The group changed their clothes, King Xiang pretended to be a merchant, and the rest pretended to be a bodyguard and entourage.
King Xiang walked into the yard and looked back at the royal city with complex eyes.
Since Zhenyuan Escort Agency has a way to deal with the Eagle Falcon, it will definitely not be used only here.
Although he has not received any news about the brass ditch yet, King Xiang has been able to guess the result.
Although he was extremely unwilling to accept it, King Xiang had to admit that the general situation between Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess had already been established, and he had escaped the restraint of the eagle and falcon, and no one could stop the rise of Sichuan and Shu anymore.
This also means that he may have to spend the rest of his life running away.
"Let's go!"
King Xiang sighed and signaled the dead to lead the way.
When I chose to place the secret passage exit here, I considered the retreat in advance.
Xiangwang City is built against the mountain. Behind the courtyard is a small hill. After climbing this hill, there are endless mountains behind it.
The courtyard is northwest outside Xiangwang City. Although it is not far from the West City Wall, it is not close to the West City Gate and the North City Gate. Usually, few people come here, that is, the soldiers on the city wall occasionally shout at the bottom.
Two throats.m.
Now even the soldiers of the palace have fled, and the city wall is empty and there is no one figure.
The followers behind King Xiang were absolutely loyal to his confidants, and they left through secret passages, completely eliminating the possibility of being followed.
As long as he enters the mountains, even if Jin Feng has great skills, he will never find him in the vast mountains.
The group, led by the dead soldiers, walked from the courtyard to the hill.
After walking a few hundred meters along the narrow mountain road, a forest appeared in front of me.
"Your Majesty, when you pass through this forest, it is the White Lotus River. I have prepared a fishing boat. Your Majesty can take a fishing boat to Langtou Mountain."
The dead soldier leads the way in front.
The King of Qin prepared a retreat in the mountains in advance, so King Xiang naturally prepared too.
Langtou Mountain is one of the retreat he prepared, and the stockpiled more materials were hoarded than the King of Qin.
The group, led by the dead soldiers, walked through the woods and saw a small river with a fishing boat tied to the river.
Xiangdi has many rivers and lakes, and many people have fishing boats at home, and they will fish in their spare time to supplement their household use.
However, the fishing boats in ordinary people's homes are mainly based on main board rafts. King Xiang originally thought that the dead soldiers prepared this kind of small boat, but the fishing boat in front of him was seven or eight meters long. It was considered a large fishing boat in ordinary people's homes in Xiang.
That's enough for King Xiang and his group to ride.
The Imperial Army squad leader went up to check the fishing boat and confirmed that there was no danger. Then he bowed to King Xiang and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
King Xiang nodded and boarded the fishing boat.
There are fishing nets piled up in the cabin, and there is a strong fishy smell.
"Your Majesty forgive me. The villain didn't know that Your Majesty was coming today. He didn't clean up the cabin in advance. He felt wronged!"
The dead soldier dragged the fishing net outside while explaining.
"It's okay, I'm not that kind of slutty person, let alone this is a special period, and there are not so many things to pay attention to!"
King Xiang waved his hand and praised: "You did a good job!"
After saying that, he winked at the eunuch.
The eunuch understood and took out a golden bean from his arms and handed it to the dead soldier.
"Thank you for your reward!"
In the feudal era, the king could not refuse the rewards. The dead soldier quickly put down the fishing net, knelt on the floor, raised his hands above his head, and took the golden beans.
He kowtowed at King Xiang again, then picked up the fishing net and walked out of the cabin again.
King Xiang glanced at the stool next to him and did not sit down.
Seeing this, the eunuch quickly squatted down and rubbed the stool hard with his sleeves.
After the eunuch stood up, King Xiang sat down.
"Everyone get on the boat, be careful, don't be seen by the airship!"
The Royal Guards' squad leader said to his subordinates.
In fact, the straight line distance from Xiangwang City is only one or two miles away, and they can clearly see the airship, which means that they can also be seen from the airship.
Fortunately, the fishing boats were parked at the edge of the woods, and the place where they boarded was blocked by the woods. There were many fishing boats docked around them, and the airships were all focused on bombing the Imperial Guards, and they didn't notice them at all.
The Imperial Army soldiers all bowed their waists and boarded the ship, and then squeezed into the cabin.
There were only two men, the Royal Guards and the Dead.
"Drive the boat!" The team leader nodded at the dead soldiers. The dead soldiers jumped to the shore and untied the rope tied to the tree.
Then he jumped back to the fishing boat, picked up the bamboo pole and supported it, and the fishing boat slowly moved.
The captain looked at the backward forest and felt a little relieved.
The bombing in Xiangwang City has not stopped yet, and explosions have been heard one after another. If you stay in the city, there will be only a dead end.
No matter what happens in the future, at least they are out of danger for the time being.
The captain withdrew his gaze and was about to enter the cabin when he suddenly heard two whistles.
The team leader subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound was emitted. Unfortunately, he didn't see anything. He felt like he was hit by a running man bull, so he flew out directly.
Then, a severe pain came from his chest and back.
Looking down, I found that there was a big hole in my chest.
When he fell into the water, the team leader immediately realized that he had been caught in the arrow, and it was a heavy crossbow arrow!
"There is an ambush!"
The captain murmured, and then his consciousness sinks into the darkness.
It sounds slow, but it is actually very fast.
It took only a few seconds from the appearance of the arrow to the captain falling into the water.
"There is an ambush!" The eunuch's face changed drastically. While protecting King Xiang with his body, he shouted: "Protect Your Majesty!"
The Imperial Army soldiers in the cabin immediately divided into two teams, one rushed up to surround King Xiang and the eunuch in the middle, while the other team guarded the entrance of the cabin.
On the deck, the dead soldier leaned over and hid under the side of the ship, staring at the woods on the left bank.
In fact, there was an arrow that was shooting at him just now, but he happened to be shooting in the direction of the arrow. With the fast reaction speed, he rolled on the spot to avoid the arrow.
"Chen Peijun, I know you are on the boat, don't hide, come out!"
A cold shout came from the woods, and then more than a dozen escorts walked out of the woods, all holding muskets.
"Someone betrays Your Majesty!"
The eunuch turned his head and looked at the dead soldier.
The same is true for other imperial guards.
It can be inferred from the dress and tone of the escort that this team of escorts had already been ambushed and were waiting for King Xiang.
And they followed King Xiang from the airship, without stopping for a moment, and they didn't know the existence of the secret passage, even if they wanted to betray King Xiang, they would not have a chance.
Only the dead soldiers knew the existence of the secret passage, and the Imperial Guards' squad leader was shot to death by a heavy crossbow, but he survived.
In the eyes of the eunuch and others, it was a collusion between the dead soldiers and the bodyguard.
"Why do you want to betray me?"
King Xiang also gritted his teeth and looked at the dead soldiers.
But the dead soldier said with a grievance: "Your Majesty, the villain has not betrayed you!"
