Of course, Song Zi also noticed these messy footprints stacked together. He held a torch in his hand to illuminate the path in the dark passage. If the footprints were left before, there would be a thin layer of dust on them, but this The traces of the footprints are very new, just like the ones they just put out, they are freshly printed.

He subconsciously protected the emperor behind him, and lowered his voice: "Ayan, step back a little."

Not only that, Song Zi also rummaged through his pocket, found some small medicine bags and stuffed them into the emperor's hand: "A Yan, take this." Sweat towel, covering the mouth and nose, acts as a temporary mask.

"By the way, there's this one." Song Zi took out a dagger from another pocket, to be precise, it was a multifunctional knife made by a craftsman after the military knives of the previous life, "This one is for your self-defense. "

Fearing that Ah Yan would not be able to use it, he taught the emperor: "This knife needs to be opened like this. These small medicine bags contain lime powder and chili powder. If bad people come out, you can just sprinkle them on their eyes."

Seeing Ah Yan's beautiful face and not speaking, Song Zi said again: "Ayan, as the saying goes, it is necessary to be on guard against others. We will not take the initiative to harm others, but we must protect ourselves."

If his father Song Mingcheng was around, he would definitely feel that his son was simply dazzled by the beauty. This is what a thick filter is pasted on his eyes. He is really soft-hearted when he is an emperor, and he is so pitiful that everyone persecutes him .

"Xiao Qi, where did you get so many things?" Sima Yan felt slightly displeased when he came out with so many self-defense items on his body. Could these things be guarding against him?

Song Zi smiled embarrassingly, and said tactfully: "I have encountered danger a few times before, and I have developed a habit."

"Who wanted to harm Xiao Qi before?" Sima Yan remembered that there were only two children in Zuo Xiangfu, Song Zi and Song Jing, so it should be very simple.Unlike him, there are crises everywhere in the palace.When he was the prince, there were countless people looking forward to his death.When he first took the throne, life was like walking on thin ice, every step was on the tip of a knife.

Song Zi said: "Occupational diseases." Seeing that Sima Yan was puzzled, he explained, "It's just that after doing one thing for a long time, it is easy to develop some special habits that are difficult to change because of this thing."

"Is it because of the Interrogation Division? Xiaoqi went out to work six times that year, and the longest one went for half a month." The emperor remembered the number of times clearly, because every time the separation was very difficult, He wanted to tell Song Zi not to go many times, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to keep his lover.Now that they are together, they can finally justifiably ask each other not to leave casually.

"Don't go to the Judicial Division in the future, just stay in the household department." Sima Yan was a little annoyed, angry at his inconsiderateness, he should have asked Song Zi not to go to the Judicial Division long ago.

"It's not as scary as you think. It's mainly used in the wild. Think about it. Sometimes when you encounter barren mountains and wild mountains, some wild animals may appear. This knife has many functions and can be used in many places. Yes, chopping wood, cutting vines, the function of self-defense is secondary, and the same is true of medicinal powder, to avoid insects and snakes."

It is indeed very risky for the Interrogation Division to go out to work, but before that, Song Zi also went out for his own property. Although the time away was not very long, he encountered several dangers on the way.

For the first time, he and Yan Luodian were a bit out of luck. Even if the guards are strong in martial arts, there are times when the protection is not in place. Song Zi's martial arts talent is just like that, and he can't do anything. Hundreds, so I had to work harder on self-defense weapons.

The danger that has passed, of course, Song Zi would not say it at this time to make Ah Yan worry, and took it lightly: "Actually, I'm fine, look at me, there are no scars."

He held up the torch and looked at the footprints for a while. Judging from the size of the shoes and the traces of dragging, there were at least five or six people walking in this secret path.

The two of them came up on a whim, not many people followed, and the secret passage was relatively narrow, so it was not suitable for fighting at all. Although they had weapons, what if the enemy was fierce.

"Where does that fork lead to?"

Sima Yan said: "It should lead to the outside of the palace." He used to go out of the palace that way in the past.

Song Zi vaguely seemed to have touched something. If he was walking outside the palace, it meant that he was unlikely to bump into these people on the way back to the palace: "Ah Yan, let's go back the same way first."

Song Zi said, "I can't watch you take risks. Let's go back to the palace to find the hidden guards and let them check the situation." The wife is still pregnant with a child, only crazy people take risks at this time.

If it was left in the past, Sima Yan might not be willing to listen to this, but now he responds very well, "Okay, I will listen to Xiaoqi."

Song Zi calmed down, held Sima Yan tightly with his hands, and eased his footsteps, walked back according to the original position, and kept praying in his heart, don't run into the enemy before the dark guards converge!Never!He is willing to be a vegetarian for a month, praying for the blessing of the goddess of luck.

"Hush." ​​Song Zi made a quiet gesture, he stopped, put the torch in the dark passage, listened closely, and heard footsteps that did not belong to him and the emperor.

