Chapter 41: Escape from the palace

Gomez ’s killing clearly caused more upheaval. Some nearby soldiers who were still resisting began to panic. They backed away. More and more people gathered together to withdraw to the backyard. Several soldiers also noticed There seems to have been a change in the living room. Just as they were about to run over, there was a violent loud noise in the direction of the palace gate in the distance, and the entire palace seemed to shake in the sound!
"This is ..." Osborn, who was behind the Aragonese soldiers, looked dullly ahead. Although a few houses passed, a thick smoke rising from the night could still be seen clearly. "Cannon?"
Osbourne's head buzzed, but it was not shocked by the sound of the cannon, but was completely silly because of this series of sudden changes.
He did n’t see Gomez ’s death, but the rumors that
Gomez is dead, Palace phase was killed!
Have been shouting everywhere in the palace, which has made him frightened. The chaos turned into an attack on the palace, and even artillery appeared, and Osborne felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
The tailor never thought of participating in a real battle. Even if he volunteered this time, it was only to restore his already shaken position in the heart of Miyazaki, but everything that is happening now has exceeded his imagination, not to mention Gomez ’s death. Osborne is completely desperate.
"Alexander, where is he?" Osborne asked the person next to him, and then he shouted, "Where is Gumbre, go find him quickly and take him away!"
Several Aragonese soldiers stared at Osborne blankly, not knowing why he was so nervous about the safety of the Greek. Although these people were trusted by Gomez, they disagreed with Osborne and now they heard that Miyazaki was dead. Although I don't know if the news is true or false, it is already morale.
There were shouts from outside the palace, and the soldiers were tense. They knew that the people had rushed into the palace. At this time, no one had been able to figure out how the artillery suddenly appeared, and no one listened to Osborne's order. In times of chaos, venture to a Greek.
The soldiers ran to the southwest corner of the palace. They knew that there should be their companions, because the palace guard was usually stationed there, and in the middle of the two right-angled towers in the southwest corner, there was a small but very built The fortified inner fort, which was prepared by the Normans in the early years for the defense of the palace to be broken through as the final resistance.
Osborne was almost wrapped around by soldiers and ran towards the inner fort, or he was already guilty, but he made excuses for his escape, just thinking that if there was any accident in Alexander, his future would be completely over.
Alexander flashed out of the two half-covered doors and was seeing a scene in Lang Ting.
The killing of Gomez surprised him, but he was more concerned about the safety of Sophia, so he only hurriedly glanced over there and turned towards the living room of Mrs. Gongxiang.
Although it was not entirely clear which room the lady lived in, Alexander had seen the maid serving her come and go from here, while those who killed Gomez were excited to search for loot on the unlucky palace body, Alexander Passing through the grass behind Lang Ting, quickly flashed into the crooked door that was obviously knocked open.
Then he felt a trip to his feet and tripped to the ground before he could see clearly.
Screamed, and then was interrupted by life.
Because suddenly, Alexander's sword had been released, he rolled quickly and wanted to get up, but when he looked up, his forehead was just resisted by a cold crossbow arrow!
Then he saw Sophia's wide eyes, open mouth, and her nervous expression of surprise.
"Sophia!" Alexander jumped up excitedly. He didn't even care about stepping on something that felt soft, so he threw Sophia in his arms!
"Ah ~"
The girl who ca n’t speak can only express her inner feelings in the simplest tone, but she does n’t know how much meaning, but she also hugged Alexander ’s neck tightly, even strangling him with some breathless power, but told everything. Out.
"Where is my husband?"
Even though the voice still remained reserved in the critical moment, Alexander saw that Mrs. Gong Xiang was moving her hand away from the side maid ’s mouth. It seemed that this was the cry made by the woman just now, and he was even more surprised when he saw it. To the two men who fell on the floor in the room, there was another who stumbling over him lying in the doorway.
Although he didn't see any wounds, but looking at the motionlessness of these people, Alexander's first reaction was that these people were already dead.
He looked at Mrs. Gong Xiang in surprise. Although he had heard that this lady was from the Aragon family, it was a typical name, but the scene before him still made him feel incredible.
Could this lady still be a hidden master?
This absurd thought disappeared in a flash, and of course Alexander did not believe that this would happen, and he also saw the short crossbow in Sophia's hand, which made him seem to understand what.
"How about my husband?" Madam asked again in a whisper, and then waited for an answer. She suddenly said, "Is he dead?"
Alexander nodded in amazement. He noticed that Mrs. Gong Xiang's tone was not an inquiry, but only a narrative. It seemed that Miya's death was already in her expectation.
