Chapter 378: Lies
After An Xiabai left the town, she rushed to the woods and other densely vegetated places, trying to take advantage of the environment to get rid of the pursuers, but the pursuers always followed her, and she had no choice but to run forward in a panic.
The pursuers behind him were still chasing closely, but there was no road ahead.
An Xiabai lowered his eyes to look at the surging river below, and secretly thought in his heart how sure he would be if he jumped down, how sure he would be to climb up from the water alive.
She is not very good at water, and in the face of such a rapid flowing water, I am afraid that it will not take long to lose all her strength.
What should we do now?
When An Xiabai was in a hurry, the pursuers had already come to the woods behind her.
Her mood sank suddenly.
It seems that it is difficult for me to escape this catastrophe today, but I hope that after I die, my husband can treat Xiaodong Xiaoxue well, and my husband will take good care of himself in the future.
"Who are you?"
An Xia Bai stood beside the cliff with more eyes than his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and was about to jump down when he suddenly heard a voice from the woods behind him.
Could it be that the heavens will not die for her?
An Xia Bai stepped back quickly, hiding behind a tree with her petite body. She faintly heard voices talking not far away, but when she tried to listen carefully, she couldn't hear anything clearly, only the sound of swords intersecting, and the screams of people.
Even more unfortunate was that the wind was on their side.
The cool wind brings a disgusting smell of blood!
When An Xiabai ran out of the small town just now, he had carefully observed the clothes of the pursuers under Xiong Li's sailors, and at this time, those pursuers were fighting with another group of people, and the shouts were shocking. An Xia Bai estimated that the team sent by Xiong Qianshui was sent to assassinate him, and the other team didn't know.
As soon as they met, the other party was menacing, and it was estimated that it was the person who was sent to kill Xiong Qianshui.
They competed with each other, but An Xiabai had the opportunity to make a profit!
Taking advantage of the fact that the two sides were fighting, no one noticed him at all, An Xiabai quietly left the woods under the cover of the trees, and then took a horse left by the pursuers on the official road.
After riding the horse far away from the woods, An Xiabai barely allowed himself to relax.
How far she had run this way, An Xiabai didn't notice it at all, and when she came back to her senses and stopped, she had already stopped in front of an inn, and the little maid came forward with a smile on her face: "Girl, do you want to play sharp or stay in a hotel?" β
Everyone is running here, I'm afraid those people just want to chase it, and they shouldn't be able to catch up, right?
Anxiabai called the horse to the servant, and then asked him to prepare a room.
She had been riding her horse all day today, and she had not rested well last night, so she had to lie down and rest for a while before she could continue her journey, and all the changes and changes she had experienced in the past two days were about to scare her to death.
The guest room was quickly prepared, and the first thing An Xiabai did after returning to the room was to lie down and sleep, she hadn't slept all night last night, and her eyes were about to be boiled red.
An Xiabai slept until the next evening before waking up.
The little maid who was in charge of entertaining the guests knocked on the door of the room lightly, and then asked An Xiabai in a low voice if she had woken up.
An Xiabai felt strange, in her impression, she only slept for a short while.
"What's the matter?"
Hearing her voice, Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief.
"Guest, you haven't left your room all day, and you haven't eaten, so let me ask you if you're hungry and want to prepare some food for you?"
An Xiabai opened the door, and her somewhat sleepy face was a little more surprised: "It's already the second day?" β
Xiao Wu looked at An Xiabai with a look of surprise and nodded, "Yes, it's already the evening of the next day." β
I didn't expect that I slept for so long, even if the little girl didn't comment anything, An Xiabai still felt a little embarrassed.
"I was so busy traveling for the past two days that I didn't sleep well for two nights in a row, so I slept late."
The little guy smiled and nodded: "Guest, we all know that it is not easy for you guests who are in a hurry, and the shopkeeper is afraid that you will not come out to eat all day long, and you will be hungry, so I let the villain come over to take a look, since the girl is okay, the little one will go down first." β
After the little guy left, An Xiabai sat in front of the mirror and looked at his face in the mirror for a long time.
It is impossible to enter the capital with her original appearance, not to mention whether all the wanted warrants issued by King Li and Feng Bai have been destroyed, just talk about An Xiabai's own face, she once opened a restaurant in the capital, I don't know how many people in the capital still remember her, she can't take this risk.
In order not to be noticeable, An Xiabai deliberately asked the innkeeper to help him find a tailored coarse cloth shirt to change into.
The little guy was quite strange about this: "Girl, why do you want to change into this dress, this dress is obviously not as good-looking as your own, and it is made roughly, but it can't bring out your appearance!" β
After An Xiabai changed into a coarse cloth dress, although her appearance did not change, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, don't they?
