Chapter 300: Life and Death Don't Know Anything
Shen Ke, who wanted to go to Jiangnan, changed his mind when he walked out of the mountains and forests, whether it was the northwest or Jiangnan, Jinyiwei had already laid a net waiting for him, the most precious thing for him was not his life, but time, although he cut off all contact with the outside world, but he could guess that the current capital must not be peaceful.
An imbalance of power on either side is not a good thing, especially above the three armies.
The long dark night is his best cover, they walked on the ridges between the rice fields, crawling on the grassy paths, it was summer, a large area of rice has begun to tassel, and it will be ripe in about a month, this knee-high rice blocks the eyes of outsiders, so that Shen Ke and others can crawl on this road with confidence.
Even if the Jinyi Guards didn't think that they would be put to death and reborn, the capital has always been a well-defended imperial capital, and the destination of their trip was not in the capital, but in Xishan.
Although there are soldiers guarding the West Mountain, but because it is a cemetery, no outsiders have set foot in the defense has always been lax, the previous time Zhu Ge with the brocade guard was able to dig up the grave and steal the corpse, it was because the West Mountain did not want to be shrouded in haze The guards were lax, although the West Mountain was a mass grave and cemetery, but most of the corpses were concentrated on the top of the mountain, and the guards were mostly concentrated at the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain. No matter how Ren Jinyiwei thought about it, he would never have thought that Jinyiwei would hide at the feet of the Son of Heaven when he laid a net to search for them.
………………
In addition to the warm yellow sunset turned into a dim candlelight and there was more food on the table, there was a kneeling maid in the house, Du Yiyi's situation did not improve at all, the maid was left by Ning Chaoge when he left, taking care of Du Yiyi's diet and daily life that was inconvenient due to the binding of hands and feet, so that Xiong Daishan, who was looking forward to her, never walked into this courtyard again, and she was already a blind, deaf and mute person trapped in the courtyard of the middle courtyard.
"Just eat a little! Please! The maid has been persuading Du Yiyi to eat, but Du Yiyi has been motionless, and the little maid thinks that it is difficult to explain, so she can only kneel down and beg bitterly.
"You are from Chao Wangfu, and you are inseparable from me, why should I do something I am reluctant to do for you?" Du Yiyi struggled with his hand, the hemp rope in his hand was still tightly tied, Ning Chaoge did not have the slightest pity for the jade, the tightly tied hemp rope had already worn out the skin of his wrist under Du Yiyi's struggle, bright red and large, and he gasped in pain when he moved.
"The servant knows you're a good man! The servant only begs you to eat a mouthful of food, otherwise the prince will come back and the servant will be punished! "When Ning Chaoge left, he had already explained to the servant, and in order to set an example for the military, Ning Chaoge was even more strict with the discipline of the upper and lower levels of the house, and the handmaid was even soft, how could she withstand such a punishment!
The maid cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, although Du Yiyi couldn't bear it, but she didn't forget that she was also in danger, but since this maid was so afraid of Ning Chaoge, she might be able to let her do something for herself.
"Let me ask you, is Lord Yan in the next room okay?"
Yan Liu was arrested and entered the Chao Wangfu at the same time as her, Yan Liu, an old man, was inevitably in poor health, and if she wanted to escape, she might have to rely on this Yan Da who was quite prestigious in the court.
"The next room is not a maid to serve, but the maidservant's sister also brought food into the house, and the old man should be fine!" The servant girl who didn't dare to reveal too much secretly looked at Du Yiyi while talking, seeing that she was listening carefully, and she also said her opinion, Ning Chaoge had already explained this, she was just a cheap maid, and in the face of Princess Rui, who was a fierce rival of the court, she didn't dare to be careless in the slightest so as not to cause trouble.
"When will King Chao come back?" Du Yiyi twisted her neck and relieved the itching on the back of her neck with difficulty, her eyes turned around and fell on the red candle, Ning Chaoge brought them here silently, the Yan family found out that it was only a matter of time before Yan Liu disappeared, Yan Xinglu would definitely tell the emperor, it was only a matter of time before she found out here, Ning Chaoge wanted this time in between, and she had to shorten this time as much as possible.
"I don't know!" The maid bowed her head.
"Bring the food! Help me tickle my back! Du Yiyi kept rubbing against the wall, but she couldn't relieve the itch on her back at all.
