Ouyang Ke made up his mind, so he put on his fox fur cloak, told his concubine, left the inn, and stepped into the wind and snow.

Today is the Laba Festival, and the city of Kaifeng is very lively. People come out to play after dinner. If it hadn't happened to be a stormy night, it would have been even more lively.

Mr. Ouyang passed through the crowd and came to the vicinity of Prince Zhao's Mansion. He had been here several times and was familiar with the road, but he had never carefully observed the surrounding environment. Since he planned to rob people at this time, he had to find an escape route first, or a stepping stone.

.

Prince Zhao's Mansion used to be the residence of Cai Jing, the powerful prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. This is not the best residence in Kaifeng City. The best residence in Kaifeng City is the original palace of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although the inner garden of the palace is somewhat dilapidated after being invaded by the war, it is still a

The residence of an emperor in a prosperous dynasty, with just a few repairs, it would be the most gorgeous palace.

But Wanyan Honglie did not dare to live there. If he lived there, it would be a crime of transgression and he would be impeached by the officials. Unless he wanted to establish himself as emperor in the Jiangbei area, he would have to do all these superficial things.

Cai Jing, the prime minister of the generation, is known as the most corrupt prime minister in history. This shows that the luxury of his residence is only slightly inferior to that of the palace garden. Cai Jing is from Fujian in the south, so the buildings in his residence are Jiangnan gardens.

The style of rockery and waterside pavilions can be seen everywhere, which is rare in Kaifeng Prefecture in the north.

This is the reason why Wanyan Honglie chose this house. He wanted Bao Xiruo to feel like he was in his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. This kind of subtle thoughtfulness is the real care.

Ouyang Ke was wandering around the palace. The white fox fur cloak he wore was the same color as the snowflakes, making him unobtrusive in the snow. Moreover, the guards in front of the palace had already taken shelter in the doorway.

Just after Hai Shi, the sound of the watchman banging his wooden clapper came far away in the wind and snow. This was the time to rest.

In this era, except for those who have official duties, such as soldiers on patrol, everyone else goes to bed around nine o'clock. Even businesses such as brothels and Chu Guan, which rely on night life, have to close at this time. Of course, the people inside

No one cares about the excitement.

Ouyang Ke waited quietly in the snow, like a lurking poisonous snake. He could endure it in order to achieve his goal.

The hustle and bustle in the palace gradually died down, but the guard at the door did not evacuate. This was very unusual. Ouyang Ke didn't know that Wanyan Honglie had specifically asked the guard at the door to wait for the young prince's return.

This fact did not dissuade Mr. Ouyang from his determination to win the beauty back. He still held on to it.

Half an hour later, he shook off the snowflakes from his body and came to the outside of the palace wall. He jumped up to the wall more than ten feet high, then jumped down lightly and landed on the snow, like a cat.

, not even a sound was made.

Ouyang Ke chose the backyard of the Prince's Mansion. According to his estimation, it was relatively close to the Prince's back house. Although he had been to Prince Zhao's Mansion several times, he always met Wanyan Honglie in the front hall to discuss the layout of the back house.

not sure.

He guessed that the place where the princess lived must be the most luxurious place, so he looked for the tower and palace, but he didn't know that what Bao Xiruo liked was the farmyard. So Mr. Ouyang walked in front of Princess Zhao's residence, and there was no trace of it at all.

Noticed the small wooden cabin that looked like the servants' quarters.

When Ouyang Ke walked by, a small figure sneaked out of the cabin. The figure looked left and right and walked in the opposite direction to Ouyang Ke.

That figure was Xiao Huang Rong. Although she had achieved a staged victory during the day, she still could not leave the palace, which made her cry. After crying, the little girl became more frustrated and braver and started a new journey.

An escape plan.

At this time, Bao Xiruo was protecting her, and the four ghosts of the Yellow River did not dare to watch her, creating favorable conditions for her to escape. After nightfall, she lay on the bed and fell asleep. After Bao Xiruo fell asleep, she quietly got up, opened the door, and

Sneaked out.

The snow had been falling for an hour or two, and the snow covered her feet. The little girl was trudging in the snow. In the afternoon, she saw a big tree, right next to the wall. As long as she could climb the tree, she could climb up to the top.

Build a wall, and then bravely jump off to escape.

Of course, as the smart and witty little princess of Peach Blossom Island, she had already prepared a long strip of cloth, which she tore up a piece of clothing and tied it back together again, so that she could land safely.

With everything ready, Xiao Huangrong's escape plan began.

Ouyang Ke and Xiao Huang Rong were wandering around the back house of the palace. The young owner of Baituo Mountain was quick on his feet. He had been looking for the most luxurious courtyard here, and there were a few servants guarding the door. That was where Princess Zhao should live.

place, but he looked around and found no such place.

Will the majestic princess live with the slaves?

Ouyang Ke was confused. He decided to arrest a servant and ask. However, it snowed heavily today and the servants also rested early. The back house of Prince Zhao's house was not strictly managed because Bao Xiruo was in charge. Those servants knew that this

The princess was a good person and would not disturb her servants easily, so she slept peacefully.

At this moment, a small figure entered his field of vision, and he saw a child climbing a tree.

Xiao Huangrong climbed many trees on Peach Blossom Island, which was not difficult for her. However, due to the heavy snow, the difficulty of climbing trees increased a lot. Her hands slipped and she fell several times. Fortunately, there was snow on the ground, so she fell hard.

It didn't hurt very much, so the little girl kept fighting with the tree without noticing that a villain came next to her.

Ouyang Ke was very confused, what was this little girl doing? Is she practicing martial arts? I had never heard of this kind of tree climbing in the martial arts. He had already recognized this little girl as the one who appeared with Princess Zhao at noon.

Girl, she must know where the princess lives.

He grabbed Xiao Huang Rong and brought her to his eyes.

"Tell me where the princess lives?" Ouyang Ke said gloomily.

Xiao Huang Rong looked at the man whose face was covered with white gauze. She could tell at a glance that he was a bad guy. Good people wouldn't be so sneaky. She also asked about the princess's residence. She must be a bad guy like Wan Yankang.

But now she is in the hands of a bad person. A good child will not suffer the immediate consequences, but he cannot bring this bad person to the princess. The little princess of Peach Blossom Island is loyal, and she will treat whoever is good to her, so she decided to play a trick

This bad guy.

"Are you looking for the princess? I'll take you there." Xiao Huang Rong said innocently.

Ouyang Ke originally wanted to use coercion and inducement, but he didn't expect this child to be so innocent. He thought he was a friend of the princess, but how could any friend come to see someone with a mask on in the middle of the night? It can only be said that this child is too naive.

Xiao Huang Rong and Ouyang Ke were wandering around the palace. She had just arrived at the palace today and was not familiar with the terrain. She just wanted to find a place with people to expose the villain's conspiracy to murder the princess. However, she became more and more remote.

We came to a blind corner of the back house.

"Princess lives here?" Ouyang Ke said coldly.

At this moment, he already understood that the child was playing tricks on him, and he couldn't help but feel angry. He wanted to kill the little girl with one palm. The little girl saw the fierce light in the evil man's eyes and began to be afraid.

"The princess is really down there, if you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." Xiao Huang Rong pointed casually and said seriously.

Xiao Huangrong was referring to a barren weedy field. She wanted to take advantage of the bad guy's daze to escape, but she didn't expect that the bad guy was really staring at the weedy field. This was because Ouyang Ke felt that there was something really real under the ground.

Someone was there, which made him alert.

Suddenly, a whip shadow suddenly appeared and swept the little girl away.
