Consort Mu was secretly imprisoned by the Northern Frontier Guards in a secluded dungeon. The surroundings were dark, with only the faint light from the torches on the walls. She was dressed in magnificent palace attire, and despite her predicament, she maintained her noble bearing.
Ruan and Mu looked around, their minds racing as they considered an escape plan. "I must find a way to get out of here."
She noticed that the dungeon guards seemed to change shifts every so often, which might be her chance to escape.
Consort Mu murmured to herself, her tone firm, "I will wait for the right opportunity, and once it arises, I will act."
She began to observe the guards' behavior patterns, looking for clues.
Consort Mu noticed the negligence during the shift change and made a plan in her mind: "Now is the time."
In the chaos of the guards changing shifts, Consort Mu quickly took off her gorgeous palace dress, grabbed a nearby guard, twisted his neck, and before he could even shout, he was gone.
Ruan and Mu quickly stripped the man naked outside the iron bars, took out the key, opened the door, dragged the body inside, covered it with weeds, and used the shadow of the torches to conceal their actions.
Consort Mu silently told herself, her tone calm, "I must be careful not to arouse suspicion."
She imitated the way the bodyguards walked, trying her best to look like an ordinary bodyguard.
Consort Mu carefully calculated each step in her mind as she moved cautiously toward the dungeon exit. "Every step must be taken with care."
As Consort Mu approached the exit, a real bodyguard noticed her.
The guard looked at Consort Mu with suspicion. "Who are you? I've never seen you before."
Consort Mu quickly regained her composure and responded in a calm yet authoritative tone, "I am new here, in charge of overseeing the security of the dungeon. You don't need to know who I am."
The guards were intimidated by Consort Mu's imposing presence and did not press the matter further.
Consort Mu breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward, saying, "I'm almost there."
The guard frowned, then suddenly turned to look at her waist, clearly not believing it. "Newly transferred? How come I didn't receive any notification? Besides, I've been with so many women, and you clearly have a woman's scent about you."
Consort Mu realized the situation was dire and she needed to act immediately. She suddenly turned and tried to leave quickly, saying, "I have an urgent mission; I don't have time to explain."
But the guards were faster; they quickly grabbed Consort Mu's arm, preventing her escape. Ruan and Mu wanted to exchange a few blows with them, but they outnumbered them, and they couldn't reveal their martial arts skills now, otherwise it would hinder their second escape.
The guard grabbed him tightly, his tone stern, "Don't even think about running! Come back with me!"
Consort Mu struggled, but the guards were too strong, and she couldn't break free. She was anxious, but knew she was powerless to change anything. "Let me go! You barbarians!"
An angry undercover officer stepped forward and slapped her across the face. Someone nearby quickly came to remind him, "Stop! What are you doing? His Majesty only ordered us to take the person back. This will be our bargaining chip in the war between the two armies. Don't hurt her, especially that face that makes King Qi so distressed!"
He provocatively reached out to touch Ruan Yu Mu's face, but Ruan Yu Mu spat in his face instead.
"Lock him in there, now! You slut, I spit on you!"
"You filthy thing, how dare you insult me! I am Consort Mu of the Great Qi Kingdom! Let me go, let me go!"
The guards ignored her cries and took her back to the dungeon. The dungeon door closed again, and Consort Mu's escape plan failed.
Ruan and Mu were taken back to the dungeon, their hearts filled with disappointment and anger. "Although I have failed, I will not be defeated."
She sat in the cold corner of the dungeon, contemplating her next escape plan. Despite the setback, her determination to escape remained undiminished.
In a desolate area of the northern frontier, a small army of the Qi Kingdom was carefully searching for any trace of Consort Mu. They had been searching for several days, but found nothing but the vast wilderness and the howling wind.
The army captain stood on a rock, surveying his surroundings, his voice tinged with anxiety, "We still haven't found any clues. Where exactly was Consort Mu taken?"
A soldier shook his head, looking somewhat dejected. "Captain, we've searched the entire area, but we haven't found a trace of them."
Another pointed to some marks on the ground, "Look here, these hoofprints are very fresh, probably left by the enemy." The captain walked over and examined them carefully, his brow furrowed. "These hoofprints are indeed very fresh, but where do they lead? We need more clues."
The captain ordered the soldiers to continue tracking the hoofprints, hoping to find some useful information.
The army captain told his soldiers firmly, "We cannot give up. Consort Mu's safety is of paramount importance. Continue the search and do not overlook any clues."
The soldiers nodded and continued their careful search in the wilderness.
Suddenly someone pointed into the distance and said, "Captain, look over there, what's that?"
All eyes turned to the direction the soldier was pointing, where a wisp of smoke rose on the distant horizon.
A glimmer of hope flashed in the army captain's eyes. "That might be the enemy's camp. Let's go take a look."
The small army quickly advanced towards the direction of the wisp of smoke, hoping to find clues about Consort Mu.
The army captain pondered to himself, his tone tinged with unease, "I hope we can find Consort Mu. Time is running out. I don't want us soldiers to die not on the battlefield, but for disobeying the Emperor's orders."
However, when they arrived at the place where the smoke was rising, they found it was just an abandoned camp with no clues about Consort Mu.
Little did they know they were a step too late; the Northern Frontier's secret guards were advancing rapidly, hoping to reach their base camp as soon as possible.
The army captain stood in the camp, looking at the surrounding ruins, his heart filled with disappointment. "This place has been abandoned. We have lost track of Consort Mu once again."
"Captain, we will not give up, we will definitely find Consort Mu."
The army captain nodded, his heart filled with disappointment, but his resolve remained firm: "Yes, we cannot give up. Consort Mu is still waiting for us to rescue her; we must continue our search."
Led by their captain, the small group continued their search in the wilderness. Despite the slim chances of success, their determination remained undiminished.
