Cheng Yuanyuan had made a ruckus in Zhang Zhaozhong's courtyard, but she couldn't even find the shadow of the key to the prison cell. He didn't put it in the room, nor did he take it with him. Where had he hidden it?

After thinking about it, with his martial arts, there was no need for him to worry about someone stealing the key. It was unreasonable and troublesome to hide it too well. Moreover, ever since Zhang Zhaozhong brought the prisoner to the General's Mansion, he seemed to have never seen Chen Jialuo. He only served him good food and drinks. It seemed that he was only used as bait.

She suddenly slapped her forehead. She had been tricked by Li Yuanzhi. It did not matter if the key was stolen or not. It was not a cheap trick and she might be found out.

She had the skill [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac]. Not only could she steal things, but she could also unlock locks. When the time came, she would let Chen Jialuo see her skills.

After thinking it through, she felt relieved. Then she thought of Huo Qingtong. She asked Li Yuanzhi to pass a message. She asked Huo Qingtong to find the people from the Safflower Society and rescue Chen Jialuo together tomorrow night. This way, not only could the two of them be connected, but when the time came, Chen Jialuo would hand the Koran to Huo Qingtong. Then it would be a matter of time!

Cheng Yuanyuan felt that her plan was perfect. The most important thing now was to get the Koran.

Since the Koran was in the General's Mansion, it must be with the Siu Hui. Compared to stealing the key from Zhang Zhaozhong, it was much easier to take Amar's things.

She went to the study with her hands behind her back. Before she entered, she heard the quarrel inside.

"Amar, reclaiming Huizhou should be fair and square. The Six Devils of Guandong sneaked into Huizhou to steal the Koran without Amar's permission. If news of this gets out, Amar's reputation will be ruined!" It was Zalantai's voice.

Cheng Yuanyuan poked her head inside, and heard Siu Hui's deep voice again, "Since it's like this, we'll present the Koran to the Emperor. If our troops are sincerely attached to the Great Qing, we won't create any trouble."

Zalantai said, "They lost the Holy Book, so they will naturally blame it on us. Amar is in a high position, so how can he be implicated by those people? In my opinion, it's better to return the Koran, lest we start a war."

Siu Hui: "What do you know!

His Majesty ordered me to be in charge of the Northwest Army in order to make the Hui Army completely surrender, and to make the south of Tianshan part of the Great Qing territory.

I'm just afraid that they won't easily start a war. "

Even if this was to reclaim Huizhou, Zalantai didn't agree with Amar's indulgence of the Six Devils of Guandong. "Amar should protect the safety of the Northwest, but …"

"Enough, no need to say anymore. I've made up my mind!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yuanyuan retracted her head and found a hidden corner to wait quietly. She thought to herself, 'Sure enough, a general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand people. This military merit and badge are all stained with blood. But once I take the Koran, I'm afraid this war won't start.'

Zalantai didn't take long to leave, but after waiting for a long time, the sun was about to set. Cheng Yuanyuan's legs were numb from squatting, but Siu Hui still hadn't come out of the study.

Wasn't he hungry? Should she find a servant to call him to eat?

Just as she was thinking, she heard a creak. Siu Hui walked out of the study and walked along the corridor to the front yard.

In the large study, there was the smell of burned red sandalwood incense. Cheng Yuanyuan walked around the room and came to the Eight Treasures Pavilion, which was full of antiques. She remembered clearly that Siu Hui had touched the mechanism above … She tried to turn the green jade incense burner in the middle, and then heard the mechanism turn, revealing the hidden compartment behind.

No wonder it was said that it was difficult to guard against a thief in the family.

This thief even knew the hidden compartment, so how could he not steal it? It didn't take any skill!

Cheng Yuanyuan opened the brocade box and took out a book with yellowed pages that he could not even understand. Because the book was too thick, he could not stuff it into his sleeves or inside his clothes. Fortunately, he tucked it under his armpit and left the study without anybody knowing.

Then, she went to the stable in the backyard.

With such a troublesome thing beside her, Cheng Yuanyuan felt uneasy. Her room was only so big, and someone usually cleaned it. If it was found, it would completely overturn her harmless image in the eyes of her family.

So, she found a good place for the holy book — in the saddle of Zalantai's horse, Lie Feng.

No one was allowed to touch Zalantai's horse except for himself. Also, she knew that Lie Feng had just been brushed by Zalantai yesterday. At least, he wouldn't give it a bath for the next few days.

Moreover, Zalantai was very busy recently and didn't seem to have time to walk the horse. It should be safe to put the book here.

