Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Time Comes and Turns

The princess asked more than a hundred questions, and finally the sky lightened up, and the cave gradually became warmer.Zhao Guan let out a long breath, lifted his spirits, stood up and said: "Okay, we went to the gate of ghosts for a while, now it's time to return to the sun!"Luck has walked around in the body, feeling tired, and can only be thankful that a life has not been lost. He walked to the edge of the ice door, took out a small knife from his boot, and inserted it along the gap between the rock and the ice wall, and the ice was slightly loosened.Zhao Guan hit it seven or eight times with the knife, and finally pried off a large piece of ice.The two cheered, knowing that if the ice could be pried, they would have a chance to escape, so they worked together to beat the ice with knives and daggers on the edge of the stone wall, making a tinkling sound.The ice wall is always more than ten feet thick. At dawn, the ice is extremely hard, and it takes a long time to pry off a piece. As the day approaches, the ice gradually melts, making it much easier.After noon, Zhao Guan and the princess have cut a thin opening, which can lead to the outside.

The princess said happily: We are saved.As long as the hole is drilled a little bigger, it can be drilled out.The two continued to work hard on the ice.Unexpectedly, the sky suddenly darkened, and feathery snowflakes began to float again. Zhao Guan frowned and said, "Why is God so uncooperative, why don't you fill in the hole we worked so hard to drill when it snows?"Drill the ice even tighter. Unexpectedly, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the wind and snow were blowing, Zhao Guan was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, knowing that if the snow didn't stop, no matter how fast he dug, it would be useless, and it would eventually be filled with ice and snow.But if the two of them cannot escape today, it is absolutely difficult for them to survive another night under the combination of hunger and fatigue.He stopped dejectedly, turned back to the princess and said: "Let's embrace the Buddha's feet quickly and ask the Bodhisattva to bless you!"

The princess stepped forward to hold his hand, and said in a low voice: We have done our best, and the rest can only be resigned to fate. The two were relatively silent, and at this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and it seemed that someone was coming outside stepping on the snow.Zhao Guan's heart moved, he rushed to the ice door, and shouted at the small hole he dug: Help!Help!Knowing that this was the only chance for the two of them, the princess rushed to the edge of the cave and shouted for help in the Japanese language. Not long after, a group of people came near the ice gate, and a woman called out: "Young Master, Young Master!"is that youHearing her voice, Zhao Guan was ecstatic, jumped up, and hurriedly shouted to the entrance of the cave: Kiss Lilac, the young master is here!I'm behind the ice wall.

There was a lot of footsteps outside, and a group of people searched for a while before they came outside the cave. It was Boss Pu who first noticed someone behind the ice wall, and said in surprise: It's Your Royal Highness!Hurry up, smash this ice wall open!He commanded his subordinates to work together with all the Korean warriors, and took up swords and iron rods to strike the ice wall.Many people beat together, naturally much faster, less than half an hour, they cut a hole in the ice wall, the princess and Zhao Guan got out one after another. Boss Pu wept with joy when he saw that the princess was safe, knelt down and said: After we arrived on the island, we heard that His Highness and the Lord Jiangtan had come to the big house on the mountain, so we rushed to look for it, but only saw a room full of dead bodies.We were so worried that we searched the house for a long time, and then came to the back mountain to look for it. God bless you, both of you are safe!

