The woman who was hiding in the darkness on the wall shouted: "Hongxiao, go quickly!"
I saw a slender chain flying straight in front of the woman in black named Hong Xiao.
Hong Xiao reached out and grabbed the chain, turned to look at Xiao Yu who was standing aside, and threw the chain to him.
Xiao Yu took the chain with a confused look on his face.
"You go first!" Hong Xiao said.
Just when Xiao Yu was about to say a few polite words, he saw Hong Xiao raising his head and shouting:
"Yangqin, let the young prince go first!"
The woman on the wall readily agreed.
"knew!"
The chain suddenly tightened, tightly wrapping around Xiao Yu's wrist like a snake, and an unexpectedly strong force carried him toward the wall, as if someone pulled him up. He stepped on the wall and reached the top easily.
Standing here, turning his head and looking back, Xiao Yu could clearly see the situation around him.
There were fires on three sides, and no less than a hundred people were running towards them.
Xiao Yu was frightened for a while. If these people were as masters as those big men before, then they would really be unable to fly.
Thinking of this, Hong Hao has already climbed up the wall.
Xiao Yu was still a little confused, but he saw Qin Qin looking at him, her bright eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons outside the black scarf covering her face.
"Young prince, long time no see." Qin Qin greeted.
Xiao Yu smiled coquettishly, but murmured in his heart:
What happened tonight? Why did the two men who came in with me originally turned into two graceful women?
Xiao Yu looked at Hongxiao on the left and Qinqin on the right. They were both wearing black night clothes. One's eyes were slightly cold, and the other's eyes were as passionate as fire.
"Do I know you?"
Xiao Yu said such an inappropriate statement.
Yangqin gave a shy smile, and Hongxiao gave the two of them a cold look.
"Let's talk after we get out!"
The two women held Xiao Yu's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and jumped off the more than ten feet high courtyard wall, disappearing into the darkness at the other end of the wall.
There was another narrow alley in front of him. Before Xiao Yu could adapt to the darkness in front of him, he was already being pulled forward by two women.
There were forks in the road ahead, and at the slightest light of fire, they turned and fled.
His ears were still filled with the man's rude yelling and the beating of gongs and drums.
The three of them seemed to have no sense of direction as they ran. They only felt that the dark narrow alley in front of them was extremely long.
Xiao Yu was out of breath from running. He heard the yelling and the sound of gongs and drums getting farther and farther away from them.
Maybe they had escaped their pursuers for the time being, but they didn't know where they were going now.
The two women had let go of their hands, allowing Xiao Yu to follow behind.
Xiao Yu said: "You run slower and maintain your strength. We are safe for the time being."
"It's not safe yet." That voice seemed to be from Hung Hom.
"Little prince, hold on a little longer, and we will be able to go out soon." It was Yuqin who spoke.
"You...are you familiar with this place? Do you know the way out? I still have two friends here, and I got separated from them!"
"Don't worry, little prince, just follow us." Yuqin said with relief.
Xiao Yu said oh.
The two women who led the way stopped talking to him. They were not silent all the time. They were exchanging information in a low voice while running away.
"How are you doing over there? Have you achieved anything?" Hong Xiao asked.
"It's a bigger discovery than expected."
"What's wrong?"
"If I hadn't climbed to a high place, I wouldn't have known that there were some hidden courtyards in this house. Some secret doors were embedded in the courtyard walls. Time was tight and we couldn't crack them one by one. However, the other two sisters and I got closer and closer. I went inside and looked at the wall, and there were more than twenty rooms filled with all kinds of weapons and armor."
"This is not an arsenal? Why are there these things?"
Yuqin smiled softly: "Hongxiao, if someone hides so many weapons and armors, and then knows the identity of the owner of the house, you still can't guess what he wants to do by preparing so many forbidden things?"
Xiao Yu, who was following behind, felt his heart skip a beat. When he thought that the owner of the house might be Zhu Yi, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Does Zhu Yi want to rebel?
Zhu Yi was originally the leading general and commanded the garrison of the capital. It was easy for him to kill the emperor and establish himself on his own.
But another point made Xiao Yu feel scared.
That means Zhu Yi has been trying to please himself. Does he want to depose Xiao Yuheng and make himself emperor?
When Xiao Yu thought of this, his heart felt as if there were five thunderbolts in his heart.
Just as he was thinking of this, the two women walking in front seemed to be talking about other topics.
"Later, I discovered a prison behind it, and a group of people were detained inside."
"It was the same over there just now. They all seemed to be our common people. They were all old, weak, women and children. I took a quick look around. Those jackals really deserved to go to hell. They raped women and killed old people and children. I killed them on the road. A few, I couldn't protect those women who were raped, so I let them commit suicide."
"They did it?"
"Well, it's better to die than live." Hong Xiao sighed, "There was a woman who didn't dare to do it herself, so I gave her a ride."
Yuqin sighed after hearing this.
"Is it the same with you?"
