lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the East Palace!

I hugged her again and found that her chest was bulging. It hurt me. I didn't know what it was. When I took it out, it turned out to be a pack of golden leaves. Yongniang's eyeballs were still looking at me. Her eyes slowly glowed, and she blinked at me. My nose was sour, and she suddenly understood that she was waiting for me here.

This bag of golden leaves is also what she intends to give me.

I don’t know what to say. She always forced me to endorse, forced me to learn the rules, forced me to do this and that, and forced me to please Li Chengyin...

So when preparing for the escape plan, I used to be very careful about her.

Unexpectedly, she had noticed it a long time ago, but did not report to Li Chengyin. If she really told Li Chengyin, we would never be able to leave.

In this East Palace, there are people who treat me sincerely.

Adu tugged at my sleeves. I knew that there was more danger of being discovered by leaving a moment longer. With tears in my eyes, I firmly hugged Yongniang again, then pulled A'du and walked out the small door quietly.

This door is reserved for handymen to enter and exit. There is an alley outside the door. We traversed the alleys, passed many houses, and traversed the various squares of the East City, and then we only drilled until the sky was getting dimly lit. Entered Miró's wine shop.

Miro is waiting for us. She told us in a low voice: "The gate to the west must be checked closely, I'm afraid it will not be easy to get out. Today, a team of Korean ginseng merchants are going out of the city. They were going northeast. I bought the leader. Participate in the business, you will follow them out of the city. Those Koreans are short in stature, and you will not be suspicious if you are in the middle." She had prepared Korean clothes, hats and beards, and Adu and I dressed up Get up, change into Korean clothes, stick on beards, and finally put on Korean hats, and take a photo in front of the bronze mirror. They are two small Korean businessmen.

At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, the street market was gradually moving, and the inn was also lively. The shop next door opened the plank, the lady boss was brushing her teeth with Yang Zhi, and the fat boss yawned and talked to Milo. Those Koreans also came downstairs, speaking the Korean dialect that was fast and tongue-twisting. Ever since Xiaoqi General Pei Kuang pacified Goryeo, Zhongyuan and Goryeo traded frequently. After all, businessmen sought profit, and Zhongyuan had so many good things that Koreans could not live without.

We ate pancakes and made breakfast with Korean merchants, then packed up and got ready to go on the road. This team of Goryeo merchants has a team of hundreds of horses. They sold ginseng and medicinal materials from Goryeo, and then sold silk tea from Shangjing to Goryeo. The horse team waited for loading in the yard, and boxes of goods were humped on horseback. The brass bells hanging around the horses' necks screamed...caught in the noisy Korean language, lively and noisy.

Adu and I each rode a horse, entangled in the horse team of Korean merchants, and followed them out of the city. Sure enough, the city gate was checked very strictly. Someone told us that the escaped prisoner was missing in the city. Therefore, the nine gates have been tightened up. The most stringent is of course the city gate to the west. It is said that people who leave the west gate today were searched one by one. The slightly suspicious person was detained and sent to Jingzhao Yin Yamen. Adu and I have ghosts in their hearts. The so-called escaped criminals refer to me and Adu.

Because everyone has to interrogate, the line waiting for interrogation at the gate of the city gets longer and longer, and I waited anxiously. It was finally our turn. The captain who defended the city carefully checked the customs clearance, counted our number, and then frowned: "How come there are two more people?"

The leader of the Goryeo made a gesture for a long time, sandwiching a half-baked Central Plains dialect, so that the guards of the city gate understood that they met two companions in their hometown in Shangjing. They were detained in Shangjing before the war. The war is calm, so I plan to go back together.

The humanity: "No, there are 14 people in the essay, so there can only be 14 people, and there can be no more."

Suddenly, I had an idea, pointed at myself and Adu, and learned the harsh accent of the Central Plains dialect of the Koreans: "We two, stay. They go."

The captain looked at us for a moment, then thought about it, and returned Wen Di to the leader, then pointed to the other two Koreans behind us, and said, "The two of them, stay. You can go. ."

The leader of the Goryeo businessman was anxious, and gestured to intercede with the man, and if he wanted to leave, we would go together. I also helped plead. The man was so dizzy by our weird Zhongyuan Mandarin: "No more Leave Smecta as soon as you leave!"

We still looked unwilling to give up, talking around the man, and the waiting line grew longer and longer, and more people became impatient and shouted. Originally, the Celestial dynasty had fought with Goryeo for many years, and the people of the Central Plains were quite scornful to the Koreans. Now they are even more cynic, saying that the Koreans are the most uproar and unruly.

