Chapter 31: The Escape Plan
On the way back, Xia Yuxi didn't have much spirit, she was still thinking about the prince's words, a little true, a little false, if the nineteenth prince already knew his details, then he had not taken any action, was there a bigger conspiracy, did he want to put a long line to catch a big fish? So who is the big fish? Prince? But there's no need for this, the fight between uncle and nephew, why should she be cannon fodder...
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Feng saw that Xia Yuxi was wrong, and asked uneasily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Huh? It's okay, hehe, Brother Qiao, what kind of person do you say our master is, you also know that my memory is gone, and I don't know anything about my master, tell me about it, or I won't know where to make my master angry again. Xia Yuxi looked at Qiao Feng flatteringly and asked.
"Our nineteenth master is the god of war of our Dongluo, which of the people doesn't say that the nineteenth prince is good, Xiao Qi, why do you ask that, have you done something to make your master angry again?"
"No, you also know that I am loved by everyone, and flowers bloom, no, hehe, Brother Qiao, what about the nineteen princes on the battlefield, will they be careless of people's lives?"
"Ignoring human life? How can it be, the lord is the fairest, the nineteenth prince looks cold, in fact, he is very good to the soldiers, he has always rewarded and punished clearly, he will not wronged a good person, and it is not easy to let go of a bad person, just like General Xia a few days ago, you may not have heard of it, so I won't tell you. Qiao Feng stopped suddenly.
"Don't, it's all up, you're torturous like this, tell me, what's wrong with that General Xia?" Xia Yuxi hurriedly asked.
"That Xia Yuan, he used to be our lord's general Zuo, and the prince has always trusted him, but I didn't expect that this guy actually colluded with Zi Shengguo, and last time on the battlefield in Yangzhen, he almost surrounded and annihilated us, fortunately, our prince has a backhand, or we will all confess there, it's really hateful, but the prince is merciful, he only killed his whole family, and did not destroy his nine clans, it's really cheap for him, hum." Qiao Feng said indignantly.
Purple Shengguo? Purple Shengguo again?
"However, how do you know that General Xia did it? You also know that this kind of thing needs to be evidence-based, and it is not easy to collect evidence for such a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, are you sure you are not mistaken?" Xia Yuxi knows that in general, this kind of thing, whoever does it, will not be stupid to leave evidence easily.
"Evidence? The death of so many brothers is evidence, and General Xia himself admitted it, what more evidence do you need. Hey, Xiao Qi, why are you so concerned about this matter?" Qiao Feng looked at Xia Xiaoqi and asked.
"What interest? Just ask, that, let's go quickly. Xia Yuxi lowered the curtain of the car. But along the way, Xia Yuxi was thinking about the words of the prince and Qiao Feng, it seemed that she couldn't hide, she had to find a way to escape as soon as possible, while Luo Chenxuan hadn't tried anything, she had to escape, she couldn't believe the prince, a person who used her as a pawn, how could she dare to believe it, Luo Chenxuan's character was revenge, both of them were dangerous people, and they couldn't be provoked, but how to escape?
Xia Yuxi was absent-minded all the way, and when she finally sat down in the house, Ling Feng came to look for her, and she came back to her senses.
"Ling Feng, what did you just say?" Xia Yuxi didn't hear Ling Feng just say that he was going to some "pumpkin festival", what the hell was that?
"Xiao Qi, you slipped away, I said that the day after tomorrow is the Pumpkin Festival, let's go outside to find the Pumpkin King, okay." Ling Feng pouted and said a little aggrieved.
"The day after tomorrow? The day after tomorrow is.... On the ninth day of September, hey, it's the Double Ninth Festival, are you all called the Pumpkin Festival here? Interesting. Xia Yuxi smiled and nodded Ling Feng's little nose, to be honest, I like this little bun more and more, if I leave, I am really a little reluctant, hey-going outside, isn't it a good opportunity to escape?
Xia Yuxi suddenly had a plan, and agreed: "But will your uncle let us go?"
"Of course, what I say, my uncle will definitely agree." Ling Feng patted his chest, as if he was inviting merit.
Sending Ling Feng away, Xia Yuxi began to prepare, first asked for leave, and exchanged the silver ticket for silver, of course, there was not much, but there were forty or fifty taels, and I didn't know the price here, anyway, she had skills, so she didn't worry about starving to death if she went out.
rummaged through the cabinets, trying to find a few decent clothes, but there were no clothes that could be worn out: "Hey, the original owner is really pitiful, mixed up to this point." Xia Yuxi sighed and threw them aside.
"Gollum-" A small bag rolled out of the pile of torn clothes.
"What's that?" Xia Yuxi became interested, picked it up, opened it, and it turned out to be a snake-shaped ring, inlaid with a huge ruby, shining, like a snake's eyes, which made people shudder when they looked at it, and there was a jade bracelet, which was exquisitely clear, and it was a first-class product at first glance. The clothes are tattered, but this thing is good, "Yo, I really didn't expect that the original owner is also a local tyrant, hidden deeply, it is estimated that if these things are taken out and sold, they must be worth some silver, is the original owner stupid?" With these things, why should you be an undercover agent, cut - trapped by love. Xia Yuxi thought that the original owner was stupid and committed suicide for the prince, so he felt that it was not worth it, so he continued to flip through it, and found a piece of parchment, which was sketched and drawn, and he didn't understand it too well. However, she recognized this as a simple map, fortunately, she had seen Dongluo's map from Mu Fei before, and she recognized the names of several towns on it, otherwise she might not be able to understand it.
