Li Xiaoqi shuddered, it can't be late tomorrow, you have to go out of the city gate early, wait for the eldest brother and them to go, the eldest brother and the four of them escaped together, but they can't hide it for a long time, maybe they will be found as soon as they leave the barracks, and they have to leave quickly. Li Xiaoqi took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and calmed down and calculated carefully.

Going to Changfeng Building? No way! This is about deserters, if you say it directly, the shopkeeper Zheng will not dare to help, if you hide it, if you turn around and affect the shopkeeper Zheng, it will be too much, go to the Lin family to find Lin Xiao? Li Xiaoqi secretly smiled bitterly, if she looked, Lin Xiao would definitely pack her and send her to Mr. Lin, she couldn't go, Li Xiaoqi subconsciously pinched the jade gourd hanging around her neck, this is also a useless thing, if she takes this jade gourd to beg the prime minister to let her four brothers become soldiers, it will be a joke, I'm afraid that if I go, it's just to listen to the words that the country is in trouble and the husband is responsible.

Tomorrow I still have to sneak out of the city by myself, Bodhisattva bless, tomorrow I will go out of the city safely, escape safely, and find another place with my brothers to live a safe and stable life.

I don't know when, Li Xiaoqi was woken up in a hazy haze, it was already bright outside, the morning glow passed through the window, shining on the bed, Shen Pozi was bending over, from the big camphor wood box at the head of the bed to find a long jacket of her own and a very strong and durable coat out, pulled Li Xiaoqi up, put the blanket on her shoulder, carefully fastened the strap below, pinched an old purse, stuffed it into the innermost bag of the quilt, tied the mouth of the bag tightly, and took twenty or thirty big money, and put it in the big pockets above the blanket, Tie the belt, and then pick up the jacket and put it on her body, while putting it on, she explained in a low voice: "Let's go, I just went out to pour the toilet, I have seen it once, there is no one around, there are more than three taels of silver in this purse, you take it, grandma still has, don't be polite to grandma, it's cold outside, wear more clothes, and get ••••••colder and colder day by day, sister, but be careful, hurry up." ”

Li Xiaoqi didn't have time to say more, nodded again and again, jumped out of bed, put on shoes, followed Shen Pozi out of the courtyard gate, quit Shen Pozi, looked around vigilantly, and walked quickly along the corner to the east.

Li Xiaoqi turned an alley, merged into the countless people who were busy getting up early, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, picked a few farmers who carried burdens and went into the city early to sell vegetables, followed closely among them, and walked towards Dongcheng, the largest vegetable market in Taiping Mansion is in Dongcheng, and most of the farmers who enter the city go there to sell vegetables.

After walking two or three streets in a row, Li Xiaoqi wrapped the long jacket outside, looked up at Changfeng Building not far away, and felt countless sadness in her heart, alas, next time she came here, I don't know when, and I don't know if I can go back to this Taiping Mansion, I have lived here for more than half a year, this prosperous and luxurious city, like the magic capital, is like a hometown in her heart.

Li Xiaomi's melancholy was dispelled by a burst of burnt flax smell, the roadside Yao Ji Hu Cake Shop was busy, and there were already more than a dozen Hu Cakes with an attractive fragrance on the long case facing the street, Li Xiaoqi swallowed her saliva, she was nervous and busy all night, smelling the fragrance of the cake, her stomach twitched, and she made a hungry grunt, the eldest brother They must have been sleepless all night, and then they fled all the way, they must be even more hungry, they must not dare to stop to buy things, but they are afraid that there is no place to buy them, Li Xiaoqi hesitated and slowed down, Cautiously turning his head around, he flashed out of the peasant who was in a hurry to pick vegetables, leaned into the corner next to Yao Kee Cake Shop, touched a handful of big money from his coat, and raised his head to greet the man: "Give me twenty Hu Biscuits." ”

The guy counted the cakes on the case, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "This little brother, wait a while, it's not enough here, there are still four left, just a while, just a while!" ”

Li Xiaoqi moved uneasily, nodded his head, and looked around cautiously.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to wait for a furnace of cakes, the guy folded the cakes one by one, tied them neatly with hemp rope, and handed them to Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi took the cake and held it in his arms, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just turned around, raised his eyes and saw Huang Yuanshan, Huang Yuanshan met Li Xiaoyi's gaze, jumped his feet and shouted excitedly: "Here!" Fast! Catch her! ”

Li Xiaoqi held the cake, ran along the streets and alleys, and ran with his legs, and he didn't care about the east, west, north and south, just look at where there were many people, and run there, except for the shouts and whistling wind behind him, he couldn't hear anything else, and he didn't dare to look back, his eyes only stared at the gap between the crowd in front of him, in the crowd, like a wicker fish, he couldn't get rid of the shouts behind.

Li Xiaoqi rushed out of an alley, rushed through the royal street, rushed into the opposite alley, swept the wind on the royal street just scattered the official sedan chair of the early dynasty, his brain turned fast, suddenly turned his head, rushed into the middle of the royal street, rushed into the middle of the four or five fast and slow official sedan cars, aimed at a few sedan cars to follow closely, through the sedan space, nervously stared at Huang Yuanshan and the two thugs who were looking around on the side of the royal street, biting his lip, carefully close to the sedan car, eager to melt into the middle of those entourage.

