Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2338: Escaping Rats



"Normally, yes," Nan Hua said and her eyes flashed with a glint. "But there are always exception of people who couldn't escape in normal ways if they were to wait until the army enter the city."

Long Qian Xing's eyes also narrowed.

He understood that what Nan Hua meant was the people who have special identities or have special position.

If these people tried to hide in the crowd, it was unlikely for them to succeed.

For those whose face has been known by many people around them, they would definitely be found after asking around. Trying to hide among the crowd would only lead them to their ends.

So they have to escape before the city fall.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This kind of action could be said to be cowardly but for the sake of survival, many people didn't seem to care about it at all.

Long Qian Xing had seen many people like this on the battlefield.

"Do you think someone will try tonight?"

"Who knows?" Nan Hua replied. She was not sure if it was correct or not but if they were smart enough, they would try to escape today. It was just that she would not allow them to escape successfully.

<Fan Yi Kingdom's Capital City, Imperial Palace>

Fan Yi Kingdom hadn't lost yet!

Some people were still persevering, hoping that Fan Yi Kingdom could turn the tables around in the battle tomorrow. Many people were silently hiding away in their home, worried but couldn't really do anything.

Their fate would depend on what these people from Fei Yang Kingdom decided to do and whether Fan Yi Kingdom could possibly win against Fei Yang Kingdom.

Whether it was good or bad, they didn't know.

The Imperial Palace was not that safe either.

Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor was locked in his room, looking at the corridor heading to the secret escape room with conflicted expression. He was thinking whether he should go or not. Because if he waited until Fei Yang Kingdom breached into the city, it might be too late.

But he also didn't want to be a coward emperor.

If it was recorded in history that he escaped because of fear, where would he put his face?

Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor sighed.

"How did things come to this in the first place?"

After venting his anger and other emotions for a long time, Fan Yi Kingdom had already calmed down by now. He glanced at the night sky and wondered if Fei Yang Kingdom would push forward tonight or wait until tomorrow?

Considering how quiet it is, the answer should be tomorrow.

But no matter what the answer is, Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor felt as if there was a blade pointing at his neck. He only needed to wait for some time for this blade to slit through his throat.

'If you know you're going to die, what are you going to do?'

Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor was silent for a while.

After a few moments, he sighed and walked in the direction of the harem. If it was destined that he couldn't survive, he would just enjoy the last few moments in his life.

At the very least, he wanted a comfortable life before his ending.

Though, Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor hoped that a miracle could happen and that Fan Yi Kingdom could win the war one way or another.

The problem is...

Even he understood that this was an extravagant hope.

<Fan Yi Kingdom, Imperial Palace, the other places>

Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor have more than one child. His children have grown up and many of them were already an adult and had their own minds. Aside from the first prince and also the former crown prince of Fan Yi Kingdom who had died many years ago, the rest of the princes were still living well.

They were staying in the Imperial Palace various palaces.

Some of them decided to lay down like Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor.

But some others wanted to escape and tried to find a way to get out of this mess. They all knew that their identity might allow them to stay alive, but what kind of life awaited them if they were to fall into Fei Yang Kingdom's hand?

They didn't know.

And they didn't want to imagine.

The second prince of Fan Yi Kingdom didn't have much burden in his heart when he decided to escape.

He knew very well that when his father knew what he had done, his father would never let him go. Moreover, would Fei Yang Kingdom let him off after his repeated provocation to them and attempts to use the people from Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City?

It was unlikely.

The second prince didn't want to bet his life on something he was uncertain of.

So he had already prepared the escape route.

Dressing as ordinary commoners, the second prince made his way out of the Imperial Palace. Of course, he pretended to be the servants along with his men to successfully came out of the

Imperial Palace.

After escaping the Imperial Palace, he made his way to the gate and bribed the guards there before sneaking out of the small human gate.

It was the gate at the side that could only fit one person at a time.

The soldiers could also try to seize it but the narrow space would make it easy for them to be subjected to encirclement. Unless they wanted to die, they would not take this route.

Moreover, it was usually also blocked by rocks and only temporarily opened by the guards.

"Your Highness, the horse is a bit far away, you have to walk until there," the servant

reminded.

This gate was really small and even horses couldn't pass by. So if the second prince wanted to use horse, he had to prepare it in advance.

Naturally, the second prince had done that.

But because of the consideration that there might be war, the horse was placed a bit far away.

He had to walk there.
