Chapter III

Chu Cheng was about to go to the stable, but she heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves behind her, menacing, it would never be Li Siniang who went and returned.

She was alert, and seeing that there was nowhere to hide around, she hurriedly turned the window back to the inn lobby, and looked through the crack in the window.

A group of cavalry surrounded the inn, holding torches, and illuminated the surroundings as bright as day.

When he saw that the person who came was Huo Ying, Chu Cheng secretly said that something was wrong, presumably Huo Ying found something during the day, and turned back!

Huo Ying glanced at the big red sedan chair parked at the door, raised his hand and ordered: "Not a single fly is allowed to be released in this inn!" ”

It was too late for Chu Cheng to run, she looked around, rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth and ran upstairs.

Huo Ying did notice that something was wrong.

After leaving the tea house, his mind was always haunted by the movements of the cloth-clothed maid wiping his sweat, thinking and thinking all the way, but he really remembered it. Last summer, Princess Huarong once practiced swords, and it was the same, raising her left hand to wipe her right cheek, which looked uncoordinated.

Although such suspicions are very unreasonable, Huo Ying will never let go of any possibility.

The innkeeper hurriedly dressed himself and came out, asked about the situation, and learned that Huo Ying was an officer and soldier who was chasing Jiangyang's thieves, so he naturally didn't dare to stop him, and hurriedly went upstairs to wake up everyone in the guest room.

Yang La went downstairs in a daze, and before she could figure out the situation, she heard Huo Ying ask in a cold voice: "Today, during the day, where is the maid wearing a gray cloth skirt and standing next to the sedan chair?" ”

Yang La was stunned for a moment and pointed upstairs: "The third room of the word is keeping vigil for Mrs. ”

When Huo Ying heard this, he strode upstairs.

He came to the No. 3 room of the earth, listened attentively, and then pushed the door open with a "bang", and before he could speak, he heard a scream from the inner room through the beaded curtain: "Ah! There are thieves, come quicklyβ€”"

The bride in a big red wedding dress sat on the bed and covered her face and exclaimed.

"What are you yelling about?"

"It turned out to be the official of the day, you really frightened the slave family. But the official is majestic, even if he breaks into the slave's room in the middle of the night, the slave won't be angry with you......"

"Shut up!" Huo Ying scolded impatiently, he was an upright person, and he hated this kind of sycophancy the most, so he turned his back and didn't look at her: "Where is the maid next to you?" ”

Chu Cheng pulled the hijab to cover her face, tried to calm her emotions, and pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, sir, you asked right!" Just now, my maid didn't know what kind of wind she was pumping just now, and suddenly opened the window and jumped down! ”

After speaking, she raised her hand and pointed to the wide open window, and a gust of evening wind blew in, and her whole body was cold.

Hearing this, Huo Ying hurriedly rushed to the window and looked down, below which was the stable, next to a dense wood, leading to the mountains in the distance. Faintly, you can still hear the wolf howling.

Chu Cheng pretended to be scared and said: "It is rumored that wolves are infested in this area and bite to death several travelers passing by, I thought it was fake, but I didn't expect there to be wolves......"

"Relying on my ability to order three-legged cat kung fu, I escaped into the forest in the middle of the night, and I was dead!" Huo Ying slapped the window frame fiercely, didn't look at Chu Cheng, and quickly turned around and left in a hurry.

As soon as Chu Ji saw him leave, she hurriedly followed, her ears on the door to listen to the movement downstairs. After a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the inn gradually disappearing, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.

She still knows her master, knows what he likes and doesn't like, so she is too worried about herself, and when she hears that there is a wolf in the forest, she will not delve into the truth or falsehood.

Although Huo Ying left with a large group of people, he still left two to carefully search the surroundings of the inn. The two subordinates were also very conscientious, and they didn't say anything inside and outside the inn, but also examined the people present one by one. But because Chu Cheng is a bride, she was personally lifted by Huo Ying during the day and looked at it, so she skipped it and didn't check it.

After this toss, the sky is almost dawning.

Chu Cheng returned to the house, closed the door, tore off the hijab, and played with it in her hand.

Fortunately, she has a good ability to adapt to changes, and she has a thrilling and undangerous trick to pass the test overnight. was deceived by her like this, it is estimated that Huo Ying will be looking for this mountain for more than half a month.

Chu Cheng was proud of her trick of "moving flowers and trees", and suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and before she could cover her head, she saw Yang La break in with a "bang".

"Madam, you quickly clean up, the officers and soldiers downstairs-" Yang La's gaze froze the moment he saw Chu Hui.

Chu Ji was also stunned for a moment, then quickly covered her head, turned around, and scolded angrily: "If you don't knock when you enter the house, do you know what etiquette is?!" ”

Hearing this, Yang La came back to his senses, and his heart was pounding.

This Li Siniang looks really Peugeot...... No wonder it's twenty-seven, and you can marry three times.

She doesn't look old at all.

Yang La rubbed his hot face, but his tone was much lowered: "Madame, don't blame, Madame, I didn't see anything clearly." ”

"That's it."

Chu Ji resisted the idea of killing people, and besides, Yang La had clearly seen her wanted portrait, but he didn't recognize her, indicating that the portrait was not in any way similar to her.

Thinking of this, Chu Cheng's heartstrings loosened slightly.

