The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 346 Zhao Dashan's Escape Plan

General Zhao frowned, lifted the curtain and entered the tent.

He saw the colorful bird flying around in the tent, and his personal guard was following the bird with a very rough birdcage, and it seemed that he wanted to catch it in the cage.

He rubbed his pounding temple and shouted, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to feed the birds?"

When the guard saw his general coming back, he quickly put the bird cage on the ground, bowed respectfully to General Zhao and said, "I want to catch this bird and put it in the cage for you to keep!"

General Zhao felt a headache when he saw his thoughtful look on his face. He growled, "Who said I want to raise a bird? Do you think I'm the same as you, a playboy? I'm busy. I don't have the time for that. Get out!"

Seeing that his general was angry, the guard dared not say anything and quickly crouched down and ran out of the tent.

"Come back and take this bird cage away!"

General Zhao glanced at the birdcage and roared again!

The guards hurried back, picked up the birdcage, and retreated in disgrace.

"Little guy, I'm sorry. It was my subordinate who was rude. Come, come and have some food. I'll write the letter right away and you can leave in a while!"

General Zhao took out a handful of grain from the cloth bag, put it on the table, waved and smiled at the bird.

He was completely different from the furious look he had just had.

The guard standing outside the tent listened to his general coaxing the little bird like a child, touched his nose, and muttered: "Uncle obviously likes this bird so much, why doesn't he keep it!"

When the little bird saw General Zhao starting to write a letter, it landed on the table and began to peck at the white rice grains.

General Zhao only wrote one sentence: It has been handled, proceed as planned.

He did not reveal any information in the letter, firstly because he was afraid that the letter would fall into the hands of others, and secondly because he was afraid that the letter might be written by someone else imitating Lao Cao's handwriting. At a critical moment, it is better to be cautious!

Therefore, he did not torture Zhao Dashan, and the muscle-softening powder that he had people feed Zhao Dashan was fake. The guards in the tent guarding Zhao Dashan were loose inside but strict outside, making Zhao Dashan feel that he had a chance to escape.

The rest depends on Zhao Dashan’s actions.

If he was really wronged, based on his past style, he would definitely wait for Lao Cao to come back and confront him face to face.

If he is really a spy, he will definitely seize every opportunity to escape, otherwise when Lao Cao comes back, his life will certainly be in danger!

General Zhao tore off the written note, rolled it into a small ball, took the bird, carefully tied the letter to its legs, then carried it out of the tent and wandered around the military camp.

When they reached the nearest place to the forest, General Zhao took the bird out of his arms and said to it, "Little fellow, thank you for your hard work. Deliver the letter to General Cao!"

The little bird nodded its head at him, then spread its wings, flew into the sky, and flew away into the distance.

General Zhao returned to his tent only when the bird was no longer visible.

"Zhao Dashan, take your medicine!"

Late at night, in an empty tent, a soldier walked towards Zhao Dashan who was lying on the ground, carrying a bowl of muscle softening powder.

He pulled the cloth out of Zhao Dashan's mouth and put the bowl to his mouth.

When Zhao Dashan saw that the person feeding him the medicine was Zhang Ergou, his former good friend, he was delighted. He rolled his eyes and begged him, "Brother, since I saved your life on the battlefield before, can you please stop forcing me to drink the medicine?"

Zhang Ergou said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Brother Dashan, although the general said you were a spy, I don't believe it. If you were a spy, how could you be so cruel to the Jin soldiers? I saw you kill many Jin soldiers with my own eyes."

At this point, he paused.

Zhao Dashan's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Zhang Ergou's words. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhang Ergou continue, "But, in the barracks, I must follow the general's orders, otherwise I will be punished by military law. Brother Dashan, don't embarrass me. Don't worry, this is just ordinary muscle softening powder. It will only make you weak, and it won't do any harm to your body! When General Cao comes back, I will definitely speak well of you!"

When Zhao Dashan heard his words, his face turned green. If he waited for General Cao to come back, he would lose his life. Why did he still say nice things? Who did he think he was?

Seeing Zhao Dashan's face was very ugly, Zhang Ergou sneaked to the entrance of the tent, carefully looked outside, then ran back to Zhao Dashan, leaned over to his ear and said, "Brother Dashan, I'm afraid you'll feel weak all over and too uncomfortable, so I secretly reduced the amount of this tendon softener by more than half. You can deliberately make some noise and drink it!"

Zhao Dashan's mood had fallen to the bottom, but after hearing what Zhang Ergou said, it immediately improved.

He nodded and deliberately shouted at the top of his voice: "Er Gou, I won't make it difficult for you. Drink the medicine now. I will wait for General Cao to come back and clear my grievances!"

After shouting, he winked at Zhang Ergou. Seeing this, Zhang Ergou cooperated very well and handed the bowl to Zhao Dashan's mouth. Zhao Dashan gulped down the whole bowl of medicine.

"Brother Dashan, I'm sorry to have to bear with you for a few days. I'm leaving now!"

After Zhang Ergou finished speaking, he wanted to leave with the empty bowl.

He walked very slowly, and silently called out in his heart: one, two...

Before he called out three, Zhao Dashan stopped him just as the general had said.

He quickly turned around and returned to Zhao Dashan, asking, "What's wrong, Brother Dashan, is there anything else?"

"Er Gou, please loosen my rope a little. It's too uncomfortable to tie me up like this!"

Zhao Dashan pretended to look uncomfortable and said to Zhang Ergou.

"this..."

Seeing that Zhang Ergou did not refuse directly but seemed a little hesitant, Zhao Dashan was very happy.

He whispered to Zhang Ergou, "Brother Dashan, didn't I ask you to untie me? Just loosen the rope a little. Look, the rope is almost cutting into my flesh! Even if you loosen it a little, I can't break free!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ergou looked at Zhao Dashan's wrist and saw that the skin there was broken and red.

He showed a trace of reluctance on his face. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and nodded, and whispered to Zhao Dashan: "Brother Dashan, you can't let others know that I helped you!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this and let you down!"

Zhao Dashan quickly made a promise to Zhang Ergou.

Zhang Ergou ran to the door of the tent again and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he trotted over to Zhao Dashan, quickly untied the rope, and tied him up again, but not as tightly as before.

"Thank you, my good brother! You train so hard during the day, and you still have to watch over me at night? I'm really sorry for your hard work!"

Zhao Dashan pretended to be grateful, thanked Zhang Ergou in a low voice, then looked at him apologetically and said.

"Brother Dashan, we've given you a muscle softener and tied you up. Your tent is still in the center of the military camp, so we don't have to stay up all night to watch over you. You can't run away!"

Zhang Ergou smiled at Zhao Dashan with confidence.

"How could I run away? I'm still waiting for General Cao to come back and clear my name. Humph, I want to see who framed me in front of General Cao!"

Zhao Dashan pretended to be angry and said.

"Then Dashan, you should get some sleep. I'm leaving now. I have to get up early for training tomorrow!"
