There was a buzzing sound in Shen Zhi's head, and he felt the blood in his whole body was icy cold, but his body moved faster than his brain. He ignored Fei Qing who was standing stiffly next to him, so he squatted down and quickly applied acupoints on Ah Jiu to stop the bleeding.

The arrow pierced Ah Jiu's left chest, Shen Zhi knew that Ah Jiu was used to carrying some wound medicine on his body, so he searched carefully.Ah Jiu closed his eyes, coughed, and brought out a mouthful of blood, his voice was weak: "Mr. Shen...Xiuxiu..."

Shen Zhi found the medicine, but he didn't dare to pull out the arrow, carefully cut Ah Jiu's clothes and sprinkled the medicine on it, fed him another medicine, and interrupted him: "Hang on, if something happens to you, What about Xiuxiu?"

Ah Jiu smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it just hurts a little. My heart is on the right side...it'll be fine."

Shen Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately leaned over to Ah Jiu's right chest. Hearing the beating of his heart, the fear and great sadness just subsided a little.

It's just that the injury was really serious, Ah Jiu couldn't stand up at all.If it's delayed for a long time, it's still...

Shen Zhi was confused for a while, and suddenly remembered that Dan Yue and Jiang Wu were also trapped in the secret passage, if they could be found as soon as possible, Ah Jiu would be saved.

The arrow was on Ah Jiu's chest, unable to carry or hug, Shen Zhi turned to look at Fei Qing: "Come and help Ah Jiu, I will open the way."

At this time, Ah Jiu actually still had the strength to oppose Shen Zhi: "No..."

Fei Qing's face turned pale, looking at Ah Jiu's bloodless face, looking at the arrow, his body trembled as if he was cold, and he took a step back involuntarily.

He hesitated for a moment, and Ah Jiu almost lost his life.

If he was willing to push Shen Zhi away just now, no one would be in trouble.

At this time, Fei Qing suddenly realized something that he deliberately ignored, but he knew very well - he was very selfish.

Selfishly admiring Jiang Heng, sneering at the person Jiang Heng likes, sneering and sarcastic, thinking secretly... Even if Jiang Heng doesn't like him, the person Jiang Heng likes dies, and there is no one around him. good.

Like a clown.

Hurt self and others.

No wonder Jiang Heng refused to say a word to him.

If it wasn't for Empress Du and Liu Yu...

Fei Qing covered his face in pain, the sense of uneasiness and despair that seemed to be bitten by a poisonous snake filled his whole body.

Shen Zhi also understood in his heart what happened just now, he rolled his eyes at Fei Qing, and said calmly: "Fei Qing can't open the way like this, let me do it."

Ah Jiu frowned, wanted to speak, but coughed up another mouthful of blood, Shen Zhi was terrified, and said repeatedly: "Don't talk, think more about Xiuxiu."

He felt both sad and guilty.

Ah Jiu really did what he said, his loyalty belongs to Jiang Heng.What Jiang Heng wanted to protect, he tried his best to protect.

If Ah Jiu lost his life because of him, Shen Zhi really didn't know how to face Shen Xiuxiu.

Although his father seems to be raising them, the little girl has been well protected since she was a child. Except for the time when her mother died of illness, she has never been hurt or hurt because of anything.

Ah Jiu didn't speak any more, but nodded.Fei Qing suddenly put down his hand, his eyes darkened: "Help him, I will lead the way."

Shen Zhi frowned: "You..."

Fei Qing didn't speak, walked to the front silently to pick up some arrows, Shen Zhi had no choice but to carefully support Ah Jiu.Ah Jiu frowned, and spoke again: "It's over, it's over... If Your Highness knows that you are supporting me like this..."

Shen Zhi said: "Shut up."

Ah Jiu saw that his face was not right, and she didn't have the strength to speak again, so she shut up quietly.

Fei Qing squeezed the arrow tightly in his hand, and threw it tentatively to the ground as he walked, but tried many tricks and was able to escape.Now that Ah Jiu is injured, she can't make a fuss.

When he walked straight to a wider road, Shen Zhi pinched a corner of the map to look at it, and said, "There are three darkrooms nearby."

Although the hope is slim, maybe a few people are here?

