Hong Ying pulled the donkey cart over and walked along the path with Ye Zhen. After about half an hour, they could vaguely see a bright spot in front of them. It should be Hong Ling waiting for them. Ye Zhen and Ye Zhen walked along the path. Half an hour later, they could vaguely see a bright spot in front of them.
"Miss, there is someone in front." Hong Ying drove the donkey cart. She was a martial artist and could see more clearly in the dark.
"Pass." Ye Zhen whispered, fearing that the person in front was not Hong Ling.
Although Hong Ying's heart was full of doubts, she still did not ask a word. When they came to the intersection of the official road, she saw a young woman in a jacket standing on the side of the road with a lantern in her hand. When she saw them appear, a smile appeared on her face. "Miss, you are finally here."
Ye Zhen nodded at her. "Where are the others?"
Hong Ling helped Ye Zhen get off the donkey cart and took the bundle in her hand. "They are all waiting at the roadside teahouse. Should we hurry immediately or wait for dawn?"
"Wait for another two hours. We will set off before dawn." Ye Zhen whispered.
"Yes, miss." Hong Ling's eyes were still full of excitement. She could finally walk beside the girl again. No matter what happened in the future, she would protect the girl well.
Hong Ying on the side was shocked. She had never seen Hong Ling before. It could be seen that this maid was the girl's most valued confidant. But when did the girl have such a person around her?
Ye Zhen pointed to Hong Ying and said to Hong Ling, "This is Hong Ying, also my maid. If there is anything she doesn't understand, you can tell her slowly."
"Yes." Hong Ling raised her eyes and glanced at Hong Ying. After experiencing the betrayal of someone close to her, it was very difficult for Hong Ling to easily trust others. Since this Hong Ying girl was able to be taken away by her lady, it seemed that the lady trusted her very much.
"Well, let's go to rest first." Ye Zhen looked back at the distance. She didn't know how many days it would take for Mo Rongzhan to find out that she had left the capital. Thinking of her entanglement with him during this time, she still felt a little sad.
In this life, she probably would not fall in love with others as she fell in love with Mo Rongzhan.
"Let's go." She turned and left all the people and things in the capital out of her mind.
"Miss, this servant has something to say to you." Hong Ling walked beside Ye Zhen and said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen nodded gently and came to the roadside teahouse, only to find that it was actually a very small teahouse with a few tents next to it. Presumably, the caravan people were resting inside.
Hong Ling brought Hong Ying to the centermost tent. "Hong Ying, this is where the young lady rests. Wait here for a while."
Then, she went to the leader of the caravan and asked him to call everyone up after two hours. After everything was arranged, Hong Ling and Ye Zhen walked into the teahouse. The owner of the teahouse was not inside, only an oil lamp was shining faintly.
"Miss, there's news from the border city. Lu Lingzhi is indeed there." Hong Ling said in a low voice, "However, I heard that Lu Lingzhi is a man of few words. He doesn't talk much to anyone and hides in his room every day."
Ye Zhen sneered, "The Lu Lingzhi I know is not a person who will hide in the house. There is a kind of person in this world called a substitute. I don't believe that Lu Lingzhi is already in the border town. It must be fake."
Hong Ling asked, "Miss, what should we do? Who knows where Lu Lingzhi is hiding? "
"He will always show up." Ye Zhen said faintly, "A stray dog, he will either live a life of hiding or … go to the border town to guard the territory for the rest of his life."
Although she had not personally experienced the bitter cold days of the border town, the territory was a more remote and lonely place than the border town. What else could he do but stand on the wall and guard a barren mountain every day? Even if he had the opportunity to make meritorious service, Mo Rongzhan would probably not let him come back.
Hong Ling said bitterly, "This slave can't wait to tear him to pieces, otherwise, it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart."
If it weren't for Lu Lingzhi, her sisters who grew up with her would not have betrayed her and died a tragic death. They had been with her since childhood, and their daughter would not have been poisoned to death, let alone become an ominous person in the eyes of everyone. How many people in the capital would dare to mention Ye Zhen's name in front of others?
All of this was caused by Lu Lingzhi.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "What's so difficult about letting him die? But if he dies, won't he be completely free? What I want is for him to live, to be in a state where he can neither live nor die, that is the greatest torture. "
"But we don't even know where he is now." Hong Ling said.
"Let's go to Dongqing first to find the master and deal with Lu Lingzhi later." Anyway, he has been deposed and Mo Rongzhan no longer trusts him. Unless he goes to another emperor, he will be like this for the rest of his life.
Hong Ling nodded gently, "Unfortunately, there is no news of Uncle Man. I don't know if he has found the master."
Ye Zhen said, "At least we know that they are in Dongqing."
"Miss, what should we do with the people we sent to the border town? Should we let them return to Jinkou City first? "Hong Ling asked in a low voice.
If she guessed correctly, Lu Lingzhi stayed in the capital only to prevent Mo Rongzhan from making her the empress. Now that Ye Yaoyao has been conferred the title of Imperial Concubine Yao and the emperor has issued an edict to make her the empress, the secret guards in the palace are looking for him. With Lu Lingzhi's character, he should not stay in the capital for long.
"Stay in the border town. Once the real Lu Lingzhi is found, find a way to destroy his eyes." Ye Zhen's eyes became fierce and her voice became cold.
Hong Ling felt that it was too easy for Lu Lingzhi to just destroy his eyes. "Yes, miss."
"It's getting late. We have to hurry tomorrow. Rest first." Ye Zhen said.
Two hours passed quickly. Ye Zhen took a nap and woke up to find that everyone had already gotten up.
There were ten people in the caravan of Qianjin Line. Although they were curious about the two extra women, they did not show it. They knew that they were waiting on the official road for two days, but they did not expect it to be two little girls.
Hong Ling asked someone to bring the carriage over. This was the carriage she had specially built for Ye Zhen. It was the same as the one she used to use in the Ye family.
Ye Zhen touched the carriage that even the walls were covered with velvet. Her heart was filled with emotion. Although she could not be Ye Zhen openly now, she was gradually getting close to her former habits.
"Let's go." Looking at the dim white of dawn in the east, it would be dawn soon. This was the best time to set off.
Hong Ling said to the leader at the front, "Brother Sun, let's go."
