Chapter 64: Escape

His eyes fell on her, and he could see her clearly by the bright light, dressed in gauze clothes, like the most dazzling peach blossoms blooming in spring, although there was no hairpin ring on his head, but there was cinnabar between his eyebrows.

In the pearl-like eyes, I don't know how many thoughts are entangled, although they are no longer as clear as water, they are still black and clear, reflecting the bright lights in the house.

Gu Jue looked at her coldly, "You are just a prisoner now, how can you deserve such good clothes." ”

Yu Zhiyan looked at the empty wine glass, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, why he hadn't fallen down for so long.

She smiled coquettishly, so delicate that she could shine the candle flame several times, "I thought Donglang would like it." ”

But Gu Jue's eyes became more and more foggy, like a faint mist, he kept rubbing his suddenly beating temples, and staggered back a few steps.

His eyes fell on the wine glass on the table, "What's in it?" ”

Yu Zhiyan walked over slowly, her slender skirt dragging on the cold ground, and she slowly walked into Gu Jue, "Don't touch the wine general in the woman's hand in the future, maybe you will lose your life because of it." ”

The strong effect of the medicine slowly came up, and Yu Zhiyan watched his eyes slowly close, and the whole person fell to the cold ground.

The room suddenly fell silent, and only the crackling sound of the fire on the candlestick could be heard, like the tension of Yu Zhiyan.

She reached out to search for Gu Jue's body, and sure enough, she found a dagger in his arms.

With a "brush", she pulled the sharp dagger out, and the cold light refracted on his resolute face.

Yu Zhiyan aimed the tip of the knife at his neck, and as long as he went down, everything was over.

She stabbed hard, and at the last moment, she stopped.

The man lying on the cold ground, his lips closed and his eyebrows furrowed, as if he was trying to hide the endless pain.

She couldn't help but think of the day she got married, and the expression on his face was the same, and the tragic death of both his parents that day was caused by her.

Drops of tears slowly fell down her pale cheeks, and a sadness rolled in her quiet heart, and the cold tears were as smooth as water.

She thought she would kill him without any scruples, but in the end she couldn't bear it.

With trembling hands, Yu Zhiyan took the sharp dagger from his neck and put it back into its scabbard. Then slowly dragged Gu Jue's body onto the bed.

It took a lot of effort for her to get him up, and then slowly unbuttoned his robe until a large part of his chest was exposed.

She only felt that there seemed to be something hard in his robe, and she took it out and looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief, the token she had been rummaging for a long time just now was actually hidden here by him.

Yu Zhiyan was busy with all this, she was already tired and sweating, she went to the dressing mirror to deliberately mess up her hair, then poured all the wine on the table on Gu Jue's body, and finally slowly walked to the door.

She said loudly, "The general is drunk and vomiting all over her body, and you still don't call for someone to bathe and change her clothes." ”

The guards outside heard this, and hurriedly called four maids from the house to come into the house to serve.

Yu Zhiyan saw that they were very familiar with cleaning up for Gu Jue, so he called one of the maids who looked similar to him to help him comb his hair.

Yu Zhiyan sat in front of the bronze mirror, and the maid asked respectfully, "What kind of bun does Madame want to comb?" ”

"It's just like you." Yu Zhiyan glanced at her bun as if carelessly, and then said, "Put your wooden hairpin on me too." ”

The maid only felt that this matter was a little weird, and said respectfully: "The slave maid's thing is very cheesy, how can it get into the eyes of the lady, the slave and the maid will go to tell Mrs. Shi to pick a better one for you." ”

Yu Zhiyan snapped, slapped his thin white palm on the table, and then pretended to be coquettish, "What I like, even the general let me, what are you, dare not give it." ”

The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly kowtowed to admit her mistake, and Yu Zhiyan sneered and asked her to get up. This time, she didn't dare to criticize again, and only respectfully combed Yu Zhiyan with the same bun as herself.

After she got it done, Yu Zhiyan slowly stood up, only to see her stumbling under her feet and almost falling.

The maid hurriedly stepped forward to help, but saw a cold light flash in front of her, and a sharp dagger against her thin white neck.

"Take off your clothes for me." Yu Zhiyan's voice was cold, with endless killing intent.

The maid trembled with fright, but took off her clothes. Then Yu Zhiyan ordered her to tie herself up, and then she gagged her mouth with a strip of cloth.

Yu Zhiyan put on the maid's clothes, and after all this, his face was full of cold sweat.

She faintly heard the sound of water coming from behind the screen, presumably Gu Jue was about to finish bathing. She took a deep breath, picked up Gu Jue's shirt that had fallen on the ground, and walked out the door.

