Chapter Eighty-Three: I'm a Thief, But I'm Pretty Principled
"Then here's the question," Yuan Chengbi folded his arms leisurely, "how do we get to Mantou Cave?" ”
The palace gate of Chengye Palace is controlled by Jiang Yinong's people, and they can't leave here at all.
He Shenzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Take the waterway." ”
There is a river in the palace, which divides the entire palace into two parts, north and south, Jiang Yinong is not familiar with Luo Jing, and may not notice this.
He Yao picked up Jiang Yudi, and everyone took advantage of the night to cover up and hurried to the river.
It has only been a few autumn rains, and the river is high and the water is turbulent.
He Yao hesitated, "Sister, it's no problem for me to swim out of the river by myself, but Xiao Lizi is seriously injured, and if I take her to swim, she will definitely not be able to bear it......"
It was as if someone brought a pillow when they were sleepy, and everyone was trying to figure out a way, when a dark ship quietly sailed from the west.
Lang Jun in Tsing Yi and a golden hairpin stood at the bow of the boat with a lamp, and when the ship approached, it was Gu Zhuzhou.
"Lord Xiao Gu!" He Yao's eyes lit up.
Li Cai and Li Fu parked the boat on the shore, and Huo Xiaoqi answered them and quickly boarded the boat.
Huo Xiaoqi took a handle and helped carry Jiang Yudi into the cabin, "The spies of the Tiansi Judgment heard that you were in the Chengye Palace, and Lord Xiao Gu guessed that Jiang Yinong would come to chase and intercept you, so he asked us to prepare a ship to meet at any time-eh, this Jiang girl is not lightly injured, and she has to stop the bleeding quickly." ”
Although he was a man, he was also quite accomplished in medical skills, frowning to help Jiang Yudi retreat his wounds.
He Yao lit a few lamps for him, and said eagerly: "Can the little flute be saved?" ”
Jiang Li bit her lip and didn't dare to interject, tears fell silently, her eyes were red and she stared at Huo Xiaoqi, with a little expectation in her eyes.
Huo Xiaoqi was covered in cold sweat.
The wound was deep and bleeding too much......
He Yao saw that his lips were pursed and he didn't answer, so he guessed that the situation was not good.
Her gaze fell on Jiang Yudi's face, the girl's face was as white as paper, there were two faint blue and black shadows left under her eyes, and her breathing seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.
"Little Flute ......"
Her brows furrowed, unable to endure the oppressive atmosphere any longer, and she got up and left the cabin.
It's late autumn, and the oncoming night breeze is cool.
He Yao rubbed his cold arm.
He Shenzhu followed and put on a thick cloak for her, "Sui Sui......"
He Yao's delicate little face was shrouded in a layer of haze.
She hung her head, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and choked up: "Sister, if I hadn't insisted on taking Xiaodizi to escape from marriage, wouldn't she have died?" All of this I did was wrong, wasn't it? ”
He Shenzhu's face was always pale, "She entered the Prince's Mansion, and the ending was the same." It is said that the crown princess Chen was born in a big family, gentle and virtuous, but in fact she is jealous, cruel, and scheming. As far as I know, there are as many as eight or nine women who have died in her hands, and there are also imperial heirs who are stillborn. Jiang Yudi was poisoned by her before she entered the prince's mansion, and Jiang Yudi couldn't fight her. ”
He Yao was stunned.
The poisoning of the little flute at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, was it really the handiwork of the crown princess?
Thinking of Jiang Yudi, who was on the verge of death in the cabin, He Yao sobbed again, crying and threw herself into He Shenzhu's arms, "Sister, why is it so difficult for them to live well?" ”
I want to live well, I want to live with dignity.
But dignity and freedom turned out to be such precious things in troubled times, so precious that they needed to be exchanged for their lives.
He Shenzhu patted He Yao's back comfortingly.
He Yao finally cried enough, and whispered, "I'll go in and see the little flute." ”
After she left, Gu Zhizhou carried the lamp and quietly appeared at the bow of the boat.
He had just heard the conversation between the sisters.
