Chapter 46: Fu Jingrong and Qi Yan's conversation
"That's it." Xia Zhen stopped and looked at Fu Jingrong, she was giving him a chance, "It's too late to regret it now, once you go in, there will be no turning back in the future." β
"yes, I know."
Seeing that he was still firm, Xia Zhen sighed, and then said to the soldiers next to him, "We want to see His Highness." β
The soldier was still the soldier who guarded the barracks last time, so as soon as he saw Xia Zhen, he immediately recognized it, and with Qi Yan's instructions, the soldiers didn't dare to snub them, and hurriedly sent someone to show them the way.
Someone led the way, and they came to Qi Yan's tent unimpeded.
At this time, Qi Yan was discussing military affairs, worried about the next measures to be taken, and when he heard the report from outside, he dismissed the others and called them in.
"Is there something wrong?" Qi Yan turned his back to them, his eyes carefully studying the topographic map, his fingers constantly marking on it.
Fu Jingrong walked to Qi Yan's side, and like Qi Yan, he looked at the complex topographic map in front of him, "I want to borrow some people from His Highness." β
"Oh?" It seemed that he had known about Fu Jingrong's arrival for a long time, Qi Yan didn't show much surprise, but raised his eyebrows, "Why should I borrow you?" β
Fu Jingrong didn't answer Qi Yan's question directly, but said: "The back of the mountain range here is overgrown with weeds and dense forests, which seems to be undesirable, but in fact there is a hidden mystery, not to mention the winding paths there..."
Qi Yan was quickly substituted by Fu Jingrong, and when he saw Fu Jingrong say a bunch of mysteries that he had not been able to discover, his eyes lit up, and he asked out loud, "So what?" β
His goal was achieved, of course Fu Jingrong would not reveal more things, and then the style of painting changed, "... To put it simply, I can save people. β
Hearing this, Qi Yan slowly reacted, and he sneered, "If you hadn't failed to protect her, why should you save her." β
Facing Qi Yan's ridicule, Fu Jingrong was unimpressed, "I didn't protect this matter, but now is there any other better way for His Highness to do so?" β
It was such a sentence that made Qi Yan's hand marked on the map pause, and this sentence seemed to hit his heart, making him unable to move.
Fu Jingrong is right, now the generals under him are unwilling to save people, if they are determined to save people, those generals will definitely not be convinced.
It seems to be true that he has no choice but Fu Jingrong.
After some careful consideration, Qi Yan finally compromised, "Can you really save her?" β
"Yes." Fu Jingrong said with certainty.
Definitely.

In the past few days, Xu Zhisheng didn't know how many times she had fainted and how many times she woke up, but when she woke up this time, she only knew that she didn't want to suffer this kind of crime again.
said that she would control her own fate, but in the end, she never changed anything.
For some reason, she scratched her head with some irritation.
When she calmed down, she looked around and saw that it was a room, and she was lying on the bed.
In order to avoid being discovered, Xu Zhisheng got out of bed cautiously, and was stunned not to make any sound.
Considering that the door was guarded, she didn't plan to hit the wall, but slowly moved to the window and pushed the window.
Only a small slit was left in the window to allow air circulation, and the rest was secured.
After pushing for a long time, it was useless, and Xu Zhisheng gave up, after all, the mountain bandits were not stupid, and it was impossible to let any exit for her to escape.
As for the doorway, in the moonlight of the night, four figures are projected on the door.
Four people, but overestimate her.
Since she was taken away, they have unloaded all the weapons on her body, and the token originally given by Qi Yan was also used by them to blackmail, except for the stones that were hidden deeply, she had almost nothing on her, even sharp ornaments.
And the few stones on their bodies were all used up at that time in order to prevent Ye Luoqi from interrupting them.
Now she is like a weak chicken, the kind that is still slaughtered by others.
It's not that she didn't think about escaping, but Ye Luohua secretly added something to the water, causing her to react later, her martial arts had been lost.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhisheng got up suddenly, and lay back on the bed upright, completely ignoring any sound.
As if hearing movement inside, the people at the door quickly rushed in.
"When you wake up, you won't run, you're going to sleep." Xu Zhisheng covered himself under the pillow and said several words in a row.
The four people were already prepared, and they even had all kinds of kung fu to deal with her in their minds, but in the face of Xu Zhisheng's unexpected move, they were all obviously stunned, looked at each other, and then closed the door again in unison.
She was now the only one left in the whole room, Xu Zhisheng removed the pillow, turned over, and reorganized his thoughts.
Since the mountain bandits were defeated by Qi Yan, they adopted Ye Luohua's proposal and captured her as a hostage so that they could use it to negotiate with Qi Yan.
But is you really that important?
For a while, Xu Zhisheng fell into deep thought.
She didn't believe that Qi Yan would choose to give up in order to save her, in the final analysis, this was a distrust of Qi Yan, and at the same time, a lack of confidence in herself.
After all, if you don't solve the mountain bandits at this time, you will eventually leave a disaster in the future.
