Chapter 333 Two Ways to Escape

Chapter 333 Two Ways to Escape

Cui Teng had a good night's sleep and laughed out loud in his dream. When he was forced to wake up, he naturally felt indescribable anger.

"Why?" Cui Teng sat up abruptly, raised his fist, and scared the person who pushed him back.

Immediately afterwards, the person who was startled was Cui Teng. The person who pushed him was a eunuch. Beside the eunuch, stood the emperor, general Deng Cui, and many guards.

All of last night's events came back to his mind, and the dream turned into a nightmare. Cui Teng's face turned pale with fright, thinking that the emperor would mobilize the army to get revenge on him, he hurriedly lifted the quilt, knelt on the bed, and first kowtowed to the emperor, He said, "I thought it was given to me by His Majesty..."

This is the emperor's room, the emperor's bed. Cui Teng spent an unforgettable night here, but later he felt that he had caused a big disaster. How could the emperor give up a unique stunner to others for no reason? And without saying a word beforehand? There must have been a misunderstanding, and he was wrong, committing an unforgivable sin.

Before he fell asleep completely, Cui Teng thought of several reasons for his defense. The plan was to pretend he didn't know, and shirk it as a misunderstanding. However, his face changed color, he knelt down and kowtowed, and he didn't ask himself to defend himself. All of this showed that he knew he had done something wrong. .

Han Ruzi didn't come for this reason. The stunner in Cui Teng's eyes was just a woman with extraordinary skills.

"Where's the King of the East Sea?"

Cui Teng was stunned, "Your Majesty... Still don't know what happened last night?"

"That wasn't last night, it was just now. I'll talk about it later." Han Ruzi didn't want to pursue the matter, but seeing Cui Teng's terrified look, he changed his mind and his tone was a little stern.

Cui Teng fell back. He felt that he had slept for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be a short while. He sat on the bed in a daze, and said with a cruel heart, "It's worth it, I don't have a single complaint about what Your Majesty will do... uh, no..."

"Tell me where the King of the East Sea went first?" To Han Ruzi, this was the most important thing.

"Donghai King?" Cui Teng's mind finally turned around, "He's not in his room... Oh, did he run away? This guy didn't even notify me, probably because he didn't find me."

Han Ruzi guessed right, Cui Teng really knew the insider, "How did the East Sea King escape?"

"Haha, don't worry, Your Majesty, the King of the East Sea is doing a good deed this time, and he went to find the way for His Majesty."

Cui Teng recounted the escape of the two servants in the palace and the plan of King Donghai, "King Donghai pretends to be an ordinary soldier, if he can gain the trust of the Huns, he will promise to bring more soldiers from the city. …”

Cui Teng looked at Deng Cui and didn't tell the whole plan. In fact, he didn't need to say anything. The whole plan was clear at a glance, only he himself didn't understand the whole truth.

Deng Cui didn't know anything about the maids in the house participating in such a big conspiracy, which really made his face dull, but he had no way to justify it.

"The King of the East Sea will not come back." Han Ruzi said, the King of the East Sea still chose to betray, which is nothing, as long as the emperor is still alive, as long as the siege of Jincheng can be lifted, the King of the East China Sea has no way to escape. What makes Han Ruzi feel angry is that , Some people escaped from Jincheng and surrendered to the Xiongnu, but he did not know about such a big thing. There were so many official documents every day, and there was no one in the morning meeting. No one reported the matter.

"The King of the East Sea will definitely come back, and then take His Majesty and me out. He promised me." Cui Teng said with confidence that he was completely persuaded by the King of the East Sea.

Han Ruzi didn't argue with him and asked, "Where's the maid in Deng's house?"

"Should follow the East Sea King out of the city. The East Sea King is a smart kid. When interrogating the maid, he claimed his surname Chai. Later, he persuaded General Fan to return the maid to Deng's house, saying that he wanted to use a long line to catch big fish. After a day They found the maid again, saying that the Chai family was dissatisfied with His Majesty, and in short, they won the maid's trust. But I didn't expect them to contact the outside of the city so soon, I thought it would take a few days. "

Han Ruzi's face changed slightly, and he said to Deng Cui, "You can't leave the city. The King of the East Sea is also a fake. Maybe he won't reveal your identity, that maid..."

For Deng Cui, there were not many choices at this time, "This plan is very risky. Hua Bin may not care about his son's life at all, and those Jianghu people may change their minds in the middle. Now the risk is just a little bigger, we are fleeing. The routes are different, and they may not meet in the Huns camp.”

"It's still too risky." Han Ruzi said to Wang He, the leader of the guards: "Keep the tunnel and don't let outsiders sneak into the city. Go to Deng Mansion to see if the maid is still there, and send someone to call General Fan."

"Yes." Wang He stepped back.

Deng Cui took a few steps back, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Deng is not talented and has a little military skills, so he can only tell His Majesty the truth: Jincheng has no reason to stick to it. I can defend for three days at most, and gathering troops outside the Great Wall is the only way out of the siege, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I have to leave the city, as for the maid in my house - it is up to God."

Kneeling on the bed, Cui Teng winked at the emperor, expressing that Deng Cui could not be trusted, but Han Ruzi would rather believe the general who he knew not long ago, "Go to see Hua Bin first, he must cooperate."

Han Ruzi turned around and walked out, Cui Teng scratched his head, got out of bed in a hurry, and shouted while putting on his clothes, "Wait for me!"

Liu Jie was already awake, and he was guarding outside with a group of eunuchs. He didn't know why, so Han Ruzi ordered: "Take care of Master Qin and his daughter, and wait for me to come back."