Those Korean businessmen were flushed with anger and wanted to punch and fight. The lieutenant watched these people about to fight, fearing that something big would happen, and even more so that there would be more and more people blocking here, so he waved his hand quickly: "Just the two Koreans I mentioned just now are not allowed to leave the city, the others Boom out!"

A group of us leading the horse team was blasted out of the city gate, and the two Korean businessmen were helplessly left in the city. I felt so guilty, but the leader quietly pulled my sleeves and stretched out his hand towards me.

I didn't understand what he meant, so the team leader twisted his beard and laughed, and said in the unfamiliar Zhongyuan dialect: "Give me the money!"

I was shocked: "Didn't Milo give you money?"

The leader of the Goryeo smiled slyly: "Two people, in the city, add money."

I thought of their two companions being detained in the city, so I ordered Adu to give him a golden leaf.

Later I regretted my generosity.

The Goryeo almost didn't see the light in his eyes when he saw the golden leaf. Later, along the way, the Korean people always made excuses everywhere, asking us to pay for meals and for staying in the inn, always asking for prices. Although I am not very smart, I have been mingling with Adu on the streets of Shangjing almost every day for the past three years. I still know how much it costs to buy something. Usually two pieces of golden leaves can buy a house, but the Korean people want us to have a piece of golden leaves for a meal, and they will kill us. I think the money is all from Li Chengyin anyway, so it doesn’t hurt at all to spend it. Besides, they do have their companions stopped in the city, and it’s not a big deal to let those Koreans take advantage, so I just pretended not to understand. Market price only. Although those Koreans are greedy, they endure hardships. They get up every day before dawn and do not rest until sunset. I have to travel eight or nine hours a day. I haven't been riding a horse for such a long time in three years. It hurts my bones. Every night when I get to the inn, I can fall asleep with my head on the pillow.

I slept soundly that night when Adu suddenly shook me up. She held a knife in one hand, and I saw the light in her eyes in the dark. I quickly got up and asked in a low voice: "Is Li Chengyin's people catching up?"

Adu shook his head. I don't know if she didn't know or she didn't guess it.

We waited quietly in the dark, when we suddenly heard a soft "chi" sound. If we didn't pay attention, we couldn't hear it. I saw a thin bamboo tube pierced through the window paper and stretched in. Adu and I looked at each other, when white smoke suddenly appeared from the thin bamboo tube. As soon as I smelled the smell, I felt that my hands and feet became soft and could no longer stand. The white smoke that came in turned out to be scented. Adu took a step, blocked the bamboo tube with his thumb, pinched the tube, and suddenly poke it out.

Just listen to a low whistle, and a "gudong" outside, as if a heavy object is falling. I was dizzy, Adu opened the window, and the fresh wind made me awake. She fed me some water again, and I felt that the power of Mixiang gradually dissipated. Adu opened the door, and there was a person in the hallway, who turned out to be the Korean leader of the team. He was pricked in a keyhole by the thin tube of sweet fragrance, and now he sat stiffly with his mouth wide open. Adu took out the knife and put it on his neck, then looked at me.

I was afraid that there would be other secrets, and said to Adu: "Drag him in, we will try it first."

A'du dragged him in and closed the door again. I kicked the man and asked, "Who are you?"

The man was very stubborn: "If you want to kill, kill. The man walks in the rivers and lakes. If he misses, why bother to ask."

"Oh, it turns out that using Mixiang this kind of mischievous trick is considered a big man?"

The man had no guilt on his face and said loudly: "In order to win, do whatever it takes!"

I said: "Now you have lost!"

The man was about to slap his mouth, and A'du lightly cut his leg with a knife, and the blood flowed immediately. He cried like a pig, and asked him anything he would say. It turned out that this Korean man saw us acting generously, and became more jealous, so he wanted to kill and rob me. He wanted to use Mixiang to fascinate me and Adu. Unexpectedly, he was hit by Adu just after blowing in the Mixiang. The acupoint.

"It turned out to be a robber pretending to be a businessman!" I kicked him again. "Quickly! How many people have you killed?"

The man burst into tears and repeatedly begged for mercy, saying that he was really a legitimate businessman, but he became so confused because of greed for a while. I have never harmed anyone before. There are a 70-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child in the family......

Is everyone so insatiable? This Goryeo wants more money, officials want to be bigger officials, and the emperor always wants a bigger territory. Therefore, the battle year after year will never end.

When never satisfied.

I thought of Li Chengyin again, that little prince, after all, step by step, he has come to today. His father tempted him with the throne, and he went step by step until today.