"No. The people there are all strong and strong men, but they are locked up in the prison, and there are no signs of being tortured. Looking at the clothes and the words of those men, they don't look like they are from the South, but they look like they are from the Northern Dynasties. Soldier. I originally wanted to find someone to ask what was going on, but I was stopped by my mother-in-law."
"If it were me, I wouldn't dare to have casual contact with strangers. It would be okay to alert the snake. But if someone sets a trap here, it would be terrible."
The two women in front were talking to each other, and they seemed to have forgotten about Xiao Yu.
They talked intermittently, and Xiao Yu felt suspicious in his heart.
He suddenly stopped.
The two women couldn't help but look back after realizing it.
"Little prince, why don't you leave?"
"That's not the way I came. Where are you taking me?"
The two women looked at each other and then at Xiao Yu.
"Of course I went out." Yuqin said.
"Who are you? You haven't told me yet, but I heard you just said that we were from the Northern Dynasty? You asked me, a young prince from the Southern Dynasty, to follow you two spies from the Northern Dynasty. What are your plans? My Where are the two companions and what did you do to them!"
Xiao Yu said and took a few steps back, keeping a distance from the two women.
"You really don't understand good people's hearts." Hong Xiao said coldly, "Originally, we planned to send the young prince out of this land of tigers and wolves and go our separate ways, but we didn't expect that the young prince suddenly suspected us of ulterior motives at this juncture. "
Yuqin seemed to be more understanding. She said: "Hongxiao, don't talk to the young prince like this. You should have explained your words to the young prince before."
"I have been avoiding the pursuit of those jackals before, how could I have time to talk to him so much. The young prince knows that I have never harmed him. If I want to harm him, I will do it on the boat that day while he is asleep. , he sank into the river a long time ago, why do we protect him secretly and help him like we do today, and finally make people think that we are going to harm him? How can there be such unreasonable people in the world? "
Obviously Hong Xiao was angry with Xiao Yu. Her chest was rising and falling, and she stared at Xiao Yu with a pair of almond eyes and said nothing.
Yuqin said: "The young prince is the queen mother's benefactor, so what if the young prince knows our identities?"
"You are...you are the singers on Chunxiang Painted Boat!"
"Yang Qin is proficient in music and also knows singing and dancing. I'm just a punter." Hong Xiao said coldly.
"It's you!"
Xiao Yu exclaimed, and the image of the woman in red who was holding the boat for him appeared in front of him again, but he could not distinguish the heroic woman in red from the person in night clothes in front of him. Connected together.
Hong Xiao crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at Xiao Yu again.
"Now that I think of me, if I had known today, I would have thrown you into the river and fed you to the bastard while you were asleep."
Hearing Hong Xiao say this, the clouds in Xiao Yu's heart gradually dissipated at this moment.
"My sister was originally wearing red makeup, but today she is wearing night clothes. If she covers her mouth and face, I really can't recognize her."
Hung Hom is still unwilling to give up.
"Then how do I know you are the young prince's?"
At this time, Yuqin was trying to smooth things over.
"Okay, Hung Hom, it's not time to say this at this time. The young prince has already given in. Why do you continue to care about it?"
"I've been like that, but he doesn't remember me at all."
The more Hong Xiao talked, the angrier she became, so Yang Qin quickly pulled her arm.
"Hongxiao, don't forget the Queen Mother's instructions before she left."
Hong Xiao took a deep breath, and there seemed to be crystal tears in her eyes.
Xiao Yu felt puzzled. He didn't understand why Hong Xiao was so angry with him.
Obviously the two of them were fine before meeting Yuqin. It was reasonable for me to have such doubts just now. It just made people wonder why Hong Xiao was so angry, as if she had suffered some huge grievance. Same.
Alas, a woman’s heart is as deep as a needle!
At this moment, Hong Xiao wiped his eyes with his sleeve, turned around and left without saying a word.
"Oh, red silk!" cried Qin Qin.
Hung Hom dropped the following sentence: "People don't care about us, so why are we licking our faces like this? We just go our separate ways!"
Qin Qin turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yu, with resentment in her eyes, and then turned to chase Hong Xiao.
At this time, only Xiao Yu was left standing silently.
He didn't know whether he should go after Hongxiao and Yangqin, but he could clearly feel that Chunxiang Huafang had no ill intentions towards him.
What can a man like me do if he apologizes to a girl?
Thinking of this, he was going to chase two women.
At this moment, he felt his eyes getting brighter and brighter, so bright that he could see the red silk and the harp in the middle of the narrow road ahead.
They were standing there looking back, as if waiting for themselves, or looking at the situation behind them.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but turned his head and saw several fire spots appearing in the distant houses at the same time. The red flames rushed into the sky and illuminated the surrounding area.
The house was originally shouting "Catch the thief", but now it became "It's on fire, go put out the fire!"
Xiao Yu walked towards Hongxiao and Yuqin, took off the black scarf covering his mouth and nose, and smiled at the two women.
