Chapter 69 Run, run fast
In the dark underground passage, Liu Bao held up a flashlight to shine on a group of busy men.

Wang Dong stood under the lamp, holding an e-book in one hand, glanced at the screen, and then at the stone ball on the ground.

"Master, do Yaozi fill in so many lines?"

Wang Dong compared the space left by the gunpowder in the hollow stone ball with his palm, and calculated it in his mind.

"It should be about the same. Just do the rest according to this ratio. Be careful, don't make sparks."

The Taoist priests nodded and hurried to get busy.

Wang Dong looked at the [-] Whys compiled by a certain local publishing house in his hand, and couldn't help sighing.

This book was compiled during the period when all the people were soldiers, and it is full of martial arts virtues.

The book popularizes all kinds of militia skills, ranging from basic militia tactics to basic principles of nuclear weapons. There are also a large number of homemade weapon principles, and they are all written based on simple tools and materials in a semi-industrial society. It can be used at once, it is simply a must-have reference book for travelers.

At this time, the entire capital is already in a semi-disordered state, and everything can be obtained.Wang Dong had already stocked up a few loads of gunpowder, and the gunpowder was in the East Factory, and he asked the Taoist priests to pick it up when he left.

There was still plenty of time after sneaking into the tunnel, and he had nothing to do anyway, so Wang Dong asked the Taoist priests to imitate the land mines made by guerrilla warfare militiamen in the [-]th century based on the information in the book.

Wang Dong has never tried this thing, but the effect should be good.When the time comes, take a few and bury them in front of Ji Gang, why not exchange his lives?

He just didn't know how big the killing radius of this thing was, Wang Dong thought about it, and decided to hide behind when he used this thing.

In the early morning of June [-], Zhu Yunwen summoned Xu Zengshou to enter the palace to play a duet. At this time, the Yan army had not yet entered the city. In order to stabilize Zhu Yunwen, Xu Zengshou had to go.

As soon as he saw Xu Zengshou, Zhu Yunwen took out the confession made up by Wang Dong and questioned him harshly one by one.Xu Zengshou had no confidence and was speechless after replying a few words. Just when he was thinking about what he should do, Zhu Yunwen walked up to him, suddenly pulled out a sword, and struck him with a sword in Xu Zengshou's surprised eyes. stabbed to death.

Cheng Ji immediately arranged for someone to send Xu Zengshou's body out of the palace gate, and announced it to the world to confuse the spies in Beijing.

Afterwards, Zhu Yunwen quickly came to the inner palace accompanied by several eunuchs.

In the inner palace, there were already more than a dozen Jinyi guards and some of Zhu Yunwen's confidantes, civil servants and generals Qiao pretending to be civilians, waiting for Zhu Yunwen's arrival.

With a nervous expression on his face, Zhu Yunwen changed the blood-stained dragon robe and glanced at everyone at the same time.

He frowned and asked, "Where's the queen?"

Pu Qia replied: "The empress said that her shoes and socks are narrow, and leaving the palace is a burden, so she doesn't want to leave, she just said that she will take the second prince to sit in the palace."

Zhu Yunwen said anxiously: "How can this be done, go and fetch her mother and daughter quickly."

Cheng Ji looked at the sun, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the opening time agreed by Cao Guotong is coming soon, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"But my son!"

Cheng Ji was silent for a while, and said seriously: "The empress is delicate and can't bear to run around, and the second prince is only two years old. What the empress said is true. Your Majesty, the huge country has been abandoned, and the empress is not the only one who died?"

Cheng Ji said again: "Your Majesty, please ask Monk Puqia to bring some poison to the empress, so that she will not go so painfully."

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a while, it was the first time he killed himself today, he never thought that he would send poison to his queen next time.But Zhu Yunwen also understood Cheng Ji's reason, if the queen did not die, his escape route would be in danger of being leaked.

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The second prince is still young, and if you don't want to save things, let him live. If you think about it, Zhu Di won't want to kill him a baby."

Puqia looked at Cheng Ji, saw him nodding, couldn't help clasping his hands together and proclaiming the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha, Your Majesty, the poor monk is leaving now."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, watching Pu Qia leave with a few monks, and soon Pei Hai came with a few middle-aged eunuchs, and he knelt down in front of Zhu Yunwen.

Pei Hai said with a tearful tone: "Your Majesty, the fire oil has been sprinkled. I will bid farewell to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but shed tears.

He knew that these eunuchs had witnessed his and Cheng Ji's plan, so they must not stay. These people had special physiques, and it would be easy to reveal their identities if they followed him out of the palace, so they could only die in the palace.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't stand it anymore, so he just nodded, supported Prince Zhu Wenkui and turned around to leave.

Cheng Ji watched several eunuchs drink the poison and roll on the ground in pain, before following Zhu Yunwen.