"It can't be a treasure map." Xia Yuxi was also shocked, it seems that the original owner is not so simple, by the way, she suddenly thought that this should have been given to her by her own nurse when she was looking for her for the last time, yes, it is this one, saying that if you can't get along, you can go to Zishengguo according to this picture, of course, not as a last resort. It's Zi Shengguo again, why go there?
Turning it over and turning it over, I looked at it, and I could barely make out that this should be a map outside Dongluo, with the routes of several small islands marked on it, huh. This should be Purple Katsukoku. By the way, didn't Qiao Feng say that the original owner's father was a collaborator with the enemy and treason, it was this Zi Shengguo who was connected, and it seems that he still has some connections with Zi Shengguo. But another arrow is drawn in the other direction, and a red circle is drawn there, where is this? It seems to be an island, but because of the age of the parchment scroll, the words on it are not clear.
Xia Yuxi couldn't understand it, and she couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't want to, put away the parchment, put the small bags in the medicine box, or study the escape route, what she was waiting for was the opportunity of the pumpkin festival, waiting for her to escape, as for whether to go to Zisheng or not, she didn't think about it, if she could be in Dongluo, why should she leave her hometown.
In the study, the nineteenth prince sat at the table.
"Lord, the prince seems to be really sick, I saw that his face was pale at that time, and he couldn't sit up." Qiao Feng knelt to the side and said.
"If you don't make it look real, how can it escape your eyes, you said that Xia Xiaoqi looked preoccupied when he came out of it?" The Nineteenth Prince still had no expression and said coldly.
"Yes, I saw that Xiao Qi was a little distracted, and asked her, she said nothing, by the way, she also asked me about the prince's personality..."Qiao Feng repeated the conversation between Xia Yuxi and him word for word, and lowered his head after speaking, waiting for the answer of the nineteenth prince.
One minute, two minutes ....
"Xia Yuan... Xia Xiaoqi... Interesting, you go down. The nineteenth prince smiled playfully, becoming more and more interesting.
"Yes." Qiao Feng took the order, and when he went out, he felt a handful of sweat, and when the prince didn't speak, it was terrible.
Finally waited for the pumpkin festival, Ling Feng came to find Xia Yuxi early in the morning, and the lord of Yunshang, Xia Yuxi deliberately wore a moon-white robe, this dress was her best one, her hair was tied high, although she was small, but because of her long handsomeness, she was also a young man.
"Hey, this little Qiyi is dressed up, not to mention it's quite handsome." Yunshang stepped forward to look at Xia Yuxi.
Xia Yuxi was not ashamed: "That's, who are we, let's go, let's pick a pumpkin king today, and we will definitely make a lot of money in the coming year." As soon as Xia Yuxi beckoned, the three of them left the palace.
Xia Yuxi kept an eye on the back, there were no secret guards, only a few palace guards and two attendants brought by Yunshang, it should be easy to deal with, of course she wouldn't be stupid to knock people down and then abscond in fear of crime, she wanted to take advantage of the chaos to avoid them, pretend to be lost, and then play with them and disappear, but where to find this mess?
Xia Yuxi was thinking about how to make a mess out, what didn't disappoint her was that in the market, a pumpkin war was being staged, the pumpkin festival is actually the Double Ninth Festival, but the customs of various places are different, on this day, everyone has to take out the largest pumpkin to compare, select the largest one, and then split it with a knife, take the seeds inside, and sprinkle it in the air, saying that the person who gets the pumpkin king seed will get good luck, and on this day, everyone can also steam the pumpkin, and then use it to smash people, It's a bit like the tomato wars in Spain.
Many people in the market are scrambling to throw pumpkins, messy, Xia Yuxi squeezed over, "Let's go save some luck." ”
"No, my cousin asked me to watch you, playing like this, it's easy to get hurt, Ling Feng, don't be as crazy as him." Yunshang immediately stopped.
What can I do?
"Ling Feng, do you want your mother to hurry up?" Xia Yuxi leaned over and asked.
"Hmm." Ling Feng nodded and looked at Xia Yuxi puzzled.
"That's it, this thing can make luck, let's save some luck for your mother, and your mother will be fine soon, can you go?" Xia Yuxi deceived the child.
"Well, I'm going, Aunt Yunshang, Xiao Qi and I have made luck for the concubine, you stay here and wait for us to come back." Ling Feng pulled Xia Yuxi and left.
"Hey, forget it, I'll go with you, or if I lose anyone, my cousin will hack me." Yunshang couldn't help it, Xia Yuxi smiled slyly, the three of them squeezed into the melee, at first everyone couldn't let go, after playing for a while, they completely integrated into it, Xia Yuxi looked at the two people who were playing very high, secretly retreated, glanced at it a few times, and found that no one paid attention to her, so she quietly squeezed out.
Glancing back at Ling Feng and Yunsheng: I'm sorry. His eyes were red, and then he turned his head and ran down the alley.
When she came out again, she was no longer the little doctor in the white robe of the month, but a woman in coarse cloth clothes, with a simple wooden hairpin on her head, and a red birthmark on her face, which covered her appearance, and headed towards the south gate with her head down.
