Chapter 038: Sleeping in the Rough
I don't know how long the carriage traveled, and finally came to a stop in a lush wood. The night is getting late, and there are no other superfluous people to come out here except for Yin Mingyu's people and horses, the evening breeze and the starry sky overhead.
It wasn't Eleven who drove the carriage, and Ruan Liuyan guessed that he should be hiding in the crowd in other dark places. Sure enough, when night fell, all the people who had been hiding in the shadows along the way appeared, and Eleven was among them, but in the same way, he also wore a mask on his face. In addition to the "coachman" who drove the car, there were about ten other people who appeared.
After the settlement was determined, some of these people went to collect firewood to make a fire, some went to set up tents, and some led horses to feed, all of them were in order, and they were very respectful to Yin Mingyu, and it could be seen that Yin Mingyu disciplined them very faithfully and obediently.
A fire was lit in the clearing, and the others spontaneously dispersed to form a group, only Ruan Liuyan, Qiu Rong, and Yin Mingyu's fire no one approached. Yin Mingyu seemed to be very satisfied with his men, and used an iron rod to string the skinned and cleaned hares sent by his subordinates, and he skillfully turned and salted them in the fire, and time passed little by little, and soon the aroma of rabbit meat spread everywhere with the evening breeze.
In prison, Ruan Liuyan almost didn't get a drop of water, and when he was rescued later, he still put cleaning the wound first, Yin Mingyu wouldn't remember to prepare food for her, but no matter how sweet the snack was, how could she eat it at that time? Now that she smelled the slightest aroma of this rabbit meat, the hunger in her belly actually came all of a sudden, and she wanted to act.
"Goo~"
The hungry protest sounded, it sounded very obvious in this quiet night, here are all people who practice martial arts, and their hearing is very good, this snoring sound came out, Ruan Liuyan suddenly felt that the surroundings suddenly became quieter.
Yin Mingyu on the side couldn't help but smile, unloaded a rabbit leg with a dagger and handed it over. Ruan Liuyan took it and gave it to Qiu Rong, "This is for you." Qiu Rong was flattered and hurriedly waved his hand, "Master, how can this be?" Or do you use it first..."
"If you take it, you will take it." Forcibly stuffed this rabbit meat to Qiu Rong, Ruan Liuyan stretched out his hand to Yin Mingyu again, Yin Mingyu was supposed to cut off the fattest piece for her, Ruan Liuyan's unappreciative move was undoubtedly a slap in the face. Although dissatisfied with her actions, Yin Mingyu still cut another rabbit leg meat for her.
Qiu Rong ate silently, secretly analyzing the interaction between Yin Mingyu and Ruan Liuyan in his heart. She could see that the man was very accommodating, but the mother was very wary of him, every time the man approached, the mother would become very nervous, and even a little unconscious body stiffness, which showed that the mother subconsciously did not welcome the man's approach.
Qiu Rong was also curious about Ruan Liuyan's injuries, but she chose not to ask, because as a secret guard, the last thing she should have was curiosity, she only needed to follow her master's instructions.
After dinner, I went to the tent to rest, there were too many people, and only one of the tents was set up for the use of two women, and the others rested on the same place against the tree. Ruan Liuyan and Qiu Rong entered the tent and lay down, and after a while, the figures walking outside the tent from time to time gradually dispersed.
The two people in the tent whispered some inconsequential words, "Is it cold?" Ruan Liuyan asked Qiu Rong while grabbing her hand and writing the word "escape" on her palm. Qiu Rong willed, and in turn swiped lightly in the palm of her hand, "The slave is not cold." โ
At the right time, go to the toilet.
Silently reading out the words written by Qiu Rong in her heart, Ruan Liuyan understood what she meant, "It's okay if it's not cold, let's sleep." โ
The people outside the tent naturally heard what the woman inside said, and then the two of them had no other whispers, and Yin Mingyu, who had been staring at the two of them carefully, was a little relieved. He is not stupid, he still needs Ruan Liuyan to cooperate well on the way to the frontier to avoid adding chaos, because the pursuers don't know when they will chase, and he has to be prepared to deal with it.
Around midnight, Ruan Liuyan came out of the tent and said that she wanted to go to the toilet, and Qiu Rong also followed her out of the tent, there are only two women here, and it is impossible for Yin Mingyu to let a man accompany her. Therefore, he had to re-light a torch and hand it to Qiu Rong, so that the two of them could go to a hidden place to solve it. Before leaving, Yin Mingyu unexpectedly warned Qiu Rong that Qiu Rong would be martial, although he had now ordered a big hole around her body, if she had the heart to escape, I am afraid that there would be extraneous branches.
Soon farther and farther away from the place where the men were resting, the two of them circled behind a small hill on some high ground behind the woods. Ruan Liuyan didn't know martial arts, and he could only listen to Qiu Rong's arrangement, Qiu Rong rationally analyzed the shape and told her that it was not the time to escape yet, and she needed to wait patiently.
"So what do we do now?" She tried to discuss with Qiu Rong, Qiu Rong lowered her eyes as if she was contemplative, and then raised her head and pointed behind Ruan Liuyan and spoke, "Your Majesty, why are you here!" โ
"What?" Ruan Liuyan was stunned for a moment, and Qiu Rong took the opportunity to slash her neck on the back.
It was already the middle of the night when he woke up again, and Ruan Liuyan, who had had a nightmare, woke up suddenly and saw Yin Mingyu guarding beside him. Yin Mingyu's expression was faint at the moment, "How is it?" Didn't feel anything uncomfortable."