"Stop." A cold voice came, "What are you going to do?" ”

The guard at the head came over very alertly, a cold chill on his iron armor, and the sword on his body made a sound of metal grinding with his steps.

Yu Zhiyan lowered his head and said respectfully, "The general's clothes are dirty, and the slaves and maids will take them and hand them over to wash." ”

The guard reached out and lifted his clothes full of wine, and the smell of wine overflowed.

Yu Zhiyan's hand holding the clothes trembled violently, and a coolness ran down her toes and went straight to her heart. Her heart was pounding as if it were hanging over her chest.

It seemed like a long time, and it wasn't until she heard the guards tell her to go that she felt like she was slowly regaining her breath.

This Liu Tingshi really helped her a lot, it turned out that Gu Jue's soldiers were all invited by him to drink, and the only ones guarding the door were those wine bags and rice bags in his house.

At this time, the banquet had dispersed, and the cars of those dignitaries and nobles who came to flatter were parked outside the mansion gate, and Yu Zhiyan easily mixed out of the mansion.

Yu Zhiyan came to the street, but saw that there were few people on the street, except for those lanterns swaying in the wind, who were drunk and stumbling.

At this time, the sky was extremely gloomy, and Yu Zhiyan slowly walked into the alley, but saw a beggar lying on the cold ground asleep.

And what was next to him was a dirty robe, which had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, and it emitted a foul smell.

Yu Zhiyan gritted his teeth, and then reached out to grab the robe, but the beggar who was asleep woke up, but he didn't expect to steal it from his head, and he couldn't help but shout and scream.

She grabbed the robe and ran until she had run two streets, then found an inconspicuous place to change the dirty robe.

Then she grabbed a few more handfuls of dirt and wiped it on her face.

She knew that she must be smelly and dirty at this time, and others would not pay attention to her at all. She thought about it for a long time, but decided to hide on the street in front of the Assassin's Mansion, because only there can you clearly observe every move in the mansion, and the most dangerous place is the safest.

Yu Zhiyan thought of this, so he turned back.

However, as soon as she went, she saw that there were already heavy soldiers in front of Liu Tingshi's mansion, and the soldiers who were still drunk and dreaming of death were found in a hurry, and some of them were drunk and did not wake up, so they directly poured cold water on them.

At this moment, a voice full of anger came out of the mansion, and all the soldiers were silent. Yu Zhiyan was far away, and he could almost feel the anger exuding from the man's body at this time.

Yu Zhiyan also knew how angry Gu Jue should be at this time, thinking that a shrewd person like him was deceived by a weak woman like her.

She hid on a street corner and covered herself with the weeds she had picked up.

It wasn't until she watched the rows of soldiers go down the street, rushing into the courtyards of each house one by one, that the originally silent night suddenly became restless.

In the darkness, a few soldiers with torches slowly came towards her, Yu Zhiyan nervously closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, while the guard only covered his nose and cursed and left.

Yu Zhiyan's gaze kept falling on Gu Jue's body, he rode a horse, wandering the streets, listening to the soldiers who were searching for them coming back one by one.

And Yu Zhiyan was right in front of his eyes, but he didn't realize it.

It wasn't until the sky was slightly brighter that Yu Zhiyan saw those guards return to the Assassin's Mansion, and Yu Zhiyan knew that Gu Jue should leave.

Because he can't delay his trip because of a fugitive, he still has to return to Beijing,

Yu Zhiyan's heart gradually relaxed, and sure enough, when the sky was bright, Yu Zhiyan saw Haohao Tangtang's army leave the city, and the people in the prisoner car seemed to hear Yu Zhiyan's escape and became more and more frightened.

Yu Zhiyan quietly followed the convoy, and when she stood at the door and saw Gu Jue's horse stepping out of the city gate, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The only thing she did was to find a place to hide and sleep.

She had been nervous all night, she was really tired, and she found a haystack on a street corner. I fell asleep without any scruples.

In her sleep she was stoned several times by children, and then driven several times, until the evening, when it was time for her to leave the city.

Yu Zhiyan knew that Gu Jue could not let himself go easily, and naturally there would be people in the city who would continue to arrest him. Only when the city gate is closed, when there are many people, can I have a chance to get out.

Thinking so, she grabbed two more handfuls of dirt and wiped them on her face, and then deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid, and staggered to the city gate.

When she came to the gate, she found a lot of people lined up, and the guard carefully checked them one by one, and still held a portrait in his hand.

Yu Zhiyan knew that the portrait was herself.

At this time, a child with a sweet potato in his hand looked at her crazy and very disgusted, and reached out and smashed the sweet potato in his hand on her body.

