She thought that he must be planning to give it to her after returning to Tianqi.
"Are you sure?"
The second prince handed the beads in his hand to Princess Xitong.
Princess Xitong's thoughts were pulled back by his voice. She took the beads, lowered her eyes and looked at them, saying:
"This must have been left by the general to guide us. The general must still be alive. Let's look for other beads."
The Second Prince nodded and called the soldiers over, "Let's search together to see if there are any other beads."
Just as Princess Xitong said, the group walked for a distance and indeed found another bead.
In this way, everyone continued to search for beads along the way until they were led to a valley.
They stood on a high place and looked down, and could only vaguely see that the open space at the bottom of the valley was filled with tents.
The tent was guarded by people dressed in linen clothes and dressed as ordinary people.
"Second Prince, the general is probably in the tent."
If not, why have someone guard it?
I think there must be important people or things locked up inside.
The Second Prince glanced at the people below him and said to Xitong in a low voice, "If the general is really in their hands, we can only outsmart them."
Otherwise, once they are exposed, General Jin will be taken hostage.
"Second Prince, you stay here with the soldiers. I will go alone to explore what is in the tent."
It's easy to be exposed when there are too many people around, so it's easier for her to sneak in alone.
"No, I'll go."
After all, he is a man, so how could he let Xitong take risks?
As the two were talking, a soldier stepped forward.
"I have a plan."
A familiar voice sounded, and the Second Prince looked at Du Shuyan, who was smiling as she walked towards him, in astonishment. He asked in surprise, "Ayan, why are you here?"
He had been waiting anxiously at the city gate that day, but he didn't see A Yan coming to see him off. Unexpectedly, A Yan had been following them.
"Luo'er said I can disguise myself and asked me to follow you so that I can help you if you want to sneak into the enemy camp."
When Luo'er went to find her that day, she was about to ask to go with His Highness, but Luo'er came to her first and said directly that she could go with His Highness.
"Then why don't you explain it to me clearly? You must be exhausted from the journey."
"I'm not tired. I rode a horse. If I explain this to Your Highness, will you still allow me to come?"
Du Shuyan said this and took out his disguise tools.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. The most urgent thing is to see if it is General Jin in the tent."
The longer it drags on, the more dangerous General Jin will be.
Xitong walked up to Du Shuyan and said, "Thank you, Second Prince Consort. Please help me change my appearance."
"Let the general go," Du Shuyan explained quickly when she saw Xitong wanted to say something, "Princess Xitong, you are petite and it's easy for you to be seen through."
Du Shuyan said this after careful consideration, and Princess Xitong did not refute it.
"Then wait for the Second Prince to sneak in. We'll wait outside. If something goes wrong, the Second Prince will give us a signal and I'll lead the men in."
The three of them discussed and secretly approached the edge of the valley with their soldiers. They arranged for the soldiers to surround the valley exit. Xitong lowered his voice and said, "I'll go lure someone over and disguise myself as that person."
After saying that, Xitong picked up a stone, walked to the edge of the valley, stuck his head out and threw the stone. The stone hit the stone wall, making a crisp sound that echoed in the valley.
"who."
The man who was closer to the valley entrance raised his chin to the person next to him and said, "You, go and see what's going on."
The man he was ordering yawned, looking reluctant.
"It's just a small rock that fell from the top of the valley. What's the big deal?"
"You should go if you're told to. We've told you to keep a close eye on the people in the tent. Otherwise, if they get lost, will you be held responsible?"
The man didn't move, and said with a curled lip: "We are not on the main battlefield here, there is nothing to worry about."
The people of Tianqi didn't know that their general was imprisoned here, so how could they come here?
"Hurry up, there's so much nonsense."
The man who ordered him kicked him unhappily and said, "You ruined the master's business, and you don't want your family's lives?"
The man rubbed his kicked knee and walked out of the valley cursing.
After looking around and finding nothing unusual, he turned around and planned to walk back to the valley. Xitong saw the right moment, raised his hand and chopped him unconscious with a knife, and moved him to the grass nearby.
He quickly stripped the clothes off the refugee and handed them to the Second Prince, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
The Second Prince took off his outer robe, took the linen shirt and put it on while saying, "Saving General Jin is the most important thing. There is no need to complain."
After the second prince changed his clothes, Du Shuyan changed his appearance based on the appearance of the homeless man who was knocked unconscious on the ground.
"Your Highness, be careful when you go in. Signal if you are in danger."
The second prince nodded, walked out of the bushes and headed towards the valley entrance.
The man who was about to come out to see why he had been gone for so long saw him and said unhappily, "I asked you to check on the situation, so why did you take so long?"
The Second Prince changed his tone and said with an apologetic smile, "I went to relieve myself, there's nothing unusual."
The man glanced at him without saying a word, and walked to the side of the tent he was guarding and stood there.
The Second Prince, after observing the positions of the people in the valley, walked towards the man in a flattering manner and asked for conversation: "When are we having dinner?"
"Didn't you just eat? Are you a glutton?"
"Really?" The second prince approached him and knocked him unconscious by raising his hand to put it on his shoulder.
The man didn't even have time to shout before his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.
The Second Prince quickly grabbed him and shouted, "Help, help! Someone has fainted."
When the others heard the shouting, they looked at each other and walked over here.
Because the only exit of the valley was right in front of them, they were not worried that someone could sneak in under their noses, so they all walked over.
"What's going on?"
A rather burly man walked out with a sullen face. The others made way for him, looking very afraid of him.
"He fainted."
The second prince counted the number of people inconspicuously, made sure everyone was present, raised the corners of his lips, and put his hands into his sleeves.
"He fainted and was woken up by pouring a basin of water on him. Why are you yelling?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he inhaled all the drugs released by the second prince into his nose, and only the sound of "bang bang" was heard.
Everyone around fell to the ground in a mess.
The second prince patted the powder on his hands and thought that Mu Xue’s drug was really powerful.
After confirming that these people had been knocked unconscious, the second prince quickly walked towards the largest tent in the center.
There was no one outside the tent and it was very quiet.
He opened the tent door and entered. A strong smell of blood hit him in the face. He looked up at the center of the tent and saw a man covered in wounds tied to a chair.
He walked forward a few steps, parted the hair, and saw the face clearly. Who else could it be but Jin Ting'an?
