Reminiscing about the old days
He asked her, "Are you sure you really want this?"
She had changed into a princess dress, dressed in a simple white robe, draped in a silver velvet brocade robe, and her tear-stained face was born of determination, "I'm sure, I've never been so relaxed as I am now." Ji Changan, I have decided, I want to get rid of all this, I choose you, you take me away. ”
He nodded, "Okay." ”
They sneaked out of the palace from the secret passage in the Zhaoming Palace, away from the high palace wall, Jia Ning took a long breath, the two looked back, and Ji Changan asked again: "You really won't regret it?"
She shook her head, "No." ”
Ji Changan put on a hat on her cloak, held her hand, and walked shoulder to shoulder with her into the most noisy crowd in Chang'an City in front of her.
Ji Changan first found a thick brocade carriage and let Jianing sit in the carriage, he said: "I have to go to the Yunlai Inn first, get my equipment bag, and then we will go out of the city, anyway, I have saved a lot of silver, we can go wherever we want." ”
Jianing smiled: "Yes." She closed the carriage door, let him drive, and gave herself to the man with peace of mind.
Outside the Yunlai Inn, Ji Changan got out of the car and told Jianing: "You don't have to come down, you don't have to be seen, I'll go get something, I'll come right away, you are waiting here." ”
He went into the inn, paid for the room, and ran upstairs, also with a resolute face. He pushed the door directly into the room, Zhan Ying was really inside, he ran over, took out the talisman of Wan Chaozong and threw it in front of Zhan Ying: "Lao Tzu is gone! You listen to me, from now on I have nothing to do with your Wan Chaozong, I don't know you or Xun Shaoling, you look, although I look like this, but I am just me! I am not from Wan Chaozong, nor am I from Luoyunmen! I am just me!"
Zhan Ying Mo Ming: "You don't want the divine jade anymore?"
Ji Changan gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "I don't want it!"
"You don't want to go back to your old self?" Zhan Ying was a little caught off guard.
Ji Changan hooked his lips and smiled: "Yes, it's good like this now." ”
Zhanying felt incredible, but she didn't expect to see such a big change in his attitude for a long time. "Don't you want to go back to your hometown?"
Ji Changan packed up his things, took out the equipment bag and the hidden sniper rifle and carried it on his shoulder, turned around neatly and walked towards the door, and waved his hand to Zhanying: "Don't go back!"
Zhanying was slightly stunned, picked up the talisman he had returned, held it tightly in his hand, thought for a while, and then opened the window to summon Wan Chaozong to work carefully, and ordered them to follow up and investigate Ji Chang'an.
Ji Changan quickly left the Yunlai Inn, and drove the carriage to the city gate quickly, he knew that there might be Wan Chaozong or Luo Yunmen's fine work to follow them, and Zhanying would not let him go easily, so he didn't dare to delay for a second, and hurriedly walked out of the city gate with Jianing and left Chang'an.
When she went out of the city gate, Jianing opened the carriage curtain and looked back, she really felt empty in her heart, all the pressure was thrown away, and her heart surged with an extreme joy that she had never experienced, a bit like the joy of a child stealing candy, and like the impulsive ecstasy when she finally took a new step bravely, she wanted to quickly devote herself to a new life, no longer a princess, no longer a master, just to do something happy.
After rushing for more than an hour, he dared to stop and rest for a while after he was far away from the gate of Chang'an City, and discussed the most important thing with Jianing: "Where are we going?"
Jianing smiled lightly: "Go to Jiangnan, Jiaxing or Yangzhou." ”
Ji Changan whipped up the carriage again, and said with a hearty smile: "Okay! Then let's go down to Jiangnan! Let's go to Jiaxing! Let's open a hotel! I'll be the boss, and you will be the boss!"
Jianing opened the carport door, sat next to him and drove with him, and said, "I'm not Zhuo Wenjun, I won't sell wine, I won't do anything, what do you say?"
"Then you will take the money and spend it, and you will do this! I will do anything else!" he patted his chest and said bitterly.
Jianing looked at him happily: "Okay!"
The two went all the way south, and Jianing thought of a question and asked him seriously: "Are you really sure...... Do you want that?"
Ji Changan turned his head to look at her, stretched out his hand and scraped her face, and said, "Of course, didn't I say it earlier? I'm going to take you away, and now my goal has finally been achieved! I didn't expect that I could really kidnap a princess after a big circle, which is awesome! I began to admire myself." ”
Seeing his narcissistic appearance, Jianing jokingly pushed him, he almost got out of the car, and after sitting down, he grabbed Jianing's shoulder, but suddenly looked at her with a deep face, and said: "Jianing, you may have forgotten that I chased thousands of miles from Youzhou to Chang'an, just for you." ”
"I haven't forgotten, I just don't believe I'm going to fall in love with you. Her gaze wandered between his eyebrows, and she said, "Now I believe it." ”
After Mo Li persuaded Jiayi to return to the palace, he told him to be normal and not let people know about Jianing's disappearance, and Changle also promised her to help secretly find Ji Chang'an and Jianing in Chang'an City. Several of them didn't rest this night, Jiayi waited anxiously in Shaohua Palace, Mo Li asked the secret guard to search for Ji Chang'an's traces, and then looked for Jianing everywhere in the palace, after confirming that Jianing was not in the palace, the sky was about to brighten, she went to Luoyunmen, asked to see Elder Qingyuan, and secretly reported the matter to the elder.
And said her guess: "Her Royal Highness...... It should have been with Ji Changan......"
Elder Qingyuan stroked his beard and said, "It's only been one night, Li'er, it's not easy to make a conclusion, Your Highness may not be ...... Maybe it's just going out of the palace to do something, isn't it possible?"
