Chapter 118 (Second Watch)
In one night, Yun Ying led people to climb through this town and a radius of hundreds of miles. However, at dawn, he returned in vain, knelt in front of Yun Chi and pleaded guilty again.
He didn't expect that after dispatching all the hidden guards brought out by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he didn't find half of Hua Yan and Qiu Yue's shadows, and they disappeared as if out of thin air.
He really couldn't believe it, he dispatched the top hidden guards of the East Palace to search for a night, but there would be a situation where no one could be found.
Yun Chi hadn't slept all night, his eyebrows became more and more calm and cool, and he waved his hand to Yun Ying, "Withdraw everyone and order people to set off." ”
He stayed overnight in this town, and the overnight delay was already the limit.
Yun Ying should have gotten up slowly, but still couldn't help but speak, "Your Highness, you said, the crown princess and the girl Qiuyue, would they have left a radius of a hundred miles as early as when we were investigating?" Otherwise, overnight, his subordinates have almost turned over this town and a hundred miles away, how can they find anyone? ”
He could only think of one thing, and that was that the two of them rode away as soon as they got out of here, but he did not hear the sound of the horses' hooves.
Yun Chi smiled faintly, "She's in this town now." ”
Cloud Shadow's complexion changed.
Yun Chi said again, "She is no longer the crown princess of this palace, if it is not unexpected, she will be able to receive the news of repentance from the capital today." ”
Cloud Shadow was shocked.
Yun Chi waved his hand and ordered, "Let's go." ”
Cloud Shadow retreated, not saying more.
The carriage and horses set off and soon left the town and continued southwest.
Indeed, as Yun Chi expected, Hua Yan and Qiu Yue did not leave this town, but hid in the underground dark room of a long-abandoned courtyard.
The courtyard is in disrepair, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, the tiles and beams of the roof of the house have long been soaked by the wind and snow, many holes and even collapsed, if you stay in the house, there are gravel and wood blocks and thatch under your feet, and you can see the stars in the night sky when you look up.
It's really broken...
The people of Yunying have been here, standing on the beams of the roof and looking around, where they can't hide people, and they use their internal breath to investigate, without the slightest hint of human breath, they linger for a while, and then leave.
As everyone knows, Huayan and Qiuyue are in the underground secret room of that house.
The owner of this courtyard, Hua Yan knows, and Qiu Yue also knows, and it is the place where the magic hand ghost doctor Tian Bu used to live.
Since his disappearance, no one has lived in it for many years, and the dilapidated house and courtyard have long been unwanted, and no one has taken care of and managed it, so naturally it has become this dilapidated appearance with the wind, frost and rain.
The reason why Hua Yan chose this small town to leave was because there were people to hide here, so she naturally had to think of a hiding place for herself and Qiu Yue. She expected that no matter how powerful Yun Chi's people were, it would be difficult to find the underground dark room in this dilapidated courtyard for a while, and Yun Chi would not have much time to look for her, and she couldn't delay too long because she was in this town.
After all, he was going to the southwestern state to deal with the turmoil there.
He is the crown prince, and he can't be allowed to joke about state affairs.
Therefore, after Hua Yan and Qiu Yue quietly walked out of the place where they settled through the thatched house, they came here with bated breath all the way, and quickly turned on the mechanism against the dilapidated dust, and entered the dark room underneath.
Because it has been uninhabited for a long time, there is nothing in the basement, no food or drink.
The black hole is empty, and there is not even a night pearl.
After Qiu Yue and Hua Yan entered the dark room, they got used to it for a while, Qiu Yue touched the lamp and whispered, "Miss, use the fire fold to palm the lamp." ”
Hua Yan whispered, "Don't hold the lamp, in case this broken place has been uninhabited for too long and weathered and leaks, we will be exposed." ”
Qiuyue thinks about it, and it makes sense, so she can only give up.
Hua Yan got used to it for a while, touched Hei and sat on a chair, and said to Qiu Yue, "At most, one night, for Yun Chi, even if he wants to find me, it is the limit." Tomorrow morning, when he can't find us, he will leave the place, and we'll just endure the night. ”
Qiu Yue nodded, "The slave maid is so endurable all night, but Miss, you haven't eaten anything during the day, and now if you are hungry for such a night, the slave maid is afraid that you won't be able to stand it." ”
Hua Yan smiled and said, "What's unbearable?" Back then, at the mouth of the river, I was hungry for eight days, and I couldn't stand it at that time, but now what is this day and night? ”
Qiu Yue whispered, "Do you really think that what you have planned has been done?" If not, we'll leave like this......"
