After a while, Xiao Kunzi had already come back from exploring the road ahead, and said with a smile on his face: "Fortunately, the road ahead is not too difficult to walk, Lord and Mrs. have recently traveled in the mountains and rivers, and have walked through a lot of lofty mountains and mountains, compared to others, today's road is still easy to walk!" There has been no rain recently, so don't worry too much about Lord and Mrs.! Then, Xiao Kunzi thought for a while, and then said: "It's just that I think that the top of the mountain will be colder than now, and the clothes are all tied to the carriage next to the tree at the foot of the mountain, so I am a little afraid that the lord and Mrs. will not be able to stand the wind and cold, and it will not be good in case of frostbite." ”

I laughed, "It's spring, and the wind is no longer as cold as winter, not to mention that we are not afraid of it in winter, and we have climbed many peaks at that time, and now even if it is blown by the wind of the upper mountain, it should not be a big problem!" ”

Zai Yan held my hand, with a shallow smile on his face, looked at me and said, "There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, go together?" ”

I smiled, "The beautiful scenery is appreciated with you, and only then can it be a joy in life." ”

With that, we continued to walk towards the mountain together.

Think about it, it's only been a month since I escaped from Tianxiang Tower.

But since the beginning of this month, the three of us, whether it is Xiao Kunzi, or Zaiyan, or me, have all changed a lot, and the biggest change is the mentality of the three of us, I remember that when I first came out of the Forbidden City, the three of us even breathed quietly, and in the dead of night, when I heard my heartbeat, I would be afraid, for fear that one would be accidentally caught by Cixi's people. When he first came out, Xiao Kunzi was embarrassed to change his words, but now he has all disappeared without a trace.

Everything became so natural as if we had never lived in the Forbidden City.

Jae-yan was never an emperor.

I was never the emperor's favorite concubine.

Xiao Kunzi has never been a groveling eunuch.

I don't know if these days we have been assimilated by a free and wanton life, or if a free and wanton life has been assimilated by us.

In short, it is to live happily and unrestrainedly.

In short, I am sure that this kind of life will continue in the future, and it seems that I have gone very far.

We all felt that we would never go back to that place in the Forbidden City, and that the people in the Forbidden City would never find us again.

We are completely free.

And that's exactly what happened.

The matter of Tianxianglou before also sounded a wake-up call for Zaiyan, the tour along the way, in fact, is also to hide people's eyes, the traces of people in the mountains are rare after all, although the speed of the three people has slowed down, but it is not easy to be discovered, even if it is found, it is difficult to find it in the mountains, and it is not easy to meet some strange people or things as before.

On the night of Tianxianglou, Zai Yan and I stayed in the room for a while, and then the two of us sat down at the table and talked about business, that is, how to leave.

I said lightly: "This Tianxianglou is not a simple place, last night I watched the guards outside the door all night, those people have not relaxed their vigilance for a moment, if we want to escape from the door, it is absolutely impossible, let alone two people, as long as Luo Tianxiang is unwilling to let go, then even an ant on the ground can't run out, and, according to our current situation, we can't make a big deal at all." ”

Zai Yan looked around at the furnishings of the house, frowned and asked, "What is the origin of this Luo Tianxiang and this Tianxiang Building?" ”

I leaned forward and whispered, "Do you know the relationship between Luo Tianxiang and Yuan Shikai?" ”

Zai Yan also leaned forward, and asked me with a serious expression: "What?" ”

I sighed lightly, pursed my lips and smiled: "This Luo Tianxiang and Yuan Shikai were originally a dewy marriage. ”

Zai Yan whispered: "That is to say, it is Yuan Shikai who is supported behind this Tianxiang Building. ”

I nodded.

He suddenly realized: "No wonder when I came here today, I found that neither the beggars nor the gangsters on the side of the road dared to approach here, I was still strange in my heart, in the past few days of living in the inn, looking at the security of this Macheng is not very orderly, and even a little chaotic, people often go to the inn to make trouble, how can this place be the most quiet and no noise?" ”

I smiled faintly, "Yuan Shikai has the power of life and death of tens of thousands of new soldiers in his hands, who would dare to make trouble here?" ”

Zai Yan nodded, stretched his waist back, got up and walked straight to the bed, fell asleep on the bed, looking like he was willing to shake off his hands and didn't care about anything, "Oops", and sighed: "I'm tired of looking for you these days!" ”

When I saw this, I also walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, pulled his arm and said, "What! ”

Zai Yan "shh ”

I struggled and said, "What kind of rest, I haven't even figured out a way to escape!" Ming'er Luo Tianxiang is here, I see what you say, is it possible that you want to give her another thousand taels to hang? ”

Zai Yan pulled me with his hand, and I was instantly embraced by him, his arm around me, but his eyes were closed, his lips were against my cheek, and he said in a lazy tone: "Sleep for a while." As he spoke, a warm breath crept through my ears, and I tried to stand up, but after several attempts, he held me down, unable to move.

After a while, I lay in his arms, seeing his unhurried sleeping appearance, I couldn't help but raise my eyes and ask, "Could it be that you have a way?" ”

He smiled softly and said "hmm".

I was busy asking curiously, "What's the method?" ”

Zai Yan only said: "Sleep for a while." ”

I shook his sleeve, "You're going to tell me!" ”

He smiled and shook his head.

He then blew out the candle on one side.

The two of them were lying on the bed.

There were still people walking by from time to time, just like last night, and a few figures could be seen clearly through the doorscreen.

It wasn't until half an hour later, when the sky outside became gray, Zai Yan took out a silver lotus-patterned pocket watch engraved with the word "Xiang" from his arms and looked at it, sighed shallowly, and then said softly: "It's time." ”

I opened my eyes and asked, "What's the time?" ”

He looked at me and said, "Xiao Kunzi should have already driven the carriage at this time." ”

I let out an "ah" and asked, "Where is he?" ”

Zai Yan got up and walked to the window and looked down, and I followed suit, and sure enough, Xiao Kunzi and the carriage were already waiting below.

Zai said to me, "We have to go through this window." ”

Yes, only this window leads directly to the outside of Tianxiang Tower, but it must be at least two or three stories high from the ground, and it is impossible to jump directly.

Rope?

Ladder?

I was still thinking of a way, Zai Yan had already turned around and ripped off all the thin silk curtains hanging in the room, and then picked a sharp hairpin from the dressing table, and cut the curtains from the beginning to the end, at this time, I already knew what he was going to do, so I also went over to help, while lowering his eyes to tie the head and tail of the cut yarn head and tail with a dead knot, while saying lightly: "You just saw the curtain in this room already have this method in your heart?" With that, I raised my eyes and glanced at him.

Zai Yan looked at me and said, "You're not bad, you reacted so quickly." ”

I chuckled and said, "If you had told me earlier, it might have been faster." ”

Zai Xiang said with a smile: "Let's take advantage of the dawn to get out of Macheng, and then go all the way to the southwest, if nothing happens, when this Luo Tianxiang reacts, our carriage has already traveled ten miles out of the city." ”

I said "um" and nodded: "In this way, Luo Tianxiang will definitely not be able to catch up." ”
