Crossing the grassland, the rough general, please set me free

Yun Xihe waited until midnight, guessing that everyone in the camp was asleep.

He took a few guards to the labor camp.

Bu Re, who had been keeping watch nearby, discovered something was wrong and asked the others to go back and report to Yan Lie, while he continued to follow.

The manager of the menial service camp had been fast asleep for a long time, and was now filled with resentment when he was suddenly woken up.

After getting dressed, he walked out of the tent cursing. When he saw that the person coming was Yun Xihe,

He immediately changed his expression and said with a smile,

"Princess Yun Xihe, why are you here so late? If you have something to say, just send someone over to pass on the message. Why come here in person?"

Concubine Yun Xihe smiled faintly.

"I'm leaving the Balin tribe tomorrow, and I remembered that there are still a few servants here being punished. After all, they have served me for so many years. We are master and servant. If they know their mistakes, let them go."

"So that's how it is. Concubine Yun Xihe is truly magnanimous. I'll go get them right away."

"It's okay, I'll go with you."

"Okay, come with me."

Soon the group arrived in front of a tent, and the manager called out the people inside.

Yun Xihe glanced at one of them, and the other nodded slightly.

"Tomorrow I will return to the Chaha tribe. Anyone who wants to go back with me can ask now."

The servants looked at each other.

Finally, the servant from before spoke first.

"I want to follow you."

When the other servants heard her say this, they also expressed their desire to follow her to the Chaha tribe.

Yun Xihe glanced around and saw a new figure in the crowd. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"In that case, you should hurry back and pack up now, and follow me tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Several servants responded.

Helian Zhen, dressed as a guard, followed at the end of the team, his heart pounding.

To everyone, it looked like an escort.

That night, Yun Xihe came to see her with her favorite food.

Helian Zhen didn't want to waste any more time talking to her. Since he was going to die, of course he wanted to be a full ghost.

Yun Xihe glanced at the door of the tent and said in a low voice,

"Jen'er, you and Gina quickly change your clothes, I'll take you out."

Helian Zhen glanced at the servant beside her. She had never seen this servant before and he looked puzzled.

"What do you mean? Who is she?"

"Gina is ill and no medicine can cure her. I promised to give her family some money and ensure that they will have food and clothing for the rest of their lives. She is willing to die in your place."

"Are you kidding? She's taking my place, how can that be?" Helian Zhen was a little bit unconvinced, but looking at her determined eyes, now that she had a chance to live again, she suddenly didn't want to die anymore.

"Zhen'er, time is running out, let's get out of here first."

After saying that, Yun Xihe urged the two of them to change their clothes quickly.

The two of them changed their clothes quickly.

Yun Xihe looked at Gina deeply and said, "Thank you."

"My body is already in this condition and there's no way to save it. It's just that I'll die early. It's worth it if I can give my family a worry-free life." Gina shook her head.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."

According to the original agreement, as soon as the two of them left, Gina would sprinkle some candle oil on her body and some oil on the tent walls.

He set the bedding on the felt couch on fire, then took out a dagger, slit his throat, and fell down at the source of the fire.

Because of the candle oil on his body, his entire body instantly caught fire. The fire quickly spread to the tent wall and set the entire tent on fire.

By the time the guards discovered it, the entire tent was already on fire.

Helian Zhen followed Yun Xihe back and found out that she had contacted the Chaha tribe and would arrive in the next few days.

But for safety reasons, we need to find a reason to send her to the labor camp.

Among Yun Xihe's servants, there was one named Sang Lin who came from the Chaha tribe a few years ago. He would go to the menial service camp with Helian Zhen so that they could take care of each other.

Then he asked her to change into the clothes prepared for guarding and hide behind the screen first.

Then Yun Xihe punished several servants for poor service and sent them to the menial service camp.

Performed a play in front of everyone.

Helian Zhen, dressed in guard clothes, took the opportunity to sneak into the escort team.

It was night time, and the guards didn't notice the extra person in the team.

Helian Zhen kept her head down all the way, pretending to be holding a mulberry tree.

While the guard was handing over to the steward, Sang Lin pushed her with his arm.

Helian Zhen immediately understood.

Slowly retreat into the darkness around you.

From then on, in the labor camp, she followed Sang Lin's arrangements in everything, changed into tattered clothes, hid in a corner with disheveled hair and a dirty face every day, and worked with everyone.

Until Sang Lin received the message and informed her to be prepared.

Helian Zhen followed everyone back to the camp with trepidation, and the guards returned to their respective positions.

Yun Xihe instructed Helian Zhen, who was dressed as a guard, "We're leaving tomorrow morning, go help them pack their things."

"Yes."

. . . . . . . . .

In the main camp,

Yan Lie drank while listening to Bu Re's report.

His face, which was slightly flushed from drinking, gradually became gloomy and his eyes became cold.

"Is there anything wrong with the person you brought back?"

"There's nothing wrong with bringing back servants. It's just..."

Seeing Bu Re hesitant to speak, he said, "Just what? Just say what you want to say."

"Yes, it seems there was one more person when we came back."

"As if? What do you mean?" Chao Lu next to him asked.

"I'm not sure either. I was so focused on Yun Xihe at the time that I didn't count the people who followed me. It seems that there was one more person when we came back, and I always felt that the number of guards was not right. When we returned to the camp, everyone else returned to their respective posts, but one person left with one of the servants. I followed them and heard the sound of people packing up inside at the door. But I waited for a long time, and no one came out. In order not to arouse suspicion, I came back to report. Khan, what should we do next?"

Yan Lie frowned slightly.

"Since we're all leaving tomorrow, why don't you go over there and help out? After all, you once lived in the Balin tribe. Since the tribe is leaving, it's only natural for you to help."

Bu Re understood what he meant, "Yes, Great Khan."

After saying that, he took a few people to the tent.

"Chao Lu, what do you think of today's wine?" Yan Lie looked at him with a smile.

"Haha, the wine is fragrant, it's really good. Come on, drink."

Chao Lu raised the wine bowl to meet Yan Lie.

. . . . . . . . .

In the servant's tent,

Helian Zhen, who was still imagining her life after leaving Bahrain, was shocked the moment she saw Bu Re.

My heart skipped a beat.

I didn't expect him to come so soon.

Bu Re grew up with Helian Zhen since childhood, so he could recognize her at a glance even if she was wearing men's clothes.

It was dark just now and I couldn’t see his face clearly.

"Helian Zhen, come back with me to see the Khan. You can't escape this time."

After saying that, Bu Re quickly stepped forward and was about to catch her.

Helian Zhen also practiced with Bu Re for a few years since childhood. He dodged Bu Re's hand and tried to grab his knife.

Seeing this, Sang Lin on the side hurried out and wanted to find Yun Xihe.

But after running a few steps, he was held down by someone who was running hot.
