The three maids looked frightened and huddled together, shivering. They looked at Xiao Yu with fear on their faces, but no one was willing to answer Xiao Yu's question.
Seeing that they were so afraid of him and unwilling to embarrass them, Xiao Yu planned to leave here.
As soon as he turned around, he stepped on a silk dress that a woman was originally wearing and had just been forcibly ripped off by a Su Guards soldier.
Xiao Yu glanced at the women from the corner of his eye. They were half-naked and disheveled, so he prepared to pick up clothes for them.
But as soon as he bent down, he heard a frightened cry from the palace ladies.
Xiao Yu was a little helpless and had to explain: "Stop shouting, I'm not a bad person and I won't do anything to you."
After saying that, he threw the clothes he picked up back to them. At this time, the tense hearts of the palace ladies relaxed, and some of them said thank you.
Xiao Yu ignored them. He avoided looking at the women getting dressed and turned to leave.
At this time he heard a raging sound.
"Wait a minute..."
Xiao Yu then looked for his voice and heard the same voice again from a large wooden cabinet in the corner: "Sisters don't know, but I know where Prince Jiangxia is."
At this time, a palace maid anxiously shouted: "No!"
Xiao Yu ignored the palace maid, but squinted his eyes and looked straight at the cabinet.
At this time, the cabinet door opened by itself, and a little head suddenly popped out, looking up and down at Xiao Yu curiously.
Xiao Yu's originally narrowed eyes relaxed in surprise, and a smile appeared on his lips.
She was a lovely-looking little palace maid who looked young. She had a round face as plump as a moon disk, and a pair of eyes as smart as clear water. Those eyes in particular were unforgettable.
"You just said you know where Prince Jiangxia is?" Xiao Yu's voice became much gentler.
"I know!"
The little palace maid suddenly jumped out of the closet, which further showed the petiteness of his body, which seemed to be only as high as Xiao Yu's waist.
But her eyes were very smart. She looked at her trembling palace maids for a while, and then looked down at the two corpses lying on the ground. She was not afraid at all when she saw the dead.
It was not until the end that he jumped up to Xiao Yu, raising his little head and looking at him without fear.
"You really know?"
"I said, I know! I followed Sister Yanhong to deliver food."
"Sister Yanhong?"
"Well, Sister Yanhong, she is a female official in the palace and does not live with us."
"Then can you take me there?"
The little maid blinked her eyes, and finally turned to look at the maids, as if asking for their opinions.
She saw someone shaking their head vigorously at her, but she seemed to ignore her sisters' advice and asked boldly: "You asked me to take you to see Prince Jiangxia, then you have to tell me your name and why you are going. Looking for him?"
"My name is Xiao Yu, and Prince Jiangxia is my father."
The little palace maid frowned, and her face seemed to have a maturity and stability that was not consistent with her age.
She didn't feel inferior because she knew Xiao Yu's identity, and she still spoke neither humble nor arrogantly.
"It's a bit similar, so I'll just believe you."
"Can you take me there?"
The little girl nodded, looked at the maids under the wall again, and said, "Sister, I'm going."
"Kitten, there are people killing people outside!" an older palace maid said bravely.
Seeing Xiao Yu looking at her, the palace maid hurriedly adjusted her clothes and wanted to salute. She already knew Xiao Yu's identity, but she couldn't let go of her sister.
"The prince just saved his sisters, Xiaomao has to return the favor to the prince." The little palace maid replied.
The palace maid's eyes showed concern, but she was scared and did not dare to say anything. She could only stand aside silently, looking down at her toes.
Xiao Yu looked at the little palace maid: "Your name is Xiaomao?"
The little palace maid nodded: "Everyone calls me that, Crown Prince, I will take you there now."
The little girl had nimble legs and feet and rushed to the door ahead of Xiao Yu. Seeing that it was raining really hard outside, she went to look for the oil coat in the box nearby.
Xiao Yu took this time to drag the bodies of the two Suwei soldiers into the yard. The older palace maid also stepped forward to help. The other two palace maids also eased away from their fear slightly, but did not dare to Touch those bodies.
