This group of soldiers, led by their little leader, cursed and walked towards the palace. They were a little discouraged. The cooked duck flew away, poof! Poof! Who is the duck?
They didn't even pay attention to the people standing guard at the door, and entered the gate in an unorganized procession.
After passing through the aisle, the carved red paint door was tightly closed. The first person did not enter the door, but passed directly beside the copper bead stand next to the door.
I followed them at the end and didn't see clearly how the first person disappeared. Then the second person didn't even hesitate and walked in with his head held high!
Just now, I took advantage of the chaos to kill a person and stuffed him into a corner. Now I took advantage of him and became one of them. Otherwise, how could I have seen such an incredible scene?
If they can get in, I don't have any problem. Aren't they all men with two legs? As soon as I closed my eyes, I was ready for a big bump on my head and took a step forward.
nothing happened
When I looked again, I saw that I had entered an unfamiliar room. The soldiers who had entered earlier were busy looking for a place to lie down. Maybe they were not satisfied with their failure to return. Some of them were mumbling and venting.
I quickly lowered my head. Everyone was wearing the same clothes and a big-brimmed cloth hat. It was not easy to spot me.
This is a square room with a four-story wooden bed that circles the wall. People throw off their shoes and climb up to their seats.
I didn't know which bed I should get on. I waited until the end and saw an empty space. Everyone else was already in their seats. This bed must be mine. It was on the bottom floor.
I lay down and faced inward, thinking about countermeasures. I never figured out how I got in. I clearly saw that there was only a copper bead platform next to the red lacquer carved door, and a lamp was dimly lit on it, but I didn't see it.
What kind of door, and all the people entering the door did not do anything, such as raising their hands to press the switch or something.
Could it be that they all have the ability to walk through walls? Then why are they waiting for Bai Jing? Besides, I can't walk through walls, didn't I come in too?
I suddenly remembered that when we entered the palace for the first time, the soldiers who brought us in also arrived at this place and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I turned around quietly and looked at where I came in. There was a wall and no door.
After a while, there was a snoring sound in the room, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed. I was still facing there, but something incredible happened.
There was a faint light shining in from the corridor outside. I could vaguely see the situation in the corridor. The light in the corridor had just been turned off. I was lying in the room. How could I see the light in the corridor?
I quietly got up from the bed. One person was gritting his teeth. I pointed at his acupuncture points. I was honest and the others followed suit. After working for most of the night, they all slept like dead pigs.
There was a door without a doorframe, with smooth stone slabs on it. I stepped outside the door in one step and held the copper lamppost with my hand. This is strange. Standing outside, I can clearly see the position of the door. I just came in.
When I saw it, I only saw one wall
Let’s put this question aside for now. I have to find that woman first. Who is she? I must find out clearly.
I did not enter the red lacquer door. This door is the boundary between the inside and outside of Baijing Palace. It is impossible to enter casually in the middle of the night.
The six outermost doors were also wide open at night. When I came in, I found that there were no doors at all. There were only two soldiers standing guard beside the door. The room in the secret door behind the lamppost was the rest room for the changing of the guard.
It is the most typical arrangement of loose outside and tight inside.
I don’t want to make too much noise until I figure it out, especially before I figure out who that woman is.
I quietly walked back to a hanging cloth curtain, reached out and tugged on it, and a door appeared behind the curtain. It was dark inside, and I ducked in. This was another fan-shaped hall.
There was a man's gentle laughter in the darkness. I looked to the right and saw a crack on the right, with light coming from inside. I walked over with my sword and put my eyes against the crack in the door to look inside.
Opposite is a tall window with an iron bar as thick as an egg blocking it. There is a copper lamppost standing beside the window. On the wall next to the lamp is an iron ring with a woman tied to it - Qinghua.
She was wearing a brown skirt, her hair was messy, and she had an angry and helpless expression on her face. It turned out to be her, Qinghua, who was temporarily pulled by Bai Jing to act as bait.
