Chapter 320 Escape
The sudden suicide bombing brought Dorgon's entourage to a temporary halt. Dorgon, anxious to capture Wang Wenzhou, hastily ordered his troops to continue, but just as the procession began, someone ran towards them shouting, "The war will not end, the holy war will not cease!"
"Bang!" The bomb vest on his body exploded.
Dorgon shook his head helplessly. "Wang Wenzhou has some good methods. How could he train so many fearless warriors? If the Ming Dynasty's army were all like this, my Great Qing Dynasty would never have been able to establish itself."
"Continue on, but be on high alert," Dorgon commanded.
The caravan continued its journey. "Bang!" Another warrior charged forward, only to be killed by a hail of arrows, his bomb vest exploding afterward. Each explosion caused Dorgon's caravan to pause briefly, thus continuing their journey in fits and starts.
……
Inside the Qunfang Pavilion, the Imperial Guards and Lin Qing's men were locked in a life-or-death struggle. Every now and then, someone would detonate the explosive vests on their body. Of the 300 elite soldiers led by Lin Qing, more than 100 had been killed or wounded, while the Imperial Guards were dwindling in number.
Lin Qing raised his knife and chopped off Zhang Rucui's left arm.
Severely injured, Zhang Rucui knew she was no match for Lin Qing. She resolutely ignited the explosive vest on her body and lunged at Lin Qing.
Lin Qing reacted quickly, kicking Zhang Rucui away and using the momentum to roll backward.
"Bang!" The bomb vest on Zhang Rucui's body exploded, and her body was instantly torn to pieces.
At this moment, only two Imperial Guards remained in the Qunfang Pavilion. They glanced at each other, ignited the bombs on their bodies, and then charged towards the Qing soldiers.
"Bang, bang!" Two loud explosions rang out, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers were buried with them.
"Scatter quickly! Search everywhere, don't miss any corner, we must find Wang Wenzhou!" Lin Qing hurriedly ordered.
Lin Qing's men quickly dispersed to search in all directions.
"Lord Lin, there is a secret room here!" a soldier suddenly shouted.
"Everyone, follow me!" Lin Qing waved his hand and led his men forward.
"Sir! There's a secret passage here!" a soldier said, pointing to the entrance of the passage.
"Chase!" Lin Qing took the lead and rushed in.
Lin Qing ran forward for more than ten meters and then saw figures moving in front of him. It was Wang Wenzhou and his babies.
It wasn't that Wang Wenzhou didn't want to escape quickly; the key issue was that Gao Guilan was suffering from a cold and fever, and had no strength to run. Wang Wenzhou had no choice but to carry her on his back as they fled, which slowed their pace.
"Stop them!" Wang Wenzhou hurriedly ordered the five Imperial Guards following him.
The five people turned around and rushed towards Lin Qing.
"Haha!" Lin Qing laughed loudly, "Wang Wenzhou, where do you think you're going? Today is your death day!"
"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou turned around and saw that the person wielding a broadsword and fighting with the guards was none other than Lin Qing, that idiot. He never expected Lin Qing to have defected to the Tartars.
"Run, babies! We've run into an idiot! If we fall into his hands, we're all dead! Remember, if we can't escape, immediately go and surrender to the Tartars—real Tartars. After surrendering, immediately reveal your identities as my wives and concubines, Wang Wenzhou's wives. As long as you live, I can rescue you. If you fall into this idiot's hands, you're doomed!" Wang Wenzhou hurriedly said.
Lin Qing was burdened with a deep-seated blood feud, and now that his enemy was right in front of him, he fought with increasing ferocity. In no time, Wang Wenzhou's five personal guards were eliminated.
"Wang Wenzhou, where do you think you're going!" Lin Qing immediately gave chase.
Wang Wenzhou glanced back and saw Lin Qing catching up again. He said to Wu Sangui, "Little Gui, the time has come to serve the Ming Dynasty! Stop them quickly!"
Wu Sangui gripped his sword tightly, giving Wang Wenzhou a hostile look. "Wang Wenzhou, you've finally met your match? You castrated me, so why should I fight for you?"
