Chapter 222: Running in the Night (Part II)
Wang Baizhou sat on the horse, and led two fast horses in his hands, as soon as he saw them approaching, he smashed the torch, he glanced at the flowing clouds behind Lu Wanwan, and didn't say anything, just looked at Lu Wanwan and said: "Madam, follow me carefully, so as not to alarm the beast." With that, he slapped his horse ahead and galloped out.
Lu Wanwan chased after him with only that vague shadow.
Wang Baizhou had already formulated a detailed route yesterday, and he followed this route out of the paddock, and then went all the way south, and he would arrive at the official road.
The paddock covers an extremely wide area, first the sparse trees, the front is getting deeper and deeper, and the trees are becoming more and more prosperous, Lu Wanwan and the two of them did not dare to relax for a moment, staring closely at the figure in front of them. The number of times Liuyun rode a horse in the back was pitiful, and he exclaimed from time to time along the way, but probably wanted to completely figure out what happened to Zheng Houzhong, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Taking advantage of the night, at this time at the city gate a man and a horse are quickly entering the city, although the city gate has long been closed at this time, but the guards guarding the city saw the people, they didn't even dare to ask more, and hurriedly opened the city gate and welcomed the people in.
Meng Feiyang galloped all the way without stopping, and soon arrived at the gate of Zheng's mansion, the black clothes on his body were already stained with a lot of dust, and he looked a little wolf, completely refreshed as usual, but his spirit seemed to be good, turned over and got off the horse, and walked towards the mansion quickly.
Meng Feiyang arrived at Lu Wanwan's bedroom, the maids and maids were all standing respectfully by the door, and there was already cold food on the table, he looked around the room and asked, "What about Madame?" ā
A maid lowered her head and replied, "Madame has taken Aunt Liuyun to see Madame Li." ā
Meng Fei raised his eyebrows and frowned, and asked the maid again, "How long has Madame been gone?" ā
The maid said, "About half an hour." ā
Meng Feiyang's brows suddenly tightened, he didn't ask anything more, turned around and walked out of the door quickly.
Meng Feiyang went to the study again, but he didn't find the shadow owl left here, but he quickly found the mark left by the shadow owl for him, and Meng Feiyang got on the horse again and chased all the way along the mark.
Meng Feiyang chased to the gate of the paddock and saw the shadow owl standing outside the paddock. There was no expression on his face, he just asked very calmly, "Where are the people?" ā
"Paddock...... It's gone. The Shadow Owl replied with his head down, cold sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on people at all times, why didn't you do it?" Meng Feiyang continued to ask.
"It's a dereliction of duty on the part of a subordinate!" The Shadow Owl is really suffering at this time. How could he have thought that such a weak woman as Lu Wanwan would dare to run away at night, and when he found out, it would be too late to catch up.
Meng Feiyang pursed his lips and did not speak, and after a while, he rode his horse and prepared to enter the siege.
"Master must not take any chances. Let's send someone to find it again. The shadow owl hurriedly stepped forward to stop Meng Feiyang and said.
Meng Feiyang had a calm face and did not say a word, and the person had already entered the paddock.
The shadow owl still stubbornly blocked Meng Feiyang's expression, and said anxiously: "Master, Xiangjun girls, they will come back tomorrow, you should focus on the overall situation!" ā
Meng Feiyang pursed his lips, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, Lu Wanwan deliberately calculated the right time to leave.
The shadow owl had already taken the first step forward, pulled the reins and said, "Don't worry, master, your subordinates will take someone to find Madame." ā
"Search in the direction of the official road, the faster the better." Meng Feiyang instructed lightly with the shadow owl. His expression was dark and uncertain, like a mountain rain was about to come. He stood still, his fingers slightly chilling in the night wind, thinking that she had accepted the status quo, but he didn't expect her to leave......
The Shadow Owl brought a full 3,000 dark guards, all of them on fast horses and light horses, and went straight to the direction of the official road out of the paddock, and the speed was amazing.
Lu Wanwan actually knew that Meng Feiyang had sent someone to spy on her, and Meng Feiyang dared to relax her vigilance against her, also because she was confident that she would be able to catch up even if she ran away. Her only advantage now is just that she has a helper like Wang Baizhou.
So not long after she got out of the paddock, she mentioned that Wang Baizhou was rerouted, and she did not take the official road, but went directly to a small road. Go to the four mountains behind Qicheng.
