The dark streets were deserted, but there was a rare bustle near the city gate. Dozens of people were surrounding the city gate, all looking at the soldiers among them.
"Are you sure you are leaving the city gate at this time? Didn't you see that the whole city is searching? Are you not afraid that the person you are looking for will get out among you?"
The soldier guarding the city gate asked, with an impatient look on his face. He was about to close the city gate, but suddenly so many people came out of the city gate. Wasn't this wasting his time in vain?
Several people in the group exchanged glances, and an old man among them said: "We don't know whether that person will be among them, but there is a real emergency in our family, and we must go back as soon as possible. Sir, please be accommodating." Well, please accept my little thought."
The old man came forward and stuffed a few taels of silver in his sleeve.
The soldier touched it, and even though he was satisfied, he still had a troubled look on his face.
"I can understand that you have something going on at home, but if that person really hides among you, wouldn't I have to bear the responsibility?"
"Don't worry, sir. This place is so close to the camp. No matter how brave your searchers are, they won't dare to come here."
The soldier didn't speak. Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't say a word.
Seeing this, the old man knew better. He took out a few taels of silver from his arms and handed it over.
"Look, can you be accommodating now?"
"Go over there."
The group of people passed through the city gate and soon dispersed a few miles outside the city gate.
At this time, a stooped woman raised her head, looked around a few times, and then walked towards the old man who had been talking at the city gate.
"Near miss."
There was a sense of relief on the old man's face, and his voice was no longer as old as before.
The woman nodded: "It's indeed a near miss. Let's go. We have to find a place to stay before it gets completely dark."
The old man clapped his hands and several people came over. He said: "Ten miles to the east, there is a village. My subordinates have sent people there."
This group of people were none other than Song Shuwan and Shan Hai who had disguised themselves. At this time, they confirmed the situation and the group did not delay any longer, but moved away from Anyuan City as quickly as possible.
The night passed quietly.
At dawn the next day, as soon as Song Shuwan opened her eyes, she heard a noise outside the house. When she listened carefully, she found that the voice of one of them was very familiar.
Sixth prince!
Song Shuwan stood up instantly, astonishment flashed in her eyes, why was the sixth prince here?
She thought about it, put on her robe and ran out. She caught sight of the Sixth Prince who was arguing with Shan Hai.
Song Shuwan paused slightly, then coughed twice and walked forward: "Why is Your Highness here?"
The sixth prince was speaking with anger. He immediately turned his head when he heard the question: "Miss Song, when did your men become so unreasonable? I just want to see you, not kill you. He has to stop me here. I can't move even an inch." Walk."
Song Shuwan glanced at Shanhai, and saw that the latter was staring at the Sixth Prince with a frown on his face, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Your Highness the Sixth Prince misunderstood. He was just a little too worried and acted cautiously. Your Highness the Sixth Prince, don't take it to heart. Just follow me into the house."
After a while, the two sat down in the room, and Song Shuwan didn't delay and jumped into the topic neatly.
"I wonder how the Sixth Highness found this place? What is the purpose of coming here?"
The Sixth Prince clicked on the table: "I'm not afraid of Miss Song misunderstanding. The reason why I found this place is because my people have been following Miss Song. As for why I came here, I want to take Miss Song back to the capital."
Song Shuwan's eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't understand why His Highness the Sixth Prince is always obsessed with bringing me back to the capital?"
"This is not attachment."
The Sixth Prince spoke very seriously, "This is repaying your kindness. Miss Song healed my leg. I will ensure Miss Song's safety, both emotionally and rationally."
Song Shuwan frowned and said, "Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, has never thought that I don't need your guarantee?"
The Sixth Prince was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a wry smile: "I have thought about it, but I think I need to come here to make sure that I have no regrets."
Song Shuwan smiled and remained silent.
Seeing this, the Sixth Prince stopped talking and left soon after.
As soon as he left, Song Shuwan's face darkened.
"There's someone following me, why didn't you notice?"
Shan Hai lowered his head: "I really didn't notice it before. It was my subordinate's negligence. When this matter is over, I will definitely put things in order."
Song Shuwan closed her eyes, rectification was inevitable, but that was not the focus now.
Putting her thoughts away, Song Shuwan opened her eyes: "Take care of yourself, let's leave here immediately."
Shanhai knew his concerns and immediately went to summon his men.
Half an hour later, the group left the village and walked north as quickly as possible. However, halfway through, they had to turn around and head west.
"It's confirmed, it's the news from Prince Pei, but Miss, are you sure you want to go west? I'm afraid Prince Pei's side is no safer than here."
Song Shuwan looked solemn: "I know, but we have to go, unless we are going back to the capital now, but Shanhai, you know I will not return to the capital now."
If she had wanted to, she would not have rejected the Sixth Prince before.
Shan Hai was silent for a long time and sighed: "Miss, it will be very dangerous for you to go there."
"I know it in my heart. If you can't protect me, just leave. I'm safer than you."
This is not what Song Shuwan said randomly, but the fact. As long as Lin Yujun is still here, Beidi will not touch her.
The group of people headed west, and near dusk, they saw Pei Huan outside a valley.
"How are you these days, Your Majesty?"
"Fortunately, it was you. Chengpo was in such a hurry that day that he couldn't take care of you. You..."
Pei Huan paused mid-sentence, and Song Shuwan smiled knowingly.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to think too much. I know very well what the situation was like that day. I won't take it to heart. On the contrary, Your Majesty, I'm afraid I've encountered a lot of problems these days, right?"
The two walked as they talked, and soon entered the house.
Only then did Song Shuwan realize that the valley was well-equipped with everything from houses to useful things, which surprised her very much.
"The things in this valley were specially prepared by the Crown Prince?"
Song Shuwan didn't want to think too much, but the current situation forced her to have some speculations about whether Pei Huan had already made plans to withdraw from Anyuan City.
Pei Huan looked around and his eyes fell on Song Shuwan. He could see the suspicion in Song Shuwan's mind almost at a glance.
"If you are thinking about Anyuan City, then I can tell you that you are right."
Song Shuwan's expression changed: "Do the soldiers of Lin Yujun know the prince's arrangements?"
Pei Huan asked, "Is there any difference between knowing and not knowing?"
