Chapter 41: Escape
Night is approaching, Tang Ruyan and the three of them disguised themselves before slowly walking towards the imperial city, the day after tomorrow is the Poseidon Festival, and tomorrow is just the right time to walk around the imperial city.
It was the Poseidon Festival in the Southern Capital Kingdom, and there was an endless stream of people from other countries to watch, and the three of them easily blended into the imperial city.
In the old imperial city, the wide stone streets stretched into the distance, and when you looked up, you could see the towering palaces in the distance. Tang Ruyan frowned slightly, although she had crossed over to this body, she had no impression of this place at all.
But—I always feel that somewhere, there is a strange feeling.
Nandu is located in the southern region, and it is the height of summer, but because of the coastal area, it is evening, and the refreshing sea breeze drives away the summer heat, but brings a trace of the humid atmosphere unique to the coast.
Poseidon Festival is coming, there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, and people in different costumes are walking around the street at will, talking and laughing. Tang Ruyan reached out and stroked a strand of long hair that was blown on her face by the wind, letting the refreshing sea breeze blow on her body unscrupulously, she enjoyed the gift of nature.
"Sister, come and see, these little dolls are so beautiful." Xiaohu stood excitedly in front of the roadside stall, looking at the various small dolls on the table with the remaining light, happy like a child.
Xu was infected with such innocent happiness, Tang Ruyan was a little helpless but also walked towards Xiaohu's side, and suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in her sight.
His body froze suddenly. Tang Ruyan paused, and Guo Jing, who was following her, immediately noticed her strangeness, and gently changed his sentence: "Childe." ”
Tang Ruyan came back to her senses, and looked in that direction again, but there was nothing, as if the figure just now had never appeared, just an illusion in her eyes.
No, it won't! Tang Ruyan shook his head slightly. She also recognized that person was turned into ashes, and she would never be wrong, the person she saw just now must be him, but what was he doing in Nandu at this time? Is it to participate in the Poseidon Festival in the southern capital, no, if you participate in the Poseidon Festival, you can come openly.
The two countries are on good terms, and in his capacity, he should at least enjoy VIP treatment.
But she believed in herself, and she was absolutely not mistaken. Jiang Ruixuan, you just turned to ashes, and I know you too. The hatred in Tang Ruyan's heart grew, and a trace of vicious light appeared in his eyes unconsciously, Jiang Ruixuan, the harm you gave me, I, Tang Ruyan, will definitely double it.
In the night, Jiang Ruixuan wore ordinary clothes and walked quickly through the street, and it had been two days since she came to the imperial city of the southern capital, but there was no news about her.
A big living person, just disappeared. Thinking of this, Jiang Ruixuan's face was extremely ugly, he had long been accustomed to controlling the development of the situation, but he fell hard in this matter. Tang Ruyan, you are ruthless enough, you remember what you did to this king, you had better never appear in front of this king, otherwise, this king will definitely make you regret what you did.
The irrepressible anger emanated from his body, and the temperature around him seemed to drop a little, and everyone who passed by him felt a chill sweep over his body.
Tang Ruyan was not mistaken, the person she saw was Jiang Ruixuan.
He was disdainful of receiving the holy decree that day, but Rong Feng suddenly appeared, saying that he found Tang Ruyan's figure on the way to the Nandu Empire, so he hurried here, and it only took three days to rush to the Nandu Empire, but two days passed, and there was no news of that woman.
How could he calm the anger in his heart.
Tang Ruyan, you remember this king. Jiang Ruixuan was indignant for the Nth time in his heart, and suddenly noticed a trace of indifferent gaze sweeping over his body, although it was instantaneous, he still noticed it, that gaze was so familiar, he would never forget it in his life.
He stopped, looked around quickly, but found nothing, could it be that he was feeling wrong? Impossible, Jiang Ruixuan has always been conceited, turned around and took a few steps back, his eyes like a torch, sweeping over every possible person on the street.
"Sister, this is so cute." Xiaohu held a doll in one hand and looked at Tang Ruyan with a bright smile.
Tang Ruyan, who was hiding behind Guo Jing's tall figure, was already in a cold sweat at this moment. It wasn't certain just now, but now she could be sure that she was not mistaken, the familiar figure she saw just now was Jiang Ruixuan, and- he also seemed to notice something, and was looking around.
Tang Ruyan didn't dare to show his head at all, although he didn't know why he suddenly appeared here, but as long as he saw her, he would not let her go easily. Even if she has to go back to face him in the future, it is by no means now, her affairs have not been dealt with yet, and she must not be found out.
People who practice martial arts have a keen sense, as early as when Tang Ruyan stood in front of him, Guo Jing had already felt the unusualness in the air, and the corner of his eye looked around, and in an instant, he understood where Tang Ruyan's uneasiness came from.
Jiang Ruixuan, unexpectedly again.
"Sister." Xiaohu didn't notice anything unusual, and there were only those dolls in his eyes that shone with excitement, until- "Hey, sister, why is there a cold sweat on your forehead?" Still so pale? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take your pulse. ”
If the eyes can kill, at this moment, Xiaohu must have died N times, really!! No eyesight.
Tang Ruyan rolled his eyes, he really wanted to swing his fist at this moment and stun this cute lively 'little rabbit', is this for fear that the world will not be chaotic?
Guo Jing was also very nervous, especially Xiaohu was still chattering, receiving Tang Ruyan's eyes, Guo Jing immediately reached out to hug Tang Ruyan, covered her under his tall figure, and glared at Xiaohu fiercely, "Go back to the inn first, the master is unwell." ”
It's a pity -
"Hey, why are you staring at me? These dolls are inherently cute, and only people like you don't have a little love. Xiaohu didn't give up, gave Guo Jing a glance back, and continued to turn to Tang Ruyan, only to find the strangeness in Tang Ruyan's eyes.
