Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run
Chapter 43 The Pain of Farewell
Luo Yu patted Qin Bingrui's head. He knew that he felt sorry for Xia Liang, but why didn't he think about Xia Liang not having anything to eat when he was distributing the meat?
Before setting off, Luo Lu went to the bamboo forest to find Xia Liang to explain the plan. Xia Liang nodded in agreement and distributed the more than ten pounds of meat that Luo Lu brought to the puppies, and said goodbye to them one by one.
When they heard the separation, the puppies all looked depressed and didn't even feel the meat was delicious.
Qin Bingrui couldn't bear to see the pain of separation, of course, he and Ning Wang Zhu Jinyou were a different story.
In order to prevent Sister Chunhua and her family from crying, Luo Yu and Qin Bingrui drove away in a carriage in the middle of the night. In just a few days, she felt the warmth and coldness of human nature. This dynasty did not seem to have so many difficulties and obstacles. The emotions between people were complicated in themselves, but they were easy to accept new things and were more willing to learn. There was always hope.
Along the way, Luo Yu was silent.
Qin Bingrui walked side by side with her, trying to say something to Sister Luo Yu to help her distract herself from the sadness of separation.
"Sister, I have hundreds of thousands of silver notes on me now. You can spend whatever you want on food and buy it. Don't worry about saving."
Luo Yu smiled calmly upon hearing this: "If we really intend to leave this dynasty, we can't waste so much money, right?"
"What are you going to do, sister?"
“Let the money be spent where it should be spent.”
"Sis, you're so thin, a few centimeters shorter than me, and you don't even weigh half as much as I do. Spending money on you is the right thing to do."
"My body gave birth to a child before I came, and it died in childbirth."
"What? Oh my god!" Luo Yu's sister was actually a married woman, which made him unable to look at her directly.
However, she gave birth to the child in the palace, so her identity is actually a concubine?
Luo Yu knew what he was thinking and gave a wry smile: "She was originally a palace maid, and she was promoted to Noble Lady Ying after she became pregnant. Isn't that ridiculous?"
"Hmm, so my sister didn't have household registration certificate after escaping, right?" Qin Bingrui thought thoughtfully, "Then our next step is to find a way to get this household registration identity."
"Bingrui, there's the faint sound of horse hooves behind us. I'm afraid the secret guards sent by the prince are following us. We need to be more careful with our words."
Qin Bingrui nodded. Sister Luo Yu’s identity was really difficult to deal with. If the palace found out that she was not dead but had escaped, wouldn’t that cause more trouble?
As he thought, the harem was indeed in turmoil for a while.
Xiao Tao originally wanted to find a palace maid who had died in an accident to replace Concubine Ying, but she couldn't find a suitable body except for a young eunuch who accidentally fell into a well and died.
Several palace servants and maids who were on good terms with Xiaotao thought that the person who fell into the well was swollen all over and the body was decaying quickly. If one did not look carefully, it would be impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
So they boldly tried to use the body of the eunuch to pretend that it was Concubine Ying who committed suicide by jumping into the well.
Unfortunately, the Queen sent a coroner to perform an autopsy, and they discovered that the body belonged to a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. The Queen was so angry that she slammed the table and wanted to order her eunuchs to drag Xiao Tao out and beat him until he died.
Xiao Tao thought of what Concubine Ying had said and burst into tears. She knelt on the ground and tried to argue for herself: "Empress, please spare my life. I went to the imperial kitchen to get food and came back to find Concubine Ying missing. She only left a letter on the table. Although I can't read many words, I know the word 'suicide'. I was afraid of being blamed by the Empress, so I dragged several eunuchs and palace maids to help me find Concubine Ying. We searched for more than three days before we found a corpse in a remote abandoned well. It was bloated beyond recognition. Although the clothes were those of a eunuch, we thought that Concubine Ying might have changed into the clothes of a eunuch for the convenience of traveling.
Although I deserve to die, I really don't know whether the person who jumped into the well was a man or a woman. In addition, Concubine Ying has been missing for some time. I am afraid of being blamed and can only report to the Empress that Concubine Ying committed suicide.
As he said this, he quickly took out the folded rice paper from his sleeve and handed the letter left by Concubine Ying to the Empress.
When the queen opened it, she saw that it was indeed the handwriting of that bitch. She didn't expect that she had really figured it out and was ready to die.
Apart from taking care of Concubine Ying, Xiao Tao knew nothing about other things. In addition, she was a third-class maid beside the Queen. In the end, the Queen took pity on her and let her receive fifty lashes of the cane, sparing her life.
Although Xiao Tao was in pain, she couldn't help crying for joy when she thought that Concubine Ying might have regained her freedom. Others just thought that she was crying out of pain.
The Queen did not give up and ordered her people to search for the white tiger in the Hengling Mountains behind the palace. Only then did she know that the white tiger had also escaped into the mountains and forests. She originally thought that Concubine Ying would be eaten by the beast sooner or later. She asked her people not to alarm the people in the Imperial City Bureau for fear that the Emperor would find anything unusual.
But after several days, the White Tiger was not found, and the body of Concubine Ying was not found either. However, it was heard that the White Tiger was hiding in the city and escaped from the city with a person who was not sure whether he was dead or alive.
The Empress began to wonder if this so-called living dead was Concubine Ying disguised as a man. Why didn't the White Tiger bite the person to death and then devour them, instead of taking them out of the palace?
