Chapter 96 Break into the house to save people!
The secret passage was filled with broken stones and piles of soil, blocking the passage tightly.
Tears welled up in Zhao Wanjun's eyes.
Could it be that all this ended because of the collapse of the secret passage?
However......
"..."
"Wan Jun?"
Suddenly, a deep and mature voice came from behind the broken soil and boulders.
The sound came through tiny gaps and seemed very muffled.
Zhao Wanjun was shocked.
"Dad, Mom, are you okay?"
A response came from behind the pile of earth and stones.
"Wanjun, we're fine!"
"How did you get into the underground tunnel? But has the Qian Kingdom changed again?"
The voice in the secret passage was very excited.
Another gentle but heavy voice came out:
"Zhao Jiawanjun? What is the current situation of our Qian Kingdom?"
It was obviously the Emperor Qian who had been trapped for a long time.
They hid in a secret passage for more than two years!
In the early days, they also took the risk of trying to leave the capital.
However, the guards sent by the prime minister became increasingly strict, and they had no choice but to return to the tunnel.
Not to mention that they were running out of food and water, the only area they could move around in was the secret passage and the secret room connected to it.
Outside the secret room is Zhao’s residence.
But outside the Zhao Mansion, there were layers of patrolling soldiers.
When they felt suffocated in the secret passage, they could only go to the secret room and look at the boundless sky outside, but they did not dare to walk out of the room, and they did not even dare to make any loud noise.
Emperor Qian did have a few guards who managed to escape, but they were also discovered in the capital.
In the end, it only alerted the enemy and made the situation more serious.
Fortunately, those guards were loyal and did not reveal any information until their death.
Zhao Wanjun was worried that the people from the yamen would come back, so he quickly told his parents, Emperor Qian and others in the secret passage what happened.
Emperor Qian's voice sounded somewhat suspicious:
"An Yue?"
"I originally thought that Emperor Anyue would pay tribute to the Xu Kingdom in order to protect himself."
Zhao Wanjun sighed:
"The Moon Emperor is a man of great talent and vision, and he will not act in this way."
"He sent out an army of 200,000 to help the Qian Kingdom stabilize the situation."
"But His Majesty the Moon Emperor also said frankly that he can only trust you and not the rebellious minister."
Emperor Qian was silent.
The leader of the Moon Emperor's guards said it succinctly:
"Your Majesty, the secret passage has collapsed. We can no longer pass through here."
"In order to avoid being surrounded by people from the government office, we will take our leave first."
"Please be prepared to leave at any time."
There was a sigh from behind the pile of earth and rocks, and he was obviously helpless.
Zhao Wanjun and others quickly retreated from the secret passage.
Someone closed the secret door and wanted to reset the mechanism.
The leader of the guards stopped him.
"Leave traces of the mechanism behind."
"Although the collapse was unexpected, we have alerted the enemy."
Several people looked at the leader of the guards.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the leader of the guards.
"While the night is still going on, we must rush to the Zhao residence to rescue the people and pierce through the capital!"
Zhao Wanjun was shocked: "You, this is too risky!"
She originally thought that the leader of the guards was a steady man who would seek stability.
As they left the yamen, they discussed in low voices.
The leader of the guards had an indifferent look on his face, but there was murderous intent in his words.
"As soon as the people from the yamen come back, they will find that the yamen runners have been attacked. If we want to save them, we have to do it now!"
"I don't like taking risks, but I don't want to wait to die even more!"
The brothers who followed took a deep breath and prepared themselves mentally.
Zhao Wanjun also gritted his teeth:
"In that case, then we have no choice but to take a gamble!"
The collapsed tunnel has completely disrupted their originally smooth plans.
When the people in the yamen found out that a yamen runner had been attacked, the capital would be in a state of panic. By then, I'm afraid I really couldn't escape.
And, most importantly, Anyue’s army, which has already entered the territory of Qian State, cannot wait!
Therefore, the leader of the guards deliberately left traces, hoping to delay the people from the yamen for a while.
By the time the government office discovered the secret passage and prepared to dig through it, they would probably have already rescued the people!
Several people ran towards Zhao's house.
They are all very skilled, having learned a lot of secular martial arts, and are very good at light work.
Soon, they were walking through the alley, hundreds of meters away from the government office.
"Breaking into the Zhao residence must have caused quite a stir!"
"Ah Si, inform Ah Da and the others, and find a way to intercept the soldiers halfway!"
