After two days of preparation, the time to set off with the caravan finally arrived.
Just after dinner, Lin Mengya went to bed early because she felt unwell.
On the surface, everything still looks like business as usual. Lin Mengya went to the door early in the morning to break through the barrier and had a battle of wits and courage with the guards.
She was very angry at the situation at the scene. Therefore, this kind of behavior of deliberately losing temper is more reasonable and reasonable.
In the past few days, the guards have also become aware of her routine.
When I get up early in the morning, I must go out and make some noise. What made them a little helpless was that it was obvious that the princess, who was forced to live in seclusion, seemed to regard this kind of errand, which was very embarrassing for them, as a pastime.
It is said that every time the princess failed to escape, she would eat two more bowls of rice for breakfast.
Suddenly, the guard who was selected for such a deceptive task must have run through a lot of horses.
Of course, all this was planned by Lin Mengya, and she had a perfect grasp of the psychology of the guards.
In the sky, the originally full and round moon had only a few pitiful teeth left.
In a world without moonlight, blackness seems to become thicker.
It’s time for everything to fall asleep. The entire Prince Yu's Mansion also fell into silence and peace.
There was a "quacking" sound, whether it was the wind or something else. The small door behind Liuxinyuan, which had not been used for a long time, suddenly opened a small crack.
Rust and dust fell to the ground. After a while, a little head covered in black cloth cautiously poked out.
Black cloth covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of bright eyes. Up and down, left and right, alert to everything around him.
Until he was sure that there was no one around, his little head shrank back again.
After a while, two slender figures emerged from the small door.
After exchanging glances with each other, they bent their waists and followed the shadows in the corner, slowly but surely, to the back door of the palace.
"Master, isn't there someone guarding this back door?"
It turned out that these two thieves were none other than Lin Mengya and her little follower Bai Shao.
"Shh, don't talk. I have a clever plan."
Lin Mengya took Bai Shao and found a small corner to squat down.
Now, there are at least two hours before dawn. Normally, someone would naturally wait until dawn before anyone would open the door.
But today, it is different.
Not long after they hid, a yawning figure wearing clothes and holding a small orange lamp appeared at the back door.
The man quickly took out the key to the back door. The sound of a series of keys colliding was extremely clear in the quiet night.
"Uncle Chen, you are really on time."
The person who opened the door reluctantly stood aside and complained slightly.
Outside the door, there was a small carriage piled with fresh vegetables, which had just arrived at the entrance to the backyard.
"Thank you for your hard work. This is our family's specialty melon. It's not worth much. Let's bring it to my eldest brother so he can have a taste."
It's still spring, and the seeds in the ground have just been sown. Of course, no fresh fruits and vegetables will grow.
However, in order to cater to the nobles in Kyoto, many smart farmers, according to the right time and place, introduced hot spring water and took advantage of the earth's energy. Or heating it on the stove all night to get a few out-of-season vegetables.
Of course, the price of such fruits and vegetables is ridiculously high. Even in Kyoto, only a few people can afford it.
The wealthy Prince Yu's Mansion is one of them. These precious vegetables will be delivered in a small carriage every seven days.
By then, the guards at the back door will not be so strict. After all, checking back and forth is really a waste of time, not to mention that as a princess, she has always had a good habit of going to bed early and getting up late.
No one would have expected that she would be willing to go early in order to escape and ascend to heaven.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Uncle Chen who was delivering food came in, Lin Mengya waved her hand and quietly slipped out with Bai Shao.
The thick darkness of the night has become their natural protective color.
Suppressing the elation of escaping, Lin Mengya and Bai Shao ran away with their little baggage.
But she didn't expect that just as her figure disappeared around the corner, several familiar black figures suddenly appeared from the alley she had just passed.
"You guys must protect the princess well and not make any mistakes."
Butler Deng ordered in a low voice, and the surrounding black shadows instantly dispersed. Gradually, it became hidden in the darkness.
Looking at the princess who was already riding in a small carriage in the distance, Butler Deng couldn't help but sigh softly.
In fact, the prince doesn't know that with the princess's temperament, she will never be able to stop her.
As for the prince's decision to confine the princess, it was just a show for outsiders to watch.
With the princess's temperament, everyone in Kyoto knew that she was not someone who would quietly embroider and watch birds at home.
Doing so can also reduce the suspicion that the princess is not in Kyoto.
I just don’t know how much the princess can understand the prince’s painstaking efforts.
Alas, I hope everything is safe and sound, Princess.
