Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

Chapter 21: Escaping from Marriage and Meeting Xiao Shuai

I spent four days quietly, and there were only three days left to the wedding. I planned to run away the day before the wedding so that they would have no time to look for me and no time to postpone the wedding. It would be best if I could just find someone to be my bride, I would be happier!

The prince came to see me several times in the past few days. He thought I seemed no different from before, which was a bit strange, but he didn’t know what was strange. The King of Qin also couldn’t guess what I was thinking.

On the evening of the sixth day

Time's up! These past few days I've been wearing men's clothes and going out every day, so today when everyone saw me wearing men's clothes and going out again, they didn't think it was strange and didn't stop me. It's just that the King of Qin told me not to come back too late, after all, tomorrow is the day of my wedding. Since they couldn't think of a good way to prevent me from getting married, they had to let me do it. In fact, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin were not happy either!

I didn't have any baggage in my hands. I just hid the silver and banknotes on my body. The sleeves of ancient people were very big, which made it convenient for me to escape.

I walked out of the palace smoothly, but I didn't know that every time I left the palace, someone from the Jin Palace followed me. I picked up the tent and flashlight that I had just thrown out of the palace and walked to a place where we had agreed to meet yesterday to wait for someone.

"Sir, the horse you asked for is here." A horse dealer came over leading a horse.

"Is it docile?" I walked over and touched the horse's nose with my hand.

"It's a good and docile horse...@@¥%...@" The horse dealer began to brag about himself.

"Alright, alright! Here's the money." I stuffed the money into the man's hand, jumped on his horse, carried my tent on his back and ran away.

I don't know how long I walked, but I left with a tent and a flashlight so that I could set up the tent and sleep if I couldn't find the inn.

Prince Jin's Mansion

"What did you say? She's leaving the city? The wedding is tomorrow, and there will be a lot of things to do starting tonight. Why is she leaving the city at this time?" The King of Jin looked gloomy.

"To answer my question, Miss Xia was carrying a bag when she left. It looks like...it looks like..." Seeing that person hesitating, King Jin was a little impatient. "What does it look like? Tell me!"

"I think Miss Xia wants to escape from marriage..." His voice became quieter as he spoke.

"Escape from marriage? She dares?!" Prince Jin suddenly stood up from the chair he was sitting on, scaring everyone in the hall, because tomorrow is the wedding day, and Prince Jin's mansion will be bustling all night, with busy figures everywhere.

Escape from marriage, will it happen? Yes! The answer is quite affirmative.

Although he had only met her three times, he knew in his heart that she was a woman with a strange temper and a courageous attitude. When King Jin thought of this, he sat back in his chair like a deflated balloon.

"I have asked the others to follow, what do you think?" The man's voice was trembling. It was such a blessing to marry the Prince of Jin. He really didn't understand why Miss Xia wanted to escape.

"Let's go!" King Jin thought angrily, since I want to marry you, you have to marry me, you can't run away! He left the palace directly, rode his horse and rushed out of the city gate.

At this time, the King of Qin also knew that his bride-to-be had escaped. He was afraid that something might happen to her and that the King of Jin would find out and put her in danger. So he sent all the people in the palace out to look for her, but they dared not make it too public. After all, a princess-to-be escaping from marriage was unheard of in the Lufeng Dynasty, not even in previous dynasties or even in later dynasties. What's more, the man she was marrying was a Shura-like figure. Although they were brothers and had a good relationship, he and the prince had never been sure of the King of Jin's thoughts. If Xia Mu was found by him first, the consequences would be hard to imagine.

It’s so dark. Where is this? I took the small path directly after leaving the city gate. I didn’t dare to take the official road. But if I knew that there would not even be ghosts on this small path at night, I would still choose to take the official road. I am naturally afraid of the dark, and now I feel even more scared.

"Isn't this Xiao Mu?"

Σ┗(@ロ@;)┛

Ghost! There are people in this place who know my nickname, if it’s not a ghost, then what is it? ! !

I was frightened and fell off the horse. Just when I suspected that my butt might be broken into sixteen pieces, I found a pair of hands pulling me up tightly, and I saw clearly who was coming!

"Hey! It's you, Xiaoshuai?" I was suddenly so happy. Just when I was so scared, this handsome guy fell from the sky!

After I stood firmly, I happily hugged Xiaoshuai who got off the horse.

Xiao Shuai's body was stiff for a few seconds. This girl was really something. Men and women should not be intimate with each other, so why did she hug anyone she saw? But luckily it was him that was hugged, so he immediately became gentle, almost forgetting that this was his runaway bride.

"Xiao Mu, what are you doing here?"

"I want to run away!" I quickly covered my mouth.

"Run away? Why?" King Jin frowned habitually.

"Nothing, nothing..." Are you kidding? I can't say it.

"Since Xiao Mu won't tell me, I'll leave then?" King Jin was sure that I wouldn't dare to stay here alone.

I thought about it for a minute and decided to tell him. Maybe he could help me, but I wasn't sure if he dared to offend the royal family to help me escape.

We found a rock by the road and sat down. I asked him carefully:

"I will only tell you if you promise me to keep it a secret."

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret!"

"Hmm? You answered so readily. Did you sell me out for the reward after hearing my secret?" I was a little skeptical.

"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm leaving!" Xiao Shuai pretended to stand up

"Okay! Okay!! I said it!" I held Xiao Shuai's hand. It was so warm. His hand was not as cold as his expression.

The moment the hand of the Prince of Jin was held, he felt a warm current rushing up from his heart to his head. Yes, no matter what her reason for running away from marriage is, I will let her marry into the Prince of Jin's mansion smoothly tomorrow. The damn corner of his mouth was raised again, but it was too dark to see clearly. Otherwise, with this expression, the bride who ran away from marriage would never dare to say it even if she died.

"Come on, pinky promise!" I stretched out the little finger of my right hand.

"What is this?" King Jin was puzzled.

"It's like high-fiving or something like that!" I explained patiently.

"Oh! Okay." After saying that, Prince Jin also stretched out the little finger of his right hand. This little girl has quite a lot of new things.

"We make a promise and never change it for a hundred years!" I shouted very loudly, attracting the attention of other guards.

This is a trick to deceive children in modern times, but it is also very useful in the ancient times when people valued honesty, hehe~

So I told her that I lived in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and that the Crown Princess misunderstood me because I had a good relationship with the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qin, and then pushed me to the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Jin, and then how I was going to have a fake marriage with the Prince of Qin. Except for the modern identities of the three people, I basically told her everything. If I had revealed my modern identities, this ancient handsome guy would have been scared to death. What a pity!
