Chapter 9: On the Escape
After Qing Yao left the eldest lady and her party, there were two more male entourages behind her. She had incense on the ancient temple www.biquge.info she had probably seen the layout, and then turned around and walked towards the flat stone platform before.
This stone platform covers an area of about several hundred square meters, and there are scattered shops around it, so there are many people who come and go, and there are not a few people who come to set up stalls to do business.
Qing Yao glanced at the surrounding environment, and said with a faint expression, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”
"Yes. ”
The rest of the people naturally did not object, and after answering in a deep voice, they followed closely on the left and right.
Qing Yao deliberately squeezed into the crowd and walked back and forth in the crowd full of women.
Taking advantage of the fact that the two attendants had not noticed her, Xifeng quickly left the group.
When the entourage walked out of the crowd, they found that there was a maid ring missing from the third lady's side. However, thinking that his goal was to keep an eye on the third lady, he didn't think much about it and followed closely again.
Qing Yao glanced at the two of them without a trace, and naturally looked at each other's expressions in her eyes. In this regard, she narrowed her eyes slightly and continued to move forward indifferently.
When the surrounding crowd began to leave the ancient temple one after another, Xifeng also returned to the team at this moment.
"Miss, I'm back......"
Xifeng walked quickly to her side, and bowed slightly.
"Well, let's go back. Qing Yao bowed slightly, and turned to leave calmly.
The two didn't seem to have any communication, but in fact, the moment they looked at each other, they had already exchanged information.
When the few people returned to the temporary house, Xifeng quickly closed the door and explained in detail the news he had heard before.
Hearing this, Qing Yao pondered slightly for a moment and then explained: "Well done, you go and prepare the horses tomorrow, and leave together tomorrow night." ”
She knew that she would have to return early the day after tomorrow, and that tomorrow night would be her last chance.
"Yes. ”
In the response of the wind, the matter came to an end for the time being.
Early the next morning, the people of the Du family gathered and went to the courtyard of Mrs. Du. After being persuaded to return again, they began to disperse.
Qing Yao, as yesterday, took the two entourages and began to walk seemingly aimlessly, and halfway through, she let Xifeng leave the team to run errands.
When night crept on, the few people in the room who were waiting for midnight to come gradually tensed their nerves.
After the sky outside completely darkened, Qing Yao estimated that the hour was almost there, and explained to Lianyue in a deep voice: "Lianyue, you go out and see if anyone is guarding." ”
She wasn't sure if there would be a guard outside, and if the plan went wrong, it would be difficult to leave.
After receiving the order, Liyue nodded her head and replied, "Okay, I'll go now." ”
"Squeak......
The sound of the door opening was very abrupt in this quiet night, and it naturally led to the two people guarding outside the house. Then, the sound of conversation came from outside the house.
"You two haven't rested yet, huh?"
"No, the eldest lady asked our brothers to protect the safety of the young lady. ”
"That's a lot of hard work, you two. ”
"It's our business, you ......"
Qing Yao listened to the conversation outside the house, lowered her eyes and thought: "It seems that we have to change our strategy......"
After a short while, Retsuki returned to the house and shook her head at the two of them, signaling that someone was guarding and couldn't get out.
Qing Yao frowned slightly and muttered for a moment, then instructed Xiyue on the side, "You and I will change our clothes." ”
When Lianyue heard this, she called out suspiciously: "Miss, you?"
Xifeng didn't ask the reason, and began to exchange clothes with the young lady in silence.
Qing Yao didn't rush to explain the reason, but after changing her clothes, she slowly informed: "Lianyue accompanied me out for a while, and said that I, the 'Xifeng', was sick and wanted to see a doctor." And Xifeng stayed here for the time being, resting in the house instead of me. ”
"Yes. ”
When he heard this, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he bowed his head and answered.
Liyue watched the interaction between the two, and asked a little anxiously: "Miss, we are leaving, isn't Sister Xifeng going to be ...... by the eldest lady?"
"Mercy Moon!" Pity Wind interrupted Mercy Moon's words about to continue with a slightly stern expression, and then said calmly: "Miss arranged it this way, naturally she has her reasons, and we will just do it." ”
Seeing the two of them react like this, Qing Yao sighed lightly in her heart and continued to explain: "After we leave, you have to find a way to leave by taking advantage of the chaos, and then go to the foot of the mountain to meet......"
Xifeng raised his eyes and saw the concern in his young lady's eyes, and smiled with relief.
"Miss, don't worry, I know what to do. ”
"That's good. Qing Yao nodded, took a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and slowly walked out of the door with Liyue.
"Da Da Da ......"
When the two of them had only walked a few steps away, the man who was waiting outside the house walked briskly.
"Where are you going?"
Lianyue grabbed the arm of the person next to her with some nervousness, and explained softly to the person who asked, "Sister Xifeng is sick, we have to go down to see the doctor." ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
At this time, Qing Yao also covered her mouth and coughed lightly.
"Oh, let's go, then. In this dark night, the man couldn't see the expressions of the two people clearly, and he couldn't see the tension on Liyue's face and the true face of "cherishing the wind" on the side. Therefore, after a brief explanation, he motioned for the two to leave quickly.
Qing Yao also took into account that she couldn't see clearly in the night, so she would use such a risky method.
After smoothly leaving the sight of the two, Qing Yao's pace of departure gradually accelerated.
After leaving the ancient temple in a hurry, the two took out the prepared baggage from the grass on the side, lit the lantern and started to hurry.
As the two of them walked down the long stone staircase, a figure with a lantern appeared in their sight from far and near.
"Miss, what now, I ......"
After seeing the figure that appeared, Liyue felt a panic in her heart for no reason. At this moment, she has always been in a state of fear, for fear of being discovered by the Du family.
Seeing her like this, Qing Yao patted her hand comfortingly, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry." ”
She thought that it was getting late at the moment, and the chance of meeting the Du family should be basically gone, so she didn't care much.
After listening to her young lady's persuasion, Liyue pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled shyly.
"Let's go. ”
Qing Yao patted the shoulder of the person beside her and walked forward again.
Before the two groups of people who went up and down the mountain met, they subconsciously avoided each other.
Just as Qing Yao passed by the person who went up the mountain, Lian Yue on the side pulled her arm sharply and sped up the pace of progress.
"What's wrong?"
Qing Yao was pulled and staggered, shook the other party's arm lightly, and asked suspiciously.
At this time, the person who was supposed to go up the mountain suddenly turned his head to look at them, and shouted in surprise: "Third Miss!"
After Qing Yao heard that shout, she "groaned" in her heart and secretly screamed badly.
