Chapter 548: The Opposite
When the two of them left the inn, they did not go directly to the shop that sold clothes, but went to the pawnshop first.
When they came out, they didn't bring any silver, they were all jade beads and other things stolen from the palace, because Archer's mother and son lived like that on weekdays, so naturally there was no silver, so although they came out quickly, they were not in a hurry, and they brought a lot of things along the way.
They also deliberately selected the things they brought, and they didn't pick those things that were too special, because they knew that the bosses of these pawnshops outside the palace were sharp-eyed, and they could see at a glance that they were not ordinary people's things, and it would be difficult to guarantee the situation when the time came.
Entered the pawnshop, everything went smoothly, Lu Qingyang took out a few ordinary bracelets, the value is certain, but ordinary people, some money can also be bought, so the boss does not have any special expression, things are so smooth and smooth, exchanged for a lot of silver, at least they will be enough in the north.
After leaving the pawnshop, Lu Qingyang took Archer to the shop that sold clothes.
found a shop that sold clothes, and Lu Qingyang chose a few simple clothes for everyone, which were not so gorgeous, and were the same as those worn by ordinary people.
Later, on the way back, Archer looked at the various shops on the street with a pair of eyes open, which was very novel.
At first, Archer was just walking and watching, but then he walked more and more slowly, sometimes after watching for a while, he ran to keep up with Lu Qingyang. Lu Qingyang naturally watched his movements, but he just wanted to tease him. Then I really felt that his eyes looked pitiful, so I stopped to look at him and said, "What do you want?"
Archer turned behind him, pointed to a kite shop not far away, and said, "I, I want that." β
Lu Qingyang raised his eyes, saw clearly that he was referring to the kite, and then gently lowered his head and asked him, "Why? It's so hard that you don't want anything else, there are still a lot of delicious foods on this street, why only point to that?"
Archer looked down at his toes, and then raised his head to look at Lu Qingyang and said, "You saved me, I don't want to trouble you."

Looking at Archer like this, Lu Qingyang couldn't help but want to touch Archer's head.
But he didn't stretch out his hand, but told Archer with a smile: "It's good not to trouble others, but since we have come to the same road, then Mengshu and I are no one else, so in the future, you don't have to worry about bothering the two of us, you must tell something about it." If you are still as cautious as you were in the palace before, then wouldn't it be in vain for you and us to go to the northern country, and the situation has not changed at all?"
In fact, after saying so much, I just want this kid to not have to be as careful as he was in the palace in the future.
Although Archer was young, he also understood Lu Qingyang's thoughts, nodded and looked at Lu Qingyang and said, "Mmmm." β
He nodded gently, but looking at Lu Qingyang's eyes, he was so serious and even moved.
"Let's go buy kites first. Lu Qingyang reached out to touch Archer's head, but after touching the buns of the two little girls who had just been braided by Mengshu, he felt a little strange, and then let go of his hand.
Walked to the shop where he bought kites, Lu Qingyang asked Archer to pick a kite he liked, Archer just glanced at it, and pointed to a red kite shaped like a koi and looked at Lu Qingyang and said, "I want that one." β
The boss was on the side, and saw that Archer liked it, so he took it down and handed it to Archer. And Lu Qingyang paid the boss randomly.
In this way, Archer held the kite all the way, walking like a child and looking at it. But it should be said wrong, Archer was originally a child, but from the time Lu Qingyang knew him to the present, what he has been seeing on his face is the kind of look that is no longer worried all the time, not worried, but very restrained, restrained like an adult, because children will never be restrained.
But seeing this unrestrained smile on his face today, he felt that Archer was actually a little child.
He's just a kid!
Walking all the way, Lu Qingyang went up to buy some for Archer as long as he saw something, and until later, Archer didn't dare to look at things.
And Lu Qingyang couldn't help but smile when he saw him walking seriously, and rubbed the little girl's bun that Mengshu combed for him a few times, but Mengshu's craftsmanship was good, and he didn't mess up the bun after rubbing it so many times.
Along the way, Archer refused to eat with something, saying that he would return to the inn and let his mother eat together, Lu Qingyang also knew his intentions, and he didn't stop him, after all, he was happier than tasting delicious food alone now and definitely not eating with his loved ones.
Meng Shu sat at the door like a young woman waiting for Lu Qingyang and Archer, and as soon as Lu Qingyang entered the door, he saw such a long-awaited Meng Shu.
Immediately, Lu Qingyang was really taken aback. He turned his head to look at Meng Shu and said, "Is Meng Meiren waiting for the return of the Xianggong?"
He Mengshu presumably, Lu Qingyang's kung fu is naturally not enough, although Lu Qingyang's thinking is quick, but it is only in things, for this kind of idle bickering, it is far inferior to Mengshu, who has made a name for himself in the human market since he was a child.
So when Lu Qingyang said this, Meng Shu immediately went back.
"Of course it's you, who else can you wait for?"
At that moment, Lu Qingyang glanced inside the room, and clearly saw that a smile of unknown meaning suddenly appeared on the corner of Archer's mother's mouth.
Immediately, Lu Qingyang cursed Mengshu in his heart, and then made his attitude clear: "I'm sorry, I'm not breaking my sleeves." β
Lu Qingyang knew that if he continued to talk to Mengshu, the market vocabulary in his stomach must not be as many as Lu Qingyang, so it was not smart to continue the conversation with him, it was better to directly pick on him and choke him. Unexpectedly, Meng Shu was just stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned around and smiled: "Ah, you are a person, dare not do it, you are like that, and you still refuse others like this?"
At that time, Lu Qingyang's head really banged, he didn't know what was going on, he couldn't believe Mengshu's words.
