The girl started to cry: "You can't say... I ran away secretly. If my father knew that I was captured by bad guys and lost his face, he would definitely be angry with me..."
Even if I want to get angry, I will find you first.
Ming Na cursed a few times, and then asked in a low voice: "Did you sneak out? Then your family will find you soon, right?"
Unexpectedly, the girl cried louder: "I don't know..."
Ming Na was a little confused, and finally coaxed her to hold back her tears, and then asked cautiously: "You haven't answered me just now, which country are you a princess from? I don't think you are from Weisha, you are from Shao The princess of Nan or... East?" There was a hint of urgency in her voice, but she didn't notice it herself.
The girl raised her eyes: "Why do you keep asking me this? I...I can't say! This is something that insults the reputation of my royal family!"
You know it is an insult to the reputation of the royal family, so why did you run away? !
Ming Na gritted her teeth secretly, but kept her face as calm as possible: "I just want to know. I haven't met the princess yet. Do you live in a big and beautiful house, wear beautiful clothes, and have sex every day?" Eat?" She asked curiously in the tone of a little country girl.
The "princess" glanced at her: "Yes, you are right."
"Then why did you sneak out? By the way, where were you caught?"
"Princess" raised her eyebrows and looked at Ming Na: "Why do you ask this? What does this have to do with you?"
Ming Na's heart skipped a beat, knowing that she was suspicious of herself. She smiled quickly and said, "I just want to know if your family will come to rescue you. I was also abducted. If your family comes to rescue you, can they?" Can't you take me with you? In fact, I...I am from East, but I have lived in Shaonan for a long time, no matter where you go. It will be no problem."
The "Princess" just looked at her a few times after hearing this. Nothing was said. Ming Na was a little annoyed. She seemed to have asked too tightly just now, which aroused the other party's vigilance. But then again, he wasn't trying to harm her, so why was she looking at him like that
"Then you can tell me your name, right? My name is Ming Na." She was a little annoyed.
"Princess" thought for a while and then said: "Just call me Sarah." Then she moved away and ate the cake and drank the water in small sips. Ignore Minna no more.
Ming Na turned her head angrily and didn't want to pay attention to her.
The girls were locked in the stone house for a day and were tired from crying and making trouble. Then the slave traders sent someone to bring broth and fragrant white bread, saying: "As long as you are obedient and do as I say, From now on, you will be able to eat like this every day and have beautiful clothes to wear. But if you don’t obey me... you won’t even be able to eat like last night! You will also be beaten every day! How about it? Are you willing to obey me?”
Some girls were moved, but some refused. Sarah snorted in the corner: "Who will believe you? Your people obviously said they would eat us!"
As soon as she said this. The girls who were originally excited flinched a little. The slave trader came over angrily and kicked her: "If you want to eat people, I will eat you first!"
Sara glared and was about to curse. Ming Na secretly called "idiot" and pulled her hard. Seeing her struggle, she whispered in her ear: "Do you still want to be beaten?" She calmed down. , just kept staring at the slave trader. The latter cursed a few words and kicked him again. Then he turned back to persuade the other girls. When he left, two or three of them followed him.
As soon as he left, Sarah said angrily to Minna: "Why did you stop me? If it weren't for you, I could have stopped him from taking those girls away."
Ming Na retorted: "If I don't stop you, that person will definitely beat you. You will be the one who suffers then, and those girls will also be taken away. And you just saw it. They did it voluntarily!"
A girl from a poor family in Weishad makes a living outside her home. Usually working as either a maid or a showgirl and dancer, this kind of thing is not new at all. Moreover, those girls just now, judging from their age and appearance, are not ready to start work right away. They must learn something first. As long as someone comes to rescue Sarah in the past few days, they will hopefully leave.
Minna glanced at Sarah a few times and concluded that this "princess" might not be able to think of this, so she took her to the corner and explained in detail in a low voice. The other party was dubious: "Really? What will they do if no one comes to save me?"
Ming Na stared at her and said nothing. She smiled coquettishly: "Then... next time those bad guys come again, we can also pretend to be obedient?"
