Looking at the eldest prince who was sticking out his butt, biting his cheeks, and struggling to lift the stone at the entrance of the secret passage, Shen Yong curled his lips and sneered.
"Do you want me to lend you a hand? Hmm?"
The eldest prince, who was about ten years old, was as thin as a piece of firewood. I don’t know how people in the palace raise children.
It turns out that the more carefully they are fed, the harder it is to keep them alive. These princes are not as strong as the children of ordinary people's families.
The eldest prince paused, and turned to look at the prison door with a look of horror.
“You…you you you…”
The Queen's pupils trembled, and she hurriedly turned around and took two steps to stand in front of the eldest prince, opened her arms to block Shen Yong, and shouted,
"My prince, run!"
"You...you are not allowed to come here!!"
Seeing this, the Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and immediately pounced on Shen Yong.
Things have come to this point, I can only fight and bet that Chen Yong will not lay a hand on a woman...
“...Uh~~~~”
Before the Queen Mother could pounce on Shen Yong, she felt a pain on the back of her neck and fell heavily to the ground.
"Mother!!" Emperor Tianwu looked at the fallen Queen Mother and shouted in panic, glaring at Shen Yong.
"You...you beast, my mother is old, how could you have the heart to..."
Chen Yong turned around and glanced coldly at Emperor Xiang Tianwu, "There are many people in this world who are older than your mother. They can't even have a full meal, and you don't seem to be able to bear it."
"Why, your mother is a mother, but others' isn't!?"
Chen Yong looked at Xuanyuan Xi's pale face, sneered, and turned to look at the dumbfounded queen and the eldest prince.
"Do you need me to take you back?"
“…No…No…No need…” The Queen met Chen Yong’s cold eyes and quickly shook her head.
She turned her head to glance at the eldest prince, gave him a wink, then hurriedly walked towards her cell with her skirt lifted.
The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes to look at the little eunuch lying beside the entrance of the secret passage, then glanced at his grandmother lying at the door of the cell, and instantly lost the strength to struggle.
He withdrew his hand that was pressing on the entrance of the secret passage, pulled the corner of his lips awkwardly, slowly stood up and walked out of the cell.
When he reached the Queen Mother, the eldest prince hesitated for a moment, glanced at Chen Yong, squatted down, put his hands under the Queen Mother's armpits, and carefully dragged her into his cell.
His grandmother was very kind to him, and he couldn't bear to see her lying on the cold ground.
Besides, his grandmother was just knocked unconscious and not dead yet. He couldn't just ignore her.
Chen Yong looked at the eldest prince in surprise, his eyebrows raised slightly.
The Xuanyuan family also has a child who is somewhat filial.
However, he obviously doesn't have much filial piety, otherwise he wouldn't have let his own mother protect him while he escaped.
Shen Yong curled his lips into a smile, raised his hand and clapped his hands.
“Bang!”
The guards who had been waiting at the door rushed over immediately.
Shen Yong raised his chin slightly.
"Close the cell door and keep it under strict guard."
"Drag him out of the shed and torture him severely!"
Xuanyuan Xi listened to Shen Yong's words, his eyes widened in shock, and his lips trembled unconsciously.
Little... the eunuch is not dead! ?
That... is it.
Following the clue of the little eunuch, Shen Yong might find out all the hidden secrets in the palace.
In an instant, Xuanyuan Xi's straight back collapsed.
The hope of escape became increasingly slim.
"Yes!" the guards responded.
There was a rattling sound of chains, and the three cell doors were locked again.
The unconscious young eunuch was also dragged out by the guards.
Xiaopengzi had not received much training, and after being tormented by the guards for a few seconds, he immediately confessed everything he knew.
With his transparent identity in the palace, he only knew these two people behind the scenes.
These people were originally kept by the royal family as a precautionary measure, and they were never expected to be used at all.
Therefore, these people are trained by the old eunuchs who lead them, and how well they can be trained depends on the methods of the old eunuchs.
That night, the guards came out of the small shed and gave the clues to the two men. They tortured them one after another, and the secret clues were gradually pulled out.
When the sky was getting light, more than half of the palace maids and eunuchs, who were already few in number, were gone in an instant.
Many guards were also arrested.
The whole night was filled with panic in the palace. In order to gain merit, everyone pointed out any suspicious people they found.
The palace guards were busy all night long, with no time to rest.
........
"Boom boom~"
A roar passed overhead, and the drowsy crowd was instantly awakened. Yi Zhengjin widened his eyes and looked at the strange object flying away overhead in horror.
The deputy general looked at Yi Zhengjin in panic and stammered,
"Oh...damn it, I saw something huge flying in the sky..."
The deputy general's words immediately brought the stunned crowd back to their senses, and the elders all echoed him anxiously.
"I...I saw it too. It was flying so fast. What on earth was that thing?"
"Could it be possible...that there really are monsters?!"
"But why don't monsters eat us?"
“.......”
Yes, if they are monsters, then why not eat them?
Monsters all eat people. There are so many of them in the wilderness, there is no reason for the monsters not to eat them.
Everyone was confused because of this sentence.
Everyone was stunned as they watched the unidentified object flying farther and farther away.
Yi Zhengjin frowned and looked away, then turned to look towards the capital.
"Return to the capital early tomorrow morning!"
Two days ago, he heard bursts of strange bombing sounds. He panicked and led his soldiers to speed up.
However, taking the shortcut still took a long way around, and it took two days of hard work before we reached Menglan City.
Seeing that the strange thing just now flew towards the capital, he was really curious about what Shen Yong did in the capital.
The deputy generals were stunned and looked at Yi Zhengjin in surprise.
"Commander Yi, this is inappropriate, isn't it?!"
"We're going to the Santong Mountains to suppress bandits under the Emperor's orders. How can we go back when we haven't even reached the destination yet?!"
The others nodded in agreement, "Yes, we haven't caught any of the bandits yet. If we go back like this, we'll probably be punished by the Emperor."
"We are almost at Menglan City. Let's speed up a bit so we can celebrate the New Year in Menglan City."
"That's right. If we go back now, we'll have to spend the New Year in the wilderness..."
“.......”
Everyone was talking at once, one after another, and no one wanted to go back except Yi Zhengjin.
After so many days of hard travel, we are finally almost at Menglan City. Who would want to go back?
The most important thing is that the emperor's order has not been completed yet, and there will be no good life if I go back.
Yi Zhengjin pinched his eyebrows and shouted,
"Everyone, be quiet!"