The two women also took off the black scarves on their faces, revealing two beautiful faces.
Xiao Yu looked at Hong Hao. The woman was still sullen at first, but when she saw Xiao Yu waving his hand in greeting, her face immediately lost its tension. She was also smiling, and her smile was beautiful, but there seemed to be tears shining in her eyes. .
At this time, Qin Qin walked up to Xiao Yu and smiled at him.
"Little prince, please wait with me and leave!"
"Yeah." Xiao Yu nodded, "What are those lights?"
"The signal to retreat."
"Yangqin, is it a coincidence that we meet here tonight?"
"After you go out, the young prince can go ask my mother-in-law!"
"Aunt..."
"My young prince, turn right ahead and there is a high wall. Someone is waiting there. We just need to climb over the wall and get out. Grandma is waiting for us outside."
Xiao Yu nodded and looked at Hong Xiao again.
Hong Xiao's almond-shaped eyes blinked, and just when she was about to speak, her eyes suddenly glanced forward, and she quickly wrapped the black scarf around her again.
Xiao Yu and Qin Qin also quickly wrapped their black scarves around them and took two steps forward to stand side by side with Hong Xiao.
I saw twenty or thirty strong men suddenly running from the corner in front, all uniformed in black attire, with standard ring-headed swords on their waists and hips.
They were arranged neatly, and their movements were as regular as a marching formation. They exuded the solemnity and solemnity of marching people.
They look completely different from the ruthless nurses in the backyard.
The big man at the front of the array shouted: "The thief has just been armed, and he can be captured without any effort! You can't die if you wait!"
"Don't even think about it. Do you think I can't escape just because of you cats and dogs?" Yuqin said, and put down two chains from her sleeves again.
"Crossbow ready..."
There were several people in the front row defending, and more than ten strong men behind them moved as neatly as one person. At one time, more than ten small hand crossbows were aimed at the three of them.
"If you don't surrender, I will shoot you to death!" the strong man at the head shouted.
It's them!
Xiao Yu probably had some idea in his mind, so he stepped forward, but was blocked by Hong Xiao and Qin Qin.
Hongxiao said softly: "Little prince, I and Yuqin will stop them in a while, you can take the opportunity to escape!"
"That's right."
Yuqin nodded, his eyes firm, as if he was looking forward to death.
However, Xiao Yu suddenly pushed the two women away, stood in front of them, and asked loudly: "Are the brothers in front of you trapped in the camp?"
The strong man on the other side replied: "Who are you?"
"The Crown Prince of Jiangxia."
Everyone on the opposite side was stunned, and the crossbows originally pointed at Xiao Yu inadvertently turned in other directions.
The strong man at the head saw that his men were loose, and immediately shouted: "Don't move the bow and crossbow, be careful of thieves trying to trick you!"
He shouted at Xiao Yu again: "How could the noble prince of Jiangxia appear here as a thief? Who are you trying to deceive?"
"Wang Zhong, have you met Prince Jiangxia?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked.
The other party was stunned for a moment: "You...how did you know that I am Wang Zhong?"
Xiao Yu didn't answer, he took two steps forward.
The crossbows were immediately raised, and more than a dozen arrow clusters were aimed at Xiao Yu's chest.
Xiao Yu was scared, but he had to pretend to be calm. He asked, "Wang Zhong, have you met Prince Jiangxia?"
"I have seen it. When we attacked Pengcheng, the last general was standing next to Prince Jiangxia's mount. At that time, the last general was still a big-headed soldier."
Every time he said this, Wang Zhong felt endless pride in his heart, and the pride in his eyes was beyond words.
"Then you still remember what Prince Jiangxia looks like."
"Of course I will remember it, but the prince's majestic appearance can be forgotten."
"Then who do you think I look like?"
Xiao Yu suddenly took off the black scarf covering his mouth and nose and took a few steps forward.
Wang Zhong saw that Xiao Yu's appearance and posture were eighty-nine points similar to Xiao Ziqian, the all-powerful prince of Jiangxia more than ten years ago. If this is not the young prince, then who is the young prince.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhong actually shouted out loud: "Your Majesty..."
Wang Zhong's knees seemed to be disobedient, and he suddenly fell to his knees.
Many of the other strong men were veterans around Prince Jiang Xia. Seeing Xiao Yu as lively as Xiao Ziqian back then, it seemed like he was back to those days again, and they all knelt down with tears in their eyes.
When recruits see veterans kneeling, they naturally follow suit.
Xiao Yu turned around and winked at the two women behind him, asking them to follow him.
But when Xiao Yu walked in front of Wang Zhong, he suddenly stopped.
"General Wang, I am very happy that you recognize me as the young prince. Good and evil are all in one thought. We, the veterans around Prince Jiangxia, will not do anything to help the evildoers."
Wang Zhong put his forehead to the ground and did not raise his head for a long time.
