Chapter 492: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
The envoy from Daliang stood there, accompanied by a woman from Daliang who looked a bit like one of the dancers at the palace banquet.
Wang Shuyi's wrist was tightly grasped by an attendant.
Lin Zhiqing pressed his body against the wall and took out the jade flute.
Since the people of Daliang are in collusion with the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, it means that they are very likely to know Lin Zhiqing's hypnosis skills.
As soon as the flute sound came out, perhaps only the envoy from Daliang could guess that it was her.
But the situation is urgent now, and we can't let the people of Daliang really ruin Wang Shuyi.
It is too late to report the news to the Censor-in-Chief's residence now.
If the people of Daliang really brought Wang Shuyi back to Sifang Pavilion, even if nothing happened, given Dasheng's nature, Wang Shuyi's reputation would definitely be affected.
Even if Lin Zhiqing really wanted the people of Daliang to pay attention to Wang Shuyi, that was in Wang Yuan's hypnotic dream, not in reality.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing took a deep breath and slowly blew the jade flute.
The melodious flute sound drifted farther and farther away.
When he heard no more sound, Lin Zhiqing stuck his head out again and saw Wang Shuyi, the Daliang envoy and four others standing still.
The flute worked!
However, this forced hypnosis that is not a dream can only last for half a quarter of an hour, or about seven minutes.
Time was urgent, so Lin Zhiqing walked forward quickly while playing the flute. She grabbed Wang Shuyi and walked out of the alley, not daring to stop for a moment.
The sound of the flute stopped abruptly until they turned out of the alley.
The Daliang envoy's eyes suddenly became clear. Feeling the pain in his head, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Then, he turned his head suddenly and saw his followers looking around with confusion on their faces.
Wang Shuyi is missing!
"Look! Someone has been here!" The Daliang envoy's eyes were deep and his tone was fierce.
At the same time, Wang Shuyi, who was not far away, also woke up. When she saw Lin Zhiqing holding her wrist, her eyes widened:
"It's you, Miss Lin Er? Why are you here?"
"No time to talk, let's go faster!" Lin Zhiqing frowned and looked behind him from time to time.
After her flute stops playing, the people of Daliang will soon wake up.
Then neither of them will be able to escape!
Wang Shuyi obediently shut her mouth and walked forward quickly.
The two of them walked quickly around the corner, then suddenly stopped.
The two people's breathing was very clear in the quiet alley.
"Run? Keep running!"
The Daliang follower stared at the two women and spat.
The humiliation of being teased by a woman made him feel very bad.
Then, behind him, the envoy from Daliang walked out.
His gaze did not linger on Wang Shuyi, but instead looked at Lin Zhiqing:
"Second Miss Lin, it's been a long time since we last met. Instead of preparing for your wedding, you actually dared to run away?"
Lin Zhiqing stood there quietly without saying a word. She quickly observed the two men in front of her.
The envoy from Daliang was rather thin, with very rough hands, but his lower limbs were steady and powerful, clearly someone with martial arts skills.
The follower looked like a reckless man.
She took a deep breath and said, "Your Excellency, forcibly seizing a woman from Dasheng's territory is not the Daliang way of doing things, is it?"
The Daliang envoy's eyes suddenly became sharp:
"Don't try to accuse me of anything. You two, you claim to be ladies from a noble family, but you're wandering around disguised as men. Do you have any sense of shame at all?"
Hearing this, Wang Shuyi bent her waist and turned her face to the side.
It was obvious that she was hurt by the words of the Daliang envoy.
Lin Zhiqing frowned and whispered, "Hold your head high, you haven't done anything wrong."
Wang Shuyi was stunned and looked at Lin Zhiqing.
But Lin Zhiqing didn't look at her again. Instead, he spoke to the Daliang envoy again: "If today's incident gets out, you won't be in the right. Don't stop us."
"Second Miss Lin, the tone of your Lin family has always been very annoying." The Daliang envoy had a faint smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Mr. Lin, are you talking about me or my father?" Lin Zhiqing's eyes were sharp.
"Your father?" The Daliang envoy gritted his teeth and asked, but still smiled.
"Miss Lin, I don't want to argue with you, but if you mention your father, please come with us!"
He said this with some gnashing of teeth:
"Your Great Sheng law states that women are not allowed to enter bookstores. Now I have caught two people who have violated the law. I wonder what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will think."
Prince?
Lin Zhiqing frowned. Shouldn't a normal person think of the emperor first when mentioning the law?
However, she didn't have time to think about it.
Because the Daliang follower was already walking towards the two of them.
Wang Shuyi's face turned pale. If what happened today were to get out, she would be finished.
Feeling Wang Shuyi's body stiffen, Lin Zhiqing held her hand soothingly, and then said:
"This matter has nothing to do with her, let her go."
The Daliang envoy chuckled: "Let her go? Who do you think you are?"
"I am your mother." Lin Zhiqing cursed without any politeness.
Anyway, it doesn't matter whether her face is torn or not. Her Lin family has a grudge against Daliang. She will get angrier the more she thinks about it.
Now that the marriage has been decided, there will definitely be war in the future, so she has nothing to worry about.
Hearing Lin Zhiqing's curse, the follower quickened his pace and rushed towards Lin Zhiqing:
"Who are you scolding, little bitch?"
Lin Zhiqing shook off Wang Shuyi's hand: "Go away!"
As he spoke, he blew the jade flute quickly.
Wang Shuyi was stunned, and then she saw the people from Daliang suddenly stopped.
She hesitated for a moment and ran to the back of the alley.
Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wang Shuyi's footsteps getting farther and farther away.
She herself was on the list of marriage candidates. No matter how much the people of Daliang hated her, they could wait until she got married and then torture her.
It doesn’t matter even if she goes to Sifang Pavilion now.
But Wang Shuyi wanted to avoid Wang Yuan.
Considering what that gentleman said, Lin Zhiqing couldn't just stand by and watch.
Wang Shuyi probably had run enough, so the sound of her flute slowed down.
The Daliang follower's steps were disorderly, but he still stumbled in front of Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing had no intention of confronting him head-on, and the sound of the flute became quieter and quieter.
Then, she put down the flute and looked at Daliang's followers quietly.
The follower grabbed Lin Zhiqing's shoulder.
Lin Zhiqing frowned and was about to speak when he heard footsteps.
She was stunned, and the next moment, the follower screamed and removed his hand from Lin Zhiqing's shoulder.
Lin Zhiqing's pupils constricted. When he turned around, he saw Wang Shuyi with a panicked look on her face, holding a sharp, bloody stone in her hand.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing looking over, she perked up and said, "Let's go together."
Lin Zhiqing threw the stone in her hand down, glanced at the Daliang envoy, took her hand and walked out.
The two of them walked without stopping for a moment, and they didn't know how long they had been walking. They only stopped after making sure the surroundings were safe.
Wang Shuyi was panting heavily, but her eyes were full of joy: "They didn't catch up with us!"
Lin Zhiqing sighed in his heart. He didn't catch up because he had reason to hold him accountable.
