Southerners

Chapter 59

Song Zhi glanced outside the dungeon, while Meng Huan was guarding outside, looking in from time to time, but they were so far away that they couldn't hear their conversation.

Song Zhi didn't have time to talk nonsense, so she cut to the chase and said, "General, listen to me, they are heavily guarded here, and they can't go in and out without a token. Next time I will come back with a token."

At the same time, Song Zhi described the terrain of Zhuangzi he observed when he came in, so that Chen Diaohua could escape.

Chen Diaohua deserved to be a famous heroine general, she remembered it after listening to it once, and nodded, "Thank you." Then he asked, "If I escape from here, will you be in danger?"

Song Zhi smiled slightly and said, "It's lucky that the general escaped. As for myself, don't worry, general, I will try my best to protect myself. However, general," Song Zhi added, "now the capital is more heavily guarded than before. , if the general can escape, please take your life as the most important thing and don't take any more risks."

Chen Diaohua was a little surprised, and asked: "Who sent you?" If it was his own ally, he probably wouldn't say such a thing.

Song Zhi was taken aback, and quickly replied, "No one sent me."

Chen Diaohua asked suspiciously: "You are not sent by Meng Yuan to coax me as bait, are you?"

"If no one sent you here, by yourself, an uncrowned youth, how can you enter this dungeon?"

Song Zhi's face was slightly stiff. In front of Chen Diaohua, he really had no face to say that he was now living with the Mongolians. He hesitated and said in a low voice: "General, please don't ask any more questions. Do things, the general can trust me."

Chen Diaohua saw a lot of Song people of all kinds.Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death surrendered to Mengyuan, this is the choice of most people, Chen Diaohua can't criticize them, after all, they are all for survival, so what's wrong?Those who are dedicated to running for the country of the Great Song Dynasty are like her Chen family.There is another category, like Song Zhi, who is forced to submit to Meng Yuan, but still has Song Zhi in his heart.

Chen Diaohua is now a woman in her thirties. Looking at Song Zhi's age, she seemed to be looking at a younger generation, and softened her voice: "When the Great Song Dynasty perished, you were only in your teens, right? Your heart is invaluable."

Song Zhi took a look outside and found Meng Huan looking this way. She was a little panicked and didn't dare to say any more, so she hurriedly said, "General, time is running out, so I won't talk to you anymore. See you later!"

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Chen Diaohua looked at his back and thought: Another day?I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to live through tomorrow, but before I die, it's good to see such a young man from Song Dynasty with a sincere heart.

She closed her eyes.

"Why so long?" Seeing Song Zhi coming out, Meng Huan hurried up to hold his hand, it was cold, and Meng Huan felt a little distressed, "If I knew it, I would add more clothes, it's almost September, and it's getting cold .”

Song Zhi looked preoccupied and didn't answer.

Meng Huan asked him again: "It seems that you said something to Chen Diaohua?"

Song Zhi frowned: "I have a few words with someone, do I have to report them to you?"

Meng Huan smiled embarrassingly: "That's not what I meant."

Song Zhi was thinking about how to get into Zhuangzi in her heart, a little absent-minded.

First of all, you need a token. Without a token, you cannot enter Zhuangzi. This is the first step.The second is to untie the shackles of Chen Diaohua. There are many barriers between entering from Zhuangzi and the dungeon where Chen Diaohua is. There are locks one after another. The last one is on Chen Diaohua. Things may not open at all.

After that, it was necessary to create conditions for Chen Diaohua to escape.

The more Song Zhi thought about it, the more she frowned. This was not something he could do alone.

Song Zhi suddenly thought, didn't Chen Diaohua still have accomplices, and with their help, it would be possible to rescue Chen Diaohua.

But how to find those people?

"Young master," Song Zhi asked Meng Huan in the carriage back to Meng's mansion. He knew that it was impossible to completely hide Meng Huan, so he simply asked frankly, "How long can Chen Diaohua live?"

Meng Huan said: "If our arrangement goes well, she might not survive tonight."

"Tonight?" Song Zhi was surprised, "Are you going to do it tonight?"

Meng Huan patted his head: "So don't go out tonight, just stay in the mansion well, you understand?"

Song Zhi shrank her head calmly and nodded.

Not long after Meng Huan sent Song Zhi back to the mansion, he went out again. Song Zhi stayed in the house for a while, always fidgeting, and told Lian Er that she was going to get a book in Meng Huan's study, so she went straight to her. Went to Meng Huan's study.

Meng Huan's study has always been forbidden for others to come in and out at will, but Song Zhi's status is special, now that Qinuo is not here, no one in the mansion dares to stop him.

After Song Zhi went in, she carefully closed the door and bolted it, and then rummaged through the bookshelves and cabinets guilty of guilt, trying to find any traces.

But Meng Huan handled it extremely cleanly. Song Zhi searched for a long time, but found nothing. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Song Zhi felt anxious, so she casually took a book from Meng Huan's study as a cover, and went back to the room to tell Lian Er sound, and hurried out the door.

Before going out, Lian Er hurriedly said: "Sir, the young master forbids you to go out tonight, you..."

