After Guan Zantang and his group got off the city wall, they immediately ran wildly and ran far away. The Tartars who rushed over after hearing the news in the city frequently fired arrows, but unfortunately the thieves who set fired were already far away. The leader of the Qing army saw that the archery was useless, so he waved his hand and stopped his subordinates from shooting again. The leader called one of his subordinates and explained:

"Well, go and report to the Lord of the Sei-Cong. He said that a thief set fire and ran down the city wall."

Zuo Ling slapped his head and thought, since the city started to get fire and someone fled from the city wall, he naturally thought of the thieves and arson cases. He thought, there are at least twenty thieves, maybe they were doing a major case in the city, could they rob and set fire? Or did they fail to steal, and they killed and set fire after they found their fortunes? These thieves wanted to escape like this when they did a major case. How could they be so cheap!

Then he waved his hand and shouted:

"Others, get on the horse, chase me, and catch up with these damn thieves."

After a while, more than fifty horses roared out of the city gate and chased towards Guan Zan Tang and the others for escape. Speaking of which, the leader reacted very quickly, but it always took some time to run down the city wall, get to the stable, and get on the horses. When they opened the city gate and put down the suspension bridge. When they chased out of the city gate, Guan Zan Tang and the others had already arrived to pick up the horses. A group of people galloped and left the pursuers far behind.

After arriving at a forest, Guan Zantang and Qi Sheng and ten others got off the horse, took the prince and grandson on their backs, and walked into the forest. More than 20 other people continued to run wildly.

When the Qing army pursued soldiers saw that twenty or thirty horses were riding in front of them, they were afraid that they would lose their target, so they even urged the horse to run. When they turned around the woods, they found that the thief was still flying in front of them, so they naturally chased them.

Guan Zantang and his group entered the forest not far away, and saw the man whispering to Qi Sheng yesterday. The man pressed the root of a tree and saw a stone cover on the ground, revealing a hole. The entrance of the cave was not big, but it was enough to allow people to pass through. Qi Sheng made a gesture and the first one was to drill into the hole. Huang Ziyong followed Qi Sheng immediately, and the group quickly entered the hole. After entering the hole, the original person pressed the mechanism and the cover was restored as before. If someone came here in the forest, there would be no trace on the ground, and he would never know that this was the entrance to an underground palace!

The tunnel is oblique. The more you go down, the road becomes wider, and lights are on one side. When you get to the front, a fork appears. Qi Sheng turns left and walks not far away. Another fork is. Qi Sheng turns right and further forward, but there is a fork in front. Qi Sheng walks in the middle this time, so he turns left and right, and finally he reaches a three-meter-wide ground hall.

At this time, the two princes had already loosened their ties and took off the towels in their mouths. The prince was still angry about being tied up just now. Although Guan Zantang and Jin Quanyi and Jin Quanyi explained their apology one after another, the prince still had a stern face and the boss was unhappy.

The second prince Li Jing was very happy. He finally got rid of the clutches of the demons. He also heard that the Sino-Korean coalition forces were preparing to march into Liaodong. He really liked it. When he saw that the eldest brother was unhappy, he wanted to liven up the atmosphere and said:

"This looks like an underground maze, but I don't know how long it took to dig out such an underground palace. It's not easy to create such a huge project on the territory of the Tartars."

Qi Sheng smiled and said:

"It's so that the two princes will find out that the underground palace has been dug up since July, and it took half a year to dig it."

Prince Li Li was surprised and moved when he heard that the underground palace had been dug for half a year. Although these Ming Dynasty masters were a little rude to him just now, they were eager to do so, and they apologized. Now it seems that the Ming Dynasty has worked hard to create such a maze-like underground palace in order to rescue him. He is really thinking about his own safety. Thinking of this, he feels relieved. He then smiles and asks:

"You guys have trouble! I didn't expect that I had done such a big project. Captain Guan, can you tell me in detail what to do next?"

When Qi Sheng saw the prince Li Zhan and Yan Dong ask, he immediately greeted:

"Hehe, prince, second prince, why not sit down and talk in another hall?"

A few people entered a separate hall. The separate hall was about 15 zhang long and about 1 zhang wide. There was a table in the center, and there were eight chairs next to the table. The table and chairs seemed to be made of local materials, but they were not rough.

After sitting down, Guan Zantang began to introduce the rescue plan:

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, the rescue will be prepared from the end of June. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty sent a special person north to Liaodong and chose a place to dig underground shelters in order to rescue the two His Highnesses. This underground shelters were designed by my masters of the Ming Dynasty, and they specially sent craftsmen who were proficient in excavation. It took half a year to dig. As for this underground shelter, please let Lord Qi introduce it."

Qi Sheng is the deputy responsible for building underground shelters. Most of the people who are responsible for building underground palaces have been withdrawn. The other identity of these professionals who excavate are tomb robbers, and their excavation skills are the best in the world. Otherwise, if you want to complete such a huge project, relying solely on the 18 heroes, the excavation will not be successful in a year. Qi Sheng introduced:

"Don't worry, the two princes, this underground covers all multiple entrances and exits. When they came in, they turned left and right, like a maze. This was designed specifically. Even if the Tartars discovered this underground palace, they could not attack for a while. If they came in, they might not be able to find the main hall even if they were allowed to walk casually, and they might not be able to walk out. Haha! The underground is winding and long, and it is twenty miles in total. If there is no map and no one to lead the way, it is not easy to walk out from here. This underground palace stores a lot of food, enough for 100 people to eat for the first half of the year. Also, ventilation in the underground palace is good. Even if the entrance is discovered, smoke is useless. The ventilation here is good, so the prince does not need to worry."

