One of the guards who had gone out to look for him ran back, "General, I found the mark left by the secret guard ahead. ”

Xie Ming thought in his heart, the other party has obviously been planning for a long time, according to the description of the veteran, its main purpose is to save people, this time only sent six ordinary secret guards, if there is a calculation or not, it will definitely be defeated, and the mark left by the secret guard is very likely to be the other party's trick.

False and real, although he thought so in his heart, Xie Ming still ordered to follow the mark, and sent senior secret guards to scatter to investigate, every road must be investigated, and they can't be allowed to take advantage of it.

After the order, Xie Ming rushed back to the city, and it turned out that the urgent order from the capital had also arrived, as expected, it was His Majesty who ordered Xie Ming to rectify the place, count the prisoners, and spies, escort important people into Beijing, and temporarily take over the people's livelihood in Xizhou and Xiyuan.

Now that he had received the order, Xie Ming immediately arranged it according to the plan that had been drawn up a long time ago, and everything was busy but not chaotic.

At the same time, since Sister Yan's letter of peace has also been delivered, Xie Ming and others read it, their hearts breathed a sigh of relief, the second uncle is in good health, Sister Yan and others have also entered Beijing, there should be nothing to worry about in Beijing, although he and the second child have been officials for many years, but unfortunately they are not good at planning, although the seventh is cunning, he is still too young, with the help of his sister, the two of them will not be too difficult.

In a small village outside the city, Cui Yue, who was embarrassed, was carried all the way here.

The wounds on his body cracked, and he gritted his teeth without saying a word, and was quietly carried into an abandoned thatched hut at the head of the village, where there was only a young scribe with a low-eyed woman.

took out a token, "Miss Cui, I am Ning Ming, the strategist of His Royal Highness the Prince, and this time I was entrusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Cui to lead people to rescue Miss." ”

Cui Yue glanced at the token before letting down her guard slightly, "Thank you." ”

"It's not easy to stay here for a long time, Miss clean up a little, let's leave quickly, and the rest will wait until we get to a safe place." ”

Cui Yue nodded painfully.

Ning Ming walked out of the house and found a dark place to stand.

The woman stayed and simply helped Cui Yue deal with the wound, "Miss, bear with me, I'll be quicker." ”

"Hmm. ”

Looking at the wounds on her body, the woman secretly marveled in her heart, although her body was dirty, but her skin was delicate, and she was used to being pampered, but she had several wounds on her back, and her skin and flesh were turned over, and she could endure it without saying a word.

In particular, the knife wound that penetrated the left shoulder was not treated in time, the wound had begun to fester, and both arms were also damaged to varying degrees, which needed to be treated well.

Feeling the woman's gaze, Cui Yue said in a cold sweat, "I can still hold on, let's deal with it at will first, let's leave first." ”

"Yes. ”

cleaned her up and changed her into a set of people's clothes.

The woman helped her out, Ning Ming walked to the door, saw the waves on the ground, the dark red bloodstains, and then looked at her stubborn appearance, no wonder the prince attached so much importance to this woman, after this incident, this woman is a ruthless person, coupled with not low talent, she must have something to do.

"Miss Cui. ”

"Let's go. ”

Ning Ming nodded, signaling the people in the dark to act according to the plan.

The three men got into a mule cart and left the main road, and after a while, a dozen soldiers came on horseback, saw the three men, and stopped the carriage.

The woman jumped out of the carriage and actually spoke in a local dialect, "Master Jun, what are you stopping us from doing, my sister is about to have a miscarriage, let's rush to the city to find a doctor to save her life." ”

The leader rode a horse, walked around the mule cart, smelled a slight smell of blood, and looked at the woman lying on it, with a painful face and a pale face, but it was still clean, and this person spoke the local dialect.

But it's too much of a coincidence, and there's something suspicious.

When she was hesitating, the woman had already knelt down and kowtowed fiercely, "Master Jun, please do it, my sister is waiting for help." As he spoke, he shuddered and took out a broken money bag, "Master Jun, you can drink this money, please let us go." ”

Ning Ming hugged Cui Yue with a frightened expression, "Master Jun, if you don't believe it, go to the hospital with us, as long as you save my mother-in-law first, you can do anything." ”

The leader was still looking, when suddenly a soldier shouted, "Boss, look inside the village." ”

The leader turned his head and saw that there was a lot of wolf smoke in the village, and something must have happened.

He summoned a person and whispered, "You take three or four people to follow these three people, and if there is a problem, call someone, follow them to the city infirmary, see what kind of illness she is, and if there are inexplicable wounds on her body, arrest them." ”

"Yes. ”

After the explanation, he led the people all the way to the village.

The three of them drove the carriage to the nearest small city, although this city was small, it was a border with the Shang Kingdom, which was considered an important transportation point.

When a few soldiers saw that they were really anxious, they felt that the boss was making a big fuss.

However, the four of them still rode horses, followed the mule cart closely, and when they came to a corner, someone suddenly made a difficulty, how could an ordinary soldier be an opponent, and before the signal could be sent, it had already been extinguished.

The three of them drove the carriage all the way to the direction of the city, and when there were still six or seven miles away from the city gate, Ning Ming stopped the car, and the woman carried Cui Yue down on her back, and three people who were dressed like them came out of the woods next to them and got into the mule cart.

Ning Ming and the three of them went all the way from the path in the woods, turned left and right, until there was no road, and walked inside, although Cui Yue did not walk, but the road was bumpy, and the rough bandaged wound began to ooze blood again.

