Chapter 405: They Ran Away
The two of them quickened their pace like the rest of the people who were hiding, blending into the crowd to better hide their whereabouts.
Chang Li stopped abruptly in front of the side gate of King Feng's Mansion, pointed to the face of the guard next to him, and shouted: "Hurry up and send people to step up patrols and vigilance around King Feng's Mansion, I suspect that someone has infiltrated Gyeongju City again, intending to harm His Royal Highness King Feng!" If King Feng has three long and two short, I want you to wait for the dog's life! ”
The guards were startled and hurriedly arranged for men to patrol.
"Also, send people to the gate of the city as soon as possible to strictly check the people entering and leaving the city." Chang Li shouted again.
This posture seems to have a large number of spies who want to kill King Feng's mansion, so I don't know why the situation suddenly became so urgent, but the guards were ready for it in an instant.
When the people heard this, they shrank farther away, for fear that they would be accidentally caught and beheaded as spies.
Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan also heard this, and calmly followed the flow of people in the direction of the city gate.
The guards of King Feng's Mansion had already ridden towards the city gate, and if they walked over now, they might not be able to get out of the city smoothly, but if they were running through the streets now, they would be too eye-catching and suspicious.
The two glanced at each other, and when they were about to reach the door, they turned onto a small road with few people, and put the load of goods aside, Jin Yang pretended to be interested in their goods, picking and picking in front of the load.
"It should be Chang Li's subordinates who noticed what our secret guards were doing, so they became suspicious." Pu Yangxuan looked at Jin Yang, "After all, we brought Uncle Tang to dinner yesterday, and he knows that we will definitely do something." ”
Jin Yang said: "Don't worry, the two of you have been investigating along the city wall in the past two days and found a secret place out of the city. ”
"Moat?" Pu Yangxuan asked softly.
"Yes." Jin Yang nodded, "There is a river in the city that runs through the northwest and is a place for the people to fetch water every day. And this river connected the moat outside the city, and there was a sluice in the city wall, which was always chained, and not even a mouse could pass through the gaps. But the subordinates have studied the lock and will be able to take it open and restore it to its original state, ensuring that no spies will take advantage of it after you and the princess leave. ”
"How deep is the water?" Pu Yangxuan looked at Xue Jinyi and asked.
Jin Yang said: "There are about eight feet. ”
"That's going to be over your head." Pu Yangxuan asked again: "How long does it take from jumping into the water to passing through the sluices and city gates to going ashore?" ”
"The sluice looks impregnable, so the men who patrol the gate pass through it every hour. You and the princess can only enter the water in front of the sluice, and you can estimate the time of less than half a cup of tea from the shore. ”
Pu Yangxuan looked at Xue Jinyi with some concern.
Xue Jinyi clenched her fists secretly, she didn't know the nature of water, even if she was prepared, she might not be able to guarantee that she would last these five or six minutes.
Pu Yangxuan gently rubbed her shoulder, "Don't worry, there's another way." Let's go. ”
Xue Jinyi believed him, so she immediately helped him pick up the burden of goods, Jin Yang took two steps back, pretended not to buy what he wanted, shook his head and left.
The group of three people went out of the workshop one after another and blended into the crowd.
At this moment, Chang Li almost trotted to the outside of the main courtyard where King Feng lived, and asked, "Last night, how was King Feng on King Chu's side?" ”
The attendant replied: "King Feng is very happy to eat and drink, and there is nothing unusual between King Chu and the princess, but it just feels a little difficult to get along with." However, King Feng drank two more glasses, and the smell of wine made Guan Ruren not very happy, and he wanted to go to the King of Chu to settle accounts, but who knew that the young couple was young and vigorous, and they were actually ...... in the courtyard."
He handed Chang Li a "you know" look.
Chang Li scolded: "Ridiculous! ”
There is no shame in this man and woman!
"Wait......" he thought for a moment and felt that something was wrong, "so Guan Ruren didn't see the King of Chu last night?" Until now, no one has ever been to see the King of Chu? ”
"Yes. It will be a while before a maid will go to deliver ingredients to the King of Chu. ”
Chang Li's face changed, "It's not good, King Chu and they escaped!" ”
"Escape?" The attendant felt impossible, "Not to mention that the courtyard is locked, and with the heavy guards and organs in the house, they can't escape with their wings?" ”
Chang Li scolded: "They are very cunning, you despise them too much!" ”
He secretly scolded in his heart, the old immortal thing just refused to trust him completely, handed over all the things to him to take care of the king of Chu, and drove him away early last night.
If it weren't for these, would we have these anomalies today?
The old immortal thinks very highly of himself, thinking that he has extraordinary ability, and yesterday it was clear that it was a trap, if the king and the princess of Chu really escaped, see if the old immortal will be ashamed and want to get into the cracks in the ground!
"That'...... Do you want to tell His Royal Highness King Feng now? ”
Chang Li wanted to say, "Don't hurry up yet", but now everything is his own conjecture, if the King of Chu and his wife play a conspiracy, and stay in the courtyard at the moment, wouldn't it make King Feng dislike him again?
"Don't go yet." He waved his hand irritably, "If you don't confirm that King Chu has fled, King Feng knows this, be careful that I pick your skin." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The attendant hurriedly answered.
Chang Li called more than a dozen guards and came to the small courtyard with a menacing attitude, "Open the courtyard door for me, I want to meet the King of Chu." ”
If the King of Chu dares to play some tricks, he will have to give this pair of dog men and women some hardship!
Seeing his fierce appearance, the guards quickly opened the iron lock on the courtyard door, and then pushed the door inside.
As a result, the door did not move at all.
"Are you so scared that you can't even push the door?!" Chang Li scolded.
The guard looked aggrieved, "This door is indeed much heavier than yesterday, how did my subordinates know that it would become like this overnight......"
Chang Li slapped the guard directly in the face, "So didn't you notice that this was very wrong?!" ”
The guards suddenly realized, and several people stepped forward to push the door together, and the door panel finally revealed some gaps.
"Hard, are they all eating dry rice?" Chang Li was about to jump.
The guards gritted their teeth, their shoulders pressed against the door panel, and pushed it in with all their might.
With the sound of Chang Li's scolding, the crack in the door was expanding little by little, and in the cold morning, everyone's foreheads were anxious and tired to a layer of fine sweat, and they were hot and depressed.
When the door was pushed open less than a foot into the gap, a guard noticed the bluestone slab pressed against the door panel, "What is that?" ”
Everyone lowered their heads and looked at it, knowing that the guards of the secret passage in the palace twitched their cheeks a few times, "Oops, the king of Chu has discovered the secret passage!" ”
Chang Li "buzzed" twice in his head, flew over, picked up the door panel and looked into the crack, and soon saw clearly the mud and sand that had been dug up more than a step away, and the gray stones that had been revealed.
"Is that the secret passage of the palace?"
"Yes." The guard was shocked, "This slate weighs almost a thousand catties, how can the king of Chu and the princess move away?!" ”
