1.2 His Majesty the Emperor fled into a ditch

Chang'an Palace, outside the Imperial Garden.

There were two imperial guards standing guard at the gate of the Imperial Garden. They were chatting from time to time to relieve their boredom and did not seem to have any sense of crisis.

This cannot be blamed on them. After all, no one believes that any accidents could happen in the palace.

After all, there are no less than three Yangshen masters in the imperial palace, one of whom is the current emperor. Even if there is an assassin, can he still kill the emperor?

Even if the assassin really has the ability to kill the current emperor, can ordinary soldiers like them help?

It is for this reason that many soldiers in the palace lack a sense of vigilance. Although they are all standing guard and patrolling diligently, they are also looking for ways to relieve boredom, such as chatting, eating snacks, etc.

When the patrolmen or the imperial guards saw this, most of them turned a blind eye.

As long as they don't drink and don't leave their posts, it's understandable that they would find something to do to relieve their boredom.

This situation lasted in the palace for a full eighteen years.

The imperial palace, which had been peaceful for eighteen years, finally had an incident today.

At the entrance walkway of the Imperial Garden, a man was walking in the shadows and soon attracted the attention of the two imperial guards.

The two soldiers immediately stopped chatting and looked together.

"who?"

One of them shouted inquiringly, and the other quickly responded: "I'm Eunuch He, what are you two doing?"

"Oh, Eunuch He, why don't you go to bed so late?"

"hehe."

Eunuch He just smiled without responding. He walked in the shadows where the moonlight could not reach and slowly approached the imperial garden.

As Eunuch He got closer, the two soldiers could see more and more clearly.

Although it was true that the man was wearing eunuch's clothes, he looked very thin and the loose clothes looked too incongruous.

Then, they also saw that Eunuch He seemed to be carrying a bag.

Then, they even saw two swords on Eunuch He's back.

Is Eunuch He wearing a sword?

No, this is not right!

The two men suddenly realized what was going on, and one of them immediately drew his sword: "You are not Eunuch He, who are you?"

And the next second, the figure of the eunuch in front of them disappeared from their sight.

Before the two soldiers could react, one of them was hit on the back of the neck with a knife and fainted on the spot.

Ji Xian didn't know when she had stood behind the two men. She shook her hands and said, "Humph, two blind guys, even I can't recognize you."

Ji Xian spoke casually, and then went straight into the imperial garden.

The Imperial Garden is full of huge cherry trees, which look like falling snow when the wind blows, which is very beautiful.

But Ji Xian had been watching this scene for sixteen years and was tired of it long ago, so she ignored it and walked to the northwest corner of the Imperial Garden and found a ditch.

This is the drainage ditch of the palace. All the water used in the palace will be discharged through this ditch into the sewage pool outside the city, and then a special person will be responsible for handling it.

When Ji Xian squatted down to lift the cover of the drain, a foul smell suddenly hit her in the face, forcing Ji Xian to frown and cover her mouth and nose: "Ugh, it stinks!"

Looking at the black drain in front of her, Ji Xian clenched her fists tightly, looking hesitant.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "The arrow is on the string and must be released. If I don't go to hell, who will? Come on!"

"Freedom, here I come!"

After saying that, Ji Xian jumped down and jumped directly into the stinking ditch!

This is my escape route!

You can escape from the palace directly downstream through the drainage ditch and then escape to the sewage lake outside the city.

Although it was pitch black in the ditch, one would not get lost as long as one followed the current. Moreover, because Ji Xian was a Yangshen master, he could hold his breath for a long time and could easily hold on for half an hour.

Half an hour is enough for Ji Xian to escape from Chang'an!

And half an hour was almost enough for the palace to discover that Ji Xian had escaped.

.......

In less than half an hour, the knocked-out imperial guards were discovered by patrolmen.

The entire palace was immediately placed under martial law, and a comprehensive search for thieves was carried out. Some people even went to report to His Majesty the Emperor immediately.

But after this report, it was discovered that the emperor was not in his bedroom.

His Majesty the Emperor is missing!

When the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou learned about this, he immediately understood that Ji Xian had escaped again!

"Search the entire palace to find His Majesty."

The Prime Minister immediately issued an order and mobilized all the personnel in the palace.

But in the end...

At this time, the Imperial Garden was completely surrounded.

The drainage ditch where Ji Xian escaped was completely surrounded, and many soldiers were gathered there.

Then soon, a shout came from outside the Imperial Garden.

"Lord Su is here!"

All the soldiers looked over and saluted respectfully when they saw the person coming, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

The person who came over was a girl with long black hair, who looked to be about sixteen years old. She was wearing an elegant blue and white dress. Her appearance and figure were so stunning that one could not even see such a beautiful person in dreams. When one saw her eyes as crystal clear as gems, one even felt that they could take away one's soul.

This woman is the chief minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Luoxue. She holds a prominent position in the imperial palace and even in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is second only to the emperor.

Because in terms of status, she is the chief minister of the Great Zhou and the closest person to the emperor.