The princess said: "Thanks to Jiang Tanzhu who sacrificed his life to protect us, we were able to escape from the den of thieves and escape from the sky."At the moment, I simply said that Fukue Island is the base camp of the Japanese pirates, and the two of them were almost killed by Kaganako, etc. Boss Park and Ding Xiang all heard that it was dangerous. Everyone found a shrine in a small village at the foot of the mountain that day, Zhao Guan was so tired that he couldn't even walk steadily, fell into a coma as soon as he fell into bed, and didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.When he opened his eyes, he saw the silhouette of Ding Xiang sitting beside the bed. He felt a warmth in his heart and asked, "Dear Ding Xiang, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Ding Xiangxi said: "The young master is awake."I'm worried, young master, where can I sleep?Are you hungry?I'll get some porridge for you to eat. Zhao Guan held her hand and said: I'm not hungry.Be good, Ding Xiang, you don't blame me for leaving you on the boat, do you?Ding Xiang shook her head and said: How could I blame the young master?I know that the young master will let me stay when I am one of my own.The young master rode that strange fish, if something happened, I wouldn't live alone. Zhao Guan was very moved, he held her in his arms, talked about other things, and asked: After I leave, is everyone on board alright?Ding Xiang said: "Something happened."Several North Korean warriors blamed each other with Mr. Park's subordinates and fought, but it was me and young master Nian who stopped it together.Later, a samurai secretly let Zheng Guirong out, and escaped in a boat, but the boat had been tampered with by sailors, and it sank after sailing for a while.Everyone was angry that Zheng Guirong poured out the clear water, causing everyone to wait to die of thirst on the boat, and they didn't save him.In the early morning of the next day, Hai Ling'er came back and brought clean water for everyone to drink.Everyone was very happy and cheered in unison, saying that he is the god of the sea.

Zhao Guan said with a smile: "I didn't expect our young master to have a backbone, and dare to come out to fight against injustices in a crisis."By the way, where is Hai Linger?Ding Xiang said: After he sent us ashore, he rode away on the big fish.He wanted me to tell the young master that the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever, and there will be a period later. Zhao Guan couldn't help laughing, these quack words were taught by himself to Hai Linger, unexpectedly he really kept them in his heart, and asked Ding Xiang to pass them on to him.But when he thought that he would never see this strange man again in this life, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

After Zhao Guan ate some hot porridge, he went out to look for Boss Pu, and saw that he was taking care of clear water and food by the sea, Zhao Guan stepped forward and asked: Are we leaving?Pu Laodao: Yes.The princess ordered to depart Beihang after nightfall and return to North Korea.I heard that the little prince may have been captured and brought back to Hanjing, so we have to catch up quickly.Zhao Guan knew that after returning to North Korea, the princess would be hunted down by the government and would be in danger, so he decided to follow her to the end and protect her well. In the afternoon of the same day, everyone boarded the boat again, and under the guidance of local fishermen, they sailed northward avoiding hidden reefs.This Fukue Island is not far from the Korean Peninsula, and in the early morning of the next day, it arrived at Lishui Port at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula.Everyone went ashore quietly, Boss Park found acquaintances on the shore and settled them in a guest house, then went out to set up a horse-drawn cart, ready to go north.

Zhao Guan stood waiting outside the house, not long after, he saw Boss Park rushing back, followed by a man in official uniform, and then followed by a group of officers and soldiers. Zhao Guan was startled: Did Boss Park betray the princess?But seeing everyone's respectful expressions, the North Korean official quickly came to the door, knelt down on the ground, prostrated himself and said a few words.The princess opened the door and came out with a surprised look on her face. She asked repeatedly, and the official answered them one by one, and then led other officials to worship. Zhao Guan was completely puzzled, and asked: Your Highness, what's going on here?The princess covered her face with her hands, wept with joy, and said: God help me, God help me!Turning to Zhao Guan, he said: "The king died of a serious illness. The ministers of the court and the central government made a joint decision to welcome the younger brother to the throne!"

Zhao Guan heard that such a big event happened in North Korea, the little prince turned from a fleeing traitor to the new king of North Korea, it is really unpredictable, he thought: the little prince was captured by Japanese devils, I wonder if it is safe?Has he returned to Hanjing?Just as she was about to ask, she saw that the princess had already taken a step forward, giving orders to the officials and Boss Park, and everyone knelt down to listen and agreed repeatedly. Seeing the joyful expression of the princess, Zhao Guan quietly stepped aside, thinking: It would be best if the little prince can ascend the throne alive.The princess has been traveling all this time, and after going through so many ups and downs, she is finally able to see the sun and return to the imperial capital. It is time to celebrate happily, so why should I pour cold water on her at this time?

In the next few days, the princess was very busy. When the officials in the nearby towns and cities heard that the princess was here, they all flocked to see her and discuss the matter of welcoming the little prince to the throne.Zhao Guan and Ding Xiang had nothing to do, so they wandered around the suburbs of nearby towns, saw the customs of North Korea, and ate North Korean spicy beef, enjoying themselves.
