Chapter 83: Hiding from the World
"Miss, what do you want me to do with the clothes you need to prepare for your guards?"
Xiu Gu put an ordinary guard shirt on the side of Ran Qiunian's bed, a little puzzled.
"Master Xiugu, you can put it there first, and I'll try it later."
Ran Qiunian's voice came after a while, and Xiu Gu felt a little strange, and walked forward to check, only to find that Ran Qiunian was packing up her things.
"Miss, tomorrow is the eldest young master returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, aren't you going to follow? Why pack your bags? ”
"Shhhh Master Xiugu whispered. Ran Qiunian had a weak expression, beckoned, motioned for Xiu Gu to come closer, and lowered her voice in her ear to tell her that she and Qi Ruoyun had come up with the solution.
"Miss, how can this work?" After Xiu Gu heard this, her first reaction was to dissuade her, but Ran Qiu Nian was already determined to go back with her, seeing this, Xiu Gu could only retreat, "I must follow you." ”
Let Ran Qiunian be taken away by Qi Ruoyun alone, Xiu Gu couldn't rest assured at all.
"But if you bring Master Xiugu again, the goal will be too big, and you will definitely be discovered."
Ran Qiunian looked at Xiu Gu with a bitter face and pulled her sleeve.
"Don't worry, I'm not hiding from my big brother all the way, as long as the carriage goes out of the capital, I don't have to hide my whereabouts, there is a big brother along the way, you can rest assured, it'll be fine."
Seeing that Aunt Xiu's expression hesitated, Ran Qiunian made persistent efforts: "What's more, Nian'er has more important things to ask Master Xiu Gu for your help." ”
Facing Aunt Xiu's puzzled look, Ran Qiunian took out the letter that had been prepared a long time ago, folded her hands, and said, "When I leave Beijing, I will also ask Master Xiu Gu to help Nian'er transfer the letter to my uncle and aunt." lest they be worried. ”
Ran Qiunian knew that her actions were too capricious, but there were still too many people and things in Splendid City that she couldn't let go, so she had to make this decision, and she only hoped that the letter she left behind would make her uncle and aunt feel relieved.
Seeing that Ran Qiunian was determined to leave, Xiu Gu even wrote the letter early, and no longer tried to keep it, but said to Ran Qiunian: "When the letter is delivered, I will set off to chase your convoy." ”
Ran Qiunian knew that after Aunt Xiu made a decision, no one could change it, so she didn't say much to dissuade her, nodded, and said with a smile: "Then Nian'er is waiting for the good news from Master Xiugu." ”
The night passed in a flash, and after breakfast, Xiao Yin was ready to set off. But since seeing Qi Ruoyun yesterday, Ran Qiunian has never appeared in front of Xiao Yin's eyes, and when he saw Xiao Yin off in the morning, he was nowhere to be seen.
"What's wrong with this girl? In the past, I was the best friend with you, but today you are leaving, and she can really endure not even showing her face, or I will send someone to find her? ”
Gu Zheng looked left and right, but didn't find Ran Qiunian's figure, and couldn't help but feel strange.
"No need, she's probably still angry with me, so let her be."
Xiao Yin shook his head and refused, he didn't expect that he just refused to take Ran Qiunian back to Splendid City together, this girl's temperament was so big, she didn't even come out to show up, you can imagine how angry she was.
Gu Zheng looked at Xiao Yin sympathetically, and was also a little puzzled: "She is probably homesick too, since this girl wants to go back to her hometown with you to worship her ancestors so much, why do you insist so much?" ”
"It's not early, it's time to go, take good care of Nian'er for me."
Xiao Yin didn't answer Gu Zheng's words, looked at the time, no longer waited for Ran Qiunian to see him off, turned around and walked outside the house.
"The little grandfather has already arrived, and he said that since he is here, it stands to reason that he should come in to meet General Gu before leaving......"
A small servant came from outside the door, Qi Ruoyun stepped close behind him, and greeted Xiao Yin and Gu Zheng.
"Little grandfather, please, grandfather is in the front hall."
This little grandfather of the Qi State Mansion is known for his gentle temperament, humility and courtesy, and he has always acted like this, so Gu Zheng didn't think much about it, and led people to the front hall to say goodbye to General Gu.
"Brother Xiao can go and pack some bags first, and I can leave after the ceremony."
Qi Ruoyun walked a few steps with Gu Zheng, turned sideways, and did not forget to say to Xiao Yin, who had already bid farewell to General Gu and his wife.
Xiao Yin bowed his head and walked towards the gate in the opposite direction to them, and after checking his bags one last time, he sat down on the wheel of the carriage and waited for Qi Ruoyun to come out by leaning on the carriage.
It takes a few days to drive from the capital to Splendid City, and there are more carriages and horses for the little grandfather, so the trip will only be delayed even more, for convenience, Mrs. Gu also prepared a carriage for Xiao Yin alone, and if she is tired of riding a horse on the road, she can rest in the carriage.
Qi Ruoyun really came out of the mansion quickly.
Xiao Yin saw that Qi Ruoyun followed many attendants in and out, although he had always shown himself a gentle and polite image, but from this subtle detail, it could be seen that this person was not so pure and harmless as he appeared.
He didn't look away from interest, but he didn't notice that after he looked away, a petite guard behind Qi Ruoyun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Qi Ruoyun didn't have any intention of coming forward to talk to him for a few words, and the people on both sides got into their respective carriages, and the convoy moved forward slowly.
