The most difficult stage has been passed, and all he can do now is pray to God to help his son escape safely.

Outside the Funing Palace, the rebel general finally breathed a sigh of relief after finally forcing Zhao Zhen back inside.

Despite having a huge advantage in numbers, Zhao Zhen almost broke out.

It just frightened him.

The palace is so big, who knows if there are any secret passages or rooms elsewhere?

If Zhao Zhen succeeded in breaking out, even if he couldn't leave the palace, it would be disastrous if he had to find a new place to hide.

The reason they were able to capture the palace so easily was because they were so careless.

Therefore, the longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

At this moment, another group of rebels arrived on the palace road in the distance.

The leaders were none other than Prince Yong and Prince Yan.

When the two men came up to him, they immediately asked the general.

"What's going on? Has the Eighth (Two) Battalion of the Jiulingzhuo Group not yet broken in?"

740 The general immediately replied, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty just tried to break through, but was repelled by my subordinates. I am preparing to regroup and capture Funing Palace in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, Prince Yong and Prince Yan were both startled.

"What? He actually wants to break out?"

Prince Yong then asked, "Did you see that bitch Concubine Liu in there just now?"

The rebel general shook his head and said, "No, I did see the Queen, but I certainly didn't spot Concubine Liu."

The reason why Prince Yong and Prince Yan came so late was actually because they were looking for Concubine Liu in the harem.

The child in Concubine Liu's belly was the biggest disaster, so after they entered the palace, they wanted to find each other as soon as possible.

First, use the other party's life to force Zhao Zhen to issue a will, and then cut off the roots.

Unfortunately, after searching the entire harem, they had already found the other two concubines who were pregnant with Zhao Zhen's child, but they hadn't found any trace of Concubine Liu.

Finally, they learned from a eunuch that Concubine Liu had just gone to deliver lunch to Zhao Zhen before they entered the palace.

This was Concubine Liu's habit.

At least every day, I would personally cook a meal or a bowl of porridge for Zhao Zhen.

Over the past few months, there have been no exceptions.

Then Prince Yong and Prince Yan came to Funing Palace.

But now, after hearing the words of the rebel general, their expressions suddenly changed.

"Oh no! This is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. You've been fooled, idiot!"

The rebel general panicked.

He really didn't know that Concubine Liu was also in Funing Palace, otherwise, he would definitely have thought of it.

Sadly, all this can only be described as fate.

At this moment, the rebels suddenly reported.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened. Not long ago, two highly skilled warriors suddenly rushed to Xuande Gate, killed all the gatekeepers, opened the gate, and fled the palace. According to those who survived, there was a pregnant woman with them."

As soon as these words came out, Prince Yong and Prince Yan felt as if the sky had fallen.

After being stunned for a long time, King Yan raised his hand and slapped the general.

"You useless piece of shit, hurry up and get someone to chase you. If you can't catch him, don't come back to see me alive!"

They knew better than anyone what Concubine Liu's escape meant.

This is a serious problem and must be addressed as a priority.

Then the rebel general immediately led a group of people and rushed out of the palace.

At this time, Prince Yong comforted himself.

"That bitch is pregnant, so she definitely can't run fast. I can definitely catch her back, I can definitely catch her back."

At the same time, Gu Tingye and Commander Lin were desperately trying to escape with Concubine Lin.

Unfortunately, just as Prince Yong said, Concubine Lin was eight months pregnant, so even if she tried to conceive quickly, it wouldn't be much faster.

It's been half an hour since we left the palace, and we're still halfway to the Bianjing dock.

Furthermore, both of them had sustained varying degrees of injuries from the previous fierce battle, and their progress had alarmed many passersby.

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before we're caught up.

As expected, just as the three were about to reach the Bianjing dock, the pursuers from the palace finally caught up with them.

Don't ask them why they don't ask for help.

Who can they trust at this time?

Even if I hide in the Gu family or the Lin family first, it will be useless.

Prince Yan and Prince Yong have already taken control of all the troops in the capital, so if they go home and hide, they will be trapped like a turtle in a jar.

The best way now is to escape from Bianjing.

As long as we leave Bianjing, we will be safe.

Seeing this, Commander Lin gripped the long sword in his hand and immediately said to Gu Tingye.

"You take the queen to the dock and board the boat first, I'll go stop them."

Without waiting for Gu Tingye to refuse, he rushed towards the pursuers with his knife in hand without hesitation.

Seeing this, Gu Tingye gritted his teeth and said to Concubine Liu.

