No matter how strong and intelligent a woman is, she will feel terrified and frightened when faced with such an unexpected change.
Even if Cui Ying had lived two lifetimes, having experienced great waves and storms in her past life, she was now filled with fear of the unknown as she faced the endless darkness.
She didn't know where she was now, where she would go, and what fate she would encounter.
The body was tightly bound by sturdy ropes, and after a long time, the whole body ached to the point of almost dying.
And... Brother Yun!
Xiao Ge had clearly fallen down before her, but at this moment, he was not with her.
It is unknown whether he was packed in one of the other boxes on the cart or encountered some other danger.
Choi Yong felt a sense of despair for a moment, she didn't know whether to scold herself for being stupid or to die!
Although she had imagined countless times the scene of being drugged, she still fell for it without any guard or vigilance.
It would be better if she was the only one suffering, but now, her brother's life or death is uncertain.
And then there's that girl named Liu Jianyue, I remember she was the second one to fall down, don't know how she is now...
Choi's heart was filled with a mix of regret and fear, an unprecedented despair that he had never experienced before.
Tears, uncontrollably overflowing from the corners of her eyes, first as a gentle trickle, slowly gathering into a vast ocean.
If it weren't for her last shred of sanity, she would have burst into loud wails that the thief could hear.
It really is, the current situation has far exceeded her imagination.
She was momentarily at a loss, unsure of what to do for the best.
Choi Yong bit her lip and silently shed tears for a while before calming down.
She is not a real fifteen-year-old girl, after venting her emotions, she can still find her rationality in time.
Yes, no matter how difficult the predicament is, as long as you are willing to think, there will always be a way to crack it.
Tears are a declaration of weakness, grief and sorrow are useless if all you can do is cry in despair. Then just wait for death!
In the dimness, Cui Ying suddenly took a deep breath. She forced herself to calm down, things she couldn't understand could be thought about slowly, but first she had to loosen the ropes on her body, the prolonged compression of her blood vessels made her whole body stiff and sore.
If she continues like this, she will probably be unable to walk temporarily due to poor blood circulation.
She no longer indulged in self-pity and was making every effort to find a way out of her predicament within the limited space.
First, exercise your wrists and gently relax your stiff fingers.
Then try your best to let your fingers climb a little further. Good feel around and see where the rope's end is hidden.
She bit her lip and tried not to make too much noise, but her body and wrists never stopped struggling.
Also don't know how long it took, but in this cold and dark night, I was drenched in sweat from head to toe.
Finally, Cui Ying discovered a small knot behind her back after much effort.
She spent a great deal of effort finding that small node. With one pull, it turned out to be a slip knot!
Her tightly wrapped body seemed to have gotten its breath, and the whole thing swelled up, slowly squeezing open the layers of rope that had been wrapped around her, and then slid loosely off her body.
She took two deep breaths and then carefully flexed her muscles.
The carriage stopped at this time.
Cui Ying hastily pasted it on the wooden box, pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside the carriage, she didn't want to miss any clues that could reveal her whereabouts.
"Someone asked, 'It's so late, are you going out of town? Do you have a pass?'"
A rough-voiced man replied, "This foul water has to be transported to the farms outside the city to feed the pigs before nightfall. No way around it, everyone thinks it stinks, so we can only transport it at night when there are fewer people around. Of course, we have a pass, sir, here!"
The soldier who was checking hesitated for a moment, "The pass is genuine, but these days the checks are strict, I have to take a look at what you're transporting."
A rough-voiced man laughed and said, "General, it's also for the safety of the city defense. If you're not afraid of wasting time, just take a look. There are six large barrels of stinky water, I'm afraid the smell will affect the pedestrians on the road, so they all have wooden nails on top. Otherwise, I'll open one for you!"
As he spoke, he opened the wooden lid, and a pungent smell wafted out with the wind.
The soldiers guarding the city were choked, "Alright, alright, don't get up one by one, this smell is really strong, no wonder you all have to leave the city at midnight, hurry up and go!"
Chui Ying probably guessed that at this moment he was at the gate of Muzhou City.
The kidnappers disguised themselves as farmers delivering night soil out of the city, and indeed there were buckets of night soil on the cart, but they also hid her, a living person!
She realized this was her best chance of escape.
If you miss this village, there will be no such store again.
Once they left the city, the outskirts were all mountains and wilderness, and the bandits could easily hide anywhere. She had never been to this place before, heaven knows where she was, even if she managed to escape with her life, she wouldn't have a way to get back.
Cui Ying thought for a moment, then hurriedly and violently knocked on the wooden box with all her might, almost shouting hoarsely, "Is anyone there? Let me out! Is anyone there? Let me out!"
She was afraid that her shouting voice could not get out of the two or three layers of wooden boxes.
Thought for a moment, then punched and kicked in the wooden box, trying every means to make the box shake violently.