He looked at the dark road ahead, the river was soupy, and there was no end in sight.
It's late at night, and it's still so long before dawn.
He suddenly said softly: "When He Er and I were trapped in the steamed bun cave, it was Miss He who used the people from Xianle Fang to rescue us, right?" Miss He is the confidant of the queen's mother, and Tiansi has never been on good terms with the queen's faction, so why does Miss He want to help us? ”
He Shenzhu's face did not change, "If I say that it is for my sister, will you believe it?" ”
"Naturally, I don't believe it."
From a long time ago, he knew that he and He Shenzhu were all the way.
They are the best of their peers, and they are equally good at calculation and planning, and they will not hesitate to work hard to achieve their goals until they are done.
They don't do useless work, and every move they make has a purpose.
He Shenzhu bent his lips, "Although you are the person who is judged by the Heavenly Division, and I am the person of the Queen Mother, but Lord Xiao Gu, as the so-called different paths lead to the same end, maybe you and I have the same wishes and beliefs?" ”
After she finished speaking, she said no more, and only looked calmly into the distant sky.
Gu Zhizhou clenched the handle of the lantern.
Same wishes and beliefs......
Could it be that what He Shenzhu asked for was also ......
He looked at He Shenzhu again, this woman seemed to be different from the queen's henchmen he imagined to help the abuse.
The wooden boat slowly approached the shore.
The Jiang family's pursuers did not follow, and the Gu family's carriage was already waiting here, picking everyone up to the Mantou Cave.
He Shenzhu and Yuan Chengbi had no intention of going together, and said goodbye to He Yao and others by the river.
The carriage was moving fast.
Finally arrived at the shore of the lake, tonight the lake is rarely covered with dense fog, the stars and moon in the second half of the night are dim, and you can see the prosperous and brightly lit island in the center of the lake.
He Yao and the others had just gotten out of the carriage when they suddenly heard a casual sneer.
A boy in straw sandals jumped down from the persimmon tree in a slow and orderly manner.
He wears a white fox mask and a wine gourd around his waist, which is Yuan Yu.
Yuan Yu folded his arms, leaned lazily on the trunk of the tree, and laughed stubbornly and scoundrelly, "I planted this tree, I opened this road, if you want to cross this road, leave to buy road money." ”
"Liangzhou thief!" He Yao gritted her teeth, "You're here again!" ”
"The master walks sideways in the north, and you Luojing also walks sideways, you can come, why can't the master come?" Yuan Yu raised his eyebrows, "Hand over the ginger pear, and I'll let you go to the Mantou Cave." Otherwise...... As far as I know, Jiang Yinong seems to be chasing you? ”
With a smile in his voice, he shook the cloud-piercing arrow in his hand menacingly.
He Yao knew that once the Cloud Piercing Arrow was released, the movement here would inevitably be noticed by Jiang Yinong's people.
When the time comes, if they want to secretly go to the Mantou Cave, it will be extremely difficult.
She grinded her little white teeth, "You-"
"Jade Flute!"
Jiang Li suddenly cried bitterly.
Everyone turned around, Jiang Yudi, who was held in Jiang Li's arms, had a miserable face as white as gold paper, his breathing was extremely weak, and his chest was almost invisible.
Jiang Li burst into tears, she desperately rubbed Jiang Yudi's gradually cold hands, trying to find a little body temperature for her, "Don't go to sleep, we haven't seen A-Niang yet, and we haven't gone to open a small restaurant in the downtown area, we haven't invited our benefactor to dinner, don't sleep over......"
She pleaded, but the person in her arms didn't react at all.
Huo Xiaoqi was sad, "It's too late......"
Even if there is no Liangzhou thief to stop it, take a boat from here to go to Mantou Cave and find Mrs. Jiang again, I don't know how much time it will take, Jiang Yudi will not last at that time.
He Yao suddenly stared at Yuan Yu.
Yuan Yu was stunned, and subconsciously took a half step back, "What do you think I do?" I'm a thief, but I'm still principled, and I didn't kill her......"
