How can the concubine be a lady in women's clothing!

"The one in front stops!"

Chi Jin was startled. Did he call them?He rushed to the driver outside and said, "Don't stop, keep going, it's not us."

There is more than one carriage here, so it shouldn't be talking about them... Chi Jin comforted himself while praying, they have all left the city smoothly, and they are about to fly away, but they must not make mistakes at this juncture. !

Chi Jin is fine, now he is Jing Chi in men's clothing, but Xia Mian is Concubine Jin's maid, if he is recognized, it will be a failure.

Xia Mian also thought of this, and cautiously lowered her head, not daring to look around.

Seeing that they were so vigilant, Lin Yan, who didn't know the inside story, only thought that they were afraid of being seen by the enemy, so she straightened up and sat on the side near the car door, staring at the outside with a serious face, and felt that it was time for him to help .

The carriage didn't stop, and still drove out of the city without haste. The sound of kicking horseshoes sounded again, and gradually approached and moved forward. Forced to stop.

In the car, Xia Mian buried her head tightly, and Chi Jin also squeezed her palms slightly, looking at Lin Yan who was sitting sideways to him in front, with worry and encouragement in her eyes, it's up to you whether it's okay or not.

While thinking about it, a loud and upright voice came from directly in front of the carriage, and the general asked again: "Which family do you belong to? Who is in the carriage?"

The coachman was taken aback by his serious and dark face, he pulled the rein helplessly and said with a flattering smile: "We are from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we will send the young master to a temple outside the city to pray for blessings."

"Pray?"

"Yes, yes!" At this time, the officers and soldiers behind the city also rushed over to check the situation. When they heard the general's question, they were afraid that they would be mistaken for dereliction of duty, so they hurriedly explained: "My lord, this is Prime Minister Lin's house. My son, he is going to the temple outside the city to pray for Prince Gong."

The general raised his eyebrows: "Prince Gong?" Someone prayed for the god of death?You must know that they dare not even look at him.

Lin Yan also poked her head out of the car curtain at the right time, looked at the person blocking the way with a stinky face, and said, "Why, are you still not allowing me to pray? I will tell him when Xing Che comes back!"

The general sitting on the horse followed the sound, and saw that Lin Yan frowned slightly with dissatisfaction, but his eyes revealed deep worry and uneasiness, but he stubbornly raised his head and looked directly at him angrily.

In fact, the bottom of my heart is soft and fragile.

Seeing Lin Yan's immature face pretending to be angry, the general's heart softened. When he was away from home to fight, his younger brother looked at him in the same way.

Pretending to be strong makes people feel distressed.

Lin Yan's face puffed up slightly again because he was angry because he didn't speak, and she puffed her cheeks thinking she was powerful and said loudly: "What are you going to do! I'm going to pray for Xing Che and the soldiers in Jiangnan. Listen Said it was a mess."

As he talked, the worry and melancholy lingered again between his brows, and his delicate brows were slightly frowned, which turned out to be a little cute?The black-faced general showed an unskilled smile for the first time, and slowed down his voice: "You go, I won't stop you."

As he said that, he moved the horse aside, and even made a gesture of invitation in a good mood, and at the same time signaled to the driver that he could hit the horse.

Lin Yan looked at this person inexplicably. He was so fierce just now, why did he suddenly change into a smiling face?He just smiled awkwardly and looked at him strangely.

He thought about it carefully, and felt very similar to when his father saw him!

Lin Yan finally took a look at the smiling man riding a horse, and returned his bright smile, then got into the carriage, and gave Chi Jin and Xia Mian a reassuring look.

The carriage gradually drove away from the city gate, the general sat high on the horse, looking out at the luxurious carriage gradually disappearing around the corner, Lin Yan's last smile gradually overlapped with the smile of his younger brother in his mind.

Speaking of which, he stayed in the army every day, and it had been a long time since he had a proper conversation with his younger brother. Now that his younger brother has grown up and joined the army, he was among the people who went to Jiangnan this time...

Thinking of this, traces of regret and worry appeared on the general's face. He regretted that he could not see his younger brother off properly, and worried that something would happen to him in Jiangnan...

Fortunately, even if he is too busy, there are still kind-hearted people who will go to pray for the soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the son of Prime Minister Lin's family is a few years younger than ordinary people, he retains the simplicity and kindness that many people do not have.

The general sighed and rode his horse back to Yancheng. Yancheng has been very busy recently.

Autumn is passing quietly, and the wind carries the smell of early winter. It is bitingly cold, and it blows in through the gaps in the car curtains, making people shiver uncontrollably.

However, Chi Jin didn't feel the slightest coldness. At this moment, his heart was very hot, and they finally escaped completely!From then on, the sky is high and the birds are flying, the sea is wide and the fish are leaping, no matter what the emperor's year, he will go aside!

