A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"Have you been here all the time?" Jiang Wange asked softly, her beautiful eyes full of confusion and concern.

Yi Duoer nodded slightly. Seeing the worry in Jiang Wange's eyes, she comforted him, "Yes, I'll go back first if you're okay. If you have anything, you can always come to me. We slaves all live there."

After saying this, she didn't dare to delay for even a moment and turned and left quickly. She knew that the soldiers guarding the slaves were cruel and merciless, and if she was out of their sight for a long time, she would definitely be beaten.

Jiang Wange stared at her slightly thin figure jogging from behind. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously at first, and as if he was touched by her kindness, a deep heartache spread in his eyes.

Although Jiang Lin had led a large army to rush here, the place had already been occupied by the enemy.

Now, the only way is to fight to the death and attack. Since the Tiger Ju occupied Jiangzhou, the people have suffered terribly. The soldiers of the Tiger Ju were barbaric and brutal. They did not look like soldiers at all. They were clearly a group of evil robbers.

The news quickly spread to the capital, and the emperor was furious.

In the court, he was furious, and his angry roar was like surging waves, making all the civil and military officials present terrified and sweating profusely!

"Huju has already occupied Jiangzhou, and you good-for-nothings are completely unaware of it. What's the point of me keeping you around?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" The ministers were terrified and shouted in unison.

When the emperor's rage gradually subsided, his voice still carried a hint of coldness.

Chu Junye had long been eager to make achievements on the battlefield, and he would not miss the opportunity.

He held his head high, stepped out first, and spoke earnestly:

"Father, I am willing to lead the troops to the front lines. I will do my utmost to repel the enemy and enhance the prestige of our dynasty!"

When the emperor heard this, he was slightly stunned, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he fell into a brief contemplation.

After a moment, he nodded slightly and agreed. "I order you to lead an army of 200,000 to recapture the city and protect our country."

Upon hearing this, Chu Junye's expression was firm and he accepted the order without hesitation, his eyes full of confidence and determination.

However, he didn't know that the extremely ferocious and cunning Tuoba Hong was in front of him, and he was going to suffer!

Chu Jingchen, who was sitting beside him, had a stern face, like an iceberg, with no expression. But his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

With someone else fighting on his behalf, he could focus all his energy and attention on finding Yi Duoer.

On the eve of Chu Junye's expedition, Zhu Qingxue anxiously rushed to see him off.

However, the look Chu Junye gave her was merely polite, devoid of the endless care and doting he had shown her before.

Seeing this, Zhu Qingxue was filled with resentment and sadness. She thought that as long as Yi Duoer disappeared, his heart would return to her.

But she didn't expect that Yi Duoer had been missing for so long, but Chu Junye not only did not give up looking for her, but became more and more indifferent and distant to her.

Even though she was filled with hatred, she had no place to vent it.

The royal family,

Yi Duoer and everyone else worked hard under the scorching sun for a whole day and were exhausted both physically and mentally.

However, when I ate dinner, I felt bitter and hopeless. Dinner was just some moldy and sour bread.

Everyone looked at the hard-to-swallow food, their eyes filled with helplessness.

Everyone knew that they couldn't just sit there and wait for death, they had to find a way to escape.

Otherwise, he would die here sooner or later. Yi Duoer's eyes slowly swept over the people traveling with him, as well as some old, weak, women and children. She sighed helplessly. It seemed that the escape plan could only be planned in the long run.

Yi Duoer had just taken a bite of the cake when she was stopped by the maid who had offended the queen during the day.

The maid had a smug look on her face, and her eyes were full of gloating:

"The Queen Mother has ordered you to finish washing all these clothes tonight. If you don't finish, you can't sleep."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the maids behind her threw a pile of clothes on the ground.

She looked at Yi Duoer with eyes full of contempt, as if to say, this is what happens when you offend me, I have plenty of ways to deal with you.

Yi Duo'er bit her lower lip tightly. Yu Yao and the others, young and hot-tempered, stood up for Duo'er. Their eyes widened as they rushed forward to argue with the maids.

However, what they got in return was a merciless beating. The whip drew ferocious arcs in the air and landed heavily on their bodies.

Seeing this, Yi Duoer was extremely anxious and shouted at them to stop. She gritted her teeth, her eyes full of humiliation and unwillingness, and said she would go wash it herself.

Yi Duo'er's surrender made the maid even more arrogant and proud. "You wash it yourself. If anyone else dares to help you, watch out for your skin!"

The maid uttered these harsh words and walked away with a disgusting look of complacency.

"Sangsang, what are you going to do?" Yu Yao asked in a trembling voice.