With a loud "bang", the slop bucket that had just been opened fell to the ground, spilling its contents everywhere and filling the air with a foul smell.
The soldiers guarding the city finally noticed something was off and hastily stopped the cart. "Halt, what's inside this wooden barrel?"
Choi Yong pounded violently on the wooden box, "General! Save me! I'm in here!"
The soldier heard the woman's cry, "No way, you open all the wooden buckets, what's inside, how can there be a woman's cry for help? Are you human traffickers who specialize in abducting women?"
The low-voiced man, seeing that he could no longer conceal himself, immediately jumped onto the carriage, speaking in a language she couldn't understand while forcefully whipping the horses, trying to force his way through before the city gate closed.
He apparently succeeded.
Because Chui Ying felt that the carriage was flying wildly, the team behind her was getting farther and farther away, and she could only hear the sound of the wind and the hurried echo of the horse's hooves.
Her mood plummeted from hopeful expectation of being rescued to hitting rock bottom.
She was extremely anxious, and after a desperate struggle, not only did she fail to save herself, but also thoroughly exposed the fact that she had already woken up and untied her ropes.
It won't be long before she'll be in for a disaster of epic proportions once the culprit realizes there's no more danger.
No. Not right.
The bandits won't kill her.
If it was just to kill her, why would they go to great lengths to get her out of the heavily guarded Lord Yun's residence?
It's probably only the ignorant gate guards who would think that these people are human traffickers.
However, the soldier was still vigilant and managed to detect something off about them at the last moment. He must have also heard the strange language spoken by that person! These people are definitely from Rouran without a doubt!
It is hoped that the garrison soldiers can report this discovery as soon as possible.
If Yuan Wulang could be informed, it was unknown whether he would come to rescue her or not...
Cui Ying's eyes slightly turned, and she couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. "It's also because I've been living in peace for too long that I forgot this is the battlefield. When two armies are at war, the commander-in-chief's daughter-in-law was captured by the enemy right before our eyes, isn't this a matter of great chaos to the army?"
She slammed her own head hard, "Only you have a pig brain. It's only now that I see this point."
Now everything is clear, the one who kidnapped her was undoubtedly a Rouran person.
She just didn't know whether her brother had also suffered at the hands of these people.
If it was a matter of money, she still had a large amount of silver notes hidden on her person.
Although she cherished gold and silver, compared to life, they were nothing but floating clouds. If they wanted them, she would give them away.
But the other side captured her for political appeal. Whether it was to sacrifice her before the two armies clashed, or to use her as a bargaining chip and pawn in negotiations, once she fell into the hands of the Rouran people, the outcome would be disastrous.
Either die miserably on the battlefield or suffer all kinds of torture before death.
Either call the Yuan family to be extremely difficult afterwards, and then die miserably on the battlefield. Before dying, not only did he have to endure all kinds of torture himself, but also the inner heart of the Yuan family was tortured in all ways.
Nonsense, General Yuan Shitao, as the commander-in-chief of the northwest army, represents the majesty of the Sheng dynasty.
Not to mention that his daughter-in-law was captured, even if it were his own mother who became a pawn in the hands of the enemy, he could only put family ties aside and prioritize justice. As the Grand Marshal, he would not let personal feelings compromise national interests.
Cui Ling felt that she was doomed this time.
The difference lies in whether her death was tragic or extremely tragic.
She tilted her head in thought, anyway, it's all going to end in death, so she might as well continue looking for opportunities and try to make the most of it.
This is still a prosperous dynasty, and the Rouran people are fierce, but they don't have the ability to gather in groups to show off their military power on the territory of the Sheng Dynasty.
It's nighttime now, the sky is pitch black, and these people can still use the darkness to conceal their appearance.
Waited till dawn, there were always people passing by on the road...
The heavens favour her, the earth favours her, and man favours her; all in all, everything is in her favour.
Otherwise, if they deliver themselves to the Rouran territory, and reach a point where heaven does not respond when called upon, and earth does not respond when prayed to, then this life can be said to be truly in someone else's hands.
Cui Ying had already thought it through; if she could luckily escape, then nothing would be better than that.
She's only fifteen years old, in her prime youth, just getting started.
This world is so wonderful, and Yuan's family almost meets all her yearnings for a home, she must be out of her mind to give up and leave!
She must live to return to Shengjing, sleep on her high bed and warm pillow, eat her delicious food, and be the world's most extravagant rice worm!
If she were unlucky enough to die here, it would still be better than being humiliated and bullied in front of the Yuan family.
What deterrent effect does one corpse have?
Apart from making the Yuan family's army even angrier, it would instead trigger unprecedented morale.
Only in front of a hundred thousand soldiers can the brutal killing of a beautiful and withered flower have a despairing and trembling effect.
Compared to a dead person, the commander of the Yu Rang people would definitely want a living Yuan Wuniang.
In other words, no matter how much she struggled, these people would never dare to take her life with their own hands.
And this is her chance!
