Chapter Ninety-Nine: Misunderstanding
"Brother Wang, let me tell you......" Yu Mingzhi stepped into Luo's house, and saw that the newly moved table was knocked aside, and the two chairs fell to the ground, and Uncle Luo looked at the person lying on the ground in a daze.
"Ouch-" The man wailed, clutching his legs, his whole face distorted in pain.
"What's the matter?" asked Yu Mingzhi in surprise.
Uncle Luo came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help the man up, "Let me see the wound on your leg." He helped the man back to the bed, rolled up his trousers, and found that the blood had oozed out, and shook his head and sighed, "Tell you to be careful, why don't you listen?
The man apologized repeatedly.
Yu Mingzhi snorted.
Uncle Luo explained: "He wanted to go to the thatched house just now, but he was in too much of a hurry and hit the table and chair. β
It turned out that it wasn't going to be done. Yu Mingzhi said "retribution" while secretly observing his face.
Uncle Luo acted as a peacemaker and said to her: "Eldest sister, let's talk about it later, can you let me re-dress his wound first?" If the person is tossed to death, and his family will investigate it, you and I will not have good fruit to eat, right?"
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk about you yet. Yu Mingzhi staggered to find a low stool and sat down, watching Uncle Luo busy before and after.
Uncle Luo asked, "Eldest sister, what do you want to say?"
Yu Mingzhi said: "I look at him, I can't let him run away." Anyway, my son is in the city, and it's not interesting for me to stay at home alone, so I might as well come and talk to you. β
Uncle Luo laughed "haha", "That's sorry." I'll have to go out and see someone in a minute. Do you know the old widower surnamed Li at the end of the village? He was already in poor health, but he was too lazy to die, and he drank the water without boiling it. β
Yu Mingzhi said: "No wonder I haven't seen anyone else for a few days." β
She and Uncle Luo made up lies, and they hadn't rehearsed beforehand, but they actually answered each other fluently at this time.
The man lay with his eyes closed, his brow furrowed deeply, and he couldn't fathom his mind for a moment.
Yu Mingzhi saw that Uncle Luo was busy, and slowly stepped forward to stand in front of the window. Look at the man's pale face. Then he beckoned to Miss Luo, who was hiding behind the curtain, and his hand hung down and went straight into his sleeve.
She hid the knife given by Qin Ji in her sleeve.
As long as this person makes any moves, she and Miss Luo will work together, and this person will not be able to step out of this house alive.
Miss Luo tapped her toes on the ground. Dexterously and sensitively scurrying to the bed. Hit the man's acupuncture points.
The man didn't even have time to open his eyes to take a look. He couldn't move, he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't say a word.
Yu Mingzhi made a silent gesture. Then tiptoed back to the back room, Qin Ji was leaning on the bedside to read a medical book, the sun fell on him through the window, although his clothes were torn and his hair was a little scattered, but he couldn't stop the brilliance from the inside out, so handsome and charming.
Yu Mingzhi blinked, closed the door and said softly, "That person has a murderous aura. β
Qin Ji put down the book and looked over, his face was as flat as usual, "How is this person now?"
"I was pointed at by Miss Luo. Yu Mingzhi said with some apprehension: "But I can't be sure if he deliberately got seriously injured and mixed into the village, or if he came here by accident, so I can't be sure if Shan Jingwei and other subordinates will find this place." β
When I returned to the capital and rushed to the Qin family to find Hangyang and them, it would take two moments of time, and it was difficult to say what had changed during the period.
She considered what she would encounter on the way back, and she was even more worried about whether it would be dangerous to leave Qin Ji here alone.
She looked at Qin Ji, as if his face with a faint smile could give her infinite strength to move forward fearlessly.
"I'll go back as soon as I go, you hide carefully. Yu Mingzhi nodded.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. When Yu Mingzhi was about to turn away, Qin Ji took her hand and pulled her closer to him.
"Huh?" Yu Mingzhi looked at him puzzled.
After blinking, Qin Ji had already stood up and kissed her on the lips.
The action came too fast, and Yu Mingzhi's eyes widened.
She had nowhere to retreat, her breath was full of each other's breath, and the gentle lingering made her gaze soften instantly, and she closed her eyes in response to his deep kiss.
