Chapter 83 Tiger's Mouth
Chapter 83 Tiger's Mouth
Jincheng is difficult to attack. In addition to the strong defenders, it is also because of the design of the city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so until dawn, you can still hear shouts from outside.
In an alley not far from the North City Gate, several people were already numb from the cold. Shen Qing looked around and saw that there was no place to rest.
"Master, why don't we find a place to rest first?"
"No." Shen Qing frowned slightly: "There is only one chance, if you miss it, you won't be able to get out. Xuanyuanli brought me here, the news must have spread, what do you think the first thing Ji Yun did after entering the city? "
"Block the city gate?"
"Yes, the next thing is to arrest people, and I'm definitely on the list to be arrested." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiaobao who had already fallen asleep, bit his lip slightly, and turned his head, the shout seemed to be more enthusiastic , and the Nanzhao flag erected on the city wall also fell down, and the city gate finally fell under the constant impact.
The gates of the city were wide open, and the defenders of Nanzhao either went up to deliver their heads, or broke up and fled. The soldiers of the Great Wei poured in at once, but fortunately, the people of the Great Wei were also killed and injured. It is already a very small part.
"The west city gate should also be lost..." Di Yun's ears moved, and he heard the distant cheers along with the sound of the wind.
Shen Qing looked at a few people: "Get ready, they just entered the city, and they wouldn't think of sealing the city gate, we have to take advantage of this time to escape!"
"Yes!" Everyone was gearing up, and Shen Qing stared sideways at the city gate, watching the soldiers of the Great Wei stepping in on the corpses of Nanzhao soldiers, watching them jumping and cheering, with a slightly gloomy expression.
The wind was blowing, but the snow in the sky had stopped, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the blood flowed like a river on the ground. The strong smell of blood penetrated into the nostrils of people along with the cold wind, making people sick.Shen Qing stared at the wounded and disabled of only a thousand remaining Great Wei generals and soldiers, helped each other into the city, and went to the west city gate, looking at the city gate opened with corpses, narrowing her eyes slightly Start: "Go!"
As soon as she gave an order, several people quickly went to the city gate.
All the living people in Nanzhao were captured by them and moved forward, only dead bodies remained at the gate of the city.
The few people were still more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, Shen Qing only felt that her legs were frozen as if they were filled with lead, but even so, she had to grit her teeth and run forward.
When several people passed through the city gate, a big Wei soldier suddenly turned around and found them.
"Someone wants to run!" He shouted, and those people turned around immediately, set up their bows and arrows and raised their knives.
There was a barren landscape outside the city gate, but there was a live horse with a broken leg not far away.
After seeing it, Di Yun put Xiaobao into Shen Qing's arms: "Master, run!"
Shen Qing will not be hypocritical at this time, she knows that she is their goal, if she stays, Di Yun will be implicated instead.
She hugged the child and walked towards the horse without looking back. Seeing that it was only a few civilians and a woman was fleeing, the soldiers of Wei didn't take it seriously at all, and started to attack with a hunting attitude.
Di Yun picked up the weapon on the ground and lined up with the other five people to block the gate of the city, but they all knew how it was possible for the five of them to stop these thousands of soldiers.
Shen Qing quickly ran to the horse. Seeing that the horse could still run, she didn't care too much. She took the frightened Xiaobao onto the horse, and looked back at Di Yun and the others lined up to protect her. His eyes were slightly wet, he gritted his teeth, pulled the reins, and ran away quickly.
The cold wind seemed to have turned into a knife at this time, slashing fiercely on her delicate skin, she was about to be dazzled by the wind, and she burst into tears, but she knew she couldn't stop.
When Di Yun heard the sound of the horse's hoofs going further and further away, the stone in his heart finally fell, and a long arrow shot directly at his heart.
Shen Qing ran forward desperately. She didn't know how far she ran, and she didn't know where she was going in the direction in front of her. She only knew that she couldn't stop. Once she stopped, it would be another nightmare.
When Xuanyuanli quietly led people outside Jincheng, it was already dark and Jincheng had already been captured.
"Your Majesty, they have inquired, but they did not catch the concubine. The concubine disappeared the day before." Some people who went to investigate reported back and forth.
Xuanyuanli stood on the snowy ground, looking at the desolation in his eyes, his eyes were cold: "Aren't you in the city?"
The man shook his head: "I don't know, but according to the investigation, I only heard that when the city gate was opened early this morning, a woman with a child escaped."
"Bringing the child?" Xuanyuanli was puzzled, at this time Lu Luo had already escaped, she thought of the old lady's little grandson, she stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it should be the imperial concubine."
Xuanyuanli's face was slightly green, and he stared coldly at the fallen Jincheng, speechless for a while.
A general came forward and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Jincheng is over. If you don't return to Nanzhao quickly, Nanzhao will be in danger."
Xuanyuanli naturally understood, but Qing'er... Did she escape, or was she imprisoned?
"Your majesty has done so much for the concubine, which is something no man in the world dares to do. I believe the concubine empress will understand your intentions." The general added another sentence.
Xuanyuanli still didn't speak, he even regretted why he brought her out in the first place, if it wasn't for Xuanyuanzhao's obstruction...
"Has the queen been in touch?" Xuanyuan Li asked in a cold voice.
"The Empress is now in Mongolia, I believe we can talk with them soon, and let them send troops again." The general showed a bit of joy, but he didn't know his joy, which made Xuanyuanli feel even more angry.Ji Wuyou conspired against others, and then took power into her own hands to intimidate herself. Such a woman is too ambitious and ruthless.
"All of you stay here. A group of people will go to look for the concubine on the way she may be fleeing. A group of people will stay behind and sneak into Jincheng. If there is any news about the concubine, report it immediately." Xuanyuanli said coldly.
"But you left everyone behind, what do you do? What if there is another surprise attack along the way..." The general did not want to go to Shen Qing. Generally speaking, such an enchanting woman would not be a pity to die.
Xuanyuanli's face was heavy: "If I tell you, if you keep her, you can exchange a city with Ji Wuhuan, do you believe it?"
"Really?" The general was shocked, and immediately realized that his little thoughts had been exposed, so he simply broke the jar and said, "Your Majesty, if the noble concubine deceives you like this, even if Nanzhao wins in the future, the people will not tolerate her."
Xuanyuanli's fists were pounding, staring indifferently at the cold and hard Jincheng, and said in a deep voice: "Find her first, and I will trade her for the city. But if you find her and dare to hurt her even a little, I will use it as your own." The crime of murdering the royal family will be punished!"
