Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1162 Wujun Lu Xun

Tang Hai kicked the body of the guard away and said to Liu Xie, "The emperor sent us to rescue you. General Zhu and I have made all the arrangements. We will rescue you from Xiangyang tonight. Please follow us closely and don't get separated."

Liu Xie nodded woodenly at first, then suddenly looked at Tang Hai with some surprise.

"Eunuch Tang, who are you?"

Tang Hai smiled slightly: "I am a member of the Flying Eagle Guard under the Emperor."

Liu Xie was shocked at first, but then he was ecstatic.

"It seems that the emperor's uncle had already planned to save me many years ago. This is the best, this is the best."

He felt very relieved and no longer had any hesitation.

Hearing the noise coming from inside, the other guards outside the door also walked in, but before they could say anything, they were killed cleanly by the two Thunder Knights hiding behind the door.

"Walk."

Zhu Ye waved his hand, and several people guarded Liu Xie in the middle and walked out of the palace.

Several people returned along the same route they had come. After walking just a dozen steps, they heard several voices similar to drinking games. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw the guards who had taken the wine and food before. They were drinking happily at this moment and didn't pay any attention to the situation around them.

Zhu Ye gave a wink and two of his Thundergod Knights walked straight towards them. When they got closer, they noticed them. The captain of the guard squinted his eyes and barely recognized the two from their clothes. He thought they had just finished serving and came out. He was about to stand up and greet them, but in a flash, one of the soldiers showed a dagger in his hand. Before the captain of the guard could react, the dagger had already stabbed into his chest.

"you……"

He only had time to shout out this one word before the dagger was pulled out of his chest and then slashed across his neck. Blood gushed out and the captain of the guard fell to the ground dead.

After a brief shock, the other two soldiers who were drinking with him hurriedly drew their swords and slashed at him, shouting at the same time.

"Assassin, there is an assassin!"

But their skills were far behind those of elite soldiers like the Thundergod Riders, and the incident happened suddenly, so they only had time to shout out this before the two men fell down with almost no chance to fight back.

Zhu Ye had sharp ears and sharp eyes. Before other people heard any noise, he had already vaguely heard the footsteps of many people coming towards this side not far away.

"Someone is coming. Let's go quickly, or we will get into a tough fight and it will be hard to escape."

He led the way, moving forward quickly. After turning several times, he took out his sledgehammer from a bush. Qin Lie and the others were still hiding among the rockery and bushes and did not leave together.

Shortly after Zhu Ye and others left, teams of guards chased after them.

The leader, a burly general who was about thirty years old, chased here with a frown on his face.

"How could an assassin come in out of nowhere? Not only did he kill the guards and the imperial concubine, but he also kidnapped Your Majesty. I don't know what his purpose is?"

A handsome young man in his twenties followed him. He cupped his fists and said to the general, "General Wei Kou, I think these people are not assassins."

The sturdy man known as General Kouwei turned his head and looked at him: "Who else could it be?"

The young man said, "Whoever is most benefited by rescuing His Majesty will do it."

The general narrowed his eyes slightly, and then a sharp light flashed: "From Luoyang?"

He reacted quickly and shouted loudly: "Quick, report to Commander Sun that the rebels from Luoyang have sneaked into the palace and kidnapped His Majesty. Please quickly send orders to seal the palace gates and city gates. The rest of you follow me to chase them!"

After saying this, he quickly ran forward with the young man and the imperial guards behind him.

But after chasing for a while, they turned a corridor and suddenly, countless arrows were shot out from behind the rockery and woods on both sides. The general and the young man hurriedly waved their weapons to block, but they were caught off guard and many soldiers behind them were shot and fell to the ground.

"Damn it, there is an ambush! Get out of the way!" While blocking the arrows, the general pulled the young man and quickly hid behind a thick pillar in the corridor.

After a while, the arrows stopped shooting and the general stuck his head out to look. Under the light of the torches, the rockery and the woods appeared hazy and even more mysterious.

He waved his hand to signal a group of soldiers to come forward to check. The soldiers held torches and moved forward cautiously. However, just as they reached the middle, another round of arrows shot out, shooting several people like hedgehogs.

"How dare you play tricks on me like this!"

The general was furious.

The young man at the side looked at the rockery, thinking, and then said: "General, I dare to assert that the ambushers have withdrawn at this moment."

The general glanced at him and said unhappily, "How did you know? The enemy is obviously equipped with a powerful crossbow, and judging from the scale of the arrow rain, most of them are the common repeating crossbows in the Luoyang army. If we get closer, a round of arrow rain will knock down more than ten or even dozens of people. Xu has only 500 people in total, and now he has only brought half of them. They can't withstand such an attack."

The young man said, "If they are false, they will be real; if they are real, they will be false. It is obvious that the enemy is outnumbered. Just after the second round of arrow rain, I saw several figures flashing behind the rockery and the woods. I concluded that they did this on purpose to intimidate our troops and make us hesitate to move forward, buying time for them to escape."

The general hesitated for a moment, but did not hesitate any longer: "Well, what you said makes sense. I have been on the battlefield for half my life, but I can't see it as clearly as you, Boyan."

Then, he shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Don't hesitate any longer, keep chasing!"

However, they were still quite far behind. The roads in the palace were like a maze with many forks in the road, many of which passed through caves in the rockery. After chasing for a while, they had completely lost sight of the enemy.

Ding Feng looked at Lu Xun and said, "Bo Yan, in your opinion, if the enemy wants to escape from the palace, where should they go?"

Lu Xun lowered his head and thought, and soon he thought of something.

"Whenever His Majesty wants to rest in the Imperial Concubine's Palace, he will order the Imperial Kitchen to serve him supper. The time is just right. Although the number of guards outside the palace has decreased compared to before, there are still six or seven of them. When we heard the call for help, we rushed over immediately. By then, the Imperial Concubine and the guards were all dead. It can be seen that the enemy must have entered the palace first, killed the Imperial Concubine, and took His Majesty away. There was no fight during this period. There is only one possibility..."

After saying that, he looked in a certain direction in the night.

Ding Feng thought about it for a moment and soon realized it.

"There's something wrong with the people in the imperial kitchen!"

He immediately turned around and shouted, "Follow me to the small door outside the imperial kitchen and intercept the assassin!"

After Qin Lie and others left the ambush point, they quickly caught up with Zhu Ye and his group. There were more than ten people in total. They followed the direction they came from before and moved forward at a high speed under the cover of night.

Zhu Ye couldn't help laughing as he listened to the various shouts coming from not far away.

"Hey, these idiots have been looking for assassins for a long time, but they still don't know where we are. Old Tang, you have made a great contribution this time."

Tang Hai was somewhat flattered: "I am doing my job, and I am honored to be praised by the General of the Cavalry."

The group soon arrived at the side hall where they had entered the palace to get weapons, and everyone felt relieved.

"Once we are here, we are not far from the small gate. Let's work harder. Once we are out of the palace, they will have no chance of finding us unless they search the entire city."

Zhu Ye encouraged everyone and was about to continue on his journey when he suddenly saw some faint lights of fire outside several palaces ahead.

"Oh no, have they blocked the entire palace?"

Tang Hai became a little anxious.

Zhu Ye sneered, "So what? You said before that after Sun Ce went to war, there were less than a thousand guards left in the palace. Even if the palace is sealed, there are only dozens of guards here. How can they stop me? Don't hesitate, hurry up and charge out. Otherwise, if we delay for too long, more guards will be attracted and we won't be able to escape."
