Chapter 851 Fire Escape

Zhang Yanling's solution to the enemy outside was simple and crude. After knocking on the door, he threw three golden gourds with blue smoke into the small room, and then closed the door. After a few rumblings, Captain Kaka and the remaining Folangji soldiers were all covered in it.

According to Zhang Yanling's estimate, this dungeon should be twenty or thirty meters below the castle, with only one passage leading outward. The explosion of the Golden Gourd Thunder under the ground should not be heard by the enemies on the castle ground. At most, a muffled sound was heard, and nowhere was known. Perhaps he thought it was a muffled thunder in the sky.

Besides, even if you hear it, there is no way to deal with these enemies quickly. At this point, Zhang Yanling could only rescue the person quickly and immediately find a way to meet with Chen Shiyi and others who were supporting him.

Zhang Yanling didn't care about Almeida, who was smelly all over, tied him up with ropes and tied him to his back, and took Helena and Catherine out. When he passed the small house, Captain Kaka and others were lying in the room, the bloody bodies of Captain Kaka and others were lying in the room, which broke his hands and feet, and the bloody situation almost made Catherine and Helena faint.

Although he was afraid, he was also aware that the Duke was skillful and eliminated the obstacles.

The three of them quickly followed the spiral stairs to the small yard at the exit. The first thing the three of them did was to breathe fresh air in big breaths, restore their physical strength, and wake up their heads, which were dizzy by the stench.

It seemed very quiet outside, and Zhang Yanling was not wrong. The explosion underground did not attract the attention of everyone on the ground. After all, it was just three golden gourds, not a huge explosion activity underground. Otherwise, there would be some vibration and roar on the ground.

The question now is, how to get out of here is a huge problem. If Almeida and the two girls can be brought to the hillside forest on the south side of the castle, it would be a good place to hide. Chen Shiyi and the others should come to pick them up tonight. Once you get on the boat, everything will be easy.

However, there were soldiers patrolling the castle around the castle, and a group of people such as Governor Waya were still waiting at the door. It was impossible to leave in this situation.

The three of them discussed for a while, and naturally the two girls had no idea and had to count on Zhang Yanling to make an idea.

After Zhang Yanling thought carefully, he said in a deep voice: "There are two choices right now. One is to find a secret room and settle Mr. Almeida first. Let's go back and save him and leave. Otherwise, you will not be able to leave the castle with him."

Helena stared at Zhang Yanling with her big eyes and said, "Do you want to leave my father?"

Zhang Yanling said: "It's not that he is left behind, but that he is temporarily settled. Clean and bandage him and settle in a safe place. Even if they find that the person is gone, they will not suspect that he is still in the castle. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest. I will come and rescue him when I look back."

Helena shook her head and said, "I understand what you mean, Lord Duke, you take Catherine away. I can't leave my father. I'm here to save him. He looks like this and he will die. What can you do to come back to save him? When we come again, he... he is afraid he will be dead long ago."

Zhang Yanling thought to himself: "Do you think your father can still survive? It's a death to rescue him, but he's just a lingering life."

But how can you say this? Just frown and don't say anything.

Catherine also said: "Sir, it is probably inappropriate to leave Mr. Almeida here. If Helena doesn't leave, I won't leave either. We can't leave them."

Zhang Yanling had no time to explain to them that his troops would launch an attack in different directions. As long as Almeda escaped from Alfonso's control, as long as he could persist until he conquered the Port of Manraga, he would definitely be able to rescue him. But now it would take a lot of verbal talk to them.

"Since that's the case, we can only use the second method. We have to create chaos and escape in the chaos. Otherwise, we will not have the opportunity to escape. As long as we successfully escape to the forest under the hillside, my people will come to pick us up. We will be able to leave by boat. Of course, this is the most ideal consideration." Zhang Yanling said.

Helena said: "How to create chaos?"

Zhang Yanling said: "For example, arson the castle will burn. Once the fire breaks out, the sound will be chaotic, and we will have a chance. Helena, this is your home, and it is up to you to decide."

Helena said: "But once the fire catches, it is afraid that it is not only the people around the manor, but Alfonso will be alarmed, and he will come with his men. Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"

Zhang Yanling said, "This is what I am about to remind you. Alfonso will be alarmed. Unless they believe that we are burned to death in the castle, they will be searched for it. If we cannot escape in time, the situation will be very bad. We will be trapped here. But there is no perfect way to do this. If we decide to do this, we cannot think too much. In short, act according to the opportunity and deal with it carefully. The rest can only be left to God."

Catherine whispered: "God will bless us. Helena seems to have to do this. It is impossible to leave Mr. Almeda."

Helena nodded slightly, looked up at Zhang Yanling and said, "If something goes wrong, wouldn't it cause you to die with us? This is something I can't feel at ease."

