Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice
Chapter 83: Important News
"General, please have some tea!"
She changed her voice, and a soft male voice came into the other person's ears.
Zhang Shanxi turned around and Tao Yuwei saw his entire face clearly.
She exclaimed in her heart, "Oh my god!"
A fat man with big ears and a fat face with a lot of flesh on it, which squeezed his eyes into squinty ones. His eyes were so narrow that only a slit was left for him to see through.
What is even more offensive is his upturned nose. Not only are his two big nostrils exposed, but his disgusting nose hairs are also growing outside.
She memorized this face deeply.
The other person took the teacup from her hand and drank it all in one gulp without caring about anything.
"Come here and rub my back."
Zhang Shanxi handed the empty teacup to Tao Yuwei.
Tao Yuwei lowered her eyes to take the bowl, but the other party took the opportunity to catch her.
"Boy, your hands are so white! Hehe, it doesn't match your complexion at all. Serve this general well. In the future, if you follow this general, you will definitely get benefits."
Zhang Shanxi narrowed his eyes and held her hand tightly, his obscene face was disgusting.
Tao Yuwei just turned her wrist lightly and her hand was successfully freed.
Restraining the strong murderous intent in her heart, she kept reminding herself to put the overall situation first.
The teacup also fell to the ground at this moment and broke into pieces. Seeing this, Zhang Shanxi, most of his body was soaked in the super large bathtub, and his fat and trembling face suddenly sank.
"Boy, you dare to disobey this general? Come here, serve this general and rub his back."
He had been arranged by his brother to live in this godforsaken place for more than three years, and he was almost suffocating.
He almost killed some of the goods those people sent to him, and now someone finally came to his door, he can't let him go.
Zhang Shanxi pulled his fat and ugly face to threaten Tao Yuwei.
No matter how many thoughts Tao Yuwei had in her mind, no matter how many guesses she had in her heart, she did not show them on her dark face.
"General, I dare not. I will serve you right away. Please do not tie me up."
If she hadn't wanted to get information from this person, she would have taken action long ago.
She walked behind him, picked up the handkerchief placed aside, and pretended to rub his back, but her hand shook and the handkerchief fell to the ground.
Pleased by her frightened and timid look, Zhang Shanxi let out a short, quick laugh.
"Did you see those two people who were tied up and beaten? Don't worry, as long as you are willing to stay by my side, I will not treat you like that."
Zhang Shanxi enjoyed the skinny soldier's fearful attitude towards him.
Only in this way can he feel inexplicably happy.
This young soldier met his requirements very well. He was very young, and his eyes were full of innocence and fear. Just like the goods sent from the capital, he was fascinated by them.
I don’t know how long he will stay here. It would be great if he could return to the capital and become a high-ranking official.
He can then enjoy the pleasure of various goods to his heart's content.
It’s not like now, he has a home but cannot return, he has happiness but cannot enjoy it, he has to hide in this deserted mountain all year round, doing training with a group of soldiers.
He was almost fed up and wrote many letters to his eldest brother, hoping that he would transfer him back to the capital, but his eldest brother sternly refused.
In the reply letter, he was scolded and said that this arrangement was good for him.
Humph, what a bullshit! The eldest brother lives in the capital, eating and drinking well, but he was driven out of the house and worked like a slave for him.
Why? As for those goods that were to be sold to Lingzhou, every time they passed by here, he would secretly seize a portion of them.
"From what I've seen, they were beaten badly, and their clothes don't look like our soldiers. Could they be thieves who sneaked into our camp?"
Tao Yuwei picked up the handkerchief reluctantly, turned her innocent eyes, stood there timidly and asked with pretended curiosity.
Zhang Shanxi, who was lying in the bathtub, was in a good mood at the moment, and spoke to Tao Yuwei in a proud manner.
"You guessed correctly. Those two people actually wanted to rob the goods we sent from the capital. Fortunately, this general was very smart and found clues on the way to meet the goods. He caught the criminals hiding in the goods. Now he is imprisoned in a cell in a nearby cave."
After interrogation, the two men admitted that they were brothers engaged in human trafficking around the capital. They heard from their colleagues that there were goods in the slum in the south of the city, so they became malicious and wanted to snatch some people from there and take them away to sell, so they followed the goods all the way.
