred guards immediately met up with them. Everyone received weapons and swords again, and took the opportunity to eat something to replenish their physical strength.
The captain of the handsome guard was Zhao Suo. He stepped forward anxiously and first reported: "Sir, my wife has been sent outside the city, but I saw many troops entering the city, but I don't know what happened?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Shen Lindong rebelled. He annexed Xia Ming's army and attracted some of the city army and the dog barbarians from the Biyan Camp."
Wang Jing on the side spoke carefully, and Zhao Suo was angry and surprised at the same time: "This Shen Lindong actually rebelled, it is simply unreasonable! Wait until I take off his head!"
Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and said: "This matter is not urgent. We will immediately go to the outer city station to rescue Xia Ming."