Hurried one after another, except for eating something hastily, there was no rest overnight, Lu Wanwan's face was pale and haggard, Wang Baizhou couldn't bear it when he saw it, so he asked yƬ to rest for a while before going on the road.
Lu Wanwan flatly refused. Insist on resting again when you get to the four mountains. Wang Baizhou had no choice but to agree, and said with a sneer: "Wanwan, you are really exactly the same as Mr., the same stubbornness." ā
There was no trace of relaxation on Lu Wanwan's face, as long as she thought that Meng Feiyang's people would catch up at any time, her nerves were always tense.
By dawn, they finally arrived at Sishan, when the city gate had just opened, they immediately entered the city, Wang Baizhou quickly found a carriage dealership, bought a luxurious carriage, Lu Wanwan was helped into the cushioned carriage, and Liuyun, who had been speechless, was also relieved.
Wang Baizhou bought a few slaves again, a group of five or six people, male servants and female slaves, which made Lu Wanwan look like a rich businessman or a dignitary from somewhere. Sishan is a small town, the people are simple, and they don't dare to provoke, there is not much turmoil along the way, and they go up the official road very smoothly and slowly leave Shuchuan.
Lu Wanwan was already extremely sleepy at this time, even though the carriage was moving fast, she still fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already dark, and there was a sound of talking outside the car, Lu Wan couldn't tell where he was at night, and it took a while to remember that he had run out, and quickly sat up.
Leaning out to see, the carriage was parked in the wilderness, the maids were surrounding a small fire, and Wang Baizhou took the male servants to patrol in the distance.
Liuyun was eating, his expression was much better than before, and when he saw that Lu Wan woke up late, he hurriedly wiped his hands and brought the food over: "Madame is awake, you have slept for two days and two nights." ā
"So long?" Hearing her say this, Lu Wanwan felt really hungry, and quickly took something to eat.
After eating enough, Lu Wanwan took a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and got out of the car.
Wang Baizhou, who was not far away, had already seen Lu Wanwan, and at this time he also stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Have you rested?" ā
Lu Wanwan nodded, smiled gratefully at him, and said, "Let Brother Wang, you worry." After looking at the surrounding scenery, he asked again, "We've been walking for so long, we should be about to get out of Shuchuan, right?" ā
Wang Baizhou nodded and replied: "By tomorrow night, we should be able to leave the Shuchuan realm." ā
Lu Wanwan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, before he saluted Wang Baizhoufu and said, "Then Brother Wang will send me to the Shuchuan realm, and the next road, I can do it myself in the evening." ā
Wang Baizhou's face froze. Although I knew that this would be the case, I was still very reluctant in my heart, and couldn't help but say, "Can't you let me accompany you?" ā
Lu Wanwan lowered his head and did not look at Wang Baizhou. He only said calmly: "Brother Wang, didn't we make an appointment a long time ago, the man's words are out, and the horses are difficult to chase, do you want to finish talking now?" ā
Wang Baizhou was suddenly dumbfounded. I couldn't say what I wanted to say anymore, so I could only smile bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll send you to the Shuchuan realm, and we'll ...... Don't overdo it. ā
"Brother Wang, take care, you must remember, don't go back to Qicheng so quickly, it's not too late to hide outside for a month and a half and then go back." The expression on Lu Wanwan's face was still faint, and she persuaded softly.
"Don't worry, I know." Wang Baizhou listened to Lu Wanwan's words, and there was a smile on his face again. Nodding his head.
Liuyun stood not far from them, watching the two of them talk, although he didn't hear them say anything, the expression on his face was still full of doubt.
After Lu Wanwan finished talking to Wang Baizhou, she walked towards Liuyun, she stopped in front of her, and said lightly: "I know you have a lot to ask me, come into the car with me." ā
Liuyun nodded, didn't make a sound, and followed Lu Wan into the carriage at night.
"Madam......" Liuyun got into the carriage and called Lu Wan first. When he called out, he felt that this was not a good name, so he fell silent again.
"You can call me sir." Lu Wanwan glanced at Liuyun and said slowly.
"Sir......" Liuyun muttered again, and then his eyes suddenly widened. He lost his voice and said, "You are Mr. Lu!" ā
Lu Wanwan felt that Liuyun was still quite smart, but she just asked her to change her name, and she guessed it.
"How could it be ......" Liuyun obviously still didn't believe it, and looked at Lu Wanwan in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
"I can't tell you the reason for this for a while. You just need to know that the 'general' in the Zheng Mansion is no longer the general you knew, and you only have a dead end when you go back, if you don't want to die, just follow me obediently, haven't you done a good job these days. Lu Wanwan looked at Liuyun and said calmly.