Tomorrow, he would write to his eldest brother and ask for his advice on how to deal with the two people. He would also ask his eldest brother to report to the higher authorities for him.
When Tao Yuwei heard that her two guards were still alive, her worries were reduced a little.
She found that this fat general was not very smart and was actually assigned here to be in charge of a large number of private soldiers. This showed how stupid his master was.
In her opinion, it was quite strange that a idiot was placed in such an important place and stayed there for several years without anything happening.
Perhaps it was because the surrounding geographical location was too hidden that it was luckily not discovered.
So, Tao Yuwei decided to take a bold test.
"I also saw some children. Are they here to serve as soldiers as well?"
"They are too young to be soldiers. They are here to serve this general. The others have all been sent to Lingzhou."
Zhang Shanxi was drowsy while soaking in the water. He didn't think much about it and these important words came out of his mouth.
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and urged impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and come and rub my back!"
Now that she had received the news, how could Tao Yuwei stay any longer? Her mood continued to sink.
The man in front of me actually had that peculiar hobby. The children who fell into his hands must have been killed by him.
This person is so crazy, he deserves to die!
Tao Yuwei was so angry that she almost attacked someone, but in the end, reason prevailed.
Let's keep this man's head for now. He is very important evidence and we can't take his life now.
Those who do evil will eventually perish, and the punishment waiting for him will be no less than that. When the people from Xiao Yuwei arrive, all the evil deeds this man has done will be presented before the Emperor, and he will not survive.
She attacked with lightning speed and punched the man, knocking him unconscious.
Without any more hesitation, she quickly walked out of the tent.
He avoided the patrol soldiers all the way, planning to go around the front of the mountain and rescue people at night.
In Prince Xin’s Mansion in the capital.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Chengyan received a carrier pigeon sent from outside the city.
After opening it and reading the contents, his face changed drastically. He immediately put on his coat and shouted coldly to the outside of the door, "Yin Gen, take a group of people with you and follow me out of the city now."
Princess Anle actually went to the northwest direction of Lingzhou with her good cousin, Prince Yong.
No wonder he had been feeling inexplicably uneasy, it turned out that this was the problem.
He must rush there as soon as possible, as that place is extremely important to him. This time, that place may not be saved.
In order to avoid being discovered by Xiao Yuwei's people, he had to rush over and kill some important people first.
Xiao Chengyan had a gloomy face, and he and Yin Gen left the palace through the secret passage inside the palace.
At this moment, Tao Yuwei took a detour to the cave halfway up the mountain to rescue people. She didn't know that someone had followed her before.
However, he lost her and followed Xiao Lichen and the others instead.
Tao Yuwei climbed to the middle of the mountain overnight. She ignored the sweat on her face, looked at the cave in front of her, and quickened her pace.
When she arrived at the entrance of the cave, she looked carefully and found that there was no one guarding it, which made her much bolder.
She nimbly entered the cave, and every time she walked a distance, there were torches lit with kerosene on the stone walls of the cave for lighting.
This made the dark cave very bright.
Walking deeper into the cave, she went down several spiral stairs before finally seeing the prison cell.
The cell space here is very large and is divided into two areas.
One was a smaller cell with two people in it.
They leaned against the mountain wall and fell asleep.
In the large cell on the other side, there were five or six children and one adult.
Tao Yuwei walked towards the door of the smaller cell. Not long after she stood there, Liu Tao and Zhang Hu opened their eyes.
They did not recognize Tao Yuwei, whose entire face was blackened, and sat there, staring at her in silence and with vigilance.
"Two big guards, it's me. I'm here to save you." Tao Yuwei said to them in a very low voice.
I saw that both of them were covered in bruises, especially on their upper bodies, which were covered in blood. The clothes they were wearing were soaked in blood.
Without waiting for them to speak, Tao Yuwei put her hands in her arms and took out two bottles of repairing fluids that were very helpful for healing body wounds through the space ring hidden inside.
"You guys drink it."
She threw two bottles of repair fluid into the cell.
Liu Tao and Zhang Hu were surprised when they recognized her voice. Then, Liu Tao immediately persuaded her, "Princess, please leave here immediately and go back to tell the general that there are private soldiers hiding here. Ask him to bring people to encircle and suppress them as soon as possible."
