By the time Fang Yiai left the dark and long secret passage with Qizaro on her back, the scorching sun was already high outside ≥-书_Bar(
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around them, what caught their eyes was a patch of tall yellow and green grass, as well as scattered trees. The place where the two climbed out was the only stone hill in the area, and it was full of weeds.
"Where is this place?" Fang Yiai stretched out his hand to pull up the panting Qizaro and asked.
Qizaro looked around, carefully identified it, tried hard to search for information in his mind, and finally said with some uncertainty, "It seems that he has left the royal city."
Fang Yiai rolled her eyes, pointed at the city three to four hundred meters behind her, and said angrily, "Nonsense, I also know that we have left the royal city, and I also know that the royal city is there."
Qizaro was not angry, smiled awkwardly, and said, "The places on the grassland are roughly the same. I haven't been out of the city for a long time, and I was made dizzy by Manganzi and Hongxiao for a long time.
Please forgive me for not being able to recognize the time."
"Can I take a breath first?" After Qizaro finished speaking, he sat on the ground, panting heavily, as if he was extremely tired.
What I saw was that Fang Yiai not only had black lines all over her head, but also the corners of her mouth and eyes were twitching.
Uncle, I carried you on my back all the way, okay? When you climbed out, these dozen steps were stained with your footprints, okay?
I, a person with old strength, am not even tired yet, but you, a person who has only walked a few steps, are already so tired. This makes us, people with old strength, feel so embarrassed!
"This seems to be the north of the city." Qizaro breathed for a while and said.
"The royal city is to the south of here, of course to the north of the city, and it is also north-west of the city." Fang Yiai rolled his eyes again and said.
"You already know why you ask where this place is!" Qizaro glared at Fang Yiai angrily and said.
Fang Yiai opened her mouth and then realized that she had really just asked a nonsense question. Frustrated, she took off the water bag from her waist hung with many things to replenish herself with water. She had sweated a lot along the way.
, all the clothes were sticky and stuck to the body.
Seeing Fang Yiai drinking water, Qizaro swallowed, licked his dry lips and banged Fang Yiai next to him.
Fang Yiai took off another water bag from her waist and handed it to Qizaro.
"Pfft", Qizaro spit out all the water he drank in his mouth, and choked and coughed twice. {/Update uploaded by book friends} said dissatisfiedly, "Can't you give me some water to drink? King Tang
Your Majesty did not let your boy abuse me."
"A dog bites Lu Dongbin—it doesn't know a good heart." Fang Yiai muttered, handed the water bag in his hand to Qi Zaluo, curled his lips, and took the water bag full of sugar and salt water in his hand.
He sighed resentfully, "Sugar and salt water are the best way to replenish physical strength. Whether it is for people who are chronically ill or who sweat excessively, it is the best tonic. What a waste."
After wiping off Qizaro's saliva, Fang Yiai poured a few mouthfuls of sugar and salt water into his mouth, smashing it into his mouth. The taste was salty and sweet, and it was indeed not very tasty.
Qizaro glanced at Fang Yiai, ignored his words, and continued to replenish his fluids.
"Eat something to cushion your stomach." Covering the water bag, Fang Yiai contributed some dry food brought from Wang Ting's kitchen.
After eating and drinking, solving personal problems, and identifying the correct direction, Fang Yiai carried Qizaro far around the royal city and rushed towards the place where Mu Qing and others were hiding.
When Fang Yiai reported his safety, a star of green fireworks bloomed in the sky above the royal court. Many people in the royal court were trying to find the whereabouts of Fang Yiai and Qi Zaluo. Many people saw it, but no one knew it.
What does it mean? Moreover, look at the direction of the fireworks. It is obviously the direction where the courtyards of King Khan and Mrs. Hongxiao are located.
Many people stared at each other, unsure whether this matter was of any use.
It took a long time before someone made a weak suggestion. It would be better to report it. If it is useful or not, let the lady make her own decision. Otherwise, if it is really useful and everyone does not report it, the lady may get angry.
Hearing the four words "Madam is angry", many people's hearts were filled with chills and fear in their eyes, and they shivered violently. The unbearable drowsiness and drowsiness in their bodies also dissipated a lot.
However, when the report came, Mrs. Hongxiao had already fallen into a deep sleep. The maids were afraid of Mrs. Hongxiao getting angry when she woke up from not having enough sleep, so they did not dare to disturb her. They were not kidnapped and could not get Hongxiao.
Mrs. Xiao's preferential treatment.
When Mrs. Hongxiao woke up quietly, the sun had already passed noon.
After simply filling her stomach with horse meat stewed from horses that had been killed at night, Mrs. Hongxiao summoned the generals who searched the city to inquire about the results of the search.
All I got was a sentence, "This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me madam."
"Trash! There are so many living people, how could they disappear out of thin air!" All the teacups and teapots in Mrs. Hongxiao's hand were swept off the table and smashed in front of several generals.
