Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

The tunnel was filled with broken stones and piles of earth, completely blocking its passage.

Tears welled up in Zhao Wanjun's eyes.

Could it be that all of this ended because the secret passage collapsed?

However......

"..."

"Wan Jun?"

Suddenly, a deep, mature voice came from behind the broken earth and boulders.

The sound, coming through the tiny gaps, sounded very muffled.

Zhao Wanjun was startled.

"Father, Mother, are you alright?"

A response came from behind the pile of earth and stones.

"Wanjun, we're alright!"

"How did you get into the underground tunnel? Has something changed again in the Qian Kingdom?"

The voices from the secret passage were very excited.

Then a gentle yet heavy voice rang out:

"Zhao Jia Wan Jun? What is the current situation of my Qian Kingdom?"

It was clearly the Qian Emperor who had been trapped for a long time.

They hid in the secret passage for more than two years!

In the beginning, they also took the risk of trying to leave the capital.

However, the guards sent by the prime minister became increasingly tight, leaving them no choice but to return to the tunnel.

They never spoke of running out of water or food, and their only activity area consisted of the secret passage and the secret room connected to it.

Beyond the secret room lies the Zhao residence.

However, outside the Zhao residence, there were layers of soldiers patrolling.

When they felt stifled in the dark passage, they could only go to the secret room and look at the boundless sky outside, but they dared not go out of the room, and dared not make even the slightest noise.

Several of Emperor Qianlong's guards did manage to break out, but they were all discovered in the capital.

In the end, it only alerted the enemy and made the situation even more serious.

Fortunately, the guards were loyal and did not reveal any information until their deaths.

Worried that the officials would return, Zhao Wanjun quickly recounted the events to her parents and Emperor Qian in the secret passage.

Emperor Qian's voice held a hint of surprise:

"An Yue?"

"I originally thought that Emperor An Yue would pay tribute to Xu Kingdom to maintain good relations in order to protect himself."

Zhao Wanjun sighed:

"The Moon Emperor is a man of great talent and vision, with a long-term perspective; he would not act in this way."

"He dispatched 200,000 troops to help the Qian Kingdom stabilize the situation."

"But His Majesty the Moon Emperor also stated frankly that he can only trust you and does not trust that rebellious prime minister."

Emperor Qian remained silent.

The Moon Emperor's chief guard spoke succinctly:

"Your Majesty, the secret passage has collapsed, and it is no longer possible to proceed from here."

"To avoid being surrounded by government officials, we shall take our leave now."

"Please be prepared to leave at any time."

He sighed from behind the mound of earth and stones, clearly feeling helpless.

Zhao Wanjun and the others quickly withdrew from the secret passage.

Someone closed the hidden door, intending to reset the mechanism as well.

The leader of the Imperial Guard intervened.

"Leave traces of the mechanism."

"Although the collapse was unexpected, we have at least alerted them."

The group looked toward the guard leader.

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Guard leader.

"While the night is still dark, let's storm the Zhao residence to rescue them and expose the corruption in the capital!"

Zhao Wanjun was shocked: "You, this is far too risky!"

She had originally thought that the leader of the Imperial Guard was a steady person who would seek stability.

As they left the government office, they discussed the matter in hushed tones.

The leader of the guards had a calm expression, but his words were filled with murderous intent.

"The moment the officials return, they will find that the constables have been attacked. If you want to save them, you have to do it now!"

"I don't like taking risks, but I don't want to wait to die either!"

The brothers who followed him took a deep breath, already mentally prepared.

Zhao Wanjun gritted her teeth:

"Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to take a gamble!"

The collapsed tunnel has completely disrupted their originally smooth plans.

Once the officials discover that their constables have been attacked, the capital will be thrown into chaos. At that point, escape will likely be impossible.

Moreover, and most importantly, the An Yue army, which has already entered the territory of the Qian Kingdom, cannot afford to wait!

Therefore, the leader of the Imperial Guard deliberately left traces, hoping to delay the officials for a moment.

By the time the authorities discover the secret passage and prepare to dig it out, they will probably have already rescued the person!

The group headed towards the Zhao residence.

They were all extremely skilled, having learned many common martial arts techniques, and were exceptionally good at light footwork.

Soon, they were walking through the alley, several hundred meters away from the government office.

"The commotion caused by storming the Zhao residence is bound to be significant!"

"A-Si, send a message to A-Da and the others, and tell them to find a way to ambush the soldiers on the way!"

The leader of the guards patted the shoulder of the man next to him.