Fei Qing silently listened to Shen Zhi's order to open the darkroom, but the first two found nothing.When it was the third one, as soon as it was opened, a silver light flashed.Shen Zhi blurted out "be careful", Fei Qing immediately raised his knife to block those hidden weapons.

Immediately, the two of them rushed out and attacked Fei Qing with fierce moves.

However, after only exchanging a few moves, the two stopped and said in surprise, "Feiqing? Why are you?"

Fei Qing was also taken aback: "You?"

Shen Zhi immediately turned his head to look at the dark room, Jiang Wu was standing inside with a surprised face.He pondered for a while, combined with the content of the letter, and then he understood.

Jiang Heng sent people to protect Shengshang and Jiang Wu, but it was an emergency, except for these two people and one who escaped from the imperial city to deliver a letter, and their life and death were unknown, all the others died to protect Shengshang and Jiang Wu.

Shen Zhi sighed, suddenly he was patted on the shoulder, and the sound of a bell rang in his ears.He didn't look back, and said, "Miss Danyue, please save Ah Jiu's life."

Danyue stood behind them with a smile, checked Ah Jiu's injuries, and nodded casually: "It's a small thing."

They are all their own people, so naturally they stopped.Shen Zhi helped Ah Jiu into the dark room, Danyue took Ah Jiu to the side to treat the wound.Because of the emperor's illness, before going down the tunnel, Danyue scoured a bunch of herbs in the pharmacy, only to find that some of them were useless, but now they came in handy.

Fei Qing stood in the corner, looked at Ah Jiu, and didn't dare to go forward.

Shen Zhi also looked back at Ah Jiu, then walked up to Jiang Wu, and asked, "Where's Your Majesty?"

Jiang Wu pointed to the wall of the darkroom: "A room within a room, inside."

He looked Shen Zhi up and down. Shen Zhi was only wearing a jacket, which was covered with a lot of mud and blood, and it was still tattered. He probably encountered a lot of institutions, and there was no famous Pian Pian in Beijing. The appearance of your son.

Shen Zhi hummed suspiciously.

Jiang Wu looked away: "Why are you here?"

Shen Zhi said: "It's urgent."

Jiang Wu was noncommittal, Shen Zhi didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Jiang Wu's eyes were a little more kind, so he raised his eyebrows, and tentatively called in a low voice: "Brother?"

Jiang Wu: "..."

Jiang Wu didn't respond, but he didn't refuse either, turned around and opened the mechanism, and walked inside with Shen Zhi.There was a simple bed inside, and the Holy One lay on it, with his eyes closed, looking at the dying.

I'm afraid he won't live for a few days without waiting for Jiang Du to find him.

I don't know if he sensed someone coming in, the Holy Majesty opened his eyes, his eyes were not cloudy, sober and sharp, when he saw Shen Zhi, he smiled: "I knew it."

Although lingering on the sick bed, his eyes still seemed to be coercive, making it difficult to look directly at him.Shen Zhi looked at him and saluted him, "I have seen His Majesty."

The Holy Majesty said lightly: "For a person like me who has half a foot in the coffin, there is no need to be too polite."

In the past, Shen Zhi would definitely say something like "Your Majesty will live forever, heaven and earth bless you", but now he is not in the mood.The Holy Majesty laughed again: "Because of Jiang Heng, one or two of you all hated me."

Jiang Wu turned his head and remained silent.

The Holy Majesty looked at him: "Just like your mother, when you get angry, you don't care about anyone."

Jiang Wu said flatly: "I have a biological mother and an adoptive mother, and His Majesty is sorry for them. Which one are you referring to?"

The Holy One didn't reply, nor did he get angry, he stared at Jiang Wu for a while, as if he was looking at someone through him.After a while, he looked away, coughed a few times, and said, "Master Shen, do you know why the Du family was ransacked and beheaded all those years ago?"

Shen Zhi lowered his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, if you want to do something to someone, do you still need a reason?"

The Holy Majesty shook his head: "I'm not a foolish tyrant. If you want to attack someone, you need a reason. Because the Du family has rescued the treasury and has a prostitute who was promoted to be a queen, they are arrogant and lustful. They are full of civil and military affairs, and half of them belong to the Du family." People. Tell me, is this a reason?"

