After the secret guard went down the secret passage, Luo Qingyan quickly followed. Because the secret passage was dug in a hurry, the surrounding walls looked a little uneven. When you touch it with your hands, some scattered soil will fall down.
, there are also some places that are muddy and have accumulated a lot of water.
For fear of suffocation of the people in the secret passage, some holes were dug leading to the ground in some secret places. The secret guards in front and behind all held torches in their hands. No one spoke, and they walked quietly but very orderly in the secret passage.
Walking among them.
As Luo Qingyan said before, Lingxi City is actually not far from Yelang Kingdom's camp, but because of the mountain as a barrier, Cangjue Qingsu has nothing to fear.
Luo Qingyan and the secret guards walked for about an hour before arriving at the exit. The secret guards extinguished the torches in their hands and cautiously poked their heads out. The exit was in a weed, and there was no one around.
The guards went up to the ground one after another. Only two people were left to protect Luo Qingyan in the secret passage.
Not far from the exit of the secret passage, there were tents one after another. There were torches lit outside the tents, making the entire camp brightly lit. The secret guards each gave a secret signal and used Qing Kung Fu to avoid the patrols.
Soldier, found the secret work hidden in Yelang's army.
Xizuo quickly led the secret guards to find the camp where Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling were imprisoned. The camp was heavily guarded, with eight soldiers guarding it. There was also a group of soldiers who would patrol over every quarter of an hour or so.
Hosaku led the secret guards over and talked for a while with the soldier guarding the camp in the language of Yelang. The soldier looked at the secret guards for a few times, then nodded, took out the key and opened the door.
Xizuo led the secret guards in. There were still lamps lit in the tent. Xia Huanyu was reading a book and Hua Ling was copying Buddhist scriptures. Their expressions were somewhat contented, as if they were not imprisoned here.
Seeing someone coming in, Xia Huanyu frowned, looking slightly displeased: "It's so late, who allowed you to come in?"
Hosaku turned around, glanced at the shadow of the soldiers outside the door reflected on the tent, and snorted coldly: "Our king wants to interrogate you two, come with us."
Xia Huanyu's hand holding the book paused slightly, raised his eyes, glanced at Xi Zuo, and then his eyes fell on the secret guard behind him. After a moment of silence, he gently lowered his eyes and put down the book in his hand.
When he reached the side, Fang raised his eyes and looked at Hua Ling and said, "Ling'er, let's go."
Hua Ling nodded, put down the pen, and walked out from behind the desk, but Xia Huanyu reminded softly: "Take your prayer beads with you."
When Hua Ling heard this, she was slightly startled, but without saying anything, she turned around and took the Buddhist beads, and then they left the camp together.
There were patrolling soldiers everywhere, and everyone in the group was secretly alert. When they reached the back of a tent near the edge, Xizuo breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the distance and said: "That's where you just came.
…”
Before he finished speaking, someone heard someone shouting: "Stop!"
Everyone's expressions changed a little. The secret guards secretly clenched the swords at their waists. Xizuo quickly stepped forward and pushed the Yelang soldier who came from not far away. They talked in Yelang dialect.
He looked a little displeased, and looked at the man with a bit of contempt.
After a while, the man hurriedly raised his hands, lowered his eyebrows and left meekly. Then everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling and ran towards the tunnel exit.
When Hosaku saw them arriving there, he turned around and walked out from behind the tent, took a torch from the tent, walked to the completely opposite direction with the torch, threw it violently, and the torch lit the tent on fire.
The fire got bigger and bigger, and Hosaku quickly shouted loudly: "The water has leaked, the water has leaked."
Suddenly, the whole camp became lively. In the middle of the camp, in the largest tent, Cang Jueqing walked out of the tent cursing.
"Where did the water leak out?" Cangjue Qingsu asked loudly.
Someone responded hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is the granary, and the granary is on fire."
Cangjue Qingsu cursed again, and then said quickly: "If you don't hurry up and get water, if our food and grass are burned out, we will all be hungry."
There was chaos in Yelang's camp, but Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling had already descended into the secret passage. Luo Qingyan held a torch in his hand and looked at the two of them quietly. Then, he turned around without saying a word.
Go back.
The secret guards protected Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling and followed closely behind. The tunnel was rugged and muddy, and Hua Ling had a hard time walking. Luo Qingyan seemed to know what was going on behind him, so he quietly slowed down.
When they returned to the city guard's mansion, it was already bright. As soon as Luo Qingyan came out of the secret passage, he hurriedly asked: "Has the Queen come back?"
The secret guard standing aside responded: "The Queen returned home an hour ago."
Luo Qingyan nodded lightly, raised his feet and walked outside. He casually ordered: "Seal the tunnel and find a yard to place the people we brought back."
Before he finished speaking, the person had already left the house.
When Luo Qingyan returned to the house, Yun Shang had already fallen asleep, holding Bao'er who was also sleeping soundly in her arms. Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang steadily, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and stood beside the bed.
