At this moment, he had two choices in front of him, heading south, but there was still a river in front of him, and heading east, which was closest to the east city wall, but a large number of buildings were blocked in the middle.
"You ask me? I have lived for twelve years and have only been out of the palace a few times."
The little princess said confidently.
"If you don't ask, how can you ask me? I haven't been here three hours!"
Yang Feng said equally confidently.
"We don't need to rush out of the city, right? We can spend a few days in the city first. I heard those palace maids say that there are a lot of fun things in the city. We have already left the palace. Let's talk about how to get to Guangning. Shouldn't we first sum up the details?
, do you know where Guangning is? Should we take a boat, a horse or a car? I can ride a horse, and is it not a long way to go? How many days does it take to walk?"
The little princess was thinking excitedly about her future on his back.
"Shut up!"
Yang Feng has completely given up on her, she can't be counted on at all.
He leaned against the city wall and hid in the shadow of the horse, looked at the large city in front of him, and then made a decision...
east.
To the south is the government district.
Half of the imperial offices are in the south.
He clung to the city wall and headed east, with the little princess on his back and her mouth closed in dissatisfaction.
There is an open space outside the imperial city. Although the braziers, lanterns, and torches on the wall above the head have limited lighting capabilities, if the patrolling soldiers are diligent enough, they can still be easily discovered as long as they leave the shadow area. The only thing that can protect them now is this light
Black shadow. The little princess poked at him obviously impatiently. Yang Feng turned around and glared at her with dissatisfaction. Only then did he realize that her expression was a little strange and she was obviously twisting in the backpack. Yang Feng continued to look at her in confusion.
Looking at her...
"Woof..."
Suddenly a dog barked overhead.
"who?"
Then there were angry shouts.
Yang Feng ran forward without any hesitation, and almost at the same time, a gong sounded behind him...
"A thief is breaking the rules!"
The shouts also sounded.
Yang Feng, who was carrying the little princess on his back, reached the river in front of him at the fastest speed he could reach. At the same time, a sound broke through the air. He suddenly fell forward and rolled into the river as the sharp arrow passed by. He was unlucky.
The little princess was still screaming with her mouth open, and was suddenly pushed into the river by him. Although she was flipped out immediately, she was so filled that she rolled her eyes. Yang Feng was not interested in caring about her feelings and pulled out his arms in the water.
, pushing his backpack and swimming hard to the other side, more soldiers on the wall behind rushed out from the turrets, and the two soldiers in the group who found him continued to shoot arrows at him, and one arrow even hit his helmet.
Fortunately, the river was much narrower, and he reached the other side in a blink of an eye.
"Stop shooting, your fourteenth daughter is here!"
he shouted.
After saying that, he picked up the little princess, and thoughtfully turned on the light on his watch, shining it on Her Highness's face that was still spitting out water...
"stop!"
Shouts rang out from the city walls.
Then an officer-like appearance came out.
"You don't recognize the Emperor's Fourteenth Daughter. Just wait while I find someone who does."
he said.
"Whatever you want, I'll leave you with him anyway!"
Yang Feng didn't want to be fooled. Alarm gongs were ringing all around. If there was no further delay, thousands of people would probably surround him. He directly put the little princess on the ground, then picked up the backpack and left. However, the little princess was still vomiting water.
But she suddenly woke up and hugged his leg without hesitation, like a koala, being dragged along with Yang Feng's steps...
"You can't leave me behind. Daddy will beat me to death if he knows I dare to escape from the palace!"
She howled.
Yang Feng looked back at the officer awkwardly.
The latter also looked at them dumbfounded.
Then at the west city gate, the city gate slowly opened...
Yang Feng picked up the little princess without hesitation. The latter stretched his legs into the backpack very sensibly and looked at her with a flattering look. Yang Feng looked at the officer with an apologetic look. The officer held the
He fired the bow and arrow, but in the end he still didn't shoot. He probably guessed that this was the fourteenth daughter of the emperor at this time. Even if the fourteenth daughter of the emperor actually eloped at a young age, she was still an imperial daughter. If she was accidentally injured, her house would be ransacked.
, as he and the soldiers watched silently, Yang Feng shouldered his backpack again.
The city gate was also opened.
"Don't dare to shoot arrows, this is the princess."
Yang Feng said sincerely.
Then he turned and ran eastward.
But then a large number of lights on the east wall rushed towards him, and soldiers also rushed out of the building.
He quickly turned his head south.
The cavalry rushed out from the west gate.
He ran wildly through a wide street and rushed under a wall. The cavalry swarmed towards him. He threw out the grenade without hesitation. The explosion caused the two horses in the front to kneel down at the same time. The cavalry behind quickly dodged. Yang Feng held the rope in his hand.
Throw it out, not caring about where the hook is, and drag the rope up to the top of the wall. A cavalry rushes over, stabbing straight with a spear in his hand...
"I am the fourteenth daughter of the emperor!"
The little princess screamed.
The cavalryman was so frightened that he suddenly swung his spear, and the spearhead pierced the green bricks of the wall.
