Chapter 22: Escape from the city at night
Xuanyue was poignant and cold, and Li Yingxia, who was only wearing a nightgown, was like bathing in ice water, and was cold from head to toe. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIt was a little difficult to stand still next to the grass in the north wind, and the sudden proposal of the colt made her mind confused, and she couldn't figure out where to go.
Calm, calm down.
Li Yingxia kept telling herself in her heart that she was looking for a way back from here, not because she didn't want to, but because she was also eagerly looking forward to it. It's just that...... Together with this ancient wealthy nobleman, it was difficult to accept it for a while. Although he has a good impression of him, he is limited to admiration and awe, at least for the time being, and has no other thoughts about him. If they leave together, what is it called? Friends in a group or ......
She's not stupid, and she knows how this ancient man feels for her like a mirror. Running away together in a friendly way, getting along with each other as friends? It can't be, it won't last, and one day other emotions will slowly develop. Think about the past, if it weren't for the unreasonable and impulsive thinking, she would not be separated from her own flesh and blood. If she encounters the emotions of attracting and comforting, if they can continue in the form of friendship, she will not be reduced to wandering in another world. Another bad relationship, or with an ancient person? She didn't dare to think too much about it, and moved lightly to get back to her room.
"No, if you miss today, I'm afraid it's hard to leave. Yingxia, are you sober? The trap has been dug on the princess's side, and you can go back now and step into it. The colt grabbed her arm and looked at her and said earnestly.
"I'm still a little unconvinced." Li Yingxia replied.
"Sister, you can trust the colt. Let's go, I've brought all your things, let's leave together. ā
The sudden voice startled Li Yingxia raised her head suddenly, and was surprised to find that Layue also appeared in front of her, bringing two packages, presumably one of which was hers, and it must have been the clothes prepared for her.
"Wax Moon? How did you? Li Yingxia asked suspiciously.
La Yue smiled and said: "This is all planned by the horses, and I pretended to be sick for a day to hide people's eyes." ā
Li Yingxia suddenly realized, looked at the colt in front of her, and realized for the first time the depth of his scheming hidden behind his empathy, and she suddenly felt that she had been kidnapped.
"Don't hesitate, let's go, otherwise the consequences will be worrying if you are discovered." The colt said worriedly.
Without allowing Li Yingxia to hesitate too much, Layue had already grabbed her arm, and Hengzi quickly opened the small corner door. In this way, Li Yingxia was forcibly taken away from the princess's mansion by them.
There was silence outside the walls, and the air was breathing with a leisurely freshness. Li Yingxia looked back at the red wall and blue tiles, and couldn't tell what it felt.
"Do you still want to go back? Now that you're out of the trap, don't fall into the trap. You see, the fast horse is ready. The colt said, gesturing not far away.
Li Yingxia looked at the situation, and sure enough, there were four tall horses, led by four strong young men, waiting there. Hengzi hurriedly took a few steps and rushed over, took out some silver taels from the package and handed them to the people. The colt followed, and when he came to a horse, he raised his foot and stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse. Layue almost dragged Li Yingxia over, but the high-headed horse Li Yingxia really didn't dare to approach, the fastest means of transportation she could control was probably an electric bicycle, where had she ever ridden a horse.
"Don't be afraid, as long as you hold the reins, it's a good horse that knows human nature." Hengzi comforted Li Yingxia, Layue helped her step on the stirrup, and Li Yingxia sat on the horseback for the first time. Hengzi and Layue also got on their horses, and the few people who led the horses collected the money and naturally left excitedly.
Li Yingxia didn't dare to open her eyes, and the fear made her sweat on that bleak night. Layue didn't seem to see Li Yingxia's nervousness, and urged her horse to get closer to Li Yingxia, and tied the package prepared for Li Yingxia to the side of the saddle. Li Yingxia's heart had already reached his throat, and he didn't know how to urge the horse to move forward. At that moment, she felt remorse again, and if she didn't leave, she might be able to comfort her homesickness with illusions.
"Bags, backpacks." Li Yingxia suddenly remembered the most important thing to her, and she looked at Layue and asked.
Layue smiled knowingly, looked at the package prepared for Li Yingxia and said, "It's inside." ā
Li Yingxia's heart quickly let go, she unconsciously lifted the knot of the package with her hand, and she vaguely saw the old backpack through the tiny gap. Suddenly, there was a flash of color, and it seemed that a strange power melted into her body, and she actually grabbed the reins and urged the horse nimbly and freely, and the horse obediently obeyed her command.
Unbelievable, this is the unbelievable thing that she has encountered again tonight, she can ride a horse.
"Okay, since Yingxia is no longer afraid of horseback riding, let's go quickly and rush to Brine Town before dawn." The colt looked at Hengzi and said excitedly.
Hengzi nodded, urging the horse forward with a shout in his mouth, he was a servant, of course, he had to go to the front to show protection. Layue Bingxue is smart and consciously walks last, if a pursuer arrives, she will be the first to be caught, so as to win time for the colt to escape. The horse hurriedly urged the horse to catch up with Li Yingxia and walked side by side with her. Li Yingxia didn't say much, she had realized that her sudden bravery came from that backpack, it was it that was guiding her in the dark, and she hoped that the road ahead would be miraculous again.
All the way through the streets and alleys, I quickly got out of the capital and turned into the forest road. There was no shadow of the pursuers behind, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The colt looked to the left and right, reined in the reins, and suggested that everyone pause as well, and several of them reined in their horses and looked at the colt in civilian clothes.
"We're out of the city, and you're not allowed to call me a colt anymore. Hengzi, Layue From now on, we are brothers and sisters with different surnames, and you call me brother. The colt said with a look of seriousness.
For the first time, Hengzi saw his master condescending like this, calling him a brother and brother, so he was naturally flattered. Layue also kept thanking her and thanked her master for her grace. Li Yingxia on the side looked at the colt suspiciously, not knowing what role he had arranged for himself.
The horse looked at her with a smile and said, "In the future, I will call him by his name, and I will be Guo Xin in front of you." ā
Li Yingxia shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate, right?" In fact, she didn't feel bad about calling him by his name, but she was afraid that the colt would have further plans in the future. What is the relationship between them?
The colt seemed to have guessed Li Yingxia's thoughts, and he suddenly put away his smile and turned serious and said, "If you don't do this, how can you hide people's eyes?" Not only that, but when it comes to the people, we must also have a convincing relationship in order to stop the tongue. ā
"What?" Li Yingxia asked in surprise.
"I will call myself a rich merchant, and you will claim to be my wife."
This sentence shook Li Yingxia's ears like a huge thunder, and it was even more difficult for her to accept it for a while.
Layue suddenly urged the horse to take a step closer and looked at Li Yingxia.
"Sister, you obey the colt...... No, it's my brother's arrangement. When it comes to the people, we must dress up as a family, and you will be our sister-in-law in the future. Layue said.
The concubine Guo Xin explained again: "Don't worry, I won't force you to make it difficult, the title in front of people is just false." After staying at the inn, you live with Layue, and I will never offend you. ā
Hearing this, Li Yingxia felt a little more down-to-earth, and nodded very far-fetched and smiled bitterly.
