Chapter 334: Leaving Luoyang
Although the jailer didn't understand it very well, he also knew her identity, and even more knew who the eunuch who had just come was, so he nodded at the moment, turned around and strode away.
Liu Jing looked at the jailer's departing footsteps, and secretly thought: Deng Sui's heart to kill me is too heavy, and my top priority is to buy time. It would be nice if she was moved, and if she was moved, I would have some time......
She expected that she would be moved, whether it was for the world or for the individual, she would be moved. For Deng Sui, he can be killed sooner or later, if he can get his own wealth of abundant treasury before killing himself, it will be the best of both worlds!
Sure enough, when Liu Jing waited for a full hour, there was a sound of footsteps, and the eunuch came to her cell door just now, and after saying a few words to Liu Jing, knowing that she was really willing to exchange her property for a small life, the eunuch screamed and laughed strangely: "Even if you still know each other - Her Royal Highness the Princess, come out, you and our family have gone to see the Queen Mother!" β
After that, the iron door creaked open, and Liu Jing was taken out of the iron prison.
Straight in the dark aisle, listening to the sound of footsteps, Liu Jing asked softly, "Father-in-law, what time is it?" β
The middle-aged eunuch behind him yawned and said sharply, "It's almost five watches......
Liu Jing lowered her eyes, and she said softly: "I didn't expect that I would be so tired that the Queen Mother didn't sleep all night." β
The eunuch sneered, and he said, "You are tired of the Queen Mother's mother, and the Queen Mother is very sad now." I think that when you're done, she'll rush to the wake again. β
Done with her business? When Liu Jing heard this, her lowered eyes sank.
Luoyang Palace before the wee hours of the morning. The sky was dark and dreary, but there was no light, and there seemed to be a rooster crowing in the distance.
While walking, several eunuchs kept yawning, and when they saw Jin Wuwei walking around one by one from a distance, they were also sparse and tired.
Liu Jing only glanced at it, then lowered her head.
Just as she was thinking quickly, suddenly, in the darkness behind her, there seemed to be the sound of something falling to the ground.
The eunuch in front stopped. He turned to him and asked, "Did you hear anything?" β
Just as the other two little eunuchs shook their heads. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared behind the eunuch!
The black shadow moved extremely fast, and Liu Jing just saw that he had appeared behind the middle-aged eunuch like lightning. With a black shadow handkerchief. The eunuch fainted. Just as the eunuch fell. Liu Jing heard two muffled snorts, and when she looked back, the other two little eunuchs were also put down.
Then. A dark shadow rushed to Liu Jing and whispered, "Come with me." β
This sound?
Liu Jing was pleasantly surprised, she hurriedly responded with a small and trembling voice, and followed the man.
The man was obviously very familiar with this palace, and took Liu Jing to turn around, and after a while, he came to a corner with tall grass and old houses.
Seeing her looking, the black shadow whispered, "This is the Cold Palace." He grabbed Liu Jing's hand and walked quickly, "After this cold palace, it is the west gate of the palace, the princess walks faster, Lang Jun is waiting for you there." β
Liu Jing suppressed her voice and hurriedly responded: "Yes, thank you Diwu." β
Di Wu didn't answer, but his movements were faster, and after a while, the group rushed through the range of the cold palace, and a faint figure appeared in front of the darkness.
The figure was so familiar, Liu Jing rushed over, and when she came to the man, she threw herself into her arms and hugged his waist tightly.
This person is Deng Jiulang.
Deng Jiulang hugged her and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up, let's leave the palace." β
"Yes."
When he walked out of the West City Gate, Deng Jiulang took out his token. He is a frequent visitor in the palace, plus today's mother Deng passed away, and the Empress Dowager Deng didn't sleep all night, it is normal for him to enter and leave the palace.
So, those Jin Wuwei only glanced at it, and then politely opened the city gate and let them go.
As soon as she left the scope of Luoyang Palace, Liu Jing saw that the carriage and horses were ready, and Deng Jiulang hurriedly sent her to the carriage.
In the carriage, there were still two servants, looking at the son who was sleeping soundly with a small mouth in the handmaiden's arms, Liu Jing burst into tears.
At this time, the carriage accelerated, in the dark, the horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth, until the ground was silent, at a very fast speed, when everyone came to the West City Gate, Deng Jiulang took out the token again, and let the city gate guard open the Luoyang City Gate.
As soon as they left Luoyang City, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and when the team drove fifty miles out of Luoyang City, Deng Jiulang stopped.
At this time, there were some trees planted on both sides of the official road where they were, and with Deng Jiulang's whistle, a group of silver-armored guards in the woods poured out of the woods.
Pointing towards Liu Jing's carriage, Deng Jiulang glanced at the red sun that was gradually emerging on the horizon, and said in a deep voice: "You escort Princess Hele, and everyone obeys the princess's command!" β
After everyone responded, he rode his horse to Liu Jing's carriage and said in a low voice, "Ah Jing, I'm going back...... You go back to Jiaozhou first, and when you deal with your mother's funeral, I will come to you. β
I don't know when, Liu Jing has burst into tears, she looked at Deng Jiulang with a blank face, and said in a dumb voice: "Jiulang, why...... Why is this the ending every time I come to Luoyang? β
Deng Jiulang reached out and stroked her face.
