After waiting for a while at the back door, the person he was waiting for never showed up. Bei Tangye was so anxious that he jumped out of the carriage, took a little step, and flew up like a light swallow, climbing over the high wall of the Prime Minister's Palace, and fell down by a familiar route.
Sweeping in the direction of Qiyuan.
Falling down, Beitang Ye looked around. The quiet courtyard was so quiet that there was no sound of wind, which made people feel uneasy.
"Two girls."
Bei Tangye walked towards the ajar door, opened it, and saw that the room was empty, and there was nothing in the open closet. His heart shrank, and a bad feeling came to his heart. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw the table
There was a note on the top, which was left for Lu Xiuyuan. He picked up the note tremblingly and read it. In a few simple words, he told Beitang Ye clearly.
She left.
She just left.
She didn't even leave him a word or a sentence, and just left without saying goodbye.
"Lu Wushuang, you damn woman, you have stolen my heart, and you want to leave quietly like this, leave my life, I won't allow it, I will never allow it. Even if I chase you to the end of the world, I will chase you back.
." Bei Tangye clenched his fists tightly, his black eyes filled with anger and unparalleled persistence.
"Tie Yi, send an order to the hidden guards. We are looking for people in the whole city. We will go to the four city gates in the southeast and northwest to ask if the two girls and Xiang Xiang have left the city?" Forcing himself to calm down, Beitang Ye looked towards Tie who was waiting outside the courtyard.
Yi ordered.
"Yes." Tie Yi agreed, his figure looked like a ghost, and he ducked away.
After a torturous day, the sun rising in the east has moved to the west mountain and is slowly setting.
In the study room of Prince Qi's Mansion, Beitang Ye, who had not eaten or drank all day long, stood by the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the darkening sky. The anxiety was obvious in his dark pupils.
Why, why did a whole day pass and still no news came?
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the study. Bei Tangye immediately ran towards the door of the study. Tieyi strode over with a tired face.
"How's it going? Is there any news about her?" Bei Tangye's eyes lit up and he looked at Tie Yi with hope and asked hurriedly.
"No." Tie Yi couldn't bear to shake his head and said: "The hidden guards have been searching in Tiaocheng for a whole day, but there is no news about Miss Lu and Xianghua. My subordinates also sent people to check the east, west, south, and north gates, and found out
There are no two similarly young girls, fourteen or fifteen years old, who have gone out of the city. My lord, do you think Miss Lu has disguised herself as a man and gone out of the city?"
Tieyi believed in the ability of the hidden guards. There has been no news yet, which can only mean one thing. Lu Wushuang and Vanilla have left the city.
However, no one asked about the news at the city gate, so Tie Yi guessed.
"Damn, why didn't I think of this?"
When Jing Tieyi mentioned it, Beitang Ye's mind flashed back to the last time at the Nanfeng Pavilion, Lu Wushuang also disguised herself as a man to play the piano. Feeling slightly self-reproached, he immediately walked to the desk and started drawing quickly. In less than half an hour, Lu Wushuang's daughter
The appearance of dressing up as a man is vivid on the paper, and both the charm and appearance are very similar.
Just in case, he then drew another portrait of Vanilla. This portrait was very different from Lu Wushuang's portrait.
Beitang Ye handed the two portraits to Tie Yi and hurriedly ordered: "Take them to the city gate and ask again."
After taking the portrait, Tie Yi responded, turned around and blew out of the study like a gust of wind.
However, Bei Tangye still underestimated Lu Wushuang's ability to disguise himself, and Tieyi was destined to fail.
Looking east of the city, Baishui Town is a hundred miles away.
Lu Wushuang, who was dressed in men's clothing, was sitting in the carriage, with two mustaches sticking to the corners of her mouth, and her slender eyebrows were thickened a lot. The most memorable thing was the big black mole at the corner of her mouth, which completely covered her whole body.
His temperament and appearance completely changed.
Similarly, Vanilla, who was dressed in women's clothing, also changed greatly. Her black hair was tied into a woman's bun and wrapped in a cloth. Her delicate little face was dotted with pockmarks, which made her look ugly. And her belly was slightly bulging, making her look ugly.
She is a pregnant woman who is pregnant with Liujia.
"Boss Lu, it's getting dark now. We may have to stay one night in Baishui Town tonight." An honest-looking coachman who looked to be in his forties or fifties drove the carriage to the door of an inn in Baishui Town.
Said behind the curtain.
"Okay." Lu Wushuang agreed. She slowly stepped out of the carriage, holding the vanilla stuffed in a cloth bag under her clothes.
We stayed one night in Baishui Town. As soon as the sun came up the next day, we had breakfast in the town and bought some food to take on the road. Lu Wushuang and Vanilla took the carriage again and continued towards Yuezhou.
On the way.
I have been traveling eastward for half a month. Now the weather is getting cooler and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
On this day, in the evening, the carriage arrived at Heishui Ridge, where there was no village in front and no store in back. This place belonged to the territory of Youzhou.
The carriage was speeding on the mountain road. Seeing that night was coming, the horse whip in the driver's hand whipped even faster.
