Chapter 399: I'm a Salted Fish in the Cold Palace (42)

But everything that should have been expected suddenly fell out of his expectations.

"Where's she?!" Ning Chi jumped like thunder.

The secret guard was miserable: "The minister has been guarding outside, seeing that the concubine Niangniang has entered the house, and has never come out at all, who would have thought that ......"

Ning Chi slapped his palm on the table fiercely: "Search!" ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered again: "Wang Dezhi! Find someone to detain the sunset! ”

He finally understood now, he thought that she was colluding with Prince Jing, but in fact, she had been a general for so long, how could she really be as scheming as she appeared?

From beginning to end, it was not her who was kept in the dark at all, but him rather than Chi.

From the moment she reported to her that Prince Jing was going to rescue her from the palace, she had already noticed that something was wrong.

The palace was heavily guarded, and even when she was still in martial arts, she didn't dare to say that she could communicate with people outside, but a little maid was able to meet with Prince Jing's people, if Prince Jing had such a great ability, how could he be handled by the emperor as he wanted?

She had already discovered that something was wrong with the whole thing, but she had always pretended not to know, pretending to have believed Prince Jing's people.

She was indeed waiting for an opportunity to escape from him, but this opportunity was never pinned on anyone else.

After searching for a while, the guards found the secret passage in the house.

Basically, all the houses have secretly cultivated such secret passages to prevent accidents.

It's just that the secret passage of the Wen family's old mansion is not in the study, but in the lady's house, which Ning Chi didn't think of.

Ning Chi took the torch handed by the secret guard with a cold face and entered the secret passage.

The passage was well ventilated, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the ground, and it could be seen that it had not been used for a long time.

By this time, two sets of footprints had been imprinted on the dust.

After walking for about a few minutes, a staircase appeared upward, and an iron gate was attached to the top of the staircase.

Ning Chi walked to the iron door and pushed it, but the door didn't move at all, and he was about to be blocked by someone from the outside with something.

On the other side, when Wang Dezhi took someone to the next person's residence to detain Xi Shi, he found that he didn't know when, Xi Shi was long gone.

Wang Dezhi didn't dare to delay, hurriedly went to the secret road, and knelt down in front of Ning Chi to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, the slave is negligent, and the girl is no longer there." ”

Hearing this, Ning Chi closed his eyes.

And sure enough...... Sure enough, everything was planned!

"Send someone to the city gate to search it! I'm going to get her back! ”

"Wow!"

.

At this time, the two fast horses had already left the city gate and went all the way south.

The two of them did not dare to stop a step more day and night, stayed in the ruined temple at night, and bought some dry food in the countryside when they were hungry.

The farther away from the Imperial City, the more smiles on the little general's face.

The air outside was fresh and sweet, and even Xi Shi's panicked heart stabilized.

On the third day when the two began to flee, the two of them were plastered with sea fishing documents along the way.

However, it is good to say that the soldiers searched as best they could, but the farther away from the imperial city, the weaker the intensity of these searches.

Especially in the smaller towns, there are not even a few militiamen.

After escaping like this for more than half a month, the master and servant finally settled in Qing County.

Qing County is a small county near the lake, with few people and few soldiers in the city, and it is peaceful.
