With Xiaobin taking care of her and four guards escorting her, Bai Yuxian should be safe.
Ye Fuxun looked at the direction where the sound went away, his expression becoming more determined.
"Princess, let's go too, the pursuers are coming soon." Qingyu reminded.
"Yeah." Ye Fuxun turned around and walked towards the official road on the right.
According to the plan, Xiao Bin took Bai Yuxian south, first detouring to Yuanzhou, and then heading east back to Dongchen. Ye Fuxun and others, in order to divert the pursuers, went directly east, creating the illusion of fleeing to Dongchen.
In order to successfully distract the pursuers, Ye Fuxun arranged for a guard to wear Bai Yuxian's clothes and pretend to be Bai Yuxian.
Everything was according to Ye Fuxun's plan. After leaving the city, the pursuers sent by the government were only pursuing her group.
Ye Fuxun tried his best to avoid the pursuers. After all, it would be best to escape smoothly. However, a group of more than a dozen people was too big of a target and attracted attention wherever they went.
After arriving in a certain town, Ye Fuxun decided to let the guards resume their identity as shadow guards, ordering them to spread out and follow them in the dark instead of protecting them closely.
Even the guard pretending to be Bai Yuxian was withdrawn.
As a result, she and Qingyu were the only two people traveling together.
Qingyu asked in confusion: "Princess, why don't you let Nineteen pretend to be the prince again? Wouldn't this make the pursuers suspicious?"
Ye Fuxun shook his head and said: "These pursuers only want to arrest people and make meritorious deeds, so they don't think so much. They must think that as long as they catch me, they can catch the prince. How can they have any doubts?"
Qingyu tilted her head and thought for a while, feeling that this was reasonable, and praised: "The princess still thinks clearly."
The two came to a small village in the countryside of the town and planned to stay in a farmhouse. It was located in a remote place and people rarely went out. Naturally, they didn't know what was going on outside. They couldn't recognize Ye Fuxun as the wanted person.
Safer.
However, there are no absolutes in this world, and there are always exceptions to everything.
Just when Ye Fuxun and Qing Yu had just found a farmhouse to settle down, a young man passed by and happened to see Ye Fuxun. He was shocked and almost screamed with excitement.
He immediately ran to the town to report to the official, but Ye Fuxun knew nothing about it.
When it was close to midnight in the evening, Ye Fuxun and Qingyu washed up and got ready to go to bed, but suddenly they heard a dog barking outside, and a man asked angrily: "Is there a man and a woman staying at your house?
?Where is the person?”
The person who asked the question was the county magistrate of the county where the town belonged. Apparently he thought Ye Fuxun was with Bai Yuxian.
The farmhouse was owned by an old woman who was over fifty years old. She saw so many people gathered in front of her house and was confused for a moment. "Master, someone did come to stay at my house today, but it was just two women, not a man."
one girl."
The magistrate snorted, pushed the old woman aside and broke into the house.
There were only two rooms inside, and there was only a woodshed and a hut outside. They searched them all, but no one was found. Because when Ye Fuxun and Qingyu heard the noise, they had already climbed through the window and escaped from the back.
"Sir, they must have escaped through the window, look!" a little soldier said, pointing to the window at the back.
Just when he was about to catch the prisoner and accomplish a great feat, he unexpectedly ran away again, which made the county magistrate very angry. "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and chase him?"
Ye Fuxun and Qingyu kept running out of the village after escaping, but they were not familiar with the terrain in this area. After leaving the village, they couldn't find their direction while running, so they could only keep moving forward.
.
It was not until dawn that the two of them discovered that they had arrived in a deep forest surrounded by high mountains and ridges, making it difficult to tell the direction from which they came.
Ye Fuxun was already exhausted. Upon seeing this, Qingyu suggested taking a rest first.
After taking a break, the pursuers behind him caught up. Qingyu could only drag Ye Fuxun and continue running.
The pursuers were getting closer and closer, but Ye Fuxun couldn't bear it anymore, and his speed slowed down a lot. The pursuers were scattered throughout the woods, searching everywhere. Finally, one person happened to see Ye Fuxun and the two running and shouted.
: "Found it, he's over here!"
Then the other soldiers were attracted and gathered together towards Ye Fuxun and Qingyu.
The two of them were finally forced to a cliff at the end of the woods. Below the cliff was a vast white fog.
"Princess, what should we do now? There is no way!" Qingyu said urgently.
Ye Fuxun looked back at the bottomless cliff, and couldn't help but feel his legs weakening. No matter how strong Qingyu's Qinggong was, if he jumped from here, he would still be dead.
The only way now is to surrender. "I have no choice but to follow them back obediently and then find a way to escape."
Then Ye Fuxun met Yu Xiuqi.
"Where is King Chen?"
"I've said it many times, I don't know."
"Are you going to be tough with me?" Yu Xiuqi glared at her fiercely and said, "Do you think that by protecting him, you can let him return to Dongchen safely?
Let me tell you, the Jinyuguan Pass that must be passed by to go to Dongchen has been occupied by the army of the Western Kingdom. Even if he had wings, he would not be able to fly there!"
Ye Fuxun's heart trembled, and her expression changed slightly, but she soon returned to her original state. She was not afraid to smile and said: "In this case, the emperor should instruct the soldiers at the border to guard Jinyuguan and capture King Chen as soon as possible.
That’s what you need to live in.”
Yu Xiuqi narrowed his eyes and asked again: "Don't be careless with me, tell me where is King Chen?"
"How many times have I said that I don't know the whereabouts of King Chen!" Ye Fuxun seemed helpless, "Brother, why do you think I was alone and was caught by the officers and soldiers? It's because I was caught by King Chen on the way.
Abandoned.
King Chen was in a hurry to escape, and I was a burden. He was afraid that I would delay his escape, so he left me behind shortly after leaving the capital. I am still very angry now!
Men are unreliable! Now I want him to be caught more than you do, so how could I possibly conceal his whereabouts?"
Yu Xiuqi saw that she was so angry that she looked like that, but intuitively, he always felt that this girl's words were not credible.
"Really?" Yu Xiuqi stared at Ye Fulun with a suspicious expression, as if he wanted to see through her heart, "I heard that you and King Chen have a very good relationship as a couple, and King Chen also loves her very much.
you.
If that's the case, how could he abandon you and run for his life alone?"
"Didn't I just say it? Men are unreliable. They usually treat you in every possible way, but when the critical moment comes, they won't care about your life or death.
Originally, I thought that King Chen was very affectionate towards me, haha, but who would have thought that this was just my own affection."
