From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 288
Knowing that Shangguan Xinrou is powerless, Yan Hong believes that she cannot escape from her grasp.Therefore, he simply put away his sword and sat on a dilapidated ponytail to wait.

Although she was indeed quite old, Shangguan Xinrou didn't want to die.On the contrary, she has not seen her son who was taken away by King Huai of Chu at birth, so she is willing to die like this.

If you don't want to die, you have to run away, if you can't beat it, you can only outsmart it.No longer talking as fast as before, she obediently walked down the kitchen corridor.Seeing that there was a ball of hemp rope there, she knelt down to get it.

Accidentally seeing Lao Liu who had just been beaten into the air, she trembled in fright.Old Liu stretched out his index finger to his lips to signal her to keep silent, and then pointed to his body.

Standing up slowly and looking there, she saw a hole, and she immediately understood what it meant.

Pulling off the hemp rope and pretending to be calm, she walked to the entrance of the cave and stood still. Shangguan Xinrou said, "Where are you going to take my daughter, and if I die, will the prince really be released safely?" ?”

In order to prevent Yan Hong from coming over suddenly, Shangguan Xinrou stood on the stool after finishing speaking, then stood on tiptoe and threw the hemp rope in her hand to the horizontal post under the corridor.

Seeing her honestly preparing to hang herself, Yanhong said in a particularly good mood: "Naturally, the prince told the empress dowager that you seduced him, and you are the culprit. Naturally, the prince will have nothing to do with you if you die. As for your daughter Let’s take it back to the brothel first. It’s safe there. It’s dark under the lights, so it’s hard to be found. Don’t worry, even though the prince has many sons and daughters, he can’t treat her badly. In Prince Huai's residence, it depends on what the prince has to say."

"Actually, let me tell you what's good in the palace. I'm so annoyed by a lot of broken rules. You might as well follow me. Although the prostitutes are low-ranking and you can't get on the table, you can live freely. What's more, with your daughter You might become an oiran if you hold it with such beauty. Oiran, how many princes in the capital are holding it with silver coins, coaxing it, and walking around. You can just watch the music in the ground."

The appearance of the oiran is important, but it is only one of them, and the others can be adjusted.Taking advantage of his young age, Cheng Sichu used to be a lady of the family, so it should be enough to train him for two or three years.

Shangguan Xinrou is not stupid, as soon as she heard this, she knew that she was deliberately angry with herself.No matter how many concubines of King Huai of Chu, it is impossible to send them to the Chu Pavilion in Qinlou, let alone Huakui.If this was known and spread, the Empress Dowager would not have skinned him.

He smiled coldly and remained silent. Seeing that Lao Liu had already slid down the hole, Shangguan Xinrou jumped into the hole with his legs lifted.

Old Liu had been prepared for a long time. As soon as she jumped down, he quickly sealed the hole with an iron plate, and then dragged her away without saying a word.

Shangguan Xinrou behaved himself this time, and ran along with him without making a fuss or making a sound.I don't know how long I ran, and I don't know how many detours, but when she was about to suffocate, Lao Liu finally stopped.

At another fork in the road, Lao Liu panted and said: "Yan Hong only knows that this road leads to Prince Liang's mansion, but she doesn't know that it can lead to the prince's private house in Beicheng. You can go straight along this road. , don't look back, let alone stay. There are only two servants living in the private house, and they sweep the courtyard and trim flowers and plants on weekdays. This is the token of the palace. If you show them, they will naturally keep quiet. There is a dark room under the study of the private house. The compartment is the same as the secret compartment in your room. There are bank notes and scattered silver in it, so you should leave immediately after dawn."

Having known each other for many years, he couldn't bear it, and now he didn't know what King Huai of Chu meant, so he could only help her here.

She was stunned for a moment, and Shangguan Xinrou's eyes turned red instantly.This secret passage was dug during their first tryst, all the way to the bottom of her bed.She has forgotten how many years it has been useless.Unexpectedly, it was not in the Chu Huai Palace but in Lao Liu's house.

Thinking about it, she was really too bold these years, relying on Mei Zhannan in Liangzhou, she had frequent trysts with him without any scruple.And he thought it was troublesome to go through the secret passage, so he directly opened the corner door in the backyard for him.She didn't have the slightest scruples, she didn't pay attention to anyone in Prince Liang's mansion at all, even she was never afraid of being known or seen before.

Panting evenly, she reached out to take the token from Prince Chu Huai's Mansion, Shangguan Xinrou asked in disbelief, "What do you mean by these words, does he really ignore me?"

Even if you don't want to believe it, the truth is still in front of you.Yan Hong is his capable general, if she dared to kill her, she wouldn't believe that she didn't have a little bit of his instigation.

Old Liu didn't know how to answer, so he sighed deeply and said, "Ever since the prince was taken into prison, even the princess has never seen her, let alone Yan Hong. Don't worry, madam, and go to the civilian area first after taking the money." Hide and hide. Yanhong is a smart person, she will definitely block you on the way out of the city. So, don't go out of the city, go to Minmin Lane to hide first."

As a well-known oiran in the capital, Yan Hong looks down on people like Shangguan Xinrou very much.Being a whore and setting up a memorial archway again makes people disgusted.Therefore, Lao Liu knew that she really wanted to kill her, and he didn't just talk about it to scare her.

Seeing that Lao Liu's eyes were as usual and he didn't seem to be telling lies, Shangguan Xinrou felt relieved.He took out a jade pendant around his neck and handed it to him, saying: "If the prince comes out, you can give this to him. In addition, take care of Sichu for me. She is young and ignorant and has never suffered. I am afraid that she will bear it." Can't live."

Old Liu understood, then took the jade pendant and put it in his arms and said: "Madam, don't worry, even if Yanhong has a hundred courage, she would not dare to let Miss be the oiran. However, the brothel is the safest place in the current situation. Madam also knows that Mei Shao The general will definitely not let it go, she will definitely go to the government to ask someone."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced behind, and Lao Liu said again: "The iron plate can only resist for a while, and Yan Hong will catch up soon. Ma'am, don't delay any longer. I will seal this secret passage when Ma'am is gone. Ma'am will not go out until dawn." Bar."

Gyeonggi Guard patrols more frequently at night than during the day, and there will be a curfew at night, and you will be questioned if you go out rashly.In order to prevent further accidents, it is better to leave after dawn when there are many people, which is not eye-catching.

After brushing her loose hair, Shangguan Xinrou left.Perhaps because she was afraid of being overtaken by Yan Hong again, she ran all the way to her private house in the north of the city with all her might.

In the private house, as Lao Liu said, there were only two servants living there, and it was quiet, apparently they had already rested.Her stomach was empty and she was very hungry, but she didn't dare to look for food, for fear of being discovered, she hid secretly in the study.

The layout of the study was very familiar, and after finding the secret compartment that Old Liu mentioned, she took out all the bank notes and broken silver.Seeing that there were dozens of gold leaves in a small box, she took them away.

I don't know how long I will hide in the future, and I can't do it without money.So, after slipping out of the study, she went into the main yard, found a needle and thread, and sewed the gold leaves into her inner garment one by one.

At both ends of the story, Yan Hong, who saw Shangguan Xinrou disappeared, followed the secret passage to find Prince Liang's Mansion.In a hurry to deal with her, she quietly looked for someone in the room after lifting the bed board.

Knowing that Shangguan Xinrou would never dare to run out, she searched very carefully.It's just that she never thought that there was someone guarding the room, and she was watching her intently at the moment.
