Once she was sure the guard in the same room was asleep, He San Niang changed into her guard's uniform and went out.
Like the other patrolmen, they walked slowly, heading straight to the room where Peng Ze was being held.
In order to deceive the Tenth Princess and Yan Mo, Queen Dugu did not let Peng Ze go back.
In Queen Dugu's eyes, Peng Ze was Yan Mo's man, and she was afraid that Gu Hui was not sincerely working for her, so she wanted to lock up her lover.
In the eyes of the Tenth Princess and Yan Mo, Peng Ze was a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and not on the same side as Gu Hui. Therefore, they would not suspect anything if Peng Ze did not go out with them.
Peng Ze heard a noise at the window, opened it, and picked up the wrapped stone from the ground.
This piece of paper contains the secret code that Peng Ze taught to the soldiers of the naval camp. Of the three women, only He San Niang understood it.
Therefore, He San Niang replaced the content with symbols.
It looks like scribbles; even if He San Niang had been captured and not yet handed over, no one would be able to discern anything from this piece of paper.
This is also why Gu Hui chose He San Niang to enter the palace instead of Princess Jinghe, as it would be more convenient to send messages.
After reading it, Peng Ze burned the paper.
His injuries had long since healed, except for the external wounds that hadn't been treated and the scars, which he usually had to pretend were internal injuries that hadn't healed.
He had no paper or pen in his room, so he could only recall in his mind the terrain of the Goddess Kingdom that Gu Hui had shown him when the three of them were out there.
If they were to attack from Shennv Mountain, where would be the best hiding place for them?
If they could send a message, then the terrain and defenses of the royal city could also be conveyed.
However, Kuncheng will take action tonight, and sending a message to Jinnan via a roundabout route like before will definitely not be able to catch up.
Peng Ze had a bold idea: to have Gu Hui and the other two go north to Shennv Mountain to deliver a message while they were still undiscovered, so that they would be safer.
He couldn't go with them; if he had, the four of them would probably have been caught before they even left the capital.
As long as he is in the palace, Gu Hui and the other two will be able to leave the royal city smoothly.
There was no paper or pen in the room, so he had no way to convey his thoughts. He was being watched and couldn't go out on his own.
After pondering for about half an hour, Peng Ze decided to take the risk and give it a try.
He blew out the lamp and went to the door.
He heard snoring outside. He took the powder Gu Hui had left for him, pinched his nose, and walked over to the guard. He placed the bottle of powder near the guard's nose, and soon the snoring stopped, replaced by even breathing.
Peng Ze took off the man's coat and put it on himself.
He was tall, and the female guard who watched over him was also a large man, but he still looked a little small in her guard uniform.
At this moment, he didn't have time to think too much. He went outside to the courtyard and followed the route Gu Hui had given him to find He San Niang.
Just then, He San Niang returned to her resting place. Peng Ze imitated a few bird calls, and He San Niang paused and headed towards the direction of the sound.
"General Ze, what are you doing? It's very dangerous," He Sanniang said anxiously.
"He San Niang, listen to me, don't speak. Just do as I instruct you." Time was of the essence, and Peng Ze couldn't care less about anything else. He whispered his thoughts in He San Niang's ear.
After saying that, without waiting for He San Niang to speak, he added, "This is an order, and the three of you must obey. Don't worry about me; I have my own ways to protect myself."
After saying this, Peng Ze turned and walked back.
He San Niang was caught in a dilemma: whether to chase after her or not. In the end, she angrily punched a stone before returning to her room to prepare.
