Chapter 13: The Exodus
LaCrosse stepped forward and grabbed her and said, "Now that the whole city is searching for us, where are you going?" ”
"Are you afraid that I will be caught by the officers and soldiers and confess your residence?" The concubine turned her head sharply and looked at him hatefully.
The reason why Jun Yuelou stopped her was indeed because of this concern, but the bigger reason was that he wanted to heal her injuries first, otherwise he would always feel that he owed her, but when he thought that she was the emperor's daughter, being arrested and returned to the palace was at most a few words of scolding, and besides, there was a doctor in the palace to treat her, which was a good thing for her.
"Let's go," LaCrosse Lou let go and let her go.
Without thinking about it, she ran out of the courtyard gate and walked out......
But after walking a section, she found that there were too many paths in this alley to count, and she didn't know which way to go out.
She looked back, and she couldn't see the courtyard of LaCrosse Building anymore, and she didn't have the face to go back and ask him again, so she had to pick a random direction and keep going down.
LaCrosse Lou was on the roof at this time, following the concubine all the way, seeing her turn left and right in this alley, he couldn't help laughing, so he wanted to jump down and take her out directly, at this moment, I saw her ask a passerby, and finally found the way, and he kept following her like this.
Finally out of the alley, the cries of the street market swept away the haze of the concubine getting lost.
At this moment, a group of patrol officers and soldiers in armor came from a distance, holding a thick stack of notices in their hands, which were pasted every few dozen paces, and immediately a large group of passers-by surrounded them, pointing to the notices and talking about them; A dozen or so people had already come towards the concubine, and they grabbed a tall man and pulled him over, took a look at the notice, and pushed the person away.
Naturally, she didn't dare to go over, she hid behind a tofu stall, a yellowed coarse cloth covered her, and a few people who came forward to check didn't notice her.
From a distance, she saw that the posted notice was painting the portrait of her and Junyue Lou, and the reward was as high as 10,000 taels, she regretted it a little, if she didn't come out, there would be a place to stay, now I'm afraid there is nowhere to hide, she must now hire a carriage as soon as possible and get out of Jin Capital first!
When the patrol was far away, the concubine lowered her head and covered her face with her hair, and hurried towards East Street, where she remembered that there was a carriage to hire.
But after walking a dozen steps, someone suddenly grabbed her, and she stumbled, and almost fell into the man's arms.
When she looked up, she saw a man with a fat head and big ears and a yellow and black face looking her up and down with squinting eyes.
Seeing his look, the concubine rolled in her stomach, and immediately shook off the man's hand, but because she was afraid of attracting the officers and soldiers on patrol, she had to whisper to the man: "Childe, please respect yourself!" "The voice is small, but the tone is not good.
But in the eyes of the man, this is half pushing, half pushing, the daughter's family is shy, the man laughed insolently, pulled her again, and his voice was greasy, "Little lady, can you go to my son's house to drink two glasses with my son?" The other hand was about to put his arm around her waist.
"Presumptuous!" The concubine shook the hand that was held tightly by him, but she couldn't shake him off. However, this "presumptuous" sound also made the man stunned for a moment.
Seeing this scene, Jun Yuelou, who had already followed out, didn't care about being discovered, he was about to come up with his sword, but he was separated by the swarming passers-by.
"Yo, Young Master Guan is bullying a girl from a good family again?" Someone quipped.
Seeing that there were already several layers of dense passers-by around her, the concubine pointed at her, but no one wanted to come up to help her.
"This little girl is a little familiar, where do you seem to have seen it?" A woman stared at her in confusion.
The concubine hurriedly pulled two strands of hair to cover her face and lowered her head slightly.
"Aunt Wang, it seems that you have really seen it somewhere!" Others chimed in.
Oh no, if they recognized herself as the person on the notice, she wouldn't be able to leave today!
At the thought of this, she raised her hand and bit hard at the man's paw.
"Ouch! The little girl still bites! The man shook his hand sharply, and the tooth marks on his hand were clearly visible.
The concubine took advantage of this opportunity, bumped into the crowd watching the excitement, ran outside, and kept looking back while running, only to see that the man also chased after him, but he was fat and ran very slowly, so he naturally couldn't catch up with her.
"Bang-"
The concubine bumped into someone, her neck was crooked, and the fine and dense pain made her almost breathless, as if her neck was about to break.
"Concubine!" It was none other than Jiang Yizhi who led people to look for her on the street, and when he saw that it was a concubine, he was surprised and delighted, and immediately hugged the concubine who was almost paralyzed.
The concubine looked up and saw that it was Jiang Yizhi, and pushed him violently, but she almost fell.
"Concubine! I'll take you back to the palace! Jiang Yizhi saw that his concubine was injured like this, his eyes were full of distress, he stepped forward and stretched out his hands, wanting to help her.
The concubine hurriedly took a step back, stood still, looked at him defensively, and shouted, "Don't come here!" ”
Jiang Yizhi had no choice but to stand still, his hands frozen in mid-air.
The concubine covered her neck, her face suddenly turned white, and even her lips were bloodless, she wanted to run back, but the wound on her neck couldn't help her from being so bumpy, she bent down in pain, and her mouth hissed involuntarily, and at this moment she really wanted to lie down directly on the ground.
"Concubine, concubine!" Jiang Yizhi strode forward, picked her up horizontally, raised his eyes and looked around, only to see a small hospital in front of him, he comforted his concubine: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to treat your injuries first!" ”
But at this time, the fat-headed and big-eared man had already caught up, and he shouted at Jiang Yizhi out of breath: "This little girl...... Be...... Uncle Ben took a fancy to it first! ”
"Take this man away!" Jiang Yizhi didn't talk nonsense to him, and immediately ordered the person behind him, and soon this person was escorted away.
Where is the concubine, when she thinks of going back, she will have to face her father, who values her life as worthless, she doesn't know where the strength comes from, struggles, slaps Jiang Yizhi, and shouts at the same time: "I don't want to go back with you, help!" Help me! ”
Jiang Yizhi didn't say a word, walked briskly, and let the passers-by around him point at him.
"Jiang Yizhi!" The concubine bit her whitened lip, and with one hand, she aimed the hairpin she had been holding at her neck, and shouted in a resolute voice: "If you don't let me down, I will die in front of you immediately!" ”
The officers and soldiers behind Jiang Yizhi had surrounded him, and Jiang Yizhi's eyes were already angry, "Why are you joking with your own life?" Concubine, you are injured, and now your face is terrifyingly pale, and you must take medicine immediately! ”
"I'd rather die than go back with you!" The concubine looked back at him, her gaze resolute.
