The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 37 Help from noble people

The carriage was running wildly and shaking violently. Yunxi sat in the carriage, her heart beating like a drum, "boom boom".

She secretly glanced at the strange man beside her. The man was wearing a dark blue brocade robe. The material of the robe looked unusual, and the white jade belt tied around his waist was even more eye-catching.

Look at his face again, he is handsome and his eyes are as deep as a well, but there is a kind of gentleness that makes people feel at ease.

Yunxi pursed her lips and spoke first: "Thank you for your help, sir. May I know your name?"

The man smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel comfortable: "My surname is Su, and my name is Yu."

Yunxi nodded slightly, her eyes full of sincerity, and said, "Master Su, I will always remember your kindness."

Su Yu waved his hand, his movements were very smooth, and said, "Miss Yun, you don't have to be polite. I was also asked to do this."

Yunxi frowned, her face full of doubts, and asked anxiously, "Who entrusted Master Su with this task?"

Su Yu chuckled, but didn't say it directly. He kept it a secret and said, "The time is not right yet. Miss Yun will know it later."

Seeing this, Yunxi didn't dare to ask any further questions.

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion. Su Yu jumped out swiftly, turned around and stretched out his hand. He first helped Yunxi get out of the car carefully, and then helped Lord Zhang and Xiao Li get out.

"Miss Yun, this place is safe for the time being. You should go in and rest first." Su Yu said with a gentle smile on his face. He looked at Yun Xi with a reassuring look in his eyes.

Entering the mansion, one sees pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly fashion, and a garden filled with vibrant flowers. Yunxi and the others were accommodated in a spacious wing room.

This room was decorated very elegantly, with carved tables and chairs neatly arranged, and the bedding on the bed looked brand new and clean.

"Miss Yun, you can stay here for now. If you need anything, just let me know." After Su Yu finished speaking, he folded his hands over his chest, stood at the door, and glanced at everyone in the room.

Yunxi said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Su."

Su Yu smiled and nodded, then turned and strode away, the corners of his clothes fluttering gently with his movements.

After Su Yu left, Yunxi sat down with Mr. Zhang and Xiao Li to discuss countermeasures.

"Who is this Mr. Su?" Xiao Li frowned and said while touching his chin.

His eyebrows were twisted like twisted knots, and his face was full of confusion.

Yunxi shook her head, frowning slightly, and sighed, "I don't know either, but since he's helping us, he probably won't harm us."

Lord Zhang sat on a chair, leaning forward, his hands on his knees, and said, "Anyway, let's hide here for the time being and find a way to contact the prince."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if he was thinking about something important.

At this moment, a maid came in, holding tea and snacks in her hands. The maid was pretty, with a sweet smile on her face and brisk steps.

"Miss Yun, this is prepared for you." The maid said, placing the snacks on the table and arranging the plates neatly.

Yunxi said, "Thank you, young lady."

The maid nodded, bowed slightly, turned and left.

Yunxi looked at the plate full of cakes, but she had no desire to eat any of them. However, she felt that she couldn't let the other person down, so she picked up a cake and took a bite, but it tasted bland.

A few days later, Su Yu came to the wing room again. He rushed in with a few beads of sweat on his forehead. "Miss Yun, I have good news."

Yunxi had been sitting in a chair in a daze, but when she heard Su Yu's voice, she perked up immediately. She hurriedly stood up and went to greet him, eagerly asking, "What good news?"

Su Yu took a few deep breaths, then said, "I've already found out where the prince is."

Yunxi stood up excitedly, holding Su Yu's arm tightly with both hands, her eyes wide open: "Where is the prince?"

Su Yu was gripped by her and it hurt. He grinned and said, "The prince is imprisoned in the sky prison."

Yunxi's expression changed, her brows knitted into a knot, and her voice trembled: "Then how can we save the prince?"

Su Yu patted Yunxi's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm already thinking of a solution."

A few days later, Su Yu came running in hurriedly, his footsteps making a "thump thump thump" sound as if they were going to trample through the floor.

Before he even entered the room, his loud voice rang out: "Miss Yun, I have found a way to save the prince."

Yunxi was pacing anxiously in the room. Upon hearing this, she rushed to the door and asked anxiously, "What's the solution?"

Su Yu didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his face. He gasped and said, "I bribed the guards of the prison and can rescue the prince at night."

