Chapter 1044 This is different from what I thought

Listening to the footsteps disappearing, Princess Mingzhu opened her eyes slightly, made sure that no one was nearby, and then turned her head to look at her location.

It was like a junk warehouse, filled with damaged tables, chairs, benches and other things. However, the door was closed tightly and the situation outside could not be seen. Princess Mingzhu could not accurately determine her specific location.

She was already awake in the carriage just now, but she didn't show it. After noticing that the carriage stopped, Princess Mingzhu quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be in a coma, so as not to irritate the kidnapper.

She could feel as if she was being carried away, and not long after she left, she was stuffed into the debris warehouse. Listening carefully, she could also hear the noisy sounds of people in the nearby market, which must not be far away.

She tried to break free, but it still didn't work. Her hands and feet were tied behind her back. Princess Mingzhu could only squirm on the ground like a caterpillar. If she tried to escape with this little mobility, she would be suicidal.

In order not to irritate the kidnappers, Princess Mingzhu gave up the unwise choice of continuing to struggle, which would injure herself.

At this time, the benefits of martial arts came to light. Princess Mingzhu somewhat regretted that she was too lazy to practice martial arts properly, otherwise she would have been somewhat capable of protecting herself.

However, the princess knew that the maid who took care of her would come to her room regularly to refill lamp oil and so on, and she must have noticed that she was missing now.

Princess Mingzhu was very confident in the abilities of Ouchi's guards. The problem was that when the princess was transferred, she was unconscious for a while and did not leave enough clues to guide the direction. She didn't know when she would be able to find her.

This was one of the reasons why the princess did not try to resist or escape. Instead of taking dangerous actions, it was better to wait for the Ouchi guards to come to rescue her.

Just after taking a look at the surrounding situation, Princess Mingzhu immediately heard footsteps approaching. She quickly closed her eyes again and pretended to be unconscious while leaning on a broken table lying horizontally.

"You, you! What can I say to you!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong? I asked you to collect a debt, and you just stabbed someone to death and brought someone back for me?"

"No, brother, those two are poor people. You haven't seen their homes. Even if I break their legs, I can't get out a ounce of oil."

"Then you ask someone to pay off the debt? This will get us into trouble!"

"What kind of trouble can it be bigger than the county magistrate? It's just a matter of words for us brothers to come to your door."

The sounds outside the door were getting closer, and then Princess Mingzhu heard the door being pushed open.

"Brother, look, this little girl doesn't dress like an ordinary person. It's probably because those two poor guys couldn't bear the debt and kidnapped a girl from a wealthy family nearby. Let's find out who it is. Coming to your door and asking for a favor is better than debt collection. Earn too much.”

"It's true that she doesn't look like an ordinary country woman, but why does her dress look a bit like a lady from an official family?"

"Both of us know the housekeeper near Wangyun Mountain. Brother, are you overthinking it?"

"No, look at the pattern on this girl's collar. It's not something everyone can use. She might be a young lady from a high official's family."

"ah?"

"Ah what? You've caused trouble again, you know! If you really can't afford to offend someone, we can't explain why we go up to ask for benefits."

"In that case, why don't we just do one thing and two things?"

"Fart! Use your brain, what are you going to do with the body in the city? Make it into meat buns?"

"Then big brother, what do you think we should do?"

Princess Mingzhu was sweating after hearing this. This seemed different from the kidnapper she had imagined.

Princess Mingzhu is so calm because she feels that her kidnapper must have a political purpose. Before the purpose is achieved, as long as she does not resist, she will not suffer.

But now it sounds like her being kidnapped was an accident, which is very bad.

"Are you panicking now? Just calm down for me."

Princess Mingzhu heard someone sigh, and then the voice said:

"I'll ask a few people to go out and investigate later. If it's really the daughter of a high-ranking official, I'm afraid there will be some news."

"What are you doing asking for information?"

"Of course we have to see who we have offended! If the background is too big... we brothers must take it out."

"Brother, what do you think we should do?"

"It's broad daylight and it's hard to deal with the crowds of people outside. When night falls, I'll find someone to discuss it and move it to a brothel in the distance. By then, we brothers won't be able to get close to each other no matter what."

Another person chuckled:

"Brother, you are much more ruthless than me. You can still make a fortune by selling it. This little lady has tender skin and tender flesh, so she should be worth a lot of money. How about we brothers..."

"This is all the trouble caused by you, kid. Watch your belt. It's not easy to sell a broken woman!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to big brother."

"Well, go ahead and cover her eyes first. The medicine will wear off later. Don't let her see our brothers' faces."

Soon, Princess Mingzhu felt a piece of cloth covering her face, and it was tied tightly.

But she didn't dare to move, not even to tremble. If these two people found out that she was awake, they might be killed on the spot.

Through the cloth covering her eyes, she could vaguely see someone standing in front of her. It didn't matter if she was blindfolded, but he seemed to want to take advantage of the opportunity to indulge in hand addiction.

The princess wanted to jump up and give him a kick, but now she was tied tightly and couldn't move at all.

At this critical moment, a voice came from outside the door:

"The eldest young master! The second young master!"

"If you have covered your eyes, leave quickly. Don't let others see you."

After saying this, Princess Mingzhu saw the figure in front of her stand up and take a few steps back. Then she heard the sound of the door being closed.

Princess Mingzhu, who was almost taken advantage of, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was just a sigh of relief.

After all, judging from the intentions of these two people, they would sell her off at night. If the imperial guards hadn't come before then, the princess's fate would probably not be beautiful.

This matter was outrageous in the first place, and the current situation was completely out of Princess Mingzhu's expectations. She couldn't just wait.

When she heard the door close and the footsteps fade away, Princess Mingzhu immediately rubbed her head against the table behind her, rubbing the cloth covering her eyes bit by bit.

After regaining her vision, Princess Mingzhu used her bound feet to prop up her body and tried to turn her bound hands around to the front.

Because the binding was too tight, this action was very difficult. She could feel the skin on her wrist being rubbed and a clear stinging pain came.

Fortunately, the princess was young and her body was flexible. After a little effort, she succeeded.

Her hands and feet were tied up with leather, not hemp rope. This kind of thing is usually used by hunters to tie up wild boars and tigers. It is very strong.

Princess Mingzhu took a breath, ignoring the burning pain in her wrist. She looked at the knot carefully, opened her mouth and bit one end and pulled hard.

As long as she could untie her hands, it would be much easier to untie her feet. Princess Mingzhu could also vaguely hear the noisy voices in the market, and estimated that she was not far from the downtown area.

She had to escape before the two men came back. As long as she got to the main road, things would be easy.
