Chapter 446: Escape
"What are your plans, sir?"
"I will disguise myself as you, and then 'accidentally' be caught by the soldiers of Jin State on the street. After I am caught, you will wait for the opportunity to escape." Zhou Qing's appearance had been exposed. She could not be competent for the work of a spy and could only return to Chu State as soon as possible.
When Zhou Qing heard that Su Ying wanted to be arrested in his place, he refused to agree, "How can this be possible? How can I let you take the risk?"
Su Ying said, "I will find a way to get out of this. You don't have to worry about this. When you get out of this, wait for me at the post station outside the border of Chu State. I will meet you as soon as possible." After that, she pushed the bundle on the table in front of her and said, "Put on this mask before you leave. I will find you according to the appearance of the mask."
Zhou Qing was still worried about Su Ying's safety. She had to admit that after spending the past few days together, she had gradually come to trust Su Ying more. If something happened to him because of her, she would feel somewhat guilty, after all, it was she who the Jin soldiers wanted to capture.
Su Ying had made up her mind. No matter what Zhou Qing said, she would not give in. She had no choice but to do as he said.
"How are you investigating the matter with the deputy director?"
Zhou Qing took out a stack of letters from his pocket and said, "This is the letter I found in the secret compartment of the deputy director's room. From the content of the letter, I can tell that he should be working for a certain force in the Chu State."
Su Ying opened the letters and read them one by one. The contents of the letters were very brief. They basically asked the deputy director to report the situation here in a timely manner. There was no information in the letters that would expose the other party's identity.
Su Ying put the letters away and said, "I will keep these letters for now. I will give them to the emperor after returning to Chu."
"good."
The golden light breaks through the dawn and it is daybreak.
Su Ying changed into Zhou Qing's dress and left the yard.
Zhou Qing was worried about Su Ying, so he had been waiting outside the government office of the border town after Su Ying left. The border town was under the jurisdiction of the city guard, and the officers and soldiers would immediately take the captured people to the jail in the city guard's mansion.
On the third day of his imprisonment, Zhou Qing saw soldiers escorting "her" into the city defense office.
Zhou Qing's heart began to lift as he watched Su Ying being brought into the City Guard's Mansion.
The gate of the checkpoint was opened the day after Su Ying was arrested, and the people who had been waiting at the gate quickly lined up to exit.
When it was Zhou Qing's turn, she took out the clearance document she had prepared long ago. The officers and soldiers did not suspect anything and let her go after checking.
The moment he stepped out of the Jin State pass, Zhou Qing looked back at the gate and then rode away.
The border of Jin State is neither close nor far from the border of Chu State. Zhou Qing followed Su Ying's instructions and set off on his journey after leaving the city. He rode his horse all the way and saw the Chu State pass after a few days.
There was an inn outside the pass. Zhou Qing took out his official badge and stayed at the inn waiting for Su Ying's arrival.
She originally thought it would take several days, but to her surprise, Su Ying arrived on the third day after she arrived at the post station.
Zhou Qing stood on the corridor on the second floor of the inn and looked at Su Ying who came in with great surprise, but there was no change on her face. After confirming which room Su Ying lived in, she turned around and went back into the house.
It was not until late at night that she quietly came to Su Ying's door and knocked.
After a moment, Su Ying's cold voice came from inside the room.
Zhou Qing pushed the door open and walked in. The moment she closed the door, she couldn't hold back a smile on her face any longer. "Sir, why are you so quick? Are you not hurt?"
Su Ying was sitting on a chair eating dried meat. After hearing this, she took a break and said, "It's okay."
"It's good, it's good." Zhou Qing was really happy, even happier than when he had successfully escaped from the State of Jin.
Su Ying was indeed fine. After she was captured by the Jin soldiers, she used medicine to pretend to be sick. Before retrieving the defense map, the Jin soldiers would not let her die, so they called a doctor to treat her.
During her "coma", Su Ying heard the conversation between the officers and confirmed that the pass had been opened. She then disappeared into the city guard's mansion in the border town that night. The process was relatively smooth. As long as she left quickly enough, those people would not be able to catch her.
"We will enter the country after daybreak."
"good."
After making sure that Su Ying was okay, Zhou Qing returned to his room.
Su Ying also lay down on the bed. Maybe it was because she was about to return to Chu, but she actually suffered from insomnia.
She looked at the tent ceiling that had been washed white and let out a breath. In the dead of night, all the thoughts that had been pent up in her heart burst out.
Zhou Qing learned from her companions that Xiao Jin had been sending people to look for her whereabouts during the time she disappeared, and he actually stubbornly believed that he was not dead.
Su Ying slowly closed her eyes, and the outline of Xiao Jin in her mind gradually became clear. The situation of falling from the dam was very dangerous. If she had not escaped into the space in time, she would have died without a doubt.
Could it be that God couldn't bear to see her fighting in the apocalypse for so many years, so he sent her to this place and gave her such a big cheat?
Su Ying fell into a deep sleep with complicated thoughts. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn outside.
After getting up in the morning, Su Ying had changed back into her previous men's clothes, while Zhou Qing dressed up as a maid. The two left the post station through the back door, and the clerk at the front desk did not notice their changes.
The post station was very close to the border gate. When they arrived, many people were already waiting outside the gate, all wanting to enter the country.
Su Ying and others were outside the pass, but their eyes were looking towards the northern wilderness.
I remember the last time I came out of the pass was when I was exiled to the northern wilderness. So much time has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time she had been there, she had not received any news from there and did not know what the current situation in Tiankui City was.
"Take out the spy." While Su Ying was deep in thought, she had arrived at the checkpoint. She did not have a spy, but took out a token of the imperial guards from her body. This token was given to her by Xiao Jin when she left the capital. He said that with this token she could travel freely in the State of Chu.
The guarding officer showed a strange look in his eyes when he saw the token. He took Su Ying aside and found the deputy general on duty. As an unknown person, he had no chance to see a token like this, but the dragon pattern on the token made him know that this token was definitely not that simple.
After the deputy general took Su Ying's token and looked at it, he confirmed that it was authentic. He did not ask any more questions. Those who could get the token were all the emperor's confidants. The things that the emperor asked his confidants to do must not be easily known to outsiders.
Looking at the gold medal in Su Ying's hand, Zhou Qing has completely believed in Su Ying's identity.
Su Ying rode on the horse, breathing the air of Chu State and felt much more relaxed.
Zhou Qing rode on horseback to catch up with Su Ying. She was very curious. Su Ying came to look for the Queen, but now they had already entered the pass and there was still no sign of the Queen?
She really wanted to ask where the Queen was.
