Chapter 316 Trap
Chapter 316 Trap
Shang Ruoyi heard everyone say this, so she had no choice but to nod and said, "You can go out, I will also place guards in the backyard. We have many female relatives in our house, and everyone is very cautious."
Shang Ruoyi brought them back to the mansion, and He Yunyi followed behind her.
"Yunyi, what's the matter?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry." She pursed her lips, her voice already filled with tears: "I swear, from now on, I will work hard to practice and will not be lazy for a single day."
Shang Ruoyi smiled: "But is it true?"
He Yunyi nodded: "Really, I will definitely work hard!"
"Okay, I understand. You go back to your own courtyard. I still need to ask the King of Qi something."
"Sister-in-law, where did you imprison the King of Qi?"
"Locked in a secret room." She whispered, "Go and get some rest!"
"Yes." He Yunyi looked in the direction of the secret room and left with Xiao Huang.
Just then, Yingxue came over: "Miss."
"Let's go and see the King of Qi and his precious daughter." As she said this, she walked towards the woodshed.
"Miss, didn't you say that the King of Qi was in the secret room?"
She waved her hand: "Does this lady have to decide what to say? Some things are better left to one's own knowledge."
Yingxue lowered her head and said nothing.
Shang Ruoyi came to the woodshed and pushed the door open. At this time, Prince Qi and Princess Shuyang were tied to the pillars in the woodshed.
She walked forward and unblocked the acupuncture points of the two men. The King of Qi slowly woke up, but Princess Shuyang was still in a coma.
King Qi looked at Shang Ruoyi and said coldly, "You, you dare to put me under house arrest."
"Your Highness, why don't you understand? Even if you conquer Qingzhou, we are still the people of Tianshun. To me, you are just an enemy general. Now that I have captured you, it is a great achievement. Who knows, Emperor Tianshun will restore our freedom because of this."
"You want to use me to seek reward?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "That's right."
"Hahaha, you can try it. Even if I die, I will never let you succeed. You, the Dingguo Palace, will bear the infamy of being a traitor for the rest of your lives, and you will never be able to turn things around."
Shang Ruoyi sneered, "I heard that the Southern Xinjiang King Qi has a very high status, and is now second only to the emperor in Southern Xinjiang. Your Majesty is willing to die?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "If Your Majesty is willing to sacrifice his life, you should have asked that General Wang Zheng to rush in with his soldiers yesterday. Who knows, my He family might have been razed to the ground by your Southern Xinjiang cavalry by now."
Shang Ruoyi had guessed his thoughts long ago. Now that he is in a high position of power, how could he be willing to die?
The King of Qi's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?"
"Retreat." Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "Let your soldiers from Southern Xinjiang retreat a hundred miles."
"Don't even think about it!" he said coldly.
Their southern Xinjiang had been suppressed by Tianshun for so long, and it was with great difficulty that the Dingguo Palace was exiled by Tianshun's short-sighted emperor, and they were able to capture a city. Now they want him to withdraw his troops? It's wishful thinking!
Shang Ruoyi smiled when she heard this and said, "Then let's just wait and see who can outlast the other."
"Humph, now your He family has been surrounded by our Southern Border soldiers. Food and grass cannot be transported in. How are you going to feed so many people? How about we both take a step back and you release my daughter, and I will let them transport food and grass to you?"
"Food?" Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Your Majesty doesn't seem to know much about our He family. The last thing I lack is food."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Yuntian's voice: "Princess, according to your instructions, the kitchen has steamed the buns, boiled a pot of chicken soup, and slaughtered a sheep."
what?
Where did they get so much food?
"Everyone has worked hard these past few days. We must have a good meal today to replenish our bodies and let the brothers outside smell the food."
"Yes." Yuntian smiled secretly. The Crown Prince's Concubine was really murderous.
The secret guards reported that the soldiers in southern Xinjiang were all eating dry bread. Now they were killing chickens and sheep, and just the smell of it made people salivate.
Now it was a north wind, and all the fragrance floated outside. The soldiers from southern Xinjiang wanted to jump into the yard, but every time they met the eyes of the tigers, their original excitement disappeared in an instant. After all, compared with food, life was more important. They could only bite the biscuits while wiping their saliva.
After Shang Ruoyi left, Yuntian sent two secret guards to watch over her. They held steamed buns in one hand and chicken soup in the other, with a large piece of roasted lamb on the tray next to them.
The King of Qi smelled the food and swallowed his saliva continuously, but he did not ask for it. However, Princess Shuyang, who had just woken up, was so hungry that she could not bear it.
"Let that bitch come over here! How dare she tie up this princess? She must be tired of living. Does she know who this princess is?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard her father's slightly warning voice: "Yang'er."
Shu Yang gritted his teeth. Now both he and his father were in the hands of that bitch, and she wouldn't even give him a sip of water to drink.
At this time, Yingxue came in, looked at the father and daughter and said coldly: "Stop making noise. Our young lady said that if you keep making noise, she will cut off your tongue."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Yang stopped talking.
The two secret guards smiled and said, "Sure enough, the Crown Prince's wife's words are more useful."
"Guard the door well and don't let them escape."
"Please rest assured, the two of us will do our best."
Yingxue smiled, looked at the two people again, then turned and left.
The King of Qi and his daughter looked at each other and indeed quieted down.
At night, several figures shuttled through the night sky and landed in front of the woodshed like ghosts. The two secret guards fell asleep at this time.
"Is the news accurate? Are the prince and princess here?"
"Exactly. After rescuing the prince and princess, you take them away. I will find a chance to kill that stinky woman, or kidnap a hostage."
"it is good."
After they agreed, they headed towards the woodshed.
"Speak softly, don't wake up those two secret guards."
"Humph." The man drew out his sword and sneered, "Wake them up? They were drugged, how can they wake up?"
They pushed the door and entered the woodshed, only to find it empty. Apart from a mountain of firewood and two wooden stakes, where could the prince or princess be found?
"Where is the prince? Didn't we get accurate information that the prince and the princess are imprisoned in the woodshed?"
At this moment, a man reacted: "No, we've fallen into a trap!"
"what?"
"Go! Go!"
They wanted to leave in a panic, but at that moment, there was a "click" and the door of the woodshed closed.
Oops!
They tried to open the door, but no matter how hard they tried, it wouldn't budge.