General Shen didn't dare to speak any more, and waited for Xuanyuanli to get on his horse and leave, then he looked at Luluo: "Are you sure the woman who escaped today is a noble concubine?"
Seeing that his expression was wrong, Luluo hesitated a bit: "Not sure."
"Hmph." The general snorted coldly: "Then you stay in Jincheng, I'll go after the imperial concubine!" After finishing speaking, he immediately got on his horse and left with his men.
Shen Qing only felt that her whole body was frozen, she grasped the rein numbly and moved forward until she finally lost control and fell off the horse.
Xiaobao was protected by her in her arms, but he had a fever and was still sick, and now he was cold and sick again.
Shen Qing looked at the heavy snow blown by the wind, and at the empty wasteland in front of her, her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but she couldn't hold it anymore, and fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Wuhuan was the first to receive the news that Jincheng had been breached, but Yuan Ye reported back that the princess was lost.
"How did you lose it?" Xia Rao asked with a pale face.
Yuan also told what happened that day: "Originally, we followed the prince's order and waited ten miles away for the princess and Di Yun to come out, but we didn't see anyone until it was dark, so we came back to report, and the rest of us I've been looking for it, but I don't know if I can find it."
Yuan Ye just finished speaking, but found that Ji Wuhuan had turned around and took the cloak, put it on and was about to go out, she was startled, and hurried forward: "My lord, where are you going?"
"Go find Qing'er." Ji Wuhuan frowned slightly.
Yuan Ye frowned slightly, and the people from Dayan hurried over when they heard the news: "King Huainan, we are about to send troops, and you are leaving now, do you want to make an enemy of our Dayan?"
Ji Wuhuan cast a cold glance at the person who spoke: "If I want to be your enemy, I should be in Wei's camp now. You don't understand this. What kind of general?"
Yuan Ye's heart skipped a beat, the prince had never scolded anyone so sharply before.
The man's face also turned green when he was scolded: "Ji Wuhuan, don't think that you are great if you have some skills. Do you think you can get out of our [-] elite encirclement by yourself?"
Ji Wuhuan's eyes became even sharper: "You decide whether to deal with me or the Wei army that has already been killed." After finishing speaking, he went straight outside, and no one dared to stop him.
The man was not convinced and wanted to draw his sword, but someone reported that the King of Dongyang County in Nanzhao had already retreated to a city, and the army of the Great Wei was about to occupy that city immediately.
The man gritted his teeth. After all, the city Dayan also wanted to occupy it, so he only shouted at Ji Wuhuan's back: "Then you remember, we are the enemy of our Dayan..."
"Are you stupid? When did our lord say he wanted to be an enemy of Dayan?" Xia Rao lost her good temper.
When the man saw a little girl who dared to scold him, he was even angrier, but Yuan Ye followed suit and said, "The general is thinking about my prince, why don't you hurry up and send troops, it's too late, that city will belong to the Great Wei, when the time comes See if your master doesn't want your head!" After saying that, he went out with Xia Rao.
The man was at a loss for words, but the generals who watched the battle had no objections, and hurriedly led the people to prepare to send troops.
After Ji Wuhuan got out of the camp, he got on the horse directly, but Yuan Ye stepped forward to stop him: "My lord, what about An An?"
"You take it with you." Ji Wuhuan threw down a sentence, and drove away. Xia Rao looked at Yuan Ye and smiled lightly: "Young master likes you very much, so you can take it with you for a while." After saying that, she followed After leaving, leaving behind Yuan Ye's complexion changed, An An's little ancestor, if his father disappeared, he would have to make a fuss and die.
But when he thought that the princess might have escaped, he felt a little more at ease, and hurriedly sent someone back to fetch An'an.
When Shen Qing woke up, the surrounding environment was a bit strange, it was not the simple residential house she imagined, but very gorgeous.
She looked at the surrounding furnishings, high-quality mahogany furniture, and a large carved bed, but the bed curtain was a bit strange, not the usual plain white gauze, but a frivolous pink gauze.There was also a strange smell of incense in the room.
Just when she was wondering, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in a pink wide-sleeved dress came in. She was holding a round fan in her hand, with pictures of ladies painted on it, and Shen Qing was in a state of confusion. After waiting for a while, watching her twisting her waist and slowly approaching, I suddenly knew where it was.
"Qinglou?"
The woman didn't expect her to say these words the first time she opened her mouth, but seeing her pretty face, she walked over with a smile: "You're awake."
"What do you want to do? Where's Xiaobao?" Shen Qing wanted to get up, but when she moved, her legs hurt so badly that she probably injured herself when she fell off the horse.
The woman twisted her waist and approached with a smile: "Don't worry, you are fleeing, right? It's not easy for a woman to bring a child, otherwise she wouldn't faint in the snow and almost freeze to death. what name?"
Shen Qing frowned slightly, and wanted to ask again, then she heard her say again: "Forget it, your good family members don't know how to use their real names when they come to such a place, how about I marry one for you? Look at you, although It is from a poor family, even if the hands are rough, but the face is still very good, how about your honey?"
Shen Qing frowned even tighter. Seeing that she didn't like it, the woman changed it again: "Then Yue'er? Hong'er? Xue'er?"
"Where is Xiaobao?" Shen Qing asked coldly.
The woman was probably frightened by her cold eyes, and paused: "That's all right, your son's name is Bao'er, and you can be called Zhenniang, Zhenbao, how nice." Greeted two women to come in: "I'm so good to serve Zhenniang, and when she recovers, let me know immediately." After that, he twisted the waist of the water snake and went out. When he left, he didn't forget to lock the door.
The two maids seemed to have been immersed in this way for a long time, when they saw Shen Qing, they just smiled and said: "I said girl, our sister Tao saved your life, if you come here, you will never want to go out for the rest of your life. "
"That's right, our Chunhua Building has hired people to watch it inside and out."
"You hired people to watch because you have done a lot of prostitution, are you afraid that people will run away?" Shen Qing sarcastically said.
The faces of the two of them froze, and they opened their mouths without speaking. It seems that Shen Qing's sudden fast speech was actually a fact.
While he was silent, the sound of smashing things suddenly came from the next door. It was quite intense, and after a while, a woman scolded loudly: "You shameless people, dare to touch me. Do you know who I am? I am from Dongyang County today. Daughter of the king, if you go around looking for women from good families to catch them and force them into prostitution, I will burn you one day!"
Shen Qing's eyebrows twitched slightly, Zhang Xiaofang?How did she get caught?
"Who is next door?" Shen Qing asked.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the woman who claimed to be Xiang'er said, "It was 'picked up' by our sister Tao. Now that the war is in chaos, she is a girl from every family. It is not safe to walk outside. Our sister Tao is kind-hearted. brought her back."
