Chapter seven hundred and ten escape
Yan Liqiang came to the wellhead and did not go up rashly, but carefully looked at the exit.
The iron bed with the prince tied to the prince was thrown away in the secret passage, but His Highness was no longer on the bed. In this case, the iron bed could not be installed. It is estimated that the eunuch who accompanied him loosened His Highness from the bed, otherwise he would not be able to get His Highness up.
There were two corpses in the well, and the water in the whole well turned red. Looking at the service of the two corpses, they should be guards of the Eastern Palace. Looking at the two corpses, Yan Liqiang knew that something must have happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his group.
There was a faint noise coming from above the wellhead, but the noise was no longer near the wellhead, which means that there should be no one on the wellhead.
Yan Liqiang suddenly rushed out of the well and fell into a yard. This yard was a dyeing workshop placed in the east outside the Imperial Capital City under the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau of the Shaofu Mansion of the Imperial Capital. It was specifically responsible for dyeing fabrics such as brocade, yarn, yarn, and silk for all the nobles in the palace. What no one knew was that there was also an escape secret passage connecting the East Palace in the Imperial Capital City in the well.
The strong smell of blood came from this yard. As you see, the entire yard was filled with corpses, no less than thirty or forty, and those corpses were basically the entourages of His Royal Highness the Prince, a group of eunuchs, and a pair of attendants and guards. Among these corpses, there were more than ten corpses. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be the workers in the dyeing workshop. The heads of those dyeing workshop workers were either smashed or cut down. From those heads, you could vaguely see the ferocious appearance of those heads before their lifetime. These workers, like His Royal Highness the Prince, were infected with the eggs of the demon insects.
Yan Liqiang carefully observed the wounds of the corpses on the ground, and his brows suddenly frowned...
Judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that after His Royal Highness and his group escaped here, they encountered these workers in the dyeing workshop as soon as they came out of the wellhead. Then the two sides fought. Then the Prince's group lost a lot of people and left. However, after carefully looking at the wounds on the body of the guards and eunuchs who were accompanying the Prince, Yan Liqiang made new discoveries. The wounds on the necks and faces of some people looked like they had been gnawed by wild animals. There was no doubt that these people might die in the mouth of the workers in the dyeing workshop, or even the loosened Prince's Prince. However, what puzzled Yan Liqiang was that there were several fatal wounds on the vital bodies of the eunuchs and guards, which were obviously injured by weapons...
What's going on? Could it be that they were ambushed by the White Lotus Sect, or among the people around His Royal Highness, there was a traitor from the White Lotus Sect...
This court, from the former prime minister to the imperial physician order, was not a human being, so there were a few traitors around His Royal Highness, who turned against him at a critical moment, and it was not surprising that Yan Liqiang was at all.
There were many corpses in the yard, but there were more than these people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Many of them should be alive. Yan Liqiang rushed out of the yard, flashed his figure and came outside the yard.
This dyeing workshop is on a river east of the Imperial Capital. Near the dyeing workshop are several market towns and villages east of the Imperial Capital. As soon as Yan Liqiang left the dyeing workshop, he heard huge noises coming from the surrounding market towns and villages. Countless torches and lanterns, in the dark, lit up in those market towns and villages. Countless people held lanterns and torches, chaotic and noisy, fleeing to the distance. The torches and lanterns gathered into a flashing river on the road...
This scene made Yan Liqiang feel energetic. Although the market towns and villages were chaotic, this chaos was not brought by the walking corpses. Yan Liqiang saw that most of the people who ran out of the market towns and villages were normal people, riding horses, riding cows, driving cars, supporting the elderly and young, and running with his family. This scene was completely different from the situation where most people in the villages west of the Imperial Capital were completely infected by the demon insect eggs. In the villages east, many people survived by luck. The insect eggs in the Yuanqi soup that these people drank should be the ones of the demon insect eggs they got. After discovering that the situation around the Imperial Capital and the beacon smoke rising in the city, these people made an wise decision to escape!
After encountering the changes and separation of life and death for a night, the scene in front of you, the lights in the dark, became the most beautiful picture and hope for Yan Liqiang at this moment, which made Yan Liqiang feel more comforted.
At least this made Yan Liqiang know that everything he did tonight was worth it. Even in this imperial capital, there were still people who survived the catastrophe and began to escape. As long as they were alive and could escape, there was hope, which was better than everyone dying here!
There were also obvious blood on the road outside the dyeing workshop. The blood stretched towards a bamboo forest not far away. After taking a look at the situation in the distance, Yan Liqiang withdrew his gaze and quickly chased after the blood on the road outside the dyeing workshop. After running dozens of meters, he found the body of the eunuch beside His Highness the Crown Prince in the bamboo forest. The corpse had a scarlet chest and a one-foot-long wound. It was still injured by weapons. There were two broken bamboos next to it, and the broken hole was still new...
Yan Liqiang continued to chase forward. The blood on the ground, the corpses that you know or don’t know on the ground that you can see every ten meters, and the chaotic footprints on the ground in the forest, like road signs, guiding Yan Liqiang’s direction.
Just after rushing out of the bamboo forest for nearly a thousand meters, Yan Liqiang finally heard the sound of weapons handover and the roar of people coming from the front. He rushed out a few hundred meters and reached the edge of the bamboo forest. A river was crossing the road ahead. Just by the river, there were two quiet courtyards and a small dock. The guards and eunuchs who rushed out of the East Palace were surrounded by the dock. Before leaving the palace, the number of people was large, at least a few hundred. At this time, after a series of changes, there were less than forty people...
The people surrounding them were the White Lotus Sect, with hundreds of people. Lu Tianxing, who had met Yan Liqiang before, and Situ Fei and the others were leading the White Lotus Sect to surround the people who ran out of the East Palace. As Yan Liqiang expected, two people wearing palace guards were standing on the side of the White Lotus Sect and besieging a group of guards in the palace.
As soon as Yan Liqiang appeared in Linbian, he heard an old eunuch crying heart-wrenchingly in his sharp voice, "Your Highness the Prince..."
A sword flashed in the field. At this moment, His Royal Highness, who was like a walking corpse, ran around in the field for some reason, trying to bite people, but then Lu Tianxing slashed from his head to his feet with a knife, and his whole body suddenly turned into two halves...
"Bah..." Lu Tianxing, who slashed the prince's prince with one knife, spitted on the ground, laughing strangely, "He's all a walking corpse, and he's still the prince. If the prince is the prince, wouldn't I be your emperor? Hehe, but you have also reminded me that chopping down the body of the prince of the current dynasty is a merit, and setting an example for our sons of the Holy Church. Everyone worked hard to cut off all the dog slaves and eunuchs from the court to bury their prince..."
