Returning after a three-year escape from death, the tyrant has turned evil.

Chapter 175 Carrier Pigeon, Making Contact

Xie Ling strode out, took a carrier pigeon out of the cage, and the pigeon stood obediently on his hand.

Xie Ling sighed silently.

To put it simply, while the carrier pigeon might be able to find the place, they might also discover it's a carrier pigeon. If they open the note inside, then...
He had to write something, but it had to be extremely simple.

Xie Ling pondered for a moment, then strode inside, took out paper and pen, and wrote two words on a small piece of paper:
"She's awake."

If Song Yi can see it, he will definitely understand.

He carefully folded the note, stuffed it into an extra-small bamboo tube, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and watched it flap its wings and fly away, feeling somewhat uneasy.

I hope it will definitely reach the hands of the Imperial Concubine.

Otherwise, His Majesty would definitely insist on going to the front lines to fight.

When Xie Ling returned, Jiang Lanye was leaning against the bed. He quickly glanced at the bowl of medicine on the table and saw that it was empty. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Jiang Lanye was very cooperative in taking care of his health.

"Your Majesty, there is good news. The road for transporting grain has been completely opened. The soldiers at the front no longer need to rest and recuperate. Some time ago, I launched a night raid and saw the place where they were raising cattle and sheep. However, it is difficult to rush in and burn them all to death."

"In addition, His Majesty's tactics are particularly effective. They are the ones who are in a hurry, but we are not. We can proceed step by step."

So, in their desperation, they took the risk of coming to their vicinity and kidnapping Song Yi to take her hostage. Since she was a hostage, Song Yi was now absolutely safe.

Thinking of this, Xie Ling felt a little relieved and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your plans for the next step?"

Jiang Lanye said coldly, "Continue. We must speed things up. I can't wait much longer."

The battle was fought back and forth, but now Song Yi has been captured.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will also lead troops to provide support. However, this will result in a significant reduction in the number of soldiers remaining at the garrison."

"You need not concern yourself with me."

His heart had already gone with Song Yi. Now, he was like a puppet, drinking medicine and eating, just trying to survive. As long as he was alive, he could save Song Yi.

Xie Ling stood there staring at him for a long time, then Jiang Lanye suddenly said:
"Give me all the memorials; I need to deal with them."

"But."

"Give it to me."

Seeing that Jiang Lanye was determined to do so, Xie Ling gritted his teeth, recalling the words of the military doctor, and wanted to persuade him again.

"Don't make me say it a third time."

He said coldly.

Xie Ling dared not say anything more and quickly handed the document to Jiang Lanye.

With Song Yi absent, who would dare disobey the emperor's orders?
Another table was placed in front of Jiang Lanye. He had just vomited blood, but now he acted as if nothing had happened.

Xie Ling had no choice but to leave.

As Jiang Lanye looked around, he suddenly threw off the covers and got out of bed. He slowly walked to the cabinet, opened it, took out a dress belonging to Song Yi, and sniffed it.

He was trembling all over.

He needed to see Song Yi's things and smell Song Yi's scent in order to control himself; otherwise, he would definitely go crazy.

Song Yi, where are you?
When Song Yi opened her eyes and woke up, she found that Lang Xiao was gone. There were only traces of him lying on the low couch, and no maids came in to tidy up.

She had just sat up when the maid heard something, brought in a basin of warm water, and then handed her butter tea and meat to eat.

After a quick wash, Song Yi asked directly:
"Where did your young master go?"

"Young Master is very busy every day. He leads troops to the front line early in the morning. Why are you asking this?"

The maid watched her warily. Song Yi took a breath; she always felt extremely uncomfortable being with Lang Xiao.

"When will he be back?" "Tonight, I think."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

It's truly baffling. She's just a prisoner, so why does the young master insist on feeding and treating her so well?

Women from the Central Plains are far less agile and strong than them; their bodies are as soft as willow branches. What is so good about them?

After eating, Song Yi noticed a few words written on a piece of paper on the table.

It appears to have been written by Wolf Owl, as the characters are exceptionally large and the strokes are wild.

"You may go out today."

Upon seeing this, Song Yi blinked and laughed.

If we can get out, things will be much easier.

When she walked out, no one stopped her.

This was the first time she had ever properly seen the grassland in daylight. It was just past dawn, and the entire grassland was bathed in golden light. When the wind blew, the grass rippled and undulated.

Song Yi felt regret at such a beautiful and vast scene, seeing it from this perspective.

If the dynasty becomes stable in the future, she wants to find an opportunity to travel around with Jiang Lanye.

Thinking of this, Song Yi lowered her eyelids with mixed feelings.

She plans to go back to the place where cattle and sheep are kept and take a closer look.

She walked over and reached out to touch the fences, which were made of wood and were quite high, to prevent cattle and sheep from jumping out.

The area was so large that she walked around for a long time before finally seeing a door. However, the door was bound with an unusually thick iron chain and locked with an iron lock.

There is definitely more than one key here, but they are all with people that Song Yi doesn't usually have access to.

If the wolf owl has the key.

Song Yi pursed her lips. Even so, it was impossible to burn the whole place down with a single fire. She had to get more things and gain Wolf Owl's trust.

Suddenly, a flapping sound came from above. Song Yi subconsciously looked up and was startled.

These are their homing pigeons!

It has a white body, but its wings are somewhat grayish, and its beak is red.

Song Yi instantly realized something. She quickly looked around and, seeing that no one was coming to her spot, she raised her hand to let the carrier pigeon land on her hand. She quickly untied the thing wrapped around its leg, and fearing that others would notice, she quickly let the carrier pigeon fly away.

Song Yi's heart pounded like a drum. She clutched the thing in her hand tightly and, using her long sleeves as cover, slowly walked back.

Fortunately, no one outside suspected her.

She couldn't wait to sit down at the table and take out the note inside.

Her hands were trembling as she prepared to unfold it.

Song Yi took a deep breath, quickly unfolded the book, and found that only two words were written on it: "Awake".

The handwriting is clearly not Jiang Lanye's.

Jiang Lanye woke up?
Song Yi knew this day would come, and this note might have been written to her by Xie Ling.

Before Lang Xiao returns, she needs to quickly write a reply to Jiang Lanye, telling him that she is not in danger, otherwise Jiang Lanye will definitely rush to save her at all costs.

Song Yi was really worried about his health.

Immediately afterwards, Song Yi placed the paper in the charcoal brazier and watched it burn completely.
