Thinking of this, Xia Zhe couldn't sit still for a second!

Without even having time to eat lunch, he stood up and ran quickly to the bedroom.

While running, he gave instructions to Lillian.

"Go pick me a fast horse! Oh no, a carriage pulled by four fast horses! Wait for me at the end of the palace avenue! I want to go out of the city and take a look!"

"yes!"

Sensing Wang's eagerness, Lillian immediately began to make preparations.

Just as the carriage was ready, Xia Zhe came over with a big cloth bag.

Inside were several gold and jade artifacts that Xia Zhe had hurriedly taken out from his bedroom.

When you flee, you always need money.

Don’t take anything else, but you must bring something that can be exchanged for money.

"Please take your seat, King! We are leaving the city now!"

Not daring to ask what was in Wang's cloth bag, Lillian just opened the door and led Xia Zhe into the carriage.

Four palace guards and a coachman were already waiting in the carriage.

With a flick of the coachman's whip, four horses pulled the carriage out of the palace gate.

The streets are already crowded!

Although everyone hoped that their army would win, Macedonia's reputation was too great, and many citizens still chose to flee.

The fleeing people filled the streets and alleys!

Normally, it only takes a dozen minutes to drive from the palace to the city gate. But this time, Xia Zhe's carriage took more than half an hour to move only a small distance.

"Can you hurry up! I'm so anxious!" Xia Zhe in the car urged anxiously.

He knew that the southwest border was the closest to Stobi City.

If they march quickly, the light cavalry will be able to reach the city in two or three hours!

Given the fighting power of their motley crowd, it would probably only take a dozen minutes for them to be defeated by the Macedonian regular army.

If the Macedonian army takes advantage of the victory and advances, I'm afraid they will be not far from the city of Stobi!

"The road is too crowded! The carriage is too big to move! If the king is really anxious, he might as well abandon the carriage and ride a horse to rush to the battlefield to command!" Lillian reminded.

Abandon the car and ride a horse?

Rush to the battlefield to command?

Xia Zhe glared at Lillian fiercely and almost cursed.

Why would I ask you to prepare a carriage if you can ride a horse?

Aren't you just bringing up something that is not related to the topic?

Also, rush to the battlefield to command?

What the hell are you doing?

I'm trying to escape, understand?

If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to leave!

The only option now is to abandon the car.

But where should he go after abandoning the car? Xia Zhe was a bit embarrassed.

Go back to the palace?

Are you waiting to be caught by the Macedonian army? That’s absolutely not possible!

Out of town?

That direction is so crowded that it is impossible to move forward!

Moreover, without the carriage, even if they could barely squeeze out of the city, it would take too much time.

If the Macedonian cavalry catches up, crossing the vast plain north of the city on foot would be tantamount to seeking death!

Now is the time to flee. Even if I reveal my identity as a king, people with cars may not accept my offer and give me a ride!

The greater possibility is that he was beaten to death on the spot by the angry crowd!

"Lilian! Do you know where there is a secret passage out of the city?" Xia Zhe asked anxiously.

Secret passage?

Does the king want to quickly leave the city through the secret passage and rush to the battlefield to command the army?

Lillian was stunned when she heard this and thought of a place.

"Secret passage! Yes! There is a secret passage next to the west wall of the palace! When the imperial guards rioted five years ago, the old king left from there. Lillian also followed him there!" Lillian replied.

"Is the direction correct?" Xia Zhe asked again.

Having a secret passage is good, but the direction of the exit is also important.

Don't try to escape the city only to run into the Macedonian army. That would be courting death!

"Yes! It's exactly in that direction!" Lillian replied.

Isn't the king planning to leave the city quickly and lead the army into battle? That's perfect!

The exit of the secret passage is right in the southwest direction!

"Alright! Everyone, quickly abandon your vehicles and return to the palace, then leave the city through the secret passage!"

He never thought that Lillian's idea of ​​direction was different from his own. Xia Zhe did not dare to delay and immediately gave Lillian instructions.

"Yes!" Lillian and several guards answered.

Then, everyone hurriedly got off the car and ran towards the palace on foot in the opposite direction.

Arriving at the location under the west palace wall, Lillian performed a series of operations.

Click...

An underground secret passage about one meter wide and two meters high was revealed.

Without any hesitation, Xia Zhe immediately let Lillian lead the way.

Several people walked one after another, guided by the torch in Lillian's hand, and moved quickly through the secret passage where the direction was unclear.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I seemed to have reached the end of the secret passage.

Lillian started operating again.

Click...

The wall on one side slid open, letting in natural light, but it wasn't very strong.

"We're here! There's a cave outside. Go out of the cave and you'll be in the wilderness!" Lillian explained.

"Excellent! Let's get out of here!"

Xia Zhe was so happy to hear this that he wanted to rush over and give Lillian a kiss.

He entered the cave with a few guards and hurried towards the exit.

"Who?"

Before he had taken a few steps, a guard suddenly shouted, startling Xia Zhe.

"Damn Stobi people! I hid here, but you still found me! I'm going to fight you!" A man said angrily.

Hearing this, Xia Zhe subconsciously threw away the heavy bag in his hand.

There was a loud bang as the weapon hit the person who was speaking. The weapon in his hand fell to the ground.

At the same time, the four guards around Xia Zhe rushed out at the same time and wrestled with the opponent.
