Xie Yao asked Wu Feng to bring Ling Yue back and took Ling Yue out of the palace again.
This time, Ling Yuexue was smarter. Although he was still full of doubts in his heart, he didn't ask or say anything. He just followed Xie Yao obediently. If he didn't look carefully, he would be regarded as a servant.
Xie Yao was a little surprised by Ling Yue's performance. After getting on the carriage, she deliberately asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will take you out again and lead that person to show up?"
"You said yesterday that he had already asked you to meet, so there is no need to use me to lure him out." Ling Yue's answer was very calm, just like the first time.
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, is her IQ online?
"Do you believe me when I say it? Have you ever heard the sound of someone throwing a note?" Xie Yao said again deliberately.
"You don't need to lie to me. If you say it, I will believe it." Ling Yue changed from yesterday's excitement and is now very calm.
That night, she barely slept, and she kept thinking about one question: Will Xie Yao hurt him?
After thinking about it all night, the answer I came to is, no.
Before, she preconceived that Xie Yao would be detrimental to him, so she tried her best to stop him, but yesterday Xie Yao's words of "fellow countryman" made her start to doubt.
Two people in different places are indeed from the same hometown, so how can they hurt each other?
Xie Yao felt the change in Ling Yue, so she stopped teasing her and said seriously: "He made an appointment with me to meet by the Sibei River outside the city at noon."
The current of the Sibei River is so fast that as long as you jump in, you will disappear in an instant, leaving the pursuers helpless. Although many people drown every year, death is not certain for those who are good at water.
At the beginning, she had jumped over the Sibei River and got rid of the people who were chasing her.
"Yeah." Ling Yue nodded without any unnecessary reaction.
She had already guessed that he would meet Xie Yao. And it had nothing to do with her, just because of the word "fellow countryman".
Seeing that Ling Yue was much quieter today, Xie Yao said nothing more.
Wu Feng drove the carriage all the way and arrived at the agreed place by the Sibei River before noon.
"Mother, we're here." Wu Feng stopped the carriage.
Xie Yao got off the carriage and looked around. He found that there was nothing within fifty meters of the surrounding area. It was a large open space that could be seen clearly at a glance.
Fifty meters away, there is a forest, followed by a small hill.
If you arrange to meet here, there is no way to ambush you. Even if someone rushes out of the nearest woods, they will still have time to jump into the Sibei River.
That guy really knows how to pick places.
Ling Yue also got off the carriage and immediately looked around to explore, but to no avail.
"He hasn't arrived yet, let's wait a moment." After Xie Yao finished speaking, she returned to the carriage.
With such a strong sun, she didn't want to suffer from heatstroke.
But Ling Yue didn't get on the carriage, and stayed below. She just found a shadowy spot to stand on the side of the carriage.
About a quarter of an hour later, Wu Feng's voice suddenly came, "Madam, a carriage is coming."
Xie Yao opened the curtain and looked around, seeing a very common carriage heading this way, and got out of the carriage.
Soon, the carriage came to a stop. The driver jumped out of the carriage first, hunched over and opened the curtain, and two men got out of the carriage.
Both men covered their faces with black scarves, not wanting to reveal their true faces.
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, are you trying to play guessing games?
"Since you asked me to meet, why hide your head and show your tail?" Xie Yao glanced at the two people and raised her voice.
The two of them were of the same stature and dressed the same. They looked at each other and one of them spoke with a deep voice, "If you hadn't used Princess Yue as a threat, I wouldn't have seen you."
Xie Yao glanced at the person who spoke, then glanced at Ling Yue who was standing aside, only to find that Ling Yue's expression was a little nervous.
What is she nervous about?
"What if I continue to use Princess Yue as a threat to make you all take off the black scarves?" Xie Yao withdrew her gaze, and a hint of amusement suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The two looked at each other again, paused, and then took off the black scarf.
The appearance of the two of them made the playful look on Xie Yao's mouth even stronger.
There seems to be a big difference between these two people. One has a beard with a scar, and the other has a fair face without even a mole.
But upon closer inspection, the appearance of the two people is exactly the same, but their styles are different. They should be twins!
Xie Yao only glanced at it and turned her gaze to Ling Yue, "Are you so nervous, are you afraid that he will reveal his secret, or are you afraid that I will recognize him and be disadvantageous to him?"
Ling Yue pretended to be calm, wiped away all the nervousness in her eyes, raised her head to meet Xie Yao's gaze, "Of course I'm afraid that you will be detrimental to him."
Xie Yao smiled, looked at Ling Yue, and then at the two people who were obviously twins but could dress up in different styles. The sneer on the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious, and quickly turned into a cold look, with a cold expression on her face.
"Today, I don't have to come, because Princess Yue is in my hands."
"But since I'm here, I'm here with sincerity. I haven't hidden my head or tail, and I haven't escaped from my shell. Since you have so many worries and scruples, why do you need to ask me to meet?"
Xie Yao's voice was cold, and every word she said was directed at the driver who was driving the carriage and was hunched over. Not a word was said to the two twins.
Because the person who really asked her to meet was this coachman.
"Haha! I didn't expect you to be so careful and careful that I couldn't hide it from you." The coachman suddenly laughed, straightened his back, took off his old straw hat, revealing his true face, and glanced at Ling Yue.
This face is very ordinary, so ordinary that you will forget it in the blink of an eye, and you may not be able to find it if you throw it into a crowd.
"Please forgive me. Now that you are the queen of Wanqi Kingdom, and you suddenly want to see me, I will inevitably be wary, so I arranged this trick." The coachman cupped his fists, quite a bit of a charlatan.
Xie Yao didn't intend to pursue this issue, so she nodded and said, "Since it's you and me meeting each other, can we take a step to talk."
Finally meeting this person, she had many questions to ask, but none of them could be heard by a third person, not even Wu Feng.
"I don't think it's necessary. If you have anything to say, just say it here." With a distant smile, the coachman refused Xie Yao's request and glanced at Ling Yue again.
Xie Yao's eyes moved and she looked at the coachman carefully. On the coachman's face, she could not find the excitement or joy of meeting her 'fellow countryman' at all, only a strong sense of wariness and alienation.
And until now, Ling Yue's nervousness has not dissipated. Instead, it is getting stronger at this moment, and she glances at the coachman from time to time.
With a thought in her heart, Xie Yao walked up to Wu Feng, pulled out the sword from Wu Feng's waist, and put it on Ling Yue's neck. When she looked at the coachman again, her face turned completely cold.
Ling Yue and the coachman were both shocked, and Wu Feng was also a little surprised. Why did he suddenly draw his sword?
