Chapter 6: Falling into the Hands of the Adversary
It is said that Jing Ning hid behind the big water tank, but this time he hid motionless, very obedient. It's just that after a long time, it is inevitable that the legs and feet will be sore, and the whole body will be weak, and after the worst time, it will not be able to support it at all.
The fire outside was still burning, the smell of burning was getting stronger and stronger, and the mournful cries for help and sorrow were coming and going, and the soldiers who led the team to search for Princess Jingyi were still in full swing to carry out the orders issued from above.
This palace, which was Jing Ning's favorite in the past, suddenly became a hell on earth, but her heart was still full of expectations: as long as the soldiers of the search team did not completely withdraw from Lu, then it meant that the sister may still be alive, the imperial brother may also be alive, and the father and mother may be ......
Thinking of this, Jing Ning couldn't help biting her lower lip, and her unrequited cry was accompanied by irrepressible tears leaking out from between her lips and teeth. In order not to be discovered by the enemy, Jing Ning had already found out and folded his hands and covered his mouth stiffly, until the sadness was suppressed to the point that his entire chest became painful.
However, just when Jing Ning was the most serious, the inner urgency that was so good to die came to the door, but fortunately, it was really urgent enough to die, and the more Jing Ning hinted in his heart that he was "holding back, holding back", the more he found that he couldn't help it.
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight! Jing Ning scolded why she was so unproductive, but in front of the "big enemy", she still decided to escape and find a thatched house to solve the problem first.
Crawling through the dog hole, Jing Ning remembered that there was a thatched house in the bedroom of Concubine Yu Niangniang, who was closest to her.
However, before he could raise his head, a touch of coldness rested on his neck, and he didn't have to look back, Jing Ning also knew that it was a terrible thing to rest on his neck. It's just that, compared to it, there are more deadly things that need to be solved urgently.
I said, "Fellow guards, can you not be so timely?" Wait until I'm done!
"Raise your head!" An angry shout sounded above his head, and Jing Ning subconsciously raised his head.
In front of him, a tall guard leader held a transparent dragon jade pendant decorated with red silk in his hand and handed it to Jing Ning, and asked expressionlessly, "Do you recognize this jade pendant?" β
When Jing Ning saw this jade pendant, he was shocked, this ...... This looks exactly like the jade pendant handed over to her by the Hao guards!
Swallowing a large mouthful of saliva with difficulty, Jing Ning stared at the piece of Eryu pendant and nodded carefully: "I...... I recognize! β
"What's your name?" The guard's eyes darkened when he heard this, and the entire palace searched, he didn't just run into one or two people who nodded at this jade pendant and said "I recognize" in order to survive!
"I ...... I...... I'm ......" Jing Ning's palms were sweating, if she pretended to be her sister, then, what should my sister do? How could she do this, no, no: "No......"
"Huh? What can't? I asked you what your name was, and you told me the truth, don't try to trick me! Do you know that if you say this sentence, it will doom you to life and death! β
The head of the guard spoke in a sonorous voice, with an irresistible majesty in every word.
Jing Ning's small body shook suddenly, his eyes widened as he looked at the jade pendant that was swaying in front of him, and hesitated to repeat the words that Guard Hao had explained to him: "I...... My name is Jing Yi, I am the eldest princess of Danxiang Kingdom, and the fiancΓ©e of Cuiyu, the third prince of Wu Zhu Kingdom. β
After saying this, Jing Ning closed his eyes and breathed deeply, the sweat on his body was blown by the wind and became cold, so cold that Jing Ning couldn't stop shivering.
Hearing this, the eyes of the guards holding the jade pendant in their hands and the soldiers with swords around them all glowed with a shining brilliance: "This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" β
Putting away the jade pendant, the head of the guard glanced at the soldiers next to him, and said sharply: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Put the knife down, if you hurt the princess, how many heads do you have?! β
The soldier was given the order, and then he woke up from a dream, carefully put away his blade, and stepped aside, waiting for the boss to give the order, so that they could take the princess to the great prince to receive the reward.
Seeing that the crowd was gearing up and couldn't bear it, the head of the guard naturally knew what wishful thinking this group of stinky boys was having, and immediately gave an order: "I'm tired of everyone polishing your eyes, protecting the safety of the prince and concubine along the way, if you are a little distracted, you can also touch a few heads on your neck!" β
"Yes!" The voice of the response was sonorous and powerful, but in front of everyone's eyes, Jing Ning stood in place with a bitter expression, and did not have the slightest intention of moving.
"Princess, please?" The head of the guard did not know what she was hauling for, and when he saw her standing still for a long time, he had to ask again.
