Chapter 122: Escape
We walked the path of the cold palace to the north, and everyone was busy putting out the fire, and no one noticed us.
I don't know what's going on, I always feel uneasy.
Xia Xiying prepared a boat on the other side of the river, and after we got on the boat, with the rippling waves, we really had to leave the palace.
The flames of Jinyun Palace soared into the sky, and even this side of the river was illuminated.
"We'll have to swim over to avoid being noticed, and you'll be able to swim over, right?" Xia Xiying asked while rowing.
I just stared at the bright sky, and my mind went blank.
"Su Jin?" She screamed.
"Huh?" I came back to my senses and quickly replied, "I know water." ”
She said helplessly: "Since it has been decided, don't recall, so as not to add to the sadness." ”
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound, I guessed it was the sound of Jinyun Palace collapsing after it was burned down. There is no Jinyun Palace in the palace of Beiyan, and there is no Jingui Concubine in the harem of Beiyan.
I think that the happiest thing at this time is the loyal ministers in the court, the demon concubine of the country will inevitably die, even if such a thing is recorded in history, it can make the officials of all dynasties happy.
In addition, Beiyu Jinchen should also feel at ease. He's always wanted me to leave, and now, he's got his wish. The word death is more convincing than fleeing to the ends of the earth.
Sigh softly, success is also Xiao He and defeat Xiao He.
The boat floated on the water, the smell of burning fire in the air, the fresh green grass by the river, and the aroma of the earth rippled on the water.
After traveling for an hour, he was about to reach the other side.
"I've got horses over there, and the carriage is too ostentatious. However, those horses were raised by peasant households, and their temperament was a little fierce, so we had to take a long detour to the pavilion, and it was estimated that we would have to climb over a mountain, but it was more cautious so as not to be discovered. She said.
"A fierce horse is a good horse, I guess we can stand this way."
We looked at each other and smiled, and there was a thrill of being reborn after the catastrophe.
"Su Jin, have you ever thought about what you should do if the old pavilion master dies?"
I brought the oars and sailed the boat without being fast or slow.
If Aunt Chongzi dies, the only person in the pavilion who is called the master is Xin Li. "If it's really that rebel's doing, I won't spare him."
"I thought you were going to kill him." She replied nonchalantly.
Kill him? It's my turn to make such a decision. "Everything we do is for Xin Li to ascend to the throne of God, if I kill him, I'm afraid the Night Pavilion will also be disbanded."
She was noncommittal, looking at the waves in the distance, and quietly did not speak.
Through the sky-high fire and gentle moonlight, I noticed that Xia Xiying had changed slightly.
In the prison before, she was abused, so she was thin and shapeless, and her small body was so weak that it felt like she would be blown away by a strong wind. Maybe she has recently had a good chance to recuperate in Jinyun Palace, she has gained some weight, her face is round, and she has a pair of big eyes with aura, which can be regarded as a beauty embryo.
"Oriole."
"Huh?" She was absent-minded.
"How old are you?" I'm going to pull off a topic at random.
She said: "Sixteen, I was ten years old when I entered the cabinet. ”
Sure enough, I am also an old man in the cabinet, I entered the cabinet at the age of fourteen, seventeen this year, and I will be eighteen in a few months.
"What people!" There was a roar on the shore, and we saw only a few dark shadows.
The heart is not good, I originally wanted to cross the river quietly and smoothly, but who knew that I would be discovered after all!
Xia Xiying stretched out her hand and pointed to the surface of the water, and I thought I would dive into the water as fast as I could.
Although the weather is getting hotter, in fact, the river is still cold to the bone. I held the edge of the boat in one hand and dived into the water.
Xia Xiying is the same, we maintain the principle that the enemy does not move, I do not move.
I thought they would leave after feeling that there was no answer, but who knew that they would also drive a small boat to investigate. In desperation, we had no choice but to swim to the nearest shore and leave.
Take a deep breath and plunge into the water, swimming hard towards the opposite shore. The other side is not very far from us, and we can reach it with a little perseverance.
The icy water soaked through the clothes and invaded the muscles and bones. I remembered who saved me the day when Moyin pushed me into the water to kill me for Nata, but unfortunately I was already unconscious, and I only remembered the man's long hair and sleeves fluttering in the water.
By the time I reached the other side, I almost felt like I was going to drown, lying on my stomach in the haystack and gulping for fresh air.
Xia Xiying was also tired enough, afraid that they would catch up, so we ran again, and fell many times during the period.
It took about a quarter of an hour to stop, and we couldn't laugh or cry when we looked at each other's embarrassed appearances.
"The horses are not far away, but fortunately I have some dry food and clothes with me." Xia Xiying was out of breath and slowly walked in front to lead the way.
Wet clothes stick to the body, and every step makes people feel uncomfortable.
"It's about to dawn, so we'll change our clothes and go to a nearby town to drink some hot porridge before leaving, it's a long way away." I was too tired to walk, so I had to consult with her.
"Okay."
As I was walking, I suddenly remembered what I was carrying with me and was startled. Quickly took out the sachet, fortunately the pills were sealed in a small porcelain bottle and did not enter the water.
Xia Xiying looked at my appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you say it was poison, look at you, what does the baby look like." ”
"After all, it's the only thing I've left. Although I said that it was poison, in fact, nine times out of ten it was not the antidote he said. For a cold-blooded and ruthless person like Beiyu Jinchen, everything he does has a purpose, and he won't give me the antidote for no reason. ”
Hang the bag carefully around your waist to make sure that you don't lose it.
She shrugged her shoulders and pulled out her glass hibiscus hairpin and held it up to me. The hibiscus hairpin was also rinsed with water, and the water droplets hung on it, lifelike.
"Oh, the thing will be returned to its original owner." She threw the hairpin into my arms and walked with a swagger.
I can't see through this girl anymore, but there is no doubt that her intelligence and character will be my right-hand man in the future.
……
The clothes on horseback happen to be two short men's clothes, which are smart and refreshing. After changing our clothes, we drove to an inn in a nearby town for a short rest.
At this time, the sky was already bright, the sun penetrated the clouds to the ground, and the whole strange town seemed particularly friendly.
"Two young heroes, do you want to stay in the hotel?" The shopkeeper said diligently.
"Two bowls of hot porridge first."
"Okay."
I sat at the dinner table, and before the meal came, sleepiness came.
"Little two, three upper rooms." The strong voice attracted my attention, and I looked to the side, and the men with big shoulders and round waists were dressed as chivalrous warriors, which were particularly eye-catching.
When he turned around, I couldn't help but be stunned.
These are the people who were instructed to arrest me at the Lantern Festival in Linzi Town!
