Chapter 210

After Shen Yuexi calmed down, before she had time to think about the situation, she heard noisy voices from downstairs.

The stairs made a "thumping" sound, as if many people rushed up.

She looked behind her and jumped on the bed.To be on the safe side, the farther away from the door the better.

A number of Jingzhou sergeants with torches and weapons rushed through the door first, and then a general laughed and walked in, saying, "Sure enough, I caught a mouse."

Shen Yuexi didn't panic.The iron cage has no exit at all, she can't get out, and they can't get in, so there should be no danger for a while.Then he retorted: "Do you only use intrigues to deal with others?"

The general walked up to the iron cage, stared at Shen Yuexi who was standing on the bed, and said, "The general found traces of someone breaking in the day before yesterday, so he guessed that he would come again if he failed once. Tell me, are you Xiao Zhuo's subordinate?"

"Hmm...that seems to be right." Shen Yuexi felt that what he said was quite reasonable, so she nodded.

"Then Xiao Zhuo sent you here twice in a row, intending to kidnap and blackmail the General's wife, and use her to blackmail the General?"

Shen Yuexi curled her lips, and said: "Your Jingzhou Army has been beaten up like this, and it will be completely defeated in a short time. Is there still a need for such a despicable trick of kidnapping the general's wife?"

"You...you, you..." The general raised his finger angrily and said to Shen Yuexi, "You damn girl, you are still stubborn when you are about to die."

He turned his head and said to the soldiers: "Open the cage quickly, take this girl out and torture her severely!"

Shen Yuexi was taken aback, it would be very bad if she really wanted to catch her out.

A sergeant said: "General, the railing of this cage is so thick that we can't break it. It takes the general's Yan Que sword to cut it."

The general scratched his head and said, "That's true."

He turned around and said, "Since you didn't come to kidnap the general's wife, what are you here for?"

"Shen Lan is my sister, I'm here to find my sister." Shen Yuexi raised her voice, "Where is my sister?"

"You said the general's wife is your sister?" The general was shocked when he heard this, and quickly said to the sergeant who was holding the torch behind him, "Hurry up and bring the torch closer, let me take a closer look."

Just as the iron cage fell, the lamps and candles on the table were knocked to the ground and extinguished.The sergeant held a torch and came to the iron cage. The general took a closer look at Shen Yuexi's face and shouted in surprise: "It really is Shen Yuexi! Xiao Zhuo's wife."

He stopped talking to Shen Yuexi, and said to the sergeants: "You have to watch carefully, if you let her run away, I'll cut off your heads!"

The sergeant asked, "Where is the general going?"

"I'm going to the northern camp to inform the general. The general will be happy."

After finishing speaking, the general excitedly ran downstairs, not forgetting to shout: "Remember to watch her."

Several sergeants in the room look at me and I look at you.One said: "With this iron cage, she can't escape at all, right?"

"That's right," another echoed, "But the general has an order, so let's just watch here."

Shen Yuexi asked: "Let me ask you, where is the wife of your great general now? I want to see her."

He came here to save Shen Lan, so he couldn't even find him.

As soon as she finished speaking, a sergeant's voice came from outside the door: "I have seen Madam."

Shen Yuexi raised her eyes to look at the door, just in time to meet the eyes of Shen Lan who walked in from the door.

Wearing a filial piety dress, with light makeup on her face and a gloomy complexion, she looked displeased with everyone, entered the door and stood in the center of the room, saying to the surrounding sergeants: "You go out first, I want to say a few words to my sister. "

The sergeants wondered: "Ma'am, General Zhou ordered..."

"Presumptuous!" Shen Lan turned cold, "A group of you men broke into my room, aren't you afraid that I will tell the general that you have bad intentions?"

A sergeant hurriedly said to Shen Lan: "Madam, calm down. We are also following General Zhou's orders. Madam can speak up if she wants to. We'll just wait downstairs."

The other said: "Let's go, what if Shen Yuexi runs away?"

"What are you talking about? Such a thick iron cage, let alone her, even General Zhou can't escape after being locked in it."

All the sergeants went out and went downstairs one after another while whispering to each other.

Seeing the sergeants leave, Shen Lan's expression changed, and she hurried over, grabbed the rail of the cage with both hands and said, "Sister, why are you here?"

