Chapter 142: Escape
Linglong walked out of the dormitory and looked at the situation outside, at this time, the guards outside the dormitory had already been withdrawn by Hou Ye, this is the happiest thing for Linglong, no matter how Mu Zijiang doubts himself, after all, Hou Ye's words, he also has to listen.
Linglong made rounds for a week, and when she knew what was going on outside, she closed the door. Linglong returned to the dormitory, found a cloak, and put it on.
"In the back garden of the East Garden, there is a small gate, you wait to go out from the small gate, there should be no one guarding there." Linglong said.
"What about you?" Zimo was a little worried about Linglong at this time, after all, let her be a woman to cover herself.
"After you go out, I will go to Qianyuan to lure them away, if Mu Zijiang sees me do anything tonight, he will definitely send someone to follow me, and when the time comes, you will be safe when you escape." Linglong said confidently, she knew that with Mu Zijiang's disgust for herself, she would definitely make tonight's plan successful.
Linglong and Zimo walked out of the dormitory, to the back garden of the East Garden, everything here is very quiet, the moon is very big and round tonight, the moonlight shines on everything in the back garden, behind an old tree, there is a small door, but there should be few people here usually, the dust on this door is very large, standing there can smell a smell of dust.
The door was locked, and Linglong tried the lock with her hand, and it was quite tight.
"I'll open it up." Zimo drew his saber and quickly slashed the lock with his sword. Zimo's swordsmanship is excellent, so he doesn't make much noise.
Linglong pushed open the door with her hand, turned her head sideways and said to Zimo: "Son, hurry up and get out of here, you can't delay any longer." ”
Since the door was relatively small, Zimo walked out of the door with his head down, and when he was about to leave, Zimo turned his head to Linglong and said, "Girl, be careful." ”
"Hmm!" Linglong replied softly, then closed the small door.
After Linglong closed the small door, she hurried to the front garden, she hurriedly ran in the courtyard, and then Mu Zijiang saw it, and the light kept looking at the direction that Linglong ran over.
"What's this woman doing again?" Mu Zijiang looked puzzled, but curiosity prompted him to follow.
Linglong ran in the direction of the west hall and disappeared, and Mu Zijiang disappeared when he came here, so he ordered a team of men and horses to follow.
Mu Zijiang's subordinates searched for Miss Linglong together in Xiyuan, but they didn't even see a shadow.
"It's strange, I saw her rushing this way just now, why did she disappear all of a sudden?" When Mu Zijiang was wondering, the maid in the house happened to pass by.
"What is Mu Gongzi looking for?" The maid Cui'er asked.
"Have you seen Miss Linglong?" Mu Zijiang asked.
"Miss will decoct the medicine in the West Garden every night, and after the decoction is finished, she will send it to the adults, but tonight the adults have rested very early, so the young lady has already gone back to the dormitory in the East Garden just now." Cui'er replied.
"But I obviously followed her into Xiyuan, and I didn't see her go out from the gate?" Mu Zijiang said that he didn't even believe the words of the maid in the house now.
"That's because each courtyard here has two gates, so according to the distance, if you go back from the back door of the West Garden, it is the closest, and the young lady must have gone through the back door." Cui'er replied.
"Back door?" Mu Zijiang really didn't know that there was a so-called back door in this house, hehe, just like our modern times, there was an escape channel.
"Oh, there's a back door in that Xiyuan room, just behind the screen, most people really don't know, I've been in the house for many years, and I only know about this place." Cui'er said.
Mu Zijiang walked into Xiyuan's room and moved the screen, and sure enough......
There's a small door hidden in the back, can it be ......
Not good......
Mu Zijiang hurriedly ran in the direction of Dongyuan, the assassin last night must have escaped through the back door, he must have been stopped......
When Mu Zijiang ran to Dongyuan, everything on the scene here had been handled very cleanly, Mu Zijiang looked at the lock of the small door in Dongyuan, it was still tightly locked, the dust on it was very thick, and there was no trace of anyone moving.
It seems that this person is not simple at all, Mu Zijiang did not catch the assassin, so he could only withdraw the two teams of people in the mansion......
By this time, he was even more convinced that Linglong must have something to do with the assassin from last night. If someone hadn't helped the Assassin escape, he wouldn't have disappeared like this......
Dongyuan dormitory, Linglong returned to the dormitory, and the usual quiet was restored here, there was no tension, and there was no fear......
Linglong walked to the bedside, the person who had been lying here was gone, and now she looked back like it had just happened. Linglong is a person who likes to remember, for everything that happened in the past two days, although it is thrilling, but it is not all thrilling, and now I look back on it and there is some sweetness.