Ming Na blinked: "With a temporary compromise, we won't be locked up in a stone house, and it will be much easier to escape."
"So...should we tell the others to do the same?"
Ming Na was startled and grabbed Sarah fiercely: "How do you know they won't tell those bad guys?! Just help them when someone comes to rescue you. Don't let it out now!" This guy is really a princess! ? Why do you seem so smart sometimes, but so stupid sometimes? ! Even if those girls can't leave, it's their own choice! Can she still save all the poor girls in Weisha home? Even if she is the princess of Weisha, she can't do it!
Two days later, Minna and Sarah had already left the stone room and lived in a tent with more than a dozen other girls. They pretended to obey the slave traders and gained a certain degree of freedom. They learned to pour wine and serve food every day. They were even taught how to put on makeup, dress and give massages.
Sarah claimed that a princess must not stoop to serve evil criminals, so the slave traders slapped her several times. They were afraid of hurting her beautiful face and skin, so they simply sent her to work for the cook, hoping to dampen her spirit. Minna followed Sarah closely and ended up being punished together.
The job of washing dishes was not too hard for Minna. She did the work for both of them, so that Sarah would not break things clumsily and get beaten. But she was a little anxious, and the rescuers didn't come for a long time. Isn't Sarah a princess
Ming Na looked up at Sarah sitting in the corner and saw her looking down at the things in her arms from time to time. As soon as she realized that she was looking, she immediately put them away. Ming Na was a little curious about what it was, but the other party said that she had seen it wrong.
Ming Na was very unhappy. She was already very good to Sarah. Why is the other party still on guard against her? After thinking about it, why don’t you wait any longer? These days in the oasis, she had already observed the escape route and found out the ways to obtain water. She just thought that if she could go with Sarah, she would save a lot of effort. But as time passed, people in the oasis spread rumors that a big shot was coming, and ordered the new girls to receive him. It's time for her to leave.
Secretly carrying a small bag of bread hidden away, Ming Na nestled in the tent, planning to take a nap first and wait until she woke up in the middle of the night to escape. Drowsily, she heard a sound beside her. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Sarah who had climbed up, tiptoed to avoid the other sleeping girls in the tent, and wanted to go out. Ming Na turned over and wanted to ask where she was going, but accidentally noticed a flash of blue light on her chest. I blinked and looked again and couldn't find it anymore.
what is that
Minna grabbed Sarah, leaned close to her ear and asked in a barely audible voice. The other party blushed and refused to say anything. Ming Na was suspicious, and with the dim firelight coming from outside the tent, she discovered that there was a thin line on Sarah's neck. She didn't notice it normally, but it was only revealed after it was slightly reflected in the dark. With a thought in her mind, she drew the line. I saw a small round copper pendant hanging from the bottom. It was black and not good-looking at all. If Sarah was really a princess, why would she wear such jewelry
Sarah nervously took back the pendant and glared at Ming Na, who frowned. She seemed to have felt a little magic wave from the pendant just now. Could it be that…
She suddenly remembered a semi-finished locator she had seen at the alchemist Hanlin's place. It is said that it was Grandpa's idea to set up a place within a five-kilometer radius. It can determine the specific location of a person. That thing is also a round bronze medal, but it is a little larger than this pendant. Ming Na snatched the pendant again, touched the back, and found Hanlin's mark. She was pleasantly surprised: "Is this a locator?"
Sarah's eyes widened: "How do you know?"
"I know Master Hanlin." Ming Na smiled, "Did that blue light just now mean that the person who saved you is coming?"
Sarah bit her lip, hesitated, and nodded: "The red light means they are five kilometers away from me, the blue light means there are still three kilometers away, and if it is green light, it means they are only five hundred meters away from me. During the day, I They saw the red light and they were already nearby."
It's really convenient, but...
Mingna stared at Sarah: "Did you just want to sneak out? What about us? You don't care about us?"
Sarah blushed again and said with shame: "I'm sorry... I was afraid that if I woke up others, the bad guys would be alerted, so I thought I would call someone to save everyone after I left."
Ming Na gritted her teeth secretly, who said this princess was stupid? She is still very smart when she should be smart, but it is impossible to get rid of herself like this!
