He was still dressed in black, and his whole person looked much colder, lacking some of the feminine aura that belonged to a eunuch.
Chunhe looked at him, somewhat puzzled and stunned.
Ming Lanruo looked at Xiao Qizi and whispered: "Don't call me Ming Fei. Just like Chunhe and the others, call me eldest lady."
She is no longer Shangguan Hongye's concubine.
Xiao Qizi nodded: "Okay, eldest lady, our boat can go down the river and pass through Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces very quickly. We don't have to go ashore, and we don't have to worry about the heavy pursuit of soldiers and the interception by the government on the road."
Ming Lanruo looked at him: "How come you were waiting at Yuncheng and then took us to take a shortcut to this boat?"
It really saves a lot of things.
Xiao Qizi said: "After the incident in the capital, according to the governor's instructions, I led people all the way out of the city, almost day and night."
"Later, I met up with the person who arranged the ship before the governor, just to catch up with the Ming Concubine, take you on the ship, and escort you to the three provinces in the southwest."
Ming Lanruo was in a complicated mood, but Cang Qiao had actually expected that things would develop to this point.
That man really plays every step of the way, and everything in the world is his chess game.
"Where are the others?" Ming Lanruo finally couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Qizi looked at her and smiled bitterly: "Slave, I don't know."
Ming Lanruo couldn't help but asked sharply: "Why didn't you know? Weren't you present when the palace changed?"
Xiao Qizi looked at the cold woman in front of him, her harsh words and imposing manner, and couldn't help but wince.
The eldest lady's aura is getting sharper and sharper, like a sharpened knife.
"The Governor finally stayed in Qingyun Palace with Lao He. Before the palace incident, the Governor asked me to leave the city and ordered me to find you and respond to you!"
Xiao Qizi cupped his fists.
Ming Lanruo took a deep breath: "Okay, what about Lao He? Didn't you receive any news all the way here?"
Although Jinyiwei and Dongchang were in chaos, many people ran away.
With Cang Qiao's temperament, unless he was really dead, how could he not make any advance arrangements?
Seeing this, Xiao Qizi could only bite the bullet and smile bitterly: "Miss, this servant really didn't receive any news."
After he heard about the palace coup, he had been inquiring about the governor through the former Dongchang and Jinyiwei intelligence networks.
But no one knew, not even any news from my father-in-law.
Ming Lanruo squeezed the whip in her hand, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and cursed viciously: "You bastard!"
"Miss, please be patient. Although I didn't get any news from the governor, I found that the black-clothed cavalry was missing."
Seeing that Ming Lanruo was about to go berserk, Xiao Qizi quickly threw out a clue that he thought was the most valuable.
Ming Lanruo was stunned, narrowed his eyes, and gritted his teeth——
"Those are the personal soldiers he personally trained. How could they disappear out of thin air, unless they are all dead!"
Cang Qiao, that bastard, he told her a lot of things, and she also knew that he would do something to Emperor Ming.
But he didn't tell her that the way he did it was so brutal. Afterwards, even the previous intelligence network didn't have any news about him.
It feels like death!
Now I heard that Tiqiu in black has also disappeared. Does that mean that he must still be alive...
Just, where are you?
Cang Qiao?
Ming Lanruo gently clasped her fingers on the side of the ship, looked at the distance, where the water and sky were the same color on the river, and closed her eyes.
…
"Xiao Qizi, do you really have no news about the governor?"
In the cabin, Chunhe stopped Xiao Qizi and stared closely at the expression on his face.
Xiao Qizi lowered his eyes and looked at her, sighing: "I really don't know. I fought all the way out of the capital at that time. If I had known, I wouldn't have watched the eldest lady suffer like this."
Hearing this, Chunhe sighed and smiled bitterly: "That's right. The situation is tense now. If King Qin ascends the throne as emperor, he will definitely hunt down people related to the governor."
The Governor originally had many connections because he was nine thousand years old and held the power of the government, so he responded to every call and the officials from all over the country followed suit.
Now that Nine Thousand Years Old is "no more" and has become a "conspirator", King Qin is the one who holds the most power.
To be on the safe side, it is normal that the previous news channels cannot be used.
Xiao Qizi looked at Chunhe and suddenly reached out and hugged her gently: "Sister Chunhe, you are safe and sound, that's good!"
Chunhe was stunned. The body hugging him was so tall, and he could even feel his strong texture.
She looked at Xiao Qizi blankly, feeling a little uncomfortable: "You kid...why did you suddenly..."
Xiao Qizi let go of him and lowered his head shyly: "I was just... too excited all of a sudden."
Chunhe looked at the blush on his face, smiled and patted his back: "It's okay, sister doesn't mind."
This little eunuch was probably a little excited after seeing his "relatives".
Xiao Qizi hummed slightly, his sharp chin touching his collar: "Yeah."
The three black-clothed Tiqiu not far away were stunned.
Is this shy little father-in-law the ruthless and decisive Master Li Xing who led his men to sneak out of the capital day and night?
What a hell.
…
Beijing
"Run away? There are so many people who can't catch a woman, but you are really capable."
In the Zichen Palace, a tall man in a bright yellow dragon robe stopped reviewing the memorials and looked coldly at the several generals kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Several generals clasped their fists in panic.
The new emperor was born as a general, and he showed both kindness and power, and he was decisive in killing. He was not the confused old emperor before.
Shangguan Hongye sneered: "Forget it, with your abilities, it will take some time to catch her."
After all, before he ascended the throne, he had people surround Concubine Ming's mansion.
As a result, when he entered Concubine Ming's Mansion in person, he found that not only her baby was missing, but even the servants in the mansion were only passers-by.
It can be seen that Ming Lanruo had no intention of returning to Concubine Ming's Mansion from the beginning.
He obviously knew that something big was going to happen in the capital, so he ran away in advance.
"The sea arrest order has been officially issued. The only way she can escape is by land or water. The land route is full of arrests by the government and local troops. I guess that my concubine will most likely choose the water route."
Shangguan Hongye said calmly and threw an edict in his hand to the generals below——
"Go and strictly inspect the waterways leading to the three southwestern provinces."
The general who received the edict asked cautiously: "How can your Majesty be sure that Concubine Ming will definitely go to the three southwestern provinces?"
Normally speaking, since Concubine Ming abandoned the convoy, she must have broken it into pieces and lurked around.
What if we go outside the customs?
Shangguan Hongye narrowed his eyes, looked at the edict on his desk, and whispered: "Of course it's because - I have the exact source of information, bring the person back to me unscathed!"
The throne is already his. Regardless of whether Minglan is willing or not, once she marries him, she is his woman!
"I'll take your orders!" Several generals took the order and retreated.
Shangguan Hongye said coldly: "Lingbo, ask someone to find out who responded to Ming Lanruo. If it is Cang Qiao's men, then we must continue to step up the search for all the information about Cang Qiao. We would rather kill him by mistake than let him go."
Pass!"
If Cang Qiao could arrange Ming Lanruo's escape in advance, he would have even more doubts about whether the demon in Qingyun Palace was dead or not.
