Danger is definitely dangerous.
After all, the mountainous and forested terrain in southern Xinjiang is complex, and there are many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts.
But the more dangerous and complex the terrain, the smaller the chance of being found by pursuers!
As long as she could avoid the first wave of pursuers, she would go back and try to contact Dajing's secret agent in Kyoto, southern Xinjiang.
Su Yi knew very well in her heart that no matter she was crossing mountains or taking the official road, even if there were no pursuers, her pace was too slow.
It has been almost two months since she heard the conversation between Yin Xuanmo and the spy. She can only hope that Dajing's secret agent in southern Xinjiang can pass the message on.
Su Yi didn't dare to think whether it was too late now, but she hoped, she hoped that everything was still in time!
At this moment, the Southern Xinjiang Regent's Palace was in chaos.
The butler, who always remained calm in times of crisis, turned pale with anxiety, "Didn't catch him?"
The guard leader also looked unhappy. "We have searched back and forth several times on the official roads leading out of Kyoto, but we haven't found Miss Su Yi."
How could a little girl who had no martial arts skills and was unarmed fly away in just two hours?
The housekeeper's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
If Miss Su Yi encounters some bad guys...
The housekeeper didn't dare to think further.
"Keep looking, no matter how deep you dig. If he's still alive, we must find him..." If he's dead...we must find his body!
Even if the butler didn't say so, the leader of the guards would have done the same.
Even if they could find her, the punishment for their dereliction of duty would be severe. If Miss Su Yi really had an accident, they would have to apologize by beheading her.
We continued to arrange to find someone, although we didn't make a big fuss and acted in private, it still couldn't be hidden from the eyes of Shi Qingqing and her servants in the mansion.
Ah Mei breathed a sigh of relief. Now that no one came to question them, it seemed that no one would suspect that they were involved in this matter anymore.
"Miss," Ah Mei lowered her voice, "The palace guards haven't found anyone yet. You think Su Yi can't fly, so where is she hiding?"
Where is it hidden?
Shi Qingqing lowered her eyes.
Since we didn't take the official road, we could only go into the mountains.
This Su Yi was so courageous that even the guards of the palace did not guess in this direction. After all, the mountains in southern Xinjiang were different from those in Dajing.
Not to mention a little girl, even if a strong man went in alone, it would be difficult to come out safely.
"Miss?"
Shi Qingqing came back to her senses and said calmly, "The guards of the palace couldn't find her, how could I guess. Why are you so concerned about her?"
Ah Mei stammered, "I'm just afraid..."
"Okay, don't mention her anymore."
"yes."
Indeed, most of the mountains in southern Xinjiang are dangerous, including the mountains outside Beijing. But they all overlooked one thing.
Or maybe you underestimated Su Yi!
Many mountains in southern Xinjiang are rich in products, including various medicinal plants. Su Yi relied on the herbs he collected along the way to avoid poisonous insects and beasts. Three days later, although he looked much more haggard, he appeared intact on the streets of the neighboring city of Kyoto in southern Xinjiang!
Of course, Su Yi also used some herbal juice to change her skin color and other simple ways to change her appearance.
At this moment, Su Yi was carrying a simple basket she had woven with willow twigs in the mountains, with a lot of medicinal herbs neatly placed in the basket.
His face was gloomy, his body was thin, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were tattered.
Not much different from the beggars on the street.
During the journey, the wild fruits that he had eaten in the mountains had long been digested. Suyi was tired and thirsty, and his spirit was extremely nervous and exhausted.
After observing for a while, she found the streets peaceful and prosperous. Su Yi gritted her teeth and chose a clinic to go in.
It was almost noon and there were not many people in the clinic except for a young man who was tidying up the medicine cabinet.
Su Yi stepped forward, looking like she was gathering up her courage to speak, "Young man, do you sell herbs here? They are all wild herbs that I picked myself in the mountains."
The young man was the last disciple of the doctor in the clinic. When he saw Su Yi's ragged and haggard appearance, he thought she was a girl from a poor family.
He smiled gently, "Yes. But first I need to see the herbs you have collected, young lady."
"Of course, of course." Su Yi showed an expression of gratitude and excitement, and quickly handed over the small basket.
The young man saw several kinds of medicinal herbs of excellent quality neatly arranged in the basket and looked at Su Yi with some surprise.
Su Yi deliberately asked cautiously, "Brother, these are not okay..."
"Don't worry, young lady. The herbs you picked are very good! Two of them are very rare. If you are willing, we will accept twenty taels of silver." He gave the most conscientious price.
"Ah! Yes, I do! Thank you so much! This really helped me a lot!"
Soon, the young man gave Su Yi the silver and Su Yi kept the basket.
Su Yi thanked him again before leaving, and then asked in a low voice, "Brother, I plan to go to Kyoto to stay with my relatives. I want to know if the road is safe recently?"
"We are only a hundred miles away from Kyoto, a day's journey, and the roads are all official, so it's very peaceful, young lady, don't worry. But... you are a young girl after all, so it's best for you to travel with someone."