After Qi Sheng arrived in Shenyang, he set up a brick factory here twelve miles away from the city to burn blue bricks. It is said that firing red bricks is simpler than firing blue bricks, and the cost is lower. However, in this era, because the hierarchy cannot burn red bricks, he could only leave it simple and complex. Originally, after the burning was naturally cooled, it was red bricks, but in order to turn the bricks into blue bricks, you had to slowly pour water on the skylight so that you could finally burn blue bricks. Qi Sheng set up this brick factory to facilitate excavation of the underground palace, because the soil excavated from the excavation of the underground palace is not a little bit. With this brick factory, you can hire people in a noble way.

, build factory sheds in an open manner, purchase excavation tools in an open manner, and the digging soil was instantly made into bricks. This brick yard is the best cover. Sure enough, no one was suspicious of this brick yard near the edge of the mountain forest. Qi Sheng and his group of people were digging here. No one expected that the foot of the mountain would be almost hollowed out by these people and dug into a small underground palace. On the same day, the people who designed the underground palace named the underground palace "Wild Fox Cave", which means that the underground palace is like a wild fox cave, with twists and turns inside, and there are many exits. The natural enemies of the wild fox can do anything to the wild fox cave.

Guan Zan Tang said:

"The underground palace dug by Lord Qi and the wise men of the Ming Dynasty can be maintained for at least twenty days even if it is discovered by the Tartars, so the two high men don't have to worry at all. This time our rescue plan is true, false, false, and real. At this time, the Tartars only knew that Hong Chengchou's mansion was burned, thinking that we were just targeting Hong Chengchou, and they would make a fool of themselves. Hong Chengchou's house was burned, but Hong Chengchou was fine, and the Tartars would not make a big fuss about this. It is estimated that if we chased, it would be left alone. We two people ran in different directions. There was a little danger, and maybe a few brothers would die. There was no way. Alas!"

Li Jing asked:

"Then why hide here? Wouldn't it be better if you just ride a horse and escape!"

Guan Zantang sighed and said:

"The two princes were robbed, and they would be exposed in less than one or two hours. Just imagine, if they were galloping in one or two hours, they would only run out for two hundred miles. As long as the Tartars released a message from Haidongqing, the Tartars along the way intercepted them all the way. Those brothers could fight or escape when they met Tartars, but the two high men could not charge in front of the formation. How dare they let the two princes take risks!"

Li Jing nodded and stopped talking. Guan Zantang continued:

"The reason we waited until today to rescue the two Your Highnesses is because the coalition forces of the Ming and North Koreans will attack Liaodong soon. Maybe they have already taken action. Before the Tartars get the news of the attack, we will go to Shenyang to rescue the two princes here, and hide here. Of course, hiding here is just a temporary solution. Here, we are waiting for the cavalry of the coalition. The coalition forces will send a cavalry to attack between Liaoyang and Shenyang within half a month. At that time, we only need to ride a horse and run for dozens of miles at night to meet our brigade of cavalry. At that time, we can be said to be completely out of danger. The brigade of cavalry escorted all the way south, then board the boat in Jinzhou, and first go to Dengzhou in the Ming Dynasty, or

The two high men decided to go back to North Korea. The reason why we proposed to go to Dengzhou first was nothing more than thinking about the families of the two high men in Shenyang. At that time, your father could send envoys to claim that the two high men were robbed by the Ming Dynasty and might have room for reincarnation. Of course, this is a later story. In short, this rescue operation is one link after another. First, we must rescue the two high men before the coalition attack. It is stuck and it cannot be too early, because this place is not a place to stay for a long time. It is not a big problem to hold for twenty days. It is difficult to say if it takes longer. Therefore, the time for our rescue is exactly two days before the coalition attack. The Tartars in Shenyang did not know that North Korea also participated in the coalition attack on Liaodong."

Guan Zantang estimated that the navy should have cleaned up the Tatars' navy at this time, but the one who took action was the Ming Navy. The Korean Navy did not participate in the war in the early stage. Although the Tatars were annoyed, they would not suddenly attack North Korea.

After hearing what Guan Zantang said, Li Qi thought that this rescue plan was extremely thorough. He burned Hong Chengchou's house, covered the rescue, and used this trick to divert the Tartars' sight. He quietly kidnapped himself and his second brother, and then deceived the Tartars again, hiding himself in this underground maze-like cave. Then a few days later, the Light Cavalry raided and responded to him fleeing south. It seemed that the rescue plan was seamless. Haha, he even thought of the excuse for himself to be "taken as a hostage by the Ming Dynasty", as if his father was forced to participate in the coalition. However, Li Qi was really heartbroken and no longer needed this excuse. He couldn't care about this concubine who accompanied him to Shenyang.