When Yunxi heard this, his eyes lit up and he clasped his hands together: "Great, then when do we take action?"

Su Yu looked at the sky outside the window and said in a low voice, "Tonight at midnight."

Yunxi nodded vigorously, turned to Zhang Daren and Xiao Li in the room and said, "Get ready, let's go rescue the prince tonight."

Master Zhang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Miss, my old bones can also be put to use."

Xiao Li also clenched his fists: "Miss, I will definitely follow you closely."

Time passed minute by minute, and finally it was night. Yunxi and the others changed into dark clothes and followed Su Yu quietly to the outside of the prison.

Su Yu made a gesture to keep quiet, then tiptoed to the door and greeted the guard he had bribed in advance.

The guard looked around before opening the door and letting them in.

As soon as he entered the prison, Yunxi started coughing because of the pungent smell.

Su Yu quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Be careful, don't make any noise."

Yunxi covered her mouth and nose, nodded, and continued walking forward with Su Yu.

The prison was dark and damp, with a foul smell. Yunxi endured the discomfort and followed Su Yu forward.

Finally, they found the cell where the prince was.

The prince sat in the corner of the cell, his hair was a little messy and his face was a little pale, but his eyes were still bright and revealed a firm light.

"Your Highness!" When Yunxi saw the prince, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, her voice full of anxiety and heartache. She rushed to the front of the cell in two steps and reached out to grab the railing tightly.

When the prince saw them, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He quickly stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "Why are you here?"

Su Yu looked anxious, his brows knitted into a knot, and he gasped and said, "Don't ask so many questions first, just get out of here quickly."

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a series of footsteps.

"Oh no, someone is coming." Su Yu's face changed drastically, and the veins on his forehead popped out.

Everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throat and they dared not breathe.

I saw a group of officers and soldiers coming towards this side aggressively, and the sound of their footsteps made the dust in the cell fly up.

"Stop!" The leading soldier was a burly man with a face full of flesh. He stared and shouted at the top of his voice.

Su Yu stepped forward, protecting Yunxi behind him. He puffed out his chest, his eyes wide open, and said, "I'll see who dares to move!"

The officers and soldiers ignored him completely, and rushed forward waving their sticks and cursing, trying to arrest people.

At this critical moment, a loud shout suddenly came: "Stop it!"

The sound resounded like thunder in the cell. Everyone turned around and saw an old man walking towards them with steady steps.

The old man had gray hair and a long beard, but his eyes were particularly bright and majestic.

When the officers and soldiers saw the old man, they all saluted and said, "Greetings, sir."

The old man put his hands behind his back and said seriously, "Let them go."

The officers and soldiers looked hesitant, looking at each other.

The old man's face darkened, his eyebrows raised, and he raised his voice and said, "You guys don't listen to me?"

The leading officer hurriedly said, "Sir, this is against the rules."

The old man snorted: "What rules or no rules? I let you go just because I say so."

The officers and soldiers didn't dare to say anything more and had to make way.

Yunxi and others hurriedly left the prison.

After leaving the prison, Yunxi's face was filled with gratitude. He bowed deeply to the old man and said, "Thank you very much for saving me, sir."

The old man stroked his gray beard, smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome, Miss Yun." As he spoke, his eyes swept over the crowd, revealing concern.

The old man stood straight, his face showing the marks of time, but he was still energetic. The prince stepped forward and clasped his hands together, saying, "Sir, I will never forget this kindness."

The old man laughed heartily. "Your Highness, what are you talking about? I have a long-standing friendship with you and know you well. How could I bear to see you suffer?"

Along the way, the old man walked steadily, saying to everyone as he walked: "It's not peaceful outside these days, everyone please be careful."

Yunxi and Su Yu followed closely behind, looking nervous yet somewhat relieved.

Soon, everyone arrived at the old man's residence. The old man waved his hand and said, "You can rest here for a while. We can make plans after the storm has passed."

Yunxi quickly responded, "Sorry to bother you." Su Yu also nodded in agreement.

After entering the mansion, the old man called the servants to arrange accommodation for everyone and also asked them to prepare some food. Yunxi looked at the old man busying around and was deeply moved.

With the help of the old man, Yunxi, the prince and others finally escaped danger temporarily.
