The light in the room was very dark, but the two were so close that they could hear each other. Fang Jun could still vaguely see the worry on Princess Changle's pretty face.
With one hand free, she lifted up the stray hair at her temples. Princess Changle turned her head slightly as if to avoid it, but finally stopped and allowed Fang Jun to lift up the strand of hair and put it behind her ear.
This guy actually took the opportunity to touch his crystal-clear ear beads...
Her Royal Highness the Princess glared angrily, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Fang Jun put down his hand and said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Just because they will doubt whether the minister will be hiding in Your Highness's room, they will definitely let you out so that they can search here without restraint. They can take risks, but in
Without confirming His Highness’s love, I will never cut off my own escape route.”
Princess Changle suddenly realized: "So, as long as they can't find you, not only will they not dare to stop me, they will even keep letting me out?"
Fang Jun said: "That's right."
Princess Changle immediately frowned again and said hesitantly: "But as long as I leave here, they will definitely rush in and search carefully. They may turn everything upside down. How can you still hide there?"
Fang Jun said confidently: "Your Highness, don't worry, it is almost impossible to escape from here, but if you hide it, it will not be difficult for them to find it before the navy comes in."
There are probably no less than fifty guards stationed here. It is impossible for them all to be bribed by the Guanlong nobles, so they dare not conduct a thorough search with great fanfare. As long as they avoid the guards standing guard outside the window, they can hide anywhere in such a large manor.
You can prevent them from finding it.
Princess Changle frowned and expressed her agreement.
Then he said: "At this moment, those thieves must be searching for you everywhere. According to what you said before, you swam against the water, they must be searching along the river. If there is a good tracker among them, it will not be difficult to find your traces of sneaking into the manor, so
You must hide quickly, maybe they will search here next moment."
Fang Jun spread her palms, covered them with his own, palms facing each other, feeling the softness and warmth, staring at Princess Changle's pretty face, and said softly: "Even so, how can Wei Chen live up to it?"
What about this God-given opportunity?"
Princess Xia of Changle had jade cheeks, she could not suppress her embarrassment, and said slightly angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just see you as pitiful and can't bear to see you die tragically at the hands of a traitor, so I draw my sword to help you when there is injustice on the road. You are such a person.
Damn it, but don’t think about it all day long.”
Fang Jun smiled and said nothing, but looked directly into Princess Changle's eyes.
After all, Princess Changle was thin-skinned, so she lost her battle and turned her head to one side, leaving him with only a flawless profile.
But the palm of his hand was slightly exerted, and he held it upward.
Fang Jun whispered: "If I cannot escape from here today and eventually die tragically at the hands of a traitor, will Your Highness be sad and shed a few tears for Wei Chen?"
Princess Changle was frightened.
Then I remembered that although Fang Jun had always been very open-minded and always had a kind of confidence and calmness that he was in control, the situation was extremely dangerous. If he was not careful, he would be trapped in an encirclement and suppression. Even if he was brave enough to win the three armies,
Although he is a fierce general, he cannot defeat the four-handed man with just two fists.
just in case……
She almost didn't dare to think about it.
He took a deep breath, held Fang Jun's calloused but dry and warm hand, looked straight at him without evading, and said: "Don't say those unlucky words, you are a dignified man of seven feet, and even more so the Tang Dynasty."
A hero who has been through countless bloody battles and battlefields without any harm, how can he be easily trapped in this small manor? Without further ado, quickly escape from the back window and find a man.
Hide it in a hidden place and wait until everything is over safely."
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows, pretending to be confused, and asked: "Your Highness will tell you later...what do you want to say?"
Princess Changle was extremely embarrassed, but when she thought of the danger Fang Jun was facing, she finally softened her heart and said softly: "You know why you ask."
Fang Jun was overjoyed. He leaned forward and wanted to kiss her, saying, "Your Highness may cheat later on and refuse to admit his fault. I have to leave evidence first."
Princess Changle was horrified. Although tonight's experience made her let go of some of her restraints and guarding, she could not accept Fang Jun's more excessive measures after all. She said angrily: "You dare to do this, I will die in front of you!"
Fang Jun looked at the moistened lips that were close at hand, and had no choice but to swallow his saliva and stop talking.