In the quiet night, Lin Mengya and Bai Shao, who had escaped, ran wildly.
Yunzhu had already prepared the driver and would follow them on the road.
Moreover, what surprised Lin Mengya was that this man was the shrewd young man he had seen at Father Bai's place.
No wonder Yunzhu said that someone would take good care of them along the way. From the first moment she saw this man, Lin Mengya felt that he looked so calm and smart.
Along the way, maybe you really have to rely on him.
I was in the carriage with Bai Shao, changing out of my dark night clothes. Inside, he was wearing ordinary clothes.
Lin Mengya was dressed in men's clothing, and her delicate and pretty face was somewhat similar to Lin Nansheng's.
Fortunately, she doesn't have the shyness of ordinary girls. No matter where he looked, his eyes were open and clear. After tidying up her clothes, she looked like an aggressive seducer.
"Say, little lady, look at my husband's appearance. Isn't he also incredibly handsome?"
Lin Mengya pretended to look like a libertine, holding the folding fan in her hand and raising Bai Shao's chin frivolously.
The deliberately flirtatious look made Bai Shao burst out laughing.
Bai Shao is dressed like a bride, charming and gorgeous, but also dignified and generous.
The two of them went on the road together pretending to be a young couple. Except for a few people in the caravan, no one else knew about it.
It must be very inconvenient for the two girls to go out.
Moreover, Bai Shao looks so charming, and she doesn't look like a man at all. The role of a married woman is more suitable for her, and it also prevents some unsighted people from teasing her on the way.
Of course, except for a few scum with special tastes.
The two of them packed their belongings in the carriage, except for their clothes and shoes. Lin Mengya brought a lot of banknotes, so-called poverty-stricken families get rich. Although the caravan has its own fixed route, it is inevitable that they will travel alone.
In order to avoid the tragedy like in the TV series, I got separated from the crowd and ended up living on the street penniless. Lin Mengya deliberately wore a lot of inconspicuous jewelry on her body.
This look of being obsessed with money actually made Bai Shao smile. I praise my master, he is really smart.
"Master, we are going to the inn soon. Do you want to come down and buy anything?"
Lin Mengya was stunned by the sudden sound coming from outside.
The caravan met at an inn in Kyoto and left together.
She opened the sedan curtain and lay there, quietly exchanging information with the groom.
"According to your instructions, you are the only son of a wealthy businessman in Yunzhou. Your surname is Yuan Minglin, and you have only been married for less than half a year. This time, you are going to inspect your property in Lintian Kingdom. I am your groom, and my name is Yuan San. , the young lady is Yuan Ma’s family, and her single name is Hui.”
Not knowing what this man's original name was, Lin Mengya could only temporarily call this young man Yuan San.
She received her customs clearance document, and everything about her, Bai Shao, and Yuan San was clearly written on it.
She read it over and over again, and together with Bai Shao, she memorized all the basic information about herself.
Fortunately, with the help of the Shennong System, she memorized every word.
"Master, the inn has arrived."
Yuan San said respectfully outside, and Lin Mengya straightened her expression. Here will be the starting point of her journey. She doesn’t know what kind of adventure this trip to Lintian Kingdom will bring her.
With her little hands, she opened the curtain. Lin Mengya, like a man, supported Bai Shao and got out of the carriage.
Although it was still early in the morning, the inn was already full of people coming and going, and the flow was endless.
Whether they are traders from other places or traders who are about to leave Beijing, they all stay in this Yunlai Inn for a short time.
Although the imperial court emphasized agriculture over commerce, the status of merchants continued to rise due to the accumulation of wealth.
Fortunately, there were people from all countries in the Yunlai Inn, and their group did not attract much attention.
Yuan San led Lin Mengya and the others to find the leader of this caravan.
This is a veteran known as Mr. Guo. Yunzhu said that before he joined Sanjuetang, he used to be the head escort of a large escort agency.
As for why he was reduced to giving Sanjuetang the leader of a caravan, Yunzhu didn't know.
It’s just that Mr. Guo is a man of justice and has rich experience. In the past, many missions were completed very well. Therefore, this time the task of Sanjuetang to take root in Lintian Kingdom was given to him.
Of course, on the surface, it is just a cover for business exchanges.
"Hello, Mr. Guo. This junior has long heard of Mr. Guo's reputation. When I saw him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation. This is a small gift prepared for you by this junior. It is not a sign of respect."
Mr. Guo and his two deputies were sitting in the hall having breakfast.
