After hearing this, Hao Guangming noticed the guilty look in Zhu Yu'e's eyes, and after a moment of silence he said: "Don't worry, since Li Zicheng has people imprisoning you, he shouldn't kill you and Fei Zhen'e easily.

Now that you have disappeared inexplicably, they don't know how you escaped, let alone kill Fei Zhen'e.

At most, she would be tortured and suffer a lot.

Besides, you can’t take anyone other than my grandma through time, so even if you return to the Chuangjun camp, how can you save Fei Zhen’e?”

"But," Zhu Aa frowned, "You can't just leave Sister Zhen'e alone, right?"

After all, Hao Guangming had never been to the Ming Dynasty, nor had he met Fei Zhen'e.

To him, Fei Zhen'e seemed to be just a name in the wild history, or an NPC in the game.

Therefore, the first thought in his mind at this time was to persuade Zhu Aola to leave Fei Zhen'e alone. After all, the life and death of this palace maid could not affect the situation in the Ming Dynasty over there.

But Zhu Yu'e is the key to whether the situation in the Ming Dynasty can be reversed. It is not worth it for her to put herself in danger for Fei Zhen'e.

After this idea came up, Hao Guangming suddenly realized it and felt a little ashamed.

Although he is not from the same world, he should not be so indifferent to a life.

Of course, he still would not let Zhu Aola take great risks to rescue Fei Zhen'e.

But this cannot be said directly.

Hao Guangming then said: "Rescuing her requires long-term planning. In short, you must not be able to go now. It is too dangerous and the hope of rescuing her is too small."

After hearing this, Zhu Ailao couldn't help but pursed her lips and clenched her hands.

After a while, she reluctantly let out a breath and said in a low voice: "I know."

There was another moment of silence.

Hao Guangming suddenly asked: "Do you want to take a bath?"

Hao Guangming didn't ask if he was okay, but when he asked Zhu Aolao, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if his whole body was stained with blood, so he nodded, "Yeah."

"I'll get you hot water."

···

The Dashun officer who was responsible for guarding Zhu Ya'a and Fei Zhen'e was the sentry commander. He came with the messenger to plead guilty to Li Zicheng, but he couldn't tell how Zhu Ya'a escaped.

Li Zicheng was so angry that he was whipped three times.

"Well, I can't believe that a living person can disappear!"

After taking out the sentry officer, Li Zicheng wanted to get on his horse and go back to the camp to check it out for himself.

Li Yan quickly stopped him.

"Your Majesty, all the troops, horses and siege equipment of each battalion are now in place. We only need to wait for His Majesty's orders to attack the inner city.

How could His Majesty delay such a critical and important moment for the disappearance of a woman?"

After hearing this, Li Zicheng's face became even more ugly, and he stared at Li Yan with one eye, "That is Princess Ming, not an ordinary woman!"

Li Yan frowned and wanted to persuade him again.

Niu Jinxing next to her rolled her eyes and then made a sound.

"Your Majesty, what Grand Scholar Li said is true. Now all the officers and soldiers are waiting for Your Majesty's order to attack the city. They can rest in the inner city tonight. There is really no time to delay.

It is better to let Grand Scholar Li go back to the camp to investigate the disappearance of the princess. I think with Grand Scholar Li’s intelligence, he will definitely get a result after His Majesty’s victory.”

Compared with Li Yan's words, Niu Jinxing's words undoubtedly sounded much more pleasant to the ears.

At this time, Li Zicheng had calmed down a little, and felt that the attack on the city should not be delayed because of Zhu Yuluo's disappearance, so he nodded and said: "Okay, Li Qing will go back to the camp to investigate the matter. He must find out how the princess escaped and how she escaped again."

Where have you gone?"

Li Yan vaguely felt that Niu Jinxing rarely "supported" him this time, not only because the siege could not be delayed, but also because he might have wanted to drive him away.

In this way, the battle of Dingding, which was about to break through the inner city and enter the Ming Dynasty Palace, would have nothing to do with Li Yan.

It won't be his turn to talk about his merits later.

But he couldn't object.

He doesn't want to stay here and strive for credit.

So he immediately took the order and left.

Returning to the camp, Li Yan found that the tent where the prisoners were detained was still surrounded by a group of soldiers.

When he came to the tent door, he asked: "Have you found Princess Ming?"

The leader of the team said: "We have searched this camp but have not found it. General Dang has just led people to search for it in other camps."

"Is Fei Zhen'e still in this tent?"

