Chapter 353: Exploring the Shi Mansion Again
After they left, Dugu Jingyao, although her hands and feet were still bound, turned around eagerly to look at Liu Jingyue and asked, "Yuer, how are you? Did they hurt you?"
Liu Jingyue shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "Sister, I'm not hurt. They didn't really hurt me. But you were always blocking me and took quite a few hits..."
Seeing that Liu Jingyue was fine, Dugu Jingyao felt relieved. Her eyes were slightly red, but she managed a smile. "I'm fine. The injuries I've sustained while practicing martial arts were much more serious than this. And maybe the words I used to scare them just now worked. They looked like they were trying very hard, but they were actually holding back. So I'm fine too."
Although she was not seriously injured, Liu Jingyue still felt very aggrieved and couldn't help but hug Dugu Jingyao and cry.
Although Dugu Jingyao couldn't reach out her hand, she still whispered to comfort him, "Don't cry, Yue'er. Now that we are here, although we will suffer a little, we may have made a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty. Maybe we sisters will leave our names in history!"
Although I felt a little comforted, I still felt very aggrieved. In history, Concubine Dugu did leave her name in history, but what was recorded was that she was extremely favored by Li Chu because of her beauty. This had nothing to do with her sister!
The only consolation was that what she was experiencing was inconsistent with history, and maybe she could be dragged along, so that the trip would not be in vain, and all the grievances she was suffering now would be in vain.
Dugu Jingyao looked at her sister, who was still sobbing, so she whispered in Liu Jingyue's ear: "After we get out, find a way to get Li Chu to get Zhang Shi out as well, and then let her be the meat on the chopping block."
Hearing this, Liu Jingyue's eyes lit up: "That's right, if no one offends me, I won't offend anyone. But if someone offends me, haha, I will definitely repay them double!" Finally, she burst into laughter.
Liu Jingyue sat up, dipped a handkerchief in water, and wiped the tears and snot from her face.
After separating from the prince during the day, Li Chu returned to his house and called Dugu Xin and his son to discuss the rescue of Dugu Jingyao and her sisters.
Since they had the same goal, they quickly came up with a plan, which was not to attack by force. Since there were not many guards openly in their house, they planned to quietly rescue people from Shi's house.
However, this matter needs to be fully arranged before it can be implemented, so Li Chu plans to visit Shi's mansion again at night today, so that they can cooperate inside and outside to make the rescue smoother.
Sure enough, Li Chu came again that night, but this time only he and Feng Shengyi came.
Li Chu and Feng Shengyi, wearing night clothes and masks, climbed up to the roof. They came to the roof of the woodshed, opened the tiles and looked, but found that there was no trace of Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue.
Seeing this, Li Chu couldn't help but feel a little flustered, frowning slightly, thinking: Could it be that his visit to the Shi Mansion last night was exposed? This shouldn't be the case. They didn't make any noise... Otherwise, Shi Siming and Zhang wouldn't let anyone observe them...
It should have just moved to another place, so he said to Feng Shengyi behind him: "Feng Shengyi, take out Xunxiangdie."
Hearing this, Feng Shengyi took out a small wooden box from his arms. After opening it, the butterfly inside flew out after a moment and slowly flew away...
The two followed the path the scent-seeking butterfly had taken and, after checking the map, discovered they were getting closer and closer to the center of the prefecture. Li Chu wondered: Could it be that Shi Siming and Zhang had imprisoned Ayao and Jingyue right under their noses?
In less than a quarter of an hour, the scent-seeking butterfly stopped and hovered in the air. It must be that Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue were imprisoned here.
Li Chu glanced at the map. It wasn't where Shi Siming and Zhang lived, so that was a good thing. After calming down, he opened a tile and found a neat bedroom. Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue were lying on the bed.
He looked at the layout of the house and found it was much better than the woodshed, so he felt much more relaxed.
He and Feng Shengyi looked around and found that in addition to the two guards guarding the door, there were two maids in the yard, but the two maids were heading towards their own residence.
So Li Chu said to Feng Shengyi, "Feng Shengyi, go and help those two maids sleep more soundly. I'll take down the two guards downstairs."
Feng Shengyi obeyed the order and dodged. Li Chu, on the other hand, slowly moved along the edge of the eaves to the doorway, and quickly dropped down when the two people below were not paying attention.
Qian San was knocked unconscious by Li Chu's knife without any preparation. When Yu Da saw Qian San fall to the ground, he noticed Li Chu behind him and dodged when Li Chu was about to attack him.
Unfortunately, just as he was about to call for help, he was knocked unconscious by Feng Shengyi who fell from the sky.
Li Chu looked at Feng Shengyi with admiration, and then said, "Move him to the door and let him lie down." Feng Shengyi moved Yu Da to the door as he was told and let him lean against the wall. Similarly, Qian San was also supported against the wall.
After doing all this, they could enter the house openly. However, in order to prevent anyone from coming, Li Chu asked Feng Shengyi to watch the wind on the roof while he pushed open the door and entered.
Dugu Jingyao, with her years of martial arts training and military experience in her previous life, was naturally very sensitive to the sounds of fighting. She heard the noise when Qian San fell to the ground.
So, when she heard the noise, she whispered to Liu Jingyue, "Shh, Yue'er, there's movement outside."
Liu Jingyue was like a frightened bird at this moment. Dugu Jingyao whispered again: "Yue'er, take out the dagger on the side of my boot. If a thief wants to hurt you, use it to defend yourself."
Liu Jingyue was moved, and suddenly realized something. She whispered, "Sister, why didn't you tell me you had a dagger? Then I can help you cut the rope, right?"
Dugu Jingyao shook her head. "I'm just trying to give them the illusion that we're completely defenseless. When they come to rescue us, we can attack them from the outside and catch them off guard. If we reveal the dagger too early, we'll both be tied up and it won't be easy to run away."
Liu Jingyue felt that this made sense, so she took the dagger and jumped to the door.
Li Chu pushed the door open and entered the house. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, a dagger hit his face. Fortunately, Li Chu reacted quickly. In addition, Liu Jingyue herself did not know martial arts. Li Chu easily subdued Liu Jingyue and then took off his mask and said, "It's me!"