"I ...... Can I ...... Go to the hut first, and then ...... I'll go with you again......" Jing Ning's face turned pale with suffocation, and it was not easy for him to express his meaning intermittently completely.
"This ......" The head of the guard saw that the look on her face really didn't look like she was pretending, considering that although she was in trouble, she was still the princess of the third prince of Wu Zhuguo, which would embarrass her, and it would definitely be difficult to do it in the future. Moreover, their team of more than ten guards is not so bad that they can't even look down on a little girl!
"Do you agree or notββ, people are going to be suffocated to death......" Jing Ning saw that he didn't say yes, so anxious that tears hung in his eyes, and he couldn't help screaming.
"Good, good!" When the head of the guard saw this, he immediately agreed, and ordered someone to go with her.
When she arrived at the dilapidated palace of Concubine Yu, Jing Ning easily found the location of the thatched house in the ruined courtyard.
Squatting in the thatched house, Jing Ning expected that the guards would not dare to peep at her even if they had the courage to peep at her, but at this time they decided that she was the future third princess of Wu Zhuguo. Carefully took out the piece of jade pendant from his arms, Jing Ning stared at it and unconsciously remembered her sister again, I don't know if she was rescued by the Hao guards, I don't know if she was rescued......
"Ahh β
The guards outside immediately let go of their hands when they heard this, and waited for a trembling sound inside to quiet down, only then did they see Jing Ning poking out a small head from behind the curtain aggrievedly, and Pear Blossom said with rain: "Uncle guard, I'm ...... I ......"
The head of the guard had been waiting outside for a long time, and this time when he saw Jing Ning's appearance, he still called him uncle, and suddenly his face was full of black lines, and he asked speechlessly, "What's wrong?" β
"My jade pendant has fallen inside, can you ...... Help me catch it? Jing Ning said a little unspeakable, but this jade admiration was extremely important to her. She didn't believe it anymore that they could just sit idly by.
"You...... You did it on purpose! "The head of the guard was so angry that he thought that he had been with the eldest prince for so many years, and he had never done such a thing, but he didn't expect that today......
"Huh...... What a bad luck! β
"I did it on purpose, what can you do to me? I'm sorry to kill you! Hmph......"
Jing Ning didn't care, she hid behind the curtain and pretended to be pitiful, she didn't believe it anymore, the jade pendant that fell down was not an ordinary jade pendant, it was the only one that could prove her identity, if she didn't want to go back to make a difference, they couldn't catch it. Hum!
"Not come out yet......" The head of the guard said angrily, and when he met this master who could not afford to provoke him and was quite able to find trouble for him, he had only to admit it!
Jing Ning rolled his eyes, lifted the curtain and walked out generously. The head of the guard ordered two soldiers to go in and salvage the jade pendant, and after a short time, the jade pendant was salvaged, cleaned and presented in a brocade box, and passed to the eldest prince.
Then, the guards led Jing Ning through the front hall and stuffed her into a carriage. As soon as he got into the car, the person in front of him threw out two loud whips, and the "pop" sound was quite shocking, which provoked Jing Ning, who was still full of thoughts and ran away, immediately climbed the edge of the carriage with both hands and "honestly".
The carriage turned several corners, and when it was about to reach its destination, it passed through a big pit, and the car slammed to the top, and Jing Ning was thrown up unsuspectingly, and his head hit the roof of the car full of gold stars, and the corners of his eyes hurt so much that tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.
As soon as he turned around, the carriage stopped, and there was the sound of heavy footsteps of the coachman jumping down, and the sound of trivial steps getting closer and closer, Jing Ning leaned his ear to the wall of the carriage, but he didn't hear anyone talking.
After a little silence, a sound of "rustling" sounded on the wall of the carriage, Jing Ning jumped back to sit upright, but couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Bad guy, dare to be afraid that I will escape, and actually lock me up like a prisoner!" It's really hateful! β
The sedan curtain was opened, and a soldier stepped forward and asked, "Please get off the car!" β
Jing Ning sat upright in the sedan chair, raised his head and didn't look at it as if he hadn't heard it at all: Hmph, it's easy to send this princess in, but it's not so easy to invite this princess out!
It's that Danxiangguo is gone, but she is also a pampered princess, where are these martial arts coarse people who can do whatever they want, they don't take Danxiangguo too much, and they don't take her Princess Jingning in their eyes too much.
"Why, Princess Jing doesn't dare to recognize her identity again?"
Just when Jing Ning was indignant, a low and powerful voice sounded slowly, that tone seemed casual, but it was a radical method that could kill her.