In terms of family background, her father was the Silver Dragon Marshal, the leader of the Seven Marshals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a founding hero and the most powerful person in the world. Her mother, Princess Ye Ning, was the daughter of Emperor Yizong Ji Wen, so she was a member of the royal family in terms of bloodline.

In terms of seniority, Su Luoxue is the cousin of Emperor Xingzong Ji Xingyu. In other words, she is the aunt of the current emperor Ji Xian.

It was precisely because of her extremely transcendent status that all the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as all the people in the four regions of the Nine Provinces, had to show respect to her and be more polite than to the emperor.

The imperial guards surrounded the place, but the atmosphere was very oppressive. No one spoke, and no one dared to breathe.

A moment later, Su Luoxue came to the drainage ditch under the guidance of the imperial guard general Liu Huang.

Liu Huang led Su Luoxue over and said, "Master Su, this is it. We have searched the entire palace inside and out, and only here is anything unusual."

Su Luoxue didn't say anything, but walked over there to check it out herself.

Then she saw the drain that had been dug open and the water stains around it.

"..."

Su Luoxue was silent for a long time, her brows furrowed on her expressionless face like an iceberg beauty, and then she looked at Liu Huang with sharp eyes.

Although Su Luoxue had no expression, Liu Huang was so scared that he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Su Luoxue.

After a moment, Su Luoxue still had no expression on her face, but her tone was quite terrifying as she asked, "Are you saying that His Majesty escaped from the palace by crawling through the ditch here?"

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

Liu Huang was so scared that he shook his head repeatedly.

However, everyone knows it in their hearts, but they just don't say it out loud.

After all, there seems to be no other possibility except here.

But this cannot be said, after all, it involves the reputation of the royal family.

"Huh..." Su Luoxue held her forehead, took a long breath, looked around at the Imperial Guards, and asked, "What did you see today?"

All the soldiers shook their heads, indicating that they saw nothing and knew nothing.

But at this moment, a brave man jumped out from the crowd and raised his hand: "Um, Your Excellency, are you referring to His Majesty going into the ditch?"

! ! ! ! ! ! !

Everyone around was shocked, and the others around the soldier were so scared that they immediately stayed away from him.

Everyone stared at the soldier in amazement, their hearts filled with shock as if struck by lightning.

My goodness, the emperor is crawling into a ditch. How can you say such words?

This is a major issue involving the Great Zhou Dynasty and the reputation of the royal family. How dare you say this out loud? Are you trying to kill yourself?

And sure enough, Su Luoxue looked at him coldly, turned around and left.

"Drag him away, give him thirty lashes, and then put him in solitary confinement for ten days."

Su Luoxue left these words before leaving.

Then, the soldier was dragged away by his colleagues around him.

"Wait, wait, why are you hitting me with a stick? Why!"

As he was dragged away, the soldier was still shouting, "I didn't say anything wrong. Your Majesty, is there any other escape route besides running through the ditch? Why, is there anything wrong with telling the truth?!!!"

Su Luoxue hadn't walked far yet, and she heard it all clearly.

"After beating him with the stick, there's no need to put him in solitary confinement. Just send him directly to the Sky Prison."

Su Luoxue said to the person next to her.

"Yes."

The people around responded.

The others looked at the soldier being dragged away as if he were a moron.

This brother is really stubborn, he still dares to shout.

But fortunately, he met Prime Minister Su and the Zhou Dynasty. If it were another dynasty, another minister or emperor, he would have been beheaded.

However, when the soldier was being tortured, he was still shouting that it was unfair and he was innocent. The emperor was just like that.

The executioner was so frightened that he dared not listen. He covered his ears and shouted to the people beside him: "Stop his mouth, then drag him down and break his bones. After that, throw him into the prison!"

1.3 His Majesty the Emperor successfully escaped from Chang'an

There is a sewage lake in the south of Chang'an City. One-third of the sewage and wastewater from the palace and even the entire Chang'an City are directly discharged here. There are city walls built around it. Every day during the day, there are special people coming to clean up the sewage, so it does not cause any environmental pollution or stench.

There is some garbage floating in the sewage lake, which is nothing new to people who come to clean sewage every day.

And today, a person floated out of this sewage lake!

"Ugh!"

Ji Xian emerged from the mansion, her body covered in black as if she had crawled out of the mud.

He swam to the lake, climbed ashore, decisively took off the loose eunuch clothes on his body, threw him into the sewage lake, and then cheered excitedly.

"I'm free! I finally escaped!"

Then, Ji Xian chose to continue fleeing without hesitation, not daring to stop for a moment.

He knew that the people in the palace had probably discovered that he had run away, so he needed to retreat immediately, as they would find this place soon.

There is actually a sewage treatment plant around this sewage lake, and there are also many officers and soldiers from the Great Zhou.

But before these officers and soldiers could find Ji Xian, they were knocked unconscious or avoided by Ji Xian. Ji Xian escaped from the sewage treatment plant without stopping and headed south.

When Su Luoxue and his men arrived, the sewage treatment plant was under martial law and everyone was searching for the thief.

The person in charge of the processing site was also shocked when he saw Lord Su in person.
