Chapter 458 Escape
Because of the assassination of Zatai and Baru, the Mobei military camp was in chaos. All military doctors gathered in the two tents to provide emergency treatment.
Xiao Shu's tent stood alone in the snow, as if it had been abandoned.
Lin Feng poured kerosene into the tent, took out a fire starter and blew it up, then turned around and asked, "Are you ready?"
Lin Xue and Lin Yue nodded with tears in their eyes.
The three stood in front of the bed, looking at Xiao Shu and Lin Hua lying on the bed, with a firm look of fearlessness.
"Princess, Lin Hua, we are here." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he used the fire starter in his hand to ignite the mattress.
"Boom--" The mattress soaked with kerosene instantly burst into flames and burned violently.
Lin Feng smiled at Xiao Shu and Lin Hua in the firelight, then turned and walked towards the door of the tent.
If they burned down the tent, the five of them could die together without suffering in vain.
Lin Feng walked to the door, and when the fire starter in his hand was about to touch the tent, the tent was suddenly opened from the outside.
"Who!" Lin Feng was shocked and frightened.
A Mobei soldier flashed into the tent, put his finger in front of his mouth, and signaled them to be quiet.
"Don't shout, I'm here to help you." The soldier said in a low voice.
Lin Xue and Lin Yue walked over quickly, and the three of them looked at the newcomers with vigilance.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The person standing in front of them was from Mobei, how could he help them?
The soldier said, "I am the Fourth Prince's man. There is chaos in the army now. I can help you escape."
Escape...
The three were stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Why do you want to help us? What is your purpose?"
The soldier said, "According to the order of the Fourth Prince, we are looking for an opportunity to break the alliance between the First Prince and Nanyan."
The three looked at each other and were still skeptical.
It would be great if they could escape alive, but what about the princess and Lianhua?
They would be sad and helpless if they didn't see them on the road to the underworld.
They died so tragically, how could they break their promise and leave them alive.
The three turned around and looked at the bed with flames jumping,
"My ability is limited. I can only save one person. Who of you will leave?"
"Hurry up and decide. If you don't leave, you will have no chance." The soldier looked behind him and urged.
Hearing this, Linfeng took a deep breath and said as if relieved: "You two decide who will go. I will stay to accompany the princess and Linhua."
"No, you go, we will accompany the princess and Linhua." Linxue and Linyue held each other's hands, their faces full of determination.
Among the three of them, Linfeng has the best physique and the strongest ability. She also knows some martial arts, which makes it easier for her to escape.
"You..." Linfeng looked at them in astonishment.
"Let's go quickly, escape back to Nanyan and tell the prince what the eldest prince did to the princess, and avenge the princess."
Linxue took the fire starter from Linfeng's hand, and Linyue pushed her out.
"Let's go!" The soldier grabbed Linfeng's hand in a panic and dragged her into the night.
The cold wind blew in her face, and Linfeng staggered and looked back.
The tent was on fire, and the raging fire surrounded the entire tent.
Pity the snow, pity the moon...
Pity Feng shouted silently in her heart, and tears flowed silently.
The soldiers took Pity Feng and shuttled skillfully in the military camp, successfully avoiding the patrolling soldiers, and brought Pity Feng to the rear service camp, letting her hide in the wooden barrel on the cart. The
barrel was filled with gnawed sheep and cattle bones. After Pity Feng squatted in, the soldiers poured a lot of bones into it and covered Pity Feng.
Every morning, the rear service camp would transport the bones out of the camp and dump them far away from the military camp to feed the wolves.
The soldiers asked Pity Feng to wait patiently and not make any noise. When the time came, he would send her out of the military camp.
Linfeng stayed in the wooden barrel and could vaguely hear the noise in the military camp.
She thought of Linxue and the others and burst into tears.
She didn't want to live alone, but wanted to tell Xiao Lin about Zatai's bestiality.
After an unknown amount of time, Linfeng cried herself to sleep. When the cart moved slowly, she suddenly woke up.
Linfeng pricked up her ears and listened vigilantly to the movement outside.
The cart went out of the military camp unimpeded, and after a long distance, it stopped behind a mound.
"Come out." The soldier opened the lid of the barrel, picked up the bones on top, and helped Linfeng out.
Linfeng looked around and saw a faint white light.
It was not yet daylight, so it was not very clear.
She was from Nanyan, and was unfamiliar with Mobei. She had just fled in a hurry and did not bring any money with her. How could she return to Nanyan?
Just as Linfeng was thinking, a group of people appeared in her sight.
Linfeng subconsciously tightened her body and was full of vigilance.
"Don't be afraid, we are our people, escorting you back to Nanyan." The soldier explained in time.
Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
While waiting, she asked the soldier: "Are the eldest prince and General Baru dead?"
The soldier said: "General Baru is dead, and the eldest prince was rescued."
When Linfeng heard this, her heart sank instantly.
What a pity, Zatai is not dead!
Soon, the team of soldiers arrived, and the soldiers whispered, "Okay, let's go."
It was dawn. After checking the burned tents, the Mobei Army found that one of Xiao Shu's personal maids was missing. Zatai would definitely be suspicious and order a thorough search.
Lianfeng understood this, and although he was heartbroken, he did not dare to delay any longer. He got on his horse and left quickly.
After seeing Lianfeng off, the soldiers carried the empty buckets back to the barracks.
Zatai woke up when it was dawn.
When he heard his subordinates report that one of Xiao Shu's maids was missing and could not be found after searching the entire barracks, Zatai was furious.
"A bunch of rubbish, they can't even take care of a maid, go find her quickly! Ahem..."
The wound was injured due to the rage, and Zatai covered his chest and coughed in pain.
The military doctor hurriedly advised: "Prince, calm down, don't get angry, take care of your health."
The knife stabbed Zatai in the chest last night, but Xiao Shu was inexperienced and lacked strength, so the stab was not deep enough, allowing Zatai to save his life.
As for Balu, he was not so lucky.
Lianhua was a maid, and she usually served Xiao Shu and did various chores. Naturally, her strength was greater than Xiao Shu.
In addition, Balu was deeply poisoned and had no power to resist. After she stabbed twice, she was killed by the guards who rushed into the tent after hearing the noise, otherwise she would have continued to stab.
The two knives stabbed Baru's heart, and he
died immediately. The military doctors worked together to treat him for half the night, but it was in vain. Fortunately, they rescued Zatai, otherwise the commander-in-chief and the general would have died at the same time. The army of more than 200,000 would have been in chaos without a leader.
Zatai suppressed his surging anger, and after calming down, he said: "She must have gone to Nanyan. You lead people to chase her yourself. You must not let her return to Nanyan."
"Yes." The subordinate took the order and left.
Zatai recalled what happened last night and gnashed his teeth in hatred for Xiao Shu. Even if the person was dead and burned to no human form, he could not get rid of his hatred.
"Throw their corpses to feed the wolves! Kill all the Nanyan guards and feed them to the wolves together." Zatai ordered in a fierce voice.
"Yes!" The guards obeyed the order.
A few days ago, Xiao Shu's guards fought with Zatai's guards and were detained. Although they were not involved in the incident last night, they were also implicated. After
dealing with Xiao Shu and everyone related to her, Zatai felt a little relieved and took the medicine handed over by the military doctor and drank it all.
