Chapter 13: Plotting an escape
Ruan Ge was taken to a side tent far from Ning Mingchen's main tent, guarded by two sergeants.
"You're my slave now!!" Na Senhan's voice kept echoing in Ruan Ge's ears, and the face that was smiling wickedly kept shaking in front of her eyes.
Ruan Ge didn't expect that he had just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth.
She was driven to the point of madness, and kept telling herself in her heart that she must not stay here, and she must not become a slave of that demon.
Seeing that it was almost dusk outside, Ruan Ge planned to wait for it to get completely dark before finding a way to sneak out.
Although she knew that the chances of success were too slim, she still told herself to try even the slightest hope.
You can't stay here and let that demon slaughter you, you can't be cornered like in your previous life, and you can't end up committing suicide. Ruan Ge felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of this.
Fortunately, Ning Mingchen didn't let people tie her hands and feet, at least she could move freely in this side tent. It can be seen how much he doesn't take her seriously, and he has already decided that she is a piece of mud for him to knead.
Looking carefully at the side tent where he was located, the furnishings were very shabby. In the corner, there was only a low wooden table, a broken teapot and bowl, a wooden stool next to it, and a simple bed made of tarpaulin and planks on the floor.
The baggage on his body has long been lost, and he has no household goods at hand to use.
Just as Ruan Ge was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he suddenly heard the footsteps of many people outside the tent. A large group of soldiers ran over, and the guards at the door accosted: "Commander Zhao, where are you going in a hurry?"
"Prime Minister Xia's honor guard to greet the prince has arrived, let us gather outside the gate!" The leader hurriedly answered.
The team walked away, and the two guards complained non-stop, one of them: "I heard that Prime Minister Xia Cheng is extremely generous, and he will not hesitate to reward his subordinates, especially when he returns from this big victory, the person who greets him in front of him will definitely be indispensable." Another interface: "The fat cha can't always be the two of us, but he was sent to guard this dead slave, phew, it's really unlucky."
Then several pairs of soldiers ran towards the front.
After a while, a few soldiers came back from the front, smiling along the way. Seeing the two guards at the door, they asked strangely, "Brother, why are you two still here?" In front of him, Prime Minister Xia Cheng was rewarding people, ten taels of silver per person, and those who saw it had a share! ”
"Is there such a good thing?" The two of them were very excited.
"Yes, let's go quickly, and it is said that there will be a reward when I return to the capital, and there are many benefits of following the commander." The men laughed and walked away.
The two defenders were envious, and complained angrily: "Alas! It's been eight lifetimes of mold, and today with this hellish errand, how important can this dead slave be? is actually held in solitary confinement, and he has to stay an inch. ”
Ruan Ge in the room heard this, rolled his dark eyes, and was overjoyed. She wrapped the broken teapot on the table in tarpaulin and smashed it to prevent it from being heard outside, and picked up two of the sharpest pieces and carried them around her body.
Then she pressed against the door of the tent and said to the outside, "Two great brothers, it is my fault that you will not receive the reward."
When the two of them heard her say this, they hated her even more: "Even if you are unlucky, it will affect our brothers." You're damned. ”
"Two big brothers, go and receive the reward, I am already a slave of the commander, I don't want to bother you anymore, can I escape from this camp with tens of thousands of troops as a weak woman?" Ruan Ge said sincerely.
The two defenders looked at each other, their eyes exchanged, a little shaken but unable to make up their minds.
"Brother Defender, how long will it take to get a reward, you just go and come back quickly, I won't run, if you hesitate any longer, I'm afraid the reward will be gone!" Ruan Ge said again.
As soon as they heard that the reward was going to be gone, the two of them couldn't sit still, "You don't dare to run away, don't walk around casually, just stay inside, don't kill yourself." Then the girls ran, pushing each other as they ran, lest the other party take the lead.
Ruan Ge opened the tent door and looked left and right, it was already dark at this time, and she hurriedly flashed into the twilight.
If you want to break into the camp of the Ning army alone, there is no chance at all, this is Ning Mingchen's nest, and tens of thousands of troops have not stepped on themselves into meat sauce.
If it creates a small chaos for them, maybe there is a glimmer of life, Ruan Ge already has a plan in his heart.
She vaguely remembered the cell where the Mongolian refugees and prisoners were held before, and she went in that direction. Torches had been lit sporadically in the camp, and the light of the fire was even darker. Most of the people in the camp had gathered in front of the camp, and there were not many patrols.
It didn't take long to arrive not far from the tent, and there were only two soldiers guarding the door. She sneaked around to the back of her cell to find a place to hide. Looking down and carefully looking at the material of the prison, it is tung oil cloth, which is very good for rainproof in summer.
Ruan Ge took out the broken porcelain piece in his sleeve and cut it with the sharpest side, and actually cut it a little. Ruan Ge was secretly happy, and kept cutting hard, and in less than ten minutes, he had already cut a half-large opening.
Ruan Ge's body was thin and small, so he easily got into it. The captives in the tent all stared at Ruan Ge who suddenly came in with wide eyes. Ruan Ge didn't have time to explain too much, so he quickly untied the ropes on these people, and said as he explained: "I'll give you a chance to live, do you dare to break through with me?" ”
It was only a matter of time before these people were caught and waiting to die. If you can survive when you hear it, who can refuse?
There was a scream from the tent, and the guard at the door was alarmed and opened the door with the key to check. Before he could see what was happening, he was thrown to the ground by the people inside. Most of these captives were brave and skilled soldiers of Mengjiguo, and they rushed out of the tent in a swarm, and their momentum was not small. Ruan Ge mixed in with these people and broke a bloody path.
At this time, outside the gate of the camp, Ning Mingchen led the troops to listen to Prime Minister Xia Tianfeng read out the holy decree of Emperor Jiaxuan. Everyone faintly heard the shouting of killing from the rear of the camp, and after a while, someone hurriedly came to report: "His Royal Highness King Qiduan, the prisoners and refugees of Mengjiguo escaped from the tent and fought with our soldiers at the north gate of the camp, trying to rush out of the camp gate. ”
As soon as the words fell, another soldier came panting and reported: "Report to the end, His Royal Highness Duan Wang, that female prisoner has escaped in the afternoon!" ”
Ning Mingchen was slightly surprised, narrowed his deep eyes, and a trace of interest that no one noticed was fleeting.
"Xu Jun, go play with them." Ning Mingchen smiled evilly.
"Subordinates obey!" A tall general with a slightly yellow face took the order.
Ning Mingchen turned his head to Xia Tianfeng on the side, and smiled slightly, "Prime Minister Xia Cheng has worked tirelessly to welcome this king, rest early, and talk about something tomorrow." ”
Xia Tianfeng, dressed in a navy blue python robe, with a white face and a harmless smile on his face, said in a loud voice: "Okay, good, the old decay is arranged by His Highness." ”
Xia Xueqing, who was standing behind Xia Tianfeng, couldn't hold back for a long time, although she was still worried about being kicked out of the camp before, but the blazing eyes staring at Ning Mingchen betrayed her turbulent heart. At this moment, as long as Ning Mingfeng called her, she would immediately fly forward.
It's a pity that Ning Mingchen didn't even look at her, turned around gracefully, and was surrounded by everyone.
