Chapter 304: Breaking into the Beimeng Palace at Night
After Ning Shangmo heard this, he couldn't help but look at Ming Qingyan and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that they were arrested?" ”
Ming said lightly that she was worried about it, so he comforted her loudly: "Everything is still unknown, it doesn't have to be them, so you are waiting for the shopkeeper's news in the store, I'll go out to investigate." ”
Ning Shangmo nodded and agreed.
Half an hour later, Ming Qingyan and the shopkeeper all came back, and they had already heard the conclusive news that the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife were arrested by the Emperor of Beimeng.
Ning Shangmo was very worried that the Emperor of Beimeng would use them to threaten the Xiliang Kingdom and make an unfair exchange if he caught the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife. If Emperor Xiliang does not agree, the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife will suffer, and if they agree, Xiliang will be firmly held in the hands of Beimeng again, which is also unfavorable to Daling.
In this way, with this trump card in his hand, how could he be willing to withdraw from the army and truce? Even if she is forced to leave the border city, she will make a comeback, so it will be very dangerous for the eldest princess of Xiliang to repeat the machine and Tuoba Hongyu.
But she couldn't go to Tuoba Hongyu for help, his upcoming plan was enough for him to keep busy. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to intervene in this matter to anger the Emperor of the Northern Meng, lest it be detrimental to his upcoming actions.
After thinking about it, Ning Shangmo decided that it would be up to them to save the eldest princess and his wife.
Ming Qingyan naturally wouldn't let her go, for fear that she would be in danger, so he said that he could go by himself. The palace of the Northern Mongolian Emperor was the former Marshal's Mansion, and he was very familiar with it. In addition, he followed Tuoba Hongyu in last night and knew about the patrol and shift change of guards inside.
Ning Shangmo insisted that she must go, if it weren't for her disease. The eldest princess and his wife in Xiliang will not have good fruits to eat in the hands of the Beimeng Emperor, maybe he will spill Xiliang's resentment against the alliance with Beimeng on them. Isn't that dangerous? What's more, the eldest princess of Xiliang is still pregnant with Liujia, this is her first child, and there must be no accident.
Ming couldn't resist her lightly, so he could only promise her to go with him. In this way, the odds of winning may be greater, after all, he knows Ning Shangmo's ability. The only thing he was worried about was that she might have difficulty moving while she was pregnant, and the pregnant woman must be different from normal people and more delicate.
Ning Shangmo promised him that he would act carefully, if she was discovered, she would run away and never fight, Ming said lightly that she was relieved.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant wanted to arrange a few buddies for them to go with him, but Ning Shangmo and Ming refused lightly. A large number of people is easy to expose. They must not let the Northern Mongolian soldiers catch it, otherwise it will have a more adverse impact on Tuoba Hongyu's plan, and even if the plan is successful, it will be of little significance.
Now it is good to create a desperate feeling for the Northern Mongolian Emperor, so that after the implementation of Tuoba Hongyu's plan, it is possible for him to understand his suffering, after all, it is to save the Northern Mongolian soldiers from fire and water.
But now that the situation has reversed, the Emperor of Beimeng has captured the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife, if he catches them again, wouldn't he have a chance to win? How can he be willing to withdraw from the army and truce.
Therefore, Ning Shangmo and Ming Qing decided not to bring anyone, just the two of them, and broke into the palace of the Northern Mongolian Emperor at night.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw that they had made up their minds, and it was useless to persuade them, so even if they were worried, they could only go.
As a result, what should have been a joyful celebration became tasteless, and everyone's appetite was not good.
After eating, Ning Shangmo and Ming Qingyan went to the street to inquire about the situation, anyway, they couldn't enter the palace of Emperor Beimeng during the day, so they could only wait for the evening.
They did not inquire about anything useful in the streets, and returned to the restaurant at dusk.
But the shopkeeper of the restaurant found someone for them. The man worked as a cook in the palace of the Emperor of Beimeng, so he was free to go out and was familiar with the situation inside. In addition, he is kind and kind, and whoever asks him to open a small stove will readily agree, so his popularity is very good.
Ning Shangmo and Ming Qingyan learned from him that the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife were locked up in the most secret room in the palace by the Beimeng Emperor. At noon, he used to deliver food, and they were all tortured and bruised all over their bodies.
Ning Shangmo's heart sank suddenly when she heard this, her guess was right, the Emperor of Beimeng would betray the alliance with Beimeng to Xiliang and form an alliance with Da Ling, which led to the defeat of Beimeng, and the hatred of Da Ling's profit was vented on the eldest princess and his wife of Xiliang.
If not, how could they be tortured? They did not commit any heinous crimes at all, nor did they harm the soldiers of Northern Mongolia.
They must be rescued at night, if not for some sin. The eldest princess of Xiliang is pregnant with Liujia and can't afford to toss.
Ming Qingyan also had a dark face, and he didn't expect that Emperor Beimeng would torture the eldest princess and his wife in Xiliang.
The man also knew a limited amount of information, and he couldn't ask more, so he let him have it.