Yang Feng immediately jumped in with the little princess on his back. He put away the rope and ran forward. He didn't know where this place was, but it was full of rows of buildings. He ran around without caring about it. People kept running in the buildings inside.
When they came out, they all looked at them with their mouths open. But soon, without any clothes on, they rushed out with a sword. Obviously they wanted to intercept him. Yang Feng, who was running wildly, came directly in front of him. He cut off the sword in his hand and Yang Feng grabbed it.
Grab his wrist and punch him head on.
The man screamed and fell down.
Then Yang Feng continued to run forward, always walking if there was a door, and climbing over the wall if there was no door. He walked between the buildings like a parkour.
The soldiers chasing behind were obviously still chasing, and their shouts could be heard.
And not only from the back, but also from the right, the neighing of war horses could be heard, which should be the gate of this building.
The encirclement is taking shape.
"We can't leave the city!"
Yang Feng looked at the dense lights on the south wall and said.
It is indeed impossible to get out. The city wall to the east is also covered with dense lights. There is even a city wall to the west where you can see dense lights.
I have to say that the reaction speed of the Ming army at this time was as fast as that of an elite. In a short period of time, the entire city defense system had already entered wartime. It was definitely impossible to break through in the current situation. With just his rifle and seven magazines, even if
Not a single bullet can escape, not to mention that the Ming army also used a large number of firearms at this time. Although the fire door gun could not hit his body armor, but...
But they have cannons!
No matter how primitive the cannons of the early Ming Dynasty were, they could still produce the Hongwu Iron Cannon.
Twenty-one centimeters in diameter.
Not to mention the cannonball fired by gunpowder, even if a stone ball with a diameter of 21 centimeters was thrown at him, it would be enough to kill him.
"Then what should I do? If I get caught by my father, I will be beaten to death..."
The little princess said anxiously.
"Shut up!"
Yang Feng shouted.
He then ran to the well not far away, got in without hesitation, opened his legs and arms to hold on, and then kept going down, and soon reached the bottom. At this time, chaotic shouts sounded outside, followed by the armor's shouts.
With friction and running footsteps, Yang Feng carried the little princess on his back and continued downward, entering the well water without stopping until the well water submerged their necks...
"Look in the well!"
A voice sounded from above.
Yang Feng reached out and grabbed the mud from the wall of the well and wiped it directly on the little princess's face.
The latter stared at him with wide eyes, but did not dare to say anything. Yang Feng himself pulled up his mask. At the same time, a torch appeared above him, and in the light of the torch was a face. The man threw the torch down casually and borrowed the opportunity.
I caught the light before the torch went out and looked down the well. But Yang Feng only had his head outside, and he was wearing a mask and a camouflage helmet on top of his head. Although the little princess had not deflated the sides of her rucksack, so more of it was exposed to the water, but
Her head was just outside the rucksack. The rucksack was also camouflage, and her face was smeared with mud. The soldiers did not see anything unusual in the brief light.
"Hundred households, no one!"
he said.
"Let's go, continue searching!"
Baihu said.
The two of them took a deep breath under the water.
Then they listened quietly under the water until the soldiers' voices disappeared.
But Yang Feng still did not dare to go up, but moved up to get out of the water. He persisted like this for more than ten minutes before carefully climbing out.
It was already two o'clock in the morning.
The two of them lay on the ground exhausted...
"What are you doing?"
Yang Feng said.
"You have been locked up in one place for more than ten years. Wouldn't you want to run away if you had the chance?"
said the little princess.
"Where's your mother?"
Yang Feng asked.
"I died when I was very young."
said the little princess.
Yang Feng nodded sympathetically.
It is true that a royal daughter who lost her biological mother at a very young age and had a strict father like Lao Zhu probably believed in sticks as the mainstay in educating her children and had serious traditional ideas. Although she was born into a poor peasant of the eighth generation, she still had nothing to do with her children's requirements.
At first, he still moved closer to Neo-Confucianism, trying to allow future generations to fully integrate into the scholar-bureaucrats. This can be seen from the fact that he missed Zhu Xi. After being imprisoned in such an environment for more than ten years, it was almost time to rebel.
"Come on, let's get dressed and change first, otherwise we won't be able to go out like this."
He turned over and said.
This question is very important. He looks like a cicada among the scarabs.
He looked around. It should be a small garden, surrounded by buildings. On the south side was a high wall, the same as the one he climbed over when he came in, and he had never climbed over such a wall before.
In other words, he didn't actually run out of the yamen after he came in.
This yamen is huge!
"Where is the first Yamen from the north to the east outside the Imperial City?"
he asked.
"Hanlin Academy, I have only been out of the palace a few times in total, and I always walked out of Hongwu Gate via the Royal Road on the Thousand-Step Corridor. I was guarded by the army, and I couldn't play around casually. Those palace maids did.
I said, if I remember correctly, it was the Hanlin Academy."
said the little princess.
While talking, she also observed her surroundings curiously.
