Chapter 702 - 702: Back to the capital (2)
Xu Qi ‘an placed a silver ingot on the table.
He was so straightforward … Wangfei bit her lip and put on a straight face. She put away the silver and then silently packed up the dirty clothes. She carried the small bag on her shoulder and announced, ‘
“I’m leaving.”
“Go!” Xu Qi ‘an nodded.
Wangfei looked at him deeply before turning around and running out of the room.
After running out of the inn, she walked out of the city alone, passing through the bustling crowd, the busy city and long streets. The city was not big, and she soon reached the city gate.
However, looking at the wide city gate, the princess Consort suddenly became timid. It did not seem to be the path to freedom. The outside world was so dangerous, and the human heart was so complicated.
When she was 13 years old, she was sent to the palace by her family in exchange for a high position and a high salary.
She had lived in the layers of the palace for many years. Later, Emperor Yuan jing had given her to the North -guarding King and she had lived in the king’s mansion for twenty years.
She yearned for freedom, for freedom, but when freedom was within her grasp, she suddenly realized that she could not survive outside.
She was like a Canary in a cage. More than 20 years of luxury had made her lose the ability to fly freely in the sky.
Although she could return to her ” Maiden Home, ” she would only be sold by her parents again. No, there was a high probability that she would be sent back to the palace by her clansmen the next day as soon as she returned to the residence.
She stood rooted to the ground in a daze. After a long time, she was no longer dazed, but the light in her eyes was extinguished.
Wangfei lowered her head and looked at her toes. Her shoulders were thin, and her back view was thin. She looked like a homeless little girl.
At this moment, a man’s sigh came from behind her. “Xiao Yan, I’ve thought about it and I think I should still take you with me.”
‘l’ne princess consort did not turn around m a nt or pique.
Xu Qi ‘an walked in front of her and squatted down, not saying a word.
Wangfei glared at his back. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She opened her arms and fell on his back.
Out of the city, Xu Qi ‘an carried her and ran along the official road. At this time, he missed his beloved little mare.
“I’m a very troublesome person.” Wangfei whispered in his ear.
Xu Qi ‘an frowned as he felt her warm breath on his earlobe. The earlobe was Xu bailing’s sensitive area, and only Fu Xiang knew this secret.
You really know your own limits … “Does Emperor Yuan jing know that you’re like this?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
Wangfei shook her head. but he knows that I have a magical artifact that can change my appearance. I’ve sneaked away several times. He must know. But you’ve never seen me like this.”
“The guards of the Wang Residence have seen me like this,” she added after some thought.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t answer and started to think.
Although North vanquishing Prince was dead, the princess Consort was still highly sought after. Emperor Yuan jing would definitely not turn a blind eye to her, even though the entire diplomatic mission agreed that the princess Consort had been taken away by the barbarians.
However, those maids knew that I had found them in the end. Of course, they didn’t know that I had defeated the Barbarian experts and saved the princess. However, the fact that they were able to survive and return to the capital without a hitch was in itself a suspicious point.
Although it can’t be used as evidence to prove that I saved the Princess Consort, as long as there is a suspicious point, Emperor Yuan jing will definitely send someone to investigate. There is no need to monitor, and the investigation will be done openly.
That’s why wangfei can’t return with me. But they could be kept outside.
There are three million people in the capital. It’s impossible to search every house. Also, there are no clues that I brought the princess back to the capital.
The best way was to keep her outside, not far from the Xu Manor, but not too close either.
After considering the details, Xu Qi ‘an nodded in satisfaction. He felt that it was very safe.
Then, he couldn’t help but be at a loss. Why did I have to do this for an old Auntie?
When did I get poisoned by her?
Xu Qi ‘an did not head in the direction of Chuzhou City. He planned to meet up with Zheng xinghuai first and bring him to Chuzhou City.
Now that the Chu Prefecture city was destroyed, he was the chief administrator of the Chu Prefecture. He had to clean up the mess and tell him that the North vanquishing Prince had fallen. There was no need to hide anymore.
On the way, he deliberately asked the Golden Lotus Taoist to block the members of the heaven and earth Association and opened a private chat with li Miaozhen to ask her where she was.
Unsurprisingly, he was scolded by the Holy Virgin of the heavenly sect and then told of the death of the North vanquishing Prince.
Xu Qi ‘an was “shocked” and exclaimed that it was impossible. He had fully displayed the qualities of a ‘shock party’.
This made li Miaozhen slightly proud and no longer angry that he stood her up.
After that, Xu Qi ‘an told her to find ” Xu yinluo, ” who was on her way here, ” so that she could leave the Chu Prefecture city and meet up with her in the valley.
At noon, Xu Qi ‘an finally arrived at the valley with the princess Consort. On the day he bid farewell to Zheng xinghuai, he found an Inn in the nearby County to settle the princess Consort. The two places were not far from each other.
In the cave, a bonfire was burning. Li Han and Zhao Jin were roasting pheasants, rabbits, fish, and other prey.
The tall and thin Shentu Baili closed his eyes and sat cross-legged as he breathed.
The fat and strong Wei Youlong wiped his machete and said in a deep voice, ”
“I don’t know how Xu yinluo and the swordswoman in the swallow are doing. Que Yongxiu and the North-guarding King are brutal and vicious. If they find out anything, they’ll probably be killed. And if something happens to them, then it’s very likely that we’ll be tracked down.”
Tang youshen, a Spearman with military background, swept his sharp gaze at the entrance of the cave. He then retracted his gaze and closed his eyes to rest while holding his spear.
Zheng xinghuai waved his hand. His voice was soft, but his tone was firm.”No, even if the two of them didn’t find anything, they wouldn’t have caught the attention of the North-guarding King and que Yongxiu..”
