Long Song Wanli Dingshan River

Chang Ge was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately showed his face: "Sir... How long has it been since you are still here? Blame yourself for this."

This secret passage was indeed the way Chang Ge escaped on the day of the palace change.

Chang Ge was "killed with poison" on the surface to calm the anger of the princes, but in fact, he was sent to a stone room secretly.

After the palace change started, Zhu Zheng put him into the secret passage and closed the stone door firmly, leaving him with nowhere to go but to escape.Chang Ge just walked along the secret passage. I don't know how long he walked in it. When he came out of the secret passage, the sky was already bright, and the Great Zhou Dynasty had already been destroyed.

Zhu Zheng took Chang Ge's hand and lifted the candle he was holding up slightly, the flickering candle was almost extinguished by the wind.

The stone road is deep and deep, but the candlelight can only illuminate the near side, and the dark road ahead winds endlessly.

The cramped road is easy to make people feel depressed, not to mention that after the heavy injury, Chang Ge walked through this endless secret passage alone.

Zhu Zheng remained silent, and slowly let go of the candle. The candle light sank slightly, and Zhu Zheng's expression was once again submerged in the darkness.

"You're just too thoughtful." Chang Ge switched the candle to another hand, turned around half sideways, and smiled gently at him, "Come on."

His palms were facing outwards, facing Zhu Zheng, in a gesture of assistance. Seeing that Zhu Zheng was still in a daze, he took a step back with a smile, and pulled Zhu Zheng's wrist: "Mr. I walk this path alone, and it's depressing and painful, isn't it?"

Chang Ge's voice was brisk, pulling him forward, and Zhu Zheng's eyes kept falling on the wrist he was holding.

"Do you know what I'm thinking, sir?"

"I don't know?"

Chang Ge stopped, looked back and smiled at him: "I'm? Thinking? There was only one person walking this way last time. This time, I will not only have my husband accompany me, but also bring a team of Chu soldiers. , and take Chang'an City!"

The candlelight was reflected in Chang Ge's eyes, and his eyes were shining brightly: "I didn't know until today that the hardships in my life are all accumulation. When it comes to an end, no matter how dark the road is, it will be difficult to get rid of it." Someone will go with you."

Chang Ge grabbed Zhu Zheng's wrist, and slowly pulled him closer: "It's a good match with Mr., my minister—fortunately."

His hand slipped down Zhu Zheng's wrist, turned around the cold back of his hand, and pressed his fingers into Zhu Zheng's: "Sir, don't worry about where you came from, just care about where you are going."

Zhu Zheng's heart was touched, and he held back even tighter.

"General! Your legs and feet are bad!" Seeing that Chang Ge was lagging behind, the soldiers of Chu State in front teased him.

"Which one is yelling?" Chang Ge scolded with a smile, "Wait until I catch up with you!"

Zhu Zheng's hand was clenched more and more tightly, Chang Ge pulled him, and hurried to catch up.

There are almost no forks in this passage. When Chang Ge escaped last time, he was in a daze. He didn't walk fast. He just felt that the passage was long and seemed endless.

At this time, the soldiers of the Chu army were orderly and orderly, and their footsteps were extremely fast. It was said that they were marching, and they were almost trotting along the stone road. The road would soon come to an end.

Soldiers from Chu State stepped aside in two rows along the tunnel, allowing Chang Ge and Zhu Zheng to pass by.

When passing by, some soldiers noticed that they were holding hands, and they just giggled.

At the end of the stone path is a thick stone gate. It is estimated that it has not been opened for a long time, and a thick layer of slippery moss has grown around the stone gate.He explored the secret passage and the structure above the stone gate, there was no cavity in it, and it would not collapse if he forced it open.

Dengzhu walked around the stone gate, Chang Ge said with a smile: "I didn't touch the opening that can be opened cleverly, so I forcefully opened the gate of your house, sir, won't you have any objection?"

Zhu Zheng smiled and said, "General, please smash it."

Chang Ge finally let go of Zhu Zheng, and the two of them made way to the sides of the secret passage.

Chang Ge held up the candle high: "Break the door!"

The six bronze pillars prepared in advance were combined to form a siege pillar. More than a dozen soldiers of the Chu army lifted the gate horizontally, and within three strokes, obvious cracks appeared on the stone gate.The Chu soldiers continued their efforts, and with a loud bang, smoke and dust filled the air instantly, and the entire stone gate collapsed inward.

