Shen Lianqing hugged her and said softly, "Sister Lao'ao, don't be angry."
Gao'an blushed and quickly pushed her into the carriage. She also sat on it and stuffed the things she had obtained through her connections and the identity that Liu Qingran had arranged for her before into Shen Lianqing's arms, "Take it well."
From Mr. Liu, who had never lost power, to Mr. Cui, to her, this thing was hard-won.
Shen Lianqing quickly browsed it, made sure there was nothing wrong, folded it two or three times, and stuck it inside her clothes.
Not long after the carriage drove, it was stopped again. There was only one person, wearing black clothes and a fierce mask on his face.
He was holding a big knife in his hand, like a desperado coming out of a bloody storm.
The horseman driving the carriage and the young lady in the carriage were all trembling.
Shen Lianqing patted her hand and said don't worry, and then stood at the car door and prepared to jump out. Lao Ao quickly took her hand and said worriedly, "Don't go."
"It's okay, I know him."
Shen Lianqing opened her carriage and walked to the man. She looked up at the mask and smiled sweetly, "Mr. Cui, you are here."
The tight aura of the man in black suddenly changed. He scratched the clothes on his chest, looked around, and didn't notice someone pulling her behind a big tree. He lifted the corner of his mask and asked, "How did you know it was me? "
Shen Lianqing blinked her eyes, which had changed in makeup, and her lips were red, "Because Qing Niang fell in love with Mr. Cui at first sight, so she is naturally very familiar with Mr. Cui's body..."
Cui Lan covered her mouth and breathed heavily, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Hmm."
She frowned slightly, her eyes turned red, and a few tears rolled down her face.
"There's really nothing I can do about you." Cui Lan raised his hand to wipe away her tears, lowered his head and kissed her in front of her while she was still conscious.
Perhaps there is only one chance to be honest.
He was fascinated and couldn't help but indulge in it, but he knew he couldn't stay with her for too long.
Finally, he swallowed the tears hanging on her eyelashes, patted her face with the finger that played the piano and held the knife, and urged, "Come on, I'll pretend I haven't seen you."
"Mr. Cui." Her eyes filled with tears, and she was quite moved.
Cui Lan sneered and covered her lips with a token, "Don't say anything. Jiangnan is my hometown. Take my token and go to the drug store in Ninth Street and Eighteenth Lane to find a man named Li Mazi." , he will help you arrange everything.”
Walk.
Cui Lan put on the mask, held the knife in his arms and watched the carriage she was riding in go away.
The night was thick, and he looked up at the fallen leaves in the sky. He felt that he was crazy for letting her go.
…
Lao Ao looked at her and couldn't help but ask, "Who is that person who stopped you?"
Shen Lianqing put her finger on her lips and blinked at her, "Sister Aunt, hush."
Gao immediately understood that she was involved with Prince Xia and still wanted to escape like this. How could she dare if she hadn't made sufficient preparations?
She asked no more questions.
They traveled to several places, from night to day, and the last place was to leave by boat.
There are faint reeds on the riverside, the river is green, a person is holding a pole in the distance, and the boat is coming slowly.
Lao Ao stuffed everything into Shen Lianqing's hands. She bit her lip and touched her face, her heart racing. "Why do we have to leave the capital? It might be even more chaotic outside."
Shen Lianqing chuckled, her smile still so charming and pure.
Lao Ao heard her say, "I don't belong in the capital to begin with, no matter how long I stay here."
"Besides, between the sky and the house, which place do you think is more suitable for birds to fly?"
Gao was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that she couldn't see things as clearly as a girl younger than her.
Yes, she was originally sold to Xunfang Pavilion, but now she really has a choice, why should she stay in another "Xunfang Pavilion"?
The backyard seemed no different from the brothel, she just changed the place to serve people.
Laogong patted his head. Really, have I become so narrow-minded after all this time?
She hugged Shen Lianqing and whispered in her ear, "Have a nice trip."
"Thanks."
Shen Lianqing jumped onto the board of the boat and waved to her with ease, "We meet in the mountains and rivers. We are destined to meet again, sister Laogong."
Watch the ship go away.
Gao Gao got on the carriage and went back. It was still dark, and the sky was slightly white and blue-black. In her ears, she could hear Dada's horse hooves and the cold morning wind.
Lao Ao recalled what happened during this period, from the note to being imprisoned to recognizing the reality and seeking death to helping Shen Lianqing do things, everything pushed her forward.
Making mistakes, guilt, redemption, satisfaction, relief...
It felt like a dream for a few months.
As she thought about it, she thought about her past again.
Her piano skills were once praised and sought after by others, but do people outside know that there is such a "master" like her? How false is this title of "everyone"?
The sky is wide and the road ahead is smooth.
Shen Lianqing is gone, will she stay here?
Lying on the window of the carriage, Gao looked at the scenery gradually disappearing in front of her eyes and thought deeply.
Maybe she needs to go out and take a look too.
…
Xia Ziyu was busy in the capital. Many people were staring at him. All forces were intertwined. On the surface, he seemed weak both offensively and defensively.
But in fact, he was very skillful and laid traps, just waiting for his opponents to hold their heads high and think that victory was within reach.
He read the secret letters one after another under the candlelight, and quickly processed them and sent them out.
In the middle of the night, when he was taking a break, his subordinates came to report, "Master, Miss Shen has escaped."
The bowl in Xia Ziyu's hand suddenly hit the table, and the blue and white porcelain instantly broke into several pieces. The soup in the bowl also splashed onto his clothes. He didn't care about arranging his clothes, grabbed his subordinate's collar and asked, "How did she run away?"
How did she know the route, how did she get a guide, and who helped?
The subordinate will believe it. Xia Ziyu took a look at the information on the paper. There was a gloomy look on his gorgeous facial features, and he smiled angrily, "Okay, very good."
He ordered his subordinates, "Prepare your horses and I will chase them myself."
He wanted to see where she could go.
The subordinate who was kneeling on the ground couldn't help but remind him, "But the capital..."
Xia Zi's eyebrows were gloomy, and the corner of her mouth curled into a sneer, "She can't run far, two or three hours is enough."
"yes!"
…
All the checkpoints south of the capital were prepared. As soon as Shen Lianqing got on the boat, news came from behind that someone was going to be investigated.
The sky was bright, and a full sun slowly rose over the far river. She used makeup to change her appearance, and her skin and clothes looked a lot rougher.
The face is not even the face she had in the capital.
This small ferry is very remote and secluded. In the past, there were no ships at all.
Now this boat is driven by an acquaintance of an acquaintance, and even if the officers and soldiers want to ban it, it will not be stopped.
Next to the ferry, the sound of horse hooves came.
Shen Lianqing looked up and saw a red streak on the horse's back. It was vaguely familiar. Her heart skipped a beat, but she felt relieved in the blink of an eye.
There were no other ships and they couldn't catch up.
Immediately, Xia Zi's eyebrows were condensed, and his dark eyelashes were sharply hooked. He stretched out his hand and said to the subordinate beside him, "Bring me my prince's bow and arrows."
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy bow appeared in his hand, and he pointed the arrow at the ship.
Everyone in the capital only knew that he was a wild and wild man, but no one knew that his archery skills could penetrate the Yangtze River with a hundred steps.
Aiming at the ship in the distance, Xia Ziyu narrowed his eyes.
Shen, Lian, Qing!