It was a voice separated from them by a wall, not on the same passage as the two of them, and the other party seemed to have heard their movements, and a particularly hoarse and sharp voice said, "Hurry up!"

There are also people who speak in very crappy Jin dialect, which sounds like a strong ancient accent.

He thought the voice saying hurry up was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.Song Zi's palms were a little itchy, and he was a little distracted to recognize the words written by Sima Yan on his palm - Regent.

Good guy, I actually met this joint eye!The regent has been imprisoned in a water prison for many years, so it must be difficult for him to move. No wonder he heard a heavy footstep. It should be someone walking with the regent on his back.

The two of them walked in different directions. Song Zi pressed Sima Yan against the wall. The secret passage was actually very quiet. Apart from the sound of their breathing, he could also hear the beating of each other's hearts. This wedding vacation was a bit too exciting.

"Wait a minute." The strange and hoarse voice said, "I remembered that there is a road leading to the emperor's bedroom."

Another voice said: "You are crazy, the emperor's palace is heavily guarded."

"At this time, Sima Yan is probably the only person walking in the secret passage, and he is probably the only one."

Xu Li hated Sima Yan to death, he could almost be said to be one of the people who knew the little emperor best, he said: "What are you afraid of, I will kill him myself."

Xu Li is obviously a crazy gambler, although he lost the bet before, but this does not affect him to continue to gamble now.

Although there were two of them, and the odds of winning were not low, Song Zi did not plan to confront this lunatic. Xu Li was obviously a lunatic who was not afraid of death. He was afraid of hurting the mouse or the jade bottle.

Song Zi took a deep breath, and regardless of what the other party was thinking, he hugged the delicate and frail emperor by the waist, ran all the way, and rushed to the ground in one go.

Someone has been guarding the exit, and when they saw them appear, they cast doubtful eyes: "Your Majesty?"

The Son of Heaven, who was being held by the Empress, didn't feel uncomfortable at all, he held Song Zi's neck calmly, and directly ordered: "The Regent has gone through the secret path, order to go down, follow their footsteps, and hunt them down with all our strength."

He was still hugging his lover, and the words he said were extremely cruel: "If you encounter it, don't leave it alive."

Glancing at the unborn child, the emperor changed his words and said in another way, "Your life is the most important thing, don't force it."

The guards, who received such concern for the first time, were particularly moved: "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"

Song Zi put Sima Yan down, and when he saw the guards who had heard the news, he finally felt a lot more at ease. He didn't care whether others were watching or not, and he stuck his face to the emperor with lingering fear, "A Yan, you just scared me. gone."

Stimulation is stimulation, unforgettable is unforgettable, but it is better to have less stimulation.Next time he would definitely not agree to two people walking this sweet path alone, and he would bring more people with him no matter what, "Next time, bring a few people from the Interrogation Department, and let the hidden guards follow."

He was not used to having people following behind him like this, but now that he thought about it, the safety of the emperor and the child was the most important thing.

Sima Yan comforted his lover as if no one was around: "Xiao Qi is not afraid, nothing will happen."

A large number of people entered the secret passage with weapons in hand, and more people guarded the newlyweds, but after half an hour, people in the secret passage appeared, and it was not the regent who met, but Ling Yi. .

"Director Ling, why are you here?"

Ling Yi's face sank like water, and he still held a blood-stained bow and arrow in his hand: "We are one step too late, they have already escaped just now."

When they arrived, the person who met the regent had already successfully mounted the horse. The horse was a good horse, a sweaty horse that could travel thousands of miles a day, and a man only had two legs. Naturally, he could not run as fast as a horse. He shot The arrow still made people dodge successfully.

This exit corresponds to a forest, because when these secret passages were designed, it was convenient for the royal family to escape smoothly through this secret passage, which means that it is almost impossible for their people to hunt them down. .

"Have you seen what they look like?" The person who came out shook his head, "We followed His Majesty's orders."

"Your Majesty met them?!" Ling Yi's voice raised an octave.

"No, His Majesty is safe and sound, and has not met the thieves directly, and there are still a group of people searching in the secret passage."

"Let them not enter the secret passage, I will report to His Majesty."

It's a pity that apart from the regent, he didn't see what the other people looked like, and he didn't know who was running away.

"The minister is ineffective." Ling Yi went to the emperor and knelt down to plead guilty, "But give the minister a while, and we will definitely catch him."

His fist hit the ground heavily, and he was still a little unwilling after all.

"Ah, if I don't know their identities, I've actually heard them." Song Zi added, "Although I didn't see their faces, I heard them speak with the accent of people from the ancient country."

In order to do business and develop the northern border, he learned the languages ​​of many countries. Song Zi recalled the other voices he heard in the passage, and then simply translated: "I heard them calling Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Sanji."