Linglong opened the cabinet and took out the jade pendant that was placed in the cabinet, the jade pendant engraved with the snake pattern. Linglong just wants to end this task as soon as possible at the moment, as long as this mission is over, then she can go to find her relatives, and at that time, she may be able to get out of the general's control, and she is no longer alone.
Thinking of this, Linglong inevitably felt a little uncomfortable, after all, it has been seventeen years, and she has lived for so long, she doesn't know her life experience, and she doesn't know who her biological parents are? Isn't it ridiculous to live like this.
The candle flame in the dormitory was extinguished, and Linglong had been holding the jade pendant in her hand tonight, and she fell asleep with it, maybe in her heart, how happy it would be if she could find her relatives at this moment.
Time passed day by day, and half a month later, the Hou Ye had a big birthday, and the birthday banquet was held in the Yishui Pavilion of the Imperial Capital City.
Houfu, the garden, flowers, butterflies flying. A woman in a light gauze dress walks slowly in the garden.
The sun was warm on this day, and the warm sun shone on her body. She was feeling the scent of nature, only to see her gently close her eyes. At this time, a fresh breeze blows slowly, and butterflies fly. She slowly spread her hands, but ...... She wasn't dancing, but she slowly walked around the garden twice, and everything seemed quiet and comfortable.
A call broke the silence.
"Linglong, my lord let you pass!" The servants of the house came to spread the word.
"Hmm!" She paused and looked at the corridor leading to the Hall of Sunrise. If you think about it, you should always face it.
The maid who had been the messenger had already left, and Linglong had taken a few steps forward when she heard a voice behind her.
"You're not going to go like this, are you?"
Linglong turned around and raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her. I saw him wearing a dark robe, with a solemn expression, and an unfathomable gloom in his eyes.
"Or else?" Linglong didn't care about him.
"Today's events are very important, you and I can't make any mistakes! Remember!" He leaned closer to Linglong's ear and whispered.
Linglong's eyes were full of sadness, if our choice was wrong, then should I stop this conspiracy.
But no, it's an order, an order that requires absolute obedience. From the very beginning of her appearance here, she was destined to have no turning back, but to move forward, to the point of being overwhelmed.
……
It's been lurking here for a few months, and in the past few months, Linglong has really almost treated Hou Ye as her biological father.
In fact, this time in the house is beautiful, every bit here is happy in recall, but unfortunately this happiness does not belong to her in the end.
After Linglong saw Hou Ye, she went back to her bedroom and freshened up, because today they will all go to Yishui Pavilion to handle a birthday banquet for Hou Ye.
Whether the matter succeeds or not depends on today, and he must be killed today. Only by killing him can the mission be truly completed.
Linglong's heart suddenly became irritable, and it had never been like this. Because she was afraid that she would not be able to move her hands.
When did she have such a woman's kindness, the general's years of training were all in vain, and the general never cultivated a cold-blooded person.
Linglong looked at the person in the bronze mirror, the person she was most familiar with, how could she feel so disgusted with herself today.
Linglong walked to the bed, picked up the white jade pendant, and put it on her body, Linglong thought about this jade pendant, as long as she completed this task today, then she could go to find her relatives, more than ten years, how Linglong wanted this moment to come.
That's the only reason I can give myself a decision.
Hou Ye's birthday banquet was grand and grand, and the news spread, and anyone with some status in the court would come to celebrate Hou Ye's birthday.
This birthday banquet is very grand, and the government has already begun to arrange all this half a month ago. Not only the use of the birthday banquet, but also the preparation in terms of dance and music are the best.
On this day, an endless stream of people came to Yishui Pavilion. The reason why I chose to celebrate the birthday banquet in this Yishui Pavilion is because this Yishui Pavilion is a feng shui treasure of the entire imperial capital.
It is said that if anyone can hold a birthday banquet here, they must live a long life, and in ancient times, it was scarce to live to be 50 years old.
The Imperial Capital City is the capital city near the sea, and this Yishui Pavilion is located in the east of the Imperial Capital City, symbolizing that the sun rises and is thriving.
The main entrance of Yishui Pavilion is round, and when you enter from the gate, there are all kinds of flowers on both sides, and there are dozens of varieties of chrysanthemums.
Yellow, red, pink, white, green...... The colors are bright and the flowers are blooming. It makes people feel like they are in a sea of flowers.
Yishui Pavilion is surrounded by blue lakes on all sides, and the lake is green like jade, so some people also call this Yishui Pavilion Jade Pavilion.
Not only is the feng shui here good, but even the scenery is unforgettable.
