Chapter 100 Do not leave the barracks for half a step without permission

Chapter 100 You are not allowed to leave the military camp without permission

"Master Hou, it's not good!"

Song Baichuan was studying the marching route when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and then his confidant Pei Qi walked in in a hurry.

"What happened?"

"Master Marquis, the prince wants to take the initiative to attack with troops. We are currently deploying troops and horses."

Hearing this, Song Baichuan stood up from his stool with a swoosh, "What nonsense! The current situation is not good for us. Doing this is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap."

"I heard that the young lady has disappeared. The prince guessed that she had sneaked into the team of sacrificial women, so he wanted to lead troops to rescue..."

Song Baichuan paused and looked back at Pei Qi: "You said Ling'er got into the woman who was going to be sacrificed?"

Pei Qi didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, lowered his head and said, "It's just speculation, it's not certain yet."

With Ling'er's cleverness and eccentricity, it is indeed possible for her to do this.

Thinking of this, Song Baichuan became less nervous. On the way to find Jun Tingsheng, he thought calmly.

"Hurry up and go when you're ready!"

At this time, Jun Tingsheng was in a panic. He couldn't calm down. At the moment, he just wanted to bring Song Baoling back.

"Your Majesty, please be patient and don't be impatient."

Song Baichuan walked up to him with a serious expression, glanced at the chaotic camp, and frowned displeased: "Pei Qi, give me my order. No one is allowed to leave the camp without permission."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it immediately."

Jun Tingsheng's face suddenly darkened and he said, "Master Hou, Ling'er may be in danger. I must bring her back as soon as possible."

Song Baichuan looked at him with scrutinizing eyes. After a moment, his expression suddenly softened.

"Okay, Ling'er has been very smart since she was a child. Ever since she came here with us, her words and deeds have impressed you and me."

After a pause, Song Baichuan sighed and said seriously: "She is not someone who doesn't care about the overall situation. With her intelligence, let's just trust her for once."

"Wait for now. If there is no news about her within two days, I will allow you to lead the troops."

After hearing these words, Jun Tingsheng gradually calmed down from his out-of-control emotions. He had always known that Song Baoling had something that ordinary people didn't have, whether it was her prophecy or her wit, which was enough to protect herself.

After taking a deep breath and exhaling it, Jun Tingsheng turned around and saluted Song Baichuan: "Master Hou, what you said makes sense. I am eager to save people. I hope you can forgive me."

Song Baichuan did not blame him, and after explaining everything, he returned to the main tent, leaving Pei Qi behind Jun Tingsheng to help train the troops.

He said it was to help, but in fact it was to supervise. He was still worried that Jun Tingsheng would not be able to resist rescuing people. If he did, he would probably alert the enemy, which would be counterproductive.

Here, Song Baoling had indeed slipped into the group of women being sacrificed. At this time, she and Yun Niang were blindfolded and sent to a mysterious place.

"You shouldn't have come."

"If you can come, so can I."

"My Lord and the Crown Prince will be worried about you."

"Don't worry, let's act together and get twice the result with half the effort."

The two of them murmured in low voices. Song Baoling turned her head and smelled her clothes, feeling relieved after confirming that the fragrance was emitting from her body.

The fragrance emanating from her body can cause insects and ants to quickly gather and die. She must have left marks along the way.

As Song Baichuan expected, Jun Tingsheng couldn't stay any longer before an hour passed, and left the camp to investigate alone when no one was paying attention.

"Master Hou, I need subordinates..."

Before Pei Qi could finish speaking, Song Baichuan raised his hand to stop him: "No, let him go."

"Yes, Lord Marquis, my subordinates are resigning."

Song Baichuan watched him walk out of the tent, thinking that Song Baoling might already be in the gangster's den at this time, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

Although he believed that Song Baoling had the ability to protect herself, as a father, it was his dereliction of duty to put his daughter in danger.

As evening approached, Jun Tingsheng finally came back, but with a heavy look on his face.

"Master Hou."

Song Baichuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said in a calm tone: "What did you find out?"

"I inquired about their whereabouts, and when I followed the traces, I found that there were many insects and ants gathering on the road."

Speaking of this, Jun Tingsheng paused. When he saw the corpses of those insects and ants, his first reaction was that Song Baoling had done it.

"After I noticed something was wrong, I followed along to investigate, and found that the corpses of the insects and ants were connected together in a road. I thought... it should be the mark left by Ling'er for us."

After listening to this, Song Baichuan suddenly remembered that Song Baoling had done something similar in the past few years. It must be her.

"This matter is a bit strange. We can't act until we are sure whether it is Linger or not, so as not to alert the snake."

"But what if it's really Ling'er?"

The matter once again reached a deadlock. Song Baichuan looked at Jun Tingsheng's eager face. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's do this. You can bring a small team to investigate first, and any news will be sent back in time."

Jun Tingsheng suddenly felt happy and immediately nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I won't let anything happen to Ling'er."

At this time, on the other side, Song Baoling and Yun Niang had been taken to the gangster's den, and they were imprisoned in a house with other women.

Song Baoling looked at the crying women beside her. Several of them were similar to her in age and looked like they were just children.

"Okay, stop crying, we'll be fine."

"God will not let them take human life lightly. Someone will definitely come to save us. Stop crying..."

Song Baoling gently comforted the little girl next to her. Compared with the other frightened women, her calm appearance attracted the attention of a woman.

The woman stared at her for a long time and found that not only did she not have any fear, but she was also surprisingly calm.

"Are not you afraid?"

A pair of feet suddenly appeared in her field of vision. Song Baoling looked up along her trouser legs and saw clearly the young woman in front of her. She blinked and said, "There is no one here who is not afraid."

"Yeah?"

The woman knelt down and stared at Song Baoling. After sizing her up, she said, "But I don't think you look scared."

Song Baoling did not respond to this. She felt that this woman was not simple. It was better not to expose her easily before she understood her purpose.

"My name is Xiangxiang, and I have been locked up here for half a year."

Half a year?

Song Baoling stared at her and rolled his eyes, "My name is Ling'er. My sister has been here for so long, haven't you ever thought about escaping?"

A flash of surprise flashed through Xiangxiang's eyes, and she asked, "You want to escape?"

"Don't you want to?"

Facing Song Baoling's rhetorical question, Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't think I'll be able to escape in this life."

She sighed softly, then lifted up her sleeves to reveal the scars on her arms, and then rolled up her trouser legs to show Song Baoling.

"They were all beaten. It's impossible to escape after being caught here."
