Feng Yu Heng's crazy plan had finally begun. When Chou Shu took the fifty silver coins from Madam Lu and Yuan Fei watched as Feng Yu Heng was pulled away by Madam Lu, the worry in his heart could no longer be suppressed. It surged up and there was a very frightening intuition.
He had been a hidden guard for many years and his intuition was very sensitive when facing danger. Now, his intuition was telling him that Feng Yu Heng had abandoned them all and risked her life to go to the North. It was very dangerous.
He stepped forward and was about to pull Feng Yu Heng back, but Chou Shu was one step ahead of him. He lowered his voice and said, "The big picture is more important."
Yuan Fei took a few deep breaths and his mood finally calmed down a bit. But after calming down, he gave a bitter sigh. It was already very dangerous for the princess to not travel with his highness. In the end, she came up with this idea. What should he do?
At this time, Huang Quan also returned, but he did not bring Qing Le with him. She returned to Yuan Fei's side. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng was not there, she knew that she had already left. Her face was covered with a layer of anxiety, but it quickly faded. No matter what, the plan had already begun. They definitely could not drag down Feng Yu Heng at this time.
So she respectfully said to Yuan Fei, "Young master, that singer said that woman is not for sale. If young master is interested in the goods in his hands, you can exchange for another one. Only that one is not allowed?"
Yuan Fei angrily snorted. He flicked his sleeve and said, "You really think this young master can't do without her? You don't want face! Humph! "He then turned around and quickly walked away.
Huang Quan breathed a sigh of relief and carefully glanced at the road to the north. Madam Lu's family had already gotten into the carriage and left. She helplessly shook her head and quickly chased after Yuan Fei.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng was sitting in the Lu family's carriage. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She would occasionally ask Madam Lu, "Nothing will happen to our family's young madam, right? If I leave like this, young madam will definitely be sad. "
Before, magistrate Lu had been forced to get rid of that servant girl, so he didn't feel good in his heart. Although there were a few concubines in his mansion, but under the pressure of Madam Lu, the concubines were living in fear. Even if they gave birth to children, the only ones who could survive were the daughters. Then, those daughters would be sent to various families after they reached marriageable age to become concubines. Usually, he would only be able to spend three days a month in the concubines' rooms. As for the four concubines, he wouldn't even be able to spend time with them once a month.
Moreover, wasn't there a saying that a wife was inferior to a concubine, and a concubine was inferior to a mistress. Of course, a mistress was better off not being able to steal. That servant girl was in the position of a thief. Adding on the fact that she was bold and dared to pull magistrate Lu while madam Lu was asleep, her position in magistrate Lu's heart was different.
It would be very difficult to meet such a special maid again! When magistrate Lu thought of this, the hatred in his heart grew even greater. However, he didn't dare to vent this hatred on madam. Instead, he vented his anger on Feng Yu Heng, who had replaced that servant girl.
Feng Yu Heng's words didn't wait for madam Lu's reply, but it caused magistrate Lu to fly into a rage. He suddenly roared: "You heartless little brat! Who is your family's young madam? You're already a slave that has been bought by us, yet you still insist that someone else is your master. What use do we have for this kind of slave? "
Feng Yu Heng was so scared that she curled into a ball, but she coldly snorted in her heart. For the sake of acting, she had said that Yuan Fei was a temperamental person who lusted after women. However, she didn't know that the real temperamental person who lusted after women was actually magistrate Lu. Seeing his honest appearance that day in Yuan Fei's private room, she didn't think that he would flip out faster than flipping through a book.
However, he could only roar a few times. He couldn't really do anything. With madam Lu sitting here, even if he spoke quickly, magistrate Lu could only stop here.
Madam Lu looked at him with a gloomy face and coldly snorted: "What, now that I have a silly little girl by my side, you can't do anything to her? You're not as good as that cheap girl from before, right? Lu Zhengtian, let me tell you, if you want to sit in the position of Qing Zhou's Zhizhou, you have to rely on my Duan Mu family. Otherwise, don't even think about it with your little bit of connections. "
Once the position of Qing Zhou's Zhizhou was mentioned, magistrate Lu immediately withered. The position that he had wanted for a long time could only be obtained by relying on the Duan Mu family. Otherwise, how could he have never succeeded after operating in the dark for so many years?
Seeing that Lu Zhengtian didn't say anything, madam Lu rolled her eyes at him. Then she reached out to lightly pat Feng Yu Heng, lowering her voice: "Don't be afraid, he's just a paper tiger. He can only scare people, but he doesn't have any other abilities. In the past, you worked in the right prime minister's manor, and that young master had that sort of temper. Thinking about it, you must have seen this sort of scene many times. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded and agreed, saying: "Lord Lu and madam Lu are already very good people. The previous young master really was …" Once she mentioned the young master, her eyes became red, and madam Lu coaxed her once more.
But coaxing was coaxing, and she did not forget her goal in buying this girl. From time to time, she would ask about the matters of the right prime minister's manor. Feng Yu Heng would randomly spout some nonsense and change the topic to the right prime minister and left prime minister Feng Jin Yuan. In the end, Feng Jin Yuan had been demoted from his position. At the same time, she gave herself a new name, Qian Xi.