Ah Si nodded and turned to leave.

The guard leader grabbed Ah Si's arm:

"Brother, try your best to stay alive!"

Ah Si smiled brightly, and his figure disappeared into the night.

They arrived at the Zhao residence quickly.

The leader of the guards glanced at his two brothers who had been by his side for many years, and simply murmured:

"Remember what I said before I left Anyue..."

"Save people, then go home and drink!"

Several guards laughed and responded in a low voice.

Zhao Wanjun felt a pang of sadness; she had already discerned the resolve of these guards.

"If I die in the capital today, I, Zhao, will repay An Yue's kindness in my next life!"

The men wiped the blades, waiting for the soldiers' patrols to become less vigilant.

The leader of the Imperial Guard observed, a rare smile appearing on his usually stern face.

"You can't die. Your brothers will do their best to get you and Emperor Qian out of here."

Zhao Wanjun frowned: "Do you see me as someone who is afraid of death?"

Outside the Zhao residence, it was shortly after the soldiers had changed shifts and were in a relaxed state.

The leader of the guards drew a three-foot-long sword from his waist and flashed out like a ghost.

His faint words lingered in the air.

"Because you are the bridge between An Yue and Qian Guo."

"His Majesty approves of your character, and the Mountain God trusts you as well..."

"An Yue, we still need you!"

With a low shout, the two guards pushed off the ground and transformed into swift black shadows, suddenly charging out!

Zhao Wanjun's gaze was complicated.

The next moment, a fighting spirit also rose in her phoenix eyes, and she quickly followed, drawing her sword!

Outside the Zhao residence, many soldiers were greatly alarmed.

It was almost dawn, and the night was fading away. How could thieves have suddenly appeared at this hour?!

The soldiers tried to intercept them with their spears, but these three guards were Emperor An Yue's trusted bodyguards, and their skills were extraordinary.

In a single exchange, the three charged in.

The gate of the Zhao residence was intact. After cutting down the soldiers, the men didn't bother to break down the gate and simply jumped over the wall to enter.

This gate can also hold off the soldiers for a moment.

More and more soldiers were alerted.

The shouts of battle were deafening, sounding like thunder in the cold night.

It quickly attracted the attention of officials and government departments.

Numerous soldiers surrounded the capital from all directions.

Taking advantage of the gap before they were surrounded, and with the deliberate protection of several people, Zhao Wanjun was the first to rush into the depths of the Zhao residence.

She knew the layout of the Zhao residence and the location of the secret passages and mechanisms.

They quickly rescued Emperor Qian, his parents, and several guards.

Ever since the group discussed the rescue in the secret passage of the government office, they had been prepared to leave at any time.

As soon as Zhao Wanjun arrived, Emperor Qian's guards reacted instantly, and together with Zhao Wanjun, they escorted Emperor Qian and the others out of the palace.

Hundreds of soldiers surrounded them.

The guard leader let out a cold shout and, along with several of his brothers, charged forward like fearless beasts.

Their blades were made of newly forged steel; while not exactly capable of cutting through iron like mud, they were far superior to the weapons of these soldiers.

In an instant.

Limbs were scattered everywhere, and blood was splattered all over the place.

In the midst of hacking and slashing, the sheer courage of a few men, coupled with the superiority of their weapons, allowed them to overpower hundreds of soldiers.

Unfortunately, as more and more soldiers surged in, the area where they could charge and fight became smaller, and the pressure suddenly increased.

Several guards had wounds on their bodies.

Just when it seemed like they were about to reach a point of despair, several of Emperor Qian's guards suddenly shouted:

"Your Majesty, take care!"

Then, he charged straight into the ranks of soldiers, clearing a path with his sword and crashing through them with his own flesh and blood!

Numerous soldiers' blades slashed at the guards, instantly drawing blood.

But the guards, with unwavering resolve and fierce roars, disregarded their injuries and used their broken bodies to forcefully carve a gap through the crowd!

Emperor Qian gritted his teeth, his eyes slightly red, and grabbed a sword, slashing wildly.

The leader of the Imperial Guards roared:

"go!"

Without hesitation, he and his two brothers shielded Emperor Qian and Zhao's parents in the middle and charged towards the gap.

Zhao Wanjun stood guard behind the group. She was also highly skilled in martial arts, and during the battle, none of the soldiers could stop her for even a moment.

The group fought their way out of the encirclement with great difficulty.

But more soldiers surrounded them from all sides again.

At this time.

"Xilulu~!"

The sound of horse hooves sounded.
