Chapter 905 Escape Route
Wang Jinhu saw things much further ahead and sensed something was very wrong.
She and Biyu were engaged, but Biyu left the Daqi army camp without saying goodbye, which shows that Biyu regarded him as an outsider and had no intention of remarrying.
"Biyu's complaint has nothing to do with us siblings; it was all Yang the Pighead's doing, and to help her get revenge, I..."
Wang Binglan was ashamed to talk about it; it was the stupidest thing she had ever done in her life, a self-inflicted wound.
Biyu was ungrateful, but Wang Binglan didn't blame her, since things hadn't gone as planned.
She was insulted by Yang Zhutou, but Biyu selfishly hid away and secretly watched the show. Anyone would feel wronged, right? Is Wang Binglan not allowed to have any resentment in her heart?
Before the brother and sister could even get serious, Biyu ran away first. What happened to their promise of mutual trust?
"She is a smart person."
After calming down, Wang Jinhu felt the situation was becoming increasingly difficult.
"Brother, I don't understand what you mean. Biyu went to the chief to say she wanted to break off the engagement. It won't cause us much of a loss."
Wang Binglan was puzzled. In any case, Biyu had lost her innocence, and her elder brother deserved a better woman.
"Little sister, you and I are both subordinates of the leader, the most deeply hidden people of the alien race."
Wang Jinhu shook his head. If it were just a matter of breaking off the engagement, that would be ideal. However, the reality was unlikely to be that simple.
Because of the siblings' status, they are of great value to the leader. Those in power always prioritize their own interests and would agree to Biyu's request to break off the engagement.
The leader will use his own daughter as much as he can, and will only try to smooth things over.
Wang Binglan agreed, after all, Biyu was born to Hua Niang and had been raised in the brothel in her early years.
If the leader truly cared about this youngest daughter, he would have brought her back long ago, instead of waiting until now.
Right now, Biyu has been betrothed to her elder brother, but it's just a nice-sounding way of consolidating their relationship.
Logically, if Biyu had been taken away, the leader should have left a message for the brother and sister, but the fact that there has been no news so far further proves that the situation is not good.
"That's the problem. To save her life, Biyu has to break off the engagement. Do you think she won't gossip about us siblings, given her character?"
Unless absolutely necessary and driven by self-interest, breaking off a marriage is impossible.
Unless, of course, there is no conflict of interest.
After listening to her older brother's analysis, Wang Binglan was extremely impressed. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
"If Biyu tells the chief that the two of us have been secretly communicating with Helian Cheng, what do you think the chief will do?"
A single provocation shattered what seemed like a stable relationship, simply because the alien race itself was not so harmonious.
As the leader's subordinate, Helian Cheng was very close to Yuwen Kun. The leader even suspected that the two of them had joined forces to get rid of him.
With Helian Cheng in power and countless soldiers under his command, the leader had to both utilize and guard against him.
"If Biyu speaks carelessly and the chief listens to her, what will we siblings do?"
Wang Binglan panicked. The idea that the two of them had sided with Helian Cheng was utterly absurd!
"Your innocence does not mean that others see you as innocent."
Wang Jinhu scratched his hair, looking annoyed.
That little vixen, Biyu, has really screwed over the brother and sister; all their previous efforts have vanished in an instant.
"Big brother, let's go find the leader and explain!"
Wang Binglan was also anxious. The two of them had done too many things to betray Qi Heng, and there was no way they could turn back.
"explain?"
The leader refused to mention it, and when the brother and sister stepped forward to explain, it was like trying to hide something obvious, which only made their fate worse.
The leader is not mindless. After Biyu stirred things up, she planted a seed of doubt in his mind, forming a preconceived notion. The brother and sister could not explain themselves to him, and he lost trust. After being used in this way, he was very likely to be dealt with.
The only option now is to seek refuge with Helian Cheng.
"Little sister, after Biyu escaped, my brother and I are at risk of being exposed at any time."
Wang Jinhu stood up and escorted Wang Binglan back to her room, telling her to pack her things quickly, as the two of them had to leave the border of Daqi.
"Big brother, where are you going?"
Wang Binglan panicked. She gave the silver to Lin Yuesha, but the jewelry hadn't been pawned yet. If she left, she wouldn't be able to get the pills.
The pills that would restore her to perfect health were bought by her behind her older brother's back at a high price, and Wang Binglan had high hopes for them.
"I'll go prepare."
The more people who know, the greater the danger; Wang Jinhu has no way out.
Before Qi Heng could notice, he made a copy of the city defense map and took it with him to Helian City.
If it's completely useless, Helian Cheng isn't stupid. Accepting two hot potatoes would be tantamount to declaring war on the leader.
This is the brother and sister's final destination. If Helian Cheng does not bring them under his control, they will have no choice but to flee.
Qi Heng's position was exposed, the leader became suspicious, and he was pursued from both sides. There was no way he could survive!
"Big brother, do you regret it?"
Wang Binglan gradually regained her composure and asked.
Actually, she did have some regrets. Qi Heng had treated them, siblings well, but after learning of Wang Jinhu's betrayal of Qi Heng, she didn't play a good role and instead fueled the flames.
Jealousy blinded Wang Binglan, making her want revenge.
No regrets.
For thousands of years, there has been an irreconcilable hatred between the foreign tribes and the Great Qi. Moreover, their parents died under the swords of the Protector General's Mansion and his gang. The brother and sister should avenge their parents.
If he had any regrets, Wang Jinhu regretted finding out too late; he had done too much for Qi Heng.
"Okay, I'll pack. Be careful too."
Wang Binglan steeled her heart; now that things had come to this, there was no turning back. She had no choice.
After packing her bags, Wang Binglan went to Lin Yuesha's courtyard.
“Miss Binglan, Biyu really didn’t come.”
Lin Yuesha arranged to go to Wucheng with Xu Da, but Xu Da dragged his feet and made her wait for almost half an hour.
Bai Cha had already gone to the military tent to urge them on, leaving Lin Yuesha to wait in the carriage.
"I'm not here to look for Biyu."
Wang Binglan adjusted her expression and smiled, "Sister-in-law, I feel much better after you comforted me yesterday."
"Yes, it's good to think positively. After all, you have to look forward to life. A scumbag can ruin your whole life and he won't feel any remorse."
Lin Yuesha asked with a smile, "So you came here specifically to thank me?"
"No, I want the pills."
The money was exchanged for the goods, and the silver and jade were given to Lin Yuesha, but she did not receive the subsequent pills.
Since it was a rather private matter, Wang Binglan was too embarrassed to go directly to the Medicine King, so she had to ask Lin Yuesha to act as an intermediary.
Don't think she doesn't know. Lin Yuesha must have received a lot of benefits, but Wang Binglan had no way to get them, so she had to be the sucker.
There's still a chance to earn money, but medicine is hard to find.
“Miss Binglan, to be honest, I have obtained the pills, but the follow-up tonics must be provided.”
It was right in the middle of the year, and it was inconvenient to buy medicinal herbs. We would have to wait until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Wait another ten days or so, and the effect of the pills will be the same; there is no difference.
