Chapter 169: Settle in

The night outside was as dark as ever, and the splints full of corpses were covered with blood.

Ayu trembled, holding her arms and didn't dare to go out, but she soon saw Dark Er, and collapsed on the outside of the cabinet.

It turned out that the muffled sound was made by him!

Ayu hurriedly climbed out, knelt on the ground and shook his shoulders and shouted a few times.

It is clear that the people of the earth are dead, and everything is in vain.

"Bell Guard......

Ayu put his finger under his nose and probed, a heart gradually cooled, seeing that his eyes were wide open, although Huiguang was scattered, there was a kind of reluctance and nostalgia for the world, tugging at his heart, reaching over and slowly caressing his eyes.

The night is dark, the moon is cloudy, and the stars are scarce.

Ayu came out of the cabin, saw the carriage she had been in earlier on the shore, and walked slowly over.

The reins of the ship were not opened when they were attacked before, and now the boat is still leaning on the shore, Jiang Shaomin's people got on the boat and the horses were frightened and ran directly to the shore.

Ayu went to sit down in front of the carriage, she put away her baggage, wiped the tears on her face, and gently pulled the horse rope and slowly left the riverbank.

In the early morning, Ayu waited for a while on a small road outside the city, and waited for the gate in front of her to open before putting on a hat and following the businessmen who were doing the morning market into the city.

There are not many people on Shichen Street now, and many shops have just opened.

Ayu originally wanted to go back to the courtyard where she lived before, but after thinking about it, she still didn't go, but found a pawnshop and used a ruby earring and a gold hairpin on her body.

The golden hairpin was destroyed by her dagger and the place where there was the mark of the palace, which could have been used as a good price, but now it can only be converted into ordinary gold.

The value of these two things is not low, especially the ruby.

The shopkeeper of the pawnshop looked at it again and again, put down something behind him and said, "Little lady, fifty taels." ”

"One hundred and two."

Ayu grabbed the thing, the previous medical hall cheated her of money, she was in a hurry to leave, and now she doesn't know what the future is, of course, she can't be so cheated again.

After she finished speaking, she took those things and left, and the pawnshop shopkeeper was in a hurry, and immediately beckoned, "One hundred, one hundred at most." ”

One hundred taels is almost the price in my heart, Ayu turned around and changed, put away the bag of silver and drove away quickly.

The shopkeeper looked at her back, thinking to himself that this should be someone's down-and-out daughter-in-law, otherwise who would still come out with a big belly as a thing.

Ayu drove around the city for half a circle, and then came to the east side, got out of the car and asked the shop on the street where there was a yard to rent, and she wanted to rent a yard.

This area is a place where small traders gather, and Ayu quickly finds a middle-aged woman, who introduces her to a three-room courtyard for one or two halves a month.

The price was decent, and Ayu quickly set it after reading it, and signed a lease for half a year.

In fact, it didn't cost much to buy such a small courtyard, but it was inconvenient for her to go to the yamen to transfer her ownership now, and she didn't want to find those troubles.

Half a year is enough, she thinks that it is enough, she will give birth to the child here first, and then find a way to find someone outside.

The stand-in that Zhong Guards helped arrange earlier is dead, as long as he hides in these places and does not reveal his identity, I believe he can live.

Ayu sent the owner of the house and the enthusiastic aunt surnamed Fang away, pulled the carriage outside the door in, closed the door and latched it.

She was now a month old, and she felt a little out of breath when she did any work, so she unloaded the carriage and let the horse wander in the yard, and went to rest at the table in the hall by herself.

The furnishings of this room are simple, there are no superfluous things, and they are all basic utensils on weekdays.

I heard the owner say that there was a rent here not long ago, and it was not dirty, and she just needed to clean it briefly.

Ayu opened her bag and put it on the table, which contained two sets of dresses brought out of the palace and three sets of ordinary autumn shirts bought outside.

The current season has entered autumn, and she has to go outside to buy cloth to make two sets of cotton skirts later. There are also children, who have done so much before, and now they are all gone.

Thinking of this, Ayu couldn't hide her sadness, opened a few clothes in the baggage, and took out the jewelry wrapped in the brocade and a token that Dark Er had given her earlier.

Ayu didn't know what this token was, and the Zhong guards just asked her to keep it and hand it over to King Liang when the time came.

Ayu took out the token and looked at it, put it back into the brocade, and she also put out the silver coins and jewelry to count.

She didn't like to be full of beads on weekdays, but now in addition to the silver that she had lost before, there was only one jade bracelet and one gold hairpin left, plus the dagger that the man gave her all the time.

She used this dagger several times along the way, and it turned out that the man gave it to her with all kinds of considerations.

Ayu gently held it in her hand and put it on her chest and thought, I don't know what happened to King Liang.

*****

On the side of the Reed River outside Ping County, Dark San has arrived with a few people.

The three men in their group all changed their faces and dressed up as traveling merchants, and the other two women were Xianglan and Xiangping, pretending to be little women.

They met on the other side of the Yin River, Xianglan and Xiangping met with Dark Two in the past, and Dark Three followed the code to find someone.

Obviously, they all went too late, and Dark Er had already left with Ayu, in order not to leave traces for King Qi's party, Dark Er did not leave any information on the side of Ping County.

Found here is Dark Er entered the city in the morning, and knew from the stake that Dark Er was looking for a boat, and the group found here.

The ship was still in the reeds, and before the group could get close, they smelled a strong smell of blood, and they all secretly screamed in their hearts.

"Third child, the boat is there!"

Xianglan jumped up first, and looked at the boatload of corpses and sweat was scared.

At this time, Dark Three also got on the boat, first looked at the corpse outside, and finally found Dark Two in the cabin.

Xianglan and Xiangping are not secret guards, they don't know each other at all, but the dark three and the other two do.

Dark Er's corpse was placed in front of him, and a layer of cold sweat broke out directly on Dark Three's back.

"Let's split up and see if we can find any clues."

King Qi's people are also looking for Niangniang's whereabouts, and these dark three also learned from Xianglan's mouth, whether they were caught by King Qi and them as hostages, or there was an accident, these results were what they didn't want to see.

Several people quickly dispersed, and they carefully searched inside and outside the cabin, and even the dark cabinet was turned out, and no trace was found.

"Will it be arrested by King Qi's people?"

Dark Eight asked a little apprehensively, and then touched his neck, if this news was known to His Highness, would they be beheaded together.

Dark Three also has such conjectures, but ......

"Otherwise, hurry up and inform Your Highness, Niangniang will definitely be taken hostage if she is arrested, let Your Highness make plans early, and want to rescue Niangniang as soon as possible!"

Xianglan and Xiangping have been with Ayu for a while, and now they are a little anxious.

Dark San waved his hand at them and said, "Don't worry, the soldiers are divided into two ways." A team of people went to Linxian to inquire to see if they were really arrested. Another group went along the river to see if they could find Niangniang's body. ”