A man was pulling a chair close to her, and a pig's hand was stretching along her thigh into her skirt, "Hey, Qinghua, I didn't expect that I have such good luck, and asked General Bai to send me here." His eyes were blurred, and he was lustful.
Narrowly looking at Qinghua, admiring the painful expression on her face
"You...don't be like this...ah-" Qinghua screamed
"Haha, that's it. If you didn't call me like that, why would that kid come?" the man said proudly.
There was another person next to him, leaning on a chair, with his hands behind his head, admiring the live drama in front of him.
"Crack, crack", I rubbed the match rope outside the room
"Who? Who's outside?" asked a man inside
I didn't say anything, and with the light of the early fire, I could see clearly what was going on outside. This was the inner half of the fan-shaped hall, which was a bit narrow. Inside, there were piles of rolls of linen, a few wicker baskets, wooden shelves, and other things in a mess.
There is a greasy barrel
"Hey, let me ask you, what are you messing around with there?" A man opened the door from the inside and leaned out half of his body to ask me.
I ignored him. He thought I was one of them because he couldn't see my face clearly from behind. He leaned against the door and looked at me with his arms crossed.
I held the match rope in one hand and reached for the barrel with the other
"Ahem! You don't know how to light the lamp!" He leaned against the door to remind me. He probably wanted to see what I was going to do.
When I looked, there was either an oil lamp next to the wall. I lit the lamp, but with my face turned away from him, I freed my hand to open the lid of the barrel, and a smell of oil came out.
He picked up the barrel with both hands, tipped it over, and poured the oil on the linen rolls, the basket, and the wooden stand. The oil barrel was emptied, and he threw it to the ground, breaking it into dozens of oily wooden strips. He kicked it several times.
On the linen cloth, I picked up the oil lamp again
"Hey! I said what are you going to do...what are you going to do!" The man saw something was wrong and came up to stop me. I ignored him and threw the oil lamp in my hand on the pile of linen, and the flames quickly spread from one point to another.
stand up
"Come here!" He shouted and was knocked unconscious by my punch. The room was filled with thick smoke and became very hot and stuffy. I turned around and found that the light in the back room had gone out. I rushed over and kicked him.
When I opened the door, I saw another man crawling toward the door like a dog.
He was a local, so I asked him, "Stay there, I'm here, why do you want to leave?" He didn't seem to understand, so I left it to him.
A cough came from the wall. One of Qinghua's hands was tied to an iron ring on the wall by a thin chain, and she used the other hand to cover her mouth. I cut off the iron chain with a sword and said to her, "Quickly leave."
Through the firelight outside, she saw me clearly and said, "Take me away, I don't want to stay here anymore."
There was no time to think too much, because the people who were awakened by the shouts had already walked out of the corridor asking questions.
The flames from the oil-soaked linen and baskets outside have filled the entire room. Someone in the corridor shouted, "Fight the fire, go and report to General Bai!" The wooden frame was also attracted, and they rushed out from the original road.
It's unlikely, and I've already decided to take her away
He looked at the iron bars on the window, picked up his sword, and brought it down with the sword. The iron bars made a clear cracking sound. He slashed twice and cut off two bars. He held the broken ends and broke them to both sides with force. A place near the window sill appeared.
a triangular space
Just as I was about to kick the window, Qinghua shouted, "No!" Looking at her nervous expression, I understood.
He walked to the outhouse, picked up a burning wooden stick, came back and poked it at the window. A subtle "squeaking" sound escaped into the distance, and an imperceptible silver web of sea spiders was caught by the fire.
In an instant, the cigarette smoke flew away. I turned around and asked, "Is it okay?" She nodded.
Then I kicked open the window, took her over, and lifted her onto the window sill. She stood on the windowsill and hesitated for a moment, then lifted her skirt and jumped out of the window.
I don’t know why I suddenly changed my mind and my original plan to save her didn’t include this item.
Since Bai Jing asked her to do something she didn't want to do and endure humiliation here as a bait, then there should be no problem for me to save her.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, never mind that we still have skin-to-skin contact for one night