Forehead! Did you do something wrong? Xiaohu was quite puzzled, the feeling of wanting to stun her hit again, Tang Ruyan clenched his fists, and signaled the direction of Jiang Ruixuan with his eyes, Xiaohu looked sullenly at her gaze, and when he saw Jiang Ruixuan, the doll in his hand fell to the ground.
"The Fourth Prince."
This was not a small surprise, looking at Tang Ruyan and Guo Jing, seeing that there was obvious murderous aura in the eyes of the two, they couldn't help but shrink their necks. It seems that this time it was really a trouble.
Who is Jiang Ruixuan? As early as when Xiaohu called Tang Ruyan for the second time, he noticed their direction, but he only saw Xiaohu and saw that it was a fresh face, so he relaxed his vigilance a little. This was supposed to be a perfect opportunity for them to escape, but unfortunately Xiaohu's lack of eyesight, and in the end-
After Xiaohu called out the four princes, Jiang Ruixuan walked in the direction of the three of them.
Feeling that the familiar sense of oppression was getting closer and closer, Tang Ruyan was angry, and for a moment, she regretted very much that she had relented and agreed to take this simple and 'stupid' girl on the road.
No matter how simple it was, Xiaohu knew what trouble she had caused at this moment, and took a step forward to protect Tang Ruyan behind her, and at the same time reached out to her arms and waved a handful of medicinal powder at Jiang Ruixuan, who was already close in front of her.
Looking at Xiaohu's movements, Tang Ruyan's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and his jaw almost fell to the ground in astonishment.
Ah, to throw a handful in such a crowded place, now-I can't keep a low profile.
Reaching out and pulling Xiao Hu, who was about to raise the psychedelic powder again, "Don't run yet." Tang Ruyan almost gritted her teeth, I really didn't know what she thought at the beginning, and she would agree to take her on the road.
The sudden change made Jiang Ruixuan have to slow down his pace, and after waving his wide sleeves a few times, the soles of his feet quickly jumped up, stepping on the chaotic crowd below, Jiang Ruixuan chased in the direction where the three of them left.
That voice, although it was gritting teeth, Jiang Ruixuan was sure that it was the person he was looking for.
But—damn it! Jiang Ruixuan stood in the crowd, looking around, and actually let her run away again, and let her run away under his nose again.
Tang Ruyan! Jiang Ruixuan's face was extremely dark, and the hand hidden under his sleeve clenched his fists tightly, making a clicking sound.
"Who dares to make trouble here?" The guards of the southern capital country quickly came, because it was close to the Poseidon Festival, the number of guards patrolling in the imperial city naturally increased, because of the small lake, the scene was already in chaos, and many people fell to the ground.
The scene was chaotic.
Tang Ruyan, who was hiding under a desk, looked at a pair of cloth shoes in front of her, and kept covering her chest with her hands, for fear that those feet would suddenly kick over the desk above her head, and the clicking sound also made her heart rise to her throat for a while.
She didn't have the courage to challenge Jiang Ruixuan's light skills. Fortunately, it was her wisdom that changed her mind at the moment when Guo Jing pulled them towards that side, and the three of them would definitely not be able to outrun Jiang Ruixuan.
So – the most dangerous place is the safest place.
grabbed the arms of the two of them, and took advantage of the moment when the medicine powder blocked the view, and got under the table where the dolls were placed, fortunately, a white cloth was spread on the table, although it was shabby, but it was particularly important at the moment.
Guo Jing reacted quickly, and kept covering Xiaohu's mouth, Xiaohu was also rare quiet, his eyes were wide open, and he also looked at the pair of shoes in front of him motionlessly.
Jiang Ruixuan stayed for a while, and finally left angrily.
Tang Ruyan dragged the two of them to hide under the desk for half an hour before sneaking away from behind the desk into the crowd.
The three of them quickly returned to the inn, closed the doors and windows, and listened carefully to make sure that no one was chasing them, and then finally gasped for breath, as if they had experienced a life and death disaster.
Not as if, that's what it is.
"Xiaohu, it's time for me to think about where you're going." Pouring a cup of herbal tea into her mouth, Tang Ruyan looked at Xiaohu very seriously, not because she was ruthless, but because she was so excited to take this girl.
As soon as he heard this, Xiaohu immediately put on a look of wanting to cry, and looked at Tang Ruyan with teary eyes, "Sister, Xiaohu knows that he is wrong, don't leave me, please sister, don't leave me." ”
Tang Ruyan twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely. How can it be as if she bullies the weak? However, with a wave of his hand, Tang Ruyan said resolutely: "If you want to follow me, you must promise me one thing." ”
One thing? The tears in Xiaohu's eyes disappeared instantly, "Don't say one thing, as long as my sister asks me to follow you, it's a hundred things." ”
Xiaohu's voice became smaller and smaller, looking at the smile on Tang Ruyan's face, he always felt that his heart was bottomless. "That-"
"During the Poseidon Festival, you are not allowed to take half a step out of this inn."
"Don't!"
Tang Ruyan spread his hands, "You have no choice." After speaking, he didn't care whether Xiaohu agreed or not, got up and left, and didn't forget to give Xiaohu a bright smile when he walked to the door.
The expressions on Xiaohu and Guo Jing's faces froze instantly, and that smile was brighter than the stars in the night sky, making people unable to take their eyes off it when they saw it.