Shen Qing understood what they meant, looked at the injuries all over her body, and thought that this sister Tao was in a hurry to do business, and there was no reason to let herself go, so she asked again: "Where is Xiaobao?"
"Xiaobao? The son you brought?" Xiang'er laughed twice: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, Sister Tao will let you see your son, otherwise..."
Shen Qing saw that although they were sarcasm, they were still willing to say something, so she asked a few more questions, as if she was making preparations for staying here for a long time in the future, but she was just investigating the situation here.
After she finished asking, the sound of smashing and smashing next door finally stopped, and only sister Tao yelled angrily: "Hold me? I'll starve you for another three days. When you run out of strength, go out and pick up my guests right away, or I'll be yours!" Just scratch your little face!"
Then, there was no sound.
Shen Qing silently counted in her heart, three days...
Later, a doctor came to see a doctor, but when he saw Shen Qing's face, he was startled and blushed, and then he prescribed medicine with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and left quickly.
Xiang'er was bored, so she took the other to eat melon seeds for a rest, saw the doctor left, so she took the medicine to fry, but Shen Qing said: "You are all tired, go down and have a rest."
The two of them raised their eyebrows slightly and looked at her: "Jenniang, you don't mean to send us away so that we can escape, right? Let me tell you, this is the backyard, and the exit is the entrance of the building that received guests before. If you want to Walking is harder than climbing to the sky."
Shen Qing smiled, and said softly: "It is a gift from heaven that I can save my life. Besides, my son is still here, where can I go?"
The two looked at each other, looked at her injured leg, curled their lips, and left happily.
Hearing the sound of their footsteps going away, Shen Qing got up carefully and walked around the wall behind the bed.The walls here are only made of wood, not thick, but for the sake of sound insulation, a large cabinet is placed on one side.
Shen Qing couldn't move the cabinet, so she had to open the cabinet door, approach the innermost part and knock.
After a long while, there was no response from that side, and Shen Qing kept knocking for a while, and finally there was a sound from that side.
"Who?" Zhang Xiaofang asked vigilantly, fearing that sister Tao had set another trap.
"Princess Fang." Shen Qing said, Zhang Xiaofang's eyes widened immediately: "You...how could you be here!"
"It's a long story, let's find a way to escape first." Shen Qing said.
But Zhang Xiaofang looked very frustrated: "I have thought of countless ways, and I can do some kung fu, but I can't escape at all. The people here seem to be able to do a little kung fu. According to Sister Tao, the guests here are not ordinary. The people are all local officials, even if we leave this building, we will not be able to leave this city."
"Where is this place?" Shen Qing asked again.
"I heard that it is a place called Jingyang, which belongs to the junction of Nanzhao and Wei, but it is still close to Mongolia. I heard that there are many Mongolians who like to come here." Zhang Xiaofang was even more depressed. She was going to find Ji Rui's, who would have thought that it was a bad luck, and was arrested by an old woman, Sister Tao.
Shen Qing knew it well, and was about to continue talking, when she suddenly heard the sound of the door being unlocked outside, she didn't dare to say more: "Wait for me in the middle of the night." After finishing speaking, she immediately came out of the closet.
Xiang'er came in and saw that there was no one on the bed, she was shocked: "Come here..."
"What's wrong?" Shen Qing came out from behind the bed.
Xiang'er took a look at her and saw her limping forward slowly, full of doubts: "What are you doing?"
"Our hometown has a method. If you have this kind of leg injury, you have to move around. You can't lie down all the time, or the recovery will be slow." Shen Qing said calmly.
"Really?" Xiang'er still didn't believe it, threw the decoction in her hand on the table, and followed around the bed to look, but there was nothing, and there was nothing unusual when she opened the cabinet.
Xiang'er turned her head to look at her thin body, and said with a sneer, "Is that why you want to go out to pick up business? Don't make any foolish plans, let me tell you, if you run away, Sister Tao will beat me to death Yes, so don't try to play tricks under my nose."
"If I don't earn money for Sister Tao, how can I see my son?" Shen Qing had a good reason.
Xiang'er frowned, and couldn't find a reason to refute. Looking at the sealed window, she didn't say any more: "Okay, you go and drink the soup, and I will bring you food later."
Shen Qing thanked her softly, then sat at the table and obediently drank the medicine, then went to rest.
Not long after she closed her eyes, she heard voices outside. Although she lowered her voice, she could barely hear it clearly.
"Is it General Yelu from Mongolia?"
"Yes, call for new ones. Now the only ones who stand out are this crazy woman who claims to be the princess and the newly captured Zhenniang. What should I do?"
The man seemed to have paused, and then said: "Don't be afraid, anyway, this crazy woman starved her for three days, and she didn't obey orders? As for Zhenniang, her son is in our hands, and when she recovers from her injuries, we will just let her go." We are at your mercy. Go find some good doctors and heal her injury as soon as possible."
……
Listening to these conversations, Shen Qing raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
It was night, and the wind was getting tighter and tighter, but the Chunhua Tower seemed not to be affected by the war at all, and it was still singing and dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless.The only thing that has changed is that Sister Tao is very busy, and she has to go around in a carriage every day. When she sees a woman who is alone, she will quietly bring her back in a daze. Now, who would look for it with great fanfare?
Because Zhang Xiaofang knew that Shen Qing was there, she felt much more at ease. She was very hungry at night, and after filling a pot of water, she waited obediently until there was another sound from the wall.
"princess!"
"Master Fang, listen to me, a Mongolian general will come over in a few days, and I will ask you to go out then." Shen Qing's mind was spinning rapidly.
"Pick up the guests?" Zhang Xiaofang trembled all over: "No, no, no, even if I die, I can't..."
"Don't worry..." Shen Qing hurriedly said: "This is the fastest way for us to leave, but the premise is that you help me find out the whereabouts of Xiaobao."
"Who is Xiaobao?" Zhang Xiaofang asked puzzled.
"A child of four or five years old." Shen Qing paused: "You don't have to be too deliberate, just ask casually, my injury is recovering very quickly, I will find a way to go out tomorrow, what should you do these few days Anyway, don't annoy them."
"Don't worry." Zhang Xiaofang nodded.
The two reached an agreement, and then went back to sleep.
Shen Qing looked at the large bruise on her left leg, her eyes darkened.
Early the next morning, Xiang'er invited the doctor over again, this doctor was still the young doctor from yesterday, he looked upright, and immediately blushed again when he saw Shen Qing.
Xiang'er couldn't help laughing, but the doctor probably knew her acquaintance, so she didn't have much room, so she took the other to crack sunflower seeds outside, leaving only the two of them in the room.
