Although Sun Shining didn't know much about the rules of officialdom, some things were too obvious, and she asked tentatively: "General Ning is the biggest official guarding the border pass, right?" ”

"Yes, the biggest official, he's been guarding one side for ten years." Xiuniang replied with pride, this hero who has been praised by everyone in the world is her man.

"How can the general guarding the border pass leave at will and return to Tiandu, the emperor summoned him back?" Sun Shining asked with a wink.

Xiuniang's face changed, and she was also suspicious of the news if she reported the news, unless that person encountered something very urgent and was anxious to rush back to deal with it, and she had to avoid people's eyes, she smiled reluctantly: "You have such a good relationship with Lord Shen, and Lord Shen is a close friend of General Ning, so you should not betray him." ”

Sun Shining glanced at her, how to use the word betrayal, the person who sent the letter has died inexplicably, Huo Yongyang is a traitor again, I am afraid that if this matter is to be publicized, it will have already reached the ears of the emperor, and in a sentence that Shen Nianyi once said, the emperor also opened his eyes and closed his eyes, just wanted to see what he wanted to understand, and the rest was naturally wiped out.

In this world, there is really nothing that the emperor doesn't know.

So, she shut up, so as not to suspect Xiuniang again, the two of them sat silently in the room for most of the hour, and no one else came, Xiuniang couldn't help it, and came to her side and asked: "What do you want to do with this holding us and ignoring us?" ”

"To stall for time, to distract people so much that they don't have time to take care of important things." Sun Shining watched the light at the skylight dim little by little, there were no lights and candles in the room, and he could only vaguely see the figure on the opposite side by the faint starlight.

"Why don't you speak, you're not afraid?"

"Does it work to be afraid?"

Xiuniang was stunned by her indifferent tone, she still remembered the first time she saw this girl in the inn, she looked delicate but not very noticeable, she looked a few more times but because Shen Nianyi had really no other women around him except for that Xiao Tang, and she was so embarrassed and so downward, and Shen Nian, who had always been high and proud, did not have the slightest dislike at a glance, it was really rare to see.

"I didn't expect Huo Yongyang to be by Shen Nianyi's side for many years, but he still didn't understand him." Sun Shining stood up and walked a few steps in the room, sitting for too long, his legs and feet were a little numb, and second, he was really hungry in his stomach and needed to be distracted.

"You mean to say that we are locked up here, and Lord Shen will not come to save us?" Xiuniang bit her lip and said, "In your eyes, Lord Shen is so cold-blooded and ruthless!" ”

"So, let me ask you, what do you think of General Ning's personality, if you are captured and imprisoned, and the war is urgent on the other side, he will come to save you first, but go to war first?"

Xiuniang wanted to straighten her neck and shout, of course, she came to save people first, but after thinking about it, she was depressed, if that person was really so childlike, how could he calmly lead the troops and resist the attack of the enemy country, her voice lowered and said: "It should be to fight first, I am not so important in his heart." ”

Sun Shining laughed lightly and said: "It's not that you are not important in his heart, but that he thinks more than you, if you lose the war, don't say that it is your life, and you can't even save it with him, if you win the war, you will have a chance to escape, and now the situation between me and you is the same." ”

Huo Yongyang did not hesitate to expose his identity and use his true face as bait, obviously he was determined to break the kettle, buried such a deep line, he had completely given up, Shen Nianyi would soon know who the real traitor was, Sun Shining kept thinking, what was he asking for, pulling a person like her to come in, it was nothing more than because of her relationship with Shen Nianyi, and wanted Shen Nianyi to be distracted to find her.

How long, how long, how long, or a day or two can you hold out like this?

"You said that General Ning is going back to Tiandu, when is it exactly?"

"It's almost after dawn." Xiuniang raised her head and looked, "I don't know the specifics." ”

"Then we'll only have one day at most."

"What do you want to do?" Xiuniang saw her walking around the house a few times, and her steps were quite fast, "Do you think the two of us can get out on our own?" ”

"Let's try it, no one is looking at us anyway, and if we can't be saved, we can try to save ourselves." Sun Shining's smile was a little blurry in the night, but his voice was crisp and pleasant, "Huo Yongyang underestimated a woman's ability too much. ”

"The door is locked, the window is so high, your hands are still hurting, how can you get out?" Xiuniang was afraid that she would be in trouble, so she wanted to stop her, "Since you also said that he won't hurt us for the time being, it's better to wait." ”

The corners of Sun Shining's mouth curled, and the result of waiting for it was elusive, she had to figure out where she was before she could act at the opportunity, she looked up at the skylight again, and muttered to herself: "This should not be the city." ”

Tiandu City is bustling and noisy, even at this time and this point, it is impossible to be quiet here, from the time she wakes up to this moment, there is no other hot sound, if you listen carefully, there is a faint sound of birdsong.