Soldiers from the state of Chu swarmed through the hollow, and through the flow of people, Zhu Zheng saw that Chang Ge's eyes and tail were slightly bent, and his jaw line was slightly stretched, smiling at him.

"Congratulations on the return of Tian Zi."

Before departure, Chang Ge issued a ban, prohibiting indiscriminate killing unless it is absolutely necessary.

But the real situation is beyond everyone's expectations.

The secret passage is connected to the stone room, which is the room where Chang Ge was once imprisoned. Walking along the small chamber, it is actually connected to the inner room of Qiwu Hall.

The Qiwu Hall is exactly where Zhou Tianzi once lived.

The hall was dead silent, seemingly empty, only countless veils were slowly falling.In the whole hall of Qiwu, apart from a willow couch with flowers, there are no other objects.

The main hall was empty, and soldiers from the state of Chu came out from the secret passage. Before seeing the whole hall, the sound of footsteps echoed indiscriminately in the hall.

Chang Ge felt strange, what about the huge palace? It was empty. Could it be that Situ Jing didn't live in the Qiwu Hall after he became the king of Wei?

"Who!"

A question came, but through the swaying gauze curtain, the face of the person who asked the question could not be seen clearly.

The soldiers of Chu State stopped in an instant, holding their breath with their waists folded, while Chang Ge lightly stepped forward, and slowly pressed his right hand on the Da Sima sword hanging on his waist.

"Old ancestor?" There was a soft knocking sound on the wooden window outside the hall, "Is there something wrong in the hall?"

Chang Ge looked back at Zhu Zheng? There was only one "ancestor" in Miyagi, and that was Eunuch Gao who served King Zhou Min and took care of Zhu Zheng since he was a child.

Eunuch Gao didn't know martial arts, and he did his best to Zhu Zheng on weekdays. Chang Ge gestured around to tell the Chu soldiers to put away their swords and weapons.

Chang Ge, on the other hand, stepped lightly, and slowly felt out from inside.In front of the hall of Qiwu is the inner hall, where the dragon couch where Zhu Zheng used to rest is placed.

The dragon couch has an octagon, with soft yarn falling around it, and the bottom is a three-layer low base, on which dragons and phoenixes cling, made of brass, and all carved parts have been cleaned very well, shining brightly under the lamps and candles.

Eunuch Gao stood in front of the dragon couch, holding a white soft cloth towel in his hand.

He has been with the emperor for two days, and he has been in the palace for a long time, and he no longer needs to do rough work, but now he is leaning down, wiping the dragon couch in the middle of the inner hall bit by bit, and the carvings on the base. The dragon was wiped shiny by him.

Chang Ge took a slow step forward, but someone grabbed his sleeve.Zhu Zhengzheng looked at him quietly.

"Don't worry." Chang Ge said silently, gently grabbing Zhu Zheng's hand.The Hall of Qiwu was really spacious. Chang Ge took a few steps, but the sound of footsteps resounded throughout the hall.

Eunuch Gao's voice became more and more panicked, and he picked up a candlestick casually: "Who... who is it!"

He took a step back and looked at the source of the sound vigilantly.

Behind Eunuch Gao stands a giant branch lamp half the height of a person. There are many gauze curtains here. If he takes a step back, the oil branch lamp will fall over, and if he is not careful, it may ignite a fire!

Seeing this, Chang Ge hurriedly opened the gauze curtain: "Eunuch Gao, it's me!"

In the past? Eunuch Gao treated him well. We haven't seen each other again for a long time. Chang Ge is not sure how Eunuch Gao will react. Will he be panicked or pleasantly surprised?

Who knew? Eunuch Gao’s eyes were wide open, and then he let out a short “ah” and immediately jumped back. The oil branch lamp clanged and fell to the ground. on the eaves.

Eunuch Gao was tripped by a fallen branch lamp and fell to the ground. He hurriedly climbed a few steps and called out in a shrill voice, "Ghost, ghost!"

Chang Ge: "..."

Eunuch Gao scrambled and scrambled, stumbled with small steps, I don’t know? He stepped on a gauze curtain somewhere, and almost fell forward again, but he stood still. It was Zhu Zheng who lightly supported Eunuch Gao .

