Underneath the calm, undercurrents arose.
The seemingly bustling streets are filled with traffic, but in fact there are dangers hidden everywhere.
The area around Yiyuan Pavilion has long been surrounded by spies. In addition to Huangji Guards and spies from the capital, there are also many spies planted by the Xie family.
Those who carry water, deliver goods, and do business are all there one after another, and it is impossible to guard against them.
It is not easy for Zhu Xuxing to go to Huainan in full view of the public. Therefore, he needs a "substitute".
There are many talented people in the four divisions under Wei Li's sect. Among them, Chu Yun, the leader of the Ghost Division, is a master of disguise.
They selected a person from the Huangji Guards who was exactly the same height and figure as Zhu Xiuxing. After shaving and changing clothes, he was 50% or 60% similar.
In order to delay the discovery, Zhu Xuxing decided to leave Yue Yichuan in Huaizhou and only let Wei Li accompany him.
Yue Yichuan was nervous for a moment: "Your Highness, please think twice before you act. You will never leave your Highness for an inch in your humble position."
Zhu Xuxing said frankly: "It is precisely because everyone knows that you are my shadow that I leave you here."
Wei Li also echoed coldly: "Brother Yue won't doubt that I don't have the ability to protect the crown prince."
When Yue Yichuan heard this, he looked at him and frowned when he saw that he looked like he was looking for a good show.
"Where is Huainan? How many troops do you have?"
"Huangji Fourth Division, how many do you think there are? Even if we tie Huainan, it's not a bad idea." Wei Li said with a nonchalant joking expression: "Everyone knows that you are His Highness's shadow. It is best for His Highness that you stay here. cover."
Zhu Xuxing's mind was made up and the plan began.
Xie Junhao is best at pretending, greeting him respectfully every day, and the best reason to deal with him is to pretend to be sick and disappear.
Since he is sick, it is natural to ask a doctor.
Famous doctors from Huaizhou City came one after another. They were frightened and frightened through a thin gauze curtain, so naturally it was difficult to see the true appearance of the prince.
Pulse conditions can also be faked.
They were busy and exhausted, but no one diagnosed the exact symptoms.
However, these people coming in and out are opportunities.
Zhu Xuxing dressed up as a doctor, wearing a plain gown and carrying a half-worn medicine box on his back. Under the cover of the moonlight, he took Xu Zhihuai, who was dressed as a handsome young man, and left in a carriage in an honorable manner.
They went straight out of the city gate without anyone stopping them. It must have been Wei Li who had taken care of everything.
The manpower outside the city was even more careful, changing cars, horses, and people in one go. After several twists and turns, it was difficult for anyone to discover their whereabouts.
Sometimes, Xu Zhihuai had to admire Wei Li's methods.
He is pervasive.
Whether in the capital or Huaizhou, everyone has the ability to cover up the sky with one hand.
On the empty official road, the sound of horse hoof wheels was heard.
Xu Zhihuai leaned quietly in Zhu Suxing's arms, listening to the ups and downs of his chest and the thumping of his heartbeat.
Zhu Xuxing was very excited, and a little bit excited.
After leaving the palace, leaving the capital, leaving Huaizhou... he changed clothes one after another, and he also shed layer after layer of restraints.
Xu Zhihuai looked up at him and saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, almost like a smile but not a smile, and there was no hint of deep worry.
"Your Highness?"
Xu Zhihuai called him gently, causing him to say "hmm".
He lowered his head, his phoenix eyes shining brightly.
She was puzzled and raised her head to look closer to his face.
It's really bright, shining like stars.
Xu Zhihuai couldn't help but murmured: "His Highness has stars in his eyes."
Zhu Xuxing lowered his eyes and met her dark pupils: "I have you in my eyes."
Xu Zhihuai smiled, but still puzzled: "Why is Your Highness so happy?"
Zhu Xuxing thought thoughtfully: "I don't know, maybe it's because I became a charlatan."
Xu Zhihuai was amused by him again: "It's a fake doctor."
"The doctor is fake, and so is the young man."
As he spoke, he stroked the scattered hair on the back of her neck with his fingers, admiring her soft body: "I like the way you tie your hair."
She was originally gorgeous and delicate, but now she is even more spiritual, like the morning dew.
Xu Zhihuai was slightly surprised: "Your Highness, you like me pretending to be a man?"
"Good-looking people are good-looking no matter what."
Xu Zhihuai blushed slightly.
Suddenly, someone outside the carriage curtain spoke inappropriately: "Master, we are about to reach the border of Huainan."
It was Wei Li's voice.
He kept riding his horse to accompany them, and naturally listened to all the sweet words of the two people.
The moment the curtain opened, he saw Xu Zhihuai's blushing face first. She looked over with a pair of charming eyes. The moment she met his eyes again, she immediately avoided her sight and hid timidly behind Zhu Suxing. Quiet and docile.
Wei Li withdrew his gaze, with a sinister look on his face, looking at the dark official road in front of him, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, I will go ahead to explore the road."
He was alone and rushing towards the bottomless darkness.
In less than a cup of tea, he was back.
"Master, there must be an ambush ahead, and spies have come to report that the city gates of Huainan have been sealed."
Zhu Xuxing was extremely surprised: "They sealed the city gate?"
Wei Li said in a deep voice: "Master, Huainan City is in chaos. It's not surprising what happened."
Zhu Xuxing shook his head in doubt: "The leader of Huainan, Jiang Wendong, is loyal to the court. He will not betray the court and support his troops with self-respect."
Wei Li smiled coldly: "Master, you can tell whether he is loyal or not at a glance. Counting the time, we can reach the city gate before dawn."
This brief conversation made Xu Zhihuai frightened.
If Huainan is sealed off, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth like this?
Did Wei Li really want to kill the prince?
Zhu Xuxing never doubted Wei Li and even ordered the carriage and horse to go faster.
Xu Zhihuai snuggled quietly next to Zhu Suxing, feeling uneasy.
After a moment, he spoke first.
"Why are your hands so cold?"
Zhu Xuxing took her soft and warm little hand, caressed it and played with it.
Xu Zhihuai took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Highness, I'm fine."
"Afraid?"
Xu Zhihuai pursed his lips and smiled, but just shook his head.
"With His Highness here, I am not afraid of anything."
In front of Zhu Xiuxing, she was absolutely docile and completely soft.
As expected, he took advantage of her. He held her hand and said many sweet words.
At dawn, in order to wake up, Xu Zhihuai raised the car curtain and looked out, and happened to catch a glimpse of a messy teahouse on the roadside. Apparently someone had done business here.
Her eyes were slightly focused, thoughtful, but she didn't know that she had also fallen into the eyes of others. By the time he noticed it, his eyes had already been firmly locked on her.
Xu Zhihuai turned his head subconsciously and saw Wei Li looking at him gloomily, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.
His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if he was trying to carve out a piece of flesh on her body.
The bright sun broke through the clouds, and the pale golden morning light was so bright and beautiful, but when it fell on him, it was also dyed a bit darker.
Xu Zhihuai thought silently and smiled faintly.
What is he looking at, she
Finally, she smiled at him, her eyes shining.
Wei Li looked directly at her beautiful and harmless smile, his originally sharp gaze as sharp as an awl seemed to waver, then he hurriedly looked away and rode forward.
