When Ci Gu Tang first bought the land, he chose cheap mountainous land.
There are mountains and lakes here, and the view is relatively wide. There is a mountain behind, and the mountain is covered with trees.
At the foot of the mountain, several children stood there.
"Lin Dongdong, your cousin the regent is too cruel!" Chen San couldn't help but said, "Your father still works for someone like him?"
"No, my father didn't." Lin Dongdong defended, "Didn't you see that my father is with the Queen Mother? My father has taken refuge with the Queen Mother a long time ago. If my father was still loyal to the Regent, the Emperor would not let me be the number one at all. Attendant reading.”
"Chen San, no matter who Lin Dongdong's father is loyal to, he has nothing to do with Lin Dongdong. You are not allowed to target him again." Chu Hongyu said softly, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Think carefully about how we can sneak into Ci Gutang?"
The attention of several children immediately turned around.
The west side of Cigu Hall was surrounded, with the Yulin Army on the outer side and Chu Rui's people on the inner side.
Only this side of the mountain is empty. If they want to go in, they can only go in from this direction.
But it was already evening, and when it got dark, various wild beasts would appear on the mountain, which was really dangerous.
Chen Sandao: "Let a few imperial guards come over to explore the way for us."
Chu Hongyu shook his head: "If the imperial guards know our existence, my mother will know about it and will definitely send us back to the palace."
"Then we can only go up the mountain." Lin Dongdong raised his head and said, "When I was in the village, I often went up the mountain in the evening. I would put a herbal medicine on my body to prevent wild animals from getting close. I will look first to see if there is any on the mountain. "
Several children looked for it together and found it quickly. Then they chewed it and applied it on the exposed skin.
"I'll take the lead." Lin Dongdong volunteered, "You all follow me."
The nine children went up the back mountain like this. They climbed up from here and then went down to reach the back wall of Cigu Hall. The distance to the first line was not very far, but there were many trees in the mountain and the route was complicated. The group of people walked for nearly an hour. , finally arrived at the back wall. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any wild animals. The children felt particularly lucky.
"This wall is so high." A child looked up at the high wall, "How do you get in here?"
Lin Dongdong rolled up his sleeves: "I can climb the wall, let's go up and take a look first."
He climbed up the wall like a monkey, and the others didn't even see how he moved.
"There are a lot of secret guards guarding the door of the house..." Lin Dongdong whispered, "One, two, three, west... twenty!"
He jumped down from the wall lightly, "What I saw was twenty guards guarding the entrances of several rooms. All the people in Cigu Hall should be locked up in those rooms."
Chu Hongyu bit her lip: "The nine of us alone are no match for those secret guards."
He walked around anxiously.
If the people from Cigu Hall are not rescued, the mother will be controlled by Chu Rui, and Chu Rui might be able to save a life and continue to harm the Jin Dynasty.
How to do how to do……
"There seems to be a sound..." Chen San said cautiously, "Did you hear it?"
Lin Dongdong pricked up his ears: "It's the sound coming from the forest. Someone is coming along the road we just came. Is it the enemy or our side?"
"Whoever it is, hide first."
The nine children quickly hid in the grass.
Soon, a group of figures appeared where they had just been.
Chu Hongyu ran out of the grass with a face full of disbelief: "Brother Shen, Brother Jiang, why are you here?"
The visitors were none other than Meng Shen and Yun Zhenjiang, with a group of guards, estimated to be about fifty or sixty people.
Meng Shen said, "I just went to the Imperial Study Room to look for the Emperor. I didn't find anyone, so I guessed that the Emperor must have slipped out of the palace to help the Queen Mother, so I went to Zhenjiang to ask for help, and we came together."
Yun Zhenjiang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please discuss this with me in advance. If anything happens, what do you want the Queen Mother to do?"
Chu Hongyu stuck out his tongue and said: "I am the True Dragon Emperor. I am protected by heaven. Nothing will happen. As long as you don't tell my mother, my mother will not know."
"You..." Yun Zhenjiang didn't know what to say, but now was not the time to talk about this.
He waved, and the guards behind him immediately brought out several ladders and set them up on the wall.
He took the lead to go up and take a look at the situation, and then said: "There are thirty-two people at the gate of Cigu Hall, twenty people guarding the hostages, and more than thirty people scattered in the western Zhou Dynasty of Cigu Hall. Chu Rui only has this amount." We don’t have enough manpower, so no wonder we have to capture so many innocent children to use as shields.”
Chu Hongyu said coldly: "Brother Jiang, the secret guards you brought are enough to kill these people inside."
"We have to think about it in the long term." Meng Shen frowned and said, "Once the other party knows about our existence, they will definitely kill those innocent children to warn us. It is too obvious to climb over the wall from here..."
"I have a way!" Chu Hongyu's eyes lit up, "My mother took me to Cigu Hall a few times, and I am quite familiar with the environment here. Have you seen the lake in front of that row of houses?"
Chen San nodded: "I've seen it a long time ago."
"There is an underground ditch under the lake. When I was playing in the water with a few older children that day, they took me to swim through the underground ditch and finally came out of the pool in the mountain." Chu Hongyu looked up at the mountain, " Yes, it’s nearby, come on, I’ll take you there.”
He is playful by nature. When he was the heir apparent of Prince Pingxi, there was no pressure on him. Whenever Yunchu came out to manage the shop, Zhuangzi, he would play around wildly. He was really familiar with this area, and soon he led everyone to a small In front of the pool.
The night has fallen, and the water in the pool is so dark that you can't see the bottom clearly, which makes people feel inexplicably scary.
Yun Zhenjiang said: "You guys, send the emperor and his ministers back to the palace, and leave this place to me."
"No." Chu Hongyu immediately objected, "I am the most familiar with this place, so I must lead the way. What if you swim to another place?"
"I am very good at swimming." Lin Dongdong raised his hand, "I will protect the emperor and go with him."
The other attendants regretted to death that they had not learned to swim well before, and now they would be left behind. They also wanted to follow the emperor and make great achievements.
Meng Shen pressed his eyebrows: "The wind is strong at night. When we come out of the lake and the wind blows, you will definitely catch a cold. Don't suffer this. Be good and go back."
"I am the emperor, and you all must obey my orders." Chu Hongyu straightened his back and stood with his hands behind his back, releasing the power of a superior, "Now, those who can swim stand on the right side, and those who can't swim stand on the right side. Left side.”
Yun Zhenjiang brought all the secret guards who were direct descendants of the Yun family. They were good at all kinds of martial arts, and naturally they all knew how to swim.
"Very good." Chu Hongyu nodded, "Two-thirds of the people will follow me into the water, and the other third will go to the back wall to ambush and observe the situation. If I am in danger, I will be ready to support you at any time."
