Chapter Forty-Nine: The Peaks and Loops
Before she knew it, night fell, and the next person came to light the lamp, and the candle flame was reflected on her face, but it was as restless as a jumping heart.
The person he saw just now inferred from his age and appearance that it was indeed very likely to be the princess. But why is she being held here unharmed when she was dying?
She couldn't figure it out, but fortunately she didn't mess up at that time and was grabbed by Wang Miao.
In the middle of being depressed, Wang Miao pushed the door in, and unlike before, there were many masters of the shadow guards around him.
Seeing this situation, her heart couldn't help but tighten, as if a small knife was slowly and forcefully cutting open the bottom of her eyes, and the uneasiness spread from her eyes to her fingertips.
Wang Miao didn't say a word, with a slight wave of her right hand, everyone stepped forward to grab her and locked her with iron chains. She didn't dare to resist, but shouted suspiciously: "Lord State, what do you mean by this?" ”
"You should call me Father. I don't want to act with you anymore, I brought you here today to persuade your mother, hoping that she can help me subdue your people. But she didn't know how to lift, so she had to die to force her to count. I thought, if she is dead, at least you have to live, or who will be my bait? ”
She pretended to be surprised, and shouted highly: "The villain doesn't know what the state lord said......
Wang Miao stood in front of her, looking down at her at her feet.
"Don't you want me to let your blood go before you admit it? Why didn't I arrest you directly to test your blood in the first place, because I was afraid that I would be too aggressive and provoke you to fight for your life. You are very clever and have never shown your feet in front of me. It's also very bold, I have tried you several times, and you are not afraid of danger. I have laid a net against the heavens and the earth, and I am afraid that you will escape. I didn't expect you to go so far as to deny it in front of your mother, which made me wonder if I was really wrongly judged. But ......"
Wang Miao paused, stretched out her hand to lift her face, looked at her eyes red with anger, and said softly: "However, your heart is too soft, that Jiang Ning of Yuhuatai knows so many things about you, but you have never gotten rid of her." ”
Hearing Jiang Ning's name, her surging emotions rushed to the sky in an instant, "It turns out ...... Was he betrayed by Jiang Ning? She thought to herself, "I didn't run away because I didn't want to implicate her, which is ridiculous." ”
Wang Miao let go of her face and tried to slam her to the ground.
"If you want me to say, you yellow-mouthed children are really smart. Jiang Ning's girl, on the one hand, reported your whereabouts to me, and on the other hand, she rescued you again and again. Later, in order to clear your suspicion, he made up some unspeakable lies to deceive me, which is really funny. I knew from her transformation that it had to be you. Poor her, she thinks she can protect you. ”
Hearing this, she knew that Jiang Ning was just a chess piece in his hand, so she finally stopped refutating and asked viciously, "What happened to Jiang Ning?" ”
Wang Miao laughed loudly when she heard this, "Why don't you continue acting?" It seems that you and Jiang Ning are really friends of Jinlan. If it weren't for my Jiang family, it would have been finished a long time ago, where would there be the current scenery? It's thanks to her that I can catch you this time, so I will be regarded as her repaying her kindness, and I won't be angry with her for the time being. But as for whether I will punish her for the crime of bullying another day, it depends on your sincerity. ”
She lowered her head and did not speak, she was silent for a long time, raised her head and looked directly at Wang Miao. "Anyway, what should I do for you to let them go."
Wang Miao replied solemnly: "You don't have to do anything now, just stay here obediently for me." As long as you are honest, they will be fine. When the war is over, you will call them again, and then we will consider the long term. ”
After speaking, Wang Miao turned around and left, leaving her only bound. The moonlight fell through the crack in the window, and flowers grew on her pale green skirt.
"What do we do now?" The doubts of the flowers came out in the bottom of my heart.
She gritted her teeth, it was the first time she was led by the nose like this, and she inevitably felt that her resentment could not be dissolved.
I'm all alone, and I can't even get out of this room. She suddenly thought of Wen Yeting, didn't know if he found out that he had been locked up? I wonder what he will come up with to save himself?
Thinking of this, she felt amused again, and shook her head self-deprecatingly, she didn't expect that at such a critical juncture, she would actually start praying for others to save her, which was not as strong as she used to be.
In the midst of all his sorrow, he heard a hurried sound from outside the door, and the fire flickered everywhere, as if someone had stumbled into the door anxiously.
Could it be him?
She jumped and pressed her ear to the door, listening carefully to the movement outside. The whole courtyard became silent again, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
She looked through the window, as if she saw Wang Miao, still surrounded by a group of guards, striding towards the door.
Something went wrong.
As she was thinking about it, she happened to smell the familiar smell of thyme again, which swayed into her nose, and relieved her hanging heart.
As the time passed, a puff of green smoke rose in the courtyard, and the guards around them fell to the ground, while the others covered their mouths and noses with shouts.
In the darkness, she caught a glimpse of Wen Yeting's figure, and led a group of personal soldiers to rush in from the door. Wen Yeting's clear face showed a rare look of anxiety and fear, and the sword eyebrows were twisted together, as if they couldn't be rubbed apart.
