Chapter 193 Accident! Escape!
That’s right, if he doesn’t run, he will be the next to die.
Liu Mang held the flute tightly in his hand.
If Jiang Liuyun had stayed where he was, Liu Mang would definitely have played the flute.
The injured Jiang Liuyun was no match for the flute player.
"Ha! Want to stop me? Dream on!" Liu Mang sneered and called the flute player back.
On the city wall, Lin Zhiqing looked at Liu Mang who suddenly relaxed, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Along the way, Liu Mang's mood has been fluctuating.
Tense, relax, tense, relax.
This alternating emotion is bound to affect his mentality and subconsciousness, and then it will be time for Lin Zhiqing to take action.
It can be seen from the fact that Liu Mang has no time to pay attention to his surroundings that his observation ability is on the verge of collapse.
Otherwise, Lin Zhiqing should be able to see it easily from the city wall.
Lin Zhiqing watched Liu Mang get off the carriage and used his hand to feel the breath of the people on the ground, especially the coachman.
But he was destined to be disappointed, as those people would not wake up in a short time.
Lin Zhiqing specifically told Jiang Liuyun to hit him a little harder.
In line with the psychological suggestion planted during their journey, the driver and others had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Liu Mang would either wait for them to wake up or drive the carriage himself.
I don’t know what choice this rather noble Lord Liu will make.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing showed a playful smile on his face.
Under the city wall, Liu Mang was stunned for a while when he saw that calling a few people was fruitless.
The coachman is gone, but we still have to go to the execution ground.
He stepped forward, untied the horse, and mounted.
Are you kidding? How could Liu Mang, a fifth-rank official, drive like a lowly groom?
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhiqing just found it very interesting.
Liu Mang's thinking ability has indeed declined a lot.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the white-haired man who could be used as a secret weapon here.
Since she abandoned the carriage for the so-called class concept, don't blame her for taking advantage of the opportunity.
Liu Mang rode his horse through Xuanwu Gate. At the same time, in a shop not far from the carriage, Lu Huai saw the opportunity and walked out with Aunt Mu.
They hid here originally to prevent some emergencies.
Now it seems that there are indeed gains.
"Go find Miss Lin and Brother Shi'an, and ask her to bring a horse. The people on the ground are all clear evidence." Lu Huai and Aunt Mu couldn't move so many people at the same time, but Lin Yangyang and Lin Shi'an could.
"Yes, Mr. Lu." Aunt Mu bowed and walked quickly towards the execution ground.
After Aunt Mu left, Lu Huai stepped forward, lifted the curtain, and checked the condition of the white-haired man.
Seeing that he seemed to be asleep, he got out of the carriage with peace of mind.
Then, he felt a slightly worried gaze.
Looking up, Lin Zhiqing's handsome face came into view.
He climbed up the stairs and soon reached the city wall.
Lin Zhiqing had already changed direction. When Lu Huai walked up to the city wall, he found that she was staring at Liu Mang's back in a daze.
"In this case, his emotions should have reached the point of collapse." Lu Huai asked.
Lin Zhiqing opened his mouth and was about to answer when he saw the figure on the horse move.
Then, a gaze filled with sarcasm and provocation was precisely fixed on Lin Zhiqing.
It was Liu Mang, he discovered Lin Zhiqing!
After achieving his provocative purpose, he turned around and kicked his feet, instantly increasing his speed.
Lu Huai was shocked and realized that something went wrong.
Liu Mang still remained rational. Otherwise, in their imagination, Liu Mang would not have discovered Lin Zhiqing.
Staying rational means that it will be more difficult for Lin Zhiqing to hypnotize Liu Mang and make him tell the truth on his own.
Lu Huai looked at Lin Zhiqing, and surprisingly, there was no expression on Lin Zhiqing's face.
"Zhiqing, isn't Liu Mang affected by those psychological suggestions?" Lu Huai asked.
"No." Lin Zhiqing shook his head affirmatively:
"He was definitely affected."
Otherwise, according to Liu Mang's cautious style of doing things, he would not abandon the flute player, nor would he lose control of his emotions and provoke Lin Zhiqing when leaving.
Why provoke Lin Zhiqing?
Because Liu Mang was angry.
This kind of "anger" is a manifestation of Liu Mang's loss of reason.
His emotions and actions were indeed influenced by what had happened along the way.
But this impact is not enough.
Lin Zhiqing turned and went downstairs: "Did you ask Aunt Mu to go find my cousin just now?"
"That's right." Lu Huai nodded: "According to the time, he should be here soon."
"Liu Mang's mood is still a little bad. Let's find a secluded place and shoot a few arrows from behind to scare him." Lin Zhiqing immediately proposed a remedy:
"He's quite relaxed now, thinking we're helpless. We can't appear in front of him again. We must keep him relaxed."
"Also, we must not alert the people in the imperial court, so we must stay hidden!"
"That way, when the cold arrow is released, it will achieve the effect of causing Liu Mang to panic."
"I remember there's a group of shops up ahead. Maybe we can find a more secluded place there."
When saying these words, Lin Zhiqing was particularly calm.
Lu Huai was also thinking about the feasibility of her words in his mind: "Liu Mang's horse riding skills were relatively unfamiliar just now. He should be able to travel about ten miles every quarter of an hour."
"It's still nine miles from here to the market. It would take him two cups of tea at most to get there, and a quarter of an hour at the shortest."
"Conservatively speaking, we still have an incense stick of time to arrange everything."
He spoke very quickly, but Lin Zhiqing could hear him clearly.
Xuanwu Gate is nearly five kilometers away from the vegetable market entrance.
Liu Mang can run five kilometers every fifteen minutes.
But Liu Mang was not very good at riding a horse, and the road was not easy to walk on, so his speed was not very stable.
According to Lu Huai's estimate, Liu Mang would arrive at the vegetable market in fifteen minutes at the fastest and twenty minutes at the slowest.
If Lin Zhiqing and others want to overtake Liu Mang, it will take about ten minutes for them to make arrangements in advance.
Lin Zhiqing could only roughly understand these things, but Lu Huai could do them effortlessly.
But Lin Zhiqing didn't have any extra time to praise him. Ten minutes was very short and passed in the blink of an eye.
If Lin Yangyang and Lin Shian were there, with their lightness skills, they would have no problem reaching the corresponding location before Liu Mang.
But the difficulty lies in that Lin Zhiqing does not want to alert the people in the court, so he cannot wait for Liu Mang to arrive before making a sneak attack, but he has to take action in advance.
It is not easy to find a hidden place in a short time.
Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly and quickly recalled the shops he had seen a few days ago:
"We have to start somewhere in the middle of the market entrance, but most places are too obvious and easy to be exposed."
"Zhiqing, I know a place that might meet your requirements."
"Where?" Lin Zhiqing looked up at Lu Huai: "Is it safe?"
Lu Huai nodded: "It is unlikely that either Liu Mang or the imperial court will discover us."
"Let's go now!" Lin Zhiqing made a prompt decision.