Ning Shangmo and Ming Qingyan finally stayed up until the third watch, and the two changed into night clothes and came to the palace of Emperor Beimeng. Then follow the route pointed out by the cook, and go straight to the small courtyard where the eldest princess and his wife are imprisoned.
Ming Qingyan climbed over the wall and went in first, and when he stunned the guards in the courtyard, he then opened the door and let Ning Shangmo in.
There are no lights in the house, and I don't know what happened. Therefore, he still said lightly that he went in first, after he entered the door, he was afraid that there would be guards inside, and he didn't dare to light the lamp, so he listened with bated breath for a while, and found nothing unusual, so he took out the fire hyacinth from his body and lit it.
There was no one outside. Ming Qingyan walked into the inner room again, only to see the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife tied behind their backs, squatting under the wall.
Ming said that they didn't react when he went in, so he guessed that they might be asleep, there were no guards in the house, and he sent a code to Ning Shangmo to let her in.
After Ning Shangmo entered, unexpectedly, the person squatting under the base of the wall suddenly stood up and rushed towards them.
Ning Shangmo and Ming couldn't help but be startled, they were unprepared, sometimes, people were scared to death.
When they came back to their senses, they found out that they were not the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife, and then they understood that they had been fooled. It turned out that the Emperor of Beimeng had already set a trap and waited for them to enter.
At this time, the door was also opened, and many Northern Mongolian soldiers rushed in. Ming said lightly that the situation was not good, so he whispered to Ning Shangmo: "I'll cover, you run away." ”
Ning Shangmo replied in a low voice: "No, let's go together, we can't leave you behind, so the Emperor of Beimeng has two chips in his hand, do you think he will admit defeat and truce?" ”
Although Ming Qingyan felt that what she said made sense, it was unlikely that the two would escape together, and they were already the turtles in the urn of the Beimeng guards. Therefore, he said in a deep voice: "You promised, if there is something to do with me, just run away, you can't break your word." As for me, don't worry, I won't be caught by them. ”
Before he finished his words, Ning Shangmo reached out and sprinkled a handful of lime powder with something added.
Seeing this, Ning Shangmo hurriedly pulled Ming and whispered, "Quick, let's go quickly." ”
Ming nodded lightly and jumped into the courtyard with her.
At this time, they had every chance to escape, but Ning Shangmo was worried about the eldest princess and his wife in Xiliang. The cook of the palace said that they had been tortured, and she was afraid that if they were so disturbed, they would suffer more crimes.
So, after the two escaped from this small courtyard, they hid in a firewood room.
Ming Qingyan was very puzzled and asked, "Mo'er, why don't you run away and bring me here?" ”
"We must find the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife, if not, the consequences will be unimaginable." Ning Shangmo said while standing by the window and observing the movement outside the window.
When Ming Qingyan heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Don't you see it?" Today's incident is all a trap set against us, it would be nice to be able to escape, and you still expect to save them? If we can't find them today, they must have been hidden by the Emperor of Beimeng. ”
Ning Shangmo retorted: "As long as we are in this palace, we can find it." ”
"Even if they do, how do you get them out? There are Northern Mongolian soldiers everywhere here, just the two of us? Wouldn't it be worse if we were caught? Seeing that she didn't listen to persuasion, Ming Qingyan was very anxious, and he knew that he should have said nothing and didn't let her come, which would be really annoying.
Ning Shangmo had already made up his mind and would not stop persuading anyone.
She stopped talking, and found that the small courtyard was quiet, and the Beimeng soldiers did not chase after her, so she opened the door again and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Ming asked softly.
"I think they're supposed to be locked up here. This is the most remote place in the entire palace, and as early as the time when it was the Marshal's Mansion, few people came. Ning Shangmo said and began to look around.
Ming said lightly but worriedly: "Let's go quickly, since they have set a trap, then we are now a turtle in an urn, and we can't do anything, otherwise we will also be caught." ”
Ning Shangmo insisted on finding the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife, and now that the eldest princess of Xiliang was pregnant, she couldn't let anything happen to her. Pregnant women must not suffer physical torture, otherwise the fetus will be lost.
Soon the Northern Mongolian soldiers came here and shouted: "They are here, here." ”
Ming Qingyan was even more anxious, stretched out his hand and pulled Ning Shangmo and said, "Let's go, give up the action for the time being tonight, go back first, and then find a way." ”
Ning Shangmo saw that there were more and more soldiers, and she didn't feel anxious in her heart, how could she not know that what Ming Qingyan said was true. It's just that she was so worried about the eldest princess of Xiliang that she forgot that they were in danger, and just wanted to save a little luck and rescue them.
As soon as she thought that the eldest princess of Xiliang was being tortured while she was pregnant with Liujia, her heart was tightly wrinkled, and she couldn't leave with peace of mind.
She thought for a while, and whispered to Ming: "You hurry up, I'll go to the kitchen to find the chef, and ask him to take me to the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife." ”
"Find them, can you save them alone? Mo'er, don't make trouble, come back with me. Ming Qingyan heard that the soldiers of Beimeng were getting closer and closer, and soon their hiding place would be exposed, and he couldn't help but say even more anxiously.