Without much effort, Mao Mao found two oil coats, put one on himself, and handed the other to Xiao Yu.
"I don't need it." Xiao Yu replied.
He shook his body, and water dropped from his soaked shirt. He walked to the yard and pulled out the spear from the body of the Su Guards soldier who died in the yard.
The kitten also came to the yard, walking side by side with Xiao Yu, looking at Xiao Yu with its big and smart eyes blinking.
"Are you afraid?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Don't be afraid. I've experienced things a hundred times scarier than this."
Xiao Yu was slightly surprised, but smiled at her.
"If there is any danger, I will protect you."
The little cat smiled at him, then turned his head and waved his hand behind him.
"Sister, I'm leaving! Remember to turn off the lights, and be sure to secure the outer door to prevent bad guys from coming in again!"
Xiao Yu was surprised that she thought carefully.
But the kitten really rushed ahead like a smart kitten and flew into the rain curtain.
A smile spread across Xiao Yu's lips, and he followed behind with his gun in hand.
Thunder rolled outside the door, branches swayed in the wind and rain, and the mottled tree shadows looked like monsters with teeth and claws. From time to time, thunder and lightning tore through the sky.
The kitten's steps were fast, running "shushuashuashua" in the rain. Xiao Yu deliberately followed behind with a few wrong positions.
Terrible things happened everywhere along the way, palace people being killed could be seen everywhere, and there seemed to be harsh sword slashes and shrill wails in the distance under the rain curtain.
Mao Mao leads the way. She is very familiar with the road conditions. When the road is blocked, she can always redesign the route and lead Xiao Yu around those raping and plundering soldiers.
On the way, we also encountered several situations where palace people were killed and the palace guards were outnumbered. However, the balance of power was too great. Xiao Yu wanted to take action but was unable to save the situation, so he had to endure it silently.
The kitten, on the other hand, always watched silently in the dark for a while, then patted Xiao Yu's arm and asked him to follow him.
Xiao Yu felt that there was something unusual about this little palace maid. Her calmness and composure had surpassed those of her age group, even some adults.
The two continued to shuttle between the palace walls under the rain. Unknowingly, their eyes seemed to become a little desolate, and the roads were covered with weeds.
The kitten suddenly stopped. She squatted on the ground and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Xiao Yu followed behind the kitten with his waist crouched, waiting quietly for the kitten to get up.
"There is a sound." the kitten whispered.
Xiao Yu squinted his eyes and listened carefully. His ears were not as sensitive as a kitten's. He could only hear the sound of rain, but could not distinguish other sounds.
"I didn't hear it." Xiao Yu said.
"A few people...well, one is nearby..."
As the kitten was talking, a figure suddenly appeared from under the mottled wall in front of him. He was wearing a wide robe and long sleeves. He kept looking back, looking lost, as if he was avoiding something.
"That's him!" Xiao Yu said, "It seems that he is also avoiding the murder of the Su Guards!"
Kitty sniffed: "He is not from the harem."
Xiao Yu frowned again, and at this moment, a man's noise suddenly came from not far away.
"Were you here just now? Where did you go!"
"Look over there!"
"That man is suspicious, don't let him go!"
Just listen to the noise getting closer and closer to Xiao Yu and the others.
Xiao Yu lowered his head and glanced at the kitten. Her keen observation was really surprising.
At this time, the kitten patted his arm again, meaning that he couldn't go here and had to take a detour.
Just as Xiao Yu was about to turn around, he suddenly felt that the lost figure seemed a little familiar, and he was running towards him.
This is Zhu Yi!
Why is that old boy here?
Thinking back, just an hour ago, Zhu Yi was still following him. At that time, he was only thinking about finding the side hall as soon as possible. He didn't know when he and Zhu Yi ran away.
He was only briefly worried about his guy for a while, but then he thought that the guy was very smart. If he couldn't find him, he would definitely find a way to escape. But he didn't understand that the four palace gates to Yu Street were all in the south. Why would he run north here?
The kitten blinked at this time: "Are you leaving?"