After a while, he walked out and whispered to Peilan to fetch water for bathing and washing.
After finishing cleaning up, Luo Qingyan also lay down on the couch and fell asleep next to Yun Shang.
When Yun Shang woke up, Luo Qingyan was already sitting behind the desk reading. Yun Shang rubbed her eyes with a bit of confusion, and touched the place beside her. Bao'er was no longer in bed.
Yun Shang was silent for a long time before she spoke, her voice still lazily as if she had just woken up: "Where is Bao'er?"
"Hua'er is being taken out to be fed." Luo Qingyan said softly.
Yun Shang nodded and sat up: "Is everything going well?"
"It went very smoothly. The person has been brought back."
"That's good." Yun Shang stood up, paused, and then said: "By the way, Wang Yuan has been dealt with by me."
Luo Qingyan nodded lightly and said nothing. Yun Shang called Peilan in to wait on her and dress her up. After she was dressed, Peilan ordered people to bring the food in. Yun Shang sat in front of the table, raised her eyes and looked at Peilan and said:
"Have the Emperor and the Queen Mother gotten up? Have you eaten your breakfast?"
Peilan nodded and said: "Breakfast has been eaten, and I am playing chess in the yard right now."
When Luo Qingyan heard what Peilan said, he suddenly sneered and said after a while: "It turns out that he is really happy with the situation."
Yun Shang kicked Luo Qingyan and scolded: "What are you talking nonsense about?"
Luo Qingyan stopped talking. After having breakfast, he stood up and said to Yun Shang, "I'm going out first. Cangjue Qingsu should take action in the next two days and be ready to meet the enemy.
"
Yun Shang nodded lightly and responded. After Luo Qingyan left the door, Yun Shang raised his eyes and looked at Peilan and asked: "But what happened? Why were the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother rescued? Your Majesty was like
Look unhappy?"
Peilan was even more confused, shook his head, and guessed softly: "I heard that when a secret guard entered the enemy camp yesterday to rescue, the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother were reading and copying Buddhist scriptures, and they were very happy. Could it be that,
because of this?"
There was some confusion in Yun Shang's eyes, and she was silent for a long time before saying, "Which courtyard do the Emperor and the Queen live in?"
"It's near the West Garden." Peilan responded softly, but his expression was a little hesitant, as if he had something to say.
Yun Shang frowned and said, "Is there something else that I'm hiding from you?"
Peilan said hurriedly: "I don't dare. It's just that I heard that after the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother were rescued yesterday, Your Majesty didn't say a word to them."
Hearing this, Yun Shang frowned a little more: "Your Majesty is more like a child having a tantrum. I just don't know what is wrong with you."
After Yun Shang finished her breakfast, she asked Peilan to put away the bowls and chopsticks. She stood up, walked out of the house, and went to the west garden. On the way, Yun Shang also called the secret guards to come and rescue Xia Xia yesterday.
The story of Huanyu and Hualing was told to Yun Shang one by one.
The fabric that was originally draped over the garden has been put away, and the west garden has been reorganized. It looks much better than before. Yun Shang walked to the entrance of the yard and saw Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling sitting in the yard.
, the two were talking softly, seeming to be talking about something.
Yun Shang walked into the yard, and the two people seemed to notice that someone had entered the yard. They raised their eyes to look at Yun Shang. Yun Shang paused, then walked to the empty chair opposite them and sat down, smiling.
Authentic: "I have made my father and mother suffer."
Xia Huanyu paused for a moment, then slowly sat up straight and looked at Yun Shang: "The Queen has also come to Lingxi City?"
Yun Shang nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, when we learned in the palace that our father and mother were abducted by Cangjue Qingsu, Your Majesty and I were extremely worried, so we hurriedly came to Lingxi City. Fortunately, our father and mother were abducted by Cangjue Qingsu.
All right."
As Yun Shang spoke, she looked at Hua Ling. Hua Ling lowered her head and her eyelashes trembled slightly. Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Bao'er is here too. Queen Mother, do you want to take a look at Bao'er?"
It has been more than five months since the queen mother and the emperor father left the palace, and Bao'er has grown up a lot and can now sit and crawl."
When Hua Ling heard this, she quickly raised her eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go there in a while."
When Yun Shang heard what Hua Ling said, she laughed, with a smile on her face and eyes: "Baoer must be very happy after not seeing his grandmother for several months."
After a pause, he glanced at the Buddhist beads that Hua Ling placed on the stone table, then quickly withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "In this case, it's inconvenient for Chang'er to bother me anymore. Chang'er will come over to accompany my father later."
Let’s have lunch together, Queen Mother.”
After Yun Shang finished speaking, she stood up with a smile and walked out of the yard.
After returning to the courtyard where she lived, Yun Shang raised her head and looked at the clouds in the sky, smiled and said: "I know why Your Majesty is angry." (To be continued)