Wang Yingbao suddenly snatched the imperial sword from Wang Wenzhou's hand and said, "Wang Wenzhou, you guys go quickly, I'll hold him off for a while."
Wang Ying's father was a military general. Although she married Zhu Youjian and became an imperial concubine, she had practiced martial arts since childhood.
"No..." Wang Wenzhou was about to speak to stop her when Wang Ying turned around and rushed forward.
"Uncle! Put me down and run away yourself!" Gao Guilan's baby also became disobedient at this time, struggling to jump off Wang Wenzhou's back.
Chen Yuanyuan placed her hand on Wu Sangui's sword and said coldly, "General Wu, if you don't want to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, could you lend me your sword? Although I don't want to be loyal to the country either, I want to save my husband!"
Chen Yuanyuan's words were clearly a veiled insult, implying that Wu Sangui was not a real man.
These days, Wang Wenzhou has been harassing Wu Sangui whenever he has free time. Chen Yuanyuan, feeling guilty, has been taking great care of Wu Sangui.
Perhaps it was the "inertia of history" that made Wu Sangui fall in love with Chen Yuanyuan at first sight. Although he was now a eunuch, he couldn't back down in front of the girl he loved.
"Madam, you must escape! I will go and hold off the pursuers!" Wu Sangui said, then turned and charged forward with his sword.
"Sister-in-law! Come back quickly! General Wu is a famous general of our Ming Dynasty. He can stop the pursuers by himself!" Wang Wenzhou didn't want his baby to die.
"Alas..." Wu Sangui sighed. He really wanted to stab Wang Wenzhou, that shameless scoundrel, to death with his sword, but if he did so, Chen Yuanyuan would surely be heartbroken. These past few days, Chen Yuanyuan had cared for him and helped him. Although he was a eunuch, he still loved Chen Yuanyuan, and he really didn't want to hurt her.
"You rascal! Run away!" Wang Ying turned around and cursed irritably.
"Hurry up!" Chen Yuanyuan said anxiously, pulling on Wang Wenzhou's arm.
"Let's go! Don't let Sister Yingying's sacrifice be in vain!" Wen Liandie urged Wang Wenzhou, pulling his arm.
My babies are fighting desperately, how can I run away? Although Wang Wenzhou is shameless, he's a chauvinist. He already feels guilty that the ugly girl died saving him. If he runs away now, Gao Guilan and Wang Ying's two babies will definitely fall into Lin Qing's hands.
Given Lin Qing's hatred for him, what if that idiot Lin Qing sleeps with his baby to vent his anger? Thinking of this, Wang Wenzhou shook off the two babies, turned around and rushed forward.
Chen Yuanyuan smiled wryly. This crazy man of hers, he's a real man now! But now is not the time for him to be a hero!
Wang Wenzhou said loudly, "Brother Lin, although we have some past grievances, could you please let me go today? If you spare me, I will definitely repay you in the future!"
"Haha!" Lin Qing laughed loudly, "Wang Wenzhou, you're dead today!"
Wang Ying dodged Lin Qing's slashing sword, glanced back at Wang Wenzhou, and complained, "Wang Wenzhou, run away!"
“Sister-in-law, we’ve developed feelings for each other these past few days. How could I abandon you?” Wang Wenzhou said with deep affection.
"Sigh!" Wang Ying sighed. What a jerk! What time is it now, and you're still acting crazy and unreliable.
"Lord Wang, I'm here!" Jiang Zhenghe turned back to check on Wang Wenzhou, who hadn't escaped after so long.
Wang Ying hurriedly ordered, "Jiang Zhenghe, quickly escort Wang Wenzhou to escape!"
"Where do you think you're going!" Lin Qing bypassed Wang Ying and slashed at Wang Wenzhou's neck with his broadsword.
Wang Ying, Wu Sangui, and Jiang Zhenghe came to the rescue at the same time, and "bang!" the broadsword was deflected by the three men's weapons.
"Xiao Jiang, it's up to you here! Sister-in-law, let's run!" Wang Wenzhou grabbed Wang Ying.
