Chapter 1123 Do you want to escape?
Fang Wujiu knocked on the door to wake up his two fellow apprentices.
Wen Jiucheng and Pei Qianhuo opened the door and walked out without even putting on their clothes.
When they saw the junior sister, they were all stunned and asked at the same time.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Xixi told her about her dream in which her master was murdered.
"I am very worried about Master's safety, so I have to go to Nanyue myself. Do you want to go with us?"
Wen Jiucheng and Pei Qianhuo naturally agreed without thinking.
They were all brought up by the master and have a deep bond with him. How could they remain indifferent knowing that the master was in danger? !
While Wen Jiucheng and Pei Qianhuo were changing clothes, Fang Wujiu went to the kitchen to take out the steamed buns left over from the day, and also took out two large bowls of dried fish and chicken strips from the cupboard.
Originally, these were snacks prepared for Lao Wang, but now that they are leaving, it would be a waste to leave these foods alone. It would be better to take them all with them and use them as dry food on the road.
Fang Wujiu wrapped up all the food in a bag and also filled four water bags.
When everything was ready, the four of them set off.
Wen Jiucheng asked: "The city gates should not be open at this time, how can we leave the city?"
Xiao Xixi: "I know there is a tunnel that leads directly to the outside of the city, but I'm not sure if that tunnel is still there. Let's go check it out first. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."
When Prince Xiling and Qin Zhong rebelled, Luo Qinghan had people dig a tunnel leading out of the city in advance so that they could capture the city as quickly as possible with the help of internal and external forces.
Since then, no one has mentioned the tunnel again.
A group of four came to the backyard of Xu's Pawn Shop.
The owner of this shop had long ago left Shengjing with his wife and children. Now this yard is just an empty shell, with nothing inside. The yard is overgrown with weeds and looks very desolate.
Xiao Xixi pushed open the door of the woodshed in the backyard, knelt on the ground and knocked, and soon found the entrance to the tunnel.
He pulled open an iron door, revealing a dark tunnel.
She couldn't help but feel fortunate, thank God, that Luo Qinghan didn't have anyone seal the tunnel.
Fang Wujiu was the first to enter the tunnel.
He picked up the torch stuck on the wall and lit it with the tinder he carried with him.
The remaining three entered the secret passage one after another.
Wen Jiucheng, who left early, closed the tunnel door very carefully to avoid being discovered by others.
The four of them walked along the tunnel.
It took a long time to see the end.
Fang Wujiu gently pushed open the door of the tunnel and looked out through the gap. It was pitch black outside and there was no sign of any human figure.
He climbed out of the tunnel carefully, and Xiao Xixi followed closely behind him.
Then came Pei Qianhuo and Wen Jiucheng.
When the four people climbed out of the tunnel, they found that the exit of the tunnel was right next to the city wall. As long as they looked up, they could see the soldiers standing on the top of the city wall.
Wen Jiucheng carefully hid the tunnel exit.
Fang Wujiu discovered that a patrol team was coming this way, and immediately called on the other three to leave quickly.
There is a moat outside the city wall. If you want to cross the moat, you must pass over the bridge.
But there were guards on the bridge. Once anyone went up the bridge, they would definitely be discovered by the guards. If the noise got too loud, the nearby patrols would be attracted, and then the four of them would have no chance of escaping.
Fang Wujiu said in a deep voice: "Get in the water, let's swim over!"
All four of them can swim and are quite good at it, so swimming across the moat is no problem for them.
The four of them jumped into the water one after another and swam hard towards the other side of the river.
Xiao Xixi was unlucky. While crossing the river, she was swept away for a long distance by a big wave, causing her to choke on water twice.
When she finally managed to keep her balance, she found that her fellow brothers had disappeared.
The river was very turbulent. Xiao Xixi was afraid that another big wave would come, so she didn't dare to stay in the river for too long. She immediately sped up and swam to the other side of the river.
Anyway, she knows how to calculate the direction, so even if she is separated from her senior brothers temporarily, she can find them quickly.
Finally we touched the edge of the river bank.
Xiao Xixi grabbed a handful of weeds, used the force to move closer to the shore, then climbed on the edge of the river with both hands and pushed upwards with force.
The sound of splashing water.
She jumped out of the water and landed steadily on the river bank.
But the next moment she froze.
She saw a black horse standing quietly not far ahead.
There was a handsome man sitting on the horse.
His eyebrows were as cold as a solitary moon, his face was as solemn as frost, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and he exuded a biting cold aura.
The cold wind blew past, taking away the little body temperature that was left in Xiao Xixi's body. She felt cold from the inside out, and her face turned as pale as paper.
Her mind was filled with only one thought.
It’s over!
She never expected to meet Luo Qinghan here.
How should she explain that she was caught by him while escaping?
If she told him the truth, would he understand?
Before she could figure out how to explain, she heard Luo Qinghan speak coldly.
"Why are you here? Are you trying to escape?"
The icy voice, accompanied by a fierce chill, made Xiao Xixi feel a chill running down her spine.
She resisted the urge to shiver and smiled awkwardly.
"If I said I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to go for a swim, would you believe me?"
Luo Qinghan asked coldly, "Do you think I would believe it?"
Xiao Xixi said dryly: "I don't think they will believe it."
Luo Qinghan urged the horse under him forward.
The sound of horse hooves became clearer and clearer.
The distance between the two people is getting closer.
Xiao Xixi was soaked all over, her wet hair stuck to her face, water was dripping from her clothes, and she was terribly cold.
She raised her hand to wipe the river water off her face and said pitifully.
"I can explain."
She decided to tell him the truth. This matter concerned the safety of her master. She believed that Luo Qinghan should be able to understand it. He was not the unreasonable person.
But the next moment, she heard Luo Qinghan speak coldly.
"You really should explain to me, was my father killed by you?"
Xiao Xixi was stunned.
She seemed a little unresponsive and blinked in confusion.
But then she came to her senses.
The whole person stood still.
Now not only her body was cold, but her heart was also cold.
How did he know about this?
How should she answer this question?
She didn't want to lie to him, but she couldn't say, "I killed your father with my own hands."
She really didn't know what to do.
The brain is in a mess, but the body has already reacted.
She turned and ran, she wanted to leave here temporarily.
She didn't want to face Luo Qinghan until she figured out how to get along with him.
Before Ranhe could run far, Luo Qinghan suddenly pounced on her from behind!
Luo Qinghan pressed her to the ground, stared at her with his red eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Why are you running?!"
…
Good morning everyone!
It’s a new month. Does everyone have monthly tickets again?
Rubbing my hands together, asking for a monthly ticket~~~~
