The attendants mentioned the situation of the secret surveillance to Shen Tianao, and his expression was very indifferent, as if everything was expected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shen Tianao ordered loudly: "Keep an eye on them for me, they will definitely choose to go out of the city in the near future, and when the time comes, they will be all in one go." ”
His voice was very cold, and the cold light in his eyes made people tremble, and the attendants did not dare to look into his eyes, they knew that the master must be in an extremely bad mood at this time.
Steward Chen leaned into his ear and asked, "Lord Wang, what should the princess do?" ”
At the mention of Gu Qingcheng, Shen Tianao suddenly sneered: "I didn't expect her to make such a big move, running around with my child in her arms, and also injuring the person guarding the cuckoo, it's hard for me to imagine what kind of picture it is." He raised his eyes and continued to instruct the attendants, "Remember, don't hurt the princess, and bring her back alive for me." “
"Yes, lord." Everyone replied that they knew the weight of the princess in the eyes of the prince, so they naturally did not dare to act rashly.
This night was particularly difficult for Gu Tingcheng, she spent the whole night restless, her mind was full of things about escaping from Puyang City, as long as she could escape from Puyang City, it would be a different situation in the future, if she met Long Yuting again, what would happen?
Shopkeeper Du prepared a carriage to gather the people who evacuated Puyang City, in addition to Du Juan and Gu Tingcheng, there were two or three people, Shopkeeper Du said to Gu Tingcheng: "Princess, I'm sorry, because the time is urgent, I can only let you squeeze them for the time being." ”
"No problem." Gu Tingcheng looked at the other two and said, "Let's leave early, staying in Puyang City for one more day is more dangerous for us." ”
Everyone was ready to leave, and the shopkeeper Du also closed Feng Yazhai tightly, and the regent had instructed him to take Gu Chengcheng out of Puyang City, and now it was finally the most critical moment.
The group of them all pretended to be a family of people who were going out, and Gu Qingcheng sat in the innermost part of these people, she was veiled, pretending to be seriously ill.
When the carriage drove to the gate of the city, it was the most tense moment, and the shopkeeper Du took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the guards guarding the city, and he said with a smile: "I hope that the military master will be convenient." ”
The soldier swept into the carriage lightly, he pointed to Gu Qingcheng's face and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Gu Qingcheng lowered her head, and the gaze cast by the soldier made her extremely uncomfortable, she pretended to be hoarse and said: "Master Jun, I am seriously ill, and I have many abscesses on my face, and I can't show people in my face, so I have to make this decision. ”
Shopkeeper Du hurriedly cooperated on the side and said: "This military master, the doctor said that my little girl needs to recuperate, so I took her back to her hometown." ”
The soldiers defending the city had already taken the silver taels, and when they said this, they didn't bother to care, so he checked the silver taels in his hand and said, "Let's go." ”
The curtain of the carriage was lowered, Gu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the carriage continued to run forward until she saw Puyang City gradually disappearing from sight, and her heart finally settled down.
"Princess, we're out of town." The look on Du Juan's face was very excited, she took off the veil for Gu Qingcheng and said, "Princess, you don't have to wear this thing anymore, no one will come to check when you go out of the city gate." ”
Gu Qingcheng had a faint smile on her face, she never thought that she would leave this place suddenly, although Shen Tianao treated her well on the whole, she was not a person on the same road after all, and she had no ending with him.
"I don't have to go back to Anqing Wangfu in the future." She said slowly, but her tone was a little complicated.
Not long after the carriage walked out of the city gate, more than a dozen horses galloped to the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city saw that the king of Anqing rode a white horse and galloped, and everyone was dumbfounded, thinking how the prince's stupid illness suddenly improved.
Shen Tianao pointed to the front with an expressionless face and said, "There was a brown carriage passing by here just now. ”
When the soldiers heard this, they broke out in a cold sweat, the carriage didn't look much abnormal, but they didn't know why King Anqing mentioned this matter alone, they immediately felt that the situation was wrong, but how dare they hide it when the prince asked, and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the prince, the carriage just passed by here, and I saw them driving in the direction of the east." ”
Shen Tian proudly raised the horsewhip in his hand and walked away, the soldiers looked at each other, guessing the suspicious place of the carriage, and suddenly a soldier whispered: "Could it be that the woman wearing the veil has a problem?" ”
"Well, I thought she was suspicious." The other one seconded, "I hope the prince doesn't blame us, otherwise this crime will be serious." ”
The carriage drove into a forest, and soon Gu Qingcheng heard the sound of dense horses' hooves, she felt a little uncomfortable, lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that more than a dozen fast horses were almost about to catch up, and the person in front was Shen Tianao.
"He's here, King Anqing is here." Gu Qingcheng nervously held Du Juan's hand, "What should we do, he brought a lot of people, but we are only a few people, and we can't fight hard." ”
Shopkeeper Du pulled out the sword on his body, and said with a solemn face: "You go down with me to stop King Anqing, and the princess and the cuckoo girl will leave first." ”
"Nope." Gu Qingcheng grabbed the scabbard of the shopkeeper Du, and she said loudly, "Let me go down, the person King Anqing is looking for is me, and I will delay his time." ”
"Princess, don't go down." Shopkeeper Du sighed and said, "The purpose of King Anqing's visit this time is not to target you alone, maybe he has been eyeing Feng Yazhai for a long time, but he has not taken action, maybe he is just waiting for this moment to wipe out the rest of us." ”
After the shopkeeper Du finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage, and the other two people in the carriage also jumped down, Gu Tingcheng's eyes were sour, according to the current situation, they got out of the carriage like this, it was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and how long could they drag it out.
She couldn't help but look out of the car curtain, and saw Shen Tianao and the others surrounding the shopkeeper Du, and the sword of Qi Brushing surrounded the three of them at once, although they fought hard, but where could they beat everyone, one of them died under the sword in an instant, and the shopkeeper Du roared angrily at Shen Tianao.
"If you want to kill, you can dispose of it, as long as the old man has a breath, he can't let you get close to that carriage."
Shen Tianao's sword was pressed against his neck, and he said coldly: "What kind of thing are you, dare to be so presumptuous in front of this king, but I still have a cheap life for you." ”
With a wave of his hand, the guards snatched the sword from the hand of the shopkeeper Du, and several people pressed the shopkeeper Du and the remaining person tightly to the ground.
"Princess, I'm here." Shen Tianao looked at the carriage in front of him and showed a cold smile. (To be continued.) )
