He leaned against the carriage, his eyes sharp and cold, staring at the bright moon in the sky, full of cold light.
Changfang followed behind, not daring to mount the horse.
"Little brother, thank you for saving my prince." Lin Feng expressed his sincere gratitude to Chang Fang.
But Chang Fang timidly lowered his head: "I don't deserve it. This is not just my credit, it's also Sister Yun's."
"Changfang." Mulansheng's voice came from the carriage.
Lin Feng made way.
Chang Fang immediately and cautiously stepped forward. Seeing the carriage curtain unfold and the two iron-blooded eagle guards standing on either side, he knelt down in fear and said, "Your Highness! I didn't know your identity before, and I was so reckless."
"You don't have to be like this with me. Come up!" Mulansheng said in a much softer voice.
Chang Fang didn't dare: "I am a humble commoner..."
"I told you to come up." Mulansheng's voice was full of pressure.
Changfang was so scared that he immediately got into the carriage carefully, but sat aside and didn't dare to speak.
Mulansheng sighed softly: "You don't have to be so polite to me in the future."
But Chang Fang suddenly knelt in the carriage. With red eyes, he looked at Mu Lansheng and said, "Your Majesty, can you make the decision for Master?"
Since Mulansheng's status is so noble.
That would certainly avenge my dead master.
I didn’t have the ability before, but it’s different now.
Mu Lansheng looked at his gently trembling shoulders, his eyes slightly deep: "Don't worry, whether it's your master's revenge or everything we've suffered today, I will make them pay... a hundredfold."
Oil lamps were lit outside the carriage, and the group started on their way again.
Lin Feng took the lead and originally wanted Luo Yan to lead Mulan Sheng away while he went to meet Ye Feng alone.
But Mu Lansheng refused: "You guys catch up with Ye Feng and save Yun Miao. I want to see her safe and sound."
Yun Miao, it’s Yun Miao again.
Luo Yan had heard this name countless times from Mulansheng's mouth, and her expression looked a little ugly.
Wasn't it just a stroke of luck that saved the prince's life? Wouldn't it be enough to reward her with some silver? She was just a lowly commoner, why would the prince be so concerned about her? Perhaps she was just another vain woman with ulterior motives.
Yun Miao ran under the cover of night. She was dragging a heavy cart, but she couldn't run fast.
After a while, they were discovered by Pei Lu and his group.
"Hurry! It's right in front." The confidant also saw Yun Miao's figure. After all, it was impossible to hide while dragging a cart.
Yun Miao ran madly without even looking back.
If we can create some distance, then it is some distance.
Soon, Pei Lu's horse came in front of her, blocking her way.
Torches illuminated the area, surrounding her in three layers.
"You...what are you going to do?" Yun Miao looked at the leader Pei Lu in panic and immediately said, "I don't have any money on me, don't rob me."
Pei Lu stared gloomily at Yun Miao who was pulling the cart. The woman was not very old, and there were still some marks on her face from the burns that had not yet healed. She was wearing a farmer's dress that was loose and ill-fitting.
"You just saw us, why did you run away?" Pei Lu asked coldly.
He was quite oppressive. Although he was dressed in ordinary plain clothes, Yun Miao noticed a token hanging from the broadsword at his waist. These were definitely not bandits. Just as Mulansheng had said, they were subordinates of the so-called King of the Northern Territory, officials.
Yun Miao's voice trembled. "I'm alone at night, so I'm naturally afraid. What's more, there are so many of you, and you look so aggressive. I'm afraid you're bandits, so I'm thinking of finding a place to hide quickly."
"Hmph, is that so?" Pei Lu's eyes fell on the cart behind her.
The confidant understood what was going on and dismounted, directly pulling away the mat covering the horse.
Who knew that there was no one under the cart.
Yes, if there was someone there, could this woman run so fast?
"Where are the people in your cart?" Pei Lu asked with a grim expression.
Yun Miao looked apprehensive. "Are you talking about my father? He's already been laid to rest."
As he spoke, he began to cry, wiping his tears.
Then Pei Lu looked down at her acting and asked, "Do you know Mingdong Village?"
"I don't know." Yun Miao immediately shook her head.
Pei Lu suddenly dismounted and smiled sinisterly, "The old couple said that the young man with the crippled leg was accompanied by a young girl, and that this girl had a burn on the corner of her eye."
Yun Miao lowered her head, and her pupils flickered twice.
The unhealed burn became a mark that she could not escape.
"I... don't know what you two are talking about. I sold myself in the city during the day to bury my father. I had just buried my father and was about to leave when I ran into you." Yun Miao would definitely not admit it.
Unexpectedly, Pei Lu stepped forward, grabbed her jaw and forced her to raise her head.
Looking at the burn marks on her face, he laughed coldly: "Do you know how the last person who lied to me died?"
The last person who lied...
Yun Miao remembered Chang Fang's words that his master had been killed.
"Yes, you know this man too. He's the stubborn old doctor who saved you." Pei Lu looked into Yun Miao's eyes. Who knew her eyes were still very calm? She even showed a puzzled expression after hearing this: "I don't understand what you mean, sir. There are so many people in this world with burns on the corners of their eyes. This burn was caused by me being careless while boiling medicine while taking care of my bedridden father. I know this coincidence makes you suspicious. If you don't believe me, I can take you to my father's grave to have a look."
Her hands clenched tightly beneath her long sleeves, her long fingers digging into her palms.
It turned out that this guy was the one who killed Changfang's master.
But Yun Miao knew that she couldn't reveal any flaws, and only by staying calm could she find a solution.
Looking at the calm Yun Miao, she is not very old and it is impossible for her to have such a strong mental quality.
For the first time, Pei Lu began to doubt his own confidence. He then let go of her and said, "In that case, take us to see it."
He just observed Yun Miao's body and found that it was indeed covered with a lot of dirt.
Yun Miao nodded, then put down the cart, turned around and walked into the woods next to her.
Pei Lu and others were not afraid that she would escape under their noses, so they just followed her.
Yun Miao's eyes were dark and deep, but on the surface she was looking around for the so-called grave.
There is no grave. Everything is just an excuse to delay time and find a chance to escape.
"Hurry up! Don't you know where your old father is buried?" The confidant urged impatiently from behind.
Yun Miao trembled with fear. "It was too dark just now, and the route back has changed. Of course, it's not that easy to find. Don't scare me, or my mind will go blank and I won't be able to remember anything."
She seemed really scared and her legs were shaking.
Pei Lu glanced at his confidant, who immediately shut up.
Yes, how capable can a girl of fifteen or sixteen be?
