"Her purpose is to use you to create the illusion that I was humiliated by you.
Then she threatened you and forced you to continue working for her, and eventually kill the King of Loulan for her."
As Du Qingwan spoke, she clenched her fists involuntarily and her face turned gloomy.
She knew that Queen Mother Qiao was vicious, but she didn't expect that she could be so unscrupulous.
After glancing disdainfully at the five angry people, Du Qingwan suddenly sneered and said calmly:
"What kind of person is the King of Loulan? He is brave and good at fighting, brave and resourceful. How can you compare with him?"
“No matter what the outcome is, you can’t escape sacrifice!
If we are smart, we can work together to escape from here now, and maybe we can still have a chance of survival."
Having said this, Du Qingwan didn’t want to say anything more.
After a long sigh of helplessness, she quietly walked to the door, stretched out a finger to poke a hole in the window paper, and looked out through the small hole.
The next second, her eyes became extremely cold, and the five people were stunned.
"Ms. Du, what's wrong? What's going on outside?"
The leader was a little worried and looked out through the small hole.
"Damn it! What if Queen Mother Qiao is plotting against us?
The guards outside are like an iron wall. We can't escape even if we have wings!"
Before Du Qingwan could respond, the leader started to curse.
Upon hearing this, the other four people became extremely panicked and could not stay for even a second.
"Then Miss Du, what should we do now?"
When one person learned that things were not going well, he had no choice but to place all his hopes on Du Qingwan, feeling very anxious.
Du Qingwan just smiled calmly, not looking anxious at all, but full of confidence:
"I know there is a secret passage in Ren'an Palace that directly connects to Lingyun Pavilion in the cold palace. I just don't know where it is..."
Speaking of this secret passage, Du Qingwan discovered it by accident when she was imprisoned in Lingyun Pavilion.
She also sneaked into the secret passage several times and groped her way to Ren'an Palace.
But at that time, she was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to push open the secret door rashly.
So naturally, I don’t know which room in Ren’an Palace is behind the secret door.
"Then hurry up and find it! We must find a secret passage to escape from here, otherwise we will all die!"
The leader couldn't hold back any longer, so he turned around and started looking for the secret passage.
Seeing this, several people followed and started searching carefully.
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
The six people in the house subconsciously stopped searching for the secret passage and involuntarily pricked up their ears to listen.
"The Loulan barbarians are attacking the city, follow me and fight!
You guys, keep an eye on the people in there. If one of you is missing, I’ll hold you accountable!”
"Yes! General! Watch carefully! Don't let even a fly fly in!"
"Yes!"
Soon, all the guards dispersed, leaving only about ten people to continue to hold the Ren'an Palace.
Du Qingwan also learned that Wanyan Hongze and Ke Minmin had begun attacking the city and the situation was very serious.
"No! I have to go out now, I want to save Wanyan Hongze and Sister Min!
They are not familiar with the palace, and will definitely fall into Queen Mother Qiao's ambush!"
Thinking that Wanyan Hongze and Ke Minmin might be caught in a trap by Empress Dowager Qiao, Du Qingwan couldn't stay any longer.
Her palms were covered in cold sweat, and her face turned pale as she kept moving back and forth.
The leader saw this and didn't know how to appease them. He could only sigh helplessly and worry.
"No, no, I have to go out and save Wanyan Hongze and Sister Min now!
If they were a step later, they might have really fallen into Queen Mother Qiao’s trap…”
While talking, Du Qingwan quickly ran to the door, stretched out her hand to push it open, but was stopped by several people.
"Ms. Du, we know you are in a hurry to save people, but if you walk out like this, you will definitely be stabbed to death by those people! Calm down first!"
"Yes! Miss Du, shall we think of another solution?"
"Yes, let's think of another way. Maybe there really is a secret passage here? We can escape through the secret passage!"
Several people tried to persuade Du Qingwan one after another, but they were actually very nervous.
Now the six of us are in the same boat. No matter who leaves this room, everyone will die.
Du Qingwan was in a hurry to save people, so how could she have the mind to listen to others' comfort?
"But Wanyan Hongze and Sister Min are not familiar with this place. Since Queen Mother Qiao thought of using me to force them to attack the city, she must have set a trap."
Du Qingwan was obsessed with Wanyan Hongze, and no matter how others tried to persuade her, it was of no use.
The five people had no choice but to tiptoe around to find the secret passage while keeping an eye on Du Qingwan, fearing that she would suddenly take the risk and run out when they weren't paying attention.
At this time, the entire palace was ablaze, and the sounds of fighting could be heard from the air, making Du Qingwan even more uneasy.
"Kill them all! Don't let any of them go!"
"Yes! Boss! Brothers, come on!
We must find the whereabouts of the Queen as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
Xu Qingsheng and Zhang Laoer!
"Don't worry, our reinforcements are here! Everyone, come out with me, I promise they won't hurt you!"
Hearing the voices of Xu Qingsheng and Zhang Laoer, Du Qingwan immediately perked up and her face was full of joy.
Before the five people could react, she opened the door and walked out excitedly.
"Boss, I'm here!"
Seeing Xu Qingsheng fighting hard against the enemy, Du Qingwan hurriedly called out to him and waved her hands.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingsheng quickly stabbed a Ye guard to death, then turned around and shouted at Zhang Laoer:
"Second brother! You are responsible for protecting the queen! Quick!"
"Okay! Brothers, kill them!"
Zhang Laoer did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered his men to come and protect Du Qingwan, while he himself provided cover from behind.
But in just a moment, all the guards in Ren'an Palace were killed by Xu Qingsheng, Zhang Laoer and others.
At this time, the people who tied up Du Qingwan had just killed the last few eunuchs and quickly retreated to Du Qingwan's side.
Seeing that the five men looked unfamiliar, Xu Qingsheng drew his sword and prepared to stab them to death, but was stopped by Du Qingwan.
"Master, please spare their lives! They are good people, but they were used by Queen Mother Qiao. Now they have turned over a new leaf."
"We must go out and look for Wanyan Hongze and Sister Min now, otherwise they will fall into Queen Mother Qiao's ambush!"
After Du Qingwan finished speaking, she looked anxiously outside Ren'an Palace.
At this moment, the night with flames all over the sky seemed particularly terrifying.
It felt suffocating and the smell of blood was extremely strong.
"Okay. I'll do as you say! But the situation ahead is already a mess, and we are here to find you. We have no idea where the king and the chieftain are!"
Xu Qingsheng pondered for a few seconds and soon agreed with Du Qingwan's idea, but at the same time he also felt a little uneasy.
He and Zhang Laoer were indeed responsible for finding Du Qingwan, while Ke Minmin and Wanyan Hongze divided their forces to attack the city, one at the north gate and the other at the south gate.
Now that the north and south gates have been breached, the Loulan soldiers and the southern Yunnan army have merged into one and are fighting a bloody battle with the Daye soldiers.
It is extremely difficult to successfully find Wanyan Hongze and Ke Minmin in this extremely chaotic fighting scene.
