Jiang Yan disguised herself and changed her appearance, dressing up as a servant.
She glanced out the window secretly, but no one noticed anything unusual.
very good.
She opened the secret room and left the courtyard through the tunnel.
Two streets away, a servant woman walked out of a small house.
The woman took her bag and hailed a donkey cart, "Let's go to Xinmin County."
"Okay!"
The donkey cart carried the woman to Xinmin County.
This woman was none other than Jiang Yan in disguise.
The streets are crowded with people, everyone is busy with their lives, with smiles on their faces.
Jiang Yan couldn't laugh.
She was hesitating, should she just disappear and never show up again, or should she meet up with Zhou Jin as planned?
According to her understanding, in addition to the guards protecting Gu Jiu, there were also four or five secret guards following him.
And they were at the feet of the emperor, so it would be extremely difficult for Zhou Jin to kidnap Gu Jiu.
Zhou Jin had thought about letting Jiang Yan appear in front of Gu Jiu, and when Gu Jiu relaxed his vigilance, he would drug her to make her unconscious, and then take her away.
However, this plan was rejected from the outset.
Jiang Yan told Zhou Jin at the time, "Gu Jiu will not let her guard down when she sees me. Instead, she will be on guard against me at all times. With her intelligence, she will definitely be able to guess what happened when I was resurrected from the dead. And from what I know, Gu Jiu is knowledgeable in medicine. I'm afraid she would have seen through the common drugs before they were even used."
Because Gu Jiu knew medicine, Zhou Jin gave up the plan of letting Jiang Yan show up.
If soft tactics don't work, then use hard tactics. Taking advantage of Gu Jiu's absence, he tied him up.
Jiang Yan has no hope for this.
If it were so easy to kidnap the wife of a prince, why hasn't anyone done it in the past hundreds of years?
Is it true that the public security under the emperor's feet is like a sieve?
Do you really think the Jinwu Guards are vegetarians?
Jiang Yan was against the force from the beginning, but Zhou Jin didn't seem to listen.
Jiang Yan thought for a while and said to the driver, "Let's go to the pickle shop in Sanxiang, Xinmin County."
"Okay!"
The donkey cart drove into Lane 3.
Jiang Yan got off the car and paid the fare.
She observed for a while and made sure that Guo Taohua was the only one in the shop before she walked in.
After such a long time, Guo Taohua was obviously stunned when she saw Jiang Yan again.
Especially Jiang Yan's dress, which was very different from the wealthy look she had shown me last time.
Guo Taohua’s first thought was that Jiang Yan might have had an accident.
She hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yan was excited. "I knew we were the best sisters and you cared about me the most."
Guo Taohua hurriedly asked Jiang Yan to sit down.
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Yan shook her head. "I've been discovered and someone is chasing me. Taohua, is there any place I can hide?"
Guo Taohua was obviously surprised. "Who discovered you? Was it someone from the palace?"
Jiang Yan nodded repeatedly. "It was someone from the palace. A fellow villager I met in the palace before, a eunuch, found me and tried to betray me. I caught him off guard, knocked him out, and escaped. Taohua, I have no relatives in the capital, and now only you can help me."
Jiang Yan held Guo Taohua's hands tightly.
Before Guo Taohua could react, the man of the house came back with the child.
Jiang Yan hurriedly let go of Guo Taohua's hand and lowered her head slightly to prevent others from seeing her appearance.
"Taohua, there are guests." asked the man in charge.
Guo Taohua agreed, "She's renting a house. I'll take her to see the house, and you stay in charge of the shop."
"Go!"
Guo Taohua signaled Jiang Yan to follow quickly.
The two of them left the store together.
Along the way, people kept greeting Guo Taohua. Apparently, she was very popular here and everyone was familiar with her.
Jiang Yan hated this situation, but thankfully, she was wearing a headscarf that covered most of her face. She also deliberately kept her distance from Guo Taohua, so everyone else treated her as a passerby.
After leaving the third alley, no one greeted Guo Taohua, and her ears finally became quiet.
Only then did Jiang Yan walk side by side with Guo Taohua.
Guo Taohua whispered to her, "The head of the household and I bought a small house in Phase 6 and have just furnished two rooms. If you don't mind, you can live in one. The other rooms are empty, so you don't have to worry about anyone discovering you. Can you cook by yourself? If not, I'll go buy a coal stove and light the fire first."
"Thank you Taohua."
"You're welcome. If you're in trouble, of course I'll help you. Will the people chasing you come here?"
"Probably not. They wouldn't think I was still in the capital. I'll hide here for a while, and when the situation calms down, I'll leave."
Guo Taohua breathed a sigh of relief.
In helping Jiang Yan, she also took risks.
All is well and good.
The two came to the sixth period.
The house bought by Guo Taohua and his wife is at the back and the location is a bit remote, but it is cheap.
It's a two-story building with its own entrance, courtyard, and well. This is great.