"Uncle Liu, it's getting dark now. I think it's better not to rush on the road. Let's just make a fire in the wilderness for one night." Lu Wushuang, who was sitting in the carriage, was a little uncomfortable.
She opened the curtain of the carriage, looked up at the dim sky and said.
"The nights in the mountains are very cold in autumn, and your wife is pregnant with a child, so it is easy to catch cold. While we can still see the road now, we will drive for a while until it gets completely dark. If there is no inn ahead,
At that time, I will have no choice but to spend the night in the barren mountains." Uncle Liu is also a kind-hearted person, and he is kind-hearted and considers the vanilla stuffed in a cloth bag in his stomach.
Lu Wushuang put down the curtain and said nothing, acquiescing to Uncle Liu to continue on his way.
Two quarters of an hour later, when the last ray of light on the horizon was swallowed up by darkness, Uncle Liu, who was driving the car, finally saw a dim candlelight swaying in the wind about ten meters ahead.
"Drive." Uncle Liu waved his whip and drove the car towards the swaying candlelight.
After a while, the carriage stopped.
Lu Wushuang opened the curtain of the carriage and saw the carriage parked in front of a dimly lit inn. She glanced at the inn with the open door. The inn was a bit shabby. The lobby was deserted and there was not a single guest.
The shopkeeper was dozing off in front of the counter, and the waiter was staring at the candles on the table in a daze.
In this barren mountain, such a scene seemed normal, but Lu Wushuang just felt uneasy. But this inn was the only one within dozens of miles, so even if he felt uneasy, he had no other choice.
When Lu Wushuang supported Vanilla and walked into the inn, she turned her head slightly and reminded her in Vanilla's ear to be careful. The coachman followed the two of them and also walked into the inn.
When business came to the door, the drowsy shopkeeper suddenly became energetic. When his eyes saw Vanilla's slightly protruding belly, his eyes lit up, and it disappeared so quickly that no one could catch it. And that
The waiter at the famous waiting hall also quickly stood up and walked forward with a light step, "Three guests, please take a seat."
Lu Wushuang, Vanilla and Uncle Liu sat down at the waiter's greeting.
"Our store has authentic pheasant, wild rabbit meat and wild boar meat. I wonder what you two would like to eat?" the waiter introduced with a smile, but his shining eyes were the same as the shopkeeper's. When he saw the herbs
The slightly bulging belly made his eyes light up and then disappeared quickly.
"Just a piece of wild rabbit meat, a pheasant to make soup, and two side dishes to fry." Lu Wushuang did not miss the way the waiter stared at Vanilla's belly with bright eyes. She nodded calmly.
Food, but I felt wary.
"The food will be ready soon." The waiter ran towards the kitchen in the backyard like a gust of wind.
"Shopkeeper, where is the latrine?" Lu Wushuang pretended to be anxious, deliberately lowering his voice and said harshly.
"The latrine, after exiting the inn door, walk ten or twenty steps to the left and you'll be there." The shopkeeper pointed to the inn door and replied.
"Thank you." Lu Wushuang stood up and asked the shopkeeper for a lantern, then walked out of the inn door.
The night wind in the mountains blew loudly, causing the leaves to rub against each other and rustle, which was mysterious and mysterious.
Lu Wushuang walked on the dark road with a lantern, feeling a creepy feeling. She did not go to the latrine, but walked around the inn with the lantern, and found nothing strange.
When she returned to the inn lobby, the food had been served on the table. She put her hands into her sleeves and pretended to take something. With a thought, she held a silver hairpin in her hand. After testing the poison one by one, she moved towards
Vanilla and Uncle Liu nodded, "You can eat it."
The three of them started eating with their chopsticks. The food was indeed good, and it was real game from the mountains. It was particularly fragrant.
After having enough wine and food, Lu Wushuang asked for two rooms, one for herself and Vanilla, and one for Uncle Liu.
After returning to the room, Lu Wushuang casually washed up and took off his makeup, and then cautiously began to check the room.
A simple room with a bed, a table, a few chairs, and a wardrobe.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Lu Wushuang looked around and touched here and there. Vanilla asked curiously as she pulled off the cloth bag tied around her belly.
"Nothing, just taking a look."
After going around, he didn't find anything suspicious. Lu Wushuang walked to the window again, took a look, closed the window, then walked to the door, bolted it, and lay down on the bed to rest.
In the middle of the night, a strange fragrance spread in the room. This smell did not blow in from the window, but from under the bed where Lu Wushuang and Xianghua slept.
The aroma floated upwards, and by the time Lu Wushuang woke up, she had already inhaled it several times. Vanilla was completely unprepared and naturally fell into a deep sleep.
"Damn it, I forgot to check under the bed."
With the faint light coming from the window, looking at the wisps of white smoke coming out from under the bed, Lu Wushuang cursed in a low voice. She bit the tip of her tongue, and the pain temporarily woke her up. She climbed out of bed and went to the hospital.
He walked towards the window, intending to open it and let the cool night air blow in and disperse the smoke in the house.
Just when Lu Wushuang was about to reach the window, a strong wave of dizziness hit her. At the same time, she also heard the sound of wooden boards being pushed under the bed.