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "I promise you to come and save people, and I won't think about the consequences. Otherwise, why should I take the risk? Our Ming Empire has a saying called "a promise of a thousand gold". Believe in words and do what you do. This is the responsibility of the Ming men. There is no need to worry too much about other things. I believe we can escape. Even if we can't escape, Alfonso won't want to catch me. How could I be a prisoner at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty? Don't think about anything, act. The longer the delay, the more dangerous it is."

Helena was extremely grateful. Although she herself had the will to die, it was obviously something that Zhang Yanling could take risks for her. Don’t talk about the agreement between the two parties, the situation at this moment was extremely dangerous and it was likely to send her life here. This was not something that the so-called agreement could compensate and explain. It can only be said that Zhang Yanling was willing to take this risk for herself. This is no longer an agreement, but a friendship.

"Sir Duke, you are doing this to me, and I will repay you in the future." Helena whispered.

Zhang Yanling waved his hand and said, "Don't talk, which room is the most suitable for arson? Go and do it quickly."

Helena gritted her teeth and turned around and disappeared into the dark castle corridor.

Outside the castle, Woya and others were anxious. He paced back and forth on the grass, looking at the castle of Heiba ​​from time to time. He asked several guards to come in and urge him, but the guards refused. These guards were unwilling to go to the dungeon. They had been there, and going down was like walking from hell, and they were unwilling to do so. Unless they lost a bet, they had no choice but to be a job, they would never go down.

Suddenly, a light flashed on the second floor on the west side of the castle in the darkness. This was very conspicuous in the darkness. The castle was empty and there was no one living there. The house in the west head was filled with miscellaneous things, and even a place where no one had ever been around. How could there be light?

The first reaction of those who saw the light was that it must be the lights. They just didn't know why there were lights. But soon, they found something was wrong. The fire became bigger and bigger, and it was not until a ball of fire came out of the window that they suddenly realized that it was a fire, not a light.

Not only the room on the second floor of the West Head, but soon, the room on the lower floor of the first floor was also blazing. The first floor of the West Head was the servants and kitchen hall. At this moment, through the window, you can see the blazing fire swallowing the heavy curtains, igniting the dining room tables and chairs, carpets and piles of firewood.

From the discovery of the fire, to the burning fire, it took less than a cup of tea in the middle. The entire west side of the castle was filled with fire and smoke. The west wind stormed, and the fire spread rapidly. The fire had already rushed to the third floor, spreading all the way to the high and east sides.

Don’t think that the castle is made of stone and cannot catch fire. The main body of the castle’s exterior wall is indeed stone, but there are a large number of wooden beams and frames of window decorations, interiors, furnishings, etc. in the middle. These are all extremely easy to catch fire. The more luxurious the decoration, the walls and the ground are filled with a large number of felt blankets and tapestries, portraits, curtains, etc., which spread very quickly. Once the fire catches, if not extinguished in time, all the castles will spread.

The fire quickly became fierce, and Governor Woya and the guards outside were shocked.

Governor Woya was stunned for a moment and suddenly shouted loudly: "Put the fire quickly, I, Catherine, are still inside. Put the fire quickly."

The guards were also panicked. The guards who were patrolling nearby gathered, but they had no choice but to face the castle with a huge fire and smoke. No one was willing to risk rushing in to save people. This kind of fire was like dying.

Not only did they refuse to save them, they also stayed away from the castle to prevent the falling flames and the wooden beams of the window frames that collapsed. They all looked at the fire from a distance in a daze, letting Governor Woya shout loudly, and no one came forward to put out the fire.

The fire quickly swallowed half of the castle, and the fire had obviously reached an uncontrollable situation. The flames shone brightly within a radius of hundreds of steps, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the burning castle, and there was no time to notice other things.

On the southwest side of the castle, several dark shadows climbed the rope from the window on the second floor and then quickly fled to the outside of the dark manor wall. No one noticed their actions.

After successfully climbing over the wooden fence of the manor, Zhang Yanling carried Almeida and led Helena and Catherine into the dense forest. Soon after, several exhausted people stopped under the cliff at the side of the mountain.

Zhang Yanling was covered in stinky sweat and exhausted. Tonight was his most embarrassing night. Almeida was stinky all over, making Zhang Yanling's body stinky. The tall Almeida was extremely heavy, which made Zhang Yanling exhausted. At this moment, there was a pool under the fast cliff, which saved Zhang Yanling's life.

"Just hide here and clean Mr. Almeida's body and apply medicine. I will also clean myself up." Zhang Yanling said.

The two women agreed, and they were both tired and dirty and smelly.

So Zhang Yanling carried Almeida to a place where he was floating out of the water under the pond, and jumped into the water with a thud and started cleaning it for him.
