Chapter 204 Let the "tiger" return to the mountain
Wu Xi pointed fiercely at the back window.
"Your Highness, I am from this town, and I am most familiar with the terrain. I will take you out of here."
King Yi nodded: "Okay."
Wu Xi suddenly opened the back window and jumped out, looking around to see if there was no one around, and helped King Yi out as well.
Wing King's force value is average, but he is still quite dexterous.
The defense in the Zhizhou Mansion was fairly tight, and Wu Ximeng led King Yi to hide here and there, sweating unknowingly.
King Yi was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth, and he followed Wu Ximeng without missing a step.
Finally seeing the back door, Wu Ximeng went over to open the door first and asked King Yi to hurry over.
Two horses were tied outside the door. Wu Ximeng helped King Yi mount the horse: "Your Highness, follow me!"
He spurred his horse forward and charged straight into the night, with King Yi following closely behind.
After crossing two intersections and seeing no pursuers behind him, King Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Xi said fiercely: "Your Highness, you will be able to leave the town soon. I have seen that there are people guarding the entrance of the town. I don't know who they are at the moment. We can't take risks."
"How about that?"
"I'll take you on a small path. It's more difficult, but you can definitely get out."
"it is good."
This path is indeed difficult to walk. You can't walk on a horse. You have to get down and hold the horse. There are many branches with long thorns on the roadside. After walking a few meters, Yiwang got hung up.
A few strands of his hair were torn out, his clothes were torn, and there was blood on his face and hands and backs.
He wanted to get angry irritably - when had he ever suffered such a crime!
After finally walking out, it was already dawn.
Wu Ximeng also let out a long breath: "Your Highness, we can return to Beijing now. Hurry up and get on your horse. It will be safe when you leave here."
King Yi looked towards the direction of the sunrise and asked, "Where is that place over there?"
"Go back to Your Highness, that's the direction of Xucheng."
King Yi got on his horse, held the reins tightly, and thought for a moment: "If I don't go back to Beijing, I will go to Xucheng."
Wu Ximeng was puzzled: "Your Highness, why do you want to go to Xucheng?"
King Yi looked back at Antai Town and gritted his teeth angrily: "If a good plan is ruined by Huo Changhe and that woman, I will never let it go!
How could a dignified prince be forced into such a situation by a king with a different surname? This king must let him die here! "
"Then what does His Highness plan to do? Although not everyone in this town belongs to him, Anjia..."
"If An Cizhou goes against me, I will not show mercy. When the time comes, I will kill him as well, and then go back and say it was Huo Changhe who did it. They are all dead anyway, who knows?"
Wu Ximeng raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, I agree. But, will Xu Cheng help His Highness? Qi Delong is not easy to give to."
King Yi thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter, Qi Delong has a daughter whom I love like a treasure. She has loved riding and shooting since she was a child. I heard that she was injured and cannot be pregnant. Therefore, she is over twenty and still has not been married. I will marry her." As a concubine, I don’t believe Qi Delong won’t be tempted.”
Wu Xi nodded fiercely: "What His Highness said makes sense."
"Go, drive!"
At the same time, An Cizhou, the governor of the prefecture, had been busy all night and was eating something to fill his stomach.
His subordinates came to report: "Sir, King Yi has escaped. The people who followed them came back and said that they took the path deliberately left by King Zhennan and were heading towards Xucheng."
An Cizhou quickly put down his chopsticks: "Quick, get the carrier pigeon given by King Zhennan!"
When the carrier pigeon was brought in, An Cizhou didn't write a letter and just released the pigeon.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe galloped on the road to Xucheng.
A pigeon whistle sounded in the air. Huo Changhe slowed down and stretched out his arms. The pigeon landed on his arm.
"Wu Ximeng is quite capable, and he really rescued King Yi." Huo Changhe smiled at Yan Ruyu, "The next step is up to us."
Yan Ruyu urged the horse, which was half a horse faster than him: "How sure are you, Your Majesty?"
"Eighty percent," Huo Changhe urged his horse to catch up. "I know him fairly well. If other methods don't work, I'll definitely succeed if I use a provoking method."
"Then I wish us immediate success."
When we arrived at Xucheng, the lanterns were first lit. The walls of Xucheng were tall and stronger than those of Sucheng, and the soldiers stationed there were in high spirits.
The city is very lively, the night market is open and people are coming and going.
Huo Changhe said: "Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat first. We won't be in a hurry."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "That's fine."
Huo Changhe's eyebrows curved slightly: "I'll take you to eat delicious food. I know this place well."
"Have you been here before?"
"Been here, more than once."
Instead of going to a big restaurant, I found a small restaurant. The owners are an old couple. The old woman makes the noodles and steamed buns by herself, and the old man cooks them. There are not many customers, but it is full of warmth.
Yan Ruyu sat down and Huo Changhe wiped her hands with a wet towel.
Yan Ruyu had never been cared for like this since she grew up, and she wanted to withdraw her hand unnaturally.
"Don't move," Huo Changhe looked at her hand carefully and held it slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing," Yan Ruyu withdrew, her palms a little hot, "It's nothing hard."
The old man brought two bowls of noodles, and the aroma and heat filled Huo Changhe's brows: "I will never let you work hard again in the future."
Just as Yan Ruyu was about to speak, the old woman came out from behind the curtain, holding a round white plate.
On the plate is a round, yellow meatloaf, fragrant and oily.
The old woman said with a smile: "The last bit of dough and stuffing was left. It wasn't worth making any more steamed buns, so I baked this little meat pie, just for you. I hope you and your little couple will be as harmonious and happy as this pie, and have a happy reunion."
Huo Changhe stood up quickly and took the plate: "Thank you, old man."
"Eat quickly and give more to the little lady."
"it is good."
The old man shouted in the kitchen: "Oh, why haven't you drank this soup yet? It will be cold in a while. Come quickly and leave the work to me."
"It's too hot. I can't drink it. It's coming, so I'm going to rush you."
Yan Ruyu raised the corners of her lips unconsciously. Huo Changhe gave her a large piece of cake, with a warm smile in his eyes: "I can also make this cake. If you like it, I will make it for you in the future."
Yan Ruyu took a bite, and her lips and teeth were fragrant: "Can you still do this?"
"I know a lot," Huo Changhe handed her a small meat bun. "Before I was at the border, sometimes I wanted to taste the taste of home, so I would make it myself. I didn't know how to do it at the beginning, but I gradually became proficient in it."
"Is Yin Tuo Tuo also trained in this way?"
"That's right, he has no other hobbies. Apart from practicing martial arts, he loves tinkering with all kinds of food."
The two chatted while eating, and a meal in a foreign country under tense circumstances turned out to be warm and comfortable.
When we left the tavern, it was already dark.
Huo Changhe found out that Qi Delong had been living in the mansion for the past two days, not in the military camp. It seemed that Miss Qi was feeling unwell again, so she went home to take care of her.
The Qi Mansion was even more heavily guarded than the prefecture in Antai Town. Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu entered through the back door and avoided the patrol sentry.
