After driving north from Qingcheng County for an hour, the carriage entered the area of Huibei City.
The terrain of Huibei City is like a long belt, facing a river to the north. The river passes through Huibei City, bypasses Qingcheng County, and goes directly to the west of Jianzhou.
This is also why the largest number of disaster victims gathered outside Xuanwu Gate in Jianzhou!
They disembarked at Jianzhou West Ferry, which saved them three or four days of travel compared to disembarking at Huibei Ferry and then going to Jianzhou!
There are a lot of people at the ferry today.
In order to conceal his tracks, Si Jinxing arranged for several people from the farm outside Qingcheng County to pretend to be relatives and head north!
At this moment, the woman called "Aunt", Mrs. Li, straightened up immediately after hearing this!
She coughed lightly and said:
"Xin'er, Ning'er, you two little girls, you've been so engrossed in playing that you've almost forgotten the time, haven't you?"
The one called Ning'er was Si Jinxing.
She was wearing an ordinary cotton dress and a veiled hat on her head, and her original appearance was impossible to tell.
Qingchan, who always wore black clothes, was pestered by her to change into pink clothes, and he seemed like a different person.
Zi Su transformed herself into Li's daughter, with Song Xiner by her side.
"Okay, okay, the children are here, let's go quickly." The speaker was a slightly plump man, who was the woman's husband, Zheng Kui.
Every time Si Jinxing saw him, she was very puzzled. He fled all the way from Huaibei to Jianzhou, which was a long journey, so how come he didn't lose any weight?
Or was he fatter before?
A group of more than ten people walked towards the ferry while talking.
The ferry, like a city gate, was a transportation fortress in ancient times. Two yamen runners were carefully checking the passes of the passing people.
Si Jinxing and others lined up in turn and handed the travel passes that they had asked Mo Qiu to get last night to Zheng Kui for safekeeping.
In the carriage outside the ferry, Qi Moli stared at the figure that was gradually moving away, reluctant to leave.
Mo Yun lowered his voice and said:
"Master, we shouldn't stay here for long. Although the news of the princess's death has spread back to the capital, there's no guarantee that someone will be more cautious and come to investigate!"
Qi Moli nodded, glanced at the figure again, then lowered the curtains and said, "Let's go."
As soon as his carriage left, another carriage stopped.
A woman in red got off the carriage slowly and walked towards the ferry with light steps.
Finally, it was Si Jinxing and his companions' turn to check the pass.
Zheng Kui quickly bowed, with a flattering smile on his honest face, and said respectfully:
"Sir, our family of three is going to Qingcheng to pick up the daughter of our late aunt. This is the pass we have, please check it."
But the yamen runner took the pass, glanced at it casually, and waved his hand to let Zheng Kui and Li pass.
Seeing this, several young girls were about to move forward, but were stopped by one of the yamen runners and said:
"Ladies, wait a minute."
He looked up and down at the women with his narrow eyes. Judging from their figures, he thought they must be good-looking.
The look in Li's eyes when she looked at the yamen runner clearly had bad intentions!
Her face turned pale and she looked at Zheng Kui beside her.
She was afraid that the officer would find out something, and she was even more afraid that he had bad intentions towards those girls!
Although she didn't know the identity of her benefactor, she also didn't know why she tried every means to go to Xuzhou.
But she knew that she had to help her benefactor reach Xuzhou smoothly, only then could she repay the favor.
Zheng Kui is a man, so he is naturally more thoughtful than the women in the family.
The benefactor was able to rescue hundreds of them from the hands of the Qingcheng County Magistrate, and was protected by experts at all times.
Now that he can get a travel permit from the government, he must be of extraordinary status!
He bowed and said:
"Sir, my daughter and niece have never seen the world and are timid. I hope you will..."
The yamen runner stretched out his hand to stop him:
"Stay away from here!" He pointed at Si Jinxing and Zi Su and said:
"Take off your veils, both of you, and let me see if you are imposters!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Chan slid the dagger hidden in his sleeve down a little.
Si Jinxing sensed her anger, reached out and gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to calm down.
She said in a low, trembling voice:
"I'm just worried that my appearance might be ugly and frighten the adults."
The two yamen runners looked at each other and said, "Young lady, why be so modest? Pick them quickly and let the brothers see them."
Si Jinxing knelt shyly and reached out to take off the veil.
The two men opposite, with silver smiles on their faces, suddenly fell!
One of them even ran to the side and started vomiting!
The other one calmed down and said with a dark expression:
"You look like this, ugly people are always weird!
Hurry up and put on your veil hat, go, go, go!"
Zi Su turned her head and her expression changed several times.
I saw that my young lady's originally smooth and fair face was now not only full of pits, but also had a centipede-like scar!
It’s as ugly as it can be!
When she left the inn, her young lady didn't look like this!
Could it be that she put on this makeup while in the prince's carriage?
Qingchan, who was always aloof, took a quick glance and quickly turned his head to look aside, fearing that he would not be able to hold back his laughter.
I really can’t imagine what kind of weird thoughts are in the mind of her princess?
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing quickly put on her veil and said softly, "Thank you, my Lords!"
As she spoke, she led a few people towards Li's side, but suddenly heard a woman behind her shouting:
"What are you going to do?"
Si Jinxing was walking onto the boat at this time. She turned her head and looked back, and saw a woman in red being stopped by the two men.
I saw the woman in red, with her black hair tied up casually, fluttering in the wind, and her face was extremely beautiful, like a peach blossom!
Seeing the two yamen runners were about to reach out and pull the woman!
Seeing this, Qing Chan looked at Si Jinxing, asking whether he needed to take action.
But Si Jinxing shook her head slightly. Let me ask you, what kind of girl would go out dressed like this? Without even a maid by her side?
I'm afraid that she is either a fool or has extraordinary abilities!
No rush, we need to take another look.
She asked Li and Zheng Kui to bring a few servants disguised as servants into the cabin and rest.
Zi Su and Song Xiner also went to the cabin and helped her make the bed first.
Si Jinxing brought Qingchan and stood at the bow of the boat, looking towards the ferry.
She held the tranquilizer gun in her hand. If the two men really took action, she could make them fall to the ground and fall asleep at any time!
But at this moment!
As the woman in red was crying and hiding, she saw the two yamen runners suddenly screaming, staggering back a few steps, and then falling into the turbulent river with a plop!
The river was turbulent, and the two men fell in and thrashed around for a few seconds before being swept downstream...
Si Jinxing's eyes moved slightly. If she was not mistaken, it was the woman in red who took action just now?