She quickly shouted, "Here I am!" ”
Hearing her voice, Wen Yeting's face was like a calm lake blown by the breeze, and the fluctuating emotions danced in his eyes.
Following the sound, Wen Yeting soon came to her room, and with a blow of her two-handed sword, the door lock was split open. Wen Yeting, who pushed the door in, saw that she was safe and sound, and the waves in her eyes finally calmed down.
He cut off the chains that bound her hands and feet, threw away his Hidden Blade, took her into his arms, stroked her head and said softly, "I'm scared to death." ”
Those few words fell in her ears and into her heart. Her smile was still frozen on her face, shocked by this unexpected hug, Wen Yeting's heartbeat was so close that she could clearly hear the accelerated thump.
Her hand was raised in mid-air.
The moment she saw Wen Yeting, she seemed to be very aggrieved, so aggrieved that she wanted to cry in his arms. She wanted to put her hand on Wen Yeting's broad back, but reason made her withdraw her hand again, and it hung down with a slight tremble.
Wen Yeting let go of her, took her hand, and saw the red marks from the impact of the iron chain. He stretched out his fingers, stroked them gently, lowered his head and asked with distress, "Does it hurt?" ”
She froze, then shook her head in silence. No matter how big the injury is, it is always not worth mentioning to her, but she didn't expect that this insignificant red mark would make people feel unbearable.
Wen Yeting pulled her and was about to walk out, "Then let's get out of here." ”
She followed Wen Yeting calmly, suddenly remembered something, and froze, "The princess is still here." ”
Wen Yeting was obviously also surprised, everyone thought that the princess had already passed away, but they didn't expect that it was just Wang Miao's trick, and it was also Wang Miao's last secret weapon.
The guards in the courtyard had all been killed, and she led Wen Yeting to the princess's door, but saw that the princess was also chained, lying on the bed on all fours, unable to move at all.
Wang Miao is really not human.
She secretly took a sip, the princess's body and bones had reached such a point of powerlessness, and Wang Miao didn't let her feel better.
The princess had already been woken up by the sound, and there was indescribable surprise in her eyes when she saw her.
Wen Yeting picked up the princess on his back, and the three of them got into the prepared carriage together and rushed towards the camp where Wen Yeting was stationed.
In the carriage, after she calmed down, she couldn't help but ask, "How do you know I'm there?" Did you also lead Wang Miao away? ”
"Senior Holly has been guarding the small courtyard in the east of the city where you were originally imprisoned, and when I saw Wang Miao take you away, I followed you all the way here. He felt uneasy, so he came to me. As soon as I sum it up, I think Wang Miao was ready to fly away before the arrival of the two armies, and if there is a situation that is unfavorable to him in the war, he will take you and disappear. So, I have to get you away before he escapes, and I have to find a way to hold him back and not give him a chance to escape. ”
"So where is Wang Miao now?"
"If nothing else, it should be in Jinyun City. I think that since Wang Miao has gone into hiding, it is not a matter of urgency, and he will not return to the city easily. Therefore, I took the risk to inform Wei Yun at that time, changed our original plan, asked him to build a shield wall ten miles away outside the city, and then released a message to Wang Miao to the guards on the city wall that he would not fight this battle. ”
"Won't fight?" She was surprised, and continued to ask, "If you don't fight, then Yudu will win without a fight." Let's not talk about how Qin Du will treat Shuzhou in the future, but Yu didn't have to make much effort to get what he wanted from Wang Miao, and for Wang Miao, the gains outweighed the losses, which was equivalent to a dumb loss. ”
"Exactly. With Wang Miao's temperament, he will definitely not admit it like this, and he will definitely try his best to persuade Wei Yun to start a war with Yudu, because this battle must be fought for Wang Miao. Only by fighting a war can we not only inflict heavy losses on the two capitals, but also give him the opportunity to judge the situation so that he can retire successfully. What could he do? Since there is no need to hide, it is natural to return to the city and meet Wei Yun. ”
She knew it well, "So Wang Miao hurried to Jinyun City to see Wei Yun, as long as Wei Yun dragged Wang Miao and didn't let him escape, then he would be like a turtle in an urn." ”
Wen Yeting nodded, "Just in case, we still deployed troops outside Jinyun City, and once Wang Miao made a rash move, we would immediately attack the city." ”
Hearing this, she couldn't help but be a little worried about Wei Yun, if the two disagreed, what would Wang Miao do if he was not good for him?
Wen Yeting saw her unspoken worries, and said with relief: "Caicai, don't worry, Brother Wei will be fine." The general with Brother Wei is pretended to be Holly's senior, and when we arrive at Muhua Palace, it will be Wang Miao who will damn it. Just ......"
Wen Yeting looked at the princess beside her, "It's just that we have to settle the princess first, so as not to be able to protect her for a while." ”
"Go to the Imperial Flower Terrace." She said thoughtfully, "Let Yuanzhi take care of her first." ”
"Why don't you stay in Yuhuatai and wait for my news." Wen Yeting still couldn't rest assured, and didn't want to let her go deep into the tiger's den anymore.
"No, some revenge has to be avenged." She clenched her fists, her fingertips oozing sweat in her palms.
