The next day, the jailer said that Mr. Zhuo came to see her. Teng Juan felt puzzled. She had no friendship with Mr. Zhuo and had never even met. How could she come to see her? But when she saw the person, her eyes suddenly widened.
Xuan waved her hand, and the jailers all retreated. Only she and Yan Xiaomao were there:
"It seems that I was recognized? Sure enough, my face has become your nightmare, right?"
Teng Juan snorted and turned his body to one side. Without saying anything, he motioned to Yan Xiaomao to send the food basket in.
Teng Juan looked at the delicious dishes placed in front of her and looked up at Hyun:
"What? Are you sending me on my way so soon?"
Hyun smiled and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Have you done anything that warrants beheading?" After a pause, "I heard from Cheng'er and the others that you were the one who protected them during the days they were kidnapped. I just came to thank you."
Teng Juan glanced at her:
"Since I didn't do anything wrong, why are you still locking me up? Why don't you just let me out?"
Hyun sat down cross-legged:
"Well, to tell you the truth, I'm still of some use, so I'm going to have to deal with you for a while."
Teng Juan glanced at her again, picked up the food and smelled it:
"You did this?"
Hyun raised an eyebrow:
"Your nose works fine. Are you happy? Mr. Zhuo will cook for you personally."
Teng Juan snorted and said nothing, but he ate all the eighteen bowls with three chopsticks.
Yan Xiaomao put away the bowl and left. As soon as the two of them left, the guards brought in a long table, spread it with clean bedding, put a comfortable-looking pillow, and put it in the cell.
He bought something to dispel the odor and sprinkled it with fragrant water. Teng Juan stood aside with his mouth open and watched them clean up.
After it was done, a jailer nodded and bowed and said to Teng Juan:
"Master Zhuo said that the conditions in the prison are poor, so let Miss Teng make do with it."
Then he bowed, locked the cell door and left.
Soon the voice of Teng Qi and Teng Fu came:
"Alas, what's going on? Why does she get preferential treatment? We are all from the same family, why don't we?"
The jailer knocked on the cell rudely and said fiercely:
"Clear your position!"
Since then, Teng Juan has become more comfortable and eats all his meals in restaurants outside. Even when he was at home before, he would not dare to eat in those expensive restaurants.
Teng Juan pinched her plump waist:
This Hyun doesn't seem to be that bad.
Teng Yan lost his child as a bargaining chip and the chance to rescue his two sons. He took his guards to find the army. Now his only hope was to overthrow the Ning family. However, even the Zhao Kingdom was defeated. Do they still have a chance to win?
?But Teng Yan no longer cared about so much, and risked his life to save his son!
Those who intercepted the rebel army on the road were just showing off, and after consuming some of their men, they withdrew.
The commanding general said excitedly:
"Didn't you say that we defeated the Zhao army? Why don't we feel that it is that strong?"
One of his generals said:
"Perhaps they have all been sent to Nanguan. I heard that Zhao has not given up and has launched several attacks."
The general patted his thigh:
"Then, if we capture the capital first, can we go to Shihu to ask for some reward?"
Another general said:
"By the way, Mr. Ye and Mr. Hua, who are responsible for contacting Zhao Guo, can't be contacted."
The general rubbed his chin:
"Now that the capital is sealed off, and all the main roads leading to the capital are under martial law, I'm afraid it will be difficult to send news out. The two adults have been hiding very deep, and they will definitely not be noticed."
Because Ning Sheng blocked the news, everyone continued to move forward in their own beautiful imaginations.
Finally, after passing five passes and killing six generals, they arrived outside the capital. They first stationed themselves in a safe place, explored the surrounding situation, and agreed to attack the city early the next morning. They had already thought of a plan, cutting off water sources, cutting off grain routes, etc., etc. Preparations were made for the siege, and the siege on the second day was just a feint to cover up all the cuts.
But the next day, everyone rushed to the city wall full of enthusiasm and saw three large wooden frames standing on the city wall, with Teng Qi, Teng Fu and Teng Juan tied to them respectively.
Teng Yan, who had been following the team, rushed to the front and shouted:
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
But the generals ignored him at all. One general shouted:
"Master Teng, get out of the way! Fighting must be done in one go, there is no reason to stop in the middle of a fight! Get out of the way!"
Ye Yao was responsible for contacting the army and so on. Teng Yan was actually just a decoration, put there as a signboard and used as a speaker, "Look, even the grand master has rebelled. The emperor is unconscious and innocent!" and so on! , he seems to respect him at ordinary times, but at such a critical moment, it is impossible for the army to listen to him.
Teng Yan shouted anxiously:
"Wait a minute, my two sons are up there!"
The general shouted again:
"It's not my son! I don't care who he is!"
At this time, Hyun interrupted on the city wall:
"Oh my, my, we had a quarrel before the battle? Being left out here by you guys really makes me feel looked down upon."
Shaking the whip in her hand, she walked up to Teng Juan first, rounded her arm and whipped it, but she didn't whip it on Teng Juan, but on the wooden frame.
Teng Juan thought she was really going to convulse, so she closed her eyes tightly and waited for the pain, but she heard a whisper in her ear:
"Hey, hey, at least let's give it a cooperative shout."