She asked, "What did you say about those officers and soldiers?" ”

Could it be that Huo Martingale is back? She wouldn't be so unlucky, would she?

Yang La hurriedly said: "Those officers and soldiers are finally leaving, and it is already dawn at this time, so I came to inform my wife that we will leave immediately." ”

Chu Cheng said "um", indicating that she understood.

Yang Layu hesitated and said, "Then madam, you should clean up quickly, and when the weather gets hotter and hotter, you won't feel good." I'm just waiting downstairs, just call me for anything. ”

With that, he walked out of the room with his hands and feet.

Chu Ji saw his movements through the afterglow under the hijab, and the corners of his mouth curved.

As soon as the door closed, she walked to the window and tried to escape by jumping out of it. Unexpectedly, a few juniors in the inn were brushing their horses next to the stable, and she jumped down and was immediately discovered.

This time, Chu Cheng was embarrassed.

Huo Ying and his party were not too far away from her, she didn't dare to act rashly, she thought about it, she could only continue to play the identity of "Li Siniang" and see if there was a chance to escape halfway.

Chu Cheng put on a wedding dress, covered her head, and made sure that she was dressed properly, and then slowly walked downstairs holding on to the railing. This style of grinding and chirping is exactly the same as Li Siniang.

It's just that this time Yang La didn't complain impatiently, but intimately helped Chu Cheng lift the sedan curtain.

There were wilderness all the way, Chu Cheng excused herself and found that it was not suitable to escape, and only Yang Lan's horse had good foot strength, she endured the mood of seven up and eight times, thinking about waiting for the night to stay in the town, and then steal the horse and leave.

However, at night, Chu Cheng realized that she was wrong.

Couldn't be more wrong!

Yang La didn't know which tendon was wrong, and she usually ignored Li Siniang, but today she took the initiative to be courteous and quickly found two maids for her to serve.

Chu Cheng asked him what he meant, and he explained with a smile: "Madame Jingui, if there is no one around to serve, the adults will definitely blame me." Seeing that he was going to Qingyuan County in a few days, he happened to meet Renyazi selling these two girls, and the price was right, so he bought them for his wife. ”

"No need." Chu Hui's face hidden under the hijab was as black as the bottom of a pot, "I don't need it, just return them." ”

As soon as the words fell, the two girls cried and cried: "Don't, madam, please accept us!" If you return us, we'll be sold to Goolan Courtyard!" ”

"He Yuanwai, who is in his fifties in the town, wants to buy me as a concubine, but I don't want to be his concubine...... Madam, you are good, you are good. ”

Chu Cheng wanted to harden her heart and drive away, but when she heard the fate of the two, she couldn't bear it.

The two girls were thirteen or fourteen years old when they heard the crying, Chu Cheng waved her hand, frowned, and said, "Okay, don't cry." ”

"Madame won't drive us away?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's up to you guys to perform. ”

This sentence is completely perfunctory, Chu Cheng doesn't feel anything. But when the two girls were eager to feed her and carry her to walk, they realized that they had said the wrong thing again.

Serving tea and water, beating her back and rubbing her shoulders, the two girls had to sleep next to her bed, saying that they were waiting for her to send as soon as possible.

What kind of dispatch is this? It's clearly surveillance!

How can she run away with such intimate care?

Chu Cheng talked for a while, and the two girls slowly moved to the outside room to rest, but asked them to go to the next room to rest, and the two girls refused to die. As soon as they pulled down their faces and scolded, they sobbed and cried aggrievedly, and wanted to knock the two girls unconscious, but when they saw that their faces were thin and short, they couldn't beat them to death.

As a result, Chu Cheng was completely helpless.

As soon as the morning dawned, she continued to hurry, either taking the inaccessible path, or the lively town, the two girls took turns to keep vigil at night, and sometimes they could meet the forbidden army in the capital who searched for her, which can be described as terrifying.

After a few days, it has reached Qingyuan County.

But these days, Chu Cheng has also discovered the benefits of pretending to be Li Siniang, the more conspicuous she is, the safer she is, and no one would have guessed that her Princess Huarong was hiding in a sedan chair. Accustomed to comfort, he forgot that he was pretending to be the bride who married the county order of Qingyuan County, on this day, Chu Cheng was sleeping in the sedan chair Xiangtian, and was suddenly woken up by Yang La, telling her that she was about to be carried to Lin's house.

Chu Cheng was completely sleepy, and through the sedan curtain, the boss with a long mouth: "Won't you be too anxious?" ”

Yang La hurriedly went back to get the ten taels of silver, and said with a smile: "How come? There are no messy rules in Wangzhou, madam, when you come to Qingyuan County, you will go directly to our county prince's mansion to worship the church, so that you can stand on your feet quickly. ”

Chu Cheng didn't know anything about the marriage church, she was stunned for a long time, and she didn't know how to answer.

After a while, she asked, "When?" ”

"Now."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

She originally planned to go to Qingyuan County and find another opportunity to steal a horse and escape, but now that there are people on all sides, even if she has excellent martial arts, it is impossible for her to retreat.

Chu Cheng had no countermeasures at all, and before she could think of a way, she felt that the sedan chair sank and landed steadily.

The two little maids on the left and right opened the curtain for her, and said with a smile: "Madam, we have arrived at Lord Lin's house!" ”