In a car not far from Li Xiaoyi, the curtain was lifted, a pair of eyes looked at Li Xiaoyi, after a trace of surprise, a piece of unexpected joy flashed, those eyes followed Li Xiaoyi's gaze, and then turned to the other side, lifted the curtain and looked at Huang Yuanshan and the three people who were staring at the middle of the royal street, with a trace of contempt flashing in their eyes, put down the car curtain, reached out and lifted the car curtain, poked his head out, and stretched out his hand to greet Li Xiaoyi.

Li Xiaoqi turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who poked out half of his head from the car in amazement, isn't this the middle-aged man who went to Changfeng Tower to eat with Su Zicheng, the prince of Beiping Kingdom, that day?! Li Xiaoqi didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly rushed into the gap flashed by the guards, ran to the car in two steps, first threw the cake in his arms into the arms of the middle-aged man, climbed the frame with both hands, kicked on his toes, and was anxious to climb in, his arm was weak, but he hung on the car moving slowly in embarrassment, the middle-aged man couldn't help laughing, and a guard behind him stepped forward half a step, reached out and grabbed Li Xiaoqi's arm, and threw her into the carriage.

Li Xiaoqi exhaled, and didn't care about talking to the middle-aged man, climbed to the other side of the car window, lifted the car curtains, and stared at Huang Yuanshan on the side of the street with a nervous face, I don't know if he saw that he got into the car, Huang Yuanshan and the two thugs were still stretching their necks, looking into the middle of the royal street, it seems, they didn't see that they had climbed into one of the cars, Li Xiaoqi stared for a while, and watched Huang Yuanshan and the two thugs rush into the alley across the royal street, only to let out a long breath and put down the car curtain, Turning around, he looked back at the middle-aged man who was looking at him with a smile on his face, leaned over and took the Hu cake from the middle-aged man's hand, hugged it in his arms again, and solemnly thanked: "Thank you, Mr. for slowing down your hand, don't thank you for your kindness, and you will have the opportunity to repay it in the future!" ”

The middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh again, and said while laughing, "I don't want your cake, don't be afraid." ”

The middle-aged man seemed to be amused by his words, shrugged his shoulders and laughed for a while before asking, "What's wrong?" Why are those people chasing you? You didn't give Hu Bi money? ”

"No, the city gate is on fire, and I'm the fish in the pond." Li Xiaoqi looked at the stubble and flax grains on the middle-aged man's precious brocade court dress, which were hooked by the hard edge of the Hu cake, and said with a smile, why is he woolen? Why, you say?! It's not for you Beiping to make trouble, Wu won't declare war, Wu won't declare war, and if Wu doesn't declare war, it won't be conscripted, if you don't recruit soldiers, the eldest brother and they won't be taken away, if the eldest brother is here, why are you so embarrassed? ! When he shouted, Brother Guizi punched and kicked, showed his might, and bit the lion candy himself, how refreshing it was to watch!

Now the eldest brother doesn't know if they can escape, in case only two or three of the •••••• four people escape•••••• Li Xiaoyi's heart swelled with a strong sourness and pain, a smile was condensed on his face, and he subconsciously hugged the Hu Biscuit in his arms, drooped his shoulders, and looked at the shaking car curtain with blank eyes. The middle-aged man's heart moved slightly, and he said in a low and gentle voice: "My surname is Liang, and I am a staff member of the Second Prince's Mansion of Beiping Kingdom, you can call me Mr. Liang, where are you going?" I sent you over, why did you come out alone? What about your brother? ”

Li Xiaoqi came to his senses, lowered his head and replied, "If it is convenient for Mr. Liang, he will send me to Tanqiao." ”

"Hmm." Mr. Liang leaned over and lifted the curtain of the car and gave orders, turned around, paid attention to Li Xiaoqi's expression and asked, "Where is your brother?" ”

Li Xiaoqi looked up at Mr. Liang and asked slowly, "How do you know that I have a brother?" ”

"Oh!" Mr. Liang raised his hand and touched his nose, and was surprised and embarrassed by Li Xiaoyi's question: "I heard the shopkeeper of Changfeng Building talk about it, and I just happened to hear it." ”

Li Xiaoqi glanced at Mr. Liang, and still answered his words: "My brother was conscripted to serve as a soldier, I heard that the concubine and the princess were beaten by others on the way home, and the concubine couldn't beat others, and the Beiping Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom wanted to fight for the concubine, so I arrested my brother and went to fight for the concubine." ”

"Oh!" Mr. Liang was sullen by Li Xiaoyi's words, looked at Li Xiaoqi suspiciously, and asked, "Then you are alone now?" Where are you going? ”

"Back to my hometown in the countryside."

"Is there anyone else in the house?" Li Xiaoqi lowered his eyes and did not answer, Mr. Liang raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of smiles, and his voice was more gentle and suggested: "Now you are alone, not to mention the dangers on this road, that is, to return to the countryside, even if there is no such thing as just now, this livelihood is also very difficult, your brother is a soldier, I don't know when I will be able to come back, alas, this soldier is a matter of nine deaths, the black hair leaves home and returns to the white head, I think, or you don't go back to the countryside, follow me to Beiping, and we will leave for back in half a month, I sent you to the Second Prince's Mansion on an errand, and with the Second Prince, it is very easy to ask for a background in the future, which is better than anything else. ”