Su Yi thanked him again before leaving the clinic.
I thought to myself, from this point of view, she ran away, but the palace didn't let the whole world know, and most of the people they sent out to look for her were probably doing it secretly.
This way, her chances are better!
Su Yi first went to buy a few buns to fill her stomach. After quickly solving the problem of eating and drinking, Su Yi began to ask people about the matter of Empress Fengluan.
While asking around, be alert to your surroundings.
She did it on purpose. It was not normal for a beggar-looking stranger like her to inquire about these things. It would definitely arouse suspicion and attention from those who had ulterior motives!
This place is close to the capital of Southern Xinjiang, so there must be secret agents from Dajing. She can only hope that the secret agents from Dajing find her before the pursuers from the palace.
Of course, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
While Su Yi was deliberately asking people, she was walking towards a place where it would be easy to escape and hide, in case the first person to arrive was someone from the palace.
However, Su Yi didn't know that someone had already been targeting her.
They were not Dajing's secret agents nor the pursuers from the royal palace, but a group of local ruffians.
When those ruffians saw her exchanging the herbs she collected for silver at the clinic, they glanced at each other.
At this moment, Su Yi walked to a side alley and heard footsteps behind her. She felt something was wrong and ran forward.
But he was blocked by two men who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.
"Hehe, little girl, where are you running to?"
Su Yi turned around and saw that there were indeed a few scoundrelly men following her.
"Little girl, hand over the money you earned earlier, and we will spare your life."
These bastards are simply taking advantage of the situation!
But money is indeed not as important as life. What Su Yi fears most is that even if she gives the money, these people will still hurt her.
There was something wrong with the way they looked at her.
Su Yi secretly took a deep breath to give herself courage.
Calm down, calm down.
Find the right opportunity to throw the silver out and then run!
"Little girl, what are you hesitating about? Do you want your brothers to search you themselves?" The thug looked at her with an increasingly explicit look.
It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.
But she couldn't be afraid.
"I... I'll give it to you! Just let me go..." Su Yi pretended to be very scared and touched her purse, where there were some poisonous grass leaves she had picked.
The juice from the crushed leaves of this poisonous grass is extremely poisonous, but she obviously couldn't use these leaves to poison these people at the moment.
Wait, got it!
There were not only poisonous grass leaves in the purse, but also the silver that had been exchanged earlier. Su Yi crushed the poisonous grass leaves through the purse.
Then he suddenly threw the purse out, "The silver is in the purse, go and get it yourself!"
Not surprisingly, a few of them went to pick up the purse, while the rest approached Su Yi.
Su Yi spoke weakly, "You said you would let me go if I gave you the silver..."
"Hey, little girl, you're so bored being alone. Wouldn't it be more fun if the brothers played with you?"
Suddenly, a scream of "Ah~!" startled the people who were surrounding Su Yi.
At this moment, Su Yi slipped out from between them like a nimble loach.
Run as fast as you can!
"You little bitch, how dare you poison her? Catch her!"
Su Yi didn't even dare to look back. She was running so hard that her ears were ringing and her head was boiling.
She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her mouth, but she didn't dare stop and could only keep running.
When the body reaches a certain limit, a feeling of despair comes over you.
Will she never have the chance to see the young lady again in this life?
Just when Su Yi couldn't hold on any longer and was about to fall down, someone suddenly yelled.
"His Majesty the Regent has returned!"
Soon, those excited voices brought other emotions, "It looks like the situation is not good..."
"Are you stupid? I just came from Shuiyue Oasis. Let me tell you, although many of our warriors were ambushed and poisoned, the Empress Fengluan and the Saint of the Western Region Holy Church both died in the desert of Shuiyue Oasis! Not only that, the previous king of Xiyue Kingdom, Dongfang Ye, was also deposed. Fengluan and Xiyue have encountered a huge change, and the power of the four countries is about to be reshuffled. The opportunity for our Southern Border to rise has also arrived!"
"Is this true?"
"How could this be false?"
The mood of the people around suddenly changed, and cheers were heard everywhere.
Su Yi felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless ice cellar, and she felt chilled from head to toe.
Madam and Miss's Masters are...
She doesn't believe it!
How could this happen? How could this happen? How sad that lady must be!
"Little bitch, I finally caught you, why don't you run again!" The thug who caught up with her grabbed Su Yi's arm fiercely, "Hurry up and take out the antidote!"
Su Yi turned her head in confusion and looked at the people who had captured her.
The thugs were stunned, "Why are you crying, little bitch? We haven't done anything to you yet! You dare to poison me, and you'll be crying later!"
It’s too late, it’s too late for anything.
After all, she didn't help the young lady at all.
She is the most useless maid in the world. She is not worthy at all...
“Little bitch… ah!!!”
There was another scream, and the arm that grabbed Su Yi and was about to slap her flew straight down.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Su Yi looked up with tearful eyes and saw Yin Xuanmo's stern and ruthless face.
