As soon as he ducked into the secret door, a noisy shout came from behind. The night pearls everywhere - no, it should be lights - all lit up in an instant. How could there be so many and so many that could be extinguished and lit?
Night Pearl?
Someone shouted, "Oh no, General Bai, Tian Zong ran away!" The sound of chaotic footsteps came from behind.
Without thinking much, I walked through the stone door and found myself in a familiar corridor. The carvings on one side opened with a bang, and a group of heavily armed soldiers spotted me from outside the door, shouting, "He's here!"
rushed over
I faced them and rushed over wearing a bath towel. I knew that the door where no one came out must lead to the hall with the pool. If I wanted to go out, I had to go up to them.
In the blink of an eye, there was a close fight, and with the muffled sound of iron fists hitting their bodies, more than a dozen people fell to the ground. The swords and guns in their hands dropped and clinked on the stone floor. But there was already an extra thing in my hand.
long knife
Like a whirlwind rushing through the carved wooden door, the pursuers behind me also arrived, and every thick baize curtain in front of me fluttered, and the ambush soldiers rushed out from inside.
I rushed past them and ran towards the gate, kicking on each cloth curtain. Some people were kicked in before they came out.
My suspicions were confirmed. As soon as I entered the six passages through the gate, some of the fan-shaped halls sandwiched in between were specially used to hide soldiers. This palace seemed to be careless, but in fact it was not.
My feet were bare, and there was a cold stone slab under my feet. I was not willing to fight, I just wanted to rush out of the gate quickly. How could these people stop me?
From the time they were discovered to the reaction of the soldiers outside, in a short period of time, the entire corridor was crowded with swarming sergeants. Some of Bai Jing's cronies were caught in the crowd. I could quickly distinguish them from the crowd.
Come, because I can understand what they are shouting.
There were more people who should be locals, and their bodies seemed to be more flexible than their commanders. They saw that the people in front were knocked down in an instant, and they all raised their spears to form a human wall. They only needed to delay for a moment.
With my impact speed, I will be in trouble when the pursuers from behind come up.
With a loud shout, he jumped into the air, and the spear under his feet immediately stood up. His long knife pushed aside more than a dozen spear points under his body. Taking advantage of the gap, he stepped on someone's head, and then jumped up and down.
Exit the palace gate
From the time I was discovered to the time I rushed out, it only took a moment. The silent and majestic palace that was originally hidden in the dark night became a mess behind me.
There was no one on the street. In the middle of the night, the residents had already fallen asleep, so the noise coming from the palace was very jarring.
It was the person who was ordered by Bai Jing to invite Qinghua or Honghua (they should be the names of the two women in colorful clothes). He found an abnormality in the dormitory. I wonder how furious Bai Jing would be when he got the news.
appearance
Several stone houses on the street were lit with lights. The residents didn't know where this sudden chaos came from. There was a sleepy-eyed man looking into the street from the crack of the half-open door. I looked at me from in front of their door.
I ran past like a gust of wind, and the door slammed shut behind me.
I ran past a street corner and came face to face with a group of soldiers on night patrol. They saw me and rushed over shouting. I couldn't understand what they were shouting. It was probably something like "Who is it! Stop!"
As soon as he turned around and ran to another alley, not far away, as if emerging from the ground, a dozen more people rushed towards him.
Before they found me, I jumped up to the ridge of a house. The stone edges on the tiles hurt the soles of my feet, but I couldn't care less. The street was boiling, and there were noisy people on every street.
, those who understand, those who don’t understand, but on the top of the palace, which was already a mile away, a large pot of lights suddenly lit up, and a figure stood on it, waving a pale triangular flag while shouting and giving instructions.
direction, that white flag with jagged black edges was very eye-catching in the night sky.
Because the streets here radiate out from the center of the palace, and the farther away you go, the less people are heard. I ran on the roof for a while, and there was a small patio in front of it. It was quiet and dark inside.
It's a little different from the noise outside
At this time, the stone city gate not far away had long been closed. I hid for a while and made plans again at dawn. I jumped into the patio.
There were two people standing in the patio. As soon as I landed, they took half a step back cautiously and raised the guy in their hands. After a while, one of them said, "Tian Zong!"
I responded, and they came up immediately and pulled me into the house.
The lights came on, and I saw that they were General Ji, Song Kui, Sulu, and a few others who were putting on their clothes. They all saw me.
"You finally came out!" General Ji looked at me up and down, "It's okay. I went in naked and came out with a towel." Someone took all my clothes and handed me the sword.
I threw away the bath towel wrapped around me as quickly as possible. The sheets jingled and several gold hooks I carried in my arms fell to the ground, leaving a bright yellow mess.
"Are you going to be a thief?" General Ji asked in surprise
I ignored them. The most important thing for me now was to quickly arm myself, put on my clothes, and hold the sword in my hand. I had the confidence to say, "Don't mention it, this coward. I'll talk about it later. Let me tell you what's going on with you first."
Just as I was talking, a woman appeared at the door. I recognized that she was the person we rescued on Mamabazi Island. Then I remembered that we were in her home, but the man did not show up.
General Ji said, "After you entered, our large group left the city. Now there are only a few of us here, just to wait and receive you."
The woman saw me, smiled at me, and backed out of the door. I said, "Someone will be here soon. Let's go. We can't cause any trouble to this family."
A few of us tidied up briefly, and Sulu said, "General, this sheet?"
I said, "This is a good thing. I rolled it out specially and took this bath towel with me to leave for my wives!"
Nothing brought from the palace could be left behind, as that would bring unnecessary trouble to the family. Before leaving, Sulu did not forget to pick up a few gold clothes hooks from the ground and said, "Keep them, keep them for you to marry."
I said
He carefully put a few gold clothes hooks into his arms. Without saying goodbye to the family, we blew out the lights and dodged into the dark alley.
As soon as we came out, a small group of soldiers holding torches arrived. They patted the door of the house and left just in time, waiting for the family to play dumb with them.
We walked toward the city wall and asked General Ji, "What new discoveries have you made?"
"Well, there's nothing new in the palace, but..."
"But what?" Song Kui followed us and asked breathlessly.
"There are many pearls there, but women don't see many beautiful ones." Just as he was talking, the tall city gate appeared in front of him.