Teng Juan opened his eyes and saw that the whip had been withdrawn. He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what was going on and let out a scream.
Hyun clicked her tongue:
"Master Teng, do you know how much this beautiful girl suffered in prison? Such a beautiful person was so tortured that she was even slow to react when being whipped."
Teng Qi and Teng Fu were struggling to talk. They were the ones who were being tortured, okay? Teng Juan ate meals from big restaurants, and several big restaurants alternated between them. What they ate was prison food that was sour and hard to swallow. Teng Juan slept on dry and warm bedding, and they slept on smelly and rotten straw. At this time, Teng Juan was fully clothed, but they were almost naked in the howling cold wind. They only had a piece around their waists that could be blown by the wind at any time. The cloth is blown away, who is the one who is being tortured?
It's a pity that their mouths were blocked and they couldn't say a word for a long time.
When Teng Yan saw Teng Juan, he thought that Teng Juan had run back with the children, and said angrily:
"I don't have a daughter who eats her inside out like this! You can kill or chop her up as you like. If you let my two sons go, everything will be easy to talk about."
Teng Juan was shocked. She protected her three children and begged Ning Fang to come and rescue the children quickly. She just hoped to offset Ning Fang's anger. It would be good to let her father go. If not, she could at least make her father feel better. I thought that Teng Yan actually said such words.
With trembling lips he said:
"It turns out that the father's love for his daughter is just because the daughter is valuable?"
Teng Yan snorted, ignored it, and continued to say to Yun:
"Now the capital is under siege. If you don't want to starve to death all over the country, let me release my son. I agree to withdraw our troops."
As soon as he said this, he immediately aroused opposition from the generals. Although they knew that this was Teng Yan's plan to delay the war, they had long disliked him. Therefore, the generals shouted objections without giving any face, but Teng Yan turned a deaf ear and ignored him.
They ignored them, and now he only wanted to save his two sons.
Hyun played with the whip and walked towards Teng Qi and Teng Fu:
"Sure enough, Mr. Teng also favors sons over daughters. He only cares about his sons. However, in my eyes, your two bastard sons are really not as good as half Teng Juan."
Teng Qi and Teng Fu were so frightened when they saw Xun coming over that they hid behind them, but they were tied to a wooden frame. Where could they hide? They watched as Xun put down the whip and pulled out the dagger, almost crying.
Hyun shook his head, clicked his tongue, and said in disgust:
"If my opponents are all incompetent people like this, even if I win, I won't have the slightest joy of victory."
After saying that, a knife was slashed on Teng Fu's thigh. Although it was not deep, the wound was quite long. In an instant, the leg below the wound was bloody.
Teng Yan shouted anxiously:
"Don't! Don't! General Zhuo! Stop!"
Hyun walked to Teng Qi again. Teng Qi was so scared that he peed. Hyun pouted and said angrily:
“Birds of a feather flock together!”
He drew a dagger on Teng Qi's chest and said to Teng Yan:
"Master Teng, you really don't understand the situation. What advantage do you have to negotiate with me?"
Teng Yan wanted to say it, but the general beside him covered his mouth. This was a strategic plan. How could he say it casually? He was so angry that he wanted to kill him on the spot.
At this time, a soldier ran to Le Zhengkang and muttered something, and Le Zhengkang nodded to Yuan.
Hyun shouted to the general behind the team:
"I can't see who the general is, but I want to give you some gifts." After saying that, a man tied up with five-colored flowers escorted him to his side, and he patted him with a dagger. "This is the general who went to cut off the water." Another one
The tied-up man was escorted up, "This is the general who is going to cut off the food road, yes, there are also..."
Ye Yao, Mr. Hua, and Xiao Zhenzi, who secretly gave Ning Sheng poison, were all tied up and pushed up. Ning Sheng, who was rumored to be seriously ill, also appeared in front of everyone with a majestic appearance. Everyone under the city wall was dumbfounded.
Already.
Hyun suddenly shouted sharply:
"So, Teng Yan! What advantage do you have here?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and slashed his knife from Teng Qi's chest to his abdomen. Although it was a flesh wound, the visual impact was very strong. The soldiers who were full of morale just now were half demoralized by this series of "surprises".
Huo Jiu saw that the timing was about the same. He looked at each other with Le Zhengkang and Jiang Wu. Jiang Wu raised his hand to signal, and immediately the sound of military drums sounded. Many troops rushed out from all directions, surrounding the rebels. The sound of military drums changed.
The army came quickly.
There is no need for cavalry to attack a city, so Teng Yan's side is all infantry, but the other side has cavalry. The cavalry rushes back and forth bravely in the formation, and the formation is quickly disrupted.
The general commanded a change of formation, but the morale was half lost and they were surrounded again. It was obvious that the situation was over, and people's hearts were in chaos, and everyone wanted to escape from here quickly.
In the chaos, no matter whether it was the sound of military drums, flags, or the general's command, it was all ineffective. The general had to organize those who could still obey orders to prepare for a breakout, thinking of joining the cavalry and reserve forces in the camp, but unfortunately,
As they walked forward, the camp was taken away. (To be continued)