"Hush." ​​Song Zhi raised an index finger to her lips, "Don't tell the young master that I went out, okay, Lian'er?"

Lian'er was a little embarrassed: "Sir, you want to go out, can't you go out tomorrow morning?"

Song Zhi gritted her teeth, and said with a solemn expression, "Lian'er, just this time, you help me once."

"If you refuse, I can only run out by myself."

Seeing Song Zhi's resolute expression, Lian Er nodded worriedly: "Then come back as soon as possible, so that the young master won't find out."

Song Zhi nodded, turned her head and went out without taking Lian'er.

Since he said he wanted to save Chen Diaohua, he couldn't sit still. He didn't expect Meng Huan to move so fast and plan to do it tonight. He had to get in touch with those people before then.

Unexpectedly, Song Zhi was still thinking hard about how to find these people, and he was kidnapped by the other party not long after he left the house.

Song Zhicai walked to the corner, when a person suddenly jumped out of the crowded street, covered his mouth, and dragged him into the alley.

Song Zhi didn't struggle.

When I got to the alley, I heard the man whispering in my ear: "Be quiet, don't make a sound."

At the same time, Song Zhi felt something cold and hard against her throat.

Song Zhi nodded cautiously, expressing her understanding.

The man didn't let him go immediately, but stuffed Song Zhi's mouth with a cloth, covered his eyes with a black cloth, and took him to a place with abstinence, and then took off the black cloth.

Song Zhi looked around, and it seemed to be a dilapidated residential house.

"Don't look around!" the man said fiercely.

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that there were several people around him, all of them were covered with black cloth, so they couldn't see their faces clearly, and each of them held a knife with a cold light in their hands.

Song Zhi tentatively asked, "Are you from General Chen?"

Those people listened and looked at each other, one of them said: "Do you know the general?"

Song Zhi's eyes lit up, and she said, "I'm looking for you!"

"You looking for us?" Someone was suspicious, "What are you looking for us for?"

Someone next to him interrupted him: "Listen to this kid talking nonsense? Don't forget what we arrested him for."

Meng Mansion and He Ye's lost mansion, East Palace, etc. They all sent people to watch. In the past few days, they only saw a strange face of Song Zhi coming in and out of Zhuangzi, and he seemed to be a Han.

These people have followed Chen Diaohua for many years and are her confidantes. Apart from the Mongols, they hated the Song people who had surrendered to Yuan the most. ran out.

"Boy, let me ask you, who are you, that you can go in and out of Zhuangzi with Hazier?" one of the leaders said.

Song Zhi sized up a few people and said cautiously, "If I say that I'm with you all the way, would you believe me?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and immediately someone asked suspiciously: "Why should we trust you?"

Song Zhi: "What's the benefit of me lying to you?"

Another sneered: "Who knows if you were sent by Hazier to lure us."

Song Zhi immediately swore to the sky: "There is absolutely no such thing."

Song Zhi said: "You arrested me because you wanted to save General Chen. Time is running out now. You only have a few hours. If it's later, I'm afraid you won't be able to save General Chen."

Several people changed their colors together: "What do you mean?"

"Hazir himself told me they're going to do it tonight."

The leader stared at Song Zhi, as if judging whether what he said was true. The eyes exposed on the black cloth showed that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Song Zhi continued: "I went to Zhuangzi with Hazier in the morning, and I know the terrain in Zhuangzi and where General Chen is locked up."

Song Zhi believed that with that Zhuangzi's defense, no matter how powerful Chen Diaohua's people were, they would not be able to penetrate into Zhuangzi. The information she provided was definitely extremely important. When those people heard it, they immediately divided into several different voices. Argue.

"General Liu has given up on my general now. If we don't find a way to rescue the general, the general will be in danger!"

"No, Lieutenant General! We can't trust him! If he was sent by Hazier and we listened to his words, wouldn't we just step into a trap?"

"But if what he said is true, if we miss tonight, we will never see General Chen again."

"To save General Chen, it's worth taking this risk!"

A group of people discussed in a hurry, but there was no conclusion for a while.

At this time, the leader asked Song Zhi, "Why did you help us?"

Song Zhi waited for them to ask, and after listening, she immediately stood up and bowed deeply to him:

"A villain is not talented, but he is also a Song person."

This doesn't sound like a brilliant reason, but it's clear and it touches the hearts of people like them the most.

"Okay!" The deputy general stared at Song Zhi for a while, seeing that although Song Zhi was young, she had an extraordinary bearing, and her words were neither humble nor overbearing, so she immediately said, "We trust you for now, but..."

Song Zhi raised her head in doubt, and was about to ask nothing, but saw that the officer raised his hand at him and slashed at the back of his neck.

There was a sudden sharp pain on the back of her neck, Song Zhi let out a muffled groan, and half-kneeled on the ground, the pain made her forehead break out in cold sweat.

"Deputy General, you..." Song Zhi gasped and asked, "...What do you mean?"

The lieutenant bent down, pinched Song Zhi's chin, and said in a cold voice: "Boy, although we believe you for now, you'd better not play tricks, otherwise we will die, and we can drag you to be buried with us before we die. understand?"
