In the middle of the night of July 18, the bright moon hangs high on the branches, casting mottled shadows on the ground of the guest house. The Qiu family was as quiet as the mansion in the village, with occasional insects chirping in the grass, everything seemed quiet and peaceful.
Several nursing homes with lanterns walked through the alley outside the courtyard wall of the guest house, and everyone yawned.
"Don't go to Dongkuayuan. Our Qiu Mansion has been here for more than a hundred years. It's not that Xiao Xiao is blind, who would dare to make trouble in Qiu's house?"
"Anyway, since I was on duty, nothing like that has ever happened. Except for the water in the sixth room a while ago, the master even asked someone to shave his head..."
Several nursing homes covered their mouths and all made a sneering sound of "puchi".
"That's because they have done too much evil, and God can't see them doing bad things, so they gave such a punishment."
"Shh! Master's private affairs are also destined to be discussed? Don't shut up."
The conversation of a few people was interrupted by the leader. After chatting a few words at random, everyone became more energetic. After walking around half the yard, they went back to rest.
After a while, the door of the guest room was pushed open silently, and a black shadow flashed past, like a black wind in the night, flying away at the edge of the roof wall.
Not long after, there was a commotion in the direction of the sixth room, and the orange-red fire instantly illuminated the night sky.
In the room, Qin Yining was neatly dressed, with a black cross-collar and short brown to outline her concave and convex figure, a slender and slender neck under the snow-white cross-collar, and a long crow green hair neatly pulled into a bun on top of her head. Wear any pearls, neat and sassy.
When Qin Yining bent over to put on the soft boots, Bingtang handed a small porcelain bottle to Qin Yining: "If there is any danger later, just sprinkle this medicine on it, this is a special-effect itching powder, keep the people on it safe from Scratching the skin is not the end."
"Got it. But what if this medicine gets on me?"
"Don't be afraid, there are antidote ingredients in the retting seeds just given to the princess. Even if the princess scratches it with her hands, she won't feel itchy."
Bingtang is good at treating diseases and using poison. Recently, he was obsessed with itching medicine. Tonight, they deliberately made noise in the inner house, just want to make a sound and take the opportunity to escape. It is inevitable that they will encounter some guards along the way. The medicine can play a big role in that time.
"Let's go." The door creaked softly, and Mu Jinghu, dressed in black, came in, "It's all arranged!"
Qin Yining asked in a low voice, "How is it over there?"
"Everyone has already led him in. Don't worry, I didn't kill anyone. I just gave you another beating for being rude to you that day."
Mu Jinghu had just beaten someone up, feeling very comfortable, and his tone was unprecedentedly relaxed.
Qin Yining really didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw that he was so childish. Unexpectedly, Mu Jinghu would take revenge like this. After so long, he still can't let go of it, and there will be all kinds of naive ways to take revenge.
Perhaps it was because of the habit of killing and making decisions. Although Qin Yining did not disregard human life, he also had no sympathy for those who should be dealt with.
Is she really a cold-hearted person now
Qin Yining didn't say much about Mu Jinghu. Anyway, since Mu Jinghu can do this, he must be mentally aware.
The group left the main room of the guest house. The strong Jinghu guards were all carrying burdens on their backs, which were specially prepared for fear that Qin Yining's carriage would not be able to drive away, and many things could not be brought with them.
There is no need to bring any luggage to send clouds and rock sugar, and the Tiger Guards have already taken care of them all.
The route was already set by Mu Jinghu. When everyone reached the wall, Mu Jinghu whispered "offend", and without saying a word, led Qin Yining over the wall.
Ji Yun had the kung fu on his own, so naturally he didn't need someone else to take him. He took a few steps back and took a quick run, and he jumped up lightly.
At the same time, Jinghuwei also jumped over the wall with rock candy.
Everyone came to the outside of the wall, and Mu Jinghu pointed in a direction, and everyone went straight to this direction without a sound. There was a carriage prepared by Mu Jinghu in advance.
Mu Jinghu is highly skilled in martial arts, so many nights when people are not prepared, he quietly left the Qiu family to investigate around, no matter how many nursing homes in the Qiu family were not aware of it.
This time, they are going to a ruined temple that Mu Jinghu chose on the outskirts of the city.
There are few people here, and there are water sources around. After discussing with Qin Yining, they decided to settle here for the time being, and then find a way to leave Jianchuan City.
"I also thought about going out of Sichuan, otherwise I'll go to Qiu's house and steal it." Mu Jinghu said.
Qin Yining shook his head and said, "Do you remember, after we used that card, it was immediately discovered that we were closely related to Qiu Feishan. People in this city must have some other way to tell them apart. If we rashly steal the Sichuan card, maybe it will be seen as inappropriate, and if we detain it at the city gate, we will not be free. If we want to use the Sichuan card, we have to take a long-term view. "
Mu Jinghu suddenly sighed and said, "Things are getting more and more complicated. I never thought that it would be difficult to get out after entering Jianchuan."