"My Lady, I'm sorry for being so unfaithful to you."

After he finished speaking, he threw away the spear in his hand, picked up Concubine Liu, and rushed towards the dock.

As long as you can get on the boat, you are basically safe.

From Bianjing to Yangzhou, the whole journey was downstream, so even if one set out a little earlier, it would be difficult for the following boats to catch up.

Under normal circumstances, Gu Tingye's actions would be considered disrespectful, but at this moment, when his life was at stake, he certainly couldn't care less.

Concubine Liu was not a fool, and she naturally understood that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, so she did not resist.

Just like that, they soon arrived at the Bianjing dock.

At the same time, the sound of horse hooves and shouts could be heard again from the distance behind.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Gu Tingye looked back and saw that a group of cavalry had bypassed Commander Lin's obstruction and was rapidly approaching him.

Gu Tingye's expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no, it's still a little bit short."

Once this group of cavalrymen came up and entangled him, the pursuers behind him would naturally catch up one after another.

By then, it's all too late.

But at this moment, Gu Tingye could no longer think of any other way to escape.

"Oh, Bianjing City, I'm back again!"

Pinlan, at the bow, put her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly towards the distant Bianjing City.

You're not mistaken, it's Lu Xiao's sister-in-law.

This time when he returned to Beijing, his sister-in-law insisted on coming with him. In the end, Sheng Wei was so pestered that he had no choice but to agree.

Fortunately, her sister and brother-in-law were with her in Bianjing, so Sheng Wei didn't have to worry about his little daughter's safety.

At this moment, Pinlan suddenly pointed in the direction of Bianjing Wharf and said.

"Hey, there seems to be a fight on the dock? No, it seems like they're arresting someone. Why are there only soldiers?"

Because the distance was too far, she could only vaguely see the clothes those people were wearing, but could not see who they were chasing.

However, her words attracted Lu Xiao's attention.

Chapter 288: Divine Soldiers from Heaven

The public security in Bianjing City has always been good, and there are very few large-scale arrests.

With so many people mobilized, the people being arrested must have either committed a heinous crime or have a high status.

So Lu Xiao also looked towards the pier curiously.

Watching the fun seems to be in the genes of the Chinese people.

No matter when, where, or who you are, you cannot resist this temptation.

But when he saw this, Lu Xiao was immediately shocked.

With his keen eyesight, he could clearly see who was being hunted.

At this moment, on the dock, Gu Tingye held a long sword with a bent blade in his hand, and killed the rebels who rushed over again and again.

Behind him, Concubine Liu looked pale and full of despair.

Gu Tingye fought while leading Concubine Liu back, and it seemed that they were about to reach a point where they could no longer retreat.

After seeing their faces, Lu Xiao immediately understood that something must have happened in the palace.

However, the ship was still about 600 to 700 meters away from the dock. It was impossible to catch up with it unless we flew.

But looking at Gu Tingye's situation, he probably won't be able to wait for the boat to dock.

If this were in Shaoge World or Dafeng World, Lu Xiao could naturally fly there directly.

But the world is just an ordinary world, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too thin.

It was not enough to support him flying in the air.

Do I really have to watch Gu Tingye and Concubine Liu die at the hands of those people?

To be honest, Lu Xiao was also a little anxious.

Fortunately, at this moment, Lu Xiao suddenly remembered a scene he saw on TV in his previous life.

He immediately had an idea.

Since metaphysics is not enough, we can only use science to make up for it.

When he thought of this, he raised his hand and slapped the railing on the bow.

The railing instantly broke in two, with one half shooting straight towards the dock like a sharp sword.

At the same time, Lu Xiao also disappeared from the boat.

When he reappeared, he was already standing firmly on the railing that was flying in the air.

As the saying goes, great strength works miracles.

I can't fly in the air, but using the force of inertia, I can definitely cross hundreds of meters in an instant.

Six or seven hundred meters seemed very far at this moment.

But Lu Xiao was stronger.

The railing under my feet was flying at a speed of at least 50 meters per second.

A distance of six or seven hundred meters would only take eleven or twelve seconds at most.

Eleven or twelve seconds, I think Gu Tingye can still hold on.

However, besides the rebels chasing Concubine Liu, there were also countless civilians at the dock.

These people hid aside when Gu Tingye and the soldiers were fighting.

But at this moment, some people suddenly stood up and looked towards the distant sky.

"what is that?"

If there is one person, there will naturally be a second one.

As a result, more and more people discovered Lu Xiao's existence.