Tomorrow night, she would save Chen Jialuo and run away from here. She could take it with her.

After hiding the book, Cheng Yuanyuan patted the horse's back comfortably. Lie Feng snorted unhappily and suddenly said from behind, "Jianing, why are you here?"

Cheng Yuanyuan's body stiffened. She smiled guiltily at Zalantai, "Brother, where did you go?

I was looking for you and thought you were with Lie Feng. "

Zalantai sighed unhappily, "It's Amar's fault. He didn't listen to me. I'm so angry."

"What's the big deal? Tell me …" She asked as she pulled him out of the backyard.

… …

The next day, at night, the entire General's Residence was silent.

Cheng Yuanyuan sent two servant girls away early. Then, she wrote a handwritten letter and put it on the bedside. She changed into servant's clothes and slipped out of the room.

She walked around people all the way and arrived near the garden rockery. The dungeon here was hidden and there were only two guards. It didn't look like a place to hide criminals. Even if people from the Safflower Society broke in, they might not be able to find it.

She didn't reveal the exact location of the dungeon to Li Yuanzhi. She also didn't mention that there were Imperial Palace experts guarding the eaves of the General's Residence day and night. Anyway, she wanted to create chaos, and the more chaos, the better. This way, she could leave the General's Residence with Chen Jialuo without being discovered.

She hid behind another rockery and looked up at the sky. The moon was already high in the sky. Would they be here soon?

In the silence, she listened to the crickets chirping in the grass. She waited and waited. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard the sounds of fighting in the front yard. It sounded quite intense.

The guards in the garden couldn't help but stretch their necks to look. Cheng Yuanyuan quickly flashed behind them and used a wooden stick that she had prepared beforehand to hit each person in the head.

"Chen Gongzi, I'm here to save you." She said briskly and blew on the match in her hand.

Chen Jialuo had been trapped in this dark place for many days. Seeing her come as promised, his heart was filled with gratitude and joy. "Miss Cheng, thank you.

Are you alone?

Isn't this too risky? "

Cheng Yuanyuan asked him to hold the match. Under his surprised gaze, she nimbly took out the iron wire of the bed curtains and pried open the lock. Then, she opened the shackles and proudly said, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything. The people from the Safflower Society are outside attracting the enemy. As long as we escape from the back door and release the signal, they will immediately retreat. There won't be any danger."

Chen Jialuo heard her say this and felt relieved. "I didn't expect Miss Cheng to be so brave and resourceful."

"Let's go quickly. I'll hear you praise me after we escape." As she said this, she took his hand and carefully walked up the stone steps.

Chen Jialuo stared blankly at their intertwined hands as he was led out of the dungeon.

As soon as they came up, the cool night wind blew, carrying with it the sound of fighting from afar. It was as if they were already close at hand.

Chen Jialuo was energized. He wanted to find the people from the Safflower Society, but Cheng Yuanyuan held his arm tightly.

"They're about to retreat. You'll ruin things if you go!

Let's go! "Now was not the time to sacrifice oneself to save others. The people from the Safflower Society could only pray for their own good.

She urged him and dragged him to the backyard. She threw the match in her hand and lit up the leaves and hay piled in the corner. The fire gradually burned, and thick smoke rose.

Cheng Yuanyuan led Chen Jialuo to the shadows of the cloister. They groped their way to the stable in the backyard, and then went into Lie Feng's stable. When they were about to take out the things in the saddle and prepare for the successful completion of the plan, they suddenly heard a loud shout, "Who's there?!"

Under the night sky, Chen Jialuo recognized one of the people who wanted to catch Cheng Yuanyuan. So, they were the Six Devils of Guandong!

He suddenly flew up and kicked a few poles. The stable collapsed, and the horse neighed in fright. It struggled to break the reins and gallop outside.

Lie Feng was frightened and kept kicking back and forth. Cheng Yuanyuan was thrown out by it, and Chen Jialuo flew in and caught her. They jumped onto the roof and escaped from the General's Mansion.

Chen Jialuo used his Lightness Skill to move quickly, and did not notice the resentful eyes beside him.

Cheng Yuanyuan kept turning her head and stared at the direction where she came from. She was so close to the Koran Sutra. She missed it so much … She really wanted to scream to the sky. How should she explain this to Huo Qingtong?!

Cheng Yuanyuan wanted to bite someone to death. Chen Jialuo, do you know that you ruined your own good marriage?!

No matter how much her heart was bleeding, she was getting farther and farther away from the General's Mansion until she could no longer see it.