Xiuniang saw that she was serious, and also stood beside her and watched it together.

"There's no moon tonight, so I can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south." Sun Shining pointed to the other side, "You stick to the door and listen, there is movement outside." ”

Xiuniang didn't say a word, she did as she wanted, pressed her ears tightly against the door panel, and looked a little nervous: "No, there is no one outside." ”

"You push the door twice and try it."

Xiuniang pushed twice: "I can't open it." ”

"I'm really relieved, I'm really not afraid of us running away." Sun Shining's smile was even bigger, "There is no lock outside, this door is just bolted." ”

"How do you know?" Xiuniang looked at her suspiciously, "Through the door, how do you know!" ”

"I didn't hear the lock." The locks are all metal, and if they are shaken a few times by Xiuniang, it will inevitably make some friction sounds, but just a few pushes, it is also considered hard, but there is only a very dull dull sound, "If you hang the lock, you can't get out with our strength, if it's just a door bolt, there are still some opportunities." ”

"You mean, banging the door?" Xiuniang was a little dumbfounded, this Sun girl's idea was really different from ordinary people.

"If two people are together, the effect is much better." Sun Shining stepped back step by step, and waited until her back was attached to the other wall, she was serious and serious, and Xiuniang stubbornly learned her posture, "I'll count one, two, three, let's hit the door together." ”

Xiuniang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, since Miss Sun was sure, she suddenly increased her confidence, there is a sentence that is true, if the other party is well guarded, how can there be no one outside the door, hearing Sun Shining's clear shout, the three words blurted out, she has followed the other party's footsteps, the two of them are in the same step, not chaotic at all, almost at the same time, with momentum on the door panel that is not solid.

I heard a click, the door panel shook, and the gap of two inches was opened, although it was not fully opened, but it was already able to see the scene outside, Xiuniang couldn't wait to get closer: "It's a yard outside, overgrown with weeds, and no one else is seen." ”

"You grab the door and shake it hard." If Sun Shining hadn't had his hands inconvenient, he would have done it himself, "Shaking from side to side." ”

Xiuniang was already convinced of her every word, and broke the edge of the door panel with both hands, shaking it vigorously, and she could hear the creaking sound of the door panel, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger, and she was about to be able to squeeze out.

"Almost." Sun Shining leaned his shoulder against the door, "You go out and try it first." ”

Xiuniang took a deep breath, and then slowly sent her body outside inch by inch, the woman's body was soft, coupled with Sun Shining's pushing in the back, it really let her get out, she was overjoyed: "Come, I'll pull your arm, and you come out too." ”

When the two of them were standing in the courtyard, they were already sweating profusely, Xiuniang took out a handkerchief and wiped it: "You are really capable, these are all learned from Lord Shen?" ”

"When I was a child, I was very naughty, and I did a lot of mischievous things, and my mother once locked me in the firewood room, and that's how I escaped." Sun Shining pursed the corners of his mouth and looked around, Huo Yongyang shouldn't be here, he didn't do it well, he was bold enough to sneak back to Dali Temple and follow Shen Nianyi's side, so that it would not be easy to arouse suspicion.

So, he has no accomplices at all, and such a big matter has been solved by himself?

"Where is this, how are we going to get back to the city?" Xiuniang stepped on the grass and walked out, "What are you still doing here, it is important to leave quickly." ”

Sun Shining hurriedly came back to her senses, it was useless for her to break her head at this time, the most important thing she should do was to return to the city, find Shen Nianyi, and clearly inform Huo Yongyang's true identity.

Xiuniang is not a pampered woman after all, the two stumbled away from the imprisoned courtyard, and then turned around to see, this courtyard has not been inhabited for a long time, it has long been deserted, taking advantage of the night, surrounded by branches of trees that have not been pruned all year round, forested, dark and dull, it seems that at any time can suck people back again.

After walking for more than an hour, Sun Shining suddenly stopped, and Xiuniang looked at her inexplicably.

"Don't waste your energy just yet, I think we're lost." Sun Shining pointed not far away, it was the courtyard where they fled, she smiled bitterly, after all, she was still inexperienced, in this place called the heavens should not be, the earth is not spiritual, and there is no moon, the inky black night seems to stick to every corner in the line of sight, and the surroundings are extremely quiet, as if there are two of them left three or five miles away.

When she turned around, she saw Xiuniang's mouth open wide, with a surprised expression, as if she had seen something terrible.