This kid was definitely deliberate, but Lu Qingyang thought that Meng Shu was just a deliberate statement, but he found that he had completely underestimated his scale before.
This kid is really more gangsters than those gangsters in the market. At this time, Lu Qingyang found out that he probably shouldn't have quarreled with him before. He couldn't talk about him after all, and now he really felt a little ashamed of himself.
On weekdays, he would just beat Meng Shu up, but now that Archer's mother is here, Lu Qingyang didn't think it was very good, and finally decided to settle the matter.
I only scolded this second goods in my heart.
And I thought there was nothing to do, but I didn't expect that Archer on the side gave his mother the koi kite, and then looked up at his mother with that eager to know and said, "Mother, what did Brother Meng mean just now, why can't I understand it?"
Archer has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he learned things extremely quickly when he was a child, and now he can generally understand what he reads by himself, but he didn't understand what Lu Qingyang and Mengshu said just now, so he asked his mother.
At that time, Archer's hand holding the kite was clearly suspended in the air, and the kite almost fell, she pulled the corners of her lips and said, "This............" She stretched her voice, naturally thinking about how to explain to Archer, because she also saw that it seemed that these two people were just playing tricks on each other, but poor Archer, this kid didn't understand anything, and at this moment she was looking at herself with a pair of big flickering eyes, and she obviously wanted to know.
She couldn't explain what a broken sleeve was so bluntly, because if she did, she was a little worried that Archer's view of love would change in the future.
At this time, Meng Shu suddenly walked over with a smile and said: "Archer, there are some things, not necessarily you must know at this age, sometimes, when you reach the right age, you will know something better, just like spring is suitable for kite flying, but winter is not." β
At this moment, Mengshu has turned into a warm big brother, and he has completely put away Fang Cai's appearance of a gangster, which makes Archer a little uncomfortable, but after looking at it twice, he has also adapted, after all, Mengshu's appearance cannot be ignored in the crowd, not to mention that he is extraordinarily warm now, which makes Archer like it even more.
After changing their clothes, Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu ordered some food and left here after filling their stomachs with Archer and Archer's mother. This is what they planned early on, after all, they have been out for some time, and they have not been in a hurry, if the palace sends someone out to search, then it will definitely be able to find here, plus although they entered the inn after being decorated outside, but the clothes are still a little gorgeous, although there are many people in the inn, but it is inevitable that the boss will notice them, and when the time comes, if the boss really remembers them, the first thing that comes to mind is them, so as not to have a long night and many dreams, it is better to hurry earlier and stop in a slightly safer placeγ
The eldest princess in the palace disappeared, and disappeared with her son, so how could this palace not care. And only the mother and son knew how they had been doing all these years, except for those heartfelt guards, so they could come and arrest her for any reason.
So now they have to flee quickly, the first thing is to get out of the royal city of the southern country, as long as they get out of the royal city, the scope of searching for them will be larger, so that even if they stretch out their hands for a long time, they have to look for them little by little, and they will not be able to find them for a while, and they don't know the existence of Lu Qingyang and Mengshu, so they naturally don't think that they are going in the direction of the northern country.
That way, everything will be much easier.
So they had to get out of the city as soon as possible, and they could rest for a while when they got out of the city, but they couldn't in the city. It's too dangerous here, and if it's really discovered, Lu Qingyang isn't sure that he can control the guards all over the city with his spells.
The best thing to do is not to be hard and quit early.
The walls of the royal city were too high, so the two of them decided to use the most primitive method to pretend to be ordinary people and go out of the city.
Getting out of the city is actually nothing more than passing through that city gate. Fortunately, Lu Qingyang learned illusions, and he didn't spend any spells today, and after passing through the city gate for a while, Lu Qingyang was very sure that he would be able to get out.
Therefore, there was no need to look around, they immediately changed four signs for those who went out of the city, and when they arrived at the city gate, they also went out smoothly with the people who went out of the city.
And not long after they went out, Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu heard the call to close the city gate behind them. The group continued to hold the carriage in front indifferently, and there was no abnormal appearance in the slightest, because they could still be seen here from the city tower, and if they behaved too abnormally, they would naturally be noticed.
They bought a carriage when they went out of the city, and Meng Shu had been driving outside at this time, while Lu Qingyang and Archer and Archer's mother were sitting inside.
They waited until they had walked a long, long distance before they were sure they were out of sight of the soldiers on the tower.
There are no villages and towns around, barren mountains and mountains, but they still want to stop. Why stop? Because they can't go any further, and the front is the opposite of their destination.
The northland they were going to was the exact opposite of the direction in which their carriage was going, not because they were going wrong, but because they did it on purpose. Because among the many carriages, there were very few carriages that went to the north, so if they went to the north like this, it would definitely attract attention, and when the time came, I was afraid that it would help them narrow the range, so they deliberately came in the opposite direction, and when they reached a place where they could not see the sight, they turned a large circle to the north.
Although it is troublesome, but if you want to be safe, after all, the army of the entire royal city is not a joke, even if Lu Qingyang can escape by himself, but Archer and his mother have no mana at all, if the army in the city comes out, it will be impossible for him to retreat with their whole body, so it is better to be conservative, after all, they are not in a hurry to meet the northern country, they only want safety. What's more, with such a big princess, the royal family will definitely not be stingy with their army, it may not only be the army of the entire royal city, it is likely that the whole country will be notified.
This shows how far-sighted they were at the beginning of the book, and no one would recognize them when they were done.
After a big circle, Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu hurried forward, Archer's mother was not good at eating in the palace, and everything she had to eat on weekdays was given to Archer, and now although she ate well on the road, she was finally sick after a long day of driving and horses.