"I know that guy! I have to save him!"
"He doesn't look like a good guy."
"He was never a good guy, but he was useful to me."
The kitten said "oh" in a half-understanding manner.
She never blocked Xiao Yu's actions. At this time, she would hide away. At this moment, she hid in the shadow under the palace wall.
Xiao Yu looked back at the kitten. She was very good at hiding, making her presence almost invisible.
But the most urgent thing now is to save Zhu Yi.
Xiao Yu raised his gun and hid in the dark, watching Zhu Yi closely as he ran towards him.
He must have been chased for a long time, as his "huffing and puffing" sound could be heard from afar.
In the rain curtain behind Zhu Yi, the outlines of several Suwei soldiers gradually became clear.
"Then the official is here!" someone shouted, which was easy to understand.
"Kill him and take his dog head to the palace gatekeeper to collect the reward."
Zhu Yi ran and looked back. He didn't even notice Xiao Yu squatting in the weeds nearby.
Suddenly, something seemed to trip under Zhu Yi's feet. He screamed and fell down into the mud mixed with rain.
"Haha, where is the official? He can't run away." Someone shouted.
I saw five soldiers rushing out of the rain curtain and approaching here.
"The head is mine, don't take it from me!"
The one at the front was the most aggressive. He raised his sword and wanted to chop off Zhu Yi's head.
At this time, Zhu Yi was paralyzed on the ground, and his hands and feet were no longer functioning. When he saw the Huanshou knife coming, he screamed and quickly raised his hands to protect his head.
At this moment, the man suddenly felt someone standing up not far behind him. Before he understood what was going on, he felt a chill in his heart and looked at the spear that pierced his heart in disbelief.
Still suspicious, he opened his mouth, spit out blood, and his tall body crashed to the ground.
The few Su guards who followed him were also startled by the sudden appearance of a gun master, and watched helplessly as he assassinated their brother with one shot.
Zhu Yi was frightened and watched helplessly as the villain raised his weapon high, but it never came down.
But after falling to the ground with a crash, he dared to observe the situation outside through the gaps between his fingers.
He saw a man wielding a gun standing in front of him. He thanked Sanqing in his heart and finally let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also recognized Xiao Yu. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"You're here!"
After walking through the gates of hell, Zhu Yi's words seemed to have mixed feelings as soon as he said them.
Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at Zhu Yi.
"I owe you my life, so I'll pay you back."
At the moment when Xiao Yu was distracted, two of the four Su Guard soldiers in front of him shouted at the same time and raised their guns to stab Xiao Yu.
Although he was half a beat slower, Xiao Yu was not afraid of them. He wrapped the spear in his hand and twisted aside the two spears.
Xiao Yu suddenly withdrew his spear, turned around and swiped it coolly, and the tail of the spear showed its power, knocking the two people away and falling to the ground, vomiting blood.
Zhu Yi was secretly shocked. He knew that Xiao Yu must have learned martial arts from others, but he only thought that he was like other children of the noble family. It was okay to just learn to bully others, but he did not expect that Xiao Yu would let go of the gun these few times. Even among the Five Guards, they are considered superior.
Previously, Cao Chen reported that it was the young prince who took the lead in attacking the house. He couldn't figure it out and didn't believe it. At most, he thought that the young prince was deceived by others. Now look... he does look like a big brother who takes the lead...
Looking at Xiao Yu, he also felt strange in his heart. These Suwei soldiers were still killing people everywhere? They are obviously as fragile as paper.
He didn't sweep away with all his strength, and the two people just flew out as if they had been colluded in advance?
But they really didn't look like they were pretending. They had been beaten until they vomited blood, and they could barely stand up with the help of their companions.
Xiao Yu raised his gun and took a step forward. The four Su guards were frightened and hurriedly took three steps back.
Having already assassinated one person, Xiao Yu had no intention of hurting any more lives, so he said coldly to the other side: "In this life... my guard has... something to do today. I don't want to hurt more lives. I will spare your lives for the time being, but if If you dare to act recklessly here again, if someone finds out, a hundred bloody holes will be poked in each of your bodies."
