Volume 1 Chapter 435 Xiaoyu's Psychological Drama
What Lan Yan'er didn't know was that a long time later, when she recalled the young man driving the carriage today and his unrestrained and high-spirited figure, it would be a permanent yearning in her heart.
But at this moment, she was a fugitive, so she had to be extremely vigilant. After seeing the young man driving away quickly in the carriage, Lan Yan'er quickly packed up all the good things she had prepared for her escape, and then got on the carriage.
For the time being, there is no one driving a carriage in this grove, so I can only drive the carriage myself. However, after going out, in order to prevent myself from being exposed, I can only stay in the carriage. It seems that I have to find a coachman.
But if you want to find a coachman, you can only go to where there are people. Otherwise, where can you find someone to drive the carriage for you?
There is no way. I have already escaped. I can't go back in shame. This is the opportunity I have longed for for a long time. If I go back, I don't know that I may never come out again in this life.
So she gritted her teeth and encouraged herself that everything was fine. She had already changed her usual makeup, and not many people had seen her face, so they might not recognize her.
So he drove his carriage to the street and found a place selling human traffickers. He asked a trafficker, "Hey, does anyone here know how to drive a carriage? I'm in urgent need of someone to drive for me. Do you have any good drivers?"
The girl that the trafficker saw was wearing coarse linen clothes, but her overall temperament was very noble. The flower on her head was also a sign of wealth and luxury, so he immediately became wary.
But he said, "We don't have many other things here, but we do have a lot of people of all kinds. Girl, if you want to find someone who can drive a carriage, I will find one for you."
"Why don't you pick one yourself? There are too many people driving carriages here. Why not find a girl you like? Don't you think so?"
At this moment, Lan Yan'er just wanted to find someone who could drive the carriage for her so that she could get away from these places quickly. She had no time to deal with this human trafficker here.
I have already sensed what the other party is up to. They just want to rip me off.
If one could buy freedom with silver, it wouldn't be a particularly bad thing, so Lan Yan'er generously gave 120 silver coins and bought a coachman who could drive a carriage and a maid who could make fire and cook.
After obtaining their indentures, he hurriedly ordered the coachman to drive the carriage quickly to the suburbs.
After receiving the order, the maid quickly went to buy some dry food for the journey, and then the master and servant entered the carriage.
As the carriage gradually drove into the city gate, Lan Yan'er's heart became nervous again.
The purchased maid Xiaoyu clearly felt that her master became more and more anxious as she got closer to the city gate. For a moment, she didn't know whether her master was a good person or a bad person. Why did she look so much like a fugitive?
But there was nothing he could do now. His indenture was firmly in this man's hands. He could only pray that he wasn't a wanted criminal of the imperial court. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble, and it would surely implicate him and his coachman, Ma Da Ge.
He sighed so softly that it was almost inaudible, and then he could only sit outside, thinking that if someone wanted to check on him, maybe he could still shield his master.
Now is not a good time to talk. Once we get out of the city gate, I might as well ask the new owner in detail about his background.
As long as he is not begging for food from the imperial court, there is no problem in following him. After all, the world is big, and food is the most important thing. As long as you have something to eat and can survive, your life will be good. But if he is begging for food from the imperial court, you absolutely cannot follow him. If you are caught, you will be beheaded.
Just like that, Xiaoyu sat in front, blocking Lan Yaner. Unfortunately, Lan Yaner was immersed in her own nervousness and anxiety and did not notice this small detail.
Fortunately, the inspection at the city gate was not particularly strict. In addition, when the carriage stopped and was inspected, Xiaoyu took out ten taels of silver on her own initiative and quietly put it into the hands of the eldest brother who was inspecting the city gate. This allowed them to leave the city quickly without any excessive trouble.
By the way, I also got some useful information from the guy at the city gate.
After leaving the city gate, Xiaoyu said, "Master, the inspection at the city gate is so strict. I heard from the big brother guarding the city that they are currently preventing spies from other countries, not looking for any criminals wanted by the imperial court."
When Lan Yan'er heard the words "the court is begging for food", her body obviously tensed up, and this subtle contraction was clearly seen by Xiaoyu.
I was suddenly shocked: "My mistress reacted so strongly, it seems that she is indeed a wanted criminal of the imperial court!"
He sighed secretly, "My life is really too hard. I thought I had escaped from that place where people were beaten and abused, and finally found a master, but it turned out that the master was a beggar in the imperial court. Now, if I get caught, it will be a capital crime!"
In an instant, his entire face turned from joy at being rescued to grayish-white.
Unfortunately, Lan Yaner was still immersed in his own tense atmosphere and didn't notice how many psychological dramas the little maid beside him had gone through.
I almost scared myself to death! ! ! !
If he knew, he would probably be in tears and laughter. But on second thought, although he was not begging for food, he had taken the initiative to sneak out, which was a serious crime. Those ministers would definitely say that he had damaged the saint's virtue. If he was caught, he would definitely be confined for reflection.
He gently rubbed his frown with his hand, and then immediately thought rapidly in his mind which direction he should take to leave Nanzhao Kingdom?
The best way is to leave Nanzhao Kingdom as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later people will find out that I am missing, and by then I don’t believe that I can escape the pursuit of the court by relying on a carriage.
But nowadays the city gates must be strictly checked. After thinking about it, I still think it is safer to take the water route.
