When the guard slowly woke up in the dungeon, he found that one of the two prisoners was missing. The remaining one had fallen to the ground like himself. Seeing this, the guard stood up and kicked Yu Wenran, who was also lying on the ground, fiercely, "Get up now!"
In order to make the scene more realistic, Yuwen Ran had also given himself some sleeping pills, but he didn't give as much to the guards. The guard kicked him in the stomach and kicked him more than a meter away. He suddenly bent over and coughed, and woke up.
The guard looked down at Yuwen Ran, stepped on his back, and kept exerting force: "Where is the boy who was imprisoned with you?"
Yu Wenran's face was pale, cold sweat continued to emerge from his forehead, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I... don't know."
"How could you not know?" the guard continued to stomp harder. "Aren't you from the same army?"
"Even couples flee when disaster strikes. Do you expect your colleagues to take me with them when they run into danger? No matter how you look at the situation, I'm the one who stayed behind."
The guard spat at Yuwen Ran and wanted to kick him a few more times to vent his anger, but a guard hurried over from the door and asked, "What took you so long to deliver the meal?"
The guard took a closer look and found that one person was missing from the dungeon, so he pulled the guard inside and went out.
Yu Wenran endured the pain in his body, stood up and walked to the door, holding his breath and listening to their conversation outside the door.
"Why is there one missing?"
"That one accidentally got drugged by him and ran away. If I tell the boss, I'm afraid I'll lose my life."
"That's alright, the boss doesn't have time to deal with this right now. He just brought home a new woman, and she's so pretty. The boss is completely focused on that woman right now, and he doesn't have time to deal with these two stinky men at all."
…
After hearing this, Yu Wenran's pupils shrank slightly and his heart sank.
Not long after Gu Yanyue ran out, news came that the village chief had captured a beautiful woman. Even though Yuwen Ran was a person who didn't like to think too much, he would think that Gu Yanyue might have exposed her female identity and was captured again.
There was already a lack of women in the village, and even more so, a lack of women as beautiful as Gu Yanyue.
After Gu Yanyue escaped, two more guards were placed outside the door to prevent Yuwen Ran from escaping as well.
Yu Wenran lay down with his hands on his chest, looking extremely weak.
They had received orders not to kill anyone, so they came to Yuwen Ran with doubts to check on him. Yuwen Ran's face was as pale as a death, and he was hunched over on the cold ground, shivering. It didn't look like he was pretending.
Unexpectedly, Yuwen Ran suddenly jumped up from the ground, pressed one of the guards' heads to the ground, and hit him on the back of the head with a swift blow of his knife, and the guard fell limply. Yuwen Ran threw him aside, and when another guard came to help, he also hit him on the back of the head and threw him to the ground.
Yuwen Ran stripped off one of the guards' clothes and put them on. He then took a bunch of keys from the guard's waist, turned around and went out, and locked the door again. After he walked out along the road, he stopped a bandit and asked, "Do you know where the new young lady is?"
He smiled at the bandit's suspicious look and continued, "The boss asked me to deliver some things to the new young lady. When the young lady came just now, I was squatting in the toilet for a long time. I don't know where she is."
The bandit believed it, and put his arm around Yuwen Ran's shoulder affectionately, treating him like a brother, and pointed him in the direction with his hand, "It's on the third floor over there. Brother, when you see the young lady later, you must take a few more glances at her, and then come back and describe her to me in detail." Just thinking about it made the bandit feel itchy, but there was nothing he could do because that was the young lady brought back by the boss, and even if he had a hundred guts, he would not dare to touch her easily.
Yuwen Ran agreed on the surface, silently pulled away the bandit's hand on him, and went in the direction the bandit pointed.
I thought to myself: That young lady is my wife. I can describe her to you in detail without even seeing her. I can even tell you whether she has a birthmark or not.
After going up to the third floor and entering the room, I found that Gu Yanyue was locked up inside just as the bandit had said.
As soon as Yu Wenran entered the room, a frightened voice came from inside: "Don't come over!"
"Shh—" Yu Wenran walked over in a low voice, "Ayue, it's me."
Gu Yanyue turned around and saw Yuwen Ran dressed as a bandit. Still not believing what she saw, she stretched out her hand and grabbed at the air, "A Ran?"
Yu Wenran quickly stepped forward, grabbed Gu Yanyue's hand, and brought her to his chest, pressing it firmly. "It's me!"
After seeing that Gu Yanyue was sure that it was him, Yuwen Ran picked her up and said, "We can't stay here for long. I'll take you out first."
Yuwen Ran tiptoed out of the village with Gu Yanyue. Unexpectedly, he ran into the village boss who came to see Gu Yanyue.
The leader of the mountain stronghold was a legendary figure in the Taihang Mountains. His surname was Hu San, and his given name was known as "Third Master." He was one of the first bandits to go up the mountain and become a renowned bandit leader. He later joined forces with the Yan clan of Liuzhou and became a renowned leader in the Taihang Mountains. Even the local government officials had to show respect to him. Many people came to join him because of Hu San's fame.
Yuwen Ran was shocked and put Gu Yanyue down. He said, "Ayue, go quickly," and went forward to fight with Hu San and the bandits in the mountain stronghold.
Gu Yanyue knew that the mediocre kung fu she had learned in modern times could not compare with the martial arts they had learned. Staying would only make her a delay. The only way to rescue Yuwen Ran was to escape as quickly as possible and find the army at the foot of the mountain.
She took advantage of the fact that all the people in the village had been transferred to the small building by Hu San and ran all the way down the mountain.
Perhaps it was God's will that saw her so many bad lucks, so he finally let her have some luck this time. After she ran out of the mountain stronghold, she ran into Du Yuhou and his men who came up the mountain to look for her and Yuwen Ran.
When the chief officer saw Gu Yanyue, he hurried over with his men and said, "I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Gu Yanyue waved her hand, "No need to be so polite, Lord Yu."
Du Yuhou looked behind Gu Yanyue and found that she was really the only one there. He was startled and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, where is His Majesty?"
Gu Yanyue calmly explained the current situation: "Your Majesty is still in the mountain stronghold. I wonder how many people the chief guard has brought up the mountain this time?"
Du Yuhou: "I have only a few hundred people with me."
"Then let's do this for now..."
Gu Yanyue explained the plan in detail to Du Yuhou. Du Yuhou assigned three men with high martial arts skills in the team to Gu Yanyue, bowed to her, and said, "Take care, Your Majesty!" Then he took his men down the mountain to find the army.