The first time they kissed, the movements were a little clumsy, but they also tasted sweetness from it.
They looked at each other and smiled, and then Yu Mingzhi turned around and left firmly, she didn't dare to slow down, for fear that the pause and hesitation for a moment would bring death to Qin Ji.
She walked through the front room, picked up a stick from the ground as a cane, did not take off her disguise, and walked directly in the direction of the capital.
The village is surrounded by low hills and woods, and the muddy path is lined with bleak and sparse crops, and several middle-aged men and women sit on the ridges and sigh and say, "I am afraid that this year's defense of the city will not last the winter", they are immersed in the sadness of the problem of food and clothing, and do not notice a "young woman" who walks by on the path.
Out of the sight of those people, Yu Mingzhi suddenly quickened his pace, but as soon as he took a step, a piercing pain spread from his knee.
That's when she remembered that she had a knee injury.
The pain was like a wave, coming for a while and then subsided.
Yu Mingzhi looked back and forth, leaned on a stick, and continued to walk forward quickly.
Fortunately, this road has been walked by countless people, except for the rain and mud at night, it is still easy to walk.
When Yu Mingzhi climbed to the top of the hill, he could already see the flags fluttering on the top of the city.
The bright yellow dragon flag waving in the wind brought hope to her, and she let out a low cheer and cautiously went downhill.
The mud is so slippery that if you're not careful, or if you step on a rock, you'll slide down. Such a slow downhill made her more and more anxious, although she didn't see a single figure all the way, but there was more than one way into the village.
I don't know what Qin Ji is doing now?
Yu Mingzhi touched her lips, and the fiery feeling from the lingering deep kiss still remained on her lips at this moment.
It turns out that kissing the person you like is what it feels like......
Yu Mingzhi didn't expect this to come so quickly.
She pursed her lips and continued downhill.
Then. There was a sound of horses' hooves, and she looked up nervously and expectantly, and several figures appeared in front of her, and she couldn't see who it was.
She clenched her stick tightly to match her current appearance, and walked slowly.
Soon, the men approached.
She then wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, glanced at the person on the horse, and was shocked.
It's not Hangyang, they're it. Nor a few familiar guards.
A few people were in the dust. The face under the straw hat is fierce.
Could it be a person who is alone?
Yu Mingzhi suppressed the fear in his heart and continued to move forward unhurriedly.
She couldn't show the slightest abnormality at this time, let alone go back.
Human life is like an ant to them, and they can kill courtiers without mercy. What's more, a woman from a mountain village was hacked to death on the side of the road with a knife. No one will bother to pursue it.
And once her identity is revealed. Wouldn't it let them know where Qin Ji was?
Yu Mingzhi lowered his gaze, seeing that the group was about to pass, and suddenly one of them stopped holding the rope. "Old woman, let me ask you if there is a village in front of you where homeless people live?"
"Huh?" Yu Mingzhi turned around slowly, pretending to be behind his ears, "What did you say?"
The man's gaze instantly became gloomy and fierce, but he still raised his voice and asked, "Go ahead, is there a village where homeless people gather!"
"yes, yes. Yu Mingzhi pointed to the east with a stick, "You go there, and you will see it in a while." β
There were two roads to the east, one did lead to the village, but she pointed to the otherβto be careful when she came.
Then, she saw the man's hand holding the knife flicker, and the knife was half an inch out of its sheath.
She held her breath and prepared to flee into the woods as best she could.
His companion called, "Hurry up!"
The knife was retracted into its sheath, and the group ran away.
Yu Mingzhi still couldn't let go of this, this road was too short, they would soon find out that something was wrong, one person chose to go to another road, and some people would definitely come to chase and kill her who deliberately pointed the wrong way!
She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and endured the pain, threw away the stick that was in the way, and rushed towards the capital.
With her violent movements, there was a warm feeling in her knees, and she didn't bother to check the dark red clothes that had leaked out, and hurried to the capital without stopping.
Rushing out of the path in the forest and coming to the official road, she saw that victory was in sight, but the long queue at the gate of the city made her stunned.
The guards at the gates are checking the identities of every citizen who enters and exits the gates.
