After discussing important matters with Li Changtian, Li Qiushui set off for his own room. Li Changtian originally wanted to see her off, but Li Qiushui declined Li Changtian's kindness because he was worried that there would be too many people in Tianque Villa.
It was rainy and dark outside the attic, and the gust of wind drove in the torrential rain. Although Li Qiushui was walking on the innermost side of the corridor, half of his sleeves were still soaked.
She didn't look up to the front, she lowered her head and thought about how to avoid the pursuers and leave Tianque Villa smoothly.
Now Han Ya has not doubted her yet.
She can still enter and exit Tianque Mountain Villa at will in a sedan chair, but there will be guards following her.
But avoiding those guards is not difficult.
But at most half a day, the fact that she left will be discovered.
How far can she and Li Changtian escape in this short half day of breathing
If you leave at night, will you have more time to escape
Or if the two don't follow the official path, is it possible to escape the pursuers smoothly
The unknown is disturbing.
Li Qiushui couldn't help but sighed softly.
At this moment, dazzling white lightning pierced the sky, and a deafening thunder fell outside the attic.
Li Qiushui was startled and looked up.
She saw a person standing in front of the door of her wing.
But at a glance, Li Qiushui froze in place, feeling cold all over, his hands and feet were cold.
Another bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, and the world brightened instantly.
Now Li Qiushui could see the appearance of that person clearly.
He was Ashinabal! ! !
Ashinabal heard the sound, looked up at Li Qiushui, and then strode towards her.
Li Qiushui turned pale with fright, turned his head and ran away.
Ashinabale stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Princess?! What's wrong with you?"
Li Qiushui's terrified cry finally came out of her throat, and she beat Ashinaball, who didn't know whether it was a man or a ghost, trying to break free from his grip: "Woooooo, ghost, oooh let me go."
"Ghost? Princess! I'm Ah Wu, don't you recognize me?" Ah Wu said in a panic.
"Ah Wu..." Li Qiushui was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look.
She took a closer look and found that the man was indeed Ah Wu.
A Wudao: "Princess, Lord Han asked me to change my appearance into Ashinabal, you... what's wrong with you?!"
Li Qiushui's feet went limp, and she almost fell, but fortunately Ah Wu caught her up in time.
After a false alarm, Li Qiushui stabilized his emotions and stood still: "A Wu, why are you standing in front of my wing door in the middle of the night?"
"Previously, princess, you said that your stomach was unwell. I asked someone to buy medicine and wanted to give it to the princess, but the princess was not in the room, so I stood at the door and waited for a while." Ah Wu took out the medicine The porcelain bottle, said helplessly.
"Ah..." Li Qiushui was stunned.
It was just an excuse she wanted to exonerate Li Changtian, but she never thought that Ah Wu would actually take it seriously and kept it in her heart.
"Ah Wu, thank you..." Li Qiushui looked emotional, and reached out to take the porcelain bottle containing the medicine.
She suddenly remembered that half a year ago, she was about to set off from Beidi to the Central Plains. One day, she looked at the border full of yellow sand and said to Ah Wu.
"The life in Beidi was difficult before, and I always wanted to go back to the Central Plains, but now that I can really go back, I feel panicked, and I don't know what will happen. If I can only need a moment of comfort in this life, it would be great."
Ah Wu asked her suspiciously: "Doesn't the princess miss her family, or your father, Master Han?"
Li Qiushui smiled faintly, but did not answer.
"Actually..." A Wu hesitated for a long time, and then said slowly, "If the princess doesn't want to participate in the chaotic struggle, you just need to tell Mr. Han well. After all, Mr. Han only has you as a daughter, so he must love you, the princess. If the princess is happy , yes... You can take me with you, I am willing to follow the princess to the place where the flowers are blooming in the Central Plains."
"Huh? Why?" Li Qiushui smiled with curved eyes.
"I can protect the princess." Ah Wu said.
"No, I'm asking, how do you know that I want to visit a place full of flowers?" Li Qiushui asked.
Ah Wu muttered, but did not say a word.
Li Qiushui smiled, and asked again: "Awu you? Is there any place you want to go?"
"I..." Ah Wu still couldn't answer.
"A Wu, the disguise technique, not only you need to soak the potion, but you also have to learn how to shrink your bones and change your voice. It is difficult and painful, right?" Li Qiushui looked at A Wu, his eyes were full of love and kindness, "Alone, survive this It's been a lot of years, isn't it?"
A Wu stared at her blankly.
"Do you like it? Do you like Yi Rong?" Li Qiushui asked.
Ah Wu: "I... I take orders from Mr. Han..."
"Little fool." Li Qiushui couldn't help stretching out his hand, and patted his head emotionally, "I'm asking you, whether you like it or not, hey, you're also a poor person."
The moment Li Qiushui's palm touched the top of Ah Wu's head gently, Ah Wu felt emotions that he had never felt before.
she is asking me? Ask myself if I like this thing
But Ah Wu, since he was six years old, has never been himself.
His disguise technique is perfect, he can be anyone in the world, but he was never himself.
But Li Qiushui not only gave him a name, but also said.
"I'm asking you."
So far, the boat drifting on the vast sea finally found the ferry.
Ah Wu feels that as long as Li Qiushui is around, he can be himself, and he will no longer have to live in the skin of others when he is in this world.
-
Li Qiushui looked at Ah Wu in front of him, and remembered how loyal he had been to him in the past few years.
Remember what he said.