Yu Zhiyan looked at the sweet potatoes that fell on the ground, which were full of dust, but she still picked them up and gnawed on them with a big gulp, while "giggling".

Those in line involuntarily stayed away from her, and then covered their noses, their faces full of disgust.

Finally, it was Yu Zhiyan's turn, and she walked over slowly, and the guard only swept her face, and then looked at the portrait in his hand.

Yu Zhiyan suddenly laughed, his teeth were full of sweet potato dregs, and he looked very disgusting.

"Get out." The guards didn't bother to look at her.

Yu Zhiyan pretended to be frightened, and slowly walked along the surging of the city gate, only five steps, four stepsβ€”

At the last moment, a sword with a chill slammed into the iron gate, and the solid iron gate was poked into a hole in an instant.

She almost instinctively turned her head to look, but saw several figures slowly walking in the distance, led by a dark shirt, with cold eyebrows.

Yu Zhiyan instinctively wanted to run, but before he could raise his feet, he heard Gu Jue's warm voice from behind him, "Next time, General Ben's arrow will shoot through your head." ”

She looked at the arrows on the iron door and closed her eyes a little dejectedly.

But Gu Jue slowly walked in front of her and said in a contemptuous voice, "Do you know how General Ben found out about you?" ”

She opened her eyes and asked, "Please also ask the general for advice." ”

Gu Jue suddenly laughed, but his smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "Which beggar would have such beautiful shoes, it's really stupid." ”

Yu Zhiyan looked down and realized that he was still wearing yesterday's shoes, the upper of which was embroidered with a pattern of a mandarin duck playing in the water, and the eyes of the mandarin duck were inlaid with gemstones.

It turned out that she was covered with a robe when she was asleep, so she didn't notice it at all.

Yu Zhiyan regretted that he was not at the beginning, but sneered: "The general has obviously left the city, why did he come back to arrest me." ”

He reached out without scruples to wipe the black mud on her face, and his voice was cold, "No one has ever dared to tease me like this, you are the first, I will definitely make you pay." ”

The mud gradually dissipated, revealing Yu Zhiyan's extremely beautiful face, "You kill me." ”

Gu Jue reached out and touched her body, and soon found the token and dagger she had hidden on her body. He pulled out his dagger, the sharp tip of the knife aimed at her throat, "What's the point of killing you, I'll have time to clean you up in the future." ”

Yu Zhiyan was tied to the horse's back by them and chased in the direction of the capital, and when they arrived, it was already dark, and there were faint bird calls and wolf roars in the woods.

By this time the soldiers had set up camp, torches were planted in tents, and the captives were tied together, one by one wailing.

When Yu Zhiyan was sent to the tent, Lin Caohua was drinking porridge with a bowl, but it was only a few days' work, she had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were no longer as delicate as before.

She saw a man being pushed in by the guards, still wearing a dirty shirt and hair as unkempt as weeds, and she couldn't help but put down the bowl in fright, and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

Yu Zhiyan sighed, "It's me." ”

She was stunned when she heard Yu Zhiyan's voice, and it took a long time to recognize her, she stepped forward excitedly and grabbed Yu Zhiyan, "Don't you know how to escape?" How was it caught. ”

"It didn't work." Yu Zhiyan smiled helplessly, "It seems that I will suffer in the future." ”

Lin Caohua sat on the ground dejectedly, her eyes full of tears, "I want to seal the phoenix, do you think he will come to save us." ”

Yu Zhiyan glanced around, then lowered his voice and said, "Tell me, where did my child and Feng Huang go?" ”

Lin Caohua's eyes were full of nervousness, and she looked at Yu Zhiyan, "I really don't know that your child must have been sent away by Feng Huang." ”

"Then you must know the whereabouts of Feng Huang, tell me." When Yu Zhiyan heard her words, she could clearly know that if she didn't know that Feng Huang had taken away her child, she must know where Feng Huang had gone.

"I'll tell you." Lin Caohua stood up and glanced around the tent vigilantly, and then lowered his voice very low, "Just half an hour before Gu Jue came to raid the house, a few people came to the Nan'an Palace, and then the prince followed them in the study. ”

Yu Zhiyan's heart tightened suddenly, "And then?" ”

"I was originally looking for His Royal Highness the Prince to see that there was someone in the house, so I didn't dare to go in, and I vaguely heard someone say something about the crown princess." Thinking about it at this time, Lin Caohua's eyes were still full of horror, "Then the sound of a sword came from inside the house, and when I hurried there, I saw that there was no one inside." ”

Yu Zhiyan clenched his fists tightly, "I think there is a secret passage in that book, and the prince was brought out by them from there." ”

When Lin Caohua heard this, she held her hand nervously, "Is that Feng Huang alive or dead, and who is the person who took him away?" ”

Yu Zhiyan took a deep breath, "It's the princess's person, although she married to the East Palace, her mind is all on Feng Huang." That's fine, at least the son of the world is safe for now. ”

Lin Caohua then remembered, no wonder she was so attentive to her when she entered the palace that day, thinking that it was because she had a difficult old love for Fenghuang.

