The military camp was very quiet late at night, most of the soldiers were already asleep, and only a few teams of soldiers were on patrol at night.
In the camp, Chen'er, who had his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, took out two sharpened bamboo sticks from his pillow, jumped out of bed with one hand in the air, and walked in the dark to the north of the camp.
Chen'er leaned against the tent and listened carefully to the movements outside the tent. Two heavy snores came one after another, which seemed particularly clear in the silent night.
Chen'er frowned slightly, but was not in a hurry to take action. He still stayed close to the tent quietly, waiting for the most suitable moment. Finally, a sound of neat footsteps came from far away, and the friction sound of the metal armor was heard, and the two snores disappeared instantly.
The sound of neat footsteps did not stop, but gradually faded away again. A flash of light flashed in Chen'er's dark eyes. The night patrol soldier patrolled once an hour. One hour was enough for him to do a lot of things.
Soon the two heavy snores outside the camp began again.
Listening to the high and low snoring, Chen'er's eyes flashed coldly, and with a flick of his strength, the two sharpened bamboo sticks in his hand flew straight towards the two heavy snoring sounds as if they had their own consciousness.
With two "bang" and "bang" sounds, the two heavy snores stopped instantly, and there was no more sound.
Although the "bang bang" sound was not loud, it could be heard from the west side, which was closest to the north side.
The young soldier and the middle-aged soldier guarding the west opened their eyes instantly when they heard the noise. The two looked at each other at the same time, and they both saw too many things in each other's eyes. Neither of them got up and closed their eyes together again, just like that The two banging sounds had never sounded the same in this silent night.
Hearing no movement from the guards on the west side, Chen'er's eyes flashed with a faint light. It seemed that his choice was right. Originally, the west side of the camp was the most secluded, but he did not choose to go out from the west side. Perhaps it was because the conversation between the two soldiers at night made him feel that they still had a trace of conscience, and he did not want the lives of those two men.
Chen'er reached out and gently tore open the hole in the tent made of bamboo sticks, and got out from the hole.
Outside the camp, two soldiers guarding the camp were sitting on the tent with their eyes closed. Two bamboo sticks were rubbed between their throats, and they were already dead.
Chen'er picked up the soldier's sword from the ground and quietly walked towards the center of the barracks where there were the most soldiers on night watch.
The only place where all the soldiers in the military camp could watch the execution was in the square in the middle of the military camp.
He knew Zhuge Weiming too well. At this time, that person would never be locked up in a dark place, only in the most conspicuous place, because the more conspicuous the place, the more proud he would be, and it would be more difficult to rescue him. .
After dodging the soldiers on patrol, Chen'er finally arrived at the square. The square was not very big, but it was very empty. There was no place to hide, so Chen'er had to hide on the side of a tent.
The square was very empty. Chen'er immediately saw the man tied to the wooden frame in the center of the square. The man was covered in blood and his head was lowered. His face could not be seen clearly, but his figure seemed to be that of a thirteen or fourteen year old. young man.
Looking at the desperate young man on the wooden frame, Chen'er's eyes instantly turned red. The hand holding the big knife trembled slightly. She bit her lip tightly and resisted the urge to rush forward.
There were many soldiers on patrol in the square, divided into two groups. Chen'er held the big knife tightly in his hand, held his breath, and waited for the opportunity.
Finally, when the two groups of soldiers changed shifts, Chen'er saw the opportunity and rushed to the wooden frame. He picked up the big knife and "clicked" twice to cut off the iron chain tied to the young man's hand.
Without the restraints of the iron chain, the boy fell down instantly. Chen'er saw this and immediately helped him up. Seeing that he seemed unable to walk, Chen'er didn't think much, just picked him up and ran into the darkness.
As if feeling something, the young man slowly woke up. The severe pain in his body slowly brought him back to consciousness. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw a small head.
"Who are you?" The hoarse voice sounded like a well that had dried up for a long time.
Hearing the boy's dry voice, Chen'er's eyes turned red again. He seemed to see him suppressing hunger in order to secretly save the white-flour buns.
"Don't talk, I will definitely save you." The choked voice was full of determination. He would save him no matter what and would never let him die here in vain.
After hearing this, the young man's chaotic head sobered up again, and he finally realized that he had been rescued. Without thinking about anything, he blurted out, "Leave me alone, leave quickly. If someone finds out, I will definitely hurt you." ." The hoarse voice was very anxious.
When Chen'er heard this, a hot tear fell from her eyes. How kind-hearted this young man was. Even at this time, he still only thought about others.
After suppressing his emotions, Chen'er whispered, "It's not you who got me in trouble, it's me who got you in trouble." If it weren't for him, how could he be tortured like this by Zhuge Weiming? It was him who got him in trouble.
The young man was stunned when he heard the words. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked at Chen'er's figure and said in shock, "You are the emperor." The hoarse voice was full of fear. His head was so dizzy just now that he didn't even think about it. Pay attention to who is running behind him.