"If the princess wants to leave this political struggle, I will definitely protect the princess."
Li Qiushui couldn't help thinking.
Can she tell Ah Wu about the escape
No, it can't be.
After all, Ah Wu stayed by Han Ya's side for more years, and his people were unpredictable. Naturally, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.
But if there is Ah Wu's help, maybe she will not be suspicious even if she leaves Tianque Villa without guards. In this way, the escape will be smoother.
"Princess, why are you absent-minded." Ah Wu asked anxiously, "I just scared you and made you angry?"
"No, you can quit, I'll take the medicine, thank you." Li Qiushui said softly.
Ah Wu bowed his head in salute, got up to leave, his eyes were full of disappointment.
Li Qiushui looked at him, suddenly couldn't bear it anymore.
Before she remembered, she asked Ah Wu.
What were you doing before following Han Ya and learning the disguise technique
Ah Wu replied flatly: "Wandering on the streets."
"Ah..." Li Qiushui was surprised, "Where are Ah Wu's parents?"
"When there was a famine, they all died." Ah Wu said.
Li Qiushui couldn't help thinking of Li Changtian.
She remembered that when she first met Li Changtian, Li Changtian's body was covered with scars and bruises from being bullied, either from being hit by stones, scratched by nails, or punched.
At that time Li Changtian was only six years old.
In fact, they are all poor people!
They are all involuntary, and they are all homeless!
"A Wu!" Li Qiushui suddenly stopped Ah Wu who was about to leave, "Just follow me into the room, I have something to say to you."
-
Li Qiushui led Ah Wu into the house, called him to sit at the table, and poured him another cup of tea.
Ah Wucheng panicked and said, "The princess can't do it, I'll take care of such chores."
"It's okay." Li Qiushui reassured him, and then put the teacup in front of Ah Wu's eyes.
"What happened to the princess today?" Ah Wu asked cautiously.
Li Qiushui sat back on the chair, pondered for a long time, raised his head and looked into A Wu's eyes: "A Wu...you and I have known each other for three years, although it's not that long, but I think you and I have always been friends with each other , but I don't know, how do you think of me?"
A Wu hurriedly said: "The princess is gentle and kind, understanding, it is my luck to meet the princess."
"Then if I let you..." Li Qiushui hesitated for a long time, finally bit his lower lip and said, "Let you be between me and Mr. Han..."
"I choose the princess."
Ah Wu didn't even listen to Li Qiushui's words, and answered without hesitation.
Li Qiushui was startled.
"I am willing to go through fire and water for the princess." Ah Wu said without a word.
"Ah Wu." Li Qiushui said without any hesitation, "I want to leave here, leave Tianque Mountain Villa, and find a clean place where there will be no fights or fights in the same room."
Although A Wu didn't understand why Li Qiushui would have such an idea suddenly, he said immediately: "I heard that the princess has been loved by Mr. Han since he was a child. As long as the princess and Mr. Han talk about this matter, Mr. Han will not bear to accept it." No matter how difficult the Lord is, He will support you..."
"No, we can't tell Master Han, we have to leave secretly." Li Qiushui shook his head.
"Why?" Ah Wu was confused.
A Wu suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Could it be that the purpose of the princess's departure is because he wants to take Li Changtian away with him?"
"Yes." Li Qiushui nodded, "A Wu, you also know that Mr. Han will find out who did Qin Jueming's righteous son's escape sooner or later. For the sake of Changtian, I have to take him away."
For the long day
Nameless anger suddenly overflowed Ah Wu's chest.
It's him again! It's that idiot again!
Why, why can he make the princess so caring, he is just a waste!
A Wu took a deep breath and said, "Princess, why do you have a falling out with Mr. Han because of him? Now Mr. Han is sending guards to guard at the exits of Tianque Villa in order to find out who rescued Qin Jueming's righteous son. There is no way to leave! Li Changtian is unable to escape! Princess, he has been dragging you down! Just abandon that idiot! He has only been with you in Beidi for a few years, maybe he has been pretending to be crazy all these years , when I followed you to Beidi, I just wanted to grow up! I know that the princess is gentle, but you don't have to because of that idiot... "
Snapped!
The crisp applause echoed in the corners of the room.
Ah Wu turned his head, and all the following words stuck in his throat.
Li Qiushui was trembling with anger: "Get out."
"Princess..." Ah Wu wanted to say something else.
"Just pretend I haven't seen you today." Li Qiushui didn't want to say any more.
"Princess, he can't go away, as long as you take him with you, you can't go away!" Ah Wu suddenly stood up and shouted, "In the six months before he died, although you cried for a few days, But won’t you live well in the future? What if you don’t have him? I can also be with you, I can be your younger brother, I can change his appearance, I can become him, it’s him Courting death, to rescue Mr. Han’s prisoners, this is all he asked for, and he swallows the bitter fruit he has forged! Princess, why should you worry about him! Why should you rebel against your father for him!"
After Ah Wu shouted, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stood by the table panting heavily.
Li Qiushui looked at him quietly, and said lightly: "Have you finished speaking? Go out after finishing speaking."
Ah Wu's face turned livid in an instant, he lowered his head, and clenched his fists with his hands hanging by his sides, his nails were pinched extremely deep.
He took a few deep breaths and said, "I've disturbed the princess, so I'll leave."
After finishing speaking, Ah Wu turned and walked out of the wing room.
Outside the house, the wind was howling, the wind and rain were blowing, and it was really cold.
