Chapter 136
Wuyang in Qi Tanying's arms was startled awake by the sound, and burst into tears. The emperor's grandson and the little princess buried their heads in the adults' arms in fright.

Qi Tanying hurriedly untied her clothes to breastfeed her son, temporarily stopping her innocent crying.The secret room was extremely quiet, and the few people dared not come out of their tense atmosphere.

After recovering, Ting Lan clutched her chest and leaned against the door again to listen to the movement outside.

I only heard someone outside saying: "His grandma's, this stone gate is too strong, even gunpowder can't blow it apart."

"It must be that the amount of gunpowder is not enough. Add some more, and it will explode."

The light words of the people outside fell on Ting Lan's ears like a huge boulder, and she ran back in a panic, "It's not good, they have to increase the amount of gunpowder until the stone gate is blown open."

After hearing this, everyone was terrified.

Madam Qi was startled and frightened, "In this way, even if we are not caught by the rebels, we will be killed by gunpowder."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was another earth-shattering explosion. The stone door was not destroyed by the explosion, but a thick layer of shock was raised in the secret room due to the explosion.

Although Qi Tanying covered her son's ears, Wuyang was still frightened and burst into tears in her arms.The grandson and the little princess also sobbed softly when they heard Wuyang's cry.

Not only children are afraid, but adults are also afraid.While coaxing the children, Qi Tanying prayed in her heart that the reinforcements would quickly bring people to rescue them.

I don't know if praying helped, but after the second explosion stopped, the outside became very quiet.Ting Lan leaned on the stone gate and listened carefully again, and faintly heard the sound of weapons clashing.

Her eyes lit up, and she said loudly, "Is someone coming to save us?"

Qi Tanying walked over with the child in her arms, and followed her to lie on the stone gate and listen carefully for a while, and there was indeed the sound of fighting.Although we don't know who came, it's obviously not the same group of people who blasted Shimen with gunpowder just now.

Maybe they really are saved.

Several people returned to the stone bed and waited quietly. After a while, the fighting sound gradually disappeared.

A rough male voice rang out from outside the stone gate, "Princess Concubine, the rebels outside have been killed by us, you can open the door."

Madam Qi and Ting Lan were overjoyed, and looked at Qi Tanying in unison.

Qi Tanying's heart sank when she heard this, she shook her head, "They are not reinforcements."

Everyone looked at her.

The Crown Princess said, "Do you still remember what Master Song said when he left?"

Ting Lan thought about it carefully, and said: "Master Song said that no one can open the door unless the signal is given."

"That's right." Qi Tanying said with a serious face: "The people outside showed two flaws. One is that they didn't give a password, and the other is that they asked the princess to open the door for them as soon as they came up."

She raised the token in her hand, "Don't forget, the token to activate the mechanism is with me." Based on what she knew about Song Erlang, he would not let the princess open the door by himself.

As soon as these words came out, the hopes in everyone's hearts were shattered.

The people outside got impatient and urged him several times.Qi Tanying and the others knew there was a fraud and did not respond.Seeing that they were not fooled, the people outside began to curse and even threatened them that they would blow them up with gunpowder if they didn't come out.

Still, they waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, the little princess was hungry and clamored for something to eat.The concubine coaxed her for a while, but failed to coax her well. Instead, she made the princess cry, and the grandson of the emperor on the side also stared at her eagerly.

The evacuation was too hasty, and I didn't bring anything. The adults could still carry it, but the children couldn't last long.If the reinforcements don't come again, even if they are not killed by the bomb, there is still a risk of starvation and thirst.

At this moment, the shouting and cursing outside stopped abruptly, followed by very clear sounds of fighting and screams.

Qi Tanying and others involuntarily gathered in front of the stone gate, listening to the voices from outside.After a while, the fighting stopped, and they heard Song Erlang's voice again.

"Ma'am, I'm Song Jue."

Qi Tanying carefully identified it, and it was indeed Song Erlang's voice.Qi Tanying asked loudly about the password they had negotiated before, and the people outside answered it verbatim.

To be cautious, Qi Tanying asked another question: "Yuan Niang said that you have promised to bring uncle and aunt to the capital after the next year?"

The man outside said: "How is it possible, Yuan Niang never told me about this."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's normal that Song Erlang didn't know, because she made up this question temporarily.She handed the child to Ting Lan, took the token and walked to the organ. After putting the token into the groove, the stone door slowly opened.

Song Erlang's face appeared behind the stone gate.

After the stone door was fully opened, Song Erlang immediately said: "All the rebels in the temple have been dealt with, and the Crown Princess and Madam can go back to their room to rest."

After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

After coming out of the secret room, there were corpses everywhere in the temple, and the strong smell of blood rushed to her face. Qi Tanying felt her stomach was overwhelmed, and she almost vomited it out.

Not only her, Madam Qi and Ting Lan were also the same, only the crown princess remained calm, and the emperor grandson and the young princess also tightly covered their mouths with their hands.

After finally returning to his room, Song Erlang ordered someone to bring food and drink. After eating and drinking enough, his body, which had been dominated by fear for almost a day, finally relaxed.

Qi Tanying was worried about Yan Li, so she asked Song Erlang about the situation. Song Erlang said: "My subordinates have just received a letter from your lord that all the rebels in the capital city have been killed. With men hunting them down."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying became even more worried, and prayed in her heart that her husband would not be hurt.

At the same time, Yan Li and Wu Han followed King Yu and his party to the Luojiang River outside the city, joined the Tiger Guard camp led by King Qian, and surrounded King Yu and others.

Standing at the height of the Luojiang stands, King Qian looked down at King Yu, "I never expected to see Brother Yu running around in this lifetime. This trip out of the palace is really worthwhile!"

King Yu heard his sarcasm, sneered and didn't answer.

Qian Wang's face darkened uncontrollably, and he dared to show such a look when he was about to die.He wanted to see if he would remain so calm after a while.

"Come here, bring up Xun Kuang, the remnant of the previous dynasty."

After King Qian's words fell, a young man wearing Taoist robes and tied with five flowers was brought in front of King Qian. He asked him to face his face in the direction of King Yu and his party.

After seeing the man's appearance clearly, King Yu snorted softly, with an indifferent look on his face.

Instead, a figure wearing a cloak and a curtain behind him pushed a woman holding a child forward, and said loudly: "I advise you to let him go, or I will kill them immediately."
