The dull little eunuch nodded, "Your Majesty, we are the secret guards of the emperors of all dynasties. We will only appear to save you when your life is in danger!"
Gu Zhenting was startled, "Consciousness is..."
"I know a secret passage that can protect Your Majesty and help him leave Yanjing City secretly. I can also help Your Majesty kill King Wensheng! I can also help Your Majesty contact trusted ministers and make a comeback!"
Gu Zhenting was overjoyed. He thought he had reached the bottom. He didn't even dare to hope to kill King Wensheng. Unexpectedly, he could not only kill him, but also make a comeback!
"Okay, okay, okay, then help me kill King Wensheng!" Gu Zhenting thought that in addition to King Wensheng's army, there was also the army of the Great Jin, so there was indeed no way to stay in Yanjing City.
"We will arrange for someone to kill King Wensheng tonight, and then, tonight, we will leave Yanjing City through the secret passage!"
Gu Zhenting sneered. Since those ministers dared to openly defy him, they should just wait for the Jin army to come and encircle and suppress them! They all deserved it.
"By the way, what's your name?" Gu Zhenting asked.
"Ryuji!"
"Okay, Long Er, who else is the secret guard besides you?"
Long Er snapped his fingers, and instantly more than twenty people in eunuch uniforms appeared in the hall.
"Is that all?" Gu Zhenting was obviously a little dissatisfied.
"There are fifty people in total, and half of them will go to complete other tasks!" Long Er bowed.
Gu Zhenting raised his eyebrows and was about to ask more questions when he heard the panicked sounds of people running outside, as well as the sounds of "Charge!" and other ice silks colliding.
"This!" Gu Zhenting jumped up from his chair, his palms sweating and he became panicked.
Long Er was not panicked and asked, "Your Majesty, it seems that we can't wait until dark. Should we leave through the secret passage now?"
Gu Zhenting nodded quickly. He also ordered, "Remember, you must kill that traitor Gu Zhenxiao!"
Long Er bowed in response.
"My ladies, do you want to bring the prince and princess along?"
Gu Zhenting paused and shook his head, "Forget it, the ladies will be a burden if we take them along. They are all women, nothing will happen to them!" Even if something happens, it's their fate!
"As for the two princes, you can send someone to send them out together!" While speaking, he did not mention the other two princesses at all.
Long Er made a gesture to the two people behind him, and the two eunuchs slipped out.
Long Er raised his hand respectfully and said to Gu Zhenting.
"Your Majesty, this way please!"
Gu Zhenting followed him to the back hall, the bedroom. He saw Long Er on one side of the bed. A candlestick turned and the bed board was lifted up, revealing a dark hole underneath.
Long Er lit the tinder, then walked in first.
Gu Zhenting was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that there was a secret passage underneath the place where he slept every day. This made his back shiver.
But now he couldn't care less and could only follow Long Er, following him step by step, and walked on. The others followed him as well.
After everyone walked in, the bed board closed automatically, leaving no trace.
…
King Wensheng was wearing silver armor stained with blood and holding a sword. After a while, he finally rushed into the palace hall, but there was no sign of Gu Zhenting.
"Where is my royal brother?" King Wensheng asked his general with a gloomy face.
The general quickly sent people to look for them, but found nothing. Even the two princes were missing.
Only a young eunuch was caught. The young eunuch was timid and didn't dare to raise his head.
"Just tell me the truth when I ask you a question. Where is the emperor?" a general asked fiercely, frightening the young eunuch.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The little eunuch's voice trembled with fear. Suddenly, he raised his head and smiled at King Wensheng.
"The Emperor ordered me to kill you, the traitor!"
When no one reacted.
With a few "swish" sounds, several dark and shiny hidden weapons flew directly towards King Wensheng's face. Even though everyone quickly blocked them, two darts still hit King Wensheng's shoulder and throat respectively. King Wensheng died on the spot.
Everyone was horrified and lost their composure.
The young eunuch also disappeared in the panic.
"My Lord, My Lord!"
"Oh no, this hidden weapon is poisonous!"
"The prince is dead!"
After being shocked, everyone became confused and leaderless. They didn't know what to do.
…
On the hillside outside Yanjing City, Shangguan Yanli looked at the opened city gate with a cold and calm expression.
Behind her, a man walked slowly, dressed as a knight, it was Yue Chenghan.
"Are you sad?"
Shangguan Yanli chuckled and turned to look at him. "What's the difference between being sad and not being sad? It's just a waste of time! Now that things have come to this, I have done what I should and shouldn't do! It's time to leave!"
Yue Chenghan opened his mouth, his eyes filled with indescribable joy, and walked forward and hugged the person in his arms.
"You mean you can leave with me?"
Shangguan Yanli glared at him, then touched her belly and said angrily.
"Your belly is showing, what else can I do? I can only follow you!"
Yue Chenghan's eyebrows were full of pride, and he succeeded just that time! Sure enough, it was right to listen to the junior sister, and just go for it! Not only did he win the wife, but he also had a child! There is no better deal than this! It's just a pity that he can't do anything casually, hey! This can be considered a gain and a loss!
Yue Chenghan frowned, thinking of something.
"Isn't it a bad idea to let the Great Jin take over the city of Yanjing just like this?" After all, the Great Jin is a foreign race, not of our kind, and their hearts must be different.
Shangguan Yanli looked towards the direction of Yanjing City and sneered, "Tuoba Yan is dreaming! His nemesis will be here soon! When the time comes, he will die an ugly death!"
He really thought that all people were traitors who sold out their country for personal gain. Unfortunately, he misjudged people, and the price of misjudging people is death.
…
On the other side, Ye Xinran visited the eldest princess.
The old maid who was with the eldest princess received her. She sighed and looked worried.
Ye Xinran saw it, but pretended not to see it, and had no intention of asking further questions. Everyone is the master of their own body, and she would not force the patients to do what she said. She respected their choices.
Seeing the eldest princess sitting in the inner room with a sallow and haggard face, Ye Xinran was stunned for a moment. After not seeing her for a few days, her condition seemed to have worsened. I'm afraid that the effect of surgery at this time will not be great.
"Princess, you're here! I'm sorry to have embarrassed you in this state." The eldest princess curled her lips and sat there stiffly.
Ye Xinran sat down in the chair opposite her.
"I'm here to say goodbye to the Princess! We're planning to go to Tianjiang City."
The princess was surprised for a moment, then figured it out herself and nodded, "It's also good to go to Tianjiang City. It's much more prosperous than here, and it's more convenient in every way."
Ye Xinran nodded, thought about it, took out a bottle of painkillers from the space and handed it over.
"This is just for temporary pain relief, it doesn't cure any disease. If you're really feeling uncomfortable, Princess, just take one!"
The old lady took it gratefully, with tears in her eyes.
The princess pursed her lips and asked, "If I have surgery and cut that part off, will it definitely heal?"
Ye Xinran shook her head.