The maid was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately got up and scratched her back for Du Yiyi, and waited until Du Yiyi nodded and said yes before bringing the meal and feeding Du Yiyi a spoonful of food, the bowl of crow soup Du Yiyi was really idle, it was greasy and couldn't eat it, so she didn't move, after eating, the maid didn't mean to leave, just stood aside and watched, Du Yiyi hinted at letting her go out for a walk, and after the maid didn't move, she could only wait patiently, and waited and waited. When the maidservant finally couldn't hold back her pee, she saluted and left the house with the dishes and chopsticks.
Hearing the footsteps getting farther and farther away, Du Yiyi stood up against the wall, squinted and glanced at the door, it was dark outside and she couldn't see anything, she sat down with relief, stretched her legs with difficulty and moved her buttocks on the ground, the table was only ten steps away from her, moved to the foot of the table and stood up, she leaned towards the candle flame with her hands tied behind her back.
The rope was so strong that it was difficult to raise her hands to the height of the menorah, and the maid placed the menorah carefully in the middle of the table, and she could not hold the menorah at all.
At the critical moment, she couldn't control so much, and after thinking of a favorable way, she could only grit her teeth, slammed her waist against the table, and hit it hard a few times, the candlestick began to shake, Du Yiyi's previous meal finally came in handy, and she increased her strength after eating, knocking the candlestick down on the table, and the faint candlelight flickered and dimmed for a moment before slowly rising again, so that the hemp rope on the wrist could be reached!
But Du Yiyi thought of another question, the guards outside.
The guards outside heard the voices inside, and they had seen the people trapped in danger, and they didn't have the slightest suspicion.
Du Yiyi has no martial arts, even if she unties the rope, she can't run out of this house, and if she can't even reach the door, she will be tied with a new hemp rope, her brain is running rapidly, she lowered her head and frowned, and immediately thought of a way, Ning Chaoge tied her up and didn't kill her, which means that she is still useful to him, if she is seriously injured, he will not ignore it, if there is a fire in Chao Wang's Mansion, the people patrolling the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will definitely notice, even if it is only a slight possibility, she must give it a try.
There is only a candlestick on the table, and on weekdays, such a table can be moved at will for Du Yiyi, but now it is very difficult to move this table when her hands and feet are inconvenient, in order to avoid making too loud noise to arouse the vigilance of the guards outside, she can only carefully and slowly push the table to think about the corner of the room.
Some of the furniture in the house that has not been inhabited for a long time has been dusted and concentrated in one corner, and it is all made of wood, which is the best ignition material!
Ning Zhiyuan is dead, Shen Ke may really be difficult to escape this catastrophe, this world has no nostalgia for her, rather than keep this body and be insulted by Ning Chaoge, she would rather die in such a painful way.
………………
The two people who thought that the person in their hearts had died because of the emperor's words were painfully reminiscing about the past and breaking free from the current situation, in the imperial study, Yan Liu told Yan Liu that Yan Liu had not returned so far and did not know where to go, and the emperor attached great importance to it and immediately sent the guards of Ningyuan Palace out of the palace to find out, but now the palace has limited strength and let Shu Ruhai take his order to the governor's mansion to transfer troops to search.
Since Lu Xiangxue left Beijing, Lu Yi'an has never inquired about her news, and he can only ask three questions about what the emperor asks, Jin Yiwei's secret letter was sent to the emperor, and the emperor who learned that Jin Yiwei had already had a confrontation with Shen Ke's team was settled.
There are a lot of troubles in the chaos, and when he learned the news that Ning Zhiyuan was in the palace, Ning Xiao, who came in and was grounded by Qi Zhaoyi, took advantage of the night to stay in Ningyuan Palace to see Ning Zhiyuan, Du Yiyi was imprisoned, Zhao Jingzhi was detained and temporarily trapped in Zhao Mansion, the three armies were already in the hands of Ning Chaoge, Ning Xiao could understand Ning Zhiyuan's current situation, the emperor was upset, and he was angered when he saw Ning Xiao's words.
Ning Zhiyuan, who had no intention of arguing, pulled Ning Xiao out of the imperial study and took her to the dormitory.
Visits are strictly forbidden in the prison these days, except for the people in the East Factory, they can't enter and leave at all, Ning Xiao was also surprised when he heard what Ning Zhiyuan said, and he was so angry that he was about to run to the imperial study to reason with the emperor.
