By the time he woke up, it was already midnight. She was lying on the couch, covered in a blue cloak that smelled of ambergris. Without a doubt, this had always been Wang Huan's style.
The maidservant noticed that Meng Quan had woken up, so she carefully broke off the cup of tea that she had just made.
"Lady Ji, please moisten your throat." He carefully asked.
He took it and drank it clean. When he raised his head to take a look, he remembered that Wang Huan had been painting his Alchemy Painting just now. Unknowingly, he had fallen asleep.
"Where is His Majesty?" he asked, handing the empty teacup to her.
He lowered his brows and said, "Just now, after His Majesty finished drawing the portrait for the lady, General Huo Yuan sent someone to call His Majesty away in a hurry. It seems that something big has happened."
Oh? Something big had happened. "What's going on?" he asked curiously.
He shook his head heartlessly, "This servant doesn't know." This heartfelt mouth was the hardest to talk about, it was unlikely for him to know the reason.
"Alright, you can leave now." He waved his hand.
Although Wang Huan was the one that had been sent to monitor her, she was still obedient. At this moment, there was only Meng Yanxing left in the tent. Naturally, she wanted to take advantage of the dead of night to investigate.
When it was late in the night, the guard was sitting at the door, dozing off. It was an easy thing to knock out a soldier, strip him off his clothes and put him on.
Out of the dozens of tents, only the lights in the hall were still on.
"Your Majesty, the three hundred thousand elite soldiers of King Ru Cheng have already reached the eight prefectures. As a result, the chances of us winning are very small." The person who spoke was a male voice with a magnetic tone.
It turned out to be that his father had come to the Eight Counties. As a result, the ear became closer by three points.
"I've heard that Su Yang is the son-in-law of Ran Cheng, and he was very generous. Three hundred thousand elite soldiers were willing to help him fight against his defeat." This time, it was Wang Huan who spoke. Hearing her words, Meng Ke was confused. When did Su Yang become father's future son-in-law? What a joke.
"No matter whose son-in-law Su Yang is, I, Huo Yuan, would like to meet the King of Ru."
Thinking back then, it was not anyone who kowtowed at his father's feet. He was simply too arrogant. Once his father's three hundred thousand men arrived, he would just be scared to the point where he could piss his pants.
"Ok, Huo Yuan. Take care of everything. Be on your guard for the next few days. King Ran must not be underestimated." Wang Huan instructed.
A maid hurriedly ran in and knocked at Wang Huan's feet. With a nervous expression, she said, "Your Majesty, Miss Ji, she … Miss Ji has disappeared."
Wang Huan was stunned for two seconds before he scolded, "I won't let anyone look at her properly. Men, send her to the army's brothel!"
The two guards at the door immediately dragged the female attendant away. The female attendant was crying and shouting, but to no avail.
Wang Huan frowned and said, "I'll go take a look, my liege."
Huo Yuan clasped his hands and watched as Wang Huan rushed out of the tent.
Not good! Wang Huan had definitely gone to search for him. At this moment, she was determined to escape from this tent. If she were to be caught by Wang Huan, that tyrant, she would definitely end up in a miserable state.
As the number of people continued to rise, the tents started to light up one by one. The soldiers started to tell each other that the new wife of the king had disappeared.
However, the military camp seemed to have no borders. However, Meng Yuping didn't know the terrain of this place, so she was just like a headless fly, scurrying to the left and right. The night was cold as water, and he shivered.
Staying in a remote, dilapidated wooden house, she could see soldiers holding torches and shouting her name. They turned around and ran into a body, startling her.
The man looked at Meng Yinsan and asked, "Lady, I see that those people are looking for you."
He was dressed in coarse clothes and his shoes were made of old grass. He looked like a farmer from one of the surrounding villages, but his face was so greasy that it was difficult for him to work all day and his skin was so delicate.
Eh? He was clearly wearing the uniform of a soldier, how could he know that she was a girl?
"How do you know I'm a woman? Besides, a farmer like you dares to barge into a Gao Lijun's camp? Do you want to die? "
No matter how he looked at it, he was the kind of person who did not understand the affairs of the world.
He said, "Although this lady is wearing a military uniform, this one knows that you are a girl with her figure and appearance." He poked his head out of the window and turned around to face Meng Yinsan. "Little girl, I accidentally entered the military camp. You have to save me." The little farmer's eyes were brimming with tears as he looked at the little girl. His voice trembled with fear.
Since both of them were at the end of the world, it was time for him to give up.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you. "However, I am unable to protect myself right now. If they catch me later, you can run first. Don't worry about me."
The oily and powdery face of the young man grabbed on to her sleeve. "Do you really think I am such a heartless person?" He frowned, full of righteousness.
The little farmer didn't seem to know any martial arts, so perhaps bringing him along would ruin his plans.
"Let go of me! Just listen to me. "
He squatted down, looked around and said, "I know my surroundings, come with me."
He was just like a headless fly. Seeing that the man was reliable, he asked doubtfully, "You can take me out of here?"
That man looked very natural. Meng Yinsan nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll believe you this time."
The two of them sneaked into an empty tent. The night was as dark as ink and they couldn't even see each other's fingers.
"Who exactly is this girl? It actually caused these soldiers to be unable to sleep at night and to search for you everywhere? "
the man whispered into her ear. What are you talking about now?!
"I was kidnapped. You don't need to know that much. If someone discovers us later, we won't be able to see the sun in the morning either!"
"Who's in General Huo's tent?" someone shouted in a rough voice outside.
It's over, it's all over.
"Come in!" The one who spoke was the one next to him, the one who held him back. "Do you not want to live anymore?" he asked through gritted teeth.
The group of people entered the tent, and the candles lit up. The soldiers saluted in unison. "General Huo."
This, this..." He had been made a fool of.
"Wait for the order to be sent out. I've found Lady Ji." Huo Yuan was calm as he poured himself a cup of tea.
She smiled lightly and said, "Please, Lady Ji."
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that the frightening General Huo Yuan on the battlefield would actually be an oily and pink-faced boy. To think that he would be fooled by him!
"You! "Huo Yuan, I'll kill you!"
