Chapter 319: Tracking the Escape



Nangong Jing naturally refused to sit there and wait for death. He knocked down the two people who were blocking the way behind him and slipped away through a small door on the side.

Fortunately, there were quite a few people who wanted to enter the City Lord's Mansion to give gifts, and they were crowded with people blocking the road. With these people blocking the way, even though the guards were not very polite, they still bought Nangong Jing some time.

The old doctor who brought Nangong Jing in heard the word "assassin" and his heart skipped a beat. He guessed that something might have gone wrong with Nangong Jing and became very anxious.

Nangong Xuan was seriously ill, so he couldn't leave. He could only use the excuse of feeling unwell. He went out with a ginseng and asked a little girl who worked in the mansion to go to the back door to report the news, saying that something happened and he couldn't go back for a while, so he asked the old lady at home not to worry and not to keep any food for him.

These words sounded homely, as if they were just the old doctor's earnest instructions to his wife at home.

But the person waiting at the back door was Nangong Jing's secret guard, who pretended to be the old doctor's coachman and agreed naively.

As soon as the little girl turned around, his expression changed immediately and he passed the message on.

These concubines, who were also despised, also disliked Jiale.

"Hey, look, they have closed all the doors. I'm afraid it's not just that. I don't know what happened." He was still wondering whether it was better to hide away or continue to watch the fun here.

The women, dressed in gorgeous clothes, were holding the exquisite cups that were rarely produced from the celadon kiln. Their eyes were almost rolled up to the sky, and even the powder on their faces could not hide the wrinkles on their faces.

Just as these ladies in the backyard were arguing and trying every means to tear Jiale and her maid apart, the sound of an assassin outside startled everyone.

This almost aroused the anger of everyone. They belittled Jiale from head to toe, but it was not enough to calm the anger in their hearts.

Not only that, what made these ladies and concubines most unhappy was that Zhang Chen, this stingy guy, didn't want the backyard to be clean!

Only those people outside who wanted to give gifts but had no way to do so were left to guess secretly.

Even though she was a woman, she could not look away from the girl's bright eyes, like a pool of clear water, so beautiful.

Or to be more precise, something happened to Nangong Jing.

Therefore, the old doctor sent the message not to inform them of these daily trivial matters, but to tell them that something happened in Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Lin Jiuxi glanced at Jiale, silently conveyed the message, and then ran out from the stage under the pretext of going to the toilet.

There are few concubines like her who are rich but still willing to pay for their husbands. Most of them are poor and have no other options, so they sell themselves for the sake of their families. But Jiale is not like that. Jiale's family is very wealthy, so she doesn't need to be humble and be a flat-headed lady. But she chose to be a concubine to a stingy guy.

Looking at a young and beautiful girl like Jiale is like seeing an enemy from several lifetimes, and he would belittle her in just a few words.

"You are so brave that you dare to discuss this matter in front of Prince Xuan. Aren't you afraid of being arrested by them?"

Lin Jiuxi felt that those ambiguous words were indeed not as good as the humming and humming water sleeves dance on the stage, where the women in gorgeous costumes twisted their waists like willows in the wind.

Even in this kind of humiliation and exclusion, Jiale and her maid were very content.

"Could it be that Prince Xuan is not feeling well?"

Lin Jiuxi used his Qinggong skills to climb up a very lush tree. He saw the guards following him and looked around anxiously.

Zhang Chen has many faults, but the terrible things happening in his backyard are a hundred times worse than those happening to the husbands of these proud ladies.

Lin Jiuxi was with Jiale, who was a concubine of Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen did not have a high status in Anyang Prefecture, mainly because he was a collateral descendant of the Zhang family, stingy, and unattractive.

But Jiale was unable to refute them, for no other reason than that they were very good at making indirect accusations. As long as they didn't name anyone, and there were more than just Jiale present, they could still make a comment.

Especially, Lin Jiuxi, who was fascinated by the show just now.

Therefore, Jiale had no advantage among these ladies' diplomacy. What's more, she was young and beautiful, so she was increasingly excluded by these women.

The old doctor's wife and mother have long passed away, and recently his son and daughter-in-law, along with his daughter and son-in-law, have been escorted out of Anyang City by Nangong Jing. The old doctor is willing to sacrifice himself for them, but he is also worried about his family.

There were only female members of the family here, and there were maids guarding the door, so the guards were afraid of offending these distinguished people. After asking the maids if any men had come in, they did not come over to search.

They drank tea and watched the show, completely ignoring these ladies and even seemed to ignore their ridicule and sarcasm.

"Hasn't Prince Xuan's health always been poor? It has been delayed for such a long time. However, if he breaks out now... it will not be good for his reputation. He is preparing for a wedding while..."

There was no need to think about it. The assassin was most likely Nangong Jing. Wang Bobo and the others had refused to allow Nangong Jing to come and see Prince Xuan because there were still some people in Prince Xuan's mansion who had seen Nangong Jing before, and Nangong Jing was nominally a rebel. It was very likely that he would be recognized and asked for a reward, so it was extremely dangerous.

But the palace was full of people, all dressed in bright colors. Even with Lin Jiuxi's good eyesight, it was difficult to distinguish Nangong Jing among so many people.

All they could do was watch the guards charging forward and wonder which direction they were going.

Nangong Jing was running breathlessly, but still couldn't shake off these guards.

These people were like pieces of candy stuck to the soles of shoes. Although Prince Xuan's Mansion was built quite spacious, it was just a house after all, and the guards patrolled all day long. In fact, they knew the structure better than Nangong Jing.

Nangong Jing had no choice but to climb over the wall several times, but was almost surrounded by them. He could only flee to increasingly remote places.
