Chapter 415: Escape from the Abandoned Garden

Everyone poured the last bucket of fire oil on the boat, first let the boatman escape on a sheepskin air raft, and then lit the fire.

When the fire became too big to control, Lan Qiao, Lan Feng, Ben Yali, Hua Yuxi and the Zhong brothers took the bodies of Jing Baniang, Bai Luqiu and Dim Sum, and the group abandoned the boat and jumped onto the north bank of the Qinhuai River, heading towards the dark

Escape into the alley.

Lan Qiao said while running: "This strategy can only temporarily get rid of them. We have many people and a big target. If we can't take advantage of this time to hide in a safe place, we will find them sooner or later."

"I have a way." Hua Yuxi's eyes flashed coldly, "Follow me."

She was as familiar with the streets and alleys in the capital as her own backyard. Even in the middle of the night when the sky was dark and her vision was limited, she still ran through the streets and alleys at full speed, turning left and right from time to time through various shortcuts, and finally finally

Arriving at a deserted and abandoned neighborhood in the northwest of the city.

This neighborhood is full of abandoned houses, broken walls, dry wells and weeds. There are more roads to choose from, and there are more small gates and paths that can be passed through. After changing directions seven times in a row, Hua Yuxi found herself in an abandoned garden.

Stop.

The Zhong brothers were out of breath after carrying Bai Luqiu and Dim Sum's bodies respectively. Jing Baniang didn't know Qinggong, so it was difficult for her to keep up. In the end, Lan Qiao simply carried her on his back.

"What place is this?" Lan Qiao put Jing Baniang down and asked, "Is it safe?"

Bai Luqiu had obviously done some research on various places in the capital. He looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Is this the former Korean government palace?"

Hua Yuxi glanced at her with satisfaction and sighed: "Korean Gong was the founding hero of our dynasty, and the Korean Gongfu in the past was so glorious and generous. It's a pity that with an imperial edict, not only the Korean Gongmanmen were killed, but also the surrounding people.

The neighborhood also became deserted.”

Lan Feng walked around the abandoned garden to check, and pulled out a nearly rotten and broken plaque from under the ruins, with the four characters "Korean Government" written on it. He walked up to Bai Luqiu with some curiosity, blinked and asked:

"This girl looks young, but she seems to know everything. Was Sister Hua as smart as you when she was young?"

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Hua Yuxi rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Who was young? Am I very old?"

Zhong Li smiled boldly and said: "Second Young Master Lan doesn't know that our sister Ah Qiu is called 'Little Flower Yuxi' in the building."

"It's a pity that such a lovely girl wasn't ranked on the allure list." Lan Feng looked at Bai Luqiu for a long time and said with great regret, "Can I ask the girl for her name?"

When he asked this question, Bai Luqiu immediately became shy. She turned her head away and did not dare to look directly into Lan Feng's eyes. After a long time, she said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito: "Bai Luqiu."

Hua Yuxi smiled slyly and said, "What? The second young master is interested in this girl from the slave family again?" She deliberately emphasized the word "again", and her tone was full of teasing meaning of "men fall in love with each other when they see her".

Lan Feng's old face turned red, and Ben Yali said unhappily: "How long has it been, and you still have the time to talk about this? Where should we go next?"

Hua Yuxi walked to a well at the back of the garden and said, "There are several underground waterways in the capital that lead to this place. From here, we can go directly to the dock outside the city."

Lan Feng said doubtfully: "But wells and sewers are extremely dangerous. You know kung fu and you are not afraid. What should we do?"

Hua Yuxi picked up a piece of gravel and threw it from the mouth of the well. Listening to the echo of the gravel falling into the water, she calmly smiled and said: "The water in the well is only chest deep, so there is no danger of holding your breath."

After saying that, she jumped into the well first, and sure enough, her neck and shoulders were exposed above the water.

Lan Qiao also jumped into the well and saw a hole in the well wall that could only allow one person to pass through. He smiled and said: "Please come in."

Hua Yuxi saw that the ends of her hair were immersed in the water. As she moved towards the entrance of the cave, she reached into her clothes and pulled out half of her moon-white bellyband with a "stab" sound. She tore the bellyband into strips of cloth without caring.

, and then tied up her loose hair.

Her movements were natural and coherent. She was not shy like a girl showing her underwear to a strange man. Instead, she was a bit more charming. Lan Qiao was dumbfounded, but he also appreciated Hua Yuxi's coquettishness and ease.

After everyone got down from the well, a group of people lined up in a long queue to get into the water channel. After walking in the water channel for more than an hour, a downward slope appeared in the water channel.

"Not far ahead is the river, and the exit is at the bottom of the river." Hua Yuxi explained, "It takes a short dive here, and a normal person can cross it by counting a hundred silently in his mind. Mr. Lan, let's go first, Banniang

Wait with Aqiu and I will take you there myself."

As she said this, she almost squeezed Lan Qiao's body and passed him through the narrow passage. Lan Qiao felt strange in his heart, and then he secretly cursed himself for being distracted and hurriedly dove into the water.

When he emerged from the river and looked at the bright moonlight in the night sky, he couldn't help but feel as if he was in another world.

The docks in the capital are extremely bustling. Even late at night, there are still hundreds of large and small ships docked, and there is a constant flow of busy porters carrying goods up and down.

Hua Yuxi led everyone to an inconspicuous medium-sized cargo ship and whispered: "This is an escape route prepared for me by the hall master when I came to the capital. The ship owner's name is An Sheng, and he is following the hall.

The Lord's confidant for many years is lurking here for my sake. I originally wanted to return to Chushui City with the Hall Master, but unfortunately the Hall Master..." She suddenly choked up when she said this, and she lost control of her emotions and wanted to cry, but then

She covered her mouth tightly with her hands as if she was afraid of disturbing others, and only silent tears streaked down her cheeks.

Everyone was infected by Hua Yuxi's sadness and looked at her quietly. After a while, she regained her composure, took a deep breath and said: "Compared to Liu Yueyao, I value feelings too much. She compares

I am more ruthless and unscrupulous. If you meet her again in the future, please do not underestimate her just because she was below me in the past. Come on board."

Hua Yuxi was the first to board the boat. She treated Bai Luqiu's injuries first, and then told the boat owner An Sheng: "As soon as I get off the boat, you will set off immediately and send them back to Chushui City. How can we pretend that we have been together a few years ago?

Be prepared and don’t worry.”

"Miss, won't you come with us?" Zhong Yan asked after hearing this.

"I still have things to do later." Hua Yuxi glanced at Lan Qiao and said, "Liu Yueyao killed the hall master, we can't just let it go."

Jing Baniang said worriedly: "But you are alone..."

"Don't worry, Banniang, I will do my best. Dim sum's body will rot before it returns to Chushui City. After the ship passes Jiujiang, we should find a place to bury it." Hua Yuxi said with a pretentious smile,

"Aqiu's injury is very serious. Fortunately, it has been stabilized after treatment. After returning home, she can rest peacefully. After I finish taking care of things here, I will find a way to help her recover slowly."

"My legs..." Bai Luqiu bit her lip and finally couldn't help but said, "I can't dance anymore, right?"

"Being able to get you out of bed and walk is God's blessing. Although I am proficient in medical science, I am not a god after all." Hua Yuxi said sadly: "I'm sorry, it was me who hurt you."

After that, Hua Yuxi bowed deeply to Bai Luqiu, and then couldn't bear to look at her face anymore, pulled up the blue bridge and got off the boat.