"exist."

"Who else has been here before?" Li Yan asked again.

Guan Dui said: "After discovering that Princess Ming Dynasty was missing, General Dang came here, and Gaofu...the Queen also came here."

Li Yan nodded and immediately entered the tent.

Then he saw Fei Zhen'e being tied tightly to a pillar. She gave him a cold look and then turned away her head.

Beside another pillar, hemp rope fell to the ground in circles, which looked a bit strange.

However, Li Yan didn't think much about it at first. Instead, he looked at Fei Zhen'e and asked, "Do you know who rescued the princess?"

In Li Yan's view, it was impossible for Zhu Yuluo to escape on his own, and someone must have rescued him.

When breaking into the camp, the Ming Dynasty surrendered its generals and many soldiers. Maybe some of them were still loyal to Zhu Ming, or they were simply spies and spies of the Ming army.

"I don't know." Fei Zhen'e said indifferently.

Li Yan noticed that there was blood on the corner of Fei Zhen'e's mouth, and her clothes were torn. It was obvious that she had been tortured before.

After pondering for a while, Li Yan said: "She was rescued, but she didn't take you with her. It shows that she doesn't care about your life, so why do you need to hide it for her? Just tell me who saved her, and I will ask

Your Majesty, please spare your life."

Fei Zhen'e frowned, but her voice remained indifferent, "I said, I don't know."

Li Yan sighed, "It's really stubborn."

Fei Zhen'e sneered, "I think you seem to be a scholar, but I didn't expect that you would hang out with these evil ghosts. It's really a waste of time to read the books of saints."

It was rare for Li Yan to argue with a woman, but instead he inspected the tent.

Speaking of which, Li Zicheng wanted to conquer the world when he attacked the capital. Therefore, after conquering the outer city, he did not disturb ordinary people except for some Ming generals and officials who resisted and ransacked their homes.

Therefore, the camp was still set up outside the city, but in order to facilitate the soldiers' coming and going, the camp was chosen near the outer city wall.

The invasion of the army into Beijing was also formalized, and the marching camps were not in a mess, but divided according to the camp head.

The Zhongying camp was where Zhu A'ao and Fei Zhen'e were imprisoned.

It's just that Li Yan looked around the camp in front of him and found no trace of others sneaking in.

This shows that the person who rescued Zhu Yura walked in through the tent door and took Zhu Yura out.

Anyone who can do this is definitely a camp intruder, and he has a lot of power.

However, now that everything has happened, how did the other party make the soldiers outside the camp willing to cover up and lie for him?

The sentry officer even ran the risk of being killed by Li Zicheng using military law.

Moreover, the commander-in-chief and his soldiers acted so naturally that they did not look like they were lying at all...

Li Yan became more and more confused the more he thought about it.

He came out of the camp again, looked at the guard team and the soldiers responsible for guarding her, and asked: "Who placed Princess Ming in this camp? And who sent you to guard her?"

The guard said: "It was all arranged by General Li Laiheng."

Li Laiheng?

Li Yan frowned deeper.

Because he knew that it was absolutely impossible for Li Laiheng to do anything against Li Zicheng.

Li Laiheng came from Haierying and was the second leader of Haierying. He had followed Li Zicheng for many years and was Li Guo's adopted son. He had no reason to rescue Zhu Aona.

After thinking for a while, Li Yan asked again: "Who has been here after Princess Ming was imprisoned here and before she escaped?"

"Only General Dang has come to see us," the team leader replied without hesitation.

Party Shousu?

Li Yan looked thoughtful.

Dang Shousu was an old man from the Lao Eighth Brigade of the Chuang Army. He was trusted by Li Zicheng and often asked him to stay in the old camp. He had nothing to do with the government and was unlikely to rescue Zhu Ailao.

But Li Yan still asked: "Are you subordinates of General Dang?"

This time the management team hesitated for a moment, but still answered "Yes."

Then he added: "Commander Li won't doubt General Dang, right?"

Because Li Yan was more like a military advisor in the role of a military advisor, many soldiers also called him military advisor.

Li Yan smiled when he heard this and said: "How could I doubt General Dang? I was just asking casually."

As he spoke, he paid attention to the expressions of the other soldiers and did not feel anything unusual, so he entered the tent again.

He was really confused.

There is no clue as to how Zhu Yuluo escaped.

Scanning the tent, his eyes fell on the ball of hemp rope again, and this time he noticed even weirder details.