"Will you really send someone after you go out? What if the person who comes to rescue you refuses?" Mingna felt something was wrong. If those people were nearby during the day, why haven't they come yet? Why would Sarah risk stealing it? Are there not many people coming? But as the princess's escort, there can't be only a few people, right
Sarah murmured: "No..." She blushed suspiciously. Ming Na became even more suspicious: "No matter what, if you want to leave, you should at least tell me."
Sarah bit her lip: "I'm sorry...I was afraid that someone else would find out and alert the guards..."
This is a problem. Ming Na thought for a while and quietly walked to the door to look at the situation outside. Although they seemed to be moving freely in the oasis, in fact there were several big men guarding every exit. As soon as they stepped out of a certain boundary, someone would sound a warning. Minna had imagined many times that she could still hope to escape from the guards by herself, but if she took Sara with her, the risk of being discovered would be greatly increased, let alone bringing other people with her.
Unless, there are other things that hinder the slave traders and prevent them from taking care of these girls...
Ming Na rolled her eyes and had an idea. At this moment, Sarah suddenly called out from behind her: "It's the green light! They are coming!" Several girls suddenly woke up, rubbed their eyes and asked: "Who is there? Talk?" Sarah shrank her neck. He glanced at Ming Na apologetically.
Ming Na rolled her eyes, raised her hand and fired an ice arrow at a torch outside the opposite tent door. The torch fell to the ground and quickly burned the tent next to it, and the fire gradually grew. Minna knocked down the other two torches in the same way. Several nearby tents were on fire.
The watchman soon discovered the danger. He immediately shouted "It's on fire, put out the fire quickly". In a blink of an eye, people were running for their lives, shoveling sand to put out the fire, and rescuing property, and the whole oasis was in chaos.
Minna quickly returned to the bed and dug out dry food. Pulled the water bag from the corner of the room. At this time, the girls in the tent were frightened by the fire outside and fled out one after another. You squeezed me and I squeezed yours. They actually squeezed the narrow exit and the torch outside the door fell aside. There was a fire at the door, and the girls who were stranded in the tent and had no time to escape burst into tears.
Sarah stood there stunned and helpless. Ming Na pulled her over and walked to the other side of the tent. An ice blade two or three inches long formed in his hand, and he cut a hole in the tent cloth with three knives, then dragged her out. The other girls discovered that there was an exit here and rushed out one after another. The oasis was in chaos, and the slave traders were in a hurry to put out the fire. They didn't notice the girls running out for a while. Mingna took the opportunity to pull Sara and sneak towards the edge of the oasis. When she saw that there was no one in the area where there were guards, she felt happy and ran out.
Sarah grabbed her suddenly: "You can't leave! They won't find me!" Mingna said angrily: "You have that locator, how could they not find you? Do you think it will cost a lot to put out that small fire? Time? Wait until those bad guys put out the fire. Count the number of people and find that we are missing. They will send people to chase us! If we don’t run away now, it will be too late later! "
After that, he didn’t care what Sarah had to say, he dragged her and ran away. Sarah didn't stop her this time, but her foot strength and physical strength were far inferior to Minna's, and she couldn't walk before she ran very far.
Ming Na looked at Sarah who was complaining about being tired, and wished she could just leave her behind. Suddenly. The faint sound of horse hooves could be heard in the night wind. She said anxiously: "No, they are catching up!" Sarah was startled. Seeing the horse shadow indeed appear in the darkness, he quickly got up and ran with Ming Na, but he only had time to run twenty or thirty meters before he was surrounded by people.
"Your Highness Princess! It's us!" the leading man shouted. Sarah's feet stopped, with surprise on her face: "Perdica!" She rushed over.
It turns out that these four or five people are the exclusive guards of Sarah's father. Perdica is also the captain of the guard and came specially to save Sarah. Ming Na looked at their happy gathering and asked carefully: "Which country are you from the Royal Guards of? Can you... take me with you?"
There was silence. Minna was anxious. When she saw Perdica holding Sarah on the horse, she hurriedly said to the latter: "Please, just think of it because I have helped you." Sarah looked at Perdy Ka: "She did help me a lot. It was she who set the fire just now so we could escape."
