Chapter 205 Breaking into the Prison
Chapter 205 Breaking into the Prison
Relying on his memory, Shen Mingjue climbed over the wall with twenty of his personal soldiers and entered the Scythian military camp. Fortunately, the location where they stored food and fodder had not been changed. While almost everyone went to have dinner, they set their food and fodder on fire with several fires.
The next thing to do was more difficult. The Scythians were particularly smart. Their food and grass were wrapped in a layer of fireproof material. If you want to make the fire bigger, you have to break through this material. However, once the fire started, someone would come to put it out. In order to prevent others from risking their lives, Shen Mingjue could only deal with the fireproof material in the middle by himself.
He sent two men to find where the prisoner was being held, but there was no reply.
"Oh no, someone set the fire!"
"Quick! Send more people to find the enemy!"
While the Scythians were putting out the fire, they discovered that the fire prevention measures outside the food and fodder had been destroyed. They also discovered that someone had raided their military camp, so they immediately raised their alert.
Shen Mingjue was splashed with water and half of him was wet, but fortunately he was wearing a nightgown so he was not noticeable.
"Major General, what should we do? Those two men haven't come back yet."
Shen Mingjue had felt something was wrong from the beginning. He felt like a maggot in a box, unable to get out no matter how hard he tried to wail. It seemed that Knasu had known his whereabouts for a long time and had been playing tricks on him ever since.
"I will go and see it myself. You all hide first. No matter what the result is, go back to report to General Shen at three o'clock in the morning!" Shen Mingjue finally made up his mind. The two men had not returned yet, which meant that either the location where the prisoners were held had changed, or Gu Changfeng was in the palace of Knasu at this moment.
"Major General! The general sent us to protect you, not to let you risk your life alone! If you drive us away now, what if the enemy finds you? Who can protect you?"
"I must rescue the prince. What if he is in trouble and the emperor comes here in anger to bury all of us with him? Do you still want to live?" Shen Mingjue said this deliberately. Only in this way would his personal soldiers be willing to let him act alone.
"This...but we are still worried..."
Shen Mingjue squeezed the water out of his clothes and said, "There is no time left. It has been almost an hour since the Scythians kidnapped the prince. It is unknown whether he is alive or dead..."
In the end, the guards let him go alone.
Shen Mingjue stood on the high wall and found that even after several months, the location and layout had not changed much. The place where the prisoners were held was the same, not far from the place where food and grass were found.
He still wanted to go there and take a look, although he had already made up his mind that Knasu would not place such an important person there.
The square prison was very deserted. Shen Mingjue did not dare to be too ostentatious and did not even turn on the lights. But even so, the situation inside could be seen at a glance. The reason was that this building also had a "pointed hat", and the moonlight from the skylight shone in, illuminating the inside.
The further he went in, the more he could smell a faint smell of blood. Shen Mingjue began to feel uneasy. On the one hand, he hoped that Gu Changfeng was in there, but on the other hand, he hoped that the person there was not Gu Changfeng, as he did not want this person to get hurt.
Suddenly Shen Mingjue heard the voices of several Scythians talking.
There are actually prisoners in the prison.
