The escape plan that Liu Qinghuan told Aies was actually very simple, that is to let them create chaos in the Hou Mansion, and then take the opportunity to escape.
It's just that the implementation time is not the eighth day, but the night of the seventh day.
They first leaked a little bit of news on purpose to make Xue Mu mistakenly think that she was going to escape on Chuba, and then used a series of gaudy methods to distract Xue Mu's attention.
But for this plan to be successful, it needs a key person—the person who stayed in the Hou Mansion to pretend to be her after Liu Qinghuan escaped.
Such an important role, of course, must be handed over to her old partner, that is, the person who pretended to be a servant girl and stole the painting at Zhou Jinjin's banquet.
The person in charge of the contact was Aies. Although the contact method between the liars was too special for him to understand, both of them received the information from the other accurately. Then on the night of the seventh day of the seventh day, Ayers sent a few men to pretend to be assassins to wander around the Hou's mansion, taking in Liu Qinghuan who had escaped by the way.
Xue Mu stood in Liu Qinghuan's room with an indescribably cold and handsome expression. Niantang, Nuoyan, and Pengpeng also returned to the Hou Mansion, and stood silently opposite Xue Mu, their faces becoming uglier than the other. Chi Tao and Qing Zhi, who had just woken up, didn't even dare to take a breath, they just wanted to shrink themselves a little bit smaller.
Xue Mu silently looked at a piece of paper on the desk. The words on it were written by himself last night, but now there are five more—the end of the meeting.
Is that what you want to say to me
The corner of Xue Mu's mouth twitched into a sneer, and Peng Peng Leng shivered on the tail of this summer. They have captured all the people who came out of Aeus's house, and none of them was U Lala, yet she managed to reconcile with Aues and escaped from Chang'an under their heavy hand
Nuo Yan pursed his lips and bravely broke the silence in the room: "Master Hou, I think this matter is weird." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xue Mu, and seeing that he didn't respond, he continued, "Last night's The assassin might not have been sent by Tang Zibo, Aerus might have picked him up at that time."
Xue Mu raised his eyes from the desk, his eyes swept over the three people in front of him one by one, and Peng Peng couldn't help but sneezed.
Xue Mu looked at them for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "No, the one I saw last night is her, I can recognize it." When he heard that there was an assassin, he had already thought that she might come, That's why he rushed to the main room in a hurry. Although he was a little puzzled when he met her on the way, he would not admit his mistake.
She definitely didn't run away last night.
Then there is only one possibility, she didn't go to reconcile with Aus at all.
The petite person outside the city gate looked up at Aes, with a smile gradually appearing on his face.
Aies' heart skipped a beat, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Yi Jin beside him also stared at her, then frowned suddenly: "She's not Dujuan."
At the same time as he said these words, a few black objects were thrown out of the man's hand, and when they fell to the ground, there was a crackling sound, which made all the horses move wildly and neigh. Then another pellet-like thing fell to the ground, and a thick, choking smoke rose from the ground.
While appeasing the frightened horse, the people in the team waved their hands to disperse the smoke. By the time the fog cleared away, the petite figure had long since disappeared.
Aies coughed twice, frowned and asked Yijin, "What's going on?"
Yi Jin said with an ugly face: "We were all deceived by Du Juan, the one who escaped from the Hou Mansion last night was not her at all."
After being stunned for a moment, Aerus quickly turned his horse's head and walked back. Seeing this, Yijin quickly followed.
He rushed back to the original mansion with his horse, and Aies saw "Li Goudan" as soon as he entered the mansion.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Li Goudan was a little surprised.
Ignoring his question, Aies asked without even taking a breath, "Where is the person with you?"
"We broke up halfway." Anyway, Du Juan just said that he wanted them to guarantee the safety of the man, and he saved the man from Nuo Yan, so there shouldn't be any problem, right
But Aies' complexion didn't look like anything wrong...
Aies kicked the table in front of him violently, and a loud "boom" made everyone jump. But Aies was obviously not relieved that they were cheated by Du Juan again!
Yijin came in from the outside at this time, he glanced at the table where the corpse was lying on the ground, and patted Aies on the shoulder: "There is no need to be so angry, we are not the only ones who have been deceived, I think Thinking of Xue Mu, does it feel better?"
Aus: "..."
He took a deep breath and said to Yi Jin: "Since she didn't intend to go with us in the first place, the map she gave us is probably fake."
Yijin thought for a while, then smiled at Ayers: "You'll find out if you try it with someone."
Seeing his wretched smile, Aerus knew that someone must be in trouble. His mood suddenly improved a lot, and he asked curiously, "Where do you think she went?"
Yi Jin said: "Probably...still in Chang'an."