Perdica thought for a while and then made a decision: "Okay, Phil, you take her." A guard responded and reached out to pull Mingna. Mingna happily grabbed his hand and turned over. horse. Perdica noticed that she moved quite quickly and raised her eyebrows.
Sarah suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there are still many girls in the oasis. Let's rescue them together."
"Someone has already gone." Perdica said lightly, warned Minna not to talk too much with his eyes, and ordered his subordinates to set off. Ming Na bit her lip and said nothing.
The group of people took advantage of the night to rush through the desert. They arrived at Anchor City at dawn and rested in an inn. Ming Na finally breathed a sigh of relief and slept peacefully. When she woke up, she smelled the aroma of food on the table. She immediately moved her index finger and got up to start chewing.
There was a sound of horses neighing outside the window. Minna opened the window and looked out. She saw Perdica telling her men to get ready to set off. She hurriedly dropped the food in her hands and ran out: "Mr. Perdica, are you going to set off? Don't leave it behind." Me." Perdica glanced at her for a few times, smiled and said: "Your Majesty sent someone to pick up His Highness, you can ride a horse with me." Minna nodded happily.
After breakfast, they set off. Sarah ran in the front in the carriage, while Perdica rode the horse, but gradually fell behind. After a while, the other people's figures disappeared from Minna's sight. She looked back at Perdica in confusion: "Mr. Perdica, should we run faster? If we continue like this, we will lose track."
"You won't get lost." Perdicca said lightly, but stopped his horse.
Ming Na suddenly had an ominous premonition: "Why... why did you stop?" After saying this, her body lightened up and she was already hugged to the ground. She said with a trembling voice: "Mr. Perdica, you promised to take me with you."
"Sorry, kid, we can't take you away." Perdica took out a bulging money bag from her arms and stuffed it into Minna's hand, "Take it, you can hire a boat or a car, you can Go wherever you like, and if you have difficulties, ask the people here for help." He pointed at the house on the roadside, and Mingna noticed that it was a small Earthly Light Temple.
She put away her pitiful expression and stared at the other party: "Sarah will be angry. She clearly said she wanted to take me with her! Aren't you her bodyguard? Why did you go against her wishes?!"
Perdica smiled: "I know you kid is not that simple. I have a solution for His Highness. I will not pursue the reason why you deliberately approached His Highness. Take care of yourself." After saying that, he got on his horse and hurriedly Gallop away.
Minna chased him and shouted: "You despicable guy! You don't keep your words! You will be punished!" She picked up a stone and threw it, but it failed.
Perdicca galloped on his horse and soon reached the outside of the city and caught up with the large army. Everyone seemed to know what he was going to do and stayed specially to wait for him. Sarah opened the carriage door dully and asked, "Where's Minna? Where did you leave her?"
"Your Highness!" Perdica suddenly looked solemn and said seriously, "Your Majesty's trip is a secret and must not be leaked. Your Highness's willful departure has already disrupted His Majesty's plan. If you bring back another person who doesn't know the details, , once the news leaks out, do you know what the consequences will be?! As the first princess of East, you should know your identity and responsibilities!"
Sarah's face turned red, and she lowered her head with tears in her eyes: "I know I made a mistake, and I will never dare to do it again in the future."
Perdica slowed down her tone after hearing this: "I hope you can keep your word. As for the child, I have arranged a place for her, so you don't have to worry. But after you go back, please don't mention this to anyone." Things, so as not to be noticed.”
Sarah nodded through tears. At this time, a guard spotted the people galloping in the distance and hurriedly reported: "Captain, someone is coming, it should be someone from the Security Department."
Upon hearing this, Perdica asked Sarah to close the carriage door and went up to her: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is out of danger, thanks to the people in your department this time."
"You're welcome, this is our duty." The middle-aged man with a mustache said with a smile, "I will introduce to you, Captain, that these two are my colleagues, Vasily from the Weisha Intelligence Department, and the maintenance staff from the General Administration. Ronika, Veronica will be responsible for taking care of Her Highness the Princess along the way."