"Where's Qiu Rong, where is she?" Ruan Liuyan did not answer the rhetorical question.
Yin Mingyu sneered and said fiercely: "Where else can I be, send her to see the king of Hades!" โ
Yin Mingyu's words shocked people's hearts, Ruan Liuyan got up and rushed out of the tent, when she saw Qiu Rong who was tied to a tree not far away, she was relieved.
Seeing Yin Mingyu so angry, Qiu Rong must have done something that made him very angry, Ruan Liuyan analyzed in her heart, and when she was on the road again, she asked Yin Mingyu to leave Qiu Rong behind.
Yin Mingyu had this intention, and he found that he was actually negligent. Yan'er suddenly fainted last night, and this woman must have nothing to do with it, she must have done something to report to Dongfang Ke, maybe this woman has left a mark for Dongfang Ke to track them along the way-
As soon as he thought of this possibility, Yin Mingyu couldn't wait to kill Qiu Rong as soon as possible, what kind of slow revenge, that was his confusion! If you can't take away the smoke this time, Qiu Rong, I will definitely make you pay a painful price!
In the palace, since the news came out that the emperor was going to take the eldest princess to Wanzong Temple to recuperate for seven days, the Empress Dowager Zheng was restless. The poisoning of the eldest princess is no longer too threatening to the Yin family, according to her guess and analysis, the emperor must be in a hurry to pick up the Yin family from prison, and at this time she only needs to delay the emperor. When Li Zongxun confessed to the painting of Yin's obedience, it was a certainty, and the emperor would not be able to cover it up even if he wanted to.
But now the emperor didn't have the slightest intention to release the Yin family, but instead took the eldest princess to Wanzong Temple to recuperate and pray for blessings. The news that Li Zongxun handed over was that Yin gritted his teeth and refused to admit his guilt, and he hoped that Zheng could give him some more time, and within five days, he would definitely make Yin obediently admit his guilt and be detained.
Zheng began to disapprove of Dongfang Ke's departure from the palace, and when he later received news from Li Fushan, thinking that it would take so long, Dongfang Ke proposed to go to Wanzong Temple in front of him It was an opportunity, so he pretended to be embarrassed and responded. Dongfang Ke had already known a qiฤ insight into her heart, and cooperated with her acting in a pretend, and after a qiฤ was finalized, he set off on the second day.
As for Dongfang Rong, now that she has recovered her lively appearance, she doesn't fully know Dongfang Ke's plan, but when she thinks of being able to follow the imperial brother to the palace in a bright and bright way, her heart can't help but jump.
With a happy mood, Dongfang Rongli invited Su Changbai to accompany him. Su Changbai refused her, and he couldn't resist Dongfang Ke's verbal advice, but he still joined the team of 100 people who went to Wanzong Temple. This is a ridiculous trip, because the two real masters in this team have already broken off the shell of the golden cicada, and he wants to ask why Su Changbai knows, because one of the masters of the golden cicada is by his side.
At this time, Dongfang Rong was shuttling through the crowd in casual clothes, feeling fresh at the qiฤ things sold on both sides of the street, and the palace maid Liangyin followed her quickly, just afraid that she would be lost. Dongfang Rong, the "eldest lady", only knows what she likes, and Liangyin is inseparable, so the "heavy responsibility" of checking out and carrying things falls on Su Changbai and his little servant Heishi. Hei Shi was about to be unable to take it off in his hand, so he clamped his elbow and hung it around his neck, and at this time a bitter gourd face came out, and he wondered in his heart why his master was so calm.
Su Changbai, who was walking beside him, had already drifted into the distance, and that day he noticed that the man who robbed Ruan Liuyan knew her and had a good relationship, and he couldn't expose his martial arts, so he let this person take people away. Later, he entered the palace and first told the emperor about Li Fushan's lynching, and then told the whole story of Ruan Liuyan's robbery in prison.
Su Changbai thought that the emperor would send someone to search for him, but he didn't want to spread the news of Wanzong Temple the next day, so twists and turns, but it also made him understand Dongfang Ke's intentions, others said that the emperor loved the eldest princess, but he didn't know that the emperor wanted to bring people back without leaking the news that Ruan Liuyan was robbed of prison, and it can be seen from this that he took care of Ruan Liuyan's reputation. As for the emperor's special order to guard Princess Jiahe, he could only obey the order and send someone to find out the news.
Spacious official road, a team of people and horses in black clothes slaughtered, at the forefront was a handsome man riding a red flame BMW, his eyes stared straight into the distance, his thin lips were pursed, and his facial features were even more resolute in this blue sky. This person is Dongfang Ke, as soon as the team of Wanzong Temple came out of the palace, he hid his figure and left, and now he is sitting in the emperor's palace, but he is just a specially arranged stand-in.
After galloping all the way to rest, everyone turned over and dismounted. The horse was led away, Mo Xian handed over the water bag, Dongfang Ke took it in his hand, and his voice was cold and calm: "Are you sure it's this road, will there be a mistake?" Mo Xian's hand that took out the dry food paused, "Back to the Lord, the general direction should be right, I'm afraid that the person is cunning, if he goes around in circles, it may be difficult to trackโโ"
"Yes!" Dongfang Ke got up suddenly, and threw the water bag in his hand to the ground, "Then let people explore it again!" If you can't catch up with Yin, everyone doesn't have to come back to see me! โ
Silently picked up the water bag, Mo Xian was about to speak again, but something suddenly broke into his sight, and he pointed to a place in the distance with surprise, "Master, look what it is!" That's "sleeping together"! It's here to show us the way! โ
