The river water was poisonous, and all the pigs and poultry in the nearby villages were dead. It was hard to get a meal of meat. Now, with such a big fat pig dangling in front of them, you can imagine how tempting it was.
"Boss, open the door. Can't the five of us catch a pig?"
"Okay." The guard holding the key responded and quickly opened the door. He forgot to turn the key and hung it directly on the keyhole.
Seeing this, Ji Xun hurriedly came down from the tree and whispered in Shen Yuyu's ear, "They opened the door. Yuyu, you are hiding outside, I will sneak in secretly."
"Okay." Shen Yuhu shook Ji Xun's hand tightly, "Ah Xun, be careful." Ji Xun then sneaked towards the gate.
Several guards came out of the gate and surrounded the big fat pig with greedy faces. The pig was not dead. It felt the danger and ran away. Due to its fat body, it could not run very fast, which made people feel uncomfortable. There was great hope but they couldn't be caught at once, so they were lured away from the gate little by little, chasing them further and further away.
Ji Xun had already sneaked near the gate. As soon as they left, he quickly dodged in and held the entire key to prevent it from making any sound. He then gently turned it off and entered the mine.
The mine is hundreds of acres wide and is filled with piles of iron ore as far as the eye can see. The miners and guards were asleep and it was extremely quiet. Only the torches inserted in the wall made the sound of peeling iron ore.
Occasionally, the hoot of an owl is heard, breaking the silence of the night sky.
After a while, several more nightingale calls were heard over the mine, which was a kind of code in the military camp. Ji Xun put his hands to his mouth, and after calling a few times, there was a response. Over there in the mine, Ji Xun quickly went to The mine was swept away.
The huge mine was filled with miners lying everywhere, sleeping soundly due to exhaustion, but there were seven or eight people standing quietly at the entrance of the cave. Needless to say, the people who could understand this code were all from the "Red Flame Camp" The Night King's old minions.
Ji Xun rushed to the entrance of the cave in a flash, and his eyes suddenly became hot when he looked at these people. These miners, with dirty faces and bruises all over their bodies, were all the generals who once killed enemies side by side with him on the battlefield, and who had shocked the world, and now they were reduced to this. , so heartbreaking.
"Who are you? Who sent you here?" Wang Chang asked in a low voice. Although he felt that this person risked his life and broke in to save them, the sky is high and the emperor is far away here, and General He is a secret After they were sent here, no one knew their whereabouts, so it was difficult to tell whether this person was an enemy or a friend.
"Vice General Wang, Vice General He, and General Lin Shen will go out first!" The eight of them are all familiar faces, and they are all life and death friends who are willing to shield him from swords and arrows on the battlefield, but this is really not a place to reminisce about the past, Ji Xun is anxious Squat down and unshackle their feet.
Seeing that the person who came knew them well, everyone looked at each other in shock. After a moment of confusion, they concluded that they were definitely not enemies and were really here to save them.
Wang Chang was overjoyed and quickly squatted down and whispered, "The key is marked with a number plate. You can open it with the corresponding number plate. I am number 8." As he spoke, he took the key from Ji Xun's hand and opened it quickly. Shackles.
His ankles were bruised to pieces, but he had no time to care. Several people next to him reported their number plates in a well-trained manner, and then moved their feet over. Soon, all eight people's shackles were removed.
"Follow me." Ji Xun took the key and led them quickly to the door.
Just when they were about to reach the entrance of the cave, someone stepped on a piece of ore, and it rolled towards the door. The sound it made was particularly harsh in the silent night.
"Who?" Several guards shouted, and quickly returned here without arresting the pig.
"Quick, lie down." Ji Xun ordered in a low voice, and several people hurriedly fell down on the ore, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"If you are discovered, rush out." Ji Xun whispered, his hand already reaching for the dagger at his waist, while the others touched a sharp piece of iron ore and held it in their hands, listening to the footsteps and voices gradually approaching.
At this moment, a sudden rushing sound flew over the head.
"Chicken, pheasant," the guard exclaimed loudly.
"Sure enough, they are pheasants, three of them. That thing must have made that noise just now. Catch them." The messy footsteps began to go away again.
"Let's go." Ji Xun greeted, and several people quickly rushed to the door. When they left, Ji Xun did not forget to put the key in the keyhole. If they could escape without being discovered, they could escape safely.
Shen Yuyu was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and his heart was beating wildly. Just now the guard heard the noise and returned to the door. In desperation, she hurriedly grabbed three chickens from the space and threw them towards the door. The chickens usually live free-range in the space and can fly very fast. So he flew towards the door and successfully led several guards away.
At this time, Ji Xun and everyone escaped quietly.
Seeing that Ji Xun had brought seven or eight people out, Shen Yuyu was also puzzled, "How many witnesses are needed?" But he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly led them to the river without saying a word.
After they left, several guards finally worked together to catch two chickens and a pig. They happily dragged them into the mine, closed the door, and happily boiled water and killed the chickens and pigs. They did not notice that anyone escaped from the mine.
A few people went down the mountain under the moonlight, and when they arrived at the river, they found a boat parked at the ferry.
"You can go to Dahe Town by boat." Shen Yuyu suggested, "This is faster and safer.'
"Okay." Ji Xun responded, "Yu Yu, you take them on the boat, and I'll ride on horseback to meet you in Dahe Town."
Worried about the pursuers, Ji Xun arranged for Shen Yuyu to take the boat. He paused and added: "Don't worry Yuyu, they are all my life and death friends, and each one of them is a trustworthy person."
As soon as Ji Xun said this, Wang Chang and others recognized him almost immediately, Night King! It must be him!
This news is more exciting and exciting than when they were rescued. His Highness the Night King is still alive! Great! But at this moment, they have no time to express their joy and must escape from here as soon as possible.
"Okay." Of course Shen Yue believed Ji Xun's words. If it weren't for this relationship, how could he risk his life to rescue them?
"Come on, Miss Yu Yu, get on the boat first." Wang Chang was about to reach out and give Shen Yu Yu a hand, but Ji Xun had already carried her on board, "She is your sister-in-law, protect her."
"Yes." Eight people responded in unison!
"Axun, be careful on the road." Shen Yuyu waved to Ji Xun, and the boat quickly started to move and rowed downstream.
After driving for a long distance, everyone's tense nerves gradually relaxed.
"Sister-in-law, when did you and our eldest brother get married?" Wang Chang put his head behind his head with both hands and looked at Shen Yuyu with great respect. "It's been more than half a year." Shen Yuyu answered truthfully.
Everyone silently counted the time and looked at each other in confusion. Didn't you say that His Highness Ye Yan didn't approach women casually? How could he have a 'sister-in-law' so quickly? Tsk, tsk, 'sister-in-law' is 'sister-in-law', which is admirable!