"Don't panic, drink the medicine quickly, I will rescue you now."
As Tao Yuwei spoke, she picked up a knife used for interrogation outside the cell and chopped the cell door open with force.
The two guards took the medicine she gave them and quickly drank it.
"Princess, we are seriously injured. Please leave us alone for now. Please leave!"
As soon as they were caught, they were severely beaten by the enemy. Then they were taken to the mountain and beaten again outside the cave.
Now, there was not a single piece of good meat left on the backs of both of their upper bodies, as they were all beaten to pieces.
If they hadn't had many years of experience at the border, they would have been unable to make it.
They managed to hold on for several days with their willpower. During these days, the people here were very cruel to them and did not give them food or water. They were exhausted all over, and their wounds became inflamed. They both had high fevers many times.
"Wait a little longer. Once the medicine takes effect, I'll take you down the mountain."
Soon after Liu Tao and Zhang Hu drank the medicine, they felt the burning pain in their backs, but it didn't hurt as much anymore.
It makes them feel magical.
The medicine given by Princess Anle was different. After returning, they shamelessly asked the general for more and kept them for later use if they were injured.
They said no more, gathered their strength, and waited for the medicine to take effect.
In the cell next door, several other children were sleeping, only an adult man woke up at this time.
When he saw Tao Yuwei helping Liu Tao and others open the cell door, a look of joy flashed across his handsome face.
He climbed up from the hay, hurried to the door of the cell, grabbed the cell column tightly, and asked Tao Yuwei, "Hey, little brother, please help us open the cell door too!"
This person was Cui Ming, whom Tao Yuwei was looking for before.
Originally he was going to be sold to Lingzhou.
It was Zhang Shanxi's order that he was brought here.
Tao Yuwei turned around, looked at him, and did not refuse.
"I can open the cell door for you. After we get down the mountain, you must follow us quietly and don't run around. If there are pursuers, it will depend on your own ability to escape."
Taking these people down the mountain would definitely alert the enemy, but she couldn't just ignore them.
However, her abilities were limited after all, and she could not guarantee to protect them all.
Cui Ming happily agreed, "Thank you, little brother. My name is Cui Ming. May I ask what your name is, benefactor?"
After hearing him introduce himself, Tao Yuwei looked him up and down in surprise.
Cui Ming has a handsome face and fair skin, no wonder the fat general detained him.
When she was investigating the human traffickers, in order to find an excuse, she told her father about the groom in the Sixth Prince's mansion.
Unexpectedly, she met him here by accident.
Liu Tao and Zhang Hu, who also heard his name, showed surprise on their faces.
Isn’t this the person the princess is looking for?
"Let's talk about this after we get out. First wake up these kids and tell them to be quiet."
She looked at the five children huddled together behind Cui Ming. There were three boys and two girls. They were not too old, probably around eight to ten years old.
Tao Yuwei did not choose to reveal her identity here.
Now is not the time to reveal her identity. She doesn't know when Xiao Yuwei will come. If he doesn't come tomorrow, she will have to find a way to figure out who is the master who recruited these private soldiers.
Cui Ming nodded, returned to the cell, and quietly woke up the sleeping children one by one.
After listening to his explanation, each of the children looked at Tao Yuwei who was standing outside the cell with timid eyes.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here to rescue you. When we get down the mountain, don't make any noise, or you'll be caught by the people down there."
Tao Yuwei comforted them with a few dry words.
Several children nodded obediently and left it to her to make the decision.
After waiting for a while, the repair fluid took effect on Liu Tao and Zhang Hu. The wounds on their bodies were slowly healing, and gradually they no longer felt the pain in the wounds.
Although they hadn't eaten for several days, they felt an inexplicable amount of inexhaustible power in their bodies.
"Miss, our wounds have healed."
Liu Tao's voice is much stronger than before when he speaks.
Tao Yuwei also chopped open the door of the big cell, and Cui Ming inside quickly walked out of the cell with five children.
Tao Yuwei walked in front, and they left the cave before dawn.
They followed her into the nearby dense forest.
A few hours later.
Xiao Lichen leaned against a big tree and opened his eyes.
