During the ship's voyage at sea, Xu Jie did not have Lin Chuxia locked up, since even if she wanted to escape, she wouldn't be able to.
Lin Chuxia had relatively free access to the deck and would often go up to get some fresh air. Gu Jiu, in order to maintain the illusion that he was still recovering from a serious injury, hadn't stepped out of his room at all these days.
Gu Jiu was locked in the room next to Lin Chuxia's.
When Lin Chuxia returned from the deck, she took the information she had just received the day before and went into Gu Jiu's room.
Upon learning that the ship was about to land, Gu Jiu pondered for a long time before whispering, "Young Madam, once we're ashore, Xu Jie and his men will be more vigilant. Escaping might not be the best option then. But we have no other choice. We don't know where they're taking us, and the enemy's forces will only increase, not decrease, wherever we go. It will probably be even harder to find an opportunity then..."
So, I'd like to try during the chaos when we land... but we'll stick to the day we land. If the chances of escape are slim, we'll put our plan on hold for now. At that time, you…”
...
On the third day after Gu Jiu's agreement, the ship successfully docked.
To those on the shore, Lin Chuxia and Gu Jiu appeared to have landed normally, but in reality, she was surrounded by Xu Jie's men.
Furthermore, Xu Jie's men seemed to have some reservations about Gu Jiu, and before disembarking, they had Gu Jiu's hands and feet tied up. At this moment, under Gu Jiu's long shirt and trousers, there was a thick hemp rope.
Gu Jiu thought the chances of escaping this time were close to zero, but just as he was about to give up his escape plan, he inadvertently saw a familiar face on the shore.
This is... one of their people, and there's more than one!
Third Master is very likely nearby!
He was stunned for a moment, then filled with joy, though he showed no sign of it on his face.
As he disembarked, Gu Jiu pretended to trip and fall. As he bent over, he quickly untied the ropes binding him and then shoved aside the two people closest to Lin Chuxia.
"Young Madam, run! To the southwest!"
Xu Jie thought that they would be safe once they tied Gu Jiu up, but little did they know that Lin Chuxia and Gu Jiu had not been idle during this time.
Because their rooms were next to each other, they secretly chiseled a hole in the wall without Xu Jie and the others knowing.
They thought the cave would be mostly useless, but unexpectedly, just as they were about to reach the shore, Xu Jie sent people to guard their room and prevent them from entering or leaving, and then tied Gu Jiu's hands and feet.
So, the little hole they had painstakingly dug came in handy.
Through the small opening, Lin Chuxia helped Gu Jiu untie the knot in his hands. Gu Jiu was already familiar with reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance work. After gaining his freedom, he tied a knot that looked secure but could be easily pulled open, thus successfully avoiding Xu Jie's inspection before disembarking.
The moment Gu Jiu made his move, the people Gu Yuheng had been lying in ambush on the shore also moved at the same time, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.
Some of the people who came to chase Lin Chuxia were stopped by Gu Jiu, while others were stopped by people lying in ambush on the shore.
However, even so, she didn't get very far before she was captured again.
Lin Chuxia instinctively broke free, wanting to turn around and punch the person behind her—
"Wife, it's me."
A familiar voice came from beside my ear.
Lin Chuxia paused, and asked in disbelief, "Gu Yuheng?"
"Yes, I'm here."
The familiar scent wafted over, and Lin Chuxia's tense nerves finally relaxed.
At that moment, tears streamed down my face.
She said with a hint of grievance, "You finally came to pick me up. I've been waiting for you for so long."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault... I won't do it again."
He swore on his life that he would never let her be involved in any danger again. He promised.
The missing half of my heart has finally been found and filled to the brim.
Gu Yuheng took her hand and gently placed a careful kiss on it, then suddenly knelt on one knee, his eyes fixed on her with focused and deep affection:
"Honey, I've come to take you home."
Without Gu Yuheng saying anything, Lin Chuxia took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck, sit in his lap, and then asked with a smile, "Is the wedding ready?"
"Everything is ready." Gu Yuheng picked her up.
"Let's go back and hold the wedding then!"
"good!"
"And then...we'll never be apart again."
Gu Yuheng paused almost imperceptibly, then hugged the person in his arms even tighter.
At that moment, a light flashed quickly in the man's eyes, as soft and warm as the afterglow of the setting sun. Although it was very faint, it was clearly visible.
"good."
At this moment, his world is in his arms.
