Chapter 168: Hiding one's identity (finale)
"call!"
Chen Xue stood in the space and breathed a sigh of relief. After entering the space, she quickly exchanged for the antidote, which removed the drug in her body.
"Are you okay?" Mother Chen looked at Chen Xue worriedly.
"fine!"
"So when are we going out?"
Mother Chen couldn't help but say, "Other people must have noticed our situation. If we don't calculate the time well and suddenly show up, I'm afraid..."
The space might be exposed by then.
"Besides, what are they going to do?"
Mother Chen pointed at the two guards in the small dark room.
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Xue and the others frowned. This was a problem.
Two big problems.
"Dad, maybe this is our chance!"
Chen Xue's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at her father with excitement in her eyes.
"You mean..."
No one knows a daughter better than her father. Lord Chen quickly understood what his daughter meant, and You suddenly became a little hesitant.
"What are you talking about?"
Mother Chen became a little confused.
"Xiaoxue means we can use this opportunity to escape..."
Lord Chen explained, "Everyone will see the ship on fire and sinking, and then they will think we have been washed away. In other words, we will be 'dead' in their eyes."
The Changhe River is a large river connecting the north and the south. It is several hundred meters wide and the water flow is very fast in the center. If someone falls into the river, they will be washed away in an instant and their bodies will not be found.
Therefore, as long as they don't go out, the court or the whole world will think that their family is dead.
They just need to wait for a while and go out after the storm is over.
Then appearing with a new identity means a new life.
There is no need to exile to the southern barbarians anymore.
Because they are nominally "dead".
Moreover, the imperial court would not issue any wanted warrants, because they did not escape, but their bodies were found nowhere to be found.
Hearing this, Chen's mother also became a little excited.
"If that's the case, then what are you still hesitating about!"
Compared to being exiled to the southern barbarians, she would rather hide her identity and restart her life.
"Yes!" Lord Chen sighed. If he was exiled to the Southern Barbarians, he might not even be able to save his life, let alone now that God has given him a chance to start over.
"Then let's hide in space for a while!"
"Then what should they do?" Chen Xue looked at the two guards in the small dark room. The best way would be to kill them like the so-called villains.
But they are not villains and cannot be so cruel. Moreover, these two guards have been protecting them wholeheartedly. How heartless must they be to repay kindness with evil?
But if you don’t think of a solution.
When they wake up, not only the space will be exposed.
And after they leave, knowing that they have changed their identities, I don’t know whether they will continue to stay with them to protect them.
What if they choose to leave?
For a moment, everyone looked embarrassed.
Suddenly, Master Chen's eyes lit up, "Xiaoxue, do you remember the magic you used to confuse Zhao Guang?"
"Dad, are you talking about hypnosis?"
Chen Xue's eyes lit up. This was a good idea.
Not only can it solve the problem of not killing people to silence them, but it can also keep the secret.
In the days that followed, Chen Xue and her family hid in the space.
The two guards also woke up.
Chen Xue would hypnotize them almost every day before letting them come out of the room.
A group of people hid for nearly a month.
Fortunately, there was enough food in the space, and there were two more laborers who took care of the work of farming, growing vegetables, raising pigs and feeding chickens. Chen Xue and the others were freed and harvested more food.
During this month, Chen Xue secretly came out of the space several times in the middle of the night to see if there was anyone outside.
It turns out that there are still people searching.
It’s been ten days or half a month.
Later I found out that some of them were Lord Tan's men, and this place was under his jurisdiction.
How could he return to the capital to report when his teacher was in trouble? So he stayed and continued searching on the river with a group of people.
There were also some people who were Xie Yunshang's men. When they heard that something had happened to Lord Chen, they immediately called a group of people over.
If he is alive, I want to see him in person; if he is dead, I want to see his body.
So, even after ten days or half a month, they still haven't given up.
After Chen Xue and others learned about this, they were moved and felt a little guilty.
But after all, this is a matter of life and death, so the fewer people who know about it, the less they know, so they did not contact Tan Shuxian and Xie Yunshang.
So, they could only wait and wait.
Until one night two months later.
They found the opportunity.
Late at night, a bamboo raft suddenly appeared on the river, and soon, several figures appeared on the raft one after another.
It was Chen Xue’s family.
Tonight, I don’t know if the searchers have given up or are taking a break.
All in all, the river was very calm today.
Chen Dan paddled the bamboo raft and quickly rowed downstream with Chen Xue.
Lord Chen and the others were still in space and would not appear until they reached a safe place.
Because it is downstream, the speed is fast. Although it is impossible to travel a thousand miles in one night, it is still possible to travel dozens of miles.
After that, they found a place to go ashore, hired a carriage, and continued to head south.
It was not until they arrived in a small town in the south that Chen Xue and others chose to settle there.
The town is not small, but not very big, and there are many businessmen coming and going.
Therefore, Chen Xue's family settling here did not attract much attention.
Chen Xue emptied out his house before he was exiled, so he had no shortage of money.
They soon settled down in "Anju Town".
Live here for several years.
In these few years.
Lord Chen finally contacted Xie Yunshang. After all, Chen Xiaohua's family was exiled. They were not heartless people. After all, they followed his family.
Xie Yunshang was overjoyed to know that Lord Chen and his family were still alive, and told him that Chen Xiaohua and his family were living well in Nanman. Firstly, they had Xu Tian's care, and secondly, Chen Xiaohua knew medicine, and they were protected by some guards from the Chen family, so they were living quite well.
Xie Yunshang knew that Chen Jia was alive, but he didn't tell anyone else, not even his father, and he also helped Master Chen hide the information.
He also instructed the two guards following Lord Chen that they didn't need to come back in the future and just needed to stay to protect Lord Chen. Xie Yunshang also promised to take good care of their families.
Therefore, these two guards who had been hypnotized by Chen Xue guarded the Chen family honestly and loyally.
The Chen family lived an ordinary life in the small town.
With space as a backup, they have no shortage of resources.
Therefore, they never thought about doing business and living a low-key life.
Without worries about lack of money or being exiled, Chen Xue's family lived a comfortable life and just lay down their beds.
However, they will still pay attention to the developments in the outside world. It is said that after Lord Tan entered the capital, he was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the following few years.
Moreover, the current emperor accidentally fell into the water and died. The second prince tried to usurp the throne, but ultimately failed because he was too hasty.
After the prince ascended the throne, he issued a general amnesty.
Xie Yunshang, Tan Shuxian and others successively wrote letters requesting that Mr. Chen be cleared of all charges. After investigation, they discovered that the mastermind behind the incident was the Prime Minister and the Second Prince behind him.
The prince naturally wanted to punish the fallen dog and wrote an imperial edict to announce the true identity of the second prince to the world and to clear the name of the Chen family.
The Chen family finally no longer had to hide their identities, but they didn't care at all and lived a comfortable life.