"Bear with me, we'll be there soon. ”

Ning Ming and the woman switched their backs to Cui Yue, and walked for nearly two hours before they staggered to the back of a hill, where there was a small cave.

"We arrived, safe for the time being. ”

Cui Yue said "um" softly one by one and passed out.

When she woke up, it was already dark, and before she knew it, the day had passed, and she was still sitting in the prisoner car in the morning, waiting for an unknown fate, and at night she could sit next to a fire and feel the temperature of the fire.

The wounds on his body had been dressed tightly from the beginning, and the hair that had not been washed for days had also been cleaned and loosely tied with a cloth belt, and the cave was very small, and the entrance of the cave was a misty vine, and it did seem to be safe for the time being.

After Cui Yue looked at it, her heart was a little relieved, and her breath was relieved, the pain of her body and mind these days hit her, as if she hid in the arms of her eldest brother and cried, but there were still outsiders here, and the Cui family couldn't admit defeat.

Settle down, "Cui Yue has dragged Ning Gongzi down, and when he returns to Shangdu, Cui Yue will definitely repay him." ”

Ning Ming said, "If I say don't repay, it will be hypocritical, but I don't want to wait to return to Shangdu, I want Miss to repay me now." ”

Cui Yue said in her heart, there is no one who only pays and does not want to reciprocate, say the conditions in advance, and cooperate, "You say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”

"Before that, I'll tell Miss about the current form, and Miss can make a choice. ”

The woman baked the dry food and handed it to the two, although Cui Yue had no appetite, she still forced herself, eating the food that was extremely rough for her one bite at a time, and when she heard the words, she nodded, and motioned for him to continue.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely worried about the safety of Miss, and so is General Cui, General Cui originally wanted to come to save Miss in person, but was stopped, and later decided to take advantage of Emperor Chu's birthday, and the opportunity of envoys from various countries to enter Chu to rescue Miss. ”

Ning Ming went to Chu as an envoy to rescue Cui Yue, and he was supposed to wait for more than half a month, but Cui Yue was escorted from Longxi to the west on the way, it was an opportunity, Xie Ming and others were in the joy of success, and they were busy with affairs, and they thought that the Shang people did not dare to do it for a while, and they did not expect Cui Yue's identity to be so important, so Ning Ming temporarily decided to arrange to rescue her.

"This piece is under Xie Ming's control, we can only escape from here through the envoy's team, Xie Ming will definitely be able to guess our plan, three days later, the envoy representatives of Shang, Jin and Qi will enter the territory of Chu from two directions, then we will be mixed in, as long as we leave here, we will temporarily get out of control. ”

Cui Yue swallowed the food with difficulty and nodded to indicate that she understood.

Ning Ming continued, "Will Miss enter Chujing with us, or will we send someone to send you back to the Shang Kingdom by detouring to the Jin Kingdom first?"

Cui Yue stopped and thought for a while, "Where are Sister Xie Yan?"

"Some time ago, I was still in Sigui City to treat Xie Yuan's injuries, and now I should go back to the capital. ”

"Take me to Chujing. ”

Ning Ming looked unexpected, but still persuaded, "Sister Xie and the others obviously regard you as enemies, even if Miss is among the envoys, they can't touch you, after all, Chujing is their territory, and Miss you are seriously injured." ”

"It's okay, I'm going to meet them in person. You don't want to be called by Miss Miss, just call me Cui Yue. ”

"In that case, I'll call you the Moon Maiden. ”

Cui Yue doesn't care about the title, it's just that Miss Miss is uncomfortable, and it's nothing to call the girl, "Please." ”

"I'm about to make my request. ”

"You say. ”

Ning Ming only showed a confident look at this moment, "This way, before returning to Shangdu, Miss Yue will listen to my arrangement, and I will definitely ensure that our group will go back safely." ”

Cui Yue looked at him silently for a while, the two of them obviously acted differently, and a team, there can only be one decision-maker, he has received the favor of others, and because of his injury, his energy is low, it seems that he promised him the best choice, "Okay, but before you do anything, tell me." ”

"I don't want to be a dictatorship, we can discuss everything, I'm just afraid that Miss Yue will be impulsive at that time. ”

Cui Yue frowned and said, "This time I messed up the matter, killing so many of the prince's cousin's right-hand men, and he also sent someone to save me at such a big price, I will definitely not hurt my cousin and my eldest brother for my own momentary anger, I listen to you." ”

Ning Ming nodded, "There is no idiot in the girl's suffering, you have to believe that there are many subordinates, as long as you have power in your hands, there will be no shortage of subordinates, and what Your Highness lacks is someone who can be your right-hand man. ”

Cui Yue's self-blame, remorse, or self-comfort these days, there is no such thing as this first-time person at this moment, and what she said works, "Thank you." ”

Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, Ning Ming remembered a piece of good news, "By the way, the crown princess is pregnant, and Niangniang misses the girl very much, and when the girl goes back this time, Niangniang should be about to give birth." ”

Cui Yue is happy in her heart, her sister has always loved herself, after having the emperor's eldest grandson, Lian Ce, has not been pregnant for many years, and this time she is finally pregnant again, Lian Ce is the emperor's eldest grandson, the prince's mansion, and the palace attach great importance to it, and there is very little time to be happy under her knees, and she has always been a sad hurdle in the heart of the crown princess.

"The eldest sister finally got her wish, which is indeed good news. ”

Seeing her happy, as if she had forgotten the injuries on her body, Ning Ming was a little envious, although these people lived in scheming, but their parents and brothers and sisters were there, it was not a kind of happiness.
