Chapter 89: Taking advantage of the chaos to escape
After the farce was over, Li Tianzhuo and Xiu Ming were taken away by the Sun brothers to rest; Deng Youning and Ying Shi were taken away and detained.
They have successfully infiltrated the village.
The place where the women were imprisoned was similar to a huge cave, with tight guards around it and no airtight access.
"Go in and be quiet!"
Those guards had no mercy on women at all. When they reached the entrance of the cave, they pushed the two of them inside and ignored them all.
Deng Youning was a little confused. Were they allowed to walk in by themselves?
Yingshi looked at her and felt that she might be in danger.
But Deng Youning doesn't think so.
Just now, Mr. An also said that he wanted me, so the Crazy Lion Village would definitely not kill me.
The two walked in side by side, and vaguely heard the timid cries of the women.
After passing through a narrow tunnel, there was a wide open space with oil lamps lit, which was very bright. Seven or eight young girls were squatting timidly inside, each of them was as beautiful as a flower.
In the corner, there were seven or eight sets of bridal gowns, probably prepared for them.
The master and servant squatted down beside the girls, untied the ropes on each other, and took out the cloth from their mouths.
"Are you all the people from Bianyang who were kidnapped by bandits?"
Yingshi asked a few people tentatively.
Everyone seemed to be frightened and didn't say anything, just nodded.
"What's with those wedding dresses?"
This is Deng Youning’s focus.
Li Tianzhuo had previously told them about the wedding procession he saw in the forest outside Bianyang that night.
So, she thought these women might be related to the wedding procession.
The Crazy Lion Village used this method to send all the captured women to the big shot above them.
No one answered Deng Youning's question.
They were all daughters of ordinary families. They were suddenly abducted here by a group of robbers, treated rudely, beaten, scolded and detained. They were so scared that they almost lost their souls.
It’s good enough that I can still stay awake now!
Fortunately, Deng Youning was well prepared and brought calming incense with her, so she was not searched when she was taken into custody.
She lit the incense and, since no one was around, let everyone smell the scent and relax.
Everyone gradually fell asleep in the fragrance.
It seemed that everyone had a sweet dream that night.
Deng Youning was also wondering why he met someone from Qianji Pavilion? !
*
During the day, sunlight can shine in through the cave, and it is bright without lighting an oil lamp.
At some point, a guard came to bring them food.
Deng Youning felt that the food here was pretty good.
Everything is fine except the restriction of freedom.
After dinner, everyone was more relaxed and not as nervous as they were last night. Some girls even started to approach Deng Youning and Ying Shi to talk.
Listening to them talking about their parents and family members, Deng Youning matched their identities one by one.
"You are the youngest daughter of the Xu family who sells spices; you are the wife of the Liang family who owns the restaurant in the east of the city; you are the second wife of Feng the butcher..."
The people they had rescued before had already given them a list of women who had recently gone missing.
Deng Youning kept it all in mind.
"Girl, how do you know us?"
Everyone is very curious about this.
Deng Youning felt that the time had come and he could explain his purpose.
"We are here to rescue you at the orders of your family."
“They miss you so much!”
She gathered everyone together, lowered her voice, and continued:
"Listen, the imperial court has already known about the Crazy Lion Village and has sent the Duke of Zhenguo to suppress the bandits. The Deng family army is all over the mountain."
"Our plan is to take you away when the Deng family army and the people from the Crazy Lion Village start fighting."
The women who had originally given up hope were very surprised when they heard Deng Youning's words.
"If you still want to meet your parents, wait until the Deng family army reaches the mountain and then escape with us."
"But everyone should be mentally prepared in advance. If you run away, you might get hurt, or you might be discovered by these bandits and killed on the spot."
"But if you don't run away, you will surely die!"
"We have received news that Deng Zheng, who is leading the Deng family army this time, will not care about your lives. If the Crazy Lion Village is difficult to attack, he may even do something reckless like setting fire to the mountain."
Deng Youning explained to them all the possible situations that might happen, and the rest depended on their own choices.
Sure enough, the girls gathered together and began to whisper something.
Ying Shi glanced at them worriedly and asked curiously, "Miss, do you think they can be obedient and follow us?"
Deng Youning was not sure, but just said silently: "Everyone has their own destiny, and you can't force it."
But as soon as she finished speaking, everyone came towards them.
The butcher woman who took the lead was quite courageous.
"Excuse me, young lady. You were also captured. How could you lead us to escape?"
Deng Youning raised her eyebrows. Is this a question of her ability?
She curled her lips, picked up a palm-sized stone from the ground, squeezed it hard, and the stone turned into powder instantly.
Everyone was stunned, their eyes almost popped out!
Since they don't believe me, I can only perform a show of breaking the stone with my bare hands.
"I've already told you that I was sent by your parents to save you."
"You don't have to think too much about it. You are just taking money from others and helping them get rid of their misfortunes."
In order to prevent these women from feeling pressured when interacting with him, Deng Youning did not reveal his true identity.
I also don't want them to be too grateful to me after they are rescued.
After all, she is a vicious and evil woman. How could an evil woman save people?
Although hearing what Deng Youning said, the girls didn't believe that she was only after money.
Since the establishment of the Crazy Lion Camp, it has been demanding or robbing large amounts of property from the people under various pretexts.
They all knew that there was not much money left at home.
Moreover, even the maidservants around this young lady wore cloth that ordinary people could not afford, so she was definitely not short of money.
Since she was unwilling to reveal her identity, no one asked.
With her great martial arts skills, it was no problem for her to take care of a few bandits.
Maybe he chose to be captured just to save them!
"Girl, we believe in you and are willing to go with you!" the butcher's daughter took the lead.
"As long as there is still a glimmer of hope to escape, we are not afraid of anything!" Others also responded.
In an instant, everyone was full of fighting spirit.
Deng Youning smiled at them, tore off a piece of cloth, wrote a line of words with an eyebrow pencil, and asked the little snake on her body to send it to Li Tianzhuo.
Seeing that she could easily conjure up a snake, the women were horrified.
The little snake is familiar with the smell of Li Tianzhuo. I hope it will not be beaten to death by the people in the village before it finds Li Tianzhuo!
Li Tianzhuo and Xiu Ming were also busy.
The guards at the mountain stronghold during the day were obviously looser than at night. While the patrols had gone back to their rooms to sleep, Li Tianzhuo and Xiu Ming prepared to go to the top of the mountain to check for a secret passage in the stronghold that could lead directly down the mountain.
The two men first searched outside the house, at the wellhead, under the trees, and in any place they thought was suspicious.
Nothing was found.
"If there really is a secret passage, it will only be in a place they think is the safest and where no one dares to enter!"
"Then it can only be the rooms of the three heads of the family!"
The master and servant discussed in a low voice.
The two of them looked at the three large rooms on the top of the mountain. The rooms of the three brothers and sisters were connected, separated by only a wall.
Li Tianzhuo looked carefully and found that it would save more effort if the secret passage was dug on the side closer to the mountain.
Given how much the two bosses dote on their younger sister, if an accident really happened in the village, they would rather die themselves than not protect the third boss.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be in the third in command's room!" he said with certainty.
Third Master: "What's in my room?"