"Yeah. Who would have thought of that." Qin Yining frowned worriedly: "After we came in, we completely cut off contact with the outside world. Now I don't know anything about the outside world, and I don't know the inside of the imperial court. Something big happened."
"Princess. Is that Jing Zhe and Xiaoxue?" Ji Yun pointed to the person in the bushes by the road ahead.
Mu Jinghu glanced at it, and before the eyesight of others could tell, "It's them. I came out yesterday and made an appointment with them to meet here."
While speaking, everyone has already met. Jing Zhe and Xiaoxue were very excited when they saw Qin Yining, and bowed their hands: "Princess. Are you alright these days?"
"It's nothing, I'm fine. Let's go to the ruined temple first."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Once the people gathered, Qin Yining's mood also relaxed. The group quickly came to the ruined temple. After checking the surrounding terrain, they determined that it was really safe.
This temple has not been repaired for a long time. In the center is a mud bodhisattva with spider webs hanging from its body, standing in the dilapidated temple with sympathetic eyes. The tiles on the roof have fallen by half, not to mention the dilapidated and mottled walls around, and the lattice windows with only the window frames without the mullion paper. A ray of bright moonlight shines on the clay statue of the Bodhisattva from the hole in the roof, which makes the place feel a little more peaceful.
Qin Yining looked up at the Buddha statue, and immediately knelt down with his hands folded.
Bingtang and Jiyun also knelt down and saluted.
During the period, Jinghu guards went to pick up firewood, Jingzhe lit a fire in the middle of the ground, and spread some hay on the ground.
"We escaped in a hurry, and we are going to wrong the princess."
"It doesn't matter." Qin Yining smiled, "I used to live in the wild for so many years, this kind of relief was already very good for me at the time."
Everyone sat down around the fire one after another, and two other Jinghu guards felt uneasy and went to guard outside the hall.
Qin Yining said, "Everyone hurry up and recharge, the Qiu family should have found out that we are missing, and they have their eyes and ears everywhere in Jianchuan City, and they will soon find out which direction we are going, even if they don't know us. We have to take a detour in the middle, and we will find it here soon, so we can’t stay here for a long time.”
"Yes." Jing Zhe nodded.
Mu Jinghu fiddled with the bonfire with the branches, a gust of wind blew, and sparks flew up in the bonfire.
"I don't know if we can find an opportunity to find the Dechuan card tomorrow. If there is, we have to disguise as a way to go out. If not, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle to fight, and everyone should save their energy."
"Young Master Mu said that. Let's take turns to rest tonight." Dahan nodded, and a few of them discussed with the Jinghuwei brothers around them about taking turns on duty at night.
Seeing that everyone had arranged things in an orderly manner, Qin Yining took a piece of clothing from the bag and rolled it up as a pillow, and slept directly on the hay not far from the fire.
Bingtang and Jiyun looked at each other, but they were both hesitant. Bingtang was born as a lady, and has never suffered much. Although Jiyun is lonely, since following Pang Xiao, even if he has to undergo various trainings, his life has always been richer than that of ordinary young ladies. Pang Xiao Xiao has never treated them badly.
So they slept directly on the ground covered with a thin layer of hay, and they didn't know if there were any bugs in the grass or if there were mice in the corners. They couldn't accept such an environment for a while.
But on second thought, they began to feel sorry for Qin Yining again.
If you hadn't endured a lot of hardships, who would take this kind of thing for granted? The more Qin Yining adapts like this, the more sad they feel.
Bingtang and Ji Yun lay on both sides of Qin Yining, hoping to help Qin Yining block some of the cold wind at night.
The three girls fell asleep head to head.
The men looked at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable. Especially Jinghuwei, who now both admire and pity the princess. They have seen with their own eyes how the prince treats the princess. If the lord is here, where would you be willing to let the princess suffer? If the lord knows that the princess has been arrested by the Qiu family and is under house arrest, and who else is in the ruined temple, the lord will still feel distressed!
When a few people thought about it this way, their disgust for the Qiu family increased a lot.
Contrary to what they expected, the Qiu family didn't chase after them as quickly as they had guessed. At least they slept peacefully all night. In the early morning, people went fishing and hunting. Qin Yining had a full meal after washing up.
Qin Yining didn't dare to take care of him, so the group immediately left the ruined temple after eating and looked for the next safe place to live.
It's just that Qin Yining never thought that the road in front of them was blocked by a group of people less than half an hour after they left the ruined temple.
"Prince Zhongshun, why do you think the hostel is not well received?" Qiu Yuanqing's face was gloomy, "What's wrong with you, as long as you tell us, we only have to obey, why do you have to leave?"
