Chapter 286 Foolproof
Chapter 286 Foolproof
The secret guard was a little hesitant, but when he thought about the prince's style, he knew that it would be useless no matter what he said, so he could only bow and nod.
"Yes!"
After saying that, all the secret guards immediately led the people down from the entrance of the well one by one.
Lu Wanjun and the others still left first. A'mo was responsible for protecting their safety, so he had to go down first. Su Lanyin volunteered to stay with Fu Wuyang and go into the city to see if there were any people who were left behind.
Time was urgent, so the two men split up, one to the southeast and the other to the northwest, and both scanned the area as quickly as possible.
When they rushed back, the fire had already engulfed the entire city.
Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang quickly jumped into the well, and then fled out of the city through the secret passage.
……
At the foot of Cuiling Mountain.
This place is fifty miles away from Mo City, and the people have all fled after coming out.
A'mo also followed Su Lanyin's instructions and immediately took Lu Wanjun and others to find a place to buy a car and hurried on the road.
After all, after the fire was extinguished, Su Lanxin would definitely look for their bodies in Mo City. If she found that the city was empty, she would send assassins to hunt them down again.
Su Lanyin tore her skirt into strips and hung it on a tree branch at the foot of the mountain.
Fu Wuyang asked: "What are you doing?"
She said hurriedly, "Your Highness, I asked A'mo and the others to take the official road, so I wanted to buy them some time to reach Shengjing safely. I took the small road when I came here, so I deliberately left some clues for Su Lanxin to hunt me down. It's better for me to escape alone than for everyone to be worried. Your Highness, please leave quickly, I can do it myself."
Fu Wuyang just thought it was ridiculous: "Do you think you can escape from Fu Mingheng's assassins by yourself? Do you know that those people's Qinggong is practiced for hunting and killing? Even if you fly fast, they can catch up with you within a day!"
"I can hide, and it's easier for me to hide when I'm alone."
"Do you take them for fools?"
"Anyway, time is running out, this is all I can do!"
After saying that, Su Lanyin ignored his obstruction, turned around and walked towards the mountain road resolutely.
Fu Wuyang was very angry, but still worried, so he immediately followed.
He grabbed Su Lanyin's arm and said unhappily, "Follow me!"
"Your Majesty..."
Before she could react, Fu Wuyang had already held her horizontally in his arms. Instead of heading towards Shengjing, they headed south.
The man's embrace was extremely broad and warm, and his hands were large and firm, tightly holding her waist, making her feel inexplicably at ease, so she subconsciously reached out and put her arms around his neck.
As the soft forearms clasped his shoulders, the man's breathing stagnated for a moment, and then his body became a little unstable, but he quickly adjusted himself.
He looked straight ahead and stepped carefully on the branches to jump over one obstacle after another, and finally landed in a safe place.
The journey was not far, but both of them had their hearts pounding and were breathing nervously.
Su Lanyin felt her cheeks burning, as if she had been drugged in her previous life, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Fu Wuyang looked at her without hesitation, and noticed the blush on the tip of her ear, which made him feel a little confused.
He coughed lightly and felt that his strength to speak was reduced a little. He didn't know whether it was because he was tired or panicked.
"There is a tea stall ahead. Buy two horses and we will go to Qicheng."
"What are you doing there?"
"The eldest son of the Kang family, the richest family in Qicheng, is a good friend of this king. We can disguise ourselves and follow the Kang family's convoy to Shengjing. This way, we will be safe."
"I see. Your Majesty is very thoughtful. But how can horses be sold at that tea stall?"
"As long as you have money, you can buy anything. As the granddaughter of the richest man, don't you know that?"
This question left Su Lanyin speechless.
Yes, money makes the world go round. How could she forget this truth?
Maybe it was because she had been so miserable during her recent escape that she felt shabby.
"You are right. I am thirsty. Let me have some tea. Your Majesty will treat me."
After saying that, Su Lanyin winked at him, turned around and ran towards the tea stall, but unexpectedly a carriage came speeding towards them.
Just as he was about to hit her, Fu Wuyang immediately reached out and pulled her into his arms.
The carriage drove away, leaving behind only dust along the way and the coachman's angry curses at her for being short-sighted.
Su Lanyin was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She quickly stood up from his arms and said with a red face: "Thank you, thank you..."
After saying that, he turned around to make sure there were no cars on either side, then hurried towards the tea stall.
The two men originally wanted to buy two horses from passers-by, but after waiting for a long time, there was only one, so they had to ride together.
……
Three days later.
Qicheng.
Finally arriving at the gate of Kang Mansion, Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang were both covered in dust.
The servant at the door looked them up and down with contempt in his eyes.
"Where did the refugees come from? Get out of here right now and don't dirty the door of my house."
They were driven away before they could even open their mouths. For a moment, both of them were speechless.
For three days, I was afraid of being caught by the assassin, so I didn't change my clothes or wash my face, but I didn't expect that I would be treated as a refugee.
Although Fu Wuyang is a prince, he is well-educated to the core and it would be difficult for him to argue with a servant. Moreover, ignorance is not a crime, so he does not intend to pursue the matter.
So he stepped forward and said, "I'm looking for your eldest son. Can you please let him know?"
I thought the boy would go in and report immediately after hearing it, but I didn't expect him to burst into laughter with mockery in his eyes.
"Just you? You are a refugee, are you worthy enough to see my eldest son? Get lost! Our Kang family is rich, but we won't take in any beggar!"
The servant not only cursed but also picked up the broom beside him to drive Fu Wuyang away, forcing the noble prince to retreat several steps with a look of astonishment on his face.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you do this..."
"Return to me? You're killing me. Get out of here right now. You must be a lunatic!"
The servant disagreed and looked down on him.
Fu Wuyang was frustrated and his face turned blue with anger. Su Lanyin couldn't help but sneer when she saw this.
"puff……"
Hearing the laughter, he turned around and glared at her, asking unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"
Su Lanyin crossed her arms and said with disdain: "Your Majesty, it would be strange if a servant would believe you if you told him this."
"Why don't you believe it?"
"The world is not peaceful now, and there are refugees everywhere. The Kang family is a big family with a lot of wealth, so there will always be people coming to seek refuge. They can't invite everyone into the mansion, so they can only find a powerful servant to drive them away."
After hearing her say this, Fu Wuyang seemed to understand something.
"Then how do I get in? Do you want me to show you my token?"
"Don't do that. If you are discovered by the assassin, won't you get into trouble again? I advise you not to reveal your identity."
"You make a very reasonable point, so why don't you do it!"
"Go ahead, just watch."
Su Lanyin walked forward confidently and waved to the servant.