Mo Li said anxiously: "But Master, Her Royal Highness the Princess left the golden hairpin and the head token! And she disappeared with Ji Chang'an! Her Royal Highness has never been so unexplained when she leaves the palace on weekdays, no matter how sudden it is, she will not take me there! This time she didn't say a word......
"It's not good! It's really a disaster!" Elder Qingyuan heard her say that the head token was left by Jianing, so he understood the seriousness of this matter, sighed, looked worried, and ordered: "Li'er, don't panic, now we must first ensure that this matter will not be leaked, and we must not let people know that the whereabouts of the princess are unknown, you go back to the Zhaoming Palace first, stabilize all parties in the palace, and do everything as usual, someone will visit the princess and go out of the palace to do the business of Luoyunmen, in short, remember, you must keep it secret! You also have to act as a princess just outside!"
Mo Li knocked on the leader's order: "Master!
"Then you should send someone out of the city to find Your Highness, right?"
Elder Qingyuan said: "Well, the old man will first send Luo Yunmen to find Ji Chang'an, only to say that he betrayed Luo Yunmen and wanted to arrest him back, and if he finds him, there is almost news of His Highness." Let's wait, if it is confirmed, His Highness is leaving with Ji Changan...... I have to go to Tianzi Mountain to invite Master Chenghuang. ”
"Yes!" Mo left to bid farewell to the elders and returned to the Zhaoming Palace.
The departure of Jianing and Ji Changan was too sudden for Mo Li and them, and the Luo Yunmen meticulous workers, who had always been closely monitored, were not aware of it, and they could not provide any useful information for a while.
Elder Qingyuan summoned Xiang Tiange and asked him to search for the "Luoyunmen traitor" Ji Chang'an all over Chang'an City, which Xiang Tiange did not expect, so he listened to Elder Qingyuan's words and searched for it, mobilized the details of all parts of Chang'an City, and asked them to want Ji Chang'an in the whole city.
Because after Ji Changan joined Luo Yunmen, Luo Yunmen's eyes didn't stare at him much, so he didn't know much about his whereabouts. After some investigation, Fengyuntang's eyeliner said that Ji Changan had boxed with someone in Fengyuntang on the morning of his disappearance and quit Fengyuntang after losing, and after investigating at the Yunlai Inn where he stayed every day, he found that he had settled the account and left the room yesterday evening, and left in a carriage.
Xiang Tiange went back to Elder Qingyuan in the evening: "...... The disciple thought that he should have decided to leave Chang'an because of the humiliation he had suffered in Fengyun Hall, he had no intention of being careful, and it was possible to abscond willfully...... "He couldn't solve his doubts, so he had to analyze it like this, and he knew that this statement was far-fetched.
Xiang Tiange was puzzled, but he solved the doubts between Elder Qingyuan and Mo Li, that is, he said that Ji Changan drove away in a carriage last night, which confirmed that Jianing did leave with Ji Changan.
This comes to the crux of the matter, Jianing really left all this behind and eloped with Ji Changan.
But the latest information they have is only for the time being, and they have only gone out of the southern city gate, and there is no specific whereabouts for them. Xiang Tiange sent a detailed city to track down Ji Chang'an, but Jianing and Ji Chang'an were both masters of stealth and anti-reconnaissance, and they went like a mud cow entering the sea without a trace.
After searching for a few more days, Elder Qingyuan decided to ask Master Chenghuang for help, she was Jianing's master, and I am afraid that only she could call the shots in this matter. On the issue of who to send to Tianzi Mountain to invite Master Chenghuang, Elder Qingyuan made another difficulty. Mo Li has to stay in the palace to stabilize all parties, he must handle the affairs of the door on behalf of the head of Luoyun Gate, and there is news from the Beiliang side from time to time, only he or Mo Li can receive the news, if one of them leaves the palace, it is not appropriate.
When exploring this matter, Mo Li said: "Master, the disciple thinks that there is one person who can go to Tianzi Mountain, but he is not from Luoyunmen. ”
"Who?" asked Elder Qingyuan.
Mo Li knelt down and bowed and apologized: "Please also ask Master to forgive Mo Li for the crime of leaking secrets in a hurry." ”
"Eh, Li'er, it's this time, how can the old man still have the heart to care about these things with you, you just say it. Elder Qingyuan asked Mo to leave.
Mo Li said: "When the disciples went to dissuade the Fifth Highness from leaving the palace that night, the eldest grandson Changle Gongzi was also there, and he knew about the disappearance of Her Royal Highness the princess, and he was also helping to find it in the past few days. The disciple said it to dissuade His Highness Five, and he had no intention of leaking secrets, so please don't blame Master. ”
"Eldest grandson Changle Gongzi?" Elder Qingyuan said contemplatively: "Since he knows about this matter, as long as he can keep it secret, speaking of him, he is indeed the best candidate to go to Tianzi Mountain." ”
Mo Li's jaw head: "Then the disciple will go to Changle Gongzi and ask him to go this way." ”
Mo Li's words were as soon as he finished speaking, but Elder Qingyuan stopped her and said, "Li'er doesn't need you to go, you still stay in the Zhaoming Hall and pay attention to the news from the north." It's good for the old man to go to the prime minister's mansion, and if he wants to come to this matter, he can't help but inform the prime minister. ”
That night, Elder Qingyuan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see the eldest grandson Qingyun in private, and told him about the matter, and the eldest grandson Qingyun was already worried about Shen Huayin's book and running away, and learned that Jianing had also disappeared on the same night, so he was even more anxious, and immediately ordered Changle to rush to Tianzi Mountain to ask his mother Chenghuang Shitai to return to Chang'an
