Chapter 148 A strange combination of circumstances
In fact, the distance between the Nanjiang Military Camp and the Beichen Military Camp is not very far. The most important thing is that there is a very turbulent river between them.
Yan Yu deliberately took Jiang Li on a detour, passing through a ravine.
The river there was sandwiched between two mountains and had many small branches, so the water flow was not that turbulent, and the black horse could easily carry them across.
"Are we almost there?"
Jiang Li looked at the candlelit military camp not far away and raised her hand to point the direction to Yan Yu.
The latter nodded, and then saw the girl's face full of excitement and impatience, which made his head hurt even more.
It seemed that he could not count on the princess to "escape at the critical moment", so he could only check the flare at his waist in case of emergency.
"Then let's go quickly. It's late at night, and now is the best time to act!"
When they were still some distance away from the military camp, the two men dismounted.
After all, riding on a horse makes you too conspicuous and difficult to hide.
Tonight, most of the soldiers from Nanjiang and Beichen are fighting on the battlefield, so there are not many soldiers left in the camp.
Apart from a patrol team, there were only two soldiers guarding the entrance of the camp.
Jiang Li winked at Yan Yu, and the next second, the latter quietly stuck half of his body out from behind the haystack, his eyes flashed, and he casually shot out two hidden blades that hit the guard's neck.
"go!"
While the patrol team had not yet reached here, the two of them hurriedly dragged the two guards into the camp.
They found an empty tent, and then Yan Yu stripped off the soldier's clothes and put them on himself.
Similarly, after he took off the clothes of another soldier, he handed the clothes to Jiang Li, and then threw the body into the half-person-high wooden cabinet by the door.
"Princess, you should change your clothes too."
"it is good."
Yan Yu tactfully walked out of the tent and helped the girl guard the door.
But just as Jiang Li's hand touched the belt, there was a commotion at the door. She was so scared that she immediately grabbed the soldier's clothes and tried to hide, but she couldn't find a hiding place.
"Where has that damn girl gone?! It was soon her turn to perform for His Highness, and now she's gone. When I find her, I'll skin her alive!"
"Oh! What are you doing here? It's so scary!"
Although Jiang Li couldn't see outside, she heard the sound and must have been frightened by Yan Yu at the door.
"Shh-"
The curtain of the tent was suddenly pulled open, and Jiang Li was so scared that she immediately turned her back to the door.
Although I could tell this woman was looking for a woman, it would be a disaster if she recognized me as a stranger...
"You damned girl, you're actually hiding here! It's your turn soon, why don't you change your clothes quickly! What the hell are you wearing…"
After she finished speaking, she came forward, grabbed Jiang Li's ear, and dragged him in another direction.
Jiang Li grimaced in pain, and at the same time, her heart was in her throat. The hidden blade in her sleeve that she used to save her life was already against her palm.
"It hurts..."
The girl quietly raised her almond-shaped eyes and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her. She saw that the woman's face was not only angry but also slightly surprised, and she did not look suspicious at all.
In fact, the madam didn't know what the girl looked like. She was in charge of such a large Zuimanlou by herself, so how could she recognize the faces of every girl?
She came here today only because the person who came to see her was very generous, and it just so happened that several girls with good popularity were called away by regular customers, so she could only randomly bring a few girls into the carriage, and she herself didn't know who she brought.
Anyway, since you can get into Zuimanlou, you must have some skills.
But she had never expected that such a beautiful woman would appear in their Zuimanlou. She hadn't even noticed her before...
The madam narrowed her shrewd eyes. With her face, there was absolutely no problem in making her the next top courtesan. However, she was not sure if her body was still clean enough...
"I'm asking you a question! Where the hell were you just now!?"
Even though she had a lot of plans for Jiang Li, her tone was still not good.
Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since she couldn't recognize her, things would be much easier.
"I just had a stomachache and went to the toilet..."
"You're such a lazy donkey! Hurry up and change your clothes! What are you wearing? If you anger His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you'll be in big trouble!"
Your Royal Highness?
Jiang Li's eyes lit up for a moment. Could it be the prince of Southern Xinjiang?
"Got it! I'll change it right away!"
"Stop dawdling! Hurry up! I'm waiting for you outside!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Li relaxed her tense body only after she saw the madam slam the curtain shut.
Then she saw the colorful silks and satins on the table not far away. They were colorful and the designs were very bold.
Jiang Li secretly sighed, looking at these clothes that didn't cover the chest in front and didn't cover the buttocks in the back, she really wondered what was so conservative about the thoughts of these ancient people?
She couldn't afford to delay any longer, so Jiang Li picked up a red dance costume that looked fairly normal and put it on.
Her unmade-up face was casually adorned with a touch of red on her lips, and the rest of her face was covered with a silver feather mask.
In order to avoid any worries, it is better for her not to show her face.
Half a minute later, just when the madam was getting impatient, the curtain was finally pulled open from the inside.
"I'm ready!"
Hearing the sound, Yan Yu and the madam outside the door turned their heads to look at the same time.
The moment she saw her clearly, the madam's impatient face instantly showed a look of satisfaction.
The wrinkles on his face were wrinkled together from smiling.
"Oh, not bad, not bad, but this mask isn't very good. But it's okay like this, it can give those men some fantasy!"
"Behave yourself when you get in. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes a fancy to you, it will be a great blessing for you!"
The madam grabbed Jiang Li's arm and dragged her away very quickly. Yan Yu was about to catch up with her, but was calmed down by Jiang Li's eyes.
It was really inappropriate for him to follow alone as a guard, but even though the princess was smart, he still couldn't trust her to enter the tent alone...
No, he had to find a way to get closer to her...
"Hey! Hey there! What are you doing standing there? Didn't you hear the Commander-in-Chief's orders tonight? We have distinguished guests coming tonight, and patrols of His Royal Highness's tent need to be increased. Why are you standing here instead of standing guard?"
Yan Yu's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this. It really was effortless to get it.
"Yes!"
……
Before entering the tent where singing and dancing were taking place, Jiang Li could already feel the lively atmosphere inside.
Isn't this a war? Why are they in the Southern Frontier Kingdom so relaxed? Do they really think they will definitely win this war?
