659. Catch a turtle in an urn
How did you guys get tied up here?! ”
Ye Jingjing was shocked and hurriedly untied the rope.
Wanbai took off the rag in his mouth and said anxiously, "Niangniang, it's not good, the king of Dasheng wants to kill you here!" ”
"We already know that." Ye Jingjing smiled bitterly. "You see, Emperor Qianling and I have just escaped from the pursuit."
Wanbai didn't seem to hear it, and hurriedly said, "Siling and I originally wanted to follow Niangniang, but Niangniang walked too fast and we couldn't catch up, so we wanted to look around."
"As we passed through the grove, we suddenly heard the voice of someone talking, and we crept over to see that it was the king of Dasheng and his men. They discussed that they wanted to kill the mother and the emperor! ”
She didn't care about Ye Jingjing's expression, she just reported in a hurry, and said what she saw in a series of ways, "They said that they had made a plan to separate the mother and the emperor, and if it failed, they would do it directly!" ”
"Yes, yes, they also said that they brought more than 100,000 people to ambush around here, and they also said that this time we will definitely be unable to escape!" Siling hurriedly agreed. "We wanted to come back and report the news, but in a hurry, we made a noise and were discovered, so they tied us up!"
Emperor Qianling smiled helplessly, "Hundreds of thousands are bragging, this hunting ground can't accommodate so many people." ”
Immediately, he frowned, "But...... It is estimated that there are still tens of thousands. No, in our current situation, even a few thousand people are very difficult for us to deal with. ”
"Isn't the emperor still with people?" Siling asked.
Ye Jingjing shook her head, "If the king of Dasheng really made preparations in advance, then even if the number of people we brought was enough, we would be caught off guard by the other party, and it would be difficult to turn the tables......"
Seeing Ye Jingjing lower her head, Emperor Qianling's heart moved, and he stepped forward to comfort, "Are you afraid?" ”
"No, I'm just curious...... Why did he suddenly make a move? Ye Jingjing frowned. If it's because of the previous defeat, then why don't you recharge your energy and wait until you're sure of nine out of ten before you get back to the shame of the past? ”
Wan Bai asked tentatively, "Maybe it's because they don't have enough resources to recuperate, so they urgently need to expand their territory, so they are eyeing the fat of the Great Calendar?" ”
Emperor Qianling shook his head, "No, although Dasheng's national strength is not as good as that of the Great Calendar, the foundation of thousands of years is not something that will be lost. And...... They haven't done it before, which proves that although they are greedy for the calendar, they still have some concerns. ”
He thought about it, and always felt that this time things were boring.
Dasheng did it before because of Di Luochen's provocation, and if no one got in the way this time, he wouldn't believe it.
But since Di Luochen's troublesome spirit died, he really couldn't figure out who else could sow discord.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded around, and Emperor Qianling knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly pulled Ye Jingjing and Wan Bai Siling to escape.
The crowd ran wild under the cover of the woods, and finally retreated to a small hut.
The hut seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and it looked crumbling, as if it would break at the slightest touch.
But now the four of them couldn't care so much, they could only rush in and close the door tightly.
When the door was closed, it was dusty, and Ye Jingjing coughed several times.
"Could it be that we are hiding here to catch turtles in an urn?" Wanbai said anxiously.
Siling hurriedly touched her, "How can you say that about the emperor and Niangniang?" ”
Ye Jingjing couldn't cry or laugh, "When did you still care about this?" As long as I can escape, let alone catch a turtle in an urn, even if I really become a turtle and crawl out, I am also happy. ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves outside sounded again.
Ye Jingjing's heart sank.
The reason why she and Di Qianling chose to be here is because people keep throwing arrows, and the two of them can dodge it with martial arts, but Wanbai and Siling cannot.
Therefore, hiding here, at least they can prevent being killed by random arrows, but as Wan Bai said, they are now like locking themselves up and sending them to the hands of the Dasheng Monarch with their own hands, and the situation is not optimistic.
If it's just the two of them, fighting to the death, there is still a possibility of escaping, but ......
Ye Jingjing glanced at Wanbai and Siling and shook her head.
She would never leave these two behind.
However, Wanbai seemed to see through her thoughts, and actually knelt down with a thud, and slammed her head on the ground, "The slave and maid know that they are incompetent and have become a drag, and please ask the mother and the emperor to give up the slave and maid and run for their lives!" ”
Siling also knelt down, "As long as Niangniang gives an order, Sister Wanbai and I will never have any complaints!" Even if we were to be bait to get their attention, we would never complain! ”
Ye Jingjing was anxious, "Nonsense! I, Ye Jingjing, am not the kind of bastard who sacrifices others in exchange for his own life! ”
Emperor Qianling opened his mouth, but finally swallowed his words.
His actions failed to escape Ye Jingjing's eyes, and Ye Jingjing said a little angrily, "Emperor Qianling, do you want to sacrifice the two of them, let's escape?" ”
Emperor Qianling shook his head, "No, I'm thinking...... If the two of us go out and fight them directly and let them report the news, what is the success rate? ”
Wanbai hurriedly shook his head, "I can't help it, this is gambling with the lives of the emperor and Niangniang!" ”
Ye Jingjing nodded in agreement, "Okay, anyway, stretching out your head is a knife and shrinking your head is also a knife, it's better to fight and escape!" Later, the two of us will rush out, and you will find a chance to run through the back door, and run as far as possible! ”
Siling was so anxious that tears fell out, "No, mother! No matter how you say it, we have to block the knife in front, you and the emperor ......"
At this time, a commotion sounded, and everyone couldn't help but stop arguing.
There is no doubt that, judging by the sound, they are already surrounded by troops.
Ye Jingjing listened attentively, and the noise quickly quieted down, and then, it seemed that someone rode a horse and took a few steps forward, followed by the sound of dismounting.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and Ye Jingjing's heart is almost in her throat, and she is on guard at any time, for fear that the other party will rush in directly to make a move.
However, the footsteps suddenly stopped, followed by the triumphant voice of the Great Sheng Monarch, "I don't know that the emperor and the concubine of the Great Calendar are here?" ”
Ye Jingjing and Emperor Qianling glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, and at the same time signaled Wanbai and Siling to be quiet.
The four of them crouched down and shrunk into a ball, as if they could reduce their sense of presence and deceive the Dasheng Monarch outside as long as they did so.
It's a pity that the people outside are not stupid, "Don't pretend now, my spies just now saw you hiding in with their own eyes...... Oh, and with those two mouthy maids. ”