Seeing this, Shen Qing stepped forward and grabbed the doctor's hand: "Do me a favor."
The doctor looked at her slender white fingers grasping his arm, blushing as if boiling water: "Girl, please tell me."
Shen Qing looked at him, not sure about his relationship with Li, she just said: "I want to get hurt sooner."
"I'll try my best."
"I know that there is a medicine called Nymphony, which is also very effective in treating bruises and redness. I wonder if the doctor can bring me some?" Shen Qing asked.
The doctor paused: "Girl, you can't prescribe medicine randomly..."
"But I want to get well sooner, so that I can see my son sooner." Shen Qing's tone was pitiful, her eyes drooped, and she was half leaning against the bed with a distressed expression.
Seeing this, the doctor gritted his teeth slightly: "I can add some for you..."
Shen Qing smiled: "Then thank you doctor."
The doctor looked at him with joy in her bright eyes, as if an electric current flowed through his whole body, numb.
When Xiang'er came over, he looked at Xiang'er's graceful body under her thin blouse, stood up quickly like an electric shock, and ran away blushing.
Xiang'er covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Boy, I'm still wearing clothes, he can't take it anymore, if I take it off, he won't have a nosebleed?"
After all, he hurriedly took this matter out as a joke, without noticing the smile on Shen Qing's lips.
Not long after, when Xiang'er came in with the medicine bag and was about to cook it, Shen Qing said: "An old doctor in our hometown said that this medicine is best boiled at noon. Sister Xiang'er, wait until you boil it." Bar."
Xiang'er saw that she also wanted to get well sooner, so that she could have a leisurely time, so she put the medicine bag on the table, locked the door and went to find someone to talk to.
Seeing this, Shen Qing got up, walked to the table, looked at the medicine bag, her eyes were slightly bright.
Later, Xiang'er took the medicine and fried it, but she didn't notice any abnormality at all. After Shen Qing finished drinking the medicine, she proposed to go out for a walk.
"The room is too small, and there is only so much space to walk around. Since I decided to stay, I also want to see what it's like here. Don't worry, I won't go to the front door." Shen Qing said with a slight smile.
Xiang'er couldn't understand her more and more. It was clearly a good family. When other good families were arrested, they cried a lot, and even hanged themselves. The one next door who claimed to be the princess also smashed things all day long. She It's good, don't cry or make trouble, obediently drink medicine to recuperate, and even take the initiative to pick up business.
"You didn't have any other ideas, did you?" Xiang'er asked suspiciously.
Sure enough, Shen Qing lowered her eyes slightly: "If you can make money, can you let me meet Xiaobao?"
Xiang'er remembered that her son was still in Sister Tao's hands, so she wasn't afraid anymore, and she just wanted to go around: "I heard that there are a lot of Mongols here today, and they are very stingy, and I was just going to see the excitement. , but I can only take you for a walk in this backyard, but not up front."
"Okay!" Shen Qing said happily.
Xiang'er just turned over her old cloak for her, and then went out.
It was still cold in January, but the snow had stopped, and the melted snow dripped from the eaves, dripping to the ground.
As long as people don't go out of the backyard, there is no need to report to Sister Tao, Xiang'er took her for a walk along the corridors connected in all directions.The yard was tidied up fairly well, and there were a few old women in plain clothes who were tidying up, and the cold wind blew, making them shiver.
Xiang'er looked at those people contemptuously, and said to Shen Qing: "They were all girls here too. After getting old and fading, no one wants them anymore. They can't even marry as concubines for poor people, and they don't have money to redeem themselves. , stay here to work. I will not do this in the future."
"You want to redeem yourself?"
"Redemption?" Xiang'er took out the small mirror that she carried with her and stroked her hair: "I want to marry someone. The people we deal with here are not rich businessmen or officials. Marrying anyone as a concubine is better than redeeming yourself and then marrying someone else." Greetings from ordinary people. Zhenniang, you still have a son, and you need to get more business. With your beauty, you will definitely be admired by wealthy families."
"Really?" Shen Qing smiled slightly, looked at her side face, and said seriously: "If that's the case, I will definitely help you. After all, you are so kind to me, and you are willing to take me out."
Xiang'er paused, and her eyes flashed: "If you are willing to help me, when you are redeemed and married off by someone, you can take me along with you. I think you are honest, and when you go to those big families, you will definitely not know what to do." Do it, if I'm here, we sisters will definitely be able to compete for a place."
The corners of Shen Qing's mouth were raised high: "Then thank you very much."
"You're welcome." After Xiang'er finished speaking, she looked at the only exit of the courtyard, and paused: "I'll go and see your son, and I'll help you. You can't forget me later."
It was her words that Shen Qing was waiting for, and she nodded in agreement, but the valuables on her body had been taken away by these people long ago, so she could only say a few good words.
Xiang'er was very helpful, and left happily, leaving another who didn't talk much to follow.
Shen Qing watched her go out and turn left, and secretly made a note of it.As soon as she left, she walked into the yard, seemingly wandering, but actually observing carefully.
Suddenly, there was a cry from outside the wall, and the girl heard it too, her whole body tensed up, and she closed her mouth tightly and did not speak.
When Shen Qing saw this, the hope that had just risen in her heart also fell. The outside must not be the street she imagined, but a bait that tempts people to turn over.
She turned her head to look at the servant girl, and said, seemingly unintentionally, "Have you been here since you were a child?"
She shook her head, her eyebrows drooping, unwilling to speak.
Shen Qing looked at the people in the yard, one of the women in a brown silk shirt just looked up here, seeing her looking over, she hurriedly lowered her head to pretend to be cleaning.
Shen Qing knew why Xiang'er said before that no one could escape from here, because inside and out, everything was a trap set by Sister Tao, and this group of poor-looking women was just planted in the yard by her. It's no wonder that Xiang'er can lead her out with such peace of mind, and leave by herself with peace of mind.
Shen Qing pretended not to know, went to sit on the porch for a while, and then went back to the room to rest, and only dared to go to the cabinet behind the back bed after everyone had rested.
Zhang Xiaofang had been waiting all day, and when she heard the sound, she hurried over: "Princess, I haven't found Xiaobao's location yet, but I heard from them that there is a dilapidated alley not far from here, and all the people living in it are Those who are driven out from here and are controlled and cannot leave, will Xiaobao be there?"
"It's possible." Shen Qing nodded, but remembering what happened today, she said again: "From tomorrow onwards, don't inquire any more, just wait quietly, two days later is our only chance, when the time comes, listen to me, Don't hesitate!"