Yi Duoer gently held her hand, patted it tenderly, and comforted her: "Don't worry."

Ah Zhu was so angry that his face turned red, and he roared like an angry bull:

"It's really too bullying, they are really no good." Yi Duoer quickly stretched out her hand to signal him to be silent, if those soldiers heard it,

It must be another beating. Old Yan watched this scene, his eyes filled with pity and helplessness, and he sighed softly. Yi Duoer comforted everyone with a few words, then picked up the pile of clothes that looked like a small mountain and slowly walked towards the river.

Arriving at the place where she usually did laundry, Yi Duoer threw all the clothes into the water and then stepped on them vigorously.

Her feet kept rising and falling in the water, splashing water everywhere. She kept mumbling a few words of complaint, as if venting her anger.

At this moment, there was a sudden slight movement in the bushes. Yi Duoer was startled and her body trembled slightly involuntarily. She was frightened.

She hurriedly put on her shoes, and curiosity drove her to slowly move a few steps towards the grass.

His eyes were full of vigilance as he asked loudly, "Who? Who's there? Come out quickly!"

The grass was completely silent, with no response. Yi Duoer gathered her thoughts and looked closely, only to see a foot sticking out of the grass.

She took a deep breath and walked closer to see the person. It turned out to be a woman. She was wearing a tight black casual dress, looking neat and tidy, and she exuded a sense of competence and heroism.

Yi Duoer slowly stepped forward, stretched out her hand to feel her breath, and found that there was still a faint breath, but there was an obvious wound on her chest, and blood had stained her clothes red.

Yi Duoer didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but looking at the injured woman, the kindness and conscience in her heart finally prevailed.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around in the middle of the night, there was silence all around, with only the chirping of insects in the grass.

Yi Duoer took great pains to bring the woman back to the simple shack where she lived.

Yuyao and the other female slaves heard the noise and gathered around. Their eyes were full of curiosity and confusion. They asked Yi Duoer softly:

"Who is she?" Yi Duoer explained briefly, then she carefully found the few herbs and cloth strips she had and began to apply medicine and bandage the woman.

Her eyes were focused and serious, her fingers were gentle and nimble. After she had finished her work, Yi Duoer finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves relaxing a little.

At this moment, the woman slowly woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, a strong murderous intent flashed in them. She sat up instantly, her movements swift and agile.

Then she pulled out a dagger that gleamed with cold light and put it against Yi Duoer's neck without hesitation.

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"Who are you?" The woman's voice was cold and alert. Yu Yao was anxious and quickly asked her to let go of Yi Duoer.

"I saw you fainted by the river, and I saved you. How dare you point a knife at your savior?" Yi Duoer's tone was relaxed, but she was extremely alert in her heart.

At this moment, she secretly concentrated her internal strength in her right hand. As long as the woman made the slightest movement, she would strike back like lightning, with a firmness and determination in her eyes.

The woman came to her senses upon hearing this. She slowly took in the simple surroundings and the terrified women before her. After realizing there was no danger, she slowly lowered the dagger.

"I'm sorry, and thank you very much." Her tone was a little stiff and awkward, and her temperament seemed indifferent, with a bit of the boldness and unruliness of a man.

"It's okay. As the saying goes, there's no acquaintance without fighting. Why did you fall down by the river injured?" Yi Duoer asked directly, her bright eyes full of curiosity.

The woman remained alert and simply said, "My name is Yuan Meng, and I was injured while trying to save someone."

Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside. The sound came from far away and it was a group of soldiers searching.

Yi Duo'er's face paled slightly, and she panicked. She knew they were searching for Yuan Meng. If they were discovered hiding, everyone's lives would be in danger. She hurriedly told Yuan Meng to find a place to hide.

But there was no place to hide in this simple shack. If he went out now, he would run into the soldiers head-on, and that would be a trap.

Yi Duoer was extremely anxious. After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth, let Yuan Meng hide under the bed, and walked out herself.

The soldiers quickly arrived at the door of the shed, and the leading soldier glanced at Yi Duoer with disdain.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, Yi Duoer quickly put on a flattering look, with a smile on her face. She took out an ingot of Central Plains silver from her bosom,

She handed both hands to the leading soldier and said softly and earnestly:

"Brother, please be kind. All the people in our room are women from the Central Plains. You know, women from the Central Plains value their reputation the most. If this gets out, their reputation will be ruined." Yi Duoer said sincerely.

The leading soldier looked at the silver in his hand, threw it aside, and shouted disdainfully:

"I don't need anything from the Central Plains! Who the hell are you? Get out of here!"
