After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 98
For dinner, each person has a steamed bun and a bowl of rice porridge.The buns smelled musty.

Ning Youbei naturally wouldn't eat these, even Qu Chu didn't eat them either.

Although Qu Chu had eaten worse and more disgusting food than this, there was no other way.Now that she just doesn't eat a meal and won't starve to death, she naturally won't wrong her stomach.

"Ah Chu, when can I go out?"

"tonight".

Ning Youbei was happy when he got Qu Chu's clear answer.

Although Ning Youbei still didn't understand why Qu Chu came into the cell, he believed that Qu Chu had her own purpose in acting.

……

Ugly at the right time

This is the time when people sleep the most deeply, and the people in the cell are no exception.

Qu Chu pulled out a wire from the bottom of his boot and unlocked the cell.

She took Ning Youbei's hand and motioned him to follow her closely.

Qu Chu came to the cell next door and also opened the lock with a wire.

Qu Chu walked in and mentioned the old man who had repeatedly entered the cell, but what he didn't expect was: the old man opened his eyes.

Qu Chu mercilessly knocked the old man unconscious, and just like that, Shi Shiran carried the old man and Ning Youbei to the outside of the cell.

When passing by the resting area of ​​the cell heads, the two cell heads were sleeping in the dark.

Qu Chu took out a bottle from his body and put it under their noses. After a while, he put the bottle away and began to touch the key on his head.

"Ah Chu, why don't you use a wire to open the lock? Why do you still need to find the key?"

"The locks in those cells are the simplest, so they can be opened with wire, but the locks on the prison gates are specially made and cannot be opened without a key."

Ning Youbei thought that Qu Chu was really so magical that he could open any lock with a wire.

"Ah Chu, can you teach me how to pick a lock in the future?"

Qu Chu didn't expect that Ning Youbei was still in the mood to think about such a thing at this time, and when he glanced at him, his beautiful peach blossom eyes shone brightly.

……

The three quickly left the cell.

"Ah Chu, why is it so easy to get out of the cell?"

"The people on our side are all thieves, and the things they commit are trivial things, so the guards are very lax.

If it was a place where serious criminals were detained, it would not be so easy to get out.Not only are the cell leaders who are changing guards watching at all times, but there are also patrolling soldiers outside. "

Ning Youbei felt more comfortable now.

"I think so too. If every prison cell is so easy to get out, I will suspect that the Dayu State Criminal Department is all fake."

Ning Youbei pointed at the old man again and said, "What do you mean by bringing him out?"

Only then did Qu Chu explain to Ning Youbei.

"I saw at the city gate of Nanyue today that the guards at the city gate are so shady and unruly, which shows that the management of the whole Nanyue is chaotic.

However, Nanyue, Nanshu, and Nanyi are adjacent to each other, and it has always been a mixed land, not only people from all over the Dayu Kingdom, but also Yi people.I want to find out if officials in South Vietnam have colluded with Yan Qingnan, Governor of Zinan, or the Nanyi Kingdom.

This old man is the object of my questioning. "

Ning Youbei still didn't understand.

"What does this old man know?"

Qu Chu didn't explain this time.

"Know it or not, you will have the answer after you ask."

……

After coming out of the cell, Qu Chu stopped several times, and after distinguishing for a while, he walked in one direction.

Ning Youbei became curious again.

"Ah Chu, what are you doing?"

"I'm looking for Yan Hong."

"How did you get in touch?"

This time, Qu Chu did not answer Ning Youbei again.

This is the unique contact method of Mantuo Villa. Except for the people in Mantuo Villa, only Qu Chu knows it.Without Su Yingxue's consent, Qu Chuzi would not tell anyone else.

Even if this person is Ning Youbei.

……

Qu Chu found Yan Hong in a small courtyard.

Seeing Qu Chu, Yan Hong said:
"This is the courtyard of a medicine merchant in the villa. I'll borrow it from him."

Ning Youbei said anxiously, "Is there anything to eat? We didn't have dinner."

Yan Hong replied: "I don't know when you will come, but I have always been prepared."

After the two finished their meal, Qu Chu woke up the old man.

When the old man saw Qu Chu, he didn't yell and make any noise; he looked around again, but there was no panic expression.

Qu Chu observed him silently, he was indeed an old man.How to ask what you want to know, it seems that you need to use both soft and hard methods.

"The main reason I got you out of the cell is that I have something to ask you. You can also mention any conditions you have."

The old man said, "Get me a table of good wine and food first."

Qu Chu signaled Yan Hong to prepare.

The old man ate hungrily, but Qu Chu didn't bother him, and let him eat to his full.

When the old man was satisfied, Qu Chufang asked the first thing.

"In the past few months, have there been Yi people in South Vietnam?"

The old man burped, and a sour smell came out of his mouth, "I stay in the cell every day, how can I know if there are Yi people in South Vietnam?"

Ning Youbei covered his mouth and nose quickly when he smelled the peculiar smell, and Yan Hong also secretly moved to the side, only Qu Chu seemed to be ignorant.

Qu Chu straightened his clothes, and instead of looking at the old man, he said slowly:
"Since you don't know whether there are Yi people in South Vietnam, then you know something, right? You are willing to stay in the cell all the time, which shows that you still want to live.

Since you want to live, you have to say something valuable, otherwise..."

After speaking, Qu Chu's hand split, and the coffee table the old man was leaning on split into two.

The sudden movement made the old man shrink back, his eyes rolled twice, and he said something.

"Last month, I just got out of the cell and slept on a big tree near the Nanyue City Lord's Mansion. In the middle of the night, there was a sound of horseshoes. I thought someone was disturbing my sleep, so I looked under the tree... ..."

Having said that, the old man stopped.

Qu Chu took out a piece of silver and threw it to the old man.

The old man took it, put it in his mouth, bit it, and put the money into his pocket.

"A total of seven or eight horses came, but everyone was wearing a black cloak, and their heads were blocked by big hats, so they couldn't see their faces clearly.

But the gate of the city lord's mansion opened, and the city lord came out to greet him personally, and I saw him call that person..."

Having said that, the old man didn't say anything.

This time, Qu Chu didn't take out any more money, but stared at the old man coldly.

Although the old man was naughty, he also had a strong sense of danger, and he sensed the murderous aura on Qu Chu.

He shrank his neck, and said reluctantly: "The city lord called someone 'Wang Ye', as for whether it is the surnamed Wang or something else, I don't know."

Ning Youbei pondered from the side:
The person the city lord came out to greet in person must not be an ordinary person, so this prince should not be a prince surnamed 'Wang', but a real prince.

But which prince?
