Chapter 186 Hint
Sun Wei said, "The world is full of confusion, mostly due to insatiable desires. I accompanied the military supervisor to Wujun, and the prince also gave the military supervisor the first credit. Isn't that not thoughtful enough? If you really want the military supervisor's best interests at heart, you should persuade him more."
Li Mo smiled but did not answer.
If he could be persuaded, it wouldn't have come to this.
"I had a long conversation with the princess today, and it was very beneficial." Li Mo turned back to look at the temple and said, "This temple is quite old, and many famous monks have practiced here. Turn left from the stairs we just came up and you can continue up the mountain. There are many caves on the mountain where monks practiced, and perhaps some Buddhist scriptures are left behind. It's still half an hour before dark, so I plan to go explore it."
Sun Wei followed Li Mo's gaze towards the mountain and saw that there were indeed caves of various sizes.
She thought the man was a monster.
At this time, I still have the energy to go hiking and read scriptures.
"Sir, you are in good spirits," she said. "Didn't you receive orders from the military supervisor to see if there is any smoke rising from Linhai City below?"
"I am an aide-de-camp and have done what I can. Moreover, I am devoted to Buddhism and will not kill. The princess's life and death will be handled by the military supervisors, so there is no need for me to do anything."
After hearing this, Sun Wei looked back.
A hundred steps away, a general under Wang Zhi led a dozen people and stared at this side.
The man's name was Xiang Yun, and he was Wang Zhi's confidant.
Looking at the horizon again, the sun was slowly setting and the time was getting closer.
"Sir, you just said that if the military supervisor captured Kong Qi, you wouldn't make things difficult for me. So, won't these people behind me be in trouble too?"
Li Mo said calmly, "I have already told you enough. It's still some time before dark, so you can enjoy the scenery here. If you have any concerns, there is a great place. Go up about a hundred steps and you will see an ancient cypress tree by the road. Behind the tree is a small cave, very hidden. It is said that making a wish there will make anything come true. Why don't you give it a try, Princess?"
Sun Wei looked at Li Mo and found the words strange.
Li Mo said no more, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.
Sun Wei looked at Li Mo's back, called Yin Wen over, and asked, "Did the captain hear what Mr. Li said just now?"
"I heard you, don't worry, Princess. I will protect you at all costs."
Sun Wei asked, "Captain Yin, have you carefully counted how many people Wang Zhi left behind?"
"I counted them, at least thirty." Yin Wen said with a resolute expression, "Although I only brought twelve people with me, each of them is skilled and capable. Even if it means risking their lives, they will protect the princess."
"What if I lose the bet?"
Yin Wen was stunned.
"It's not time to fight now." Sun Wei said, "Where is she?"
Yin Wen immediately understood and said, "According to the princess's earlier instructions, she must have been waiting in the guesthouse."
Sun Wei gave Yin Wen a few instructions and then went to the guest house.
Yin Wen led his men to protect Sun Wei, while Xiang Yun led his men to follow closely behind them. Sun Wei looked behind him and found the scene really funny.
The monks were most afraid of weapons, so when they saw this group of people, they had already hidden away.
The temple prepared a guest house for Sun Wei to rest. Before entering, Sun Wei asked Yin Wen to lead a few guards to the dining hall for dinner.
"Commander Xiang, why don't we go together?" She suddenly looked at Xiang Yun who was not far away.
Xiang Yun didn't expect Sun Wei to speak to him, so he just bowed and said, "No need. I'll be waiting here, ready for the princess's orders at any time."
Sun Wei said nothing and went into the house.
Closing the door, she said, "Come out."
After saying that, Aju, who was supposed to go to Linhai, jumped down from the beam.
In fact, Aju never left far.
That day, she simply let one of the palace soldiers' horses go while it was dark, and then hid in the carriage to create the illusion of leaving.
Sun Wei did this on purpose. Firstly, it would throw Wang Zhi off balance; secondly, it would allow Aju to escape surveillance and react accordingly.
She thought about it and realized that if Wang Zhi, that idiot, didn't have her in his hands, he would be no match for Sima Jun.
Instead of worrying about Sima Jun, it is better to protect herself.
Now, this method really comes in handy.
She told Aju what Li Mo had said briefly.
A'ru said, "So the Crown Prince has apprehended the ringleader. No wonder Wang Zhi had to make this trip no matter what. But I don't think the Princess needs to worry. The Crown Prince will definitely prioritize the Princess and keep Wang Zhi in check. Although Wang Zhi is a bad guy, he will have to get along with the Crown Prince in the future. Would he dare to both take Kong Qi and kill the Princess?"
"You underestimated him." Sun Wei said, "Whether he can capture Kong Qi or not, whether smoke rises in the city or not, he will probably kill me."
A'ru couldn't believe it: "How did the princess know?"
Sun Wei was not completely sure, but she felt that what Li Mo said just now was not just a casual remark.
"It's always better to be more careful." Sun Wei said.
"Then, Princess, flee." A'ru said decisively, "As long as Captain Yin can prepare a horse, I can take you away from here."
Sun Wei shook his head. "I'm not good at riding. Even if you take me with you, two people on one horse, we can't escape the pursuit of Wang Zhi's men. In the end, we'll just get into trouble."
"What does the princess think?"
"You will do as I say."
After Sun Wei gave the order, the sky darkened a little.
Suddenly, someone outside cried out, "Thick smoke! Thick smoke!"
Xiang Yun got the news and immediately knocked on the door: "Princess, please come out and see me."
There was no movement inside.
"Please come out and see me, Princess." Xiang Yun knocked on the door again.
Still no movement.
Xiang Yun felt something was wrong and shouted, "Forgive my rudeness!"
After saying that, he kicked the door open.
I saw a woman wearing a veil jumping out of the rear window.
"Don't let her run away!" Xiang Yun asked someone to go around to the back of the house and jumped out of the window.
The figure was small and agile. It climbed up the wall with the help of trees, and then onto the roof.
Everyone was shocked.
Xiang Yun immediately ordered people to chase her in the direction she ran.
Outside the temple wall, the guards who had been sent to eat were already waiting. The woman jumped down and sat on the horse. Everyone spurred their horses and galloped away.
"Quickly bring the horses!" Xiang Yun called anxiously, "Chase!"
In the guest house that had long since returned to silence, Yin Wen carefully came back and helped Sun Wei out of the closet where she was hiding.
"Princess," he asked, "Is everything alright?"
Sun Wei looked at the mess in the room and said, "Now is not the time to relax. Are they all gone?"
Yin Wen was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, he immediately said, "Let's go!"
The two of them hurriedly left the guesthouse and hid behind the house, then they heard Xiang Yun and others coming back.
"I told you something was wrong. That woman is so agile, how can she look like the weak Princess Yuzhang? Also, where did that kid Yin Wen go? Search him!"
Sun Wei and Yin Wen looked at each other and knew that Xiang Yun was indeed a tricky person.
The gate to the courtyard was blocked, but there was a door not far away that led to the back mountain.
