Venture out of the palace

Stranded for half a moment, still searching to no avail, Duobu urged me to turn back to the public opinion field where the carriage was parked. Perhaps, Tao Xu'er changed her mind temporarily and didn't plan to leave, and it was not a way for me to stay here and go around.

I hesitated, and just after taking a few steps, two black shadows appeared in front of me, and I didn't know where they came out, startling me.

Duobu vigilantly stopped me behind me and stepped back. I walked around the steps and stepped forward, and saw the two of them clearly by the dim moonlight, and I could vaguely discern through the figures, the person I was waiting for.

Both of them were dressed in cloth and covered their faces with plain cloths, and the clothes they wore were rough and extremely dull in color, one black and one brown, inconspicuous in the night, no wonder I couldn't find them before.

"Let's go while there are the most people now."

The one in black was the closest to me, and she was the first to open her mouth, and her voice was terriblely hoarse, and when I heard this voice, I was even more sure that she was Tao Fu'er.

Just as he was about to leave, Duobu sneered: "If you delay for too long, you should still have nostalgia, so it's better not to come." ”

After hearing this, Tao Su'er was not to be outdone, and said sharply: "When was it because of our nostalgia and delay, it was obviously you who came late to make it easy for us to find it, and now you are still blaming others for not."

Duobu stared at me and said, "Asking for someone is also so domineering, I really don't know why you helped her."

Tao Yu'er was angry, clenched his fists and said, "You say it again......"

Duobu sneered and said word by word: "You can say it ten times."

I frowned, and quickly stopped the two arguing: "Shut up, now is not the time to talk about this." Time is of the essence, so act on the plan first. ”

I glanced at Duobu, and I wondered, when did Duobu still have the leisure time to talk to others?

Tao Xu'er sighed coldly, turned around and picked up the woman in brown clothes, and then saluted me with a bow, "I shouldn't." Don't linger here any longer, let's go. ”

Duo Bu and I walked in the front, followed by Tao Xu'er and her companions, and I looked back from time to time to tell them not to separate. The woman in the brown dress was afraid to look at me, but as soon as I looked at her, she lowered her head even more, as if she was deliberately avoiding something.

I paid attention to the movement around me, beware of the guards patrolling the night, and asked Tao Xu'er, "Does your friend not speak, or does he not want to speak?"

Tao Xu'er didn't answer my question directly, but urged me to hurry up and get out of the palace, and other things will be discussed later. Although I was puzzled, considering the seriousness of the situation, I didn't want to ask any more, so I had to close the conversation.

Seeing that I was about to leave the palace gate, my heart suddenly became nervous, and I trembled and didn't dare to go forward. Just as I was about to push back, I took a step against my back, repeatedly reminding me to walk more generously, and to put my expression more natural, so that no one could notice anything unusual. I'm so timid, but it's easy to attract the attention of others.

I can't help but laugh, this situation is like doing something dark that can't be seen.

I glanced sideways at Tao Xu'er, lowered my voice and ordered, "Follow my pace, don't fall behind."

I folded my hands in front of my belly, raised my chin, and strode forward.

Tao Yu'er was suddenly surprised, and pointed ahead and said, "Wu Pingqi!" ”

The name sent a chill down my back and I was stunned. I slowly raised my head and looked at the team of Jin Wuwei's right attendants who came in unison, and the man at the head was Wu Pingqi. Why is it so unfortunate to meet him here? This man is sharp-eyed and meticulous, and it is not easy to take out the criminal slave of the court within his line of sight, if he stops and asks, how can I explain it.

I became more and more flustered, and looked around for a shelter, but it was empty, and I could barely hide from anyone but by a stone clock sundial on the right side of the steps. It's just that this sundial is not wide enough, and there are many of us, how can we hide it?

I froze, hesitated, and my palms were covered in cold sweat. I can't hide from him, so instead of waiting for him to come over and interrogate, I might as well take a risk and go up to him and take a look at him, waiting for me to distract him. Tao Yuer can take advantage of this gap to go out of the palace with everyone. After a brief explanation, let the two of them hide here and don't rush out, and let me and Duobu go around. I clenched my fists and decided to grit my teeth and step forward. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, he stumbled on the stone steps, chatted unsteadily, and stumbled and fell to the ground. Knock on the knee, but also break the skin of the mouth. I didn't have time to be sentimental, I was in a hurry to get up, who would have thought that I would be made up for by Duobu who didn't have time to stop. She crushed the back of my hand. I lay on the ground, my whole body was like a wood, half in pain, half in fright. I'll admit, I'm quite cowardly, and I'm the one who is cowardly.

I covered my mouth and didn't dare to let myself scream, Duobu squatted down and looked at me in a daze, with no guilt on his face, and said, "Why are you so careless?"

I smiled wryly, the corners of my eyes twitching. The movement is so big, how can it not be discovered!

I quickly made up four or five lies in my heart, and waited for Wu Pingqi to come up and ask. I got up stupidly, thinking that I would be able to make eye contact with him, waiting to be exposed with the feeling of seeing death as home, but I didn't think that Sheng Yunjiang would appear at this time and call him.

Wu Ping looked sideways and looked at the visitor indifferently.

