The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned
Chapter 121 Returning Her Favor
"Yangzhou is ahead." The sun was a little dazzling. Meng Xuanhe put his hands over his eyes and squinted to look ahead.
The city of Yangzhou was already visible in the distance, and the journey up was relatively easy.
But the whole journey was by water, so we could avoid the army. It would not be easy to enter Yangzhou City.
Meng Xuanhe put some makeup on his face and added some dots to make himself look like a refugee. Although Ying Wugui did not look like Meng Xuanhe, he also changed his original appearance.
Meng Xuanhe believed that his plan was flawless and being dumped by Li Chuan was the best outcome.
In this way, Xie Lin would never know that it was a puppet, and his identity would be beyond proof.
But unexpectedly, when Meng Xuan and Ying Wugui entered the city, the guards of Yangzhou City were carefully looking at the people entering the city.
The guards at the city gate each held a portrait in their hands, and Meng Xuanhe was frightened at a casual glance.
Because the person in the portrait was none other than herself. She was puzzled as to how she was discovered.
The person who ordered the search for the portrait was not someone else but Li Chuan. Li Chuan had already discovered that Meng Xuanhe was not dead, and he was sure that she would flee to some other place.
Li Chuan was almost certain to kill Meng Xuanhe. She would never allow Meng Xuanhe to live in this world, so that Xie Lin would not remember the past one day.
Li Chuan gave orders to the guards in Yangzhou without telling Xie Lin.
Naturally, she couldn't come to Yangzhou in person, so she could only place her own confidants in Yangzhou.
At this moment, there was a slim girl among the guards. Her slightly exotic clothes and features made Meng Xuanhe recognize her as a member of the Wuxiang tribe at a glance.
"The goddess said that they will arrive in Yangzhou in the next two days. They must carefully interrogate anyone entering the city. That person is good at disguising himself, so don't let him go."
The woman's cold voice suddenly reached Meng Xuanhe's ears.
"Yes, Miss Zhishi." The guards responded one after another.
Everyone knows that the goddess of the Wuxiang tribe has always been with Xie Lin. Although they have no official status, it is rumored that Xie Lin loves her very much.
This time, after conquering Nanmeng, Xie Lin unified the two countries. Li Chuan is undoubtedly the best candidate for the queen, so no one should be slack when it comes to the people of the Wuxiang tribe.
Ying Wugui casually grabbed Meng Xuanhe and pulled her to the outside of the city gate, away from the sight of the guards.
As luck would have it, Meng Xuanhe happened to step on a dead leaf branch, making a crackling sound. The guards didn't hear the subtle sound, but Qin Zhishi turned around in an instant.
"Who?" Qin Zhishi frowned and walked slowly towards the city gate where Meng Xuanhe and Ying Wugui were.
When Meng Xuanhe just stepped into the gate of Yangzhou city, he found a carriage with the word "Xi" written on it. Although this carriage was not as gorgeous as the princess sedan chair he rode in Bianjing City, it was still considered a wealthy and powerful family in Yangzhou City.
A slight cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and she immediately thought of the two old friends she met in Yangzhou City.
The situation was urgent and Meng Xuanhe had no time to think. She walked straight towards the carriage that was about to enter the city.
"But Master Xi Yu of the Xi family?"
Meng Xuanhe lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.
Soon, a familiar voice was heard from inside the sedan.
"you are?"
Hearing this voice, Meng Xuanhe's heart trembled slightly, as if he was back to that afternoon in Bian Jing a year ago.
That year, the setting sun dyed the entire city of Bianjing golden.
At that time, she was still the beloved eldest princess of Nanmeng State. Yan Chengan and Yan Liujing were free and unrestrained, and they were still young men under the protection of Duke Yan.
It’s a pity that people are gone and things are no longer the same.
She was just a wanted person who was fleeing from her country, but Meng Xuanhe had no other choice at this time and could only give it a try, hoping that Xi Yu could remember her.
Meng Xuanhe casually wiped off the disguise on his face. Although he still looked like a dark boy, his facial features could be vaguely recognized.
She raised her hand and pulled open the curtain of the sedan chair, and looked at Xi Yu who was sitting in the sedan chair.