As he walked, he said to Zhu Yunwen: "Everyone who knows is dead, Your Majesty, let's leave the palace as soon as possible."

A group of more than a dozen people hurried to the imperial garden, and at the same time they could already hear the noise coming from outside the palace.Soon, thick smoke rose from far and near in the palace, and the flames shot up into the sky.

Zhu Yunwen and others knew that Li Jinglong had let Zhu Di into the city, and at the same time, fires began to be set everywhere in the palace.

They couldn't help running even faster, Cheng Ji had emptied the entire Imperial Garden and the surrounding palaces in advance, never seen such an empty scene in the imperial palace.

A few people ran in a hurry, and soon arrived at the rockery in the Royal Garden.Seeing that the tunnel entrance was right in front of him, Zhu Yunwen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly." Fan Qiang said.

Zhu Yunwen nodded, turned to Cheng Ji and said in a crying voice, "Cheng Ji, you are... you have merit for being able to go out."

Cheng Ji also sighed. As the chief director of the entire escape operation, Cheng Ji was really exhausted these days.But now it's finally come to the last step, Cheng Ji thinks back and forth, and feels that he has done everything.

Although the capital was lost, the queen was dead, and the second prince would be captured by Zhu Di, they could finally escape. As long as they got out, there was hope.

Several people came to the entrance of the cave, and it was the first time that several civil servants, generals and Jin Yiwei saw the cave in the palace, and they couldn't help but look at it.

A military general quickly set fire to the book and took the lead to explore the way.

Zhu Yunwen followed closely behind with several civil servants holding the prince, and was about to enter the entrance of the cave when he suddenly heard a sound behind him.

Zhu Yunwen turned around strangely, just in time to see Cheng Ji behind him suddenly pounced forward and fell to the ground, and when he looked carefully, Cheng Ji had a waist knife stuck in his back.

Zhu Yunwen froze for a moment, looked up, and saw the three guards in Jin Yi had already drawn out their knives.

"There are spies, protect the emperor!" Everyone was shocked.

Half of the dozen or so people are experts in martial arts. At this time, they all drew out their weapons and rushed towards the three of them, and the three of them accepted the challenge calmly.

They were very organized, and protected one of them from retreating without fear of death. When they came to the open place, the Jin Yiwei directly took out a bottle of kerosene, poured it on a tree in the imperial garden, and then threw a fire oil on the tree. Zhezi was then hacked to death.

I don't know what kind of material the kerosene is made of. When it encounters a fire, it emits billowing thick smoke, forming a special smoke column, which can be seen clearly even if it is far away.

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard a shout of killing coming from far and near.

Zhu Yunwen's hands and feet were cold in an instant, and there was an internal response from the rebels in his team, and there were accomplices ambushing in the palace.

Everyone hurriedly ran into the tunnel, but within a dozen or so breaths, they heard the sound of a group of people rushing into the tunnel.

"Jin Yiwei Qianhu Ji Gang is here! Please stop quickly, don't be deceived by treacherous sycophants, and go back with Shen to meet King Yan!"

Hearing that young voice, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help trembling with fright.

They ran in front, and the pursuers behind them also galloped. The light of the torches in the cave was flickering, and the sound was noisy. There were at least dozens of pursuers.

There are many civil servants in Zhu Yunwen's team, and Zhu Yunwen's own body is quite cumbersome. Although Jin Yiwei and generals can run, it is impossible to leave the emperor behind, so they are gradually overtaken after running not far.

Some Jin Yiwei turned around and fought the killers righteously, and died soon.

Immediately afterwards, military generals and some civil officials also went back to drink them to fight.

Zhu Yunwen buried his head and ran ahead, and finally tripped in the dark and fell to the ground.

"My lord, my lord, let's go!"

The remaining four civil servants quickly came to support him.

Ji Gang laughed out loud, his voice came from far to near.

"Your Majesty, don't be so obsessed anymore. You have sent everyone away under the instigation of treacherous ministers. At this moment, no one knows that you are here. You can't run away from us. It will be useless to struggle any longer."

Zhu Yunwen heard this and knew that he could only die here. He was trembling with fear.The four civil servants were also crying loudly. The prince in the civil servant's arms was only eight years old, and he was also crying noisily at this time.

But Zhu Yunwen's heart was already icy cold.

"Everyone, I am dead! Who will come to save me in this situation?"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the other end of the passage.

The sound was reflected and amplified in the tunnel, shaking everyone's ears sorely.

Zhu Yunwen froze for a moment, turned his head, and suddenly opened his mouth wide.

Ji Gang, who was laughing just now, has fallen into a pool of blood.

Then, a familiar voice came.

"Who said that no one knows that the emperor is here, Dongchang knows!"

The voice hit his ears, and Zhu Yunwen couldn't help being stunned.

I saw Wang Dong walking out from the other end of the tunnel with a torch in his hand.
