Chapter 257: Escape
"Red Dragon, let us go. The princess said.
"Yes, the princess naturally wants to go wherever she wants, she can go there, and the lower officials naturally don't dare to stop her. The red dragon said.
The princess was overjoyed, thinking that she had not mistaken the red dragon, and he was still on her side, but what the red dragon was going to say next disappointed the princess.
The red dragon paused and said, "It's just that the lower official has received an order to capture a small phantom beast master named Wu Yi. I also hope that the princess will not be embarrassed. With that, the red dragon began to come over and prepare to inspect the carriage.
"You dare. Princess Yuyan roared. The red dragon frowned but still didn't stop his movements, he first checked the lower half of the carriage, and then prepared to inspect the inside of the carriage.
The red dragon knew that this time, I was afraid that the princess would be offended to death, but the top gave a death order, even if it was the emperor's carriage, they had to check it, otherwise it would be a capital crime. Otherwise, how could he have been friends with the princess for many years, and he would have to risk death to check. At the end of the day, names are more important than certain friendships.
Although he did not know what happened after this order, judging from his experience as an errand boy in the palace for many years, it must have involved intricate relationships. The only thing he can do is to do his job well, and not to have criticizing remarks in the future, so that he can survive in the imperial capital in peace.
The princess knew that she couldn't stop it, otherwise she would have to fight against the lawmakers of the imperial capital, which was no joke, but Princess Yuyan would not let others open her curtain, so she took the initiative to open the curtain and walked out of it.
"Okay, I've come out on my own, you go in and check, it's best to find out, if you can't find out, I'll go to my father to ask you for the guilt." ”
Although the princess said these words with a smile, her words were direct, just some naked threatening words. The red dragon smiled bitterly, this errand is like this, if it is not done well, it will offend the people at both ends. However, he never thought that he should not be offended at both ends.
In this regard, he has already figured out that whoever has a big official position, he will be on whose side, so he can't say that it's all right, but at least it won't be wrong.
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that he was able to go from a small commoner to the current position of the inspector of the imperial city, and has met many dignitaries, including Princess Yuyan.
Since the princess took the initiative to give up her position and let him check, he did not shirk and went into the carriage to search, but still found nothing.
He immediately got out of the carriage and apologized to the princess first, but Princess Yuyan didn't pay attention to it at all, all she was thinking about now was hoping that Wu Yi had run out of the hole in the other direction.
Even if the princess ignores him, but the red dragon's duties are not over yet, everything that should be said has already been said, and if you say anything more, it will be pestering, and there is no point in saying too much. He's going to report right away. So he rode his phantom beast red-blooded horse and ran the way he came.
......
On the other hand, Wu Yi did not go out with the princess's carriage, but went to a secret passage in the princess's mansion.
The capital was too big, and it was impossible for the secret passage to be built all the way from the ground to the outside of the city, and in the dry well of a small courtyard two blocks away from the princess's mansion, Wu Yi drilled out.
Wu Yi knew that he was in danger, the enemy was in the dark, but he was in the light, and it was very unfavorable for him to do so, so Wu Yi also planned to hide in the dark.
In this situation, Wu Yi only felt that he was hiding, but he was not completely hidden in the dark. In other words, he is still not safe enough.
Since so many people can be mobilized outside the princess's mansion, Wu Yi believes that if he wants to arrest himself, there should be not just one person, but several people, since there are more people, it is natural that he will not return so neatly when the layout is made, and there will definitely be omissions, as long as he masters these places, he will definitely be able to escape.
The delay was extreme, that is, to determine his location immediately, and find a way to escape, so Wu Yi took out the map that the princess gave to the capital city, and recalled the route he had passed from his mind, and rehearsed it in his mind.
Although Wu Yi had never memorized maps like this, his memory was not too bad, and this was a life-and-death moment, which gave birth to his potential even more, making him anxious about the drawings more deeply, and it didn't take long for him to feel that he had memorized most of the maps.
At the same time, after confirming that it was correct, he hid the drawings, and when he was being chased and killed, it was impossible to find his way while running for his life, which was why he had to write down the map of the capital as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came to mind outside the hut where Wu Yi was, and the sound was far and near, and it stopped when he came to Wu Yi's house, but what made Wu Yi feel a little relieved was that there was only one person who came here.
"Wu Yi, are you inside?" said a hoarse voice cautiously.
Hearing this voice, Wu Yi was even more happy, because it was the voice of the little old man, Wu Yi didn't think much about it, opened the door and pulled the little old man into the house.
Wu Yi was surprised and delighted, and immediately took the little old man's hand and asked, "Who are the people outside, why are you chasing me?"
The little old man didn't answer Wu Yi's question, but pulled Wu Yi around and checked whether Wu Yi's body was injured before he said: "I didn't expect that so long has passed, as soon as you come back, you will expose yourself, there are many people who want to arrest you and kill you, but now is not the time to talk about this, the top priority now is to think about how to escape." ”
"Only after you have escaped will you be able to care about what has happened today, and if you can't escape, you will not be able to care about the people who are going to take you and kill you today. ”
Wu Yi said: "Okay, let's discuss how to escape now." ”
"How to escape, you just need to follow me, if you get out of the city, if you encounter any danger and get separated, you go to Gray Ghost City, which is the city on the eastern border of the Blood Southern Empire, where the fish and dragons are mixed is a three-way zone, go there, you find a person named Wu Dalang, he will help you, take this." ”
While speaking, the little old man gave Wu Yi a jade pendant, which was a black jade pendant with a ghost head carved with a big mouth and fangs.
When Wu Yi heard the little old man say this, he had to be extremely dangerous, and immediately said, "What about you?"
"Don't worry, if you escape, I'll go back to you naturally. As he spoke, the little old man pointed to a pendant around Wu Yi's neck. This pendant is gray-white, and it looks no different from the goose warm stone, but Wu Yi knows that the little old man must have found himself through this pendant.
Although the little old man usually doesn't talk much, he can always help himself when it is critical, which also makes Wu Yi very relieved, and he has a feeling that he can rely on and rely on.
"Let's go, let's get out of the way tonight. ”
Wu Yi nodded, and the two of them, one old and one young, went out and disappeared into the darkness.
