Chapter 233
Although Captain Zhu's tone was not good, Ling Yu felt that the trip was worthwhile if he could gain Tao Cheng's goodwill.
Tao Cheng sent Ling Yu back and saw that she and Zhang Xiaoyan were locked in a wooden prison, so he told his subordinates.
"Isn't there a vacant house over there in the kitchen? Let them move there!"
The soldier said in embarrassment: "Master Tao, Captain Cao said he wanted to lock them up. Isn't this bad?"
Tao Cheng's face sank and he said coldly: "Even a bird can't fly out from here. Are you still worried about them escaping?"
"The kitchen is short of manpower. Can't I arrange for two people to come over and help?"
"Okay, you don't have to eat tomorrow!"
Seeing Tao Cheng lose his temper, the soldier immediately changed his smile.
"Master Tao, just do whatever you want! I'll arrange for them to go there now!"
He opened the cell door, Ling Yu's sharp eyes saw Zhang Xiaoying walking out with Zhang Xiaoyan, and she shouted.
First domain name
"I only know Zhang Xiaoyan, but I don't know anyone else!"
Zhang Xiaoying became anxious when she heard this and shouted: "Ms. Yu, please take me with you! I was wrong, I shouldn't betray you!"
"I kowtow to you to apologize. Please, take me away!"
As she spoke, she actually knelt down and kowtowed.
Ling Yu didn't care about Zhang Xiaoying's belated confession and pulled Zhang Xiaoyan out.
Although Ling Yu saw Zhang Xiaoying's tattered dress and guessed that she and Zhang Xiaoyan had suffered the same insult.
But Ling Yu really couldn't sympathize with Zhang Xiaoying when she thought about what she said about having someone to support her even if she died.
Although Tao Cheng didn't know the grudge between them, Ling Yu said he didn't know him and he didn't want to be a good person, so he asked the soldiers to block Zhang Xiaoying back.
Zhang Xiaoyan was confused, followed Ling Yu a long way away, and then asked quietly.
"Ms. Yu, what's going on? Did you ask them to move us to the kitchen... so that we could be poisoned?"
Zhang Xiaoyan said the last word almost like a mosquito. Ling Yu was afraid that the soldiers would hear her, so she pinched her so that Zhang Xiaoyan didn't dare to say any more.
The soldier moved the two of them to a utility room. The room was small and contained only a simple wooden bed.
But for Ling Yu, it was already heaven!
She closed the door and pulled Zhang Xiaoyan to lie down.
Ling Yu softly recounted the story of rescuing Captain Zhu and finally said.
"I think Tao Cheng is not hopelessly bad yet! Let's build a good relationship with him first, and then look for an opportunity to rescue your family and escape!"
Ling Yu had already seen the surrounding terrain just now. There was only one way out of the mine, and it was guarded by soldiers.
Soldiers patrolled regularly. It was too dark and Ling Yu couldn't see if there were any soldiers in the distance.
Whether it's working in the kitchen or doing odd jobs, Ling Yu can analyze the approximate number of people in the mine based on the amount of food consumed!
Zhang Xiaoyan now obeys Ling Yu's orders and has no objections.
After the two talked for a while, she fell asleep.
Ling Yu couldn't sleep for a while, staring at the dark roof with wide eyes.
She missed Ling Yue very much. This child must be worried about her if she hasn't seen her for a few days!
Where is Xiao Lintian, is he looking for me?
The fact that he was able to find Ling Yue and Heizi in time showed that he was well-informed and had considerable power!
Why hasn't he found himself yet?
Either he didn't care, or he thought it would be better if she died, then he could marry his sweetheart!
Did Zhang Mei, Abao Niang and others escape?
Will they be captured by Captain Cao again?
Ling Yu thought wildly, but finally couldn't bear the intrusion of sleep and fell asleep.
...
At this time, Prince Yi's Mansion.
Xiao Lintian was not asleep yet, still sitting at the desk.
Ling Yu has been missing for two days, and there is still no news at all.
No matter how calm Xiao Lintian was, he was now uncontrollably agitated.
Yinhu and the others have already found the carriage that fell off the cliff, and also found Lingxuan and Lingxin.
Ling Xin broke one of her hands. Although she had a lot of scratches on her body, she was lucky to have survived!
Lingxuan hurt her head, but she was still alive.
Silver Fox found the two of them and, following Xiao Lintian's instructions, did not take them back to the imperial capital, but secretly sent them to Zhuangzi in Chenjiacun.
Only Ling Yu’s whereabouts are unknown!
What made Xiao Lintian anxious was the last sentence in Silver Fox's report:
"Your Majesty, I found that there are still people looking for the whereabouts of the princess!"
"I guess they have already announced that there is no body of the princess in the carriage, and they want to find everyone and kill them all!"