"Greeks, you protect us from leaving here," Mrs. Gong Xiang's tone was still reserved, it seemed that her husband's death did not cause any other emotional changes in her, and as she said, Alexander unexpectedly saw from the room A slightly older woman came out of the depths, holding a boy in her hand and holding a smaller girl in her arms.
"We're leaving here," said Mrs. Gong Xiang decisively, her head straight up only slightly lowered even when she walked over the corpse under her feet, and then straightened her waist bar straight, it seems that there is no such thing in this world. Anything can make her stoop. "Protect my children from leaving, I will give you enough rewards." Then she looked at Sophia holding the short crossbow next to her, and continued: "Take care of my words, this girl I Back to you, as long as you protect my children ’s safety, I will do my best to repay you, and I swear in the honor of the Aragonese nobility. "
Mrs. Gong Xiang ’s words made Alexander secretly whisper, and he had already seen how much the reputation of the Aragonese nobleman, whether it ’s Mrs. Gong, Mrs. Gong, or Alfonso, this is the so-called famous Aragonese tribe. Mindfully, this can be seen from the fact that Miyazaki used Sophia to threaten him, and Alfonso did not hesitate to launch a conspiracy attack to become a bishop.
It's just that although he is trying to save Sophia, it seems impossible if she doesn't take Mrs. Gong Xiang and her children away. Although this woman can't stop him, it can be done if he wants to destroy his escape.
Alexander didn't doubt that if she found that she was going to throw them away, the woman would attract the enemy with a broken net.
"Come on," Alexander didn't want to be entangled with Mrs. Gong Xiang, this is the kind of woman called firm-willed but actually paranoid. He said that he pulled Sophia to the door and looked out, when he noticed that he fell down. A familiar crossbow arrow was inserted into the man at the door. "Did you do this?"
Sophia nodded and pointed at the other body, which seemed to be saying that she had also killed it, which made Alexander secretly stunned. He never thought that this gypsy girl was so powerful that he could kill two. Men holding weapons.
The outside has changed. The sudden artillery scared the guards and surprised the gangsters. It seems that they did not expect this kind of change. As the palace gate was bombarded by the artillery, the people who originally just blindly followed the screaming people were temporarily stunned. Then, like a group of driven ducks, they shoved back and forth into the collapsed palace gate.
Thick wool curtains and precious silk fabrics were ripped off, and shiny silverware became the booty of some people, and the carpets and wall hangings with elaborate enamels sold from the lowlands were simply rolled up. Carry away.
For a while, no one knew why he rushed into the palace, and no one went to investigate who was the person who had been burnt into coke on the woodpile. No one even knew how it happened from the beginning. People only know to follow someone else's nonstop running and shouting in the palace, or simply madly vent the terrible impulse of not knowing where it comes from.
The chaos clearly gave many people a chance to make a fortune, but it also gave Alexander their chance to escape. The people who suddenly broke into the palace disrupted the purpose of the attackers. They were caught in the crowd and squeezed in the crowd, although there were a few I personally seem to see someone running out of that living room, but soon more and more Sicilians rushing into the palace drowned them in the mad crowd.
Alexander grabbed Sophia's hand tightly, and he urged Sophia to keep up with herself when she ran out of the room ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He knew what this madness would bring, more than anyone else Understand how terrible destructive power the blind people will lose once they lose their restraint. Even almost two centuries ago, the original Normans were driven out of Sicily by this near-destructive force.
Originally, Alexander wanted to return to the secret road along the original road, but he soon found that the road would not be able to pass, especially when he watched the rushing waves into the palace along the central promenade running through the palace. Crowd, he knew that if he walked back, he might be trampled to death.
"Follow the crowd."
Mrs. Gongxiang's calmness at this time surprised Alexander, but he couldn't think of it, and pulled Sophia down the gate to the other side of the palace. He had already thought that as soon as he left the crowd, he immediately took Sophia away from the other palace gate. As for Osborne's whereabouts, he could no longer care about it.
In fact, there was another reason for him to decide to leave the palace as soon as possible, that is, he really did not expect the French to be so bold, even though it is not known how they instigated the Palermo people, but just think about them in order to Even the cannon dared to pull out this conspiracy. Alexander couldn't help but wonder if he was too underestimated before.
At first thought that it was only a threat to the bishops' group, at most a small conspiracy against a small number of people to attack the palace, but it eventually turned into a catastrophe that caused the Sicilian palace to be killed and the Palermo palace to fall. The Duke of Orleans is not easy.
While the crowd was sparse, Alexander pulled Sophia out of the palace gate.
The moment he rushed out of the palace, he saw a group of people running head-on.
At the forefront, it seems to be the old Gulja who has a big hatred with him!