There are seven bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, all of which are small.
As Guo Taohua said, only two rooms have been furnished, so the house has not yet been rented out.
Jiang Yan will be the first resident of this house.
Jiang Yan secretly despised it.
She had no idea that the houses in Phase 6 were so small.
The combined area of the several rooms was not as big as the room she used to live in.
It couldn't be any smaller.
There is only a bed, a table and a double-door wardrobe, but there is no room to turn around in this room.
"This place is simple, please don't mind." Guo Taohua was a little embarrassed, but also showed pride and pride.
This was the house she and the head of the family bought with their savings, and it was their first property.
She feels that her life will be complete if she has enough money to buy a shop in the future.
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, Taohua. This place is wonderful. I love it. Thank you for helping me in times of crisis."
After saying that, she took out a bunch of silver and handed it to Guo Taohua.
Guo Taohua refused repeatedly, "I don't need so much. The market here is only three hundred coins a month for a room. This is too much."
"It's not much, not at all. Compared to what you've done for me, it's nothing. And I don't know how long I'll be staying. Anyway, take this money. I might even need you to help me with something."
Guo Taohua hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take the money first. I'll keep a record of it. When you leave, I'll refund you any excess or make up for any shortfall."
Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.
Guo Taohua said, "I'm going out for a while to buy the coal stove, rice, flour, meat and vegetables. Please sit down for a while. Here's the key. If you go out, remember to lock the door."
"I will."
Guo Taohua left in a hurry because she was in a hurry.
Jiang Yan brought a stool and sat by the window, allowing her to see what was happening outside the house.
She calculated the time, feeling a little nervous and excited.
Until the door downstairs creaked.
"Taohua, are you back? Why so soon?"
He just went out for a while, why are you back already?
Jiang Yan walked out of the room and into the corridor. She looked downstairs and was horrified. She quickly turned around and ran back into the house.
In such a small house, there was no place for her to hide.
She had nowhere to escape.
After the initial panic, she made up her mind.
At this point, since there is nowhere to escape, we might as well give it a try.
She calmed herself down, walked down the stairs and came to the first floor.
Tables, chairs and benches have been placed in the patio on the first floor.
Liu Zhao was sitting with his legs crossed, looking relaxed.
He looked at Jiang Yan with a half-smile, as if he was looking at an ant, who could be crushed to death with just a slight pinch.
Jiang Yan walked straight towards Liu Zhao, "Are you the noble man Zhou Miao mentioned?"
Liu Zhao nodded.
"It turns out it really wasn't Gu Jiu."
Liu Zhao smiled and said, "It's not her! She is very busy and has no time to deal with such trivial matters."
At this moment, Jiang Yan's expression twisted.
She grabbed the armrest of the chair and said, "So, you were the one who rescued me from the underground palace?"
Liu Zhao admitted generously, "It is this, Your Highness."
"Why? What can I do that you can use?"
"Why ask this question when you already know the answer?" Liu Zhao said sarcastically.
Jiang Yan suppressed her anger. "How did you find me? How did you get here so quickly?"
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Qian Fu stepped forward and said, "Our people have been following you the whole time, but you just didn't notice. The reason we didn't stop you at first was because we wanted to see where you would escape to. We thought you would leave the capital, but we didn't expect you to choose to hide in Xinmin County."
Jiang Yan laughed bitterly, "So my every move is under your surveillance. So Zhou Miao is just a bait."
"Yes and no. We didn't expect you to poison us. You can't judge a person by his appearance." Qian Fu looked expressionless and serious.
Jiang Yan sneered, "Aren't you afraid that I'll use my old tricks again and poison you again?"
"You have no chance." Qian Fu said affirmatively.
Jiang Yan snorted, raised her head, and looked directly at Liu Zhao, "Now, what are you going to do? Let me go back to Zhou Jin?"
Liu Zhao shook his head. "It's over. Everything is over. The reason I showed up was to see you, my chess piece. After all, I've used you for so many years. Even if I die, I want you to die knowingly."
Jiang Yan's face turned pale. "What do you mean? Aren't you going to catch Zhou Jin? You sent me to Jiangnan just to catch Zhou Jin, right? I can help you."
Liu Zhao shook his head, "No need!"
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Everyone else followed Liu Zhao and left the small house one after another.
Jiang Yan was stunned. What did this mean?
Don't kill her?
Want to spare her life?
Just as she was rejoicing, she felt a sharp pain in the back.
A dagger pierced her heart from behind.
Gulp gulp…
A strange sound came from her throat.
She slowly turned her head, wanting to see clearly who killed her.
She saw it clearly.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
She pointed at him, "It's you! How dare you kill me?"
He sneered, "Because you're useless now."
"How is this possible? What is going on? How could you...you, I don't believe it."
Jiang Yan held her breath, knowing that if she didn't get to the bottom of it, she would die with regrets.
