After two days of preparation, the time to set off with the caravan finally arrived.
Just after dinner, Lin Mengya went to bed early on the grounds that she felt unwell.
On the surface, everything seemed to be business as usual. Lin Mengya went to the door early in the morning and had a battle of wits and courage with the guards.
The situation at the scene showed that she was very angry. Therefore, this behavior of deliberately losing her temper was even more reasonable.
In the past few days, the guards have also become aware of her routine.
When they got up early in the morning, they must go out to make some noise. What made them a little helpless was that it was obvious that the princess, who was forced to live in seclusion, seemed to regard this kind of errand, which was very embarrassing for them, as a pastime.
It is said that every time the princess failed to escape, she would eat two more bowls of rice for breakfast.
Suddenly, the guard who was selected for such a deceptive mission must have run through a lot of horses.
Of course, all this was planned by Lin Mengya, and she had a perfect grasp of the psychology of the guards.
In the sky, the originally full and round moon has only a few pitiful teeth left.
In a world without moonlight, blackness seems to become thicker.
It was time for everything to fall asleep. The entire Prince Yu's Mansion also fell into silence and peace.
There was a "quacking" sound, whether it was the wind or something else, and the small door behind Liuxinyuan, which had not been used for a long time, suddenly opened a small crack.
Rust and dust fell to the ground. After a while, a little head covered in black cloth cautiously poked out.
Black cloth covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. He looked up, down, left and right, alert to everything around him.
When he was sure that there was no one around, his little head shrank back again.
After a while, two slender figures emerged from the small door.
After exchanging glances with each other, they bent their waists and followed the shadows in the corner, slowly but surely, to the back door of the palace.
"Master, isn't there someone guarding this back door?"
It turned out that these two thieves were none other than Lin Mengya and her little follower Bai Shao.
"Shh, don't talk. I have a clever plan."
Lin Mengya took the white peony root and found a small corner and squatted down.
Now, there are at least two hours before dawn. Normally, naturally, no one will open the door until dawn.
But today, it is different.
Not long after they hid, a yawning figure wearing clothes and holding a small orange lamp appeared at the back door.
< br> The man took out the key to the back door with nimble hands and feet. The sound of a series of keys colliding was extremely clear in the quiet night.
"Uncle Chen, you are really on time."
The person who opened the door stood aside reluctantly, complaining a little bit harshly.
Outside the door, a small carriage piled with fresh vegetables had just arrived at the door of the backyard.
"Thank you for your hard work. This is our family's specialty melon. It's not worth much. I brought it to my eldest brother so he can have a taste."
It is still spring, and the seeds in the ground have just been sown, so of course no fresh fruits and vegetables will grow.
However, in order to cater to the aristocrats in Kyoto, many smart farmers, according to the right time and place, introduced hot spring water and took advantage of the earth's atmosphere. Or they heated it with stoves all night to get a small number of off-season vegetables.
Of course, the price of such fruits and vegetables is ridiculously high. Even in Kyoto, only a few people can afford it.
The wealthy Prince Yu's Mansion is one of them. These precious vegetables will be delivered in a small carriage every seven days.
At that time, the guard at the back door will not be so strict. After all, it is a waste of time to check back and forth. Besides, as a princess, she has always had a good habit of going to bed early and getting up late.
No one would have expected that she would be willing to go early in order to escape and ascend to heaven.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Uncle Chen who was delivering food came in, Lin Mengya waved her hand and quietly slipped out with Bai Shao.
The thick darkness of the night has become their natural protective color.
Suppressing the elation of escaping, Lin Mengya and Bai Shao ran away with their little baggage.
But she didn't expect that just as her figure disappeared around the corner, several familiar black figures suddenly appeared from the alley she had just passed.
"You guys must protect the princess well and not make any mistakes."
Butler Deng ordered in a low voice, and the surrounding black shadows dispersed in an instant. Gradually, they were hidden in the darkness.
Looking at the princess in the distance, who had already sat on a small carriage and was running wildly, Butler Deng couldn't help but sigh softly.
In fact, the prince doesn't know that with the princess's temperament, she will never be able to stop her.
As for the prince's decision to confine the princess, it is just a show for outsiders to see.
With the princess's temperament, everyone in Kyoto knew that she was not someone who would quietly sit at home, embroider and watch birds.
Doing this can also reduce the suspicion that the princess is not in Kyoto.
I just don’t know how much the princess can understand the prince’s painstaking efforts.
Alas, I hope everything is safe and sound, Princess.