Princess Changle pushed Fang Jun away, got up and went to the ground, straightened her clothes, and said softly: "Without further delay, you can leave quickly."
As he spoke, he walked towards the outside, lay down by the door and listened to the sounds outside. Guessing that several maids were already asleep, he waved to Fang Jun.
Fang Jun had already put on his clothes and walked over to the ground.
Princess Changle gently opened the door, pointed to the window behind the hall outside, leaned into his ear and said: "There are people down there, you go out through that window."
Her gentle words were like orchid and musk deer. Fang Jun's heart was filled with excitement. He leaned forward to kiss her, but Princess Changle hurriedly avoided her and just kissed her on her tender face.
Princess Changle was ashamed and annoyed. She stretched out her uninjured hand, pinched Fang Jun's ribs hard, and scolded in a low voice: "Get out of here!"
Fang Jun endured the pain, tiptoed across the hall, stood under the window and looked outside for a moment, turned back and waved to Princess Changle, gently pushed open the window, rolled out as lightly as a civet cat, turned around and closed the window.
The rain outside was no less intense than before, and it was pouring and pitch black.
The sound of rain and the darkness gave him an excellent cover. He put his hands on the eaves and gently rolled down. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he ran towards the backyard along the route he had observed in advance.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared into the dark night rain that a group of guards walked downstairs carrying lanterns.
The rain is pouring, and the footprints on the ground have long been submerged...
*****
Xi Junmai sent Fang Jun into the area guarded by Suzhou County soldiers. Seeing that the Suzhou Sima was adamant that his soldiers would not follow him, he returned to the station with his soldiers, ordered the fire-headed soldiers to prepare meals, and waited for Fang Jun with Wei Ying.
The soldiers had a meal together.
He was also Fang Jun's personal soldier at the beginning, so everyone got along well with each other. Unfortunately, the military strictly prohibited drinking, which inevitably made the atmosphere not warm enough.
After finishing the meal, everyone sat together drinking tea and chatting, waiting for Fang Jun.
But he waited and waited, but Fang Jun never turned around.
Wei Ying became a little anxious, and Xi Junmai also felt that something was not right.
Although Fang Jun is usually very carefree, he abides by the rules very much. If he plans to stay in the manor tonight, he will definitely make an explanation in advance. Since he has not made an explanation, it means that he will definitely return to Huating Town.
However, as half a day passed, there was no sign of anyone, and no one was even sent to inform him. Xi Junmai couldn't sit still, so he called his lieutenant to ask.
"Did anyone in Zhuangzi come out to inform?"
"General Mo has been guarding the intersection and has not seen anyone coming out of the village."
Xi Jun bought a military uniform and touched his chin in thought.
The captain saw his general's solemn expression. Maybe something big had happened. He thought about it and said, "It's just that there was some noise near the entrance of Zhuangzi before, and there was a roar, which seemed to be the sound of a musket, but it was more like the sound of a musket being fired."
thunder……"
"Mother!"
Xi Junmai's expression changed drastically, he stood up and kicked the captain hard, and said angrily: "Why didn't you report it in time?"
The captain said aggrievedly: "I thought it was thunder..."
Isn't it normal for thunder to occur on a rainy day?
Xi Junmai and Wei Ying looked at each other, and the latter immediately stood up and said in shock: "On the occasion of Erlang's luck, he specially ordered someone to carry a musket with him!"
Xi Jun slapped his thigh, pointed at the captain and cursed: "If anything happens to the commander, I will wait until I come back to skin you!"
Both of them were wearing helmets and armor. As they walked, they gathered their own men and walked quickly towards the station of Suzhou County soldiers.
They had been sitting in the tent before. If there was a thunder, how could they not have heard the truth?
Since they didn't hear it, it means that the roar was a little far away from them, so they didn't notice it. It was most likely a real musket fire!
Even if you can't confirm it, don't dare to ignore it. You must find out the matter quickly.
The captain was so scared that he was following behind like a zombie. The roar just now was really caused by the commander. It must have been an extremely dangerous situation. What if... He almost didn't dare to think about it.
Soon, a large group of people hurriedly arrived at the intersection guarded by the Suzhou County soldiers. Xi Junmai looked around and saw that there were many people in the Suzhou County soldiers' tent under the rain. There seemed to be something unusual, which made him even more worried.