The atmosphere in the car was full of joy, Xia Mian was secretly having fun, Lin Yan was also happy for Chi Jin, he was so imposing just now, he directly scared off that fierce general, and he must show off when Xing Che comes back.

The carriage gurgled forward, and it didn't take long to come to a tea shed at a fork in the road. There was actually a carriage parked beside the tea shed. The appearance was simple and plain. A simple and honest middle-aged coachman was resting on the shaft of the carriage.

Chi Jin looked at the unremarkable carriage and asked happily, "Is this the one?"

Lin Yan nodded, helped Xia Mian take out a few packages from their carriage, and walked quickly to the empty carriageway over there: "Come here quickly!"

Chi Jin and Xia Mian followed, and the simple and honest coachman put the big burden in Lin Yan's hand into the carriage with the help of him, and then called out respectfully: "Master."

Lin Yan: "Uncle Liu, I will trouble you to send my friend this time."

The coachman named Uncle Liu smiled kindly, grinned his white teeth and said, "No, don't bother, just ask the young master if there is anything to do."

Chi Jin on the side also greeted Uncle Liu: "The junior thank you Uncle Liu. I am Lin Yan's friend, Jing Chi."

Xia Mian: "I am Xia Mian, the servant girl of Mr. Jing."

Uncle Liu waved his hand, opened the curtain for them and said, "I can't stand it, Mr. Jing, don't worry, I will definitely bring you there safely."

This is a corner of the tea shed. There are not many people drinking tea in the tea shed at this time, and they are separated by a wooden wall, so it is not conspicuous for them to change carriages here.

Chi Jin and Xia Mian got into the new carriage, and waved to Lin Yan who was reluctant to leave beside the carriage: "Go back, I will definitely come back to see you in the future."

Lin Yan reluctantly said: "Jing Chi, you have to come back early, I will miss you."

"Yes." After saying that, he put down the curtain of the car and said to Uncle Liu, "Uncle Liu, let's go, if you think about it, you shouldn't want to leave."

Yancheng, Yu An, Yu Ning, Lin Yan, and Zhuang Nian... Will we meet again?It should be. When the child grows up and takes the imperial examination, he will return to Yancheng. Maybe things are different, Zhuang Nian... The three-year agreement has passed, you find a good girl to live a good life, and I, destined to be just A hasty passerby.

He rubbed his stomach, thinking that each of them would have their own lives after many years, and he felt a little bored, but he couldn't find a breakthrough to vent. He sighed silently, lifted the side curtain with a smile, and leaned out. Turning his head to Lin Yan who was behind him, he waved far away.

At this moment, the carriage came to the side of two pedestrians on the side of the road, and the sound of their conversation inevitably reached Chi Jin's ears.

Passerby A: "Recently, Yancheng is really in chaos, and bad people can enter the palace to commit murder!"

Passer-by B sighed: "Yeah, why did you say that person set fire to the imperial concubine? Concubine Jin was favored not long ago, and she died unexpectedly like this. It's really pitiful and pathetic."

Passerby A: "Perhaps she was the one who was favored and suffered such an innocent disaster."

Passerby B thought for a while: "That's right, that person may not be able to kill the emperor, but also kill his favorite concubine, that's really vicious!"

"It's really vicious, even attacking a woman." Passerby A agreed: "Now that Yancheng is sealed, I hope that person can be caught as soon as possible."

"That's right, we were almost sealed in the city, but luckily we were one step faster..."

The carriage gradually drove away, and the voices of the two passers-by became farther and farther away and became blurred. Chi Jin returned to the carriage thoughtfully, and showed a reassuring smile after a while.

He relaxed and smiled at Xia Mian: "It's done, our plan has succeeded!"

"Really, that's really great!" Xia Mian's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and cheered.

Chi Jin also bent his eyes happily, nodded with certainty and said: "It's true, just now I heard someone say that Yancheng is now on alert, and the general who asked before came to order the closure of the city. The murderer who set fire to Concubine Jin, Concubine Jin is dead now, and we are safe."

"That's really dangerous." Xia Mian patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief: "I almost couldn't get out."

Chi Jin also felt lucky: "Yes, fortunately we moved fast."

From now on, there will be no Concubine Jin in this world. Yan Zhuangze will definitely not be able to catch the murderer if he wants to, because he directed and acted all of this, and he doesn't know that Yan Zhuangze saw his burnt bones When, what do you feel in your heart.

Is it indifference, or pity?None of this matters.

Silently making up for the unfinished apology in her heart, the big stone in Chi Jin's heart completely disappeared.

The dark blue carriage was driving on the official road, and after a short walk, it turned at a fork in the road and headed north. A small town in the north was Chi Jin's destination. It was far away from Yancheng and was located in a remote place. And far away from the uneasy south with the Qing Kingdom.

