When the guard at the city gate was entangled with Wen Shaoxue and his servant, and when the guard kicked away a dirty homeless man, no one noticed the expression of the homeless man in the corner.
His expression was not fear but anger, with a little helpless sadness. It was like a flower that he had worked so hard to raise, but watched others ruthlessly pick it and throw it into the grass, but he could only stay away.
From a distance, nothing can be done. Not only now, but also in the future.
Prince Huai stared at Wen Shaoxue's back, with mixed feelings in his heart. He thought of too many times in the past when they could face each other calmly.
For example, when they first met, Wen Shaoxue angrily quarreled with a customer at the door. Another example is that after that, he pretended that he had a sister and went to the store every day to pick out rouge.
They once chased each other recklessly and joked on the racecourse together, and they also had a clear conversation in a teahouse and almost ended up not having any contact with each other.
The plan has been successful so far. When Wen Shaoxue went there the day before, he had mentioned to them his suspicions about why the city gate was opened so late.
"Someone must have spread the word in advance, so there are so many rumors that the city gate will be opened this morning, but he didn't actually do it this morning and delayed the opening until noon."
"He did this because he seemed to be worried that we wouldn't know about it." King Huai also felt that the city gate was done too deliberately.
"And I asked Xiaotong and Liu'er to go in and out of the city gate several times today, and I found that they checked things with the word "Rui" very carefully. They must have guessed something."
"Could it be that King Rui told them something?" Yichen wondered.
"No, Zhu Changhao is very conceited. He never reports anything to others. If he really wanted to give you the jade to give you a chance to regret it, why should he tell others about it?
To take a step back, if it was really him who told the King of Zhou about the jade pendant, then the city defenders would not have to carefully check everything with the word auspicious."
"If this is really the case, maybe we can make good use of this." Wen Shaoxue made up her mind that this time she could only succeed and not fail. Because she was betting not only on her own life, but also on
There are Liu'er and Xiaotong, and they must not be implicated.
Finally, they decided on a strategy to attack the east and attack the west. Wen Shaoxue and Liu Er used the jade pendant as a lure to attract the main attention of the guards. They would definitely devote a lot of energy to the jade pendant. Yichen and King Huai took advantage of this.
This opportunity, together with other homeless people, slipped away from them in a big way.
The two of them changed their clothes and put on ashes, then hunched over and mingled among the homeless. As expected, they saw Wen Shaoxue who had prepared a motorcade at the gate of the city.
The two parties acted at the same time. Liu Er pretended to casually reveal the identity of King Rui, and then naturally found the jade pendant. Among the crowd were beggars and children they had arranged in advance, and King Huai even deliberately approached him, trying to
He pulled the guard's clothes and was kicked away.
This kick was really hard, and he had an old injury, so he almost couldn't get up for a while. But thanks to this, Yichen was able to help him walk slowly.
The time they picked was exactly when the most people were coming and going at the city gate, with people coming in and people going out. Even if someone wanted to find out something through this in the end, it would be impossible.
When they were looking for someone, they didn't use their original identities at all. They searched layer by layer, and in the end they had no idea where the source would be.
It was under this arrangement that King Huai and Yichen took advantage of the time when the guards at the city gate were least relaxed, and quietly squeezed out of the city among other people.
After walking out for a while, the two of them slowly quickened their pace, looking a little dazed, as if they couldn't believe they had left the capital like this, leaving the place they had so ambitiously wanted to conquer.
Prince Huai looked back at the direction of the city gate: "She will be fine, right?"
Yichen nodded vigorously: "Yes, we have successfully come out. They don't have any evidence. Miss Wen will be fine. Besides, there is Prince Rui. Since she chose to leave the jade pendant to Miss Wen, he should not
You will die without saving anything."
They didn't even know that King Rui was gone. Just a few days ago, the bones had been transported out of the capital.
"Do you think I will see her again?" King Huai walked forward slowly and asked suddenly.
Yichen didn't know how to answer this question. In fact, it didn't make much difference whether they met or not. Besides, whether they would come to the capital again in the future was still a question.
"Since it is something in the future, who knows what will happen? If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again." He could only comfort King Huai like this.
"That's all, I just hope that she can wait for her sweetheart and be safe in the future." King Huai smiled and walked away with Yichen's support.
When they got to the outskirts of Beijing, the two of them bought two new sets of clothes to replace the dirty and smelly rags they were wearing. Yichen also bought a carriage to help them travel.
King Huai insisted that he could also ride a horse. Riding a carriage was too obvious. Yichen tried to persuade him to no avail, but luckily he had all the money and insisted on buying a carriage.
King Huai seemed to be dissatisfied. He felt that only those who wanted to show off would ride in carriages when traveling, and other than that there were some delicate and frail ladies. He was neither of the two.
On the side.
In order to leave quickly without further delaying time, Yichen had no choice but to promise to sell the carriage in exchange for two horses when his injury got better. Only then did Prince Huai agree to ride in the carriage.
"Your Majesty, where should we go next?" Yichen asked while driving the carriage. They were finally able to leave the capital, but where should they go?
"I'm suddenly very curious about the emperor now. Since they have all gone to Nanjing, let's go there too. Maybe we will meet someone on the way, or we may suddenly want to stop somewhere." Huai
The king's voice came through the curtain.
Yichen exhaled a long breath: "Okay, let's go all the way south, and we'll be fine wherever we go."
He had thought about it before. The expenses that Miss Wen prepared for them would be enough for them to travel for a long time, but he did not intend to just sit back and have nothing. He was a big man with hands and feet, and he couldn't find a way to earn money.
What about money work?
As long as they can get away from the search in the capital, as long as they can survive unharmed, what does it mean to be a little bitter and tired?
