Chapter 281 Things are unpredictable

When Shen Yuexi said that Bai Ling was still with Mrs. Li, Xia Lan's heart suddenly dropped.

Without Bai Ling as a token, even if he could see King Qi himself, he might not be able to believe his words without proof.

She was just a maid. She had developed the habit of acting only according to her master's instructions since she was a child. She would do whatever the master asked her to do. Faced with this complicated environment, she had no choice but to look at Shen Yuexi: "Mother , what should we do next?”

Shen Yuexi frowned and looked at the closed barracks door in the distance.

Now she and Xia Lan are locked up in the camp of King Qi's army. If they go out rashly, they will be very conspicuous and will definitely attract questioning from the soldiers. Xiao Beiheng is in King Qi's tent, so he cannot be alarmed. And there is no Bai Ling on hand. Even if Xiao Beiheng leaves, going to see King Qi is useless. It is better to find a way to escape from here and find Mrs. Li first.

After thinking clearly about what to do next, she put down the curtain: "We can't go out now. We'll find another chance at night."

Xia Lan was a little scared. She turned around and looked around at the layout in the big tent: "Should we hide first? What if someone comes in and finds us?"

Although there are many decorations in the tent, there is no hiding place. There is only a large box, which looks like it is used to store clothes. It can be seen that two people can hide in it if they squeeze together.

Shen Yuexi said: "It doesn't matter, if someone comes in, we will say that we are General Qi's maid and fool them around."

Xia Lan said with a bitter face: "What if Xiao Beiheng comes in?"

Shen Yuexi shook her head, took Xia Lan's hand, and tiptoed towards the edge of the tent.

The sergeant searched the entire camp on Xiao Beiheng's order, so Qi Shengjue's tent must not be safe either.

Xia Lan behind her tugged at her sleeves. Shen Yuexi turned around and saw that Xia Lan was nervously pouting toward the right side of the carriage. She followed Xia Lan's gaze and saw another group of armored sergeants leading a fast train. Come over here.

Shen Yuexi was shocked. If it were General Qi Wang, she would still be confident to deal with it, but if it were Xiao Beiheng, she would be in trouble.

But the general asked the accompanying sergeant to stay outside the tent and could not get out at all.

Shen Yuexi shuddered, pointed at the box and said, "Then let's hide in it first."

Qi Shengjue said: "Princess, there is no need to be polite. This is my own tent. I have just ordered all the troops not to enter here without my permission. But Xiao Beiheng wants to enter, but I can't stop him. I have to find a way to separate the two." The best way is to send him out of the military camp."

The guards who came to search didn't have eyesight, so they couldn't see such a big box. Hiding in the box was like catching a turtle in an urn.

At this time, the sound of a carriage came from outside the tent. Qi Shengjue said to the two of them, "I'll go talk to the coachman. You get on the carriage when no one is paying attention."

The carriage had just stopped when a military general in charge of patrol came over with dozens of sergeants and said: "General Qi, I just heard that you called a carriage to leave the camp?"

The military general came closer and said: "General, calm down. The general is also acting under the military orders of His Royal Highness. General, please don't make things difficult for the general."

The general was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: "No such thing."

Qi Shengjue's face showed dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by this, Your Highness? Do you think there is something hidden in my tent?"

Qi Shengjue started acting dishonestly at this time and insisted that the other party was targeting him. The general had no choice but to say:

Shen Yuexi was very grateful when she saw that Qi Shengjue had arranged everything properly. She said, "Thank you so much. It turns out that the general has already considered it."

The general said: "I'm afraid the general will have to wait. The general has just received an order from His Highness the Crown Prince, and no one is allowed to leave the camp."

"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are true."

"I have called a car," Qi Shengjue said, "I will send the driver away later, you hide in the car, and I will personally take you out of the camp."

Shen Yuexi had one foot on the pedal, and when she heard the two talking, she quietly put her foot down.