In the quiet night, Lin Mengya and Bai Shao, who had escaped, ran wildly.
Yunzhu had already prepared the driver and would follow them on the road.
Moreover, what surprised Lin Mengya was that this man was exactly the shrewd young man he saw at Father Bai's place.
No wonder Yunzhu said that someone would take good care of them along the way. From the first sight of this person, Lin Mengya felt that he looked so calm and smart.
Maybe you really have to rely on him along the way.
In the carriage with Bai Shao, he changed out of his dark night clothes. Inside, he was wearing ordinary clothes.
Lin Mengya dressed up in men's clothing, and her delicate and pretty face looked somewhat similar to Lin Nansheng's.
Fortunately, she doesn't have the shyness of ordinary girls. No matter where she looks, her eyes are open and open. After tidying up her clothes, she looks like a master of seducing girls with great aggressiveness.
"My dear lady, look at my husband's appearance. Isn't he also incredibly handsome?"
Lin Mengya pretended to look like a libertine, holding the folding fan in her hand and raising Bai Shao's chin frivolously.
The deliberately flirtatious look made Bai Shao laugh so hard.
Bai Shao is dressed like a bride, charming and gorgeous, but also dignified and generous.
The two of them went on the road together pretending to be a young couple, but except for a few people in the caravan, no one else knew about it.
It must be very inconvenient for the two girls to go out.
Moreover, Bai Shao's appearance is too charming, and she doesn't look like a man at all. The role of a married woman is more suitable for her, and it also prevents some unsighted people from teasing her on the road.
Of course, except for a few scumbags with special tastes.
The two of them packed their belongings in the carriage. In addition to clothes and shoes, Lin Mengya brought a lot of banknotes with her. It is said that a poor family has a rich road. Although the caravan has its own fixed route, it is inevitable that they will travel alone.
In order to avoid the tragic situation in the TV series where she got separated from the crowd and ended up living on the street penniless, Lin Mengya specially brought a lot of inconspicuous jewelry with her.
This look of being obsessed with money actually made Bai Shao smile and praise his master, he is really smart.
"Master, we are going to the inn soon. You still have to come down and buy some What is it?"
Lin Mengya was stunned by the sudden sound coming from outside.
The caravan met at an inn in Kyoto and left together.
She opened the sedan curtain and lay there, quietly exchanging information with the groom.
"According to your instructions, you are the only son of a wealthy businessman in Yunzhou. Your surname is Yuan Minglin, and you have only been married for less than half a year. This time, you are going to inspect your property in Lintian Kingdom. I am your groom, and my name is Yuan San
, the young lady is Yuan Ma’s family, and her single name is Hui.”
Not knowing what this man's original name was, Lin Mengya could only temporarily call this young man Yuan San.
She received her customs clearance document, and everything about her, Bai Shao, and Yuan San was clearly written on it.
She read it over and over again, and together with Bai Shao, she memorized all the basic information about herself.
Fortunately, with the help of the Shennong System, she memorized every word.
"Master, the inn has arrived."
Yuan San said respectfully outside, and Lin Mengya straightened her expression. This will be her journey. I wonder what kind of adventure this trip to Lintian Kingdom will bring her.
With her little hands, she opened the curtain. Lin Mengya, like a man, supported Bai Shao and got out of the carriage.
Although it was still early in the morning, the inn was already full of people coming and going, and the flow was endless.
Whether they are traders from other places or traders who are about to leave Beijing, they all stay in this Yunlai Inn for a short time.
Although the imperial court emphasized agriculture over commerce, the status of merchants continued to rise due to the accumulation of wealth.
Fortunately, there were people from all countries in the Yunlai Inn, and their group did not attract much attention.
Yuan San led Lin Mengya and the others to find the leader of this caravan.
This is a veteran known as Mr. Guo. Yunzhu said that before he joined Sanjuetang, he used to be the head escort of a large escort agency.
As for why he was reduced to giving Sanjuetang the leader of a caravan, Yunzhu didn't know.
It’s just that Mr. Guo is a man of righteousness and has rich experience. He has completed many tasks very well before. Therefore, this time, the task of establishing Sanjuetang in Lintian Kingdom was given to him.
Of course, on the surface, it is just a cover for business exchanges.
"Hello, Mr. Guo. This junior has long heard of Mr. Guo's reputation. When I saw him today, he is truly worthy of his reputation. This is a small gift prepared for you by this junior. It is not a sign of respect."
Mr. Guo and his two deputies were sitting in the hall having breakfast.
