Chapter 32: Rescue
The place where Situ Youning was imprisoned was an underground secret cell, so there were no other guards along the road, and Situ Youning fled down the stone steps to the surface.
The entrance to the dungeon was a dilapidated thatched hut, which was empty except for some dry weeds, Situ Youning ran to the window, and there was a sound of hay sneering from the place where his feet stepped on, and seeing the other houses outside the window, Situ Youning began to relax a little, fortunately it was not in the wasteland, otherwise there would be no place to hide.
She had to get out of the place before the other guard and their boss arrived, but just as Situ Youning was about to take a step, she stepped on something hard, and when she picked up the hay with curiosity, she found a jade pendant engraved with a totem.
"How can such a thing happen in a place like this?"
Situ Youning picked up the jade pendant as she spoke, but the situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to think about it so much now, she got up in a panic and walked towards the door, but just as she was about to turn around, she noticed an envelope that was a little wrinkled and similar in color to the hay around her, and it was impossible to find this envelope if she didn't look carefully.
"Did you check her pulse?"
"No matter how much I called her, there was no response."
There was a sound of footsteps and a conversation between the two outside the door, and Situ Youning quickly picked up the envelope on the ground and went out directly through the window.
"You're going to see how the woman is."
"Yes."
After the guards left, the man who chased Liu Che that night began to look for something in the thatched house, and Situ Youning, who peeked at all this from the window, carefully put the two things in his hand in his pocket and fled from the thatched house.
Beginning this morning, under the leadership of Situ Chenfeng, the army surrounded the entire Chang'an City, and all the people who entered and exited the city gate had to be strictly checked. Near noon, Situ Shaoqi also rushed to the city gate.
"Third brother, how's it going?"
Situ Shaoqi shook his head, "It should be the worst outcome I have considered." ”
A trace of worry flashed in Situ Chenfeng's eyes, "There are no people who can pass by all morning. ”
"How's the situation on the fourth brother's side?"
"There is no news yet, I have sent you to search Youning's whereabouts from house to house in Chang'an City, but so far there is no news."
The two brothers fell silent for a while, and two days ago, Situ Tan's painter brought back a letter, the content of the letter was exactly the same as an inference that Situ Shaoqi had been unsure of, that is, someone wanted to blame the Situ family for the assassination of the emperor last time, so after knowing that Situ Youning disappeared in the palace this morning, Situ Shaoqi would connect the two things.
"General." A non-commissioned officer came running from a distance in a panic.
"Vice Admiral Chen,?"
"General, my subordinates have led people to search the entire Chang'an City twice, but they still haven't been able to find the whereabouts of the young lady."
"Look for it again!"
"Yes!"
"Third brother, shouldn't Ning'er be out of Chang'an City anymore?" Situ Chenfeng frowned as he spoke.
"Impossible," Situ Shaoqi clenched his fists, "If they really want to frame the Situ family, they won't take Ning Er out of Chang'an City, their plan must be to find an opportunity for Ning to appear at the scene of the emperor's murder, and then..." Speaking of this, Situ Youning suddenly fell into deep thought, if his speculation was correct, where was the most convenient place to hide Ning'er?
After a few seconds, Situ Shaoqi's eyes suddenly widened, "Big brother, I know where Ning'er is, continue to let people check suspicious characters here, you go to the barracks to help the fourth brother." He hurriedly walked away.
After running for a while, Situ Youning suddenly stopped, gradually felt her feet, and there was a piercing pain, she wiped the sweat beads on her face, ran towards the open space overgrown with grass on the left, quickly dug a small pit in the ground with stones, and put the two things she had just picked up into it.
"This jade pendant is so fragrant." The fragrance from the jade pendant made Situ Youning sigh.
She knew that the person's martial arts just now were very high, and the place where she was imprisoned was not far from the ground, so at this time, I was afraid that those people were already searching for herself nearby, and now that she was in physical condition, it was impossible to escape from their pursuit, hide these two things that were important to them, and in an emergency, maybe she could save her life in exchange.
After burying the jade pendant and the envelope, Situ Youning endured the pain and ran away with all her might, gradually, the wound on her leg began to crack, and the blood flowed down her thigh to the ground.
"Your skills are really not small, you rescued Liu Che that night, and now you have escaped from that cell again," the man said and had already squatted in front of the dying Situ Youning, "I think if it weren't for the queen's help, you might really be able to escape back from here." ”
Situ Youning snorted disdainfully, "It's really unlucky, there are so many houses in this area, and there is no one in it." ”
"Miss, you can't dream of where you are now." The man said and pulled Situ Youning up.
"I was able to walk back on my own." Situ Youning broke free of the man's hand, blinked vigorously, trying to make his already somewhat blurry vision clearer, and limped forward.
"I can't believe your hiding place can be here."
A familiar and annoying voice sounded, Situ Youning was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at his right side with difficulty, Feng Yumo was looking at himself with a frown on his face, and the corners of his mouth did not see the usual arrogant and mocking arc.
"You are worthy of the king of Ji, you can find here, and the people say that you are a cruel and cold-blooded incompetent prince who does not do his job, but I have never thought so."
Situ Youning tilted his head with difficulty and looked behind Feng Yumo, and finally shouted in disappointment, "Hey, I am very grateful that you can come to save me, but you can't bring a few more people?" Your martial arts are not as good as mine, how can you win against this person, cough cough..." Situ Youning's voice was hoarse.
Feng Yumo ignored Situ Youning's words, his eyes looked at the man angrily, and the man also raised his vigilance, and then Feng Yumo slowly walked towards the man.
"Hey, you can't beat him, let's go." Situ Youning hugged the man hard as he spoke.
"Go away!" The man said and pushed Situ Youning to the ground.
When Situ Youning got up from the ground, the scene in front of her surprised her very much, Feng Yumo was able to fight with that person, and what surprised her even more was that before she could see the moves of the two of them, the man was injured and was 'thrown' against the wall by Feng Yumo, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth instantly.
"Hehe..." The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "It seems that I underestimated you." As he spoke, he disappeared in front of the two.
Feng Yumo didn't chase the man, but turned towards Situ Youning, who was looking at him in a daze at this time, walked towards her, who was in unbearable pain and fell to the ground.