Liu Qinghuan did not leave Chang'an, she just fled to a Lifang a little further away. There is no need for her to leave Chang'an, as long as the liar changes his identity, he can fight for another five hundred years.
She led the horse and walked down the street, looking around. This place is not like Chongrenfang where there are many dignitaries and dignitaries, and almost all of them are ordinary people - from the very beginning, she planned to take refuge in this kind of place first, instead of going to Dongganluo country.
If she really went to Dongganluo, she couldn't think of any other possibility except being controlled by others. This time, this plan took her a lot of thought. At first, she also planned to escape on the night of the seventh day, and then find other ways to get rid of Aies. But in the end, she still decided to stay at the mansion by herself and go to Aies as a substitute.
Because she always felt that Xue Mu recognized her.
She didn't know what method Xue Mu used to identify her, but when they met in the garden last night, she was sure that Xue Mu had confirmed her identity before letting her go back to her room.
This is nothing short of a disaster for scammers.
She flattened her mouth in pain and passed a pile of people. Kneeling in the crowd was a girl in white all over, with a few lines written on the ground: "The little girl Ji Shutong, aged eighteen, is from Jincheng, Sichuan. Unfortunately, my father died of illness in Chang'an, and the little girl is penniless. She is willing to sell herself to bury her father." …”
Liu Qinghuan glanced at it, then led the horse and walked over. This story is not sincere at all, but seeing that she has a pretty face, she should be able to deceive a few people who are stupid and rich.
After finding a place to sell the horse, she walked a little further and saw a small shop selling jewelry. The proprietress is a round woman with a thick face of makeup, and she is scolding a servant with her brows upside down. Liu Qinghuan stood at the door and listened for a while, probably because the proprietress disliked the servants' clumsiness, and couldn't even sell a single piece of jewelry in a day.
She blinked, adjusted her expression, and walked up sadly.
When the proprietress saw someone coming in, she thought it was a guest and greeted her excitedly. But after seeing the person coming, the enthusiasm faded by half—this girl is quite beautiful, but is this mournful father who just died
Liu Qinghuan looked at the proprietress, and asked pitifully, "Ma'am, do you still need manpower here?"
When the proprietress heard her question, her face suddenly collapsed: "I can't even afford to support myself, how can I afford to hire servants."
Seeing that she was disgusted and wanted to drive him away, Liu Qinghuan quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Madam, I can do everything, and I don't need wages! As long as you give me a meal and a place for me to sleep at night, that's fine." !"
The proprietress's heart skipped a beat: "You don't need wages?"
Liu Qinghuan nodded desperately: "To tell you the truth, my daughter's real name is Ji Shutong, from Jincheng, Sichuan, she came to Chang'an to join her cousin because of a family accident, but, but cousin..." Liu Qinghuan sobbed a few times, and said sadly I can't go on anymore, "He has always been in chaos and finally abandoned, the little girl is really desperate now, as long as the madam is willing to take him in, I will be a cow and a horse and repay the madam!"
The proprietress's heart is even more moved, no one is unwilling to have a free servant, and she has always disliked the original girl for being too stupid, this... still looks stupid, but she has a longer one than everyone else. The girl has a pretty face, so if she stops in the store, she will definitely attract many customers. If she acts like a baby to the gentlemen again, won't it be a lot of money
So she wiped away the tears from Liu Qinghuan's face with distressed expression: "Look at it, this little face is crying. Your cousin is really not a thing, and I am not a hard-hearted person, so you can rest assured." Stay here, and I won't let you do anything else, just help me greet customers in the store, do you think so?"
Liu Qinghuan looked at her in surprise: "Really? Ma'am, you are really a good person, I will work hard!"
The proprietress smiled and nodded: "Okay, you go down and wash your face first, and then come back." After speaking, she called Erya to the girl who had been standing beside her.
Liu Qinghuan walked inside with Erya, and wiped away the tears on her face. Living here is much more secluded than staying in an inn, and it doesn't cost you money. Thinking about losing his wife, Xue Mu couldn't post the imperial list to find people everywhere, so she didn't change her face, and she could leave here after she finished the new human skin mask.
Well, when the time comes, you can also trick the proprietress, she won't really do free work for others.
Liu Qinghuan stayed in the store for two days, and sold more items than Erya sold in two months. This made the proprietress very happy, and it was hard not to get rich this time.
Just after seeing off a guest, another person came to the door not long after. He stood outside the door and looked at it before walking in. Liu Qing looked over with a smile, and then... couldn't laugh anymore.
The handsome gentleman on the opposite side is none other than General Xue Muxue.
Seeing her shocked look, Xue Mu slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "You seem to be very surprised."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
Xue Mu continued to laugh: "You don't really think you can escape, do you?"
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
If she had known that Xue Mu would come so soon, even if she risked her real face being discovered, she wouldn't put on this face.
