Chapter 11: Escape
Next.
Princess Jincheng set off from the palace early in the morning with a large number of entourages, causing people to talk about it. However, the focus was on Anya, and naturally no one paid attention to the masked Lingyun hidden in a group of guards.
"Yo, Her Royal Highness the princess is here!" the teahouse owner greeted him with a flattering face, "The private room on the top floor you want has been prepared, and as you order, the entire top floor has been emptied, and no one will disturb you." β
"That's fine. Anya nodded, "This is a bounty for you." β
"It is the duty of the grass people to do things for Her Royal Highness the Princess, how dare you ask for a reward in vain?" the teahouse owner smiled and narrowed his eyes into a fold, and bent down to respectfully accept the heavy piece of gold.
"Let's go, let's go up. Anya didn't know who she was saying this to.
Pantry on the top floor.
Anya and Ling Yun sat in a window position, relatively speechless.
"I heard that the green tea in this teahouse is a must in Beijing, don't you want to taste it?"
Ling Yun didn't even raise his head, staring blankly at the floor.
Anya had to take a sip of tea alone to hide her embarrassment.
There was another long silence.
"Announcing His Majesty's holy decree-" The loud voice of the inner servant came from outside the window, Ling Yun subconsciously glanced out of the window, and his pupils contracted violently!
"Today, there is the Ling clan, secretly hiding heavy troops, plotting against them, and most of them have been wiped out by our army......" The voice of the inner servant was like thunder, and every sound hit Ling Yun's heart hard.
Ling Yun's eyes erupted with fire, and he wanted to rush down immediately. In fact, if he hadn't been restrained by Anya, he would have jumped out of the window three seconds ago.
Normally, with Ling Yun's speed and strength, ten Anya couldn't pull him, but Ling Yun couldn't exert his strength as if he had been drained of his whole body.
"What did you do to me?" Ling Yun, who was anxious and angry, reacted instantly.
Anya ignored him, closed the window as fast as she could, and pasted a talisman to the window.
"In this life, the remnants of the Ling clan are captured, and in accordance with His Majesty's holy decree, the execution ground will be set up in Tianwumen, and the head of the ...... will be displayed to the public" Even if the window was closed, the voice of the internal guard came intermittently.
"Give me the antidote!" Ling Yun's eyes were red.
"Lingyun, calm down!"
"What are you kidding? That's my relative, the relative who has been with me for sixteen years! How can I calm down!" Ling Yun yelled at Anya hysterically.
"And then? What can you do?! Do you know how many Praetorian Guards there are out there? Do you have any meaning in the past now except to die with your relatives?!"
"Bastard!!" Ling Yun used all his strength to stand up and stumbled downstairs.
But the moment he touched the door, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the door, bounced Ling Yunsheng back.
Ling Yun fell heavily to the ground. But he didn't admit defeat, he struggled to get up again.
Anya couldn't stand it anymore, so she rushed over and gave him a heavy slap:
"Ling Yun! You sober up to this princess! Do you know what it means for you to rush down now?! Your grandfather took the life of the whole clan to save you alone, your life is not yours alone, and you are carrying the hope of the entire Ling family! Do you plan to repay them like this? Run to death yourself?!"
Ling Yun lay motionless on the ground. Obviously he didn't have much strength left, but his nails were already deeply embedded in the palms of his hands, and the red blood slid down his fingers and fell to the ground.
"If you're a man, you should cheer up and avenge those Ling clan people who gave their lives for you!
"Don't say it!" Ling Yun slammed his fist to the ground.
With a "bang", the spirit rune burst in response, and a shallow pit was smashed into the floor.
The barrier was shattered.
Anya's face was pale, and she stared at Ling Yun tightly, for fear that he would do something stupid, but Ling Yun remained motionless.
The room was silent, and only if you listened closely, you could hear the slightest sobbing.
Outside the window, seven human heads fell to the ground with a bang.
In the evening of the same day.
The soldiers at the gates yawned idly. The emperor's sudden edict to replenish the palace guards did disrupt the deployment of the army in the capital, and the army in the capital itself had just experienced a major battle, which exacerbated the situation of manpower tension, otherwise the defense of the city gate would not be so lax. This group of soldiers is completely incomparable with the group that pursued Song Yan, and at first glance they are the old, weak, sick and disabled who have taken a back seat.
"Phewβ" A sound of horses' hooves sounded. The exit token on the coachman's waist sparkled.
"Open the door!" The soldiers stationed there didn't even bother to look at it, and just waved their hands to let them go.
"Wait!" said a man on horseback.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, where are you going, why are you in such a hurry?" the visitor walked directly in front of the convoy.
"Mo Feng, do you want to intervene when Princess Ben returns to China?" Anya's displeased voice came from the carriage.
"I don't dare, but the princess should at least see His Majesty before returning home, otherwise I'm afraid it will be rude. β
"Yesterday, the princess has already written a recital, the matter is urgent, and my father urgently summoned me to return to China, I think Your Majesty can fully understand. β
"Her Royal Highness the princess has a long way to return to China, and she is passing through Yuezhou, where the public security is very poor, why don't you let the princess escort her to ensure that nothing goes wrong, how about it?"
"This princess has her own master escort, which round will get your three-legged cat?" Anya was completely impatient, "The coachman will open the way!
Anya's coachman really crashed into it, forcing Mo Feng to dodge to the side.
Mo Feng turned his direction and stared at the carriage that had left with an unkind gaze. Anya has lived in Longze for so long and has no intention of leaving, but she chose to leave at this time, and she left in such a hurry, it is difficult not to make people suspicious.
"Lingyun, Lingyun...... You're a big scourge. Mo Feng's eyes shone fiercely.