But even if she is really rescued, she will not be at ease in the face of those broken families.
In this way, she is on her own.
Due to the late day and many activities were restricted, Xu Zhisheng decided to start the action tomorrow.
So when the sun had just risen in the morning, she had already woken up.
Maybe because of the unfamiliar environment, this night, she slept very unsteadily, but it did not affect her current state at all.
After looking around, Xu Zhisheng set his eyes on the window.
Yesterday's night was so thick that she didn't see it clearly, but now that the sun is shining, Xu Zhisheng really found the trick to escape.
This window is a push-open style, and in order to hold the window, a piece of wood connects the bottom of the two windows to form a solid triangle, so that the window can be fixed.
As long as she opened the wood fixed outside the window, she had a chance.
Determining the feasibility of this method, Xu Zhisheng began to put action on the agenda.
She searched the room first, but found nothing useful.
I have to say that they thought very thoughtfully, because they were afraid of accidents, and the sharp objects in the room were taken away.
After searching for a long time, she could only find a relatively sharp comb, so she had to settle for the next best thing and chose to use the tip of the comb to cut wood.
Maybe it's because it's not sharp enough, or to avoid making a sound and not daring to move too much, anyway, Xu Zhisheng is so laborious to use.
After tinkering there for a long time, there was only a small scratch.
Seeing this progress, Xu Zhisheng felt tired, but it didn't take long for her heart to cool down again, because in the next second, Ye Luoqi knocked into the room.
Seeing someone coming in, Xu Zhisheng quickly left the windowsill and calmly combed his hair with a comb, "Something?" β
"Deliver food."
After speaking, Ye Luojun brought the food in, but he didn't leave immediately after he came in, but stopped in the room.
Although the marks on the windowsill were not obvious, with Ye Luo's mind wandering around, he would definitely find something.
Worried that the matter would be revealed, Xu Zhisheng made a statement to attract his attention, "You didn't poison this meal, did you?" β
"Nope."
"Yes." Xu Zhisheng didn't pay attention to Ye Luojun, and spoke to himself, "Anyway, it's not the first time you've put something in it, who knows what will be in it." β
People often say: "Once you are bitten by a snake, you are afraid of the well rope for ten years." β
In this regard, Xu Zhisheng has a deep understanding that if she hadn't been cheated and happened to fall into their scheme, she might not have been distressed by the loss of her martial arts.
Obviously, Ye Luohua didn't understand her troubles, and she didn't even eat this set at all, "I don't like to eat it." β
Seeing that Ye Luoqi was getting closer and closer to the windowsill, Xu Zhisheng was a little nervous, "It's not that I don't like to eat, it's just that I think your hostility towards me is too big, so I can't ignore it, so I said..."
Xu Zhisheng suddenly changed his words, "Why are you so hostile to me?" Or is it not just me, but all the dignitaries? β
According to Xu Zhisheng's observations in the past few days, Ye Luoqi is a contradictory existence, he not only shows his disgust for high-ranking officials and nobles, but also disdains the company of bandits.
Of course, the same is true for those bandits, who are not obedient to Ye Luoqi, who is halfway up the mountain, if it weren't for the mountain bandit leader Zhao Li who attaches great importance to him, I'm afraid these people will have a lot less fear.
In this way, Xu Zhisheng guessed where Ye Luohua's hostility towards her came from.
It's just that these words were all conjectured by Xu Zhisheng, and there is no substantive evidence.
So when it came to the end, she couldn't help but feel empty, but she told herself that she must be calm, so that no flaws were revealed.
It seemed to poke Ye Luohua's sore spot, but I saw him stop walking over, clenched his fists tightly, and gritted his teeth, "No." β
But his various inadvertent actions still fell in Xu Zhisheng's eyes.
Unexpectedly, she really guessed correctly.
"How could it not be?" For fear that Ye Luoshu would return to his original state, Xu Zhisheng did not forget to fan the flames, "It makes me happy to say it." β
Not to mention, this did successfully divert Ye Luoqi's attention, but at the same time, it also became the object of his disgust.
"Don't deceive people too much." I saw him say a word, and then left without looking back, as if he would not stay for a moment.
After Ye Luohua was completely gone, Xu Zhisheng closed the door, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, it was not Xu Zhisheng's intention to hurt people at the mouth, but the matter was urgent, and she had no choice.
Ye Luowei was so angry that he didn't send food to Xu Zhisheng for several days, but he couldn't make Xu Zhisheng hungry, so he sent someone else.
The person who came was Ah Ying, the maid of the cottage lady, who was thin and small, and looked very good at talking, but it just seemed that Xu Zhisheng had spent a lot of effort on her, but he had never been able to get anything.
The clichΓ© here is not going well, and so is the project over there.
Just as the wood was about to break under her perseverance, and she didn't know who had found it, when she woke up the next day, the windowsill was reinforced with another piece of wood.
Neither way can go through, Xu Zhisheng originally gave up when he got here, but he didn't expect things to take a turn for the better.
