When in the palace, Li Jing never let His Majesty see his appearance. Even when they had to meet, he would lower his head.
But Anshun, who was standing next to His Majesty, knew him, but it seemed that Anshun did not notice him just now.
If His 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 spoke very fast.
"good."
Although Zhongli Mingchuan was full of doubts, he still agreed.
After saying that, Zhongli quickly hugged Ning Qian's waist and flew out of the third-floor window.
He was agile and swift, like a gust of wind, and then he climbed over the eaves and walls and rushed across the roof.
Li Jing was extremely confused at the moment. He didn't know whether 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 were waiting in the carriage.
After Li Jing boarded the carriage, his face tense as he asked seriously, "Zhongli, you are a skilled martial artist, but 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 realized 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, did you offend some important person?"
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 should part ways now."
As Li Jing spoke, a hint 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 would never 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. Let's part ways now! I'm grateful for your company along the way, and I'm 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 family, not just family. 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 had a resolute expression.
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 hurry up and get on the road." 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 unrestrained, and now they were still frowning because of the man they met today, and he couldn't help but speculate in his mind.
Brother Li Jing and Qian Qian have both been to the capital. The man they met today looked very young. They had never heard of such a young high-ranking 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 warning.