"it is good!"
(End of this chapter)
Jincheng is difficult to attack. In addition to the strong defenders, it is also because of the design of the city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so until dawn, you can still hear shouts from outside.
In an alley not far from the North City Gate, several people were already numb from the cold. Shen Qing looked around and saw that there was no place to rest.
"Master, why don't we find a place to rest first?"
"No." Shen Qing frowned slightly: "There is only one chance, if you miss it, you won't be able to get out. Xuanyuanli brought me here, the news must have spread, what do you think the first thing Ji Yun did after entering the city? "
"Block the city gate?"
"Yes, the next thing is to arrest people, and I'm definitely on the list to be arrested." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiaobao who had already fallen asleep, bit his lip slightly, and turned his head, the shout seemed to be more enthusiastic , and the Nanzhao flag erected on the city wall also fell down, and the city gate finally fell under the constant impact.
The gates of the city were wide open, and the defenders of Nanzhao either went up to deliver their heads, or broke up and fled. The soldiers of the Great Wei poured in at once, but fortunately, the people of the Great Wei were also killed and injured. It is already a very small part.
"The west city gate should also be lost..." Di Yun's ears moved, and he heard the distant cheers along with the sound of the wind.
Shen Qing looked at a few people: "Get ready, they just entered the city, and they wouldn't think of sealing the city gate, we have to take advantage of this time to escape!"
"Yes!" Everyone was gearing up, and Shen Qing stared sideways at the city gate, watching the soldiers of the Great Wei stepping in on the corpses of Nanzhao soldiers, watching them jumping and cheering, with a slightly gloomy expression.
The wind was blowing, but the snow in the sky had stopped, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the blood flowed like a river on the ground. The strong smell of blood penetrated into the nostrils of people along with the cold wind, making people sick.Shen Qing stared at the wounded and disabled of only a thousand remaining Great Wei generals and soldiers, helped each other into the city, and went to the west city gate, looking at the city gate opened with corpses, narrowing her eyes slightly Start: "Go!"
As soon as she gave an order, several people quickly went to the city gate.
All the living people in Nanzhao were captured by them and moved forward, only dead bodies remained at the gate of the city.
The few people were still more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, Shen Qing only felt that her legs were frozen as if they were filled with lead, but even so, she had to grit her teeth and run forward.
When several people passed through the city gate, a big Wei soldier suddenly turned around and found them.
"Someone wants to run!" He shouted, and those people turned around immediately, set up their bows and arrows and raised their knives.
There was a barren landscape outside the city gate, but there was a live horse with a broken leg not far away.
After seeing it, Di Yun put Xiaobao into Shen Qing's arms: "Master, run!"
Shen Qing will not be hypocritical at this time, she knows that she is their goal, if she stays, Di Yun will be implicated instead.
She hugged the child and walked towards the horse without looking back. Seeing that it was only a few civilians and a woman was fleeing, the soldiers of Wei didn't take it seriously at all, and started to attack with a hunting attitude.
Di Yun picked up the weapon on the ground and lined up with the other five people to block the gate of the city, but they all knew how it was possible for the five of them to stop these thousands of soldiers.
Shen Qing quickly ran to the horse. Seeing that the horse could still run, she didn't care too much. She took the frightened Xiaobao onto the horse, and looked back at Di Yun and the others lined up to protect her. His eyes were slightly wet, he gritted his teeth, pulled the reins, and ran away quickly.
The cold wind seemed to have turned into a knife at this time, slashing fiercely on her delicate skin, she was about to be dazzled by the wind, and she burst into tears, but she knew she couldn't stop.
When Di Yun heard the sound of the horse's hoofs going further and further away, the stone in his heart finally fell, and a long arrow shot directly at his heart.
Shen Qing ran forward desperately. She didn't know how far she ran, and she didn't know where she was going in the direction in front of her. She only knew that she couldn't stop. Once she stopped, it would be another nightmare.
When Xuanyuanli quietly led people outside Jincheng, it was already dark and Jincheng had already been captured.
"Your Majesty, they have inquired, but they did not catch the concubine. The concubine disappeared the day before." Some people who went to investigate reported back and forth.
Xuanyuanli stood on the snowy ground, looking at the desolation in his eyes, his eyes were cold: "Aren't you in the city?"
The man shook his head: "I don't know, but according to the investigation, I only heard that when the city gate was opened early this morning, a woman with a child escaped."
"Bringing the child?" Xuanyuanli was puzzled, at this time Lu Luo had already escaped, she thought of the old lady's little grandson, she stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it should be the imperial concubine."
Xuanyuanli's face was slightly green, and he stared coldly at the fallen Jincheng, speechless for a while.
A general came forward and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Jincheng is over. If you don't return to Nanzhao quickly, Nanzhao will be in danger."
Xuanyuanli naturally understood, but Qing'er... Did she escape, or was she imprisoned?
"Your majesty has done so much for the concubine, which is something no man in the world dares to do. I believe the concubine empress will understand your intentions." The general added another sentence.
Xuanyuanli still didn't speak, he even regretted why he brought her out in the first place, if it wasn't for Xuanyuanzhao's obstruction...
"Has the queen been in touch?" Xuanyuan Li asked in a cold voice.
"The Empress is now in Mongolia, I believe we can talk with them soon, and let them send troops again." The general showed a bit of joy, but he didn't know his joy, which made Xuanyuanli feel even more angry.Ji Wuyou conspired against others, and then took power into her own hands to intimidate herself. Such a woman is too ambitious and ruthless.
"All of you stay here. A group of people will go to look for the concubine on the way she may be fleeing. A group of people will stay behind and sneak into Jincheng. If there is any news about the concubine, report it immediately." Xuanyuanli said coldly.
"But you left everyone behind, what do you do? What if there is another surprise attack along the way..." The general did not want to go to Shen Qing. Generally speaking, such an enchanting woman would not be a pity to die.
Xuanyuanli's face was heavy: "If I tell you, if you keep her, you can exchange a city with Ji Wuhuan, do you believe it?"
"Really?" The general was shocked, and immediately realized that his little thoughts had been exposed, so he simply broke the jar and said, "Your Majesty, if the noble concubine deceives you like this, even if Nanzhao wins in the future, the people will not tolerate her."
Xuanyuanli's fists were pounding, staring indifferently at the cold and hard Jincheng, and said in a deep voice: "Find her first, and I will trade her for the city. But if you find her and dare to hurt her even a little, I will use it as your own." The crime of murdering the royal family will be punished!"
General Shen didn't dare to speak any more, and waited for Xuanyuanli to get on his horse and leave, then he looked at Luluo: "Are you sure the woman who escaped today is a noble concubine?"
