"Concubine Jing, come with me quickly." The man said to Meng Li sincerely.
Meng Li asked: "How can we get out with so many people outside?"
"Don't worry, I've already arranged this." The man said confidently.
Meng Li hesitated for a moment:
"What about my child?"
"Don't worry, I have already sent someone to escort the Sixth Prince out."
Meng Li: "..."
"Who are you, helping me for no reason?"
Man: "Can't I help you?"
Meng Li said quietly: "I have nothing to do to show my courtesy..."
"You really misunderstood, I was entrusted by others." The man thought for a while and then said:
"If Concubine Jing wants to see the Sixth Prince, please come with me."
Meng Li nodded: "Okay."
Go along and see what they are going to do.
To be precise, what is the purpose
The maid next to him said to Meng Li hesitantly:
"Master, don't take it lightly, in case there is a scam."
Meng Li sighed: "But the Sixth Prince is with them, what can I do?"
The palace maid also sighed, why could the master just not let go of the sixth prince
But after thinking about it, if I don't follow them, how can I and my master escape
If you are trapped in the palace, you may be humiliated. It is better to trust them once, and things may turn around.
"Without further delay, let's leave quickly." After the man said that, he put down the eunuch hat on his head, and the group of people walked in a hurry with their heads lowered.
Mixed in the crowd.
The places they passed were very chaotic, and some enemy troops tried to catch them, but the men brought these people were very skilled.
Kill them directly.
Seeing this, other palace people wanted to escape with them, but the people brought by the man were as hard-hearted as iron and warned them not to follow.
If you must follow, beat them until they can't follow.
Just like this, he broke out all the way. Even so, several particularly skilled people brought by the man also suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Walking together smells like blood.
In the end, he actually led them to the entrance of the cave in the south.
Palace maid: "..."
So this is your approach
Seeing the questioning look in the palace maid's eyes, the man pursed his lips and explained in a low voice:
"Our people will pick me up when I get out from here."
Seeing that the palace maid was still looking at the entrance of the cave, the man asked in surprise:
"You don't think we're going to get out of this hole, do you?"
Palace maid: "..."
if not
The man twitched his lips, walked a few steps, and lifted a brick from the ground. It turned out that there was a tunnel hidden here.
He jumped down by himself, followed by Meng Li and the palace maid, and then a few others.
The tunnel was built very small and could only allow one person to pass through. Seeing that this person had been prepared for a long time, he actually built a tunnel here.
Could it be that you already knew that today would happen
Meng Li had some concerns in his mind and followed calmly. The passage was very long and mud covered people's faces and noses, making it difficult to breathe in it.
The man said:
"Concubine Jing, please bear with me."
Meng Li: "Okay."
It seems that there is a thumping sound on the ground. There should be a team passing by on the ground. Listening to their footsteps, it seems that they are enemy troops.
Now only the enemy can break out of this momentum.
Meng Li walked in circles and couldn't see his fingers, and he didn't know how long he had walked before he heard the man say:
"arrive."
The man raised his hands, pushed the floor tiles above his head, stared at the wall, and climbed up.
Meng Li walked behind the man, saw a beam of light coming from above his head, and planned to go up too.
However, a stool was lowered from above. Meng Li took the stool and placed it on the ground, then stepped up on the stool.
Everyone came up one by one. After they came up, Meng Li immediately scanned the surrounding area with his mental power.
In case there is someone ambushing next to me.
It really does exist. This is a suite with a yard outside and two side rooms next to it that are full of people.
However, this courtyard is not big, and it is very ordinary in terms of architecture. It should be regarded as a place where relatively ordinary people in the capital live.
Presumably it was not the man's residence, but a temporary place for them to dig tunnels.
When everyone came up, they found that they were all disgraced and embarrassed.
There was a thick layer of dirt on her hair alone, as if she had been buried alive.
"Let's go quickly."
"Presumably after those people took over the palace, they would check it carefully. Then they could easily find the tunnel and follow it." The man didn't want to explain at first.
But seeing that Meng Li's expression was always calm and there was no joy of escaping, he couldn't help but want to explain.
Meng Li said oh and said yes.
There is nothing wrong with the man's thinking.
When the enemy troops broke into the palace, the first thing they did was to rob property and women. They were so excited that they even said that the generals could not control it.
At this time, they are unorganized and undisciplined. If they wait until they have done everything they should do, come back to their senses and check it carefully, they will basically find this tunnel.
Especially since this tunnel was dug at the entrance of a cave that everyone knew about in a desperate move.
I don’t know why I dig there, but I think it’s the most convenient place to come.
Generally, if there is a hole in the palace wall, someone will be sent to guard it. Presumably the people there can be bribed, otherwise how can any little guy get out from there
In other words, if there is a hole, why not repair it
There are many things to do. Building palace walls for the royal family is very demanding, and there are various procedures.
Obviously, the country is now destroyed. Before the country was destroyed, the court must have been a mess. Just building a palace wall, many people wanted to make more money.
Therefore, it must take a long time for something to be fully implemented.
As he was thinking about things, his footsteps followed them out of the room and into the yard.
The people piled up in the two side rooms came out. They were all men, and they looked quite strong. When the palace maid saw this scene, her face turned pale.
She said with a trembling voice:
"No way… "
"Master..." She swallowed. Did she just come out of the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den
Meng Li frowned:
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm so uneasy, I think something is wrong." The palace maid said anxiously.
Meng Li just said lightly: "As soon as you come, let's make peace with it."
The man said in disbelief:
"I really admire Concubine Jing for being so open-minded."
Meng Li: "... Where is my child?"
"Let's go to a safe place first and then arrange for you to meet." The man said.
Meng Li could only say yes. Under the protection of a group of people, they walked out of the gate. At this moment, the streets of the capital were also in chaos. They were killing and robbing, and wailing sounds were heard one after another.
Even if the imperial palace suffered such a disaster, how could these ordinary people fare well without the protection of the state
It will only get worse.