After changing into a coarse cloth dress, she is still much inferior to her previous appearance.
For Xiao Tong's puzzlement, An Xiabai just looked back and smiled faintly.
"If you go out alone, you will be in danger if you dress too well."
The little guy sighed and nodded again and again: "Girl, what you said is that now is the time of chaos, saying that several places are revolting to prepare to be the emperor themselves, and I don't know who will be able to become the emperor in the future." β
An Xia smiled without saying a word.
After she left the inn, she drove for two days in a row, and this time she did not dare to delay on the road, but looked behind her as she went.
She was afraid that the pursuers would catch up again.
But fortunately, An Xiabai did not encounter any danger after coming all the way, she came all the way to the gate of the capital safely, and then followed the flow of people into the capital.
The previous Lu family, naturally, could not go back, they had left the capital for a long time, and they didn't know what happened to the Lu family now, maybe it had been abandoned, or it was taken away by the government and confiscated, and now it may have been replaced by a new owner, and she will only add trouble to herself when she goes to inspect it again.
The Lu family can not go, but the restaurant can't not go.
An Xiabai took a simple salute, through the turbulent flow of people in the capital to the door of the restaurant he had opened, only to see that the once prosperous place has now become a dilapidated building, the red lanterns hanging on the restaurant, and the plaque, because no one has repaired for a long time and fell to the ground, wind and rain, they became a pile of papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
When An Xiabai passed by the door of the restaurant, he deliberately slowed down the restaurant, as if he slowed down, he could take a picture with his former self, and the past was vivid, as if it had just happened yesterday, but those people were no more.
Just like this restaurant, even if it reopens, it will no longer be as prosperous as it was back then.
When An Xiabai walked through the last section of the road, he couldn't help but sigh.
If things in the future can continue to develop like in her previous life, then she will definitely be able to come back one day after a certain year, I hope that day will not be too long.
She took one last look at the restaurant, then turned into an inn, and after asking the boss for a room, she inquired about the news.
An Xia Bai came to the capital, not without any preparation.
Before she came to the capital, she carefully calculated the resources available in the capital with Shen Ya and the others, and they agreed that they could ask Fang Chun for help after arriving in the capital.
Fang Chun is a chess piece set up by Lu Li in the capital, in matters related to King Li, Fang Chun revealed a lot to Lu Li, and most of the news about the capital was passed on by Fang Chun to Lu Li, all in all, Fang Chun is a credible person.
An Xiabai, on the other hand, plans to find the home address of this credible person first.
At this time, the news of her coming to the capital had already been sent to Fang Chun, right?
After An Xiabai and the shopkeeper inquired about the address, he sat back in his place, ready to have dinner and rest, and then went to see Fang Chun.
Just smashed her and waited for the dishes to be served, the two guests next to her suddenly spoke mysteriously: "Do you know, General Xiong has returned to the capital!" β
"What? General Xiong has returned to the capital? Why haven't I heard of this? β
The person who revealed the news said: "I haven't actually heard the news, but there is a relative of my family who lives next to their mansion, and General Xiong came home with great fanfare two days ago, and today I chatted with their subordinates for a few words, and only then did I know that someone had returned." β
"This General Xiong, what a beautiful scenery when he left the capital, but I didn't expect that when he came back, there was no movement at all, do you think that he looks very strange? He likes a high-profile person so much, he won't suddenly learn to behave, right? This time he suddenly returned to Beijing quietly, could it be because he lost the battle on General Lu's side? β
"I don't know that......."
An Xiabai sat next to him and listened quietly to the words in their mouths, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Xiong Lishui and Zhou Guan were repeatedly defeated when they fought against Lu Li in Nanhuai City, but ordinary people didn't seem to know at all? Did the news not spread widely enough, or did Zhou Guan and Xiong Lishui deliberately hide the battle situation?
If it's the latter, then there will be a good show of Xiong Carboxyl Water in the future.
The capital, the palace of the king of Li.
King Li looked at the man kneeling at his feet with a suspicious expression, and asked in a confused voice: "You really won the battle in the hands of Lu Li, you can't be deceiving this king, right?" β
Xiong Lishui silently wiped the sweat in his heart, and still said with a calm face: "Wei Shen dares to hide the military situation so much? It's all true! If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can go and see what Wechen brought back to the capital, those gold, silver and jewelry are all Wechen's trophies, and I specially brought them back to honor Your Highness! β
If King Li still had a trace of confusion in his heart before, then after seeing the 'spoils' brought back by Xiong Qianshui, he didn't even have any scum left in that doubt.
