When in the palace, Li Jing never let His Majesty see his appearance. Even when they had to meet, he would always lower his head.
But Anshun, who was standing next to His Majesty, recognized him, but it seemed that Anshun did not notice him just now.
If Your Majesty suddenly realizes something and starts investigating them, it will be too late.
He can't be with Qianqian now. If His Majesty becomes suspicious, he will be the first one to be investigated.
Zhongli and Qianqian can only go first.
"Qianqian, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Zhongli Mingchuan frowned and asked anxiously.
"Zhongli, this matter is complicated. I will explain it to you later. Just do as I say first."
Li Jing speaks very fast.
"good."
Although Zhongli Mingchuan was full of doubts, he still agreed.
After saying that, Zhongli quickly grabbed Ning Qian's waist and flew out of the third-floor window.
He was agile and swift, like a gust of wind, and he flew over the eaves and walls, speeding across the roofs.
Li Jing was extremely confused at the moment. He didn't know if he was being monitored by His Majesty, so he could only wander around the city aimlessly.
He kept looking around until it was almost dark and the city gate was about to close, then he hurried out of Jiangzhou.
By the time Li Jing arrived at the Peach Blossom Pavilion outside the city, night had already fallen quietly.
Zhongli Mingchuan and Ning Qian had been waiting in the carriage.
After Li Jing got on the carriage, he asked with a tense face, "Zhongli, you are a martial arts expert, have you noticed that you are being followed?"
Although Zhongli Mingchuan didn't know the reason, he still answered seriously: "Probably not, are you being followed?"
Li Jing nodded heavily.
"As soon as I left Qingfengzui, I found that I was being followed, so I wandered around the city for a long time, and finally went to a fabric store I run in Jiangzhou. I was able to get rid of the person who was following me with the help of the store owner."
Ning Qian looked solemn, with his brows furrowed.
Since Li Jing was being followed, they might have been suspected.
"Brother Li Jing, Qian Qian, what important person did you offend?"
Zhongli Mingchuan's face was full of worry, and his brows were twisted into a knot.
"Yes, a big shot from the capital, Zhongli, Qianqian and I need to leave Jiangzhou quickly. In order not to drag you down, Zhongli, we will part ways now."
As Li Jing spoke, a trace of guilt and determination appeared on his face, and there was helplessness in his eyes.
Ning Qian also nodded.
As an emperor, Jun Zechen has a strong desire for control and it is impossible for him to accept being deceived. In addition, Ning Qian also knows that Jun Zechen has been fighting outside for three years and is probably even more cold and ruthless now.
"Brother Zhongli, I agree with my brother's idea. We are separated now! I am glad to have been with you all the way, and I am very grateful for your help today."
Ning Qian clasped his fists towards Zhongli Mingchuan.
"What do you think of me? I've been with you for five years. I'm like a family member to you. How can I leave alone when my family is in trouble?"
"And don't worry too much. Our response today was quite quick. Your enemies may not have found us. We just need to leave Jiangzhou as soon as possible."
He looked determined.
Li Jing wanted to persuade him again, but Zhongli Mingchuan waved his hand to stop him.
"Brother Li Jing, don't say anything more, let's get on the road quickly." His eyes were firm and unquestionable.
Li Jing and Ning Qian looked at each other, knowing that it was useless to persuade them at this moment, so they said no more.
It's getting late now, so we can only wait until we reach the next city to persuade Zhongli.
Then, Li Jing said to the groom: "Let's go!"
The coachman received the order, raised his whip and drove the carriage forward.
They didn't even take the flat official road, but chose to take a slightly rugged path through a forest.
The three of them sat in the carriage, and the atmosphere was depressing.
Ning Qian's eyes were full of worry, and there was always an ominous premonition lingering in her heart.
Zhongli looked at the brother and sister who had always been free and easy, and now they were still frowning because of the man they met today. He couldn't help but make all kinds of guesses in his mind.
Brother Li Jing and Qian Qian have both been to the capital. The man they met today looked very young. They have never heard of such a young senior official in the court.
Could it be a royal relative?
Zhongli frowned slightly, and glanced at Li Jing and Ning Qian from time to time, trying to find a clue from their expressions.
The three people had different thoughts, when suddenly, the carriage stopped without any warning.