I'm afraid that even the gift she gave herself is weird.

While the two men were talking, the door of the tent was slammed open, and a guard came out with vigorous steps, and then pointed at Yu Zhiyan and said in a cold voice, "The general told you to wipe the horse." ”

Yu Zhiyan knew that Gu Jue would not let him go easily, so he had to follow him resignedly. There are hundreds of horses, and she is only allowed to wipe them alone, what is it if she doesn't deliberately make things difficult.

The horses, who had been walking for a day, were grazing by the river very leisurely, and Yu Zhiyan carried wooden barrels to wipe them one by one.

Some of the horses were so frightened that they almost kicked her with their hooves several times, but she simply dodged.

When Yu Zhiyan rubbed one of the horses, the horse was chewing grass and was suddenly frightened, and its hooves suddenly stepped on Yu Zhiyan's lower abdomen.

Her thin body could not withstand such a toss, and the man staggered back two steps, and then fell to the ground.

The black water in the bucket also sprinkled on her body, and her tired and thirsty body could no longer bear it, and finally fainted.

The man standing far away by the river clenched his fists violently, and he kept telling himself that this was just the play of the hypocritical woman, who was the most powerful, and always easily touched the man's heart.

Gu Jue has been standing here for a long time, and he has seen everything just now.

Until half a pillar of incense had passed, the thin body was still lying there, motionless, as if it was a piece of dead wood, as silent as death.

At this time, the guard beside Gu Jue said, "General, do you want to wake her up." ”

Gu Jue's eyes finally had a hint of complexity, he ignored the guard, and slowly walked to Yu Zhiyan's side.

The long grass almost buried her thin body, and the green silk on her head was intertwined with the rich turquoise grass, which looked poignant.

He kicked her skinny back with his toes, and then said coldly, "Don't pretend, get up." ”

But she didn't move, like a dead thing.

He was in a state of sorrow, and hurriedly turned her over, but saw that her little face was pale, her long eyelashes were constantly trembling in the wind, and her lips were also bruised.

Gu Jue picked her up and walked in the direction of the tent.

The guards seemed to be used to this, and they were no stranger to all this.

Soon the doctor came, and then he took the pulse, only saying that he was overworked, and his body was fine, and the kick injury on his body was not a big problem.

Hearing this, Gu Juexin finally let go, and then let the doctor go, and let his subordinates bring clean clothes.

He took off her wet, stinking shirt and changed her into a clean one. At first, his movements were very savage, and she seemed to feel it, her brows furrowed, and she looked very uncomfortable.

And in the end, his movements slowed down, and her brows gradually relaxed.

Until she changed her clothes, Yu Zhiyan hid in the futon like a cat, she was really tired, and even her breathing was so heavy.

Torches burned in the house, and their faces were brightly lit by the fire that had been extinguished.

In a trance, his wide palm landed on her palm-sized little face, and his fingers slowly rubbed as if she were a piece of jade.

"Why didn't you do it that day?" There was complexity in his voice, "If you stab us, we're all over." ”

In fact, he was still a little conscious when she stabbed him with a knife that day, but at that time he didn't want to hide, but hoped that she could really kill himself.

But she still stopped at the last moment, no matter how shrewd he was, he couldn't guess why she let herself go.

It seemed that everything was no longer important, Gu Jue's sleepiness gradually came up, he lay directly beside her, and slowly fell asleep.

In a trance, she was like a well-behaved cat, burrowing into his arms.

When Yu Zhiyan woke up, the sky was already dark. Her eyelashes flickered, and she looked at the tent in a bit of confusion.

In a trance, she remembered that she had been trampled on by a horse, and then she was in pain to death, and then she fainted. But she vaguely heard the sound of heavy breathing in her ears, and she couldn't help but feel a tightening.

As soon as Yu Zhiyan turned her head, she saw Gu Jue's angular face, his eyebrows stretched, and there was no longer that anger and yin owl on his face, which made her see the original Donglang in a trance.

He seemed to be disturbed, and slowly opened his eyes, and there was gradually a trace of fog in his eagle-like eyes.

Yu Zhiyan realized that the clothes on her body had been changed, and she thought that Gu Jue had changed them for herself, because the strap of her belly pocket was tied awkwardly, which made her very uncomfortable.