Seeing that his expression was wrong, Luluo hesitated a bit: "Not sure."
"Hmph." The general snorted coldly: "Then you stay in Jincheng, I'll go after the imperial concubine!" After finishing speaking, he immediately got on his horse and left with his men.
Shen Qing only felt that her whole body was frozen, she grasped the rein numbly and moved forward until she finally lost control and fell off the horse.
Xiaobao was protected by her in her arms, but he had a fever and was still sick, and now he was cold and sick again.
Shen Qing looked at the heavy snow blown by the wind, and at the empty wasteland in front of her, her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but she couldn't hold it anymore, and fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Wuhuan was the first to receive the news that Jincheng had been breached, but Yuan Ye reported back that the princess was lost.
"How did you lose it?" Xia Rao asked with a pale face.
Yuan also told what happened that day: "Originally, we followed the prince's order and waited ten miles away for the princess and Di Yun to come out, but we didn't see anyone until it was dark, so we came back to report, and the rest of us I've been looking for it, but I don't know if I can find it."
Yuan Ye just finished speaking, but found that Ji Wuhuan had turned around and took the cloak, put it on and was about to go out, she was startled, and hurried forward: "My lord, where are you going?"
"Go find Qing'er." Ji Wuhuan frowned slightly.
Yuan Ye frowned slightly, and the people from Dayan hurried over when they heard the news: "King Huainan, we are about to send troops, and you are leaving now, do you want to make an enemy of our Dayan?"
Ji Wuhuan cast a cold glance at the person who spoke: "If I want to be your enemy, I should be in Wei's camp now. You don't understand this. What kind of general?"
Yuan Ye's heart skipped a beat, the prince had never scolded anyone so sharply before.
The man's face also turned green when he was scolded: "Ji Wuhuan, don't think that you are great if you have some skills. Do you think you can get out of our [-] elite encirclement by yourself?"
Ji Wuhuan's eyes became even sharper: "You decide whether to deal with me or the Wei army that has already been killed." After finishing speaking, he went straight outside, and no one dared to stop him.
The man was not convinced and wanted to draw his sword, but someone reported that the King of Dongyang County in Nanzhao had already retreated to a city, and the army of the Great Wei was about to occupy that city immediately.
The man gritted his teeth. After all, the city Dayan also wanted to occupy it, so he only shouted at Ji Wuhuan's back: "Then you remember, we are the enemy of our Dayan..."
"Are you stupid? When did our lord say he wanted to be an enemy of Dayan?" Xia Rao lost her good temper.
When the man saw a little girl who dared to scold him, he was even angrier, but Yuan Ye followed suit and said, "The general is thinking about my prince, why don't you hurry up and send troops, it's too late, that city will belong to the Great Wei, when the time comes See if your master doesn't want your head!" After saying that, he went out with Xia Rao.
The man was at a loss for words, but the generals who watched the battle had no objections, and hurriedly led the people to prepare to send troops.
After Ji Wuhuan got out of the camp, he got on the horse directly, but Yuan Ye stepped forward to stop him: "My lord, what about An An?"
"You take it with you." Ji Wuhuan threw down a sentence, and drove away. Xia Rao looked at Yuan Ye and smiled lightly: "Young master likes you very much, so you can take it with you for a while." After saying that, she followed After leaving, leaving behind Yuan Ye's complexion changed, An An's little ancestor, if his father disappeared, he would have to make a fuss and die.
But when he thought that the princess might have escaped, he felt a little more at ease, and hurriedly sent someone back to fetch An'an.
When Shen Qing woke up, the surrounding environment was a bit strange, it was not the simple residential house she imagined, but very gorgeous.
She looked at the surrounding furnishings, high-quality mahogany furniture, and a large carved bed, but the bed curtain was a bit strange, not the usual plain white gauze, but a frivolous pink gauze.There was also a strange smell of incense in the room.
Just when she was wondering, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in a pink wide-sleeved dress came in. She was holding a round fan in her hand, with pictures of ladies painted on it, and Shen Qing was in a state of confusion. After waiting for a while, watching her twisting her waist and slowly approaching, I suddenly knew where it was.
"Qinglou?"
The woman didn't expect her to say these words the first time she opened her mouth, but seeing her pretty face, she walked over with a smile: "You're awake."
"What do you want to do? Where's Xiaobao?" Shen Qing wanted to get up, but when she moved, her legs hurt so badly that she probably injured herself when she fell off the horse.
The woman twisted her waist and approached with a smile: "Don't worry, you are fleeing, right? It's not easy for a woman to bring a child, otherwise she wouldn't faint in the snow and almost freeze to death. what name?"
Shen Qing frowned slightly, and wanted to ask again, then she heard her say again: "Forget it, your good family members don't know how to use their real names when they come to such a place, how about I marry one for you? Look at you, although It is from a poor family, even if the hands are rough, but the face is still very good, how about your honey?"
Shen Qing frowned even tighter. Seeing that she didn't like it, the woman changed it again: "Then Yue'er? Hong'er? Xue'er?"
"Where is Xiaobao?" Shen Qing asked coldly.
The woman was probably frightened by her cold eyes, and paused: "That's all right, your son's name is Bao'er, and you can be called Zhenniang, Zhenbao, how nice." Greeted two women to come in: "I'm so good to serve Zhenniang, and when she recovers, let me know immediately." After that, he twisted the waist of the water snake and went out. When he left, he didn't forget to lock the door.
The two maids seemed to have been immersed in this way for a long time, when they saw Shen Qing, they just smiled and said: "I said girl, our sister Tao saved your life, if you come here, you will never want to go out for the rest of your life. "
"That's right, our Chunhua Building has hired people to watch it inside and out."
"You hired people to watch because you have done a lot of prostitution, are you afraid that people will run away?" Shen Qing sarcastically said.
The faces of the two of them froze, and they opened their mouths without speaking. It seems that Shen Qing's sudden fast speech was actually a fact.
While he was silent, the sound of smashing things suddenly came from the next door. It was quite intense, and after a while, a woman scolded loudly: "You shameless people, dare to touch me. Do you know who I am? I am from Dongyang County today. Daughter of the king, if you go around looking for women from good families to catch them and force them into prostitution, I will burn you one day!"
Shen Qing's eyebrows twitched slightly, Zhang Xiaofang?How did she get caught?
"Who is next door?" Shen Qing asked.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the woman who claimed to be Xiang'er said, "It was 'picked up' by our sister Tao. Now that the war is in chaos, she is a girl from every family. It is not safe to walk outside. Our sister Tao is kind-hearted. brought her back."