She was kidnapped from the Yang family, and she didn't have a public test that could prove her identity at all, and now she doesn't know the situation of friend or foe, how to climb over the high city wall and enter the city?
She looked back at the way she came, Qin Ji was in danger, she was not allowed to hesitate here, she had to find a way as soon as possible.
So she also entered the crowd in the queue, and first inquired about the reason for the sudden interrogation at the city gate.
Because the inventory was a waste of time, some people had already complained, and some homeless people who wanted to enter the city without public inspection were beaten and pushed aside, and all the people who came and went complained again and again.
Yu Mingzhi listened carefully to the conversation of those people.
"Tell me, what kind of wind are those officials and masters in the city, they suddenly want to check this and that, and Jin Wuwei is running around the city, making a lot of trouble, do you want people to live!"
"Shhhh
"I heard the news!" someone who knew the "inside story" stopped and said triumphantly, "It is said that the wife of an official was kidnapped and taken away, and the official disappeared for no reason when he was looking for his wife." Some people suspect that they have been assassinated, so the city is looking for corpses and murderers!"
The people who heard this gasped, and Yu Mingzhi also showed surprise.
"Therefore, it is we, the common people, who are suffering. Alas, I was in a hurry to go out of the city to do business, and I couldn't get out until now, and the business couldn't be done, and no one came to compensate me for my losses. β
Yu Mingzhi had no intention of listening to their complaints anymore.
Who proposed martial law all over the city?
But in any case, her identity is not suitable to be exposed to the public.
She didn't dare to act rashly, she frowned and looked ahead, and after a while, the team did not advance at all, and it seemed that a few people were arguing with the guards at the city gate, so that those who had been passing stopped and watched.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering at the city gate, the road was about to be blocked.
Yu Mingzhi, who had been looking for Qin Ji for a long time, suddenly saw an ox cart full of boxes and miscellaneous items, and several jugglers were begging the congested crowd to get out of the way.
The people around were watching the excitement, and no one noticed the ox cart.
Yu Mingzhi saw the opportunity, rushed over, jumped into the ox cart, got into a basket, and put the colored cloth strips on his head.
The crowd erupted in exclamation, and some of the city gate guards, who had long been impatient, brandished their swords and guns, and shouted: "If you continue to mess around like this and block the city gate, I will be arrested and put in prison as suspicious people!"
Wherever his knife went, a cold wind gusted, scaring off several people who were arguing.
The jugglers finally found a way and hurried into the city with the ox carts.
Yu Mingzhi looked out through the gap in the basket, and was already some way away from the city gate, and there were no patrolling Jinwu guards on either side of the street.
As soon as the soles of his feet hit the ground, there was another piercing pain, and a few beads of blood fell to the ground.
The jugglers noticed the movement on the ox cart, shouted and looked over, and saw a strange woman getting out of the ox cart, and thought of the martial law in the city, and they were frightened, thinking that she was a gangster who had mixed into the city to cause trouble.
They rushed up and wanted to catch Yu Mingzhi and send him to the official.
Before they could attract more attention, Yu Mingzhi grabbed the basket and threw it at them, and then rushed into the alley next to him.
The alley was long and narrow, and there were piles of debris on both sides, and she grabbed the debris and threw it all over the ground as she ran, blocking the people who were chasing her, and at the same time running towards Qin Ji's house with her feelings.
She had never been to Qin Ji's house, but she only knew the place.
The alley is full of paths, criss-crossed, like a maze, and it is extremely easy to get lost.
Fortunately, it was a cloudless and sunny day, and she looked up at the sun to determine her direction, and quickly shook off the jugglers who were chasing her and the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guard.
Shan Jingwei can betray Qin Ji, except for Hang Yang's people, she doesn't trust the rest.
After running for a long time, Yu Mingzhi rushed out of the alley and was about to run to the north, not wanting to collide with a person passing by the alley.
She hit her head on the man's chest, and the non-stop running and anxious mood had already made her body tired. Under such a collision, her eyes suddenly burst into Venus, and her body fell backwards uncontrollably.
"Old woman be careful. β
The man she had bumped into reached out and grabbed her by the shoulder, leading her closer to him.
Yu Mingzhi's confused mind cleared up the moment he heard this voice.
How could it be him?!(To be continued.) )