Shen Yuexi also jumped out of the bed, came to the iron cage, and said to Shen Lan: "Sister, I sent someone to rescue you, but you refused to follow, so I had no choice but to come in person."

After hearing this, Shen Lan lowered her head and said, "I'm already Xiao Kai's wife, how can you save me?"

Shen Yuexi said: "Sister, has he been beating and scolding you?"

That's all she cares about.Although Qiang Lin said it was so, she still wanted to verify it with Shen Lan.

Shen Lan shook her head and said, "Don't talk about it now. That General Zhou went to find Xiao Kai, you have to run away quickly."

She didn't know what to do for a while, so she directly used both hands to break the iron railing.Shen Yuexi didn't care about that, and put both hands through the railing, one hand held Shen Lan's wrist, and the other hand pushed Shen Lan's sleeve up.

"Don't look!" Shen Lan wanted to retract her hand, but Shen Yuexi grabbed her wrist and failed to retract it.

On the white arm, there were streaks of bloodstains, as if being whipped or cut by a knife.There are old ones and there are new ones.

"He's not human at all." Shen Yuexi gritted her teeth.

Even if Shen Lan wasn't her elder sister, she would be angry seeing a strange woman being treated like this by her husband.

Even if the arm is like this, there must be more injuries on the body.

Shen Lan leaned her forehead against the iron railing, sobbing in a low voice: "Don't talk about that. Find a way... let you escape."

"Sister, come with me." Shen Yuexi stretched out her hand to hold Shen Lan's cheek, "Don't be tortured by that man anymore."

"I...I can't go." Shen Lan took a step back in horror.

"Sister, are you confused?" Shen Yuexi said angrily, "Xiao Kai tortured you so much, yet you still want to stay by his side?"

"Sister, you're confused. I'm Xiao Kai's matchmaker who is marrying me. If I run away, what will others say? At that time, thousands of people will point fingers and thousands of people will scold me, how can I live?"

"Even if he beats you, scolds you, even if you're covered in bruises, you won't leave?" Shen Yuexi asked incredulously.

"He just hit my body, not my face. I can still see people..."

Shen Yuexi was speechless.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lan still felt that Xiao Kai played well, which really made her feel terrible.

"This is the life you want, sister? What you want is to be beaten and scolded by a man you have never liked?" Shen Yuexi said bitterly, "I remember that my sister hates Xiao Kai very much."

"Yes... that's right," Shen Lan wiped away her tears and said, "But marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog. I can only blame my life. Unless he divorces me."

Shen Yuexi was taken aback.

Su Mo also said this to her.

Can women in this era really not control their own destiny?
"No, sister. I can't just watch you in this pit of fire," Shen Yuexi took Shen Lan's hand, "Come with me, my husband will soon defeat Xiao Kai, you must leave here."

"Don't think about me," Shen Lan said, "Sister, you are locked up here, and you still think about what I do."

"As long as my sister agrees to come with me, my sister has a way." Shen Yuexi begged hurriedly, "Sister, come with me."

"No, I can't go with you," Shen Lan broke away from Shen Yuexi's hand, "I'll go find the saw, sister, you can run away, and leave me alone. We must hurry up, once Xiao Kai comes back, you will be finished."

"Sister!" Shen Yuexi shouted.

When the sergeant downstairs heard Shen Yuexi's voice upstairs, he shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect Madam and this Shen Yuexi to be sisters."

Another said: "One of them is Xiao Zhuo's wife, and the other is our great general's wife. Although they are sisters, they are now hostile. It's quite pitiful."

All the sergeants discussed downstairs for a long time until Xiao Kai and General Zhou appeared together.

"Is Shen Yuexi imprisoned upstairs?" Xiao Kai asked with joy when he came to the soldiers.

If that's the case, it's not in vain for him to rush back overnight.

"Yes, Madam and her were talking on it, and there seemed to be no movement for a long time." A sergeant replied.

Xiao Kai smiled and said: "Xiao Zhuo seems to have always attached great importance to this Shen Yuexi, if she is caught, it would be great."

General Zhou laughed and said: "The last general will lead the way for the general."

All the sergeants followed behind, and a large group of people went upstairs noisily.Until General Zhou, who was walking in the front, let out an exclamation.

"Where are the cages? Where are the people?"
