After the third sister finished explaining her family's situation, her tone became much lighter, and she whispered: "Brother Zhang, there is no need to take risks to save the slave. The slave was forced to become a bitch, and he would have no shame to live. But if he died quietly, if he died quietly,
People who knew me knew about it and thought that I was a bitch. Brother Zhang came and found out about me. When I met my father underground, I was able to say a few words." After saying this, he actually smiled and looked like a bitch.
Magnanimous and without any intention of survival.
Chamberlain was heartbroken when he heard this.
Judging from the information currently available, he has two choices at this time. One is to wait for dawn and bet on whether Atai can dispel his doubts about himself. If he does not show urgency tomorrow, he may be able to escape unscathed.
Because the third sister wanted to continue "fishing", he judged that Atai could not be released. If he raised the redemption price, not only would he not be able to rescue the third sister, but he would be trapped deeper.
The second option was to risk his current hidden identity and take advantage of the bad weather tonight to rescue the third sister. He made some preparations when he came to Gule City, but he was only 30% sure. Coupled with the bad weather at this time, or
It can reach five points.
However, if his identity is exposed and he rescues the third sister, it will directly violate Liu Shouyou's military order. Under the strict family laws of Jin Yiwei, whether he can survive is in doubt.
Wang Gaoruo judged from the third sister's escape that the army was about to attack the city, and it was very likely that he would lead his troops to escape from Gule City, or the military operation would fail. This responsibility was even greater. Can Chamberlain, himself, bear it?
Chamberlain was at war with heaven and man, and his heart was in chaos. He thought for a while that the third sister didn't want to live because she was forced to become a prostitute, so why not fulfill her virginity? For a while, he thought about such a miserable girl. If he, Chamberlain, has a human heart, he can turn her into a prostitute.
Was she left to die in Gule City?
After hesitating for a while, Chamberlain thought that no matter which path he chose, he must first dispel the third sister's desire to die, otherwise his entry into Gule City would be meaningless.
He went down to the window and checked again to see if there was anyone outside. Seeing that the heavy rain was still pouring down and there was water in the courtyard, even if someone sneaked over, he could still hear the sound of treading water, so he felt relieved and left.
Return to the kang.
He took off the gold-covered jade sign worn by a red string around his neck and handed the sign to the third sister.
The third sister didn't know why and asked: "Brother Zhang, what is this?"
Chamberlain whispered: "Sister, you must not give up on yourself. If we can escape, you will never have to call yourself a slave in this life. Your contribution has been heard by heaven. The emperor praised you as a 'wonderful woman'. This is the imperial court
I brought the medal to you specially to confer it on you."
After hearing this, the third sister's hands trembled and she could hardly hold the sign. Chamberlain took the oil lamp over and asked her to look at it carefully under the light.
The girl saw that the sign was made of white jade, with a ring of gold on the outside. A delicate plum blossom was carved in the center of the white jade, and the stamens were extremely delicate. Turning to the back, a dagger was engraved on the handle. There were three lines on the handle of the dagger.
Notch.
Chamberlain said: "This is called the third-class White Jade Plum Blossom Medal. It is specially used by the emperor to commend us military intelligence spies. Those who hold this medal, one, do not kneel before officials as long as they wish; the other two will be considered guilty of a crime, as long as they do not betray the imperial court."
, they will not be subject to shackles, punishments and plunder, and their sentences will be reduced by one level. If the three of them hold this chapter, the court will pay them five taels of silver every month, and they will not have to worry about hunger and despair for life. Now we are the only two royal guards."
After hearing this, the third sister handed the medal to Chamberlain and asked him to hold it up. She knelt on the kang and kowtowed to the tablet. Chamberlain thought she was grateful for the emperor's kindness, so he did as she asked and held up the medal to accept it on the emperor's behalf.
present.
The third sister kowtowed three times, tears streaming down her face, and she cried and asked Chamberlain: "Brother Zhang, I am an orphan, what is the use of these cards? I don't want this brand. Please go back and ask the emperor why these cards are made."
Nian indulged Jianru and killed his people?!"
"With these five taels of silver, can my father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, and my little nephew spend even a penny? I don't want any money. You go back and beg the emperor. As long as this Jianlu is wiped out and killed, I will be there."
Even when I was suffering in the hell of excrement and urine, I was smiling." After saying that, I couldn't help my agitated mood, biting the quilt with the corner of my mouth and sobbing, my tears flowing like the heavy rain outside.
When Chamberlain heard her saying that he would suffer the pain of hell, he knew that she believed in ghosts, gods, and hell - and what kind of mood did such a weak woman have to say this!
As if a barrier had been broken, the last gate in Chamberlain's heart suddenly collapsed, and all the blood rushed to the top of his head. He whispered: "Sister, you don't have to say this, even if my brother dies, he will save you and support you for the rest of his life!"