Hua Yan said in a relaxed tone, "Nine times out of ten, it can be done, as long as sixteen acts according to my instructions, Yun Chi is not in the capital, his father may still have scruples, but the Queen Mother, in the end, she is old, people are old, the most unbearable thing is not to hold her grandson, if she hears that I am infertile, she will definitely not be able to stand it, especially this sterility is still known to the world, she is even more unbearable, and she will immediately make a decree not to give Yun Chi time to stop it." ”
Qiu Yue relaxed a little when she heard this, "If it can really be done, Miss, you will be free." ”
Hua Yan reached out and pinched Qiu Yue's cheek, and said with a smile, "You don't have to follow me anymore, I can give you to him." ”
Qiu Yue's face flushed, burning like fire, and she pouted and said, "Miss will make fun of the slave, the slave doesn't want to marry Childe, as long as she can wait by Childe's side, she will be satisfied." ”
Hua Yan pouted, "Look at your little talent, you can be regarded as a famous family, but I have been deceived by me over the years, and I have wronged you to be a servant." Why degrade yourself? ”
Qiu Yue shook her head, "Don't talk about your background, just talk about the slave and maid, and I think I am not worthy of my son." ”
Hua Yan even pouted, "How many years have you been with me?" I cultivated you single-handedly, you will have a lot of things, don't feel unworthy of your brother. ”
Qiu Yue whispered, "It's the young lady who looks down on the slave, and even so, the slave doesn't dare to ask for anything." ”
Hua Yan sighed helplessly, "You, tell me what is good about you?" After the words fell, she thought about it and smiled again, "After I get rid of this broken identity, I will give you to my brother, if my brother is interested in you, he will naturally keep you, if he has no intention of you, then, you will come back to me, we have many brothers in the Hua family, and I will choose someone for you." ”
Qiu Yue whispered, "If Childe has no intention of me, I will not marry for the rest of my life." ”
Hua Yan was annoyed and stretched out her hand to kill her head, "You are stupid!" Why are you so desperate to stay with me for so long? I'd rather hear you say that if he doesn't want to, you just let him have an interest in you, but if you can't, just give up on him and like someone else. Why do you say that you will not marry for the rest of your life? You're stupid. ”
Qiu Yue also smiled, "The slave is stupid, Miss often says I'm stupid." ”
Hua Yan was completely speechless, ignored her anymore, found a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep.
Qiu Yue thought about Childe for a long time, and was a little happy, but also a little bottomless and nervous, and soon fell asleep like a flower.
The master and servant had been quietly preparing more than ten days ago, and they had been very troubled, but now that they had gotten rid of Yun Chi and the people of the East Palace, the fatigue soon hit, even if the environment was not good, it still did not affect their sleep.
The basement was so quiet that you couldn't hear the wind and grass outside.
Hua Yan didn't sleep well this night, but she kept falling asleep in a daze, and a few times she seemed to see Yun Chi's face like water appear in front of her, a pair of warm eyes stared at her, she almost jumped up from the chair, woke up a few times, and slept a few times before she lasted until dawn.
Sure enough, as Huayan guessed, after dawn, there was also some light in the underground dark room.
She rubbed her sore shoulders, thinking that she was lucky she hadn't turned on the light when she came in last night, otherwise she might have been discovered.
Qiu Yue didn't sleep well, but it was stronger than Hua Yan, she woke up and rubbed her sleepy eyes to look at Hua Yan, saw the tired look on her face clearly, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, is it dawn?" ”
"Hmm." Hua Yan nodded, stood up, rubbed her arms and legs, patted the soil on her body and said, "We can go." ”
Akizuki immediately stood up.
The two of them came out of the basement.
Outside, the sky was already bright, the sun was shining, and the warm and dilapidated courtyards and wild grass seemed to be warm.
Hua Yan leaned against the dilapidated door frame, looked at the sky and smiled well, "If it is not expected, I will be able to get the news from the sixteenth today." ”
Qiu Yue was also in a relaxed mood, "Miss, where are we going to wait for news from Sixteen?" ”
Hua Yan said, "First go to Wande Building to eat a delicious meal, and then go to Niu Er Tea Shop to wait." ”
Qiu Yue nodded.
The two of them walked out of the dilapidated courtyard, passing by the place where Yun Chi landed yesterday, and sure enough, the people had already left. So, the two of them entered a good restaurant on the main street of the town in a grand manner, ordered a lot of dishes, and ate and drank a lot in the early morning.
After breakfast, the two went to Niu Er Tea Shop.
Niu Er Tea Shop, as the name suggests, is named after Niu Er, the tea shop is not big, except for Niu Er, there is only one young man, seeing Hua Yan coming, Niu Er, who was pulling the abacus in front of the counter, opened his eyes sharply.
Hua Yan came to the counter, leaned lazily on the counter, and said to him with a smile, "Shopkeeper, come to a bucket of tea bath, girl, I need to clean the dust." ”
Niu Er was stunned, and spit out a sentence in a half-loud voice, "Come with the little one." ”