"Hurry up and let me down. How can I let you carry me?" The emperor was only eight years old, how could he be carried on his back? The young man was even more frightened thinking about it, and he immediately struggled to get down.
Upon seeing this, Chen'er immediately tightened her grip on the boy's legs and shouted in a low voice, "Don't move, now is not the time to talk about this."
When the young man heard Chen'er's low voice, he didn't dare to move for a moment.
Chen'er was observing the surrounding terrain while running very fast. Although the boy on his body was not heavy, he was only eight years old after all. As he ran faster, Chen'er's breathing became heavier and heavier.
Looking at Chen'er who was struggling, a touch of emotion flashed in the young man's eyes, "Your Majesty, please leave me alone and run away." He knew that he was seriously injured, and he might not be able to survive even if he went out. His body was like this It would only drag him down. Without him, maybe he could still run out. Even if he ran out and became an ordinary person, it would be better than being an emperor in this military camp.
Chen'er's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "If I leave you, I won't come to save you today." If it wasn't to save him, he wouldn't run away. If he wanted to return to Xuanwu, he would still save you. Mother.
Hearing this, the young man fell silent again. His heart seemed to be hit hard by something. He suddenly thought of secretly saving steamed buns two days ago and sneaking them to him while avoiding layers of soldiers. He never thought that he would pay attention to him. , he just didn't want him to starve, it was just that simple, he didn't want to see a child starve to death. Maybe when he gave the steamed buns, he didn't even think that he was the king of a country, he just regarded him as an ordinary child.
Suddenly there was a sound of gongs, followed by a loud shout.
"No, he ran away."
"Come quickly, people have escaped."
"It doesn't take long. I won't be able to run far. Hurry up and chase me."
Amid the noisy shouts, more and more tents were lit with candles, and Chen'er's eyes suddenly brightened.
No, it was discovered. Chen'er looked at the exit in front of her and quickened her pace.
Listening to the increasing number of footsteps behind him, the young man immediately said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please put me down quickly. I can run by myself."
Chen'er didn't stop after hearing this, and said directly, "Are you sure you can run by yourself?"
Hearing this, a flash of determination flashed in the young man's eyes, "I can do it." He definitely couldn't run out with him on his back like this, but even if he didn't drag him down, he could definitely run.
When Chen'er heard this, she stopped, put the boy down, put the boy's arm directly on her shoulders, and then drove him running quickly.
The young man gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain and tried his best to follow Chen'er's footsteps, constantly warning himself in his heart that he must not drag him down.
Suddenly, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps behind the two people.
"They are over there"
"Quick, chase me quickly."
The shouts behind him were getting closer and closer. The young man's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the blood on his body was flowing more and more, but the speed of his feet did not slow down by half, even though his feet were so numb that he could no longer feel anything.
As if sensing the boy's pain, Chen'er immediately comforted him, "Keep on holding on, and we'll leave the military camp after passing the fence in front."
"Yes." Hearing this, the young man looked up at the row of wooden fences in front and nodded firmly. They can definitely go out.
The two quickly ran to the fence. The fence was not too high, but it was much higher than Chen'er. It would not be difficult for Chen'er to climb over the fence alone, but the boy was seriously injured and probably wouldn't have the strength to climb over the fence. .
Without thinking much, Chen'er kicked directly at the fence. Now he regretted not taking the big knife with him.
Seeing that Chen'er kicked the wooden fence twice and the wooden fence didn't move at all, the young man's eyes darkened and he said, "Let me do it."
As the young man spoke, he ignored Chen'er's doubtful gaze and struck a palm directly at the wooden fence. A beam of red mysterious energy instantly hit the wooden fence.
The fence did not fall to the ground as expected, but it was also knocked open.
Looking at the small opening, the young man's blood-stained face turned red. His profound energy was indeed not good enough.
Chen'er was overjoyed and looked at the young man with excitement and said, "You are so awesome." His excited voice was full of admiration. Because he didn't know Xuan Qi, he had always admired people who knew Xuan Qi.
"Let's go." Glancing at the soldiers who were about to catch up, Chen'er pulled the young man out through the small opening.
As soon as the two people got out, the soldiers caught up with them. Because the opening was so small, the soldiers couldn't get through at all, so they all climbed up the wooden fence.
When Chen'er saw this, a sneer appeared on her lips, and with one wave of her hands, two strings of fireballs flew towards the row of wooden fences.
The wooden fence burned instantly, and the fire spread quickly. Soon, the entire circle of wooden fence was ablaze, and the entire military camp was instantly surrounded by flames.
"Ah" the soldiers screamed and fell off the wooden fence one after another.
"Let's go." Chen'er didn't have time to appreciate the embarrassed look of the soldiers, so Chen'er immediately ran away with the boy on his back.
"A bunch of trash." Just as the soldiers were in a hurry, an angry voice rang out.