After hearing this, the third sister looked at him with bright eyes red and swollen from crying. A smile appeared on her beautiful face. It was like a red and pure plum blossom blooming in Chamberlain's eyes. He smiled and touched it.
Her head said: "Don't worry, I will be with you when you die, and you will no longer be a lonely ghost in your lifetime."
Due to heavy rain, the drums in Gule City were still beating, but the banging of bangs had stopped. Chamberlain calculated the time and found that it should have been past midnight. He made up his mind, opened his luggage and took it out
A sheathed short knife, and a poncho of oilcloth on one side and thick cotton on the other.
There was also a long rope and a thick cloth belt in the luggage. Chamberlain took out the cloth belt and said to the third sister: "Sister, lie on my back, come here."
The third sister was originally a young girl. Although she had a desire to die, her desire to die was relieved a lot after receiving Chamberlain's promise. He didn't know how much sacrifice was involved in Chamberlain's decision, and it was a matter of military and national importance.
After hearing this, he put on the tattered robe and straw sandals and climbed on Chamberlain's back.
Chamberlain tied the girl's armpits and buttocks with cloth straps, let her legs wrap around his waist in front of her, and then tied the straps tightly. In this way, her legs were not restricted in any way, and she could run or jump without any problem.
. Stand up and give it a try. I estimate that the third sister only weighs about sixty pounds at most.
Chamberlain walked a few steps in the room, stretched out his hands and feet, returned to the kang and sat down. He wrapped the other useful things in the baggage with the baggage skin and tied it to his chest, blew out the oil lamp and waited.
At this time, there was only the sound of heavy rain in Gule City, and there was no movement at all, not even the sound of dogs barking. When Chamberlain entered Atai's house, he saw that his family did not have a dog - probably even if he had one before, this year
In the summer, when there is a famine, people have to kill and eat meat.
He didn't know if there were any guards patrolling Atai Mansion, but he didn't hear any patrolling footsteps in the middle of the night. Either there weren't any, or they didn't come out because of the heavy rain.
Chamberlain waited quietly for enough time to burn a stick of incense. Hearing the sound of rain getting louder, he told the third sister not to make a sound no matter what.
He pulled out the dagger and bit it in his mouth. He stood up in the dark, covered the two of them with the thick cotton poncho facing out, and tied it tightly in front. He touched the oil lamp, picked it up and walked towards the door.
When he reached the door, he bent down and poured some lamp oil into the door shaft, then stood up and pushed the door open a little.
Because of the lubrication of the lamp oil, the door made no sound when it was opened. Chamberlain carried the girl into the rain and looked by the light of the water. There were no lights in other parts of the Atai Mansion, except for the single lamp in the front gatehouse.
He bent his waist and moved his steps slowly, trying not to make any sound as he stepped on the water. Because the cotton cloth on the poncho absorbed the rainwater, there was only a rustling sound and no tapping sound was heard.
After moving for a long time, Chamberlain finally walked to the concierge. Through the door, he could hear thunderous snoring inside, but there was only one person snoring. Seeing that the window paper had been soaked by the rain, Chamberlain gently opened a small hole and looked inside.
After taking a look, I remembered the position of the gatekeeper.
He poured some lamp oil in his hand on the door shaft of the concierge again, pushed it gently, and found that there was a door latch blocking it. Holding his breath, he took the short knife from his mouth, inserted it into the crack of the door, and slowly opened the door latch.
Push it aside.
It took him a long time to do these things, and his nervous palms became sweaty. With great difficulty, he unlatched the door and finally pushed the door open.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of wind and rain immediately poured into the concierge. The old man guarding the door suddenly stopped snoring and clicked his lips as if he was about to wake up.
Chamberlain jumped forward and accurately found Lao Lu's mouth under the light of the concierge's oil lamp. He pressed it tightly with his left hand and picked up the quilt with his right hand. In the flash of lightning, the short knife had pierced Lao Lu's chest and he accurately found it.
The heart will be killed with one knife.
He pressed Lao Lu's mouth and body hard, and waited until the twitching of his body stopped before slowly letting go. When his hand was released, Lao Lu's suffocated breath came up from his throat, and he let out a light hiccup, which was also caught by the wind and rain.
The sound was covered up.
Chamberlain shook his hand and covered the old prisoner with a quilt to cover up the smell of blood. Then he slowly went out and poured the last part of the lamp oil on the door shafts on both sides of the door.
The door latch was opened from the inside, and Chamberlain finally walked out of Atai's house without much effort this time.
After leaving the door, he turned around and closed it, and stood quietly outside the door for a while, listening to the movement on the street.
After a while, Chamberlain finally moved and carried the third sister on his back towards the section of the city wall he had observed during the day. He knew that the road would be long tonight, but since he had made his choice, he had no regrets!