In the morning sun, there was a trace of pain in his eyes, looking at Liu Jing, Deng Jiulang said in a low voice: "This is only temporary. Well, you will leave immediately, remember not to be neglected, as long as you have not arrived in Jiaozhou, you are not safe. After a pause, he said: "Don't take care of yourself, remember, if you don't arrive in Jiaozhou, you can't relax." Ajing, you have always been smart, this time, you must use all your cleverness to help yourself go home safely! β
"Okay." Deng Jiulang suddenly grabbed Liu Jing's shoulders and hugged her tightly in his arms. Holding her, he lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said in a low voice: "Mother has just passed away, and I am the son of a man, so I can't leave at this time no matter what." Ajing, you must be careful! β
Speaking of this, he ruthlessly let go of Liu Jing, waved his hand, and shouted: "Go-"
With his order, Liu Jing's carriage, Deng Jiulang and his party, set off at the same time, and the farther and farther away the figure, Liu Jing suddenly covered her mouth with her fist and cried suppressedly.
Hearing the cry in the carriage, listening to the cry getting farther and farther, Deng Jiulang's eyes turned red, and he pursed his thin lips and said softly: "Let's go, let's go faster!" β
"Yes!" In response, everyone galloped towards Luoyang City with their horses. But just as he was about to enter the city gate, Deng Jiulang hesitated for a while and ordered: "Earth Five, Earth Eleven!" β
"In!"
"Those who entered the palace with me tonight, you should leave immediately, don't enter the city, don't go in the direction of the Liu clan, find a safe place to hide by yourself!"
"Yes!"
As soon as his order came out, Deng Jiulang was equivalent to an empty city.
The horse's hooves clicked, and after a while, Deng Jiulang returned to the Deng Mansion.
When the Deng Mansion was brightly lit and crying was endless, Deng Jiulang entered through the side door and strode towards his courtyard.
With a squeak, he opened the courtyard door and stepped inside.
As soon as he walked in, Deng Jiulang was stiff. And at this time, among the eunuchs and palace maids who were standing in a courtyard, Empress Dowager Deng slowly turned around, and when the court lady looked at Deng Jiulang expressionlessly, she said softly: "Jiulang is back...... It's been a long time since you! β
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Deng glanced behind Deng Jiulang, and said lightly: "Princess Hele is Luoyang from the south gate, right?" How many people did you put around her? Two hundred? Three hundred? Or five hundred? But even a thousand doesn't matter, my people can't even deal with such a small silver-armored guard! β
As soon as Empress Dowager Deng's words came out, Deng Jiulang raised his head suddenly, he stared at Empress Dowager Deng tightly, and for a while, he found that his palms were cold.
And in front of him, Empress Dowager Deng, who tore off the veil of warmth for the first time, closed her eyes, saw her hand wave, and said softly: "Except for the archers, everyone else will retreat." β
"Yes!"
In the sound of neat footsteps, all the eunuchs and palace maids retreated together, and for a while, the courtyard was quiet again. But if Deng Jiulang didn't hear it wrong, around here, the Queen Mother installed archers?
She actually used an archer on herself!
Thinking about the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, Deng Jiulang's heart sank to the bottom of the ice.
β¦β¦
Liu Jing and the others were marching rapidly.
As Deng Jiulang ordered, she couldn't relax even if she escaped from Luoyang, and this time, she couldn't relax until she fled to Jiaozhou.
Liu Jing lifted the curtain and looked outside, looking at the vast mountain vista, and secretly thought: This time the accident was too hasty, and I don't know if Huo Yan and they got the news?
In the blink of an eye, she sighed again, Huo Yan and the others got the news, but they were afraid that they would not be able to catch up with their speed. From the death of Mother Deng yesterday evening, to the Empress Dowager Deng suddenly taking herself out of prison, and then to escaping by herself, it was only six hours in total, which was really too hasty and too fast.
Just when Liu Jing was thinking nonsense, a silver-armored guard rode over, pointed ahead and said: "Princess, there is a fork in the road twenty miles ahead, from that fork in the road you can also go to Jiaozhou, should we take the fork in the road or continue to go from the official road?" β
Liu Jing said: "It's a fork in the road. β
"Yes!"
The silver-armored guard answered, and the horse turned sharply.
Twenty miles away, driving at full speed in less than a quarter of an hour, when the fork in the road appeared in view, the sound of the crowd breathing softly again came.
After a while, the convoy was on the fork in the road.
This fork in the road, which is also an official road, is very wide, but the left side is not a wasteland, but a small river, and there are countless shrubs and trees on the right side.
After walking less than five miles, a silver-armored guard suddenly shouted, "Stopβstop!" β
His shouting was so loud and deep that everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Just as the convoy came to a halt, the silver-armored guard turned over and dismounted, and looked at a horse's hoof print.
Liu Jing frowned, she was about to ask something, and suddenly, in the woods behind her, there was a sound of footsteps! (To be continued......)