The wheels of the car made deep marks on the mud, and what greeted him next was a brand new life.

However, how does Chi Jin, who is happy for the success of the plan here, know that the fire he set did not burn for three days and three nights as imagined, but was extinguished in less than an hour. Before the burning was over, it was exposed in front of Yan Zhuangze's eyes.

The so-called pursuit of the murderer in the city is just a cover, the real purpose is to find him!As long as he was one step late or returned to Yan City without knowing it, he would be throwing himself into a trap.

In Yancheng, the pedestrians on the street were trembling, and several officers and soldiers were searching at intervals, and no pedestrians passing by were spared, it was extremely strict.

No matter where it is bright or dark, there is always the sound of wind and cranes.

The story of Concubine Jin's murder and burial in the fire has spread all over the world, and the Chi family, who were about to escape out of the city and join the people sent by Patriarch Chi to pick them up, panicked. Why did Chi Jin die suddenly?Was he really killed or was he dealt with by the emperor?

The officers and soldiers in the city wandered around. After Patriarch Chi led his troops to leave, the rest of the Chi family members were ready to move, dragging their families and looking for opportunities to leave secretly. However, the death of Chi Jin this time also gave Yan Zhuangze a focus.

While those people were watching and thinking about how to leave as soon as possible, the officers and soldiers came and detained some sneaky Chi family members as suspects, and all the remaining orphans and widows were also locked up in the Chi mansion. There is no storm, let alone escape.

Yancheng was very busy, but the atmosphere in the palace was sluggish. Everyone was nervous, for fear of angering the emperor during this critical period.

After Yan Zhuangze returned from the tunnel with his people, he sent people to quietly secure the exits at both ends of the tunnel, and no one was allowed to approach without his order.

When he got out of the tunnel, he hurried to his private prison, stopped suddenly halfway, turned back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, took out the best-preserved scroll from the scrolls, took it with him, and then went to the private prison. prison.

The private prison is the emperor's private cell, no one can enter without his order, and concubine Xian is also being locked in this private prison.

Yan Zhuangze couldn't wait to ask who the man she saw was Jing Chi.

The innermost cell in the private prison, although a little damp, with only a small window above, but at this moment, it is fully furnished with tables, beds, wardrobes and other furniture, just like an ordinary house.

Inside, concubine Xian was doing embroidery under the light from the small window. A lifelike mandarin duck appeared on the handkerchief. She put away the bloody wings of the only mandarin duck, put down her needle and thread, and Yan Zhuangze just came.

Concubine Xian looked at him with a faint smile, she couldn't tell whether it was indifference or sarcasm in her eyes, and she didn't intend to salute, she just sat there quietly.

Yan Zhuangze didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he asked directly: "You said you saw a man entering and leaving Jinyi Palace, so do you know what that man looks like?"

"Has the emperor finally believed it?" Concubine Xian immediately finished laughing, gloating and said, "It seems that sister Jinfei is coming to accompany me, I'm really happy."

Yan Zhuangze snorted coldly: "You just answer whether you know it or not!"

"Look..." Concubine Xian recalled it seriously, seemingly obediently, but she was actually thinking about what to say. She didn't see what the man looked like. She only remembered that he was dressed in ordinary clothes and had a high bun. She said it casually without evidence.

What should I say to embarrass Chi Jin and at the same time make the emperor feel angry and depressed?

She rolled her eyes and looked at Yan Zhuangze, who was actually majestic in a golden outfit, and his face was like something finely carved from the sky, and she suddenly thought about it.

She pretended to ponder a few times, and thought: "That man's hair is all tied back, he is wearing ordinary dark-colored cloth clothes, he is a head shorter than the emperor, and his figure is not as tall and mighty as the emperor. When it flew out, I just saw it vaguely."

Her hair is tied behind her head, she's wearing ordinary clothes, she's a head short, not tall enough... This description fits Jing Chi very well!

Yan Zhuangze looked at Concubine Xian suspiciously. Seeing that her expression was indifferent and did not seem to be lying, her heart sank. Concubine Xian had never seen Jing Chi before, and the features she said were different from Jing Chi's image. No two, is that person really Jing Chi?

He hesitated: "How about the front?"

"Front..." Concubine Xian looked at Yan Zhuangze's light wheat-colored complexion, which was masculine but not tacky, and without blinking, she made up: "The face is as fair as peaches and plums."

The implication is that Concubine Jin actually abandoned a dragon and phoenix among people like you and found a good-for-nothing.

Hit again!Yan Zhuangze's face turned dark, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that that person was not Jing Chi, they still had a three-year contract, and they had sworn to each other, Jing Chi didn't seem like someone who would lie.

Henceforth, Yan Zhuangze gritted his teeth secretly, and slowly took out the scroll that he had been holding tightly from behind, gently unfolded it before Concubine Xian's eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "But the person in this painting."