Shen Zhi didn't understand what the emperor was still saying to him, so he silently clenched his fists.

The Holy Majesty said again: "Concubine Chang Gui and Chang Ke sent people to stop and kill Heng'er, so I naturally know about it."

Shen Zhi's eyes turned cold, but he heard the Holy Majesty continue: "If it wasn't for my people to save Heng'er, you wouldn't be able to see him either."

There was silence in the dark room.

Shen Zhi thought for a moment before he understood, he felt chills all over his body, and before he could say anything, Jiang Wu gritted his teeth and said, "What about Yingmei? You sent someone to watch Yingmei die in the fire in order to save her third younger brother? "

His tone and demeanor were not polite, but the Holy One was still not angry, he seemed to be full of patience and tolerance towards Jiang Wu, and said: "A Ying died to save her brother, and she should not regret it."

Shen Zhi's face was sullen, and he didn't speak to Jiang Wu.

Neither of them are easily irritated, but the Holy Majesty's understatement made their bodies tremble and filled with anger.

The Holy Majesty's eyes were clouded for a moment, then he came to his senses again, and said lightly: "Some people are not suitable to live in the royal family, so it's better to go early."

Jiang Wu slammed his fist against the wall, "Do you think it's funny to see the third younger brother return to Beijing in a daze, his mother and sister all died tragically, and even the Du family, who was behind him, was ransacked and decapitated? Father, we don't Are they all your heirs?!"

The Holy Majesty looked at him gently: "Only what I admit can be worn."

Shen Zhi and Jiang Wu couldn't listen any longer, they left here together, they couldn't see the emperor anymore, so they didn't feel so suffocated and depressed.Shen Zhi pinched his forehead, thinking that it was rare for Jiang Wu not to kill the king and father, and walked to Danyue's side to have a look.

The arrow had already been taken out, Ah Jiu's wound was also bandaged, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he passed out without pain, and his eyes were half-opened weakly.

Shen Zhi said: "Close your eyes and take a good rest. I'll discuss the route with His Highness the Crown Prince. The secret passage leads to the outside of the imperial city, so I should be able to leave smoothly."

In order to protect the imperial city, many organs of the secret passage are one-way.There are a few lines that connect to the outside of the imperial city, but they cannot open the mechanism there to enter the imperial city.

The people who designed and built it at the beginning also took great pains.

Ah Jiu answered vaguely.

Seeing that he had regained some color, Shen Zhi patted his shoulder lightly, and then said "Thank you" in a low voice.I didn't dare to say it before, lest it be the last sentence with Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu grinned: "We are all a family, so thank you."

Shen Zhi also smiled: "Then I haven't heard you call me uncle."

Ah Jiu blushed, and said, "Mr. Shen, are you really willing to hand over Xiuxiu to me?"

Shen Zhi said: "Ask my father about this."

After speaking, he got up, walked towards Jiang Wu, took out the map, and was about to discuss the route with Jiang Wu when he heard footsteps and conversations outside.

Although it was indistinct, Jiang Du's voice could be vaguely heard.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, immediately opened the dark room inside, carried Ah Jiu in, cleaned up the things on the ground, and withdrew in one after another.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the dark room outside was opened.Because the walls between the inner and outer dark rooms were not too thick, Shen Zhi could hear clear footsteps.

Someone said: "Your Highness, you are not here either."

Jiang Du didn't leave immediately, he sniffed the smell in the dark room, and said, "There is a bloody smell here, they must have been here not long ago."

Shen Zhi couldn't help but clenched the knife tightly.

The mechanism of the inner and outer darkrooms is simple and can be opened at any time.If Jiang Du had the heart, he would check the dark room again and find them.

Jiang Heng's two subordinates, Feiqing and Danyue, also came up together, holding their breath, ready to go.

Jiang Du walked back and forth in the dark room slowly: "This bloody smell is definitely not that old and immortal. They went out to find the way, or someone came in."

No one outside dared to take his words.Jiang Du said: "Immediately send people to search the darkrooms and passages nearby, make sure to find them!"

Shen Zhi pressed against the wall quietly, hearing the footsteps of the people outside fading away, he didn't dare to make a sound immediately.

He didn't wipe off his cold sweat until there was no sound outside.

It can be regarded as dodging this disaster.