After Mrs. Hongxiao's scolding, one of the generals carefully mentioned the bunch of green fireworks before dawn. He weakly guessed that since the colorful fireworks of the Tang army to send signals appeared in the royal court, were all those people last night?
Sneaked into the royal court?
"Colorful fireworks?" After hearing this, Mrs. Hongxiao looked at the maid next to her with doubts and asked sharply, "Sa Ren, what does General Zhamu mean when he said that the colorful fireworks appearing in the royal court as a message from the Tang Army appeared?"
After listening to General Zhamu's words, Saren's body swayed, and he finished secretly talking, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. Mrs. Hongxiao yelled at him, and he knelt down on the ground, trembling and explained, "Early in the morning.
At that time, someone came to report that they saw a strange green light appearing in the sky above the royal court, and the direction was roughly towards the madam's courtyard and the courtyard of the Khan. However, the madam had already fallen into a deep sleep at that time, and the slaves, slaves, and others did not dare to wake the madam.
."
After Saren finished speaking, the room was completely silent, and only the heavy and suppressed breathing of Mrs. Hongxiao could be heard, obviously trying to calm down the anger in her heart.
What pissed her off the most about Saren's words was that they once again revealed her usual weakness of accumulating too much power!
Zhamu and several generals knelt on the ground and secretly exchanged glances. In the end, Zhamu was pushed out with his eyes.
"Madam, should we find another way to capture the Tang people who have sneaked into the royal city?" Zhamu braced himself and suggested.
"Oh? Tell me, do you have any good ideas?" Mrs. Hongxiao glanced at Saren who was kneeling on the ground, sat down again, and asked Zhamu and the others.
Seeing that Li Zhong and others had returned safely, Arzhan breathed a sigh of relief. He took a wrong look among the people and found no faces. He couldn't help but wonder, "Why haven't you seen...? Is it possible?"
Li Zhong suppressed the entanglement in his heart, shook his head at Arzhan, and said, "My general is safe and sound. Let us take care of ourselves and not be distracted by him."
"Is everything okay?" Arzhan asked in confusion.
"My general sent a signal to report that it was safe. I think he is sure that he will be fine." Li Zhong said with a smile.
After chatting for a few more words, Li Zhong left Alzhan's place and returned to the cellar to rest temporarily.
When Geten delivered medicine to Wu Man and gave the two of them food, he also woke up Li Zhong, who had not been sleeping soundly.
After taking the medicine and giving the medicine bowl to Gecen to take away, Wu Hao and Li Zhong sat opposite each other and ate together.
Thinking of what Li Zhong and A Bin had said at night, Fang Yiai should be able to escape from the royal court at dawn at the latest. He didn't see Fang Yiai at this moment. Wu Man thought that Fang Yiai and Arzhan were together, so he had to ask Li Zhong about the house.
Is Yiai injured? After all, judging from the sound, the battle last night seemed to be quite loud.
Li Zhong stared at the food in front of him and thought about how to answer Wu Hao's words.
Wu Man couldn't help but feel strange when he didn't get an answer from Li Zhong immediately. He raised his eyes and looked at Li Zhong's expression carefully, only to find that there was something strange in Li Zhong's expression.
With a snap, Wu Hao slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the low table, and asked with a cold face, "Tell me! Did something happen to the general? We are the only two in the royal city now. Is it possible that you still want to hide it?"
I?!"
Li Zhong was startled. Seeing that Wu Man was angry, he hurriedly explained, "No, don't be angry first. The general is here safely. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just thinking about how to tell you. Take it easy.
Listen to me and tell you slowly."
Feeling relieved, Wu Hao calmed down, stopped eating, and waited quietly for Li Zhong to speak clearly.
Li Zhong opened his mouth and told Wu Han in detail what happened after the last communication with Wu Han last night, as far as he knew.
"I don't understand. When the general lit the green signal in the royal court to announce that he was safe, is it really safe or is it?" Li Zhong asked tangledly, "But I didn't hear the panic in the royal court announcing that the general's whereabouts had been found.
Cheers?"
"Didn't it mean that King Qizaro Khan has been rescued by the general? Maybe," Wu Hao said thoughtfully, "Maybe Qizaro knows some way to avoid the public eye and successfully escape from the royal court. But Qi Ting is
The place that has been run by three generations of the Zarro family for decades may have some secret passages or secret rooms that no one else knows about."
"It's also possible." Li Zhong's eyes lit up, he looked at Wu Han with a smile, and said in agreement, "Maybe the general has left the royal city by now."
What made Arzhan and Li Zhong Wuhou a little unsure was that until noon, they didn't hear any news about Mrs. Hongxiao ordering the forced purchase of grain.
After dawn, the Royal City remained as usual, except that there were more officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, and the frequency of patrols became more frequent.
Everything was calm, as if last night was just a boring dream, and the noise and disturbance were just everyone's hallucinations.
But the low pressure gradually brewing in the air, as well as the burning smell in the air, are still clearly reminding everyone that something did happen in Wangcheng last night. The red color that reflected the whole night was not a dream.
