Chapter 55: Leaving the Palace Smoothly
There was silence in the water truck, only the wheezing of the three people, and Jiao Niang felt that her heart was always beating hard, and she was even a little out of breath.
"Can we walk like this?" Jiao Niang was still nervous, so she could only find something to chat with Qian Xue to divert her attention.
"Today's birthday of Concubine Zhou Guifei, the palace door is wide open, don't worry! OK. Qian Xue lowered her voice and said this sentence without speaking, and Jiao Niang had to sit quietly.
I don't know how long it took, and suddenly the screams of the palace maid came: "Go to the water!" Let's go to the water! ”
It was suddenly noisy outside, with a lot of footsteps and shouts of people running around, but fortunately, Xin An slept very soundly, and even the water truck was pushed up, and Xin An also slept unconsciously.
Jiao Niang held her breath and listened to the movement outside, the water truck gradually left the noisy place, listening to the sound of the cart man should have passed through the two guards guarded the door, just when Jiao Niang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, someone suddenly stopped the water truck.
"Stop! What to do? The commander of the forbidden army in charge of patrolling looked at the water truck and frowned and asked.
"If you go back to the adult, the Xianghe Palace has gone to the water, and the slave will go to the inland river to get water." The eunuch who pushed the cart said resignedly that the inland river is a relatively remote place in the palace, and the palace water truck sometimes goes back there to get water.
The commander of the forbidden army looked in the direction of the Xianghe Palace and saw thick smoke everywhere, and he was shocked: "Why is no one notifying?" Quick, follow me. ”
At this moment, the commander of the forbidden army didn't care about interrogating the cart eunuch, he hurried to the Xianghe Palace with his subordinates, for fear that he would be unlucky if something happened to him if he was one step late.
The eunuch who got out hurriedly pushed the cart and left quickly, and when he arrived at the river, the eunuch saw that there was no one around, and then he lifted the lid and whispered: "Master, it's here, come out quickly!" ”
Qian Xue climbed out first, Jiao Niang hugged Xin An and followed, and the eunuch followed behind with their baggage. Qian Xue walked under a very thick old tree on the edge of the inland river forest and kicked the ground with her foot, and there was an obvious hollow sound from the ground.
In Jiao Niang's stunned expression, the eunuch pulled the wooden plank underground, and there was a deep tunnel inside.
"You've been trying to run away for a long time, right?" Jiao Niang complained directly, don't you want to run her to arrange someone to dig this secret passage?
"Do you understand the three holes of the cunning rabbit? When I learned that I was going to enter the palace, I had already planned secretly, and I spent all my savings to find someone to dig it up from outside the palace. Qian Xue smiled proudly and took the lead in the secret passage, Jiao Niang followed closely with Xin An in her arms, and the eunuch also followed.
The secret passage was very spacious, and it was no problem for one person to walk, and the eunuch handed a lantern to Qian Xue, and he sealed the secret passage from the inside.
Jiao Niang found that this secret passage was dug very professionally, not only the walls were neat and tidy, but also very breathable, and there was no feeling of aggrieved, Jiao Niang remembered the meeting place with Yan Yijun, so she asked: "Where does this secret passage lead?" ”
"What? Want to go back to China to inform? Don't be delusional, the Northern Emperor will discover this secret passage in less than two days. Qian Xue didn't look back in front of her, and Jiao Niang could hear the sarcasm in her words.
"You think too much, I just have to take my brother to the vicinity of 'Guanshi Lake', and someone will wait for me again." "Jiao Niang has memorized the road map near the Northern Palace, and now as long as she meets Yan Yijun, they can leave the Northern Capital.
Qian Xue suddenly turned around when she heard this, her eyes widened and she said, "That's not good, let's be together." Why do you think I took you out of the palace? It's because I haven't lived in the people, I'm kind to you, and you can't leave me. ”
Jiao Niang suddenly felt like she was on a thief ship, and she also wondered why Concubine Luo joined forces with her, and she was not used from the end to the end. I'm waiting here!
"I'm going to have to meet that guy, we've made an appointment." Jiao Niang was a little annoyed, she didn't seem to trust others easily.
"So stubborn, is that man your lover?" Qian Xue asked a little funny.
"He came here from Huaguo to find me, and I can't leave him behind." Jiao Niang argued with reason.
"Then let's take him with us!" Qian Xue decided to look at the situation when the time came. The reason why she had to pull Xin Jianniang was not only that she couldn't stay in the northern country anymore, and someone had to help her disguise herself when she went to a foreign country, but also because Xin Jianniang was Han Zongqi's benefactor after all, and the Northern Emperor would not take her life after all.
A few people walked in the secret passage for I don't know how long, and finally came to the end, the eunuch opened the secret door at the end, and Jiao Niang went out to find them in the backyard of a deserted house.
The eunuch opened the door and looked at it, then closed it again, and said in a panic, "The master doesn't have a carriage here. ”
Qian Xue instinctively felt that something was wrong, she frowned and said, "I went to change my clothes first, let's go quickly." ”
As soon as a few people had changed their clothes, they slipped out of the courtyard door and saw three or four people dressed as housekeepers blocking the door and forcing them back into the yard, and a man with a lofty spirit walked out from behind the housekeepers.
As soon as the man saw Qian Xue, he gritted his teeth and said, "You have a brain disease, don't you?" Did you know that you were going to kill our whole family? ”
A bitter smile appeared on Qian Xue's coquettish face: "My good brother, you didn't think that I would die when you sent me to the palace!" Over the years, I have brought enough glory and wealth to the Luo family and you. I want to live freely now! ”
The man's face turned black when he heard this, and he stared at Qian Xue viciously and said, "I don't talk nonsense with you, how can you give me how to come back and how to go back, let's treat tonight as if nothing happened tonight." ”
"What if I say no?" Qian Xue asked.
"Then I will arrest you and send you to Your Majesty to be punished!" The man waved his hand, and several of the family members rushed forward. Before they rushed in front of Qian Xue, the eunuch on the side rushed out, but they didn't expect that the eunuch still had a few kung fu, and they couldn't get out of the fight for a while.
Jiao Niang took advantage of their fight, quietly hugged Xin An, and ran out of the front door with her baggage. At this time, it was still very dark, but there were already residents on the street going out, and Jiao Niang inquired about the location agreed between Yan Yijun and her, and hurried over.
After walking for a long time, seeing that she was about to arrive at the appointed place, Jiao Niang found that a large group of people dressed like the servants just now suddenly appeared on the street, as if they were looking for someone.
Not sure whether to find Qian Xue or herself, Jiao Niang hugged Xin An and wanted to bypass these people, but she didn't expect Xin An to suddenly cry at this moment, and the group of people was immediately attracted by the crying.
"There's a beautiful woman here! Do you want to take it back first? A group of family members surrounded her, Jiao Niang couldn't run if she wanted to, thinking that being caught by Concubine Luo's brother would be wiped out, Jiao Niang couldn't help but have two feelings of trembling.
"Who are you? What are you doing around my mothers and children! At this moment, a handsome man pushed away the family and blocked in front of Jiao Niang, Yan Yijun was dressed as a weak scholar and dispelled the doubts of the family members.
"It's true that we are looking for a man and a woman, but we didn't say that we have children."
"Get the butler, he knows the woman."
The family still didn't let them go easily, but continued to surround them, Yan Yijun always stood in front of Jiao Niang, until the housekeeper in the mouth of the family Ding arrived.
"No, no, no! The eldest lady doesn't look like this, look for it quickly! The butler looked closely, shook his head, and ran away with a group of housekeepers.
