Chapter 305: Shackled
Su Shengsheng looked at the "customized" bracelet installed on her ankle.
Originally, she planned to use the ingredients to make something to help them out of trouble.
But I dare not attract attention, so I can only accumulate it bit by bit.
In addition, the wounded soldiers have not yet recovered, making it difficult for them to travel.
But who would have thought that a regent would actually handcuff her as if he was afraid that she would run away!
Don’t you think it’s too harsh on a pregnant woman?
Does she look like she can run now?
But why did Mr. Rabbit lock someone up so suddenly?
For some reason, Su Shengsheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
But then she shook her head.
Impossible, how could Xie Xuan come back so soon...
"Madam..." Several wounded soldiers whose injuries had recovered a little glared at Tuoba Ye with self-blame and hatred.
But they were seriously injured and had no power to resist.
After the people who had installed the iron chains left, Tuoba Ye walked back with satisfaction and said to Su Shengsheng, who looked thoughtful, "I want to see how far he can give up for you."
Su Shengsheng sneered. She was unable to move easily and saw the ferret under her feet, who seemed to be laughing at her along with his master.
Without saying a word, he grabbed its tail, drew a circle around it and threw it out the window.
Because she couldn't stand the smell of meat, Tuoba Ye endured it at first.
But he couldn't reveal her presence, so he had to come and "study" in person.
Every time this happened, she would cover her nose and ask him to stay away.
Over time, it turns into disgust.
Perhaps his self-esteem was hurt, or he couldn't stand her pretentiousness, so Tuoba Ye got a new favorite.
A poison gas bomb would come from time to time.
Of course, that's on the premise that she won't piss him off.
These days, she has been tolerating him so that the wounded soldiers can have good medicine.
But at this moment...
At a glance, it was a pet that lay on Mr. Rabbit's neck all day, acting as a ferret's neck guard.
With the posture of a dog chewing mud, he fell accurately into the pile of new snow that had fallen under a tree due to the wind.
He looks so dizzy that he almost looks like he's wearing a real scarf.
Tuoba Ye had witnessed her arrogance.
She wasn't afraid that he would just put her in jail.
The two men exchanged glances in the air. They themselves were not very good, but the two sides confronted each other very nervously.
After a moment, Tuoba Ye retracted his gaze and said, "You will be allowed to rest tonight."
Are you so kind?
Su Shengsheng watched Tuoba Ye leave with a normal expression.
But the waves in my heart could not be stopped after all.
She was in another courtyard and had no idea about the outside world.
Mr. Rabbit was deliberately concealing the truth, and looked as if he would never let her have a chance to escape no matter how she struggled.
Even if she wanted to ask him, it would be useless.
It would be better to save some energy and figure out how to unlock it.
A combination lock?
After some research, she finally figured it out.
But this is a 360-degree iron lock with no blind spots!
Damn it.
The other end is still chained to the beam...
Even if she wanted to dig deep into the ground to find the other end of the iron lock, it would be difficult.
You can't just collapse the house, right?
The three soldiers pondered over the eight-meter-long thin iron chain, and finally carried out Xiao Pan, whose ancestors were blacksmiths.
"This... must be forged from fine iron or stone. Without a suitable key, it's impossible to pry open the keyhole."
The iron lock made of fine iron exuded a cold aura.
The lock body is made of high-quality iron that has been repeatedly hammered. Its surface is as smooth as a mirror and each ring is interlocked.
The iron chain was as thick as a candle, and each link was very tight. At first glance, I was captivated by the cold dark color.
But no matter how they pried with a sharp blade or smashed with heavy objects, they could only leave shallow marks on the chain.
Looking at the iron chain that was so tightly fastened that there was nowhere to start, everyone couldn't help but feel despair.
"Madam, it is us who have implicated you."
The man who was as tall as a mountain began to cry.
He joined the army with a rough and unruly spirit, and never shed a tear no matter how badly he was injured.
Except for my parents who died innocently in the massacre.
But today, seeing Tuoba Ye using such a creepy thing to lock up Su Shengsheng.
Yang Tang suddenly couldn't help it.
Before they were kidnapped, the lady was able to fight the regent on equal terms and occupy his bedroom.
But ever since I came here, I have been threatened by that man all the way.
Not only could they not save her, they also had to watch Tuoba Ye treat his wife harshly.
"Why is a grown man crying?" Su Shengsheng did not comfort him. She had never seen such a strong man cry.
Xie Xuan doesn't count, he's really not as strong as this guy.
She circled around the beam for a while, but had to give up.
Although that place is relatively hidden, if there is no object to cover the corroded objects, they will be damaged along with the beams.
The quickest way to destroy this unbreakable structure is to let the iron rust.
But Tuoba Ye comes here every day, so they have to do it away from people.
Su Shengsheng took a candle from the side and found the section between the bottom and the top that was rubbing against the ground.
First, use a candle to pour wax drops on the two sections next to it to protect the refined iron from large-scale corrosion, so that Tuoba Ye can notice it.
When the others saw her move, they gathered around in an instant.
In fact, they have always been in awe of Princess Xuanming, who had only been mentioned in rumors but whose methods had never been witnessed with their own eyes.
Seeing her like this at this moment, it was clear that she had a solution.
To appease everyone, Su Shengsheng explained as she worked, "Anyone with ironware at home is most afraid of rust because it can easily damage the ironware. We just need to speed up the process and we can solve this problem of fine iron."
The principle of thermal expansion and contraction is easy to explain.
After the soldier took the candle from her hand, Su Shengsheng took out an alcohol lamp and heated the area where there was no candle liquid dripping.
Then ask someone to bring cold water to water it. If there is no cold water, melt the snow outside or the icicles outside the window.
Conditions were limited, but fortunately she was provided with food and drink.
If she asked them to stop working for a day, they would have to stop as well.
Although she wondered why Tuoba Ye gave her time to rest tonight, she still took advantage of this free time to cause trouble.
After observing for many days, I have basically figured out the shift changes in the Regent's Palace.
But unexpectedly, today there is another layer...
Su Shengsheng looked outside and blew a breath through the window.
The cool white mist instantly drifted towards the cold wind that cut like a knife.
In this kind of weather, even if they break through, it will be difficult for them to survive...
While she was racking her brains, the others were taking turns making the joints of the chains expand and contract with heat and cold.
After a while, there were slight changes.
Several people looked delighted, but didn't dare to speak loudly, "Madam, it really works."
Su Shengsheng sighed and closed the window.
Due to limited conditions, she could only use some acidic water samples to continuously accelerate the oxidation process.
But this is a big project after all, and if you are not careful, it will be discovered.
If only I had a key...
You can't really tear down the house, right?
Su Shengsheng looked up again.
Even if she could tear it down, there was still a way to make the house stand, but she couldn't run with such a heavy chain. Thinking about that scene, it was funny.