Sheng Yunjiang's expression was solemn, and he hurriedly walked in front of him, only to see her lips moving and not knowing what to say, so Wu Pingqi frowned, and strode straight towards Chu Huan Palace. The group of guards he left behind looked at each other, for some unknown reason, and immediately followed after a brief moment of surprise.

can make Wu Pingqi panic like this, could it be that something happened to Yunkang? However, Yunkang behaved like that, followed the rules, and couldn't do anything out of the ordinary, most of them were bullied by someone, waiting for Wu Pingqi to rescue.

But if it's so simple, why bother Sheng Yunjiang to come and rescue the soldiers in person, even if it is needed, it should be the right one.

I shook my head and thought that there was more important things to do.

Seeing Wu Pingqi walking away, I took a deep breath to calm down my emotions, and turned my head to urge Tao Xu'er to speed up her pace and get out of the palace as quickly as possible.

Sheng Yunjiang was still standing in front of the palace gate, with a sad face before the change, waiting for us to walk over with a smile. After I approached, I greeted her kindly: "Coincidentally, Sister Sheng is also here."

She blessed her body and said lightly: "Unfortunately, Yun Jiang came to help the princess."

Did she come on purpose?

I stared and asked, "I don't know what Sister Sheng said to General Wu before, why did she let him be so panicked." But what about Yunkang? ”

Sheng Yunjiang was indifferent, and said with a smile: "The princess has a lot of things to worry about, whether it is an important person or not, you will show your concern, you are not tired." The most important thing right now is not to quickly get rid of the trouble behind you. ”

Oh, this is as if I was in a hurry to help Tao Yu'er, if it weren't for her matchmaking, I wouldn't have this trouble. But then again, my purpose is actually not simple, the reason why I helped Tao Yu'er escape is also to unravel the secret I can't know from her mouth, and it's a matter of long-term, so I'm naturally interested.

Sheng Yunjiang looked past me and stared coldly at the pottery behind her, but it didn't seem like he was looking at her, but at the woman next to her who didn't speak.

She spoke again: "Still grinding, do you want to wait for the matter to be revealed?"

Sheng Yunjiang has really learned Tao Xu'er's previous style of speaking, and even his expression is in place. I glanced at her angrily and hurried away.

I really didn't expect to send Tao Yu'er out of Zhengde Gate like this, it was inevitably too easy.

I sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, there were few pedestrians on the street, the wind swept up the fallen leaves on the ground and flew wildly, somehow, there was an inexplicable aura of murder in and outside the palace tonight.

Duobu drove outside, whipping his horse's back to drive the horse faster, and the horse neighed in pain, and the iron hooves resounded through the streets and alleys. I put down the curtain and turned around, glancing at the person next to Tao Xu'er, and then focusing on Tao Xu'er.

I said bluntly: "What Sister Tao didn't say before should be said now." As for how many earth-shattering secrets you have, I'm not so interested in wanting to know, and I ask you to focus on picking out the things about Changji and telling them. ”

She closed her eyes and leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, not saying a word.

I paused for a moment and continued: "You also know why I helped you, if it weren't for Changji, I wouldn't be willing to take this risk and send you out of a lot of trouble. You know, I can send you out, and I can send you back. ”

I deliberately said cruel words to scare, I thought she would immediately give in and pour out everything, but who knew that she could stand it upside down and remained silent. On the contrary, I couldn't hold my breath, grabbed her hand, and said hatefully: "You think I'm joking with you? Believe it or not, I'll turn the carriage around and go back now! ”

"What's the hurry, when I get out of the city, I'll naturally say it."

After she finished speaking, she broke free from my hand and closed her eyes again.

I had no choice but to sit and wait.

In any case, it is necessary to get things done before the curfew.

Last night, I took advantage of Chang's extreme unpreparedness to steal his token, and at this moment going out of the city was just in line, and as soon as the token lit up, the guards guarding the city didn't even ask a word before letting go.

When I got to the city where there was no one, I couldn't wait to speak again: "Now that it's safe, you can say it."

Duobu took out two lanterns from the car and lit them, one of them for my own lighting, and the other handed it to the mute who had just gotten out of the car. Tao Yu'er slowly raised her hand to remove the scarf on her face, revealing a face covered with scars, terrifying in the dim light.

She laughed, getting more and more mad.

I waited patiently.

She finally spoke, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's really not easy to say one thing by one, and it's also time-consuming. In fact, what I know is similar to what you know, and it was all sued by my aunt Tao Guifei. It's just that I can't listen to it completely, and it's just not critical. I've said a lot of things before, and you've heard a lot of them, so I don't need to repeat them. In recent years, there have been too many things happening in Jiankang City, which one should I talk about first. ”

I frowned: "Then make a long story short, pick up the important ones."

She subconsciously glanced behind her, as if she was on guard against something, and said after a while: "You should still remember that the turmoil of the Ouyang family caused by the poetry translation case at the beginning, and later the destruction of the Tao family caused by a map of Kanyu, and later, because of the fireworks explosion at the Beicheng Observation Deck, it was branded as the Zhao family who plotted to usurp the throne, punished the nine clans, and slaughtered the door. Who do you think is responsible? ”