The leader of the guards patted the shoulder of his brother next to him.
Ah Si nodded, turned around and was about to leave.
The leader of the guards grabbed Ah Si's arm:
"Brother, try to stay alive!"
Ah Si smiled brightly and his figure disappeared into the night.
They arrived outside Zhao's house very quickly.
The leader of the guards looked at the two brothers who had been with him for many years and whispered:
"Remember what I said before leaving Anyue..."
"Save people, then go home and drink!"
Several guards smiled and responded quietly.
Zhao Wanjun felt a little sad, as she had already seen the determination of these guards.
"If I die in the capital today, I will repay Anyue's kindness in my next life!"
Several people wiped the blades and waited for the soldiers to patrol and attack when the defense was weak.
The leader of the guards observed as a rare smile appeared on his stern face.
"You can't die. The brothers will do their best to get you and Emperor Qian out."
Zhao Wanjun frowned: "But you think I am a coward?"
Outside the Zhao Mansion, the soldiers had just finished taking over and were in a relaxed state.
The leader of the guards drew a three-foot-long green sword from his waist and flashed out like a ghost.
His faint words were left in the air.
"Because you are the bridge between Anyue and Qianguo."
"His Majesty recognizes your character, and the mountain god also trusts you..."
"An Yue, I still need you!"
The two guards shouted softly, stomped their feet on the ground, turned into swift black shadows, and rushed out fiercely!
Zhao Wanjun's eyes were complicated.
The next moment, fighting spirit rose in her eyes, and she quickly followed and drew her sword!
Outside Zhao's mansion, many soldiers were shocked.
It was almost dawn and the night was fading away, how could a thief come out at this time? !
The soldiers tried to intercept them with spears, but these three guards were the Emperor Anyue’s trusted bodyguards, so how skilled were they?
After just one encounter, the three of them rushed in and killed them.
The gate of the Zhao Mansion was safe and sound. After a few people knocked down the soldiers, they were too lazy to waste time breaking down the door and simply jumped over the wall and entered.
This gate can also stop the soldiers for a while.
More and more soldiers were alarmed.
The shouting and screaming were so loud that it seemed to deafen the earth in the cold night.
It soon attracted the attention of officials and government offices.
Many soldiers surrounded the capital from all directions.
Taking advantage of the gap before being surrounded, and under the deliberate protection of several people, Zhao Wanjun was the first to rush into the depths of the Zhao Mansion.
She knew the layout of the Zhao Mansion and the location of the secret passages and mechanisms.
Soon, Emperor Qian, his parents, and several guards were rescued.
Ever since a few people discussed the rescue in the secret corridor of the yamen, they have been prepared to leave at any time.
When Zhao Wanjun arrived at this moment, Emperor Qian's guards reacted instantly. Together with Zhao Wanjun, they escorted Emperor Qian and others out of the palace.
Hundreds of soldiers surrounded them.
The leader of the guards shouted coldly, and pounced forward with several brothers like fearless beasts.
Their blades are all made of newly tempered steel. Although they can't cut through iron like mud, they are much better than the weapons of these soldiers.
In an instant.
There were body parts scattered all over the ground and blood splattered everywhere.
In the hacking and killing, the bravery of a few men, coupled with the sharpness of their weapons, overwhelmed hundreds of soldiers.
Unfortunately, as more and more soldiers came, the range they could charge into became smaller, and the pressure suddenly increased.
Several guards had scars on their bodies.
Seeing that they were about to fall into despair, several guards of Emperor Qian suddenly shouted:
"Your Majesty, take care!"
Afterwards, he actually rushed straight into the pile of soldiers, cleared a path with the sword in his hand, and charged forward with his flesh and blood body!
The swords of many soldiers slashed at the guards, and blood immediately flowed.
But the guards were determined and roared fiercely. They completely ignored their injuries and used their broken bodies to forge a gap in the crowd!
Emperor Qian gritted his teeth, his eyes slightly red, and also grabbed a sword and slashed indiscriminately.
The leader of the guards shouted:
"go!"
He made a prompt decision and, together with his two brothers, rushed towards the gap between Emperor Qian and Zhao's father and mother.
Zhao Wanjun was guarding behind several people. She was also very skilled in martial arts. During the fight, no soldier could stop her for a moment.
Several people fought their way out of the encirclement with great difficulty.
But more soldiers came again from all directions.
At this time.
"Xilulu~!"
The sound of horse hooves sounded.