"Yes, Your Majesty..." Liu Jie watched Deng Cui, Cui Teng and a group of guards follow behind the emperor, even more inexplicable. When everyone left, he hurriedly entered the room to check, only to see Zhang Youcai still asleep.

Eight of the seventeen assassins were killed, and the remaining nine and Hua Bin were captured alive and sent to the palace.

Meng E is telling Hua Bin about her plan, "You only have one chance, take a few people out of the city, and then return to Jincheng, maybe you can save the lives of your father and son."

"Hey, how can I... how can I believe you?" Hua Bin stared at the female bodyguard. In fact, he had always had doubts about Meng E, and even tried to encourage the violinist to go into battle first, but he still couldn't escape the trap.

"Because you want the emperor's head, because I did poison the emperor." Meng E is not surprised, what she has done is enough to gain anyone's trust.

Hua Bin sighed, that's right, this female bodyguard actually used poison on the emperor, he couldn't help distrusting him, he didn't know that the emperor was also kept in the dark before, and said: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, the emperor is so adventurous. , is by no means the blessing of the Great Chu.”

Meng E did not explain, "Da Chu doesn't need you to think about it, you should think about the life and death of yourself and your son first."

King Huahu said angrily: "Father, don't listen to her, this woman is willing to be the emperor's lackey, and sooner or later she will be punished. Our father and son die here, and our name will be known to the world in the future."

It was at this time that Han Ruzi brought people in.

Cui Teng had already followed. After entering the room, he was surprised when he saw the King Huahu, but he didn't say anything. The two met in the capital before, but they were not good friends.

The prisoners and many guards made the room very crowded. Han Ruzi didn't say much. He stood in front of Hua Bin, stared at him for a while, and said to Meng E, "Did you use poison on them?"

"Well, it will happen after six hours." Meng E replied.

"I can take you out of the city!" Gui Yuehua, who was tied at the very edge, shouted, he had completely collapsed, and was willing to do anything to survive, "We will go out of the city at three shifts, and someone will welcome you ten miles outside the city! "

The other captives scolded, only Hua Bin didn't say a word, looking back at the emperor.

"Father, you won't..." King Huahu noticed his father's hesitation.

Hua Bin turned her head and glanced at her son, then said to the emperor, "Your Majesty wants to leave the city?"

"It's someone else." Han Ruzi did not reveal Deng Cui's name, and Hua Bin didn't recognize Deng Cui, so there was no need to let him know too much.

"The third watch is over now," Hua Bin reminded.

"You'll have a way of explaining it to the greeter."

"And then I have to come back?"

"Well, just say you want to continue the assassination." Han Ruzi thought up an excuse for him.

"Your Majesty will surely spare our father and son's lives?"

"The death penalty can be forgiven, the living crime cannot be escaped, and it is inevitable that you will be imprisoned as a prisoner, but you will have an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and we will talk about it when you come back." Han Ruzi looked around, "My words are my will."

"Father!" Huahu King shouted, "Everyone has come all the way..."

"Shut up, the situation is over, you don't understand anything." Hua Bin said to her son, thought about it, and said to the emperor, "How many people will you bring?"

"Not much, five people."

Hua Bin nodded, "Let Gui Yuehua go out of the city with me, he knows the greeters, and then we come back together."

Gui Yuehua nodded vigorously.

Hua Bin, the "Junhou" who was trying to save the heroes of the rivers and lakes, surrendered to the emperor in front of his companions.

Hua Bin was indifferent.

When the scolding ceased for a while, Han Ruzi said, "You all collude with the Huns to pursue small righteousness at the expense of great righteousness. Your sin is unforgivable."

"We will destroy the Great Chu first and then drive out the Huns!" a prisoner shouted.

Han Ruzi didn't bother to argue with these people, so he took a step back, and the guards were signaled to draw their knives one after another, and the seven prisoners were killed, leaving only Gui Yuehua, Huahuwang, and one Huahua. Fun.

Gui Yuehua was already frightened, his whole body was trembling, and the Huahu King's face changed, his mouth was open, and he no longer dared to oppose his father's decision.

Hua Bin maintained her composure, "If you want to leave, leave now. If you wait any longer, the Huns will become suspicious."

Han Ruzi turned and left, Meng E and Cui Teng followed, and the rest was left to the guards.

Wang He just came back from Deng Mansion, the maid disappeared, and no one has seen her since yesterday evening.

Fan Zangshan was also ordered to come, and unexpectedly learned that he was appointed as the general defending the city.

Both Cui Teng and Fan Chongshan were bewitched by the East Sea King, thinking they were doing things for the emperor, so they concealed a lot of things. Han Ruzi was angry for a while, but decided not to pursue it for the time being. There is no doubt about their loyalty, but they are just stupid. A little bit, being used.

Hua Bin and Gui Yuehua walked out of the room with five people, escorted by a team of guards, and left without saying goodbye to the emperor.

Deng Cui's death here is unpredictable, and Han Ruzi must make all kinds of preparations, "Notify the whole army to be ready for battle at any time, and the gates of the city are closed. Unless I am personally present, even if there is an imperial decree, they are not allowed to open."

"Yes." Fan Zangshan replied, still confused.

Han Ruzi knew that the next few days were the most critical. Can Deng Cui escape successfully? Can the troops outside the Great Wall be assembled? Who will win the Huns' main battle, the main and the two factions? It will directly affect the survival of Jincheng and even Da Chu.
