Hearing Xue Qing's words, Li Rushan was furious and said, "Li Ruhai, that bastard, actually put the blame on me for what he did.
But the court did not announce that I killed my father. Didn't they always say that my father died of a sudden serious illness?"
Xue Qing said: "Of course I have to say that. If Li Ruhai blatantly made up such a lie, those who originally supported you would definitely jump out and clarify it to the whole country, making this matter a big deal.
If Li Ruhai fails to provide substantial evidence, he will be accused of false accusations. When he wants to harm you, those who do not know the truth may not necessarily listen to his one-sided story.
But now, he only needs to find an excuse, saying that "the royal family did not want to damage their reputation and concealed the truth of the matter" to deceive everyone.
Moreover, the order he gave was only to capture you and bring you back for a confrontation, and he did not say that he would kill you, so there won't be much opposition from below.
Of course, it is impossible for you to go back and confront him after you are caught, because his people will kill you on the way.
However, if you choose to directly attack the border and kill people to escape, the nature of the situation will change.
Li Rushan will immediately say that you are absconding for fear of punishment, and will use this incident to fabricate charges against you, and your reputation will be really ruined.
Even if you have the chance to come back later, you will not be able to inherit the throne. After all, the longer time passes, the more solid your crime will be!"
Xue Qing's words made Ye Li feel a chill down his spine. Only then did he realize that these conspiracies were actually interconnected.
If this happened to him, he would not be able to think so much and would just fall into the other party's trap in vain. Even if he escaped, he would only become a wanted criminal by the Tang State forever.
“It’s really vicious, luckily we didn’t choose to rush through, otherwise we would be in trouble.
It only takes one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes ten times as much to prove the truth.”
Ye Li said with emotion.
Li Rushan glanced at Xue Qing, and suddenly smiled and said, "Qing'er, since you have already noticed this problem, given your personality, you must have made arrangements long ago. Don't keep us in suspense now, just tell us."
Hearing this, Xue Qing rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "You will understand me very well by then!
You guessed it right this time, I do have a plan.
I had thought about this problem before, so when I entered Lihua City from outside the pass, I brought in two trusted subordinates who were about the same height and build as you two.
We are people who came in from outside the Great Wall, and we have the pass to go back and forth to the Great Wall. If you two pretend to be them, you can use their pass.
There is a photocopy of the picture on the pass with their appearance characteristics. After I disguise you, you can use their pass without any mistakes. "
Li Rushan was stunned for a moment and said, "We used the clearance document of your men, so how are the two of them going to leave here?"
Xue Qing said: "They should stay here for a while longer. When the storm has passed and the checkpoints are not so strictly guarded, they should be able to get out."
After hearing Xue Qing's words, Ye Li and Li Rushan finally nodded and felt relieved.
Ye Li really admired the extraordinary woman in front of him. She was indeed a bold and careful person who considered everything in advance.
After the three of them stayed in the secret room for a while, when it got dark, Xue Qing took them out of the secret room and came to the house upstairs.
Their plan is to leave here as soon as possible, so they will prepare to leave early tomorrow morning.
Xue Qing's two men were already waiting in the room upstairs. After Xue Qing disguised Ye Li and Li Rushan as his two men, the two men completely turned into his two men's appearance.
After the disguise was completed, Ye Li looked at his appearance in the mirror and was really shocked. Xue Qing's disguise skills were indeed extraordinary.
After looking at each other for a long time, they finally smiled.
Taking over the pass from Xue Qing's two men, Ye Li flipped it open and took a look. Sure enough, the faces of the two men were printed on the pass. If they used it without disguise, they would be exposed immediately.
Xue Qing said to the two of them, "When the three of us came in earlier, we had disguised ourselves as merchants who came to buy rare goods.
When the time comes to go out, you must leave with the goods.
You two have no experience in disguise, so try not to talk, or talk less, and let me handle everything."
Ye Li and Li Rushan naturally nodded in agreement. After all, Xue Qing was a master in disguise, and they were both afraid that they would do something wrong and be exposed.
The next morning, a carriage carrying a large number of boxes was parked outside the yard. The three men disguised themselves as a group of small traveling merchants and began to walk slowly towards the outside of the east city.
It was very easy to leave the city without any inspection. In just half an hour, they arrived at the border checkpoint.
There are quite a few caravans waiting to clear customs here, and the inspection is very strict. Basically all the boxes behind have to be unpacked and inspected.
Ye Li and the other man followed Xue Qing silently until they reached the checkpoint entrance, where they were stopped by soldiers.
"Show me the clearance document!"
An officer with a rat-like look spoke to the three people.
Xue Qing had returned to his original appearance at this time and did not put on any disguise.
She handed the three people's customs clearance documents to the officer. After checking the video and pictures, the officer asked, "What kind of goods are being transported?"
Hearing the officer's question, Xue Qing showed an unnatural look on his face, and he stammered, "They are all worthless local specialties."
Ye Li and Li Rushan looked at each other. They didn't understand why Xue Qing acted like this. He could obviously let the other party take a look at the goods naturally.
If they act like this now, the officer in front of them will definitely become suspicious.
Sure enough, after seeing the expression on Xue Qing's face, the officer fixed his eyes on the boxes behind the carriage and said, "Open all the boxes immediately. What are you hiding? Could it be a person?"
As they were speaking, several soldiers nearby had already pointed their weapons at Ye Li and the other two. If the three of them made any unusual movements, they would immediately attack.
Xue Qing's face turned pale upon seeing this. He walked timidly to the back of the car and gently opened a small corner of a box, revealing a bunch of strange white and red flowers inside.
The moment the officer looked at the flowers, his expression changed.
"You... you are so lucky..."