Xiao Yu's words were obviously meant to be bluffing, but he could kill one and injure two of the opponent so easily. Only then did he realize that his own strength should not be underestimated.
If you think about it carefully, on the one hand, the original owner's body is indeed very talented in martial arts. Furthermore, being chased and beaten by Dendrobium all day in those days also invisibly exercised his actual combat ability.
If you can fight back and forth with Dendrobium, which is low-key but has the ability to "defeat thousands of people", what do these miscellaneous soldiers mean?
Xiao Yu glared at the Su Wei soldiers again angrily.
Several soldiers were so frightened that they peed their pants, and one of them hurriedly handed over his hand: "Your grace for not killing me is like reborn parents to me. We will never dare to do anything wrong again, we will never dare... we will never dare..."
"Go back to the barracks and sleep. There won't be anything for you to do until dawn tomorrow!"
Several soldiers thanked him profusely and gave up their weapons, not to mention their dead brothers. The four of them supported each other and fled back.
At this time, Xiao Yu had time to see Zhu Yi.
The powerful Zhu Shizhong was still sitting in the mud soup. He couldn't get up for a long time. Not only was he breathing heavily, but his legs and feet were shaking violently.
Xiao Yu wanted to pull him up, but he waved his hand, still out of breath, and said: "Huhu... I can't stand up, let me rest for a while... Huhu, it's unreasonable, just a few thieves dare to ride Go to the Prime Minister, I will ask the Five Guards Army to level all their camps sooner or later, let them know how powerful the Prime Minister is, the Prime Minister is Zhu Yi!"
Xiao Yu's face showed disdain: "If they know that you are Zhu Yi, all the rebels will probably chase you and cut off your head."
Zhu Yi quickly shrank his neck, raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu again, his eyes were sad and mournful.
"Okay, okay, don't look at me like that. I really can't stand you." Xiao Yu said, "Why didn't you run away? Run to get reinforcements. Didn't you say you wanted your Five Guards Army to quell the chaos?"
"It's wrong to say something with an unfair name." Zhu Yi thought for a moment and looked indifferent: "If the prince and the young prince don't stand by Wei Chen, Wei Chen will be a disciple of Wu Ming! If he is a disciple of Wu Ming, Wei Chen might as well just stay there In the main tent of the Chinese army, I will wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne and then go and kowtow to show my allegiance."
Xiao Yu glanced at Zhu Yi angrily: "I know what you are thinking in such a crooked way."
Zhu Yi was not angry, he still nodded and bowed to Xiao Yu with great respect.
Even though Zhu Yi showed that he was willing to work together with Xiao Yu at this time, Xiao Yu was still guarding him in his heart. The powerful prime minister was laughing and joking with you on his face, letting go of the past, but he didn't know what he was holding back in his heart.
When Xiao Yu was thinking of this, when he raised his head, the rain suddenly stopped.
But dark clouds still covered the moon, and the earth was still dark.
He was just talking to Zhu Yi, and he almost forgot about the kitten.
He left Zhu Yi and walked towards the shadow where the kitten was hiding just now, calling in his mouth: "Kitten... kitten..."
"Whatever you ask me to do, I'll always be there."
The voice came from behind Xiao Yu. What surprised Xiao Yu was that she was no longer in the shadow where she had just been hiding. How did she get behind him?
Xiao Yu turned around and saw the little palace maid following him quietly.
"You are such a kitten." Xiao Yu smiled and wanted to touch the kitten's head under the oil coat.
The kitten didn't seem to like this intimate gesture and jumped away quickly.
Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed, and Zhu Yi on the side was also curious about the little palace maid, and was looking at her curiously.
Mao Mao seemed to dislike Zhu Yi very much and turned his head away, trying not to let him see his face clearly.
"Kitten, let's keep walking!" Xiao Yu said.
"I'm not leaving." Kitty said suddenly, "I have to go back."
"Why?"
"He was hiding here waiting for you. He must know the way."
This he was referring to Zhu Yi.
