Chapter 128 The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword
The dungeon fell into deathly silence in an instant.
The guards looked at each other.
Several guards were stunned for a moment, then they followed the wall, with their backs against the wall and weapons in hand, and crawled horizontally upwards towards the dungeon entrance.
Their eyes were filled with fear and caution, and Wang Wu kept looking around.
Losing two companions in an instant would fill anyone's heart with fear.
Suddenly, several guards saw a slightly thin black shadow flash before their eyes at an extremely fast speed, and it actually floated towards the door of the dungeon.
In the blink of an eye, the guards stabbed the thin black shadow with their swords.
In a hurry, Shen Yuyao turned around and drew the sword in his hand to meet the enemy.
"when!"
The crisp sound of swords colliding.
With one sword, Shen Yuyao actually repelled all the swords that were stabbing at her.
"court death!"
Shen Yuyao sneered, and the guards then saw that the black shadow was actually a thin, masked woman.
The guards, who had been trembling with fear just now, suddenly seemed to be energized.
It’s not a ghost, it’s a human!
Still a woman!
What is there to be afraid of?
The palace guards looked at each other and attacked at the same time in tacit understanding.
Hit with all your strength and show no mercy.
The tunnel was narrow, and Shen Yuyao had to deal with several guards alone. Although she was not defeated, it was not easy for her to kill them quickly.
"boom!"
"when!"
The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword.
Shen Yuyao was countering the opponent's moves and the two sides were in a stalemate when suddenly the entrance on the ground became bright.
A guard holding a torch ran into the tunnel and shouted, "There's a fire in the Peony Garden. To prevent any accidents, your Majesty, kill all the people in the prison without mercy!"
"The person in the prison will be killed without mercy!"
"The medicine man in the prison, Ge..."
Shen Yuyao became anxious and blocked the nearest sword, then squatted down. A stone flew out quickly and hit the attacker's throat.
"puff!"
The guard didn't even have time to see the situation inside the cave clearly.
Then he fell straight back.
There’s one more on the road to the underworld!
The guards in the dungeon were obviously panicked now, and one of the guards' sword missed by half an inch when it was stabbing towards Shen Yuyao.
Reveal a flaw.
The next second, Shen Yuyao's sword pierced the guard's chest without hesitation.
"Pfft!"
The sound of a long sword piercing the flesh of the chest.
"what!"
With a scream of pain, the guard who was stabbed by the sword fell to the ground on his back.
The remaining guards all looked miserable, and their attacks became increasingly chaotic.
"what!"
"Um"
"puff!"
"puff!"
......
After a few muffled groans, Shen Yuyao looked around and found that there were no more guards standing in the dungeon.
She didn't have time to check, and with a "clang", the sword cut the chains of the dungeon.
As soon as Shen Yuyao entered the dungeon, she was hit by a foul smell that was extremely unpleasant.
Walking further in, the stench mixed with the smell of human excrement made Shen Yuyao cry.
Purgatory on earth!
At this moment, Shen Yuyao felt very sorry for the women imprisoned in the dungeon.
How did they survive?
They are all pregnant women!
Because this place is even darker and more damp than the imperial prison.
Shen Yuyao took the torch at the dungeon door and shone it inside.
The dungeon is a rectangular space divided into dozens of small cells by iron fences.
Each cell is roughly large enough to accommodate two people.
There was a straw bed in the cell, with two filthy pottery bowls beside it and a small wooden barrel at the foot of the bed.
Apart from this, there are no other items.
"Come out! Quickly!" Shen Yuyao went to each cell and first broke the chains, then called the women and asked them to come out quickly.
Shen Yuyao didn't have time to take a closer look, and had to take these women locked in the dungeon out as soon as possible!
She was afraid that if she delayed too long, the soldiers and guards from the Prince of Qin's mansion would rush over after hearing the news.
Shen Yuyao herself could escape easily, but she couldn't take these women with her.
Fortunately, there happened to be a fire in the Peony Garden at that time. I think the guards should have gone to help put out the fire first, so they didn't get to the dungeon in time.
"Hey, sisters, come out quickly." Shen Yuyao called out to the women again.
But almost without exception, they all looked at Shen Yuyao, then turned away and stopped looking at her.
His expression was very confused.
They all had dull eyes.
"Hey, I'm here to save you!"
"Come out with me, I'll take you home!" Shen Yuyao was a little anxious. These pregnant women seemed to be unable to hear her calls and continued to do as they pleased, either sitting or lying down.
Shen Yuyao even began to wonder, are they ghosts? Or is she a ghost?
"Hey! Do you really not want your child to be born alive?"
Shen Yuyao cried and shouted desperately.
In the middle, one or two women turned their heads to look at her, but their eyes were still empty and the muscles on their faces were trembling slightly.
Shen Yuyao walked to the cell of one of the women and ripped off the chain. "Big sister, do you want the baby in your belly to live?"
Shen Yuyao walked to the woman's side, took her hand and placed it on her protruding belly.
"Touch it, are you really not going to give him a chance to live?"
Shen Yuyao was a little angry at his lack of fighting spirit and felt sorry for his misfortune.
The woman was somewhat moved, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
"Think about it. If you believe me, I will take you out." Shen Yuyao said softly, "Let's go to another place and start over in the future!"
"The child will grow up, and either pass the imperial examination or serve as a filial son by your bedside."
"Don't you really want to have such a day?"
"miss you!"
The woman suddenly nodded and answered loudly, tears streaming down her face, and finally there was some light in her eyes.
"Trust me, I will definitely help you escape!"
"Sisters, the one who harmed you is Qin Wangfu's concubine Deng. If you are willing to believe me, follow me and escape from Qin Wangfu!"
"I believe that Deng has received the news by now. If you are willing to believe me, please follow me. If you really don't want to leave, please protect yourself."
"After escaping today, I will come to rescue you as soon as possible!"
After Shen Yuyao finished speaking, she walked towards the dungeon entrance without looking back.
The woman who agreed to go with him followed closely behind him, and when she walked out of the cage door, she turned around and shouted, "Sisters, let's go and give our child a chance to live."
One after another, some women seemed to have just come to their senses, and everyone rushed out of the cell.
As soon as she walked out of the dungeon entrance, Shen Yuyao released fireworks into the sky.
She contacted the Black Dragon Guards in Xijing a few days ago. They had been lying in ambush around the Prince Qin's Mansion for several days, waiting for Shen Yuyao to set off the fireworks.
Shen Yuyao led more than ten women and walked very slowly. The flames rising from the Peony Garden made the women even more frightened. One of them even turned around and walked towards the dungeon entrance.