Shen Yuexi knew that Qi Shengjue was making unreasonable troubles there, and he was actually trying to buy time for her. She couldn't wait here stupidly, she had to find a way to escape from here quickly.

Just as the two were about to leave, the curtain was lifted and someone walked in.

"I don't believe it. You and I will go to His Highness the Crown Prince to inquire. I think you are just avenging a private vendetta!"

The general showed embarrassment and said: "The general personally rescued King Qi in Xia Yuangu, and everyone knows it. It's just that His Royal Highness sent someone to tell the general to check the general's tent first, and the general had no choice but to do something."

Qi Shengjue took a step back, bowed and said: "Everyone knows that Xiao Beiheng wants to kill King Zhao. I have received great kindness from King Zhao, and this is to repay King Zhao. The princess does not need to say thank you."

"Yes, that's you. I remembered that you lost all your money in gambling before, so you asked me to borrow a hundred taels of silver but I didn't borrow it. You..."

Qi Shengjue said with a smile: "It turns out to be General Sun. It's hard work patrolling the camp. One of my confidants was injured during the siege. I treat him like a brother and I plan to call a carriage to pick him up in the siege camp and treat him."

Both she and Xia Lan were very familiar with Xiao Beiheng, and there was no way they could hide it from Xiao Beiheng's eyes.

After the two came to the tent, Shen Yuexi asked Xia Lan: "Do you have any sharp weapons?"

"Since the general doesn't believe it, let's confront him in front of the Crown Prince. You guys stay at the door of the tent. We won't enter the tent to search until we see His Highness the Crown Prince..."

"You are not even allowed to leave the camp?" Qi Shengjue asked puzzledly, "Why does His Highness the Crown Prince require this?"

Shen Yuexi's master and servant hid at the entrance of the tent. Qi Shengjue went outside the tent and ordered the coachman to point the rear of the carriage at the entrance of the tent and order the carriage to retreat, so that Shen Yuexi would not be noticed by the surrounding sergeants when he got on the carriage.

The bad guy Xiao Beiheng is really hard to fool. When he saw Mrs. Li alone in the carriage, he realized something was wrong. Now he is searching everywhere, which is very troublesome.

"I don't know, General," the general said. "His Royal Highness is having people search tents one by one. I heard that there seems to be a strange woman hiding in the camp. I won't say more. I want to guard the gate of the camp. General Qi takes his leave." .”

"General Qi," the leading general shouted, "His Royal Highness ordered the general to inspect your camp. You are very offended."

Qi Shengjue said: "I am General Xinwu, personally appointed by the King of Qi. You, a small assistant general, searched my tent. You are not using His Highness the Crown Prince's oral instructions to publicize your personal grudges, are you?"

From Qi Shengjue's words and deeds, Shen Yuexi can see why Xiao Zhuo's soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives for him. He is good enough to his soldiers, so everyone is willing to be loyal to him. Even people like Qi Shengjue, in Qi Wang Daying still remembers Xiao Zhuo's kindness.

"Master... mistress," Xia Lan pointed at the box and said close to her ear, "Shall we hide in quickly?"

Qi Shengjue sneered and said: "I know, His Highness the Crown Prince sees me as a surrendered general and doesn't trust me."

Shen Yuexi had this intention and asked, "General, is there anything you can do?"

When she turned around and saw it was Qi Shengjue, she felt relieved and saluted him: "If the general hadn't reminded us just now, we would have been discovered by Xiao Beiheng."

The two of them chatted and left outside the tent, while Shen Yuexi and Xia Lan were extremely anxious inside the tent.

Xia Lan looked at her mouth, shook her head nervously, nodded again, took out a dagger from her waist, and accidentally brought out the binding rope.

Shen Yuexi saw the rope and rolled her eyes involuntarily.

I remember that when the two first met, Xia Lan almost tied her up with this rope. Unexpectedly, she kept carrying it close to her body. Things have changed, and now Xia Lan has become her maid. It is really unpredictable.

Xia Lan probably remembered what happened before and smiled sheepishly.
