Chapter 1326 Zi Shi
The King of Qi never felt that time was so difficult. The night was dark and the wind was high, and the weather was cold and the earth was frozen. Including the King of Qi, Lu Haosheng, Ma Zhongheng and Mo Lingshuang were all armored.
For Ling Shuang, the armor on her body was too heavy, and her body was slim and it was not suitable for her to wear armor on her body.
In addition to bringing some necessary money on the road, everyone does not have any burden. As time goes by, King Qi tries to calm himself down. Once the hour arrives, he will leave from the right door openly, but then from the Qi Palace to the Xicheng Gate, it is a race against time and life.
In comparison, Qiu Ruxue seems extremely calm. He has been through the world for a long time, has seen too many things, and has experienced countless moments of life and death.
With the sound of footsteps, King Qi took the lead in standing up from the chair. Soon, everyone saw Wang Fu coming quickly. Several people immediately came forward. Wang Fu looked grim and said, "Prince, the time has come. Are you all ready?"
"Tao Wang, we are all ready and can set off at any time." King Qi said immediately.
Wang Fu glanced at everyone, stared at Ling Shuang, and said, "After going out, several people would hold the girl in the middle and hide him. After going out, you don't have to care about other things around you. Follow me and walk out of this street, Qiu Daxia, the next thing will depend on you."
Qiu Ruxue nodded. Wang Fu didn't say much anymore. He waved his hand and turned around and left. Everyone behind him looked at each other and followed him without hesitation.
The group of people quickly walked to the right door. Wang Fu raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop. Then he said to Qiu Ruxue in a low voice: "Hiss Qiu, you guys are here for a while. I will go out and turn the people from the north, listen to my voice, and go out immediately."
Qiu Ruxue Zheng's head is focused.
Wang Fu went out of the door, and King Qi and others held their breath and waited. They heard a sound from outside. After a short while, they heard Wang Fu's voice coming from outside the door, "Prince, you can leave!"
The side door opened, Ma Zhongheng held a big knife in his hand, and was the first to go out. Ling Shuang was followed behind him, King Qi was on the left, Lu Haosheng was on the right, Qiu Ruxue was cut off, and the group went out. Hearing the figure flashed in the south, Wujingwei of the Ximen Bureau all went south, knowing that Wang Fu was transferred, Wang Fu didn't say much, drew his sword in his hand, and led everyone to quickly towards the north. Qiu Ruxue pulled the door up and followed closely.
The wind roared, and the sound of the friction of armor was hidden by the wind. Wang Fu's feet were so fast that everyone behind him knew that this was a time of life and death, and he tried his best to keep up.
This alley is not short. After a while, we reached the end of the alley. Wang Fu turned to another alley. It was pitch black and dim and there was no trace of people around.
Walking down the alley, Wang Fu finally stopped and turned around. He had handed over to Qiu Ruxue. Qiu Ruxue took it. Wang Fu said softly: "Hero Qiu, this is the token of the head of the Ximen Bureau. You may not encounter patrols on the road. With this token, it may be of little use...!" He bowed to everyone and said: "Everyone, you have left the palace, go along this street, and go to the second street intersection, and turn south. I have checked this road. There are no obstacles. I can't accompany you in the road behind. Take care of you all the way!"
Everyone knew in their hearts that after this parting, there might be no future. King Qi took the lead, Lu Haosheng and others bowed, and Ling Shuang even understood that Wang Fu was sacrificing his life for justice. Although he was wearing armor, he still bowed with a tribute. Qiu Ruxue quickly stepped forward, hugged Wang Fu in his arms, and then said in a deep voice: "You can't die, we are waiting for you in the northwest!"
Wang Fu smiled and nodded. Qiu Ruxue knew that he could not delay, so he stopped talking. He waved his hand and led the way first. Everyone followed behind him and took a few steps. Everyone looked back and saw that Wang Fu had turned around, his body was lonely, and he was walking back.
Wang Fu walked very fast and looked solemn. When he returned to the long street, he had not yet reached the right door, and saw several soldiers from the Ximen Bureau heading south coming towards him.
"Tao Wang, there is no movement. Are you dazzled?" A soldier couldn't help asking when he saw Wang Fu: "We walked to the streets and didn't see the suspicious person!"
Wang Fu rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid I'm not in good spirits after staying up late for a while. Forget it, you each guard your own position... Oh, by the way, the brothers inside are so tired. Why don't you go in and rotate and let them take a break?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several Wu Jingwei walked away in all directions and returned to their own positions, fearing that Wang Fu would be pulled in to work as a coolie.
Wang Fu walked to the door, sat on the threshold, looked up at the black sky, his expression was relaxed at this moment.
...
...
Qiu Ruxue led everyone along the long street to the second bend, and according to Wang Fu's words, he turned south. He really didn't meet a single person along the way.
This is Xicheng District, where court officials are concentrated, mainly the residences of court officials. The Qi Palace is close to the imperial gate and is in the center of Xicheng. The further you go out, the smaller the position of officials will be.