Shen Qing understood what they meant, looked at the injuries all over her body, and thought that this sister Tao was in a hurry to do business, and there was no reason to let herself go, so she asked again: "Where is Xiaobao?"
"Xiaobao? The son you brought?" Xiang'er laughed twice: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, Sister Tao will let you see your son, otherwise..."
Shen Qing saw that although they were sarcasm, they were still willing to say something, so she asked a few more questions, as if she was making preparations for staying here for a long time in the future, but she was just investigating the situation here.
After she finished asking, the sound of smashing and smashing next door finally stopped, and only sister Tao yelled angrily: "Hold me? I'll starve you for another three days. When you run out of strength, go out and pick up my guests right away, or I'll be yours!" Just scratch your little face!"
Then, there was no sound.
Shen Qing silently counted in her heart, three days...
Later, a doctor came to see a doctor, but when he saw Shen Qing's face, he was startled and blushed, and then he prescribed medicine with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and left quickly.
Xiang'er was bored, so she took the other to eat melon seeds for a rest, saw the doctor left, so she took the medicine to fry, but Shen Qing said: "You are all tired, go down and have a rest."
The two of them raised their eyebrows slightly and looked at her: "Jenniang, you don't mean to send us away so that we can escape, right? Let me tell you, this is the backyard, and the exit is the entrance of the building that received guests before. If you want to Walking is harder than climbing to the sky."
Shen Qing smiled, and said softly: "It is a gift from heaven that I can save my life. Besides, my son is still here, where can I go?"
The two looked at each other, looked at her injured leg, curled their lips, and left happily.
Hearing the sound of their footsteps going away, Shen Qing got up carefully and walked around the wall behind the bed.The walls here are only made of wood, not thick, but for the sake of sound insulation, a large cabinet is placed on one side.
Shen Qing couldn't move the cabinet, so she had to open the cabinet door, approach the innermost part and knock.
After a long while, there was no response from that side, and Shen Qing kept knocking for a while, and finally there was a sound from that side.
"Who?" Zhang Xiaofang asked vigilantly, fearing that sister Tao had set another trap.
"Princess Fang." Shen Qing said, Zhang Xiaofang's eyes widened immediately: "You...how could you be here!"
"It's a long story, let's find a way to escape first." Shen Qing said.
But Zhang Xiaofang looked very frustrated: "I have thought of countless ways, and I can do some kung fu, but I can't escape at all. The people here seem to be able to do a little kung fu. According to Sister Tao, the guests here are not ordinary. The people are all local officials, even if we leave this building, we will not be able to leave this city."
"Where is this place?" Shen Qing asked again.
"I heard that it is a place called Jingyang, which belongs to the junction of Nanzhao and Wei, but it is still close to Mongolia. I heard that there are many Mongolians who like to come here." Zhang Xiaofang was even more depressed. She was going to find Ji Rui's, who would have thought that it was a bad luck, and was arrested by an old woman, Sister Tao.
Shen Qing knew it well, and was about to continue talking, when she suddenly heard the sound of the door being unlocked outside, she didn't dare to say more: "Wait for me in the middle of the night." After finishing speaking, she immediately came out of the closet.
Xiang'er came in and saw that there was no one on the bed, she was shocked: "Come here..."
"What's wrong?" Shen Qing came out from behind the bed.
Xiang'er took a look at her and saw her limping forward slowly, full of doubts: "What are you doing?"
"Our hometown has a method. If you have this kind of leg injury, you have to move around. You can't lie down all the time, or the recovery will be slow." Shen Qing said calmly.
"Really?" Xiang'er still didn't believe it, threw the decoction in her hand on the table, and followed around the bed to look, but there was nothing, and there was nothing unusual when she opened the cabinet.
Xiang'er turned her head to look at her thin body, and said with a sneer, "Is that why you want to go out to pick up business? Don't make any foolish plans, let me tell you, if you run away, Sister Tao will beat me to death Yes, so don't try to play tricks under my nose."
"If I don't earn money for Sister Tao, how can I see my son?" Shen Qing had a good reason.
Xiang'er frowned, and couldn't find a reason to refute. Looking at the sealed window, she didn't say any more: "Okay, you go and drink the soup, and I will bring you food later."
Shen Qing thanked her softly, then sat at the table and obediently drank the medicine, then went to rest.
Not long after she closed her eyes, she heard voices outside. Although she lowered her voice, she could barely hear it clearly.
"Is it General Yelu from Mongolia?"
"Yes, call for new ones. Now the only ones who stand out are this crazy woman who claims to be the princess and the newly captured Zhenniang. What should I do?"
The man seemed to have paused, and then said: "Don't be afraid, anyway, this crazy woman starved her for three days, and she didn't obey orders? As for Zhenniang, her son is in our hands, and when she recovers from her injuries, we will just let her go." We are at your mercy. Go find some good doctors and heal her injury as soon as possible."
……
Listening to these conversations, Shen Qing raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
It was night, and the wind was getting tighter and tighter, but the Chunhua Tower seemed not to be affected by the war at all, and it was still singing and dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless.The only thing that has changed is that Sister Tao is very busy, and she has to go around in a carriage every day. When she sees a woman who is alone, she will quietly bring her back in a daze. Now, who would look for it with great fanfare?
Because Zhang Xiaofang knew that Shen Qing was there, she felt much more at ease. She was very hungry at night, and after filling a pot of water, she waited obediently until there was another sound from the wall.
"princess!"
"Master Fang, listen to me, a Mongolian general will come over in a few days, and I will ask you to go out then." Shen Qing's mind was spinning rapidly.
"Pick up the guests?" Zhang Xiaofang trembled all over: "No, no, no, even if I die, I can't..."
"Don't worry..." Shen Qing hurriedly said: "This is the fastest way for us to leave, but the premise is that you help me find out the whereabouts of Xiaobao."
"Who is Xiaobao?" Zhang Xiaofang asked puzzled.
"A child of four or five years old." Shen Qing paused: "You don't have to be too deliberate, just ask casually, my injury is recovering very quickly, I will find a way to go out tomorrow, what should you do these few days Anyway, don't annoy them."
"Don't worry." Zhang Xiaofang nodded.
The two reached an agreement, and then went back to sleep.
Shen Qing looked at the large bruise on her left leg, her eyes darkened.
Early the next morning, Xiang'er invited the doctor over again, this doctor was still the young doctor from yesterday, he looked upright, and immediately blushed again when he saw Shen Qing.
Xiang'er couldn't help laughing, but the doctor probably knew her acquaintance, so she didn't have much room, so she took the other to crack sunflower seeds outside, leaving only the two of them in the room.