Ran Qiunian successfully hid from the sky and hid in the last carriage. Xu had Qi Ruoyun's prior orders, although the carriage was stacked with a little bit of things in order to hide people's eyes, the remaining space was still spacious and comfortable.
Not to mention anything else, Qi Ruoyun can't find fault with these scenes. This point, whether it is in the past life or this life, Ran Qiunian is convinced.
She originally planned to bring some simple luggage, but in the end, because the target was too big and she was afraid of being found out that something was wrong, Ran Qiunian gave up her plan and got into the carriage empty-handed.
Two knocks interrupted Ran Qiunian's thoughts, and she looked a little vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from, but saw the coachman's voice coming from the front.
"Little boy, our little grandfather said, you can take whatever the things in the carriage are, they are all prepared for you, if you are hungry and thirsty, there is water and snacks in the second dark compartment on the left, if there are other orders, the little ones are at your disposal."
After listening to what the coachman said, Ran Qiunian realized that the carriage was specially prepared for herself, and Qi Ruoyun did not tell anyone his true identity.
As for the things in the carriage, Ran Qiunian curiously opened the second secret compartment on the left, which contained tea and snacks from Tianxianglou, which made Ran Qiunian's mood a little complicated.
These things happened to be a few things she ordered in Tianxianglou that day, although she didn't move a mouthful that day, but she didn't expect Qi Ruoyun to still treat them as her favorite snacks and write them down one by one.
With this inadvertent detail, if she didn't have the painful memories of her previous life, she was afraid that she would really indulge in Qi Ruoyun's gentle illusion, and there would be no bones left to be gnawed again.
Ran Qiunian closed the dark grid expressionlessly, and she had no desire to look at the rest of the things, and the left and right were just some similar things that attacked the heart.
Although she had no choice but to borrow Qi Ruoyun's means to confuse herself this time, she would never appreciate Qi Ruoyun's gestures of goodwill.
Because of the identity of Qi Ruoyun, a relative of the emperor, the investigation when he left the city was almost a passing scene, and the group quickly left the capital and rushed all the way to the nearest town.
If nothing else, they will have to rest here for the night today.
Although he had already left the capital, this town was not far away, and Ran Qiunian didn't know how determined Xiao Yin was to stay in the capital, so he didn't plan to reveal his identity on the first night.
"Nian'er, tonight I can only wronged you to rest in the ground room for one night, and tomorrow you will cross that mountain, so you don't have to worry about your whereabouts being exposed."
Although Qi Ruoyun said this, Ran Qiunian knew in her heart that if it weren't for herself, the accompanying guards would not have had a chance to live in the ground number room, and the rest of the people were all in one room, and only she was one person in one room.
"In this kind of place, what is the big difference between the rooms of the sky and the earth, the little grandfather can live, why can't Nian'er live? The little grandfather doesn't have to worry. ”
Ran Qiunian sent Qi Ruoyun away with a smile, closed the door, and after a simple wash, he was going to grit his teeth and lie down in the clothes and clothes of the guards during the day, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside.
"Who?"
Ran Qiunian stood up from the side of the bed, looked at the closed door, and asked in a rough voice, but she couldn't help but beat a little in her heart.
"Ran Lei, open the door."
An extremely familiar voice exploded in Ran Qiunian's ears, how could the eldest brother know that she was here? Ran Qiunian suddenly panicked, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Open the door or do I come in by myself?"
Xiao Yin's voice couldn't hear joy and anger, but Ran Qiunian subconsciously felt bad.
She swallowed her saliva, and wanted to say that she recognized the wrong person, but when she thought of her pseudonym Ran Lei, Xiao Yin had already memorized the voice of her rough voice, so she stopped struggling and resigned herself to the past and opened the door.
"Big brother, how did you know I was here?"
Ran Qiunian smiled dryly, and turned sideways to let Xiao Yin, whose face was already black, in.
"I didn't know you were here, and I didn't know you had the audacity."
Xiao Yin sneered, he originally just felt that Qi Ruoyun's behavior was a little strange, and he seemed to have been paying unusual attention to the last carriage.
After everyone entered the inn to rest, he thought about Ran Qiunian, who was angry with him and was unwilling to see him off, he couldn't stay in the house, and when he came out to breathe, he saw Qi Ruoyun's suspicious behavior again.
When I came up to take a look, I found Ran Qiunian, who was talking to Qi Ruoyun in the number room.
At that moment, Xiao Yin's heart was extremely complicated, and he didn't know whether he was more annoyed or surprised, so he could only come over and slap people in person after Qi Ruoyun left.
"Big brother, I know that I am wrong, you must not send me back to the capital. It's been a long time for me to get here, or you'll be able to dissipate your ......."
Ran Qiunian said a little angrily, reached out and pulled Xiao Yin's sleeve, and looked at him with blank eyes.
Even if Xiao Yin was angry when he saw her at the beginning, he was also worn out by Ran Qiunian at this time, he sighed and couldn't help but say, "Your courage is too big." Concealing your identity, disguising yourself as a man, sneaking out of Beijing, what should you do if something really happens? ”
"I'm also prepared, big brother, look, you have the sleeve arrow you sent with you......"
Ran Qiunian pointed to the sleeve arrow tied to his right arm, and his originally upright and majestic expression gradually weakened under Xiao Yin's gaze.