Everything made her suspicious, but she could not explain the mystery to the emperor. She could only send the top secret guards trained by her father to follow Baihu, and it would be best if they could find Concubine Ying herself, either alive or dead.
The Queen's secret guards followed out and found that Baihu had lost the person, but they could not find the body anywhere. Helplessly, one of them went back to report, and the other three continued to track Baihu.
But the Imperial City Division was also taking action, so it was even more difficult for them to look for the White Tiger openly, and the best opportunity was missed by accident.
If Qin Luohong and Qin Bingrui knew that there were three groups of people looking for them, I wonder how proud they would be. This is the halo of the protagonist, the absolute halo of the protagonist.
The two drove the carriage at a high speed overnight, followed by Ning Wang's secret guards, led by Feiying. He never expected that the two women drove the carriage so majestically, steadily and quickly, which was definitely not an ordinary skill.
It is unexpected that a woman living in a small village has such skills. Feiying believes what the prince said. These two people are extraordinary. They must follow them all the way and report in time.
This was really tough for Xia Liang. She hadn't exercised for many days and was out of breath after running for less than a quarter of an hour. She also had to find ways to avoid being discovered by the secret guards and to guard against pedestrians who were traveling all night. Fortunately, there was only one official road, so Xia Liang took a short rest and continued to chase along the road.
After two days and two nights, she finally saw the mountains and forests ahead with blurry eyes. This should be the place where Sister Luo Yu and Brother Bing Rui will pick her up to set off together, right?
She excitedly went into the forest, thinking she could have a good rest. Just as she was waiting for Sister Luo Yu and Brother Bing Rui to bring her some delicious food, a weak voice sounded from behind.
"Boss, are you really abandoning us?"
The light outside danced freely in the forest through the dense leaves. A disheveled-looking, dirty-haired stooge stood in front of Xia Liang with its back to the light, looking like a big wolf.
"You little bastard, how did you catch up with me?"
After Xia Liang finished speaking, she felt her eyes moist. Looking at the lackey's embarrassed look, it must have been very difficult for him to chase her.
People are worldly-wise, but animals are not. Once they decide on someone, they will never leave them.
"The other puppies came after us, but they were exhausted. Some gave up along the way, and a few were captured. I was the only one who caught up with them."
Xia Liang walked towards the lackey and almost patted his head with his paw. Fortunately, he heard Luo Yu's voice: "Why is the lackey here too?"
Xia Liang put down his paw and smiled bitterly: "They all followed, but the other puppies are all gone."
After saying this, she suddenly burst into tears.
The lackey looked confused. It wasn't dead, so why was Big Brother White Tiger crying?
Although Luo Yu was touched, he calmed down and knocked on Xia Liang's head.
"Shut up! Are you afraid that no one can hear your screams and howls? We finally managed to shake off those secret guards. Don't attract more trouble."
"My roars are like the howls of tigers and dragons, how can they be the cries of ghosts and wolves?"
Luo Yu sighed, took out the meat that was stored in a special wooden freezer (with a hollow partition at the bottom for ice cubes), and grilled it, and invited his lackey to enjoy it together.
The lackey drooled as he watched Luo Yu skillfully grilling the meat, but being sensible, he tried not to be moved. He just stared at the meat for a while and then secretly looked at Luo Yu.
There were so many things it didn't understand, but at this moment it decided to please Luo Yu and let her take it with her.
So when Luo Yu fed it meat, it rubbed its head in the crook of Luo Yu's arm, looking both unfamiliar and pitiful.
Luo Yu grabbed its head and sniffed it, then covered his nose and said, "This is too ugly. I have to take you two to take a bath later. Bingrui bought a lot of soap (ancient soap). I have to scrub you clean before you can get in the carriage."
Xia Liang was surprised and asked: "Sister, have you decided to take the lackey away?"
"What else can we do if we don't take it with us? Once we leave, it will probably chase the carriage again. If the secret guards find it, it will be even more troublesome."
"But they will find me sooner or later if I get on the carriage."
"It's okay. In half a month, if the people from the Imperial City Division don't catch up, we can let those secret guards do whatever they want. I'm sure the prince won't attack us so easily."
"Okay, it would be better if I had a proper ceremony to participate in."
Luo Yu snorted. "I won't officially join you, but I can let Qin Bingrui capture you and take you on the road. What do you think?"
This way, even if it arouses the suspicion of the secret guards, they will not think that they have been in the same group from the beginning.
Say action and act.
However, he still had to take these two divine creatures to take a bath first. In the past, he only had to serve the white tiger, but now he had to add a big wolfhound. Luo Yu felt tired mentally and physically.
She has only been out of confinement for more than a month!
Xia Liang was very happy. He was playing and having fun with his lackey in a ditch deep in the mountains. He was having a great time.
Luo Yu sat on the shore, watching them bathe carefree, with a smile on his face.
Qin Bingrui settled the carriage and only told Luo Yu and Xia Liang about his plan after he saw them coming down the mountain.
They asked Xia Liang and his lackeys to pretend to be a gang to rob them, but they were eventually captured and locked in a carriage and taken away.
The plan is perfect, but it seems unreasonable to some people.
Who would take a white tiger and a lackey on the road?
The key point is that the direction they are heading is completely opposite to the direction of the imperial city.