When Eunuch Gao saw the person coming, he screamed in a shrill voice, and then fell down and passed out.

The fire shone brightly inside the hall, and the sound of knocking on the wooden window came again: "Old Ancestor! I seem to hear someone screaming inside! You are all right!"

Eunuch Gao has already passed out. In this situation, no one can replace Eunuch Gao to answer the little eunuch outside the window. The fire in the hall is crackling, and half of the hall has already been burned.

The Chu army standing in the Hall of Qiwu was not fighting fires or saving people for a while.They didn't expect that, after finally rushing thousands of miles to Chang'an, not only did they not hit a single guard of the Great Wei, but they also ran into this monstrous fire.

"Old Ancestor, I'm about to come in—"

Chang Ge only hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand, silently, and made a beheading gesture with Zhu Zheng.Right now? There is no other way. If you want to break down the door to put out the fire, you will be discovered by this little eunuch. If you don't break down the door to put out the fire, the former bedroom of Chu Jun and Zhu Zheng will be completely burned down.

Under the two powers, whichever is less important, although Chang Ge couldn't bear it, he could only temporarily silence the little eunuch.

All eyes were on Zhu Zheng, seeing him nodding his head slightly——

Suddenly, Eunuch Gao's voice sounded in the hall: "It's nothing? It's a big deal. Let's go back early and tell everyone outside the Hall of Qiwu to evacuate."

Everyone followed the sound, only then did they realize that Eunuch Gao had opened his eyes and was talking outside the hall with his upper body propped up.

"Old Ancestor, I saw the fire inside—"

"What a talkative thing?!" Eunuch Gao scolded, "If you tell me to step down, just step down, and come and teach me to be an errand?"

"Yes, the grandson is at fault, so the grandson will take people down now."

Outside the hall? There were shouts of orders? Then came the sound of small footsteps? It should be that the little eunuchs were drifting away.

The fire in the hall had already spread from the beams of the house. The gauze was very light, and the sparks flew around when the wind blew. In an instant, half of the Qiwu Hall was burned with thick smoke. In order not to make a sound, the Chu army? They all covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, and crouched extremely low.

The flames were raging, making the whole palace feel stuffy and hot, but no one in the palace dared to make a sound? He heard the footsteps of all the little eunuchs? They all went away. Eunuch Gao suddenly struggled to his feet and turned his head to look at him. Song, and looked at Zhu Zheng again, tears flashed in the slightly cloudy old eyes.

He still wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything, he just wiped his eyes hard, and bowed to Zhu Zheng: "Welcome... Your Majesty."

Zhu Zheng quickly helped him up: "Eunuch Gao, long story? Short story, where is Situ Jing now?"

Just as he was talking, there was a bang in the hall, and a certain beam was scorched and fell heavily on the ground. Outside the window, he began to faintly shout, "It's flooded! The Hall of Qiwu is flooded!"

Shouts? It's not far from here, and the firefighters will arrive here in a short time.

Eunuch Gao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please follow me."

The Hall of Qiwu was in the middle of the palace city, but Eunuch Gao led the crowd along a side road. This road was quiet and deserted, and judging from the orientation, it was obviously a road heading outside the palace.

Chang Ge felt strange: "Eunuch Gao, we are going to find Situ Jing, why did you take us outside?"

Not only was he walking in a strange direction, but he also sang along the way. I saw a few Miyagi guards, and the huge Miyagi was empty, like a dead city.

It stands to reason that no matter how much Wei Crown Prince Situ Xuan borrowed troops from Chang'an, he first borrowed soldiers from outside the city, then the guards inside the city, and the Miyagi guards only when it was most urgent.But looking at the desolation at present, the troops left behind in the palace city are less than one-tenth of what they were in the Zhou Dynasty.

"Wei Wang..." Eunuch Gao changed his words hastily just after saying these two words, "Situ Dazai, he doesn't live in the palace."

Before Situ Jing usurped power, he held the post of Da Zhou Dazai.Eunuch Gao carefully looked at Zhu Zheng's expression, but saw that his expression was pale, and he didn't seem to care about this little slip of the tongue.

Chang Ge asked: "If he's not in the palace, where does he live?"

Eunuch Gao shook his head and said, "Dazaifu. King Wei..." He hurriedly patted himself, "He has been living in Dazaifu!"