Seeing this, Shen Qing stepped forward and grabbed the doctor's hand: "Do me a favor."
The doctor looked at her slender white fingers grasping his arm, blushing as if boiling water: "Girl, please tell me."
Shen Qing looked at him, not sure about his relationship with Li, she just said: "I want to get hurt sooner."
"I'll try my best."
"I know that there is a medicine called Nymphony, which is also very effective in treating bruises and redness. I wonder if the doctor can bring me some?" Shen Qing asked.
The doctor paused: "Girl, you can't prescribe medicine randomly..."
"But I want to get well sooner, so that I can see my son sooner." Shen Qing's tone was pitiful, her eyes drooped, and she was half leaning against the bed with a distressed expression.
Seeing this, the doctor gritted his teeth slightly: "I can add some for you..."
Shen Qing smiled: "Then thank you doctor."
The doctor looked at him with joy in her bright eyes, as if an electric current flowed through his whole body, numb.
When Xiang'er came over, he looked at Xiang'er's graceful body under her thin blouse, stood up quickly like an electric shock, and ran away blushing.
Xiang'er covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Boy, I'm still wearing clothes, he can't take it anymore, if I take it off, he won't have a nosebleed?"
After all, he hurriedly took this matter out as a joke, without noticing the smile on Shen Qing's lips.
Not long after, when Xiang'er came in with the medicine bag and was about to cook it, Shen Qing said: "An old doctor in our hometown said that this medicine is best boiled at noon. Sister Xiang'er, wait until you boil it." Bar."
Xiang'er saw that she also wanted to get well sooner, so that she could have a leisurely time, so she put the medicine bag on the table, locked the door and went to find someone to talk to.
Seeing this, Shen Qing got up, walked to the table, looked at the medicine bag, her eyes were slightly bright.
Later, Xiang'er took the medicine and fried it, but she didn't notice any abnormality at all. After Shen Qing finished drinking the medicine, she proposed to go out for a walk.
"The room is too small, and there is only so much space to walk around. Since I decided to stay, I also want to see what it's like here. Don't worry, I won't go to the front door." Shen Qing said with a slight smile.
Xiang'er couldn't understand her more and more. It was clearly a good family. When other good families were arrested, they cried a lot, and even hanged themselves. The one next door who claimed to be the princess also smashed things all day long. She It's good, don't cry or make trouble, obediently drink medicine to recuperate, and even take the initiative to pick up business.
"You didn't have any other ideas, did you?" Xiang'er asked suspiciously.
Sure enough, Shen Qing lowered her eyes slightly: "If you can make money, can you let me meet Xiaobao?"
Xiang'er remembered that her son was still in Sister Tao's hands, so she wasn't afraid anymore, and she just wanted to go around: "I heard that there are a lot of Mongols here today, and they are very stingy, and I was just going to see the excitement. , but I can only take you for a walk in this backyard, but not up front."
"Okay!" Shen Qing said happily.
Xiang'er just turned over her old cloak for her, and then went out.
It was still cold in January, but the snow had stopped, and the melted snow dripped from the eaves, dripping to the ground.
As long as people don't go out of the backyard, there is no need to report to Sister Tao, Xiang'er took her for a walk along the corridors connected in all directions.The yard was tidied up fairly well, and there were a few old women in plain clothes who were tidying up, and the cold wind blew, making them shiver.
Xiang'er looked at those people contemptuously, and said to Shen Qing: "They were all girls here too. After getting old and fading, no one wants them anymore. They can't even marry as concubines for poor people, and they don't have money to redeem themselves. , stay here to work. I will not do this in the future."
"You want to redeem yourself?"
"Redemption?" Xiang'er took out the small mirror that she carried with her and stroked her hair: "I want to marry someone. The people we deal with here are not rich businessmen or officials. Marrying anyone as a concubine is better than redeeming yourself and then marrying someone else." Greetings from ordinary people. Zhenniang, you still have a son, and you need to get more business. With your beauty, you will definitely be admired by wealthy families."
"Really?" Shen Qing smiled slightly, looked at her side face, and said seriously: "If that's the case, I will definitely help you. After all, you are so kind to me, and you are willing to take me out."
Xiang'er paused, and her eyes flashed: "If you are willing to help me, when you are redeemed and married off by someone, you can take me along with you. I think you are honest, and when you go to those big families, you will definitely not know what to do." Do it, if I'm here, we sisters will definitely be able to compete for a place."
The corners of Shen Qing's mouth were raised high: "Then thank you very much."
"You're welcome." After Xiang'er finished speaking, she looked at the only exit of the courtyard, and paused: "I'll go and see your son, and I'll help you. You can't forget me later."
It was her words that Shen Qing was waiting for, and she nodded in agreement, but the valuables on her body had been taken away by these people long ago, so she could only say a few good words.
Xiang'er was very helpful, and left happily, leaving another who didn't talk much to follow.
Shen Qing watched her go out and turn left, and secretly made a note of it.As soon as she left, she walked into the yard, seemingly wandering, but actually observing carefully.
Suddenly, there was a cry from outside the wall, and the girl heard it too, her whole body tensed up, and she closed her mouth tightly and did not speak.
When Shen Qing saw this, the hope that had just risen in her heart also fell. The outside must not be the street she imagined, but a bait that tempts people to turn over.
She turned her head to look at the servant girl, and said, seemingly unintentionally, "Have you been here since you were a child?"
She shook her head, her eyebrows drooping, unwilling to speak.
Shen Qing looked at the people in the yard, one of the women in a brown silk shirt just looked up here, seeing her looking over, she hurriedly lowered her head to pretend to be cleaning.
Shen Qing knew why Xiang'er said before that no one could escape from here, because inside and out, everything was a trap set by Sister Tao, and this group of poor-looking women was just planted in the yard by her. It's no wonder that Xiang'er can lead her out with such peace of mind, and leave by herself with peace of mind.
Shen Qing pretended not to know, went to sit on the porch for a while, and then went back to the room to rest, and only dared to go to the cabinet behind the back bed after everyone had rested.
Zhang Xiaofang had been waiting all day, and when she heard the sound, she hurried over: "Princess, I haven't found Xiaobao's location yet, but I heard from them that there is a dilapidated alley not far from here, and all the people living in it are Those who are driven out from here and are controlled and cannot leave, will Xiaobao be there?"
"It's possible." Shen Qing nodded, but remembering what happened today, she said again: "From tomorrow onwards, don't inquire any more, just wait quietly, two days later is our only chance, when the time comes, listen to me, Don't hesitate!"
"it is good!"