The three people in the carriage all had their own thoughts, as they quickly headed North. Wang Chuan and the others that remained in Qing Zhou were anxious, but they did not dare give chase. After all, the Lu family could be considered a local tyrant. In addition to this, madam Lu had the blood of the Duan Mu family. They had suddenly bought a young slave and caused such a large commotion. It was certain that it would attract the attention of some people. Perhaps there were already people that wanted to investigate following them. If they continued to move, it would be too dangerous.
Wang Chuan's group was trapped in Qing Zhou. It would take at least a few days before they could change their appearances and continue on their way. At this time, Xuan Tianming's group was still traveling through the mountains. Bai Fu Rong's riding skills had improved quite a bit over the past few days, but it was still awkward. She was not as comfortable as Feng Yu Heng.
Bai Ze and Xuan Tianming protected her in the middle. On the surface, it was to protect her, but in reality, it was to keep an eye on her. Bai Fu Rong naturally did not know what was going on. She focused on controlling the horse, fearing that the horse would go crazy and cause her to fall off the mountain.
Bai Ze saw how nervous she was and could not help but say: "If you knew earlier that this day would come, you would have learned how to ride a horse beforehand."
"Hm?" Bai Fu Rong was startled, not understanding what Bai Ze meant: "How did I know that this day would come?" She glared at him, "I just managed to make it in time. I forced myself to do it. Otherwise, why would a craftsman's daughter like me need to learn how to ride a horse for nothing?"
Bai Ze smirked, "It's true that you're a craftsman's daughter, but none of the good friends you have are simple. Aside from the Feng family's daughter, tell me, whether it's Princess Wu Yang or General Ping Nan's daughter, plus our princess, which one of them is not a fierce general? You should have prepared yourself for this by hanging out with them. Something like riding a horse is something that you will need to do sooner or later. "
"Tsk." Bai Fu Rong rolled her eyes at him, "Being able to make these friends is my father's ability, but who said that I must know what my friends know? Go ask Fung Tian Yu. Ask her if she knows how to ride a horse? "
When Bai Fu Rong spoke up against Bai Ze, she did not say a single word, causing him to fall to the ground. Bai Ze rubbed his nose and thought to himself that sure enough, there was not a single person at the princess' side that did not have a sharp tongue. But Bai Fu Rong, oh Bai Fu Rong, I really want to see how many more days you can keep up this pretense.
The army traveled through the mountains for another five days before finally circling around Qing Zhou. But the army could not travel on the official road. What awaited them ahead was another round of travel into the mountains.
On this day, Bai Ze delivered a secret letter to Xuan Tianming. It was sealed with wax, and the word "Chuan" was written on the outside. They knew that the letter had been sent by Wang Chuan.
Xuan Tianming opened the letter and could not help but feel shocked. Bai Ze did not understand why his master would have such an expression. Surprised, he also looked at the letter. Looking at it was fine, but he was so scared that he nearly collapsed.
"This, this, this, this …" That girl was a little too bold, right?
Xuan Tianming clenched the hand that held the letter into a fist. The letter was crumpled into a ball in his hand, and a cracking sound could be heard from his fingers.
Feng Yu Heng, what exactly do you want to do! Xuan Tianming looked up at the sky and used a great deal of effort to stop himself from chasing after her. At this moment, his thoughts were exactly the same as Bai Ze's. That damn girl's courage was so great that there were times when he felt that he would not be able to control himself.
But things had already come to this point and could not be changed. He threw the crumpled letter into the fire and quietly ordered Bai Ze: "Send someone to investigate. Just pay attention to whether or not there are any suspicious people following behind the Lu family. You must ensure the imperial daughter's safety."
Bai Ze nodded and immediately went to arrange it.
After another five days, news came back. Bai Ze told Xuan Tianming: "Aside from Wang Chuan's group continuing North, there were no suspicious people found." He paused for a moment then continued: "It's not just the Lu family that did not send anyone to chase after them. Wang Chuan's group also did not send anyone. Thinking about it, those people went back to the capital to search."
He recalled the conversation between Bai Fu Rong and the person in black clothes that he had overheard that night. But that was because he had been giving Bai Fu Rong a good attitude these days. Otherwise, once Bai Fu Rong revealed Feng Yu Heng's whereabouts, he would definitely have immediately taken action to beat her to death.
Xuan Tianming heard this and was not surprised. Turning to the side, he squinted his eyes and looked towards the tent that Bai Fu Rong was sleeping in. Ever since he was young, he had never had any complaints about being born into the imperial family. To him, whether he was a prince or a commoner, they were all alive. Being a prince was nothing more than taking on more responsibilities and fighting more battles. Moreover, this was his ambition to begin with, so he was quite content.
However, these expeditions were completely different. There was a woman in his life, and that woman had almost the same personality and hobbies as him. When it came to war, that damned girl would jump a foot high. She was even happier than him. At first, he had some expectations for the two of them going to the battlefield together. He had even thought about it. He would definitely protect her on the battlefield. No matter what, he could not allow her to be hurt in the slightest.
But who knew that before they even left the military camp, that damn girl wanted to go first. She also used countless reasons to convince him. He knew that those reasons were all correct, so he let her go first. But now, that damn girl had even shaken off her maidservants and hidden guards. Did she know that the army was slow to begin with? Going North, it would take at least four months. During these four months, how worried would he be?
From the autumn wind blowing away the fallen leaves to the bone-chilling cold. Slowly, snow filled the sky.
Two months had passed ….