Liuyun bit her lip, her face turned a little pale, she took a few deep breaths before she asked in a trembling voice, "That is the real general, he is ...... now?" Now ......"
"You're dead, don't think about revenge, that man...... It's not that you can afford to mess with it, it's not easy for you to pick up a life. Although Lu Wanwan said this a little cold-blooded, it was all for the sake of Liuyun.
Liuyun's face suddenly turned even whiter, her lower lip was almost bitten and bleeding, and after a long time, she suddenly knelt down, slammed her head on the floor, choked and said: "Sir, I am not reconciled, how can my general die in vain, not even a corpse, I am unwilling!" I know that Mr. is a man of great ability, please ...... Gotta help me......"
Lu Wanwan looked at Liuyun who was kowtowing desperately, but she just smiled bitterly and said: "I can't protect myself now, how can I have the spare strength to help you, otherwise how do you think I would escape like this, and we haven't completely escaped now, I don't know when I will be caught back." ā
Liuyun straightened up tremblingly, she just kowtowed too hard, and her head was already swollen, Lu Wanwan looked at her like this, she felt a little unbearable, sighed and said: "A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, let's leave first, revenge, and then slowly plan later." ā
Liuyun sat there stunned for a moment before nodding slowly, his dark eyes lifeless, like a lifeless puppet.
"You go out first, I'm going to rest." Lu Wanwan closed her eyes and said slowly.
Liuyun lowered his head and got out of the carriage. Although Lu Wanwan had a lot of things in her heart, she fell asleep quickly, she was already sleepy because she was pregnant, otherwise she wouldn't have slept for two days before, but fortunately, the fetus in her womb was quite obedient, even if she rode a horse like that before, nothing happened, it was really a worry-free child, and when she was born, she must be an obedient child.
Before dawn on the second day, the carriage was on the road again, and the carriage galloped all the way, the speed was fast, and before you knew it, it was almost to the Shuchuan boundary.
"Sir, where are you going?" The carriage was moving very fast, and seeing that it was about to reach the Shuchuan realm, Liuyun asked Lu Wanwan in a whisper in the car.
"Out of Shuchuan, let's change the waterway and go to the capital, where it should be the safest for us." Yi Jiang sighed, she actually thought about many places, but none of them were more suitable than the capital, although she didn't want to go back like she was now.
Liuyun listened to Lu Wanwan's reply, and thought thoughtfully: "The capital, that's not where the emperor lives, and I don't know what it's like there......"
Lu Wanwan was about to say a few words about the style of the capital with Liuyun, when he suddenly heard Wang Baizhou shouting loudly outside the car. When the coachman heard this, he immediately shouted and flicked his whip, and the carriage under him accelerated suddenly, almost knocking her down.
She hurriedly leaned out to take a look, and the smoke and dust were billowing behind her, even if she was far away, the person in charge could know who it was even by just looking at her figure.
"That person actually chased after him personally."
Liuyun's face turned white with fright, glanced out of the car, and said in a lost voice.
Lu Wanwan didn't expect Meng Feiyang to come so fast, she thought about it for a while, and said to Liuyun: "They are too fast, they must all be staring at the carriage, let's get off the car secretly, get on the horse and escape!" ā
Liuyun had already lost his mind, just nodded stunned, and the two changed the clothes of the attendants and hurriedly got out of the carriage.
The sun had just set, and the white shadow of the moon was already hanging in the air.
The group of people in front of them got closer and closer, and one of the carriages was galloping, and even the sound of the coachman shouting for the horses could be heard.
There was a town not far ahead, and Meng Feiyang was afraid that Lu Wan would escape into the city at night and there would be an accident, so he immediately ordered several orders to chase after him at full speed.
Shadowlord drew his bow and arrows, shooting two servants in succession at the carriage, and then pointed an arrow at another attendant on horseback beside the carriage.
Meng Feiyang's gaze was also falling on the attendant, and he suddenly jumped forward and stretched out his hand to stop him: "Stop!" ā
Shadowowl's arrow had already been fired, but he pushed it in a different direction, only hitting the horse's hip under him. The horse neighed in pain and threw the person off his body, and the other party snorted, and the shadow lord realized that it was a woman.
As soon as he realized this, the horse under him had galloped forward for some distance, and he vaguely saw the face of the woman who fell to the ground, which seemed to be Lu Wanwan. (To be continued.) )