Xi Yu was obviously so shocked that he couldn't speak. Then he remembered something and immediately ordered someone to pick up Meng Xuan and Ying Wugui.
"Princess?" Xi Yu's uncertain voice came, and Meng Xuanhe nodded without hesitation.
She knew that she was wanted now, and her friendship with Xi Yu was only due to her saving Su Yi. Even if Xi Yu handed her over now, it would be understandable.
"Mr. Xi, how are you? Can you take us into the city?" Meng Xuanhe exchanged a few pleasantries with him and asked politely.
Seeing Meng Xuanhe's attitude now, Xi Yu was also filled with emotion.
The princess who was lawless and willful in the city of Bianjing that year now looks so helpless.
Over the past year, Xi Yu has not forgotten what happened in Bianjing City.
He and Su Yi had promised to be together for life a long time ago. If Meng Xuanhe had not rescued her back then, who knows how Su Yi would have been ruined.
So what he said in Bianjing City was not just a casual remark. Xi Yu was grateful to Meng Xuanhe from the bottom of his heart. If one day he could help in some way, he would be able to repay Meng Xuanhe's kindness.
Xi Yu agreed almost without hesitation.
"Of course. I'm sorry, Princess, you have to pretend to be my servant." Xi Yu nodded, and hope rose in Meng Xuanhe's heart again.
Xi Yu called in his servants and changed their outer clothes. Meng Xuanhe wore the coarse clothes of a maid, while Ying Wugui acted as a coachman.
The poor servant of the Xi family was driven out and returned home on his own.
When Qin Zhishi went around the city gate, Meng Xuan and Ying Wugui had already changed their clothes. Seeing that there was no one behind them, she cast a suspicious look at the only carriage here.
"Who is in the carriage?" Qin Zhishi drew his sword and gently lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Xi Yu sat in the carriage, looking into Qin Zhishi's eyes. Meng Xuanhe lowered his head and served Xi Yu, looking submissive.
"Xi family, Xi Yu." He spoke slowly, trying his best to hide his inner panic.
Meng Xuanhe seemed much more normal and was pouring tea for Xi Yu.
"It turns out to be the son of the Xi family. He has committed many crimes. But the court has issued a wanted order, and we cannot let anyone who enters the city go."
Qin Zhishi said politely to Xi Yu.
The Xi family is the head of the four major families in Yangzhou City. Although Qin Zhishi works for Li Chuan, Li Chuan has not yet sat on the throne of queen. She will definitely not be too rampant. Xi Yu still has some face in Yangzhou City.
"It's okay." Xi Yu nodded slightly, but his palms were sweaty.
Meng Xuanhe had a wanted warrant and the matter concerned the imperial court, so Xi Yu had to be very nervous.
If they offended someone in the imperial court, their Xi family would be doomed, but he also couldn't abandon the benefactor who had saved Su Yi in Bian Jing.
Although Qin Zhishi was respectful to Xi Yu on the surface, he did not let them enter the city immediately.
She walked straight to Meng Xuanhe. The little maid kept her head down, which really made her a little suspicious. Qin Zhishi stretched out his hand to lift Meng Xuanhe's cheek, forcing her to look up and look at him.
This little maid had a large dark blue birthmark on her face, which was deeply imprinted on the left half of her face. There were also many black spots on her face, which made it impossible to stay focused on her face.
Qin Zhishi subconsciously turned her face away. Her martial arts skills were not shallow, and Meng Xuanhe was deliberately avoiding her.
This blow caused Meng Xuanhe to fall to the ground, but she still said nothing. She just covered her birthmark, looking a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, my appearance frightened you, my Lord."
Meng Xuanhe deliberately lowered her voice and looked even more humble, playing the role of a little maid vividly.
Sure enough, Qin Zhishi had no way of connecting the proud princess with the humble and pleasing little maid.
She glanced at Meng Xuanhe and then got off the sedan.
Only after Qin Zhishi's consent did Xi Yu's carriage pass. Meng Xuanhe turned around and Xi Yu finally relaxed. She understood that Xi Yu was also taking a gamble in order to help her.
He even risked his own fate and the fate of the entire Xi family just to repay Meng Xuan for the favor he had done that day.
To be honest, it was Meng Xuanhe who owed him a favor.
