Chapter 43
A way to escape
Although Leng Shuang refused to reveal Xiao Beiheng's affairs, Shen Yuexi still did not give up. She asked Leng Shuang sideways and asked her to piece together something from between the lines.
It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is not on the same side as the Emperor.
When Emperor Yongde usurped the throne of King Qi, King Qi put the overall situation first and respected him as his king. But this relationship must have been forged. If I don't deal with the emperor, how can he be his son?
In short, as long as the King of Qi does not stand on the same side as the Emperor, it will be fine.
However, she always had a vague feeling that Prince Qi was an extremely dangerous person, and she should avoid him if possible.
Although he saved her life once, he then changed his attitude and detained her. The changes before and after were really hard for her to accept.
On the one hand, she was grateful for his life-saving grace, but on the other hand, she was extremely disgusted by his forcefulness, which refused to resist and detained her for no reason.
Compared to Xiao Zhuo, this prince made her more wary.
…
Under the moon, in the Feng family in Daliang Village, Xiao Zhuo stood in the room with his hands behind his hands. He had not left as Prince Qi said.
"Master Pei, what should we do now?" Feng Zhang walked back and forth in front of Xiao Zhuo.
Shen Yuexi never came back, so he volunteered to go to the county town to inquire. When he arrived at the county town, he found Dr. Hua. Doctor Hua said that Shen Yuexi left with a doctor Lin in the afternoon and did not appear again.
He went to the inn where Dr. Lin was staying to inquire, and the waiter said that Dr. Lin took Shen Yuexi to a small courtyard.
As for the small courtyard, he was kicked out before he could get close to it. It was already getting late, so he had to go back to Daliang Village to inform Xiao Zhuo angrily.
If he had known that something was going to happen, he would have gone for it even if he was angry at that time. In this way, he could take care of the money, and the problem that happened to Mrs. Pei would not have happened.
Afraid that Xiao Zhuo would go if he couldn't bear it, he advised: "At this time, your portraits are all over the city and outside the city. Your wound has not healed yet, so you can't take the risk to save Mrs. Pei. When I go again tomorrow, I will tell you that I am Mrs. Pei’s eldest brother, that person can’t even be allowed to see you.”
Xiao Zhuo was silent for a long time, then turned and left.
Feng Zhang saw this and followed him. He was about to give advice again when he heard a voice from Xiao Zhuo: "No need, take your mother and leave here quickly. I have no use for the carriage anymore, so I will give it to you."
Feng Zhang stopped and looked at Xiao Zhuo's back blankly, not knowing what to answer.
Why was he suddenly asked to leave, and why was he asked to take his old mother with him?
What's even more outrageous is that they don't even want a carriage. What did Mr. Pei think? Didn't he say that he wanted to leave in this carriage?
As if aware of Feng Zhang's doubts, Xiao Zhuo added:
"My pursuers have arrived."
The voice was cold and solemn.
Feng Zhang originally wanted to persuade Xiao Zhuo, but when he heard what he said, he trembled all over.
In the past few days, I have been practicing martial arts with Mr. Pei a lot. Under Xiao Zhuo's guidance, I have made rapid progress, but if I really compare it with assassins and killers, I'm afraid they won't have enough heads to cut off.
He couldn't help but touch his neck and trembled all over.
When he wanted to ask questions, Xiao Zhuo had already closed the door.
Feng Zhang had no choice but to turn around and run to Feng's mother's house.
Xiao Zhuo returned to the house and his eyes fell on the thin bed, where the two of them had slept together in the past few days.
He walked over slowly. This was the first time the two of them were separated since their escape. Xiao Zhuo seemed a little uncomfortable. He just stood by the bed for a moment, then turned and walked towards the corner. It was a long sword, which was Shen Zhuo's. When Yuexi met Feng Zhang, she gave it to him for killing the tiger.
He walked over, picked up the long sword, and glanced out the window, with a cold chill in his eyes.
…
Shen Yuexi lay on the bed, turning over and over.
In this strange place, with a strange person next to me, I couldn't sleep at all.
She turned her head and glanced at Leng Shuang.
In order to keep an eye on her, this maid even slept with her. Fortunately, she didn't stare at her, otherwise she would have been unbearable.
She stared at the gauze above her head, unable to close her eyes. Then she turned around and looked at the window.
There was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that Xiao Zhuo would come to rescue her.
The shadows of trees swaying in the wind outside the window are cast on the window paper, flickering brightly and dimly.
Leng Shuang suddenly said: "Your family will not come again."
Shen Yuexi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a relaxed smile. So, it means Xiao Zhuo has come?
My mood got better for no reason. The unhappiness of being forcibly detained disappeared instantly.
She simply got up and sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at Leng Shuang, and asked: "How do you know my husband won't come? When did he come?"
Leng Shuang still had her eyes closed, as if she was sleeping but not asleep.
In order to find out the news about Xiao Zhuo, Shen Yuexi simply reached out and pushed her.
"Stop sleeping and tell me quickly."
Perhaps because he was annoyed by the question, Leng Shuang turned around and said with a cold face: "At dusk, there was a man who claimed to be Feng Zhang and came here."
Then what?
Shen Yuexi opened her eyes dryly, waiting for her next words, but suddenly there were no words.
After Leng Shuang finished speaking, she turned around and ignored her.
The joy in her heart turned into deep disappointment. She thought Xiao Zhuo was coming, but it turned out to be Feng Zhang.
She sighed deeply in her heart and fell back on the bed, her originally clear eyes obviously dimming.
It turned out to be Feng Zhang, but it made sense after thinking about it. Xiao Zhuo would never throw himself into a trap. After all, she and Xiao Zhuo had just escaped together before, and their relationship was not so good that they would risk each other's lives to rescue them.
Therefore, if you want to escape, you still have to rely on yourself.
If you are lucky and run out, Xiao Zhuo will probably have left by the time you return to Daliang Village. Since he won't come looking for her, he won't wait there.
No matter how they parted ways, she didn't want to go to a poor place like Northern Xinjiang anyway.
She got up and got out of bed.
Leng Shuang immediately opened her eyes and got out of bed.
"I can't sleep, don't worry about me." She said coolly to Leng Shuang.
I'm in a bad mood, and now I'm too lazy to maintain superficial courtesy with Leng Shuang.
She walked slowly in the house, her mind racing, thinking about how to escape from here.
Just use the universal maker to make something to help you escape.
First, you have to leave this room.
The door to the room was locked from the inside, and the key was kept by Leng Shuang. But this little thing couldn't trouble her.
"I need to go to the toilet." Shen Yuexi blurted out.
Leng Shuang stood next to her, looking unbelieving. Seeing the hesitation on her face, Shen Yuexi said pitifully: "I ate too much at night. It should be better to go to the toilet."
"I'll go with you." Leng Shuang said, taking out the key and unlocking the door.
The two of them left the room and walked along the corridor to the toilet. Shen Yuexi saw Leng Shuang and had no intention of stopping. Was he going to follow her in?
When she thought about that situation, she felt bad. She even had to go to the toilet, so how could she run away?
"I don't like people looking at me. It's convenient for you to wait outside."
Leng Shuang was obviously in trouble, but Shen Yuexi ignored her and quickly slipped into the latrine with her belly in her arms.
As soon as she arrived at the hut, she straightened up and took a look outside.
Leng Shuang stood there with his back to her, but did not follow her.
The opportunity has come.
