The carriage traveled in Yecheng for half an hour and drove into an inconspicuous three-story house.
Si Jinxing got off the carriage and saw the servants in the courtyard shouting at the cold-faced man:
"Greetings to the master."
Just then, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler took two steps forward.
He first glanced at Si Jinxing and Li Qingyang, who had just recovered from a serious illness. Seeing his master nod, he reported:
"Master, someone came from the palace yesterday and told you to come into the palace as soon as you return."
Hearing this, the cold-faced man looked at Si Jinxing and the other two and said:
"Throw them into the woodshed and I'll make a decision when I get back!"
In this way, Si Jinxing and Li Qingyang were pushed into a woodshed, and two people were left outside to guard them.
Si Jinxing walked around the woodshed, but didn't see anything that could be used to cut the rope.
Seeing this, Li Qingyang couldn't help but ask, "County Master, do you have any ideas?"
His words immediately caught Si Jinxing's attention.
Her eyes lit up slightly, she turned to look at Li Qingyang and whispered:
"Prince, do you want to escape?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyang nodded immediately, but then asked doubtfully, "Does the county lady have a solution?"
Si Jinxing glanced at the rope on her body, leaned close to Li Qingyang and whispered a few words.
It was getting dark when the door of the woodshed was opened from the outside.
Two maids came in to deliver the food, put the food down, and then left.
He didn't care at all how Si and Liu, whose hands were tied, ate.
There was no light in the woodshed, and only a vague outline could be seen in the dim light of the lanterns in the yard.
Li Qingyang's eyes lit up slightly, and he whispered, "It's time."
Then, there was a sudden "crack" sound of a plate breaking from the woodshed.
The servant who was guarding outside the house immediately came in with a lantern in his hand, cursing.
But when they saw the man and woman in the woodshed bending over to eat with difficulty, they were no longer angry and only mocked:
"Tsk tsk, that bastard Long Yin is really eating like a dog lying next to the bowl! Hahaha..."
The other man also laughed a few times, stepped forward to pick up the broken porcelain pieces, and said:
"Be careful, damn!"
Li Qingyang lowered his head, and Si Jinxing nodded in agreement.
After the two left, in the woodshed which became dark again, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Qingyang's eyes, and a piece of broken porcelain was in his mouth!
He didn't bother to say anything. He moved closer to Si Jinxing, aimed at the rope on her right hand side, and started to grind it again and again.
The porcelain piece was smooth, so Li Qingyang had to pause after grinding it for a while at first. He then tore off a piece of clothing corner to wrap the porcelain piece and continued grinding the rope.
The rope, which was as thick as a thumb, was finally broken after being rubbed for half an hour!
As soon as Si Jinxing was free, he immediately took out a fruit knife from Xinglin Yaxu and cut the rope tied to Li Qingyang.
Li Qingyang was stunned on the spot...
What's going on? Is there a knife on the county lady?
She had a knife, why didn't she tell me earlier?
Si Jinxing didn't have time to explain and said to him, "Don't be stunned. It's time for the next step."
Li Qingyang regained his composure and cursed:
"I'm telling you, don't think you can escape now!
Now in this cold mist, I will see who can save you!"
Then came the sounds of bowls and dishes smashing, tables and chairs being smashed, and the sound of a woman screaming, which spread outside the woodshed!
The door of the woodshed was opened again, but when the two men entered, the door suddenly closed!
The two servants guarding the woodshed felt a pain in their legs before they could react, and then they fainted on the ground!
Li Qingyang, who was holding a bench to hit someone, was stunned when he saw this.
He asked in a daze: "County Master, you..."
He discovered that this county lady was actually a master who hid her talents!
However, he couldn't understand why the county lady, who was so skilled, was tied up by that icy-faced Han Lan man?
Seeing Li Qingyang stunned, Si Jinxing hurriedly urged:
"Prince, hurry up!"
At the same time, Yuan Xi'ao, who had been in the palace for most of the day, got off the carriage with a cold face.
His personal guard came forward and reported:
"Master, news just arrived that the Second Prince is in Hanlan Territory."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiao said:
"My second brother knows too much.
Use all your strength to kill him!"
When he said this, there was a cold light in his eagle eyes, and his tone was very light, but it carried a chilling aura that penetrated to the bones!
The guard immediately agreed and turned to instruct his subordinates.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the backyard:
"The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"
"Hurry up, there's a fire!"
Yuan Xi'ao frowned and strode towards the second courtyard.
However, just as he stepped through the hanging flower gate, he saw two servants standing at the door and bowing to him.
He had been walking straight over, but for some reason, he felt that the two people looked very unfamiliar, so he stopped and asked:
"There's a fire in the yard. What are you two doing instead of putting it out?"
These two people were none other than Si Jinxing and Li Qingyang, who had changed into servants' clothes and changed their makeup.
Li Qingyang bent his body and said in a hoarse voice:
"There aren't enough buckets in the backyard, so the kids are going to the front yard to get two."
Yuan Xiao sneered, then looked at Si Jinxing beside him expressionlessly and said:
"Thank you, Prince and the County Lady, for all your hard work. Now that I'm back, you two should just go back to the courtyard."
After he finished speaking, he shouted, "Come here, arrest these two!"
