Jiang Wu felt very nervous after hearing these words.
After hearing the last word "save yourself", my uneasy heart finally calmed down a little.
Self-rescue is also salvation, as long as there is a chance to escape from here!
"Thank you very much. If we can really leave this place, I, Jiang Wu, will never break my promise. From now on, this life belongs to you." Jiang Wu did not swear casually. Anyway, she did not plan to go back to that home.
The woman in front of her is willing to lend a helping hand, so she is her benefactor. What's wrong with staying by her side to repay her kindness?
"What do I want your life for?"
"We'll talk about this later." Wei Yunlan glanced at the other people in the secret room who were showing signs of waking up, and cut to the chase: "It's not appropriate to let you out now, as it would alert the enemy. There will be commotion in the mansion after dark, and we will take advantage of the chaos to open the door of the secret room. If you want to leave, you should prepare yourself before dark."
As he spoke, Wei Yunlan took out a small dagger and a small package of cloud cakes wrapped in oil paper from the space while taking something out of his sleeve, and threw them next to Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up, he rushed over and grasped the dagger tightly in his hand, picked up the oil paper bag on the ground with his other hand, looked up and said gratefully: "Thank you!"
"No need to thank me. Just hurry up and recover your strength. Whether you can escape depends on yourselves." After saying that, Wei Yunlan stood up and took a step back, allowing Suihe to cover the huge stone brick again.
There was only so much she could do.
As for how to prevent the people in the mansion from noticing anything unusual, and whether to mobilize others to escape with him, that was Jiang Wu's own business.
…
In the main courtyard, more than forty young women dressed in light gauze and with graceful figures walked into the house led by Nanny Song and Nanny Sun.
In an instant, this room, which was several times more spacious than an ordinary bedroom, became much more crowded.
The steward standing nearby raised his head and glanced at him, not daring to look any further. He quickly lowered his head and reminded softly, "Master, Nanny Song and Nanny Sun are bringing people over."
Beside the bed, Mr. Cao, who was squinting his eyes and enjoying the beauty's shoulder massage and back patting, opened his eyes and saw the two round-eyed, white-skinned girls with similar looks and petite bodies standing in the first row.
He twirled his beard and said with satisfaction, "Not bad."
A hint of joy flashed across Nanny Sun's eyes, and she quietly touched Nanny Song beside her with her arm.
Nanny Song looked straight ahead and said respectfully, "Master, these 48 people have been trained well. Should we follow the old rules and send half to Zhaiyue Tower and the other half to the north?"
Master Cao's eyes swept across every woman in the room one by one, as if he was looking at which ones were suitable to stay in Zhaiyue Tower and which ones were suitable to be sent to the north.
Seeing Master Cao's eyes lingering for a moment as he passed over the pair of petite sisters in the first row, Nanny Song said, "These two are real sisters, both are still young girls, and have been trained to be very obedient."
"Master, do you think you should keep them in the mansion to serve you?"
When Nanny Sun heard this, she felt that her money was not given in vain, and that it was almost certain that her niece would stay with her.
Sure enough, the master said, "Okay, these two stay."
But before Nanny Sun could completely relax, she heard the master continue, "It just so happens that the distinguished guest who came this morning likes this. Take them downstairs to wash and dress up, and send them directly to the distinguished guest room, just in time to help the distinguished guest get up."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Sun suddenly felt dizzy.
Just as she was about to speak, she was grabbed by Nanny Song. After leaving the room, she said anxiously, "What should I do? How can my two poor nieces serve that..."
"Why not?" Nanny Song interrupted her and said, "That person is someone that even the master has to fawn on. If you serve him well, your two nieces might become successful."
"Oh my dear sister, why didn't you tell me? If I don't serve you well, I might lose my life!" Nanny Sun lowered her voice and said anxiously, "I heard that the distinguished guest was very cruel. Even the wolfhounds he raised had eaten human flesh."
Her two nieces had never seen the world before. What would she do if one of them failed to serve the guest well and annoyed him, and was thrown to feed the two wolfhounds?
"It's fate." Nanny Song sighed and advised, "Instead of making trouble here, you should go and give your two nieces some advice so that they can behave better in front of the distinguished guests."
The courtyard where the distinguished guests live is connected to the main courtyard, but is more luxuriously decorated.
At this time, the sun was setting and it was already dusk when noises were heard in the house.
Two girls who had just come from Zhaiyue Tower in a carriage early in the morning walked out of the house, called the servant who had been waiting at the door, and brought a tray of sobering soup and led the pair of sisters who had been dressed up completely.
No one noticed that at the same time they entered, another figure avoided the four guards guarding the door and quietly sneaked into the house.
Inside the room, on the spacious bed, a burly, dark-skinned man was leaning against the headboard, with a loose robe casually draped over his body, looking quite bohemian.
Seeing the two sisters following the servant in, who were as frightened as frightened little rabbits, the man raised his lips and said in a strange accent, "Old Cao knows what I like."
"Okay, leave the people here and get out."
The servant bowed his head and replied "yes", then quickly retreated.
Qi Xu, who had followed them into the house, took advantage of this opportunity to hide behind the green gauze cabinet in the house.
Through the gap, you can see everything in the house.
When Qi Xu caught a glimpse of the bronze plate with gold patterns hanging on the man's loose belt and the dark patterns embroidered on his inner clothes scattered casually on the bed, his eyes flashed.
This is the totem style commonly used by the Huyan tribe, the most powerful tribe in the North. The man in front of him is a member of the Huyan royal family and the owner of the two wolfhounds.
Although Huangzhou is close to the North Gate, it still belongs to the territory of Dayong within the pass.
How ridiculous it is to allow a northern barbarian royal family to have fun in the territory of Dayong and come and go freely!
The northern barbarian man didn't realize that his every move was under the eyes of others. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sisters up and down. He patted the bed beside him with interest and said, "Come here."
The two sisters lowered their heads and moved over in small steps. Before they could sit down, they were grabbed by the arms forcefully and fell to the left and right of the man.
The pain from their arms being pulled and the impact when they fell made both of them gasp.
The northern barbarian man seemed to enjoy this feeling. He reached inside the bed and pulled out a black leather whip.
The sisters turned pale with fright when they saw this.
Qi Xu, who was hiding in the dark, also changed his expression instantly.