However, this place is a key area, and the officials gathered in court, so defense has always been very important. Even in the cold winter, patrol soldiers will suddenly appear regardless of day or night.
Qiu Ruxue was extremely cautious and used himself as a scout, allowing King Qi and others to keep a certain distance from him and explore the way forward. However, if you find it, you can remind everyone behind that if the distance is too close, you are afraid that King Qi and Ling Shuang and others will not be able to react for a while. After all, except for Ma Zhongheng who is from a corps, Lu Haosheng and Ling Shuang have no martial arts foundation, and their reactions are naturally not as fast as those who practice martial arts. As for King Qi, although he has practiced martial arts, he has almost practiced fiction and embroidered skills, and there is no actual combat. When encountering emergencies, his reaction may not be much better than Lu Haosheng and Ling Shuang.
Luo'an Jing City has been through three dynasties and is truly the largest capital of the Central Plains. There are nearly one million officials and citizens in the city, which is extremely large. Even if you start from the Qi Palace in Xicheng, it is a long distance from the Xicheng Gate. There are several yards in the yards, which are crisscrossed and crisscrossed. If you have any mistakes, you will get lost and avoid the most frequent patrols, so you can only find some remote paths.
Even people living in the Xicheng District of the capital may not be able to know the roads of each yard in Xicheng, not to mention that several yards are connected. For a long time, in order to demonstrate the situation and order of the imperial capital, the plans of each yard are very similar, just like Eryuanfang and Dayuanfang, which belong to completely different regions, and Dayuanfang is much more prosperous and lively than Eryuanfang. However, at night, the lights are turned off and walking on the streets, it is difficult to distinguish whether they are in Dayuanfang or Eryuanfang. Moreover, Qiu Ruxu and his group have to quietly arrive at the Xicheng Gate. In order not to attract attention, they cannot ignite the fire, and can only move forward in the dark night of winter.
Fortunately, Qiu Ruxue recorded the retreat route in advance and led everyone forward with his memory. He was just in the crisscrossing neighbors. Sometimes even Qiu Ruxue had to stop and think about it carefully.
The King of Qi has always been very nervous. He knew very well that leaving the King of Qi's mansion does not mean safety. On the contrary, as long as you don't leave the West City Gate for a moment, danger will come at any time.
Although Wang Fu stayed there, no one can guarantee that Wu Jingwei would not find any flaws, nor can he guarantee that Wang Fu would be foolproof. Whether it was Wang Fu or here, as long as there was a slight omission, all efforts would be wasted.
Wearing cold armor and traveling through the crisscrossing streets, it was okay for Ma Zhongheng and Qiu Ruxue to do so, but it was a bit difficult for the other three to carry heavy armor, especially Ling Shuang, who was just a weak woman, and the armor on her body was extremely unfit, which was very uncomfortable. In addition to the weight of the armor, Ling Shuang was even more difficult. But she knew that tonight was extraordinary, and she had to grit her teeth and hold on anyway.
Qiu Ruxue is worthy of being experienced. He encountered the patrol twice along the way. Fortunately, Qiu Ruxue heard the news early and led a few people to hide. If he hesitated, he would probably find signs by the patrol.
Once the patrol team finds signs, Qiu Ruxue will be useless even if he has the token of Ximen Bureau in his hand. After all, Ma Zhongheng looks like a man from a corps, but no matter whether he is a King of Qi or Lu Haosheng, he is not a soldier. In addition, a delicate girl wearing armor and being discovered by the patrol team, he will inevitably find the problem. Such a few people were walking sneakily on the street in the middle of the night in the middle of the night. The patrol team naturally had to interrogate carefully. Once they took action, they would definitely attract more patrol soldiers and would never be able to escape.
As time passed, several people were traveling through alleys, Qiu Ruxue was leading the way, and everyone didn't ask much. After most of the day, the King of Qi no longer knew where he was, nor how far he was from the city gate. But he estimated that time had passed without realizing it.
"It's coming soon!" Qiu Ruxue and his few people turned to an alley and saw a flagpole standing in front of him. There was a white flag hanging on the flagpole. He couldn't see what was written on it for a while.
"Ah?" King Qi was delighted. He didn't expect it to be so smooth. It was estimated that it would be less than two hours. It would be much smoother than he expected. "The city gate is coming soon?"
Qiu Ruxue turned his head and shook his head and said, "It's still far from the West City Gate. We went around for most of the day, but we just bypassed the tight patrol place and returned to the route we planned. If we didn't circle this circle, we would only take half an hour to get here...!"
The King of Qi was stunned and a little depressed.
Ma Zhongheng asked softly: "Xu Daxia, it should be a long way from the city gate here, and there are only more than three hours left. We must speed up."
He had been the general flag of Xicheng, but he didn't have a long time, but he knew that he had just circled around and was still far from the city gate.
"Another crossing the street, there will be people who will be able to meet us." Qiu Ruxue smiled and said, "If we connect with them, we will be much faster." Without saying a word, he led everyone forward. After a moment, he turned into an alley, which was dark and extremely dark. After only a short moment, a voice came from the front: "Who is it?"