In fact, I just want someone to accompany me in Xiliang, herding horses and herding sheep.

There is no way to achieve such a simple desire.

Adu lightly tapped the handle of the knife on the head of the Korean man, and he passed out when he tilted his head. A'du and I tied him under the table, and then closed his mouth. Adu pictorially asked me if I wanted to kill him. I shook my head: "This man didn't dare to report to an official when he woke up. After all, he wanted to get money and kill him first. Let's tie him here. We can't go with them anymore. , Just changed to westbound."

We were afraid of showing our deeds, and we left the inn before dawn. After riding a horse for a long time, the sun came out. In the afternoon, the horse was sold at a market and an ox cart was bought. Adu and I were dressed up as farmers and peasant women. Go west.

Of course, there are still chasing soldiers. Many times the brigade will catch up directly from behind. We don’t even take a look at the worn-out bullock cart like ours, and they pass by quickly. Every time we go to a city, we will check more closely, but sometimes Adu and I don't enter the city at all and walk around the country roads. The journey was naturally extremely hard, and I don’t know how long it took to finally reach Yumen Pass.

Seeing the Xiongguan guarded between the two mountains, I finally cheered up.

As long as he exits the barrier, it is the boundary of the Western Regions. Even if Li Chengyin is now the emperor, if he insists on sending chasing troops out of the barrier, it will cause the Western Regions to be in an uproar, thinking that he is going to declare war. When the time comes, a real war will not be so easy. Because of this, Yumen Pass also posted a maritime arrest notice on the arrest of Qin criminals, and A'du and I were painted on the top as men, but the names were not ours.

To tell the truth, the painting is really like that. Li Chengyin only saw me wearing men's clothes once, so it's hard for him to get someone to draw it.

But now Adu and I are both women's clothing, and the Jiangyang thief wanted in the Hai arrest notice is a man, so Adu and I are in the queue for the clearance. It's just that we have not passed the customs, how to get out of the customs is a difficult task.

I'm not nervous. I have a lot of gold and silver in my bag. Adu has a martial arts skill. If you really encounter something, you should fight a fight first. If you can't win, we can buy it with money.

Unexpectedly, this time we can neither win nor buy.

I looked at the general who was shut down.

Pei Zhao.

I think Li Chengyin is really cunning. I went around the whole world with him, and still had to go out of Yumen to go back to Xiliang. Now he sends Pei Zhao to guard Yumen Pass and check them one by one. Even if Adu's martial arts is outstanding, he tries to break through. This Yumen Pass has an army of tens of thousands of people who are stationed throughout the year. I really want to fight and startle the army. Adu and I are afraid to intervene. The wings can't fly out either.

I smiled at Pei Zhao, and Pei Zhao also smiled at me.

I said: "General Pei, why are you here?"

Pei Zhao said: "At the end, he will be sent by His Highness to come here to hunt down the fugitive."

I couldn't even laugh: "General Pei is General Jinwu, commanding the Three Thousand Yulin in the East Palace. I don't know what kind of fugitive it is. He shocked the general and chased him until Yumen Pass."

Pei Zhao calmly said, "Naturally, it is an order to commit a crime."

I laughed twice again: "I am ordered to commit a crime..."

Adu moved slightly, and after the pheasant on the pass, countless armors appeared. They led their longbows and silently pointed their arrows at us.

I sighed and said to Pei Zhao: "Anyway, I have to go out anyway today. If you want to stop me, shoot my arrows to death under the closed door. Anyway, you can do that. I did it more than once."

Pei Zhao said: "The princess has misunderstood your Royal Highness, and your Royal Highness treats the princess is really crazy."

I said: "What kind of infatuation is not infatuation, I and him are cut off, you don't have to presume him before me."

Pei Zhao said: "The fire at Chengtian Gate is not because the lights are running out of water."

I was slightly surprised.

"Shangyuan Wanmin Huan, there is really no way to close the city gate. His Royal Highness is distressed, lest the assassin will take the crown prince out of the city and it will be difficult to hunt down, so he ruthlessly ordered that he secretly set fire to the Chengtian Gate." Pei Zhao's tone remained unchanged. It is light, "His Royal Highness can do such a thing for the princess, why the princess can not be Yuan You."

The news shocked me so much that I couldn't speak for a long time. The Chengtian Gate is a symbol of imperial power. Since the Chengtian Gate caught fire, there has been a lot of discussion in the dynasty. The emperor has committed a crime for this, and took the responsibility for his failure to himself. I never dreamed that it was not an accidental fire, it was actually set off by Li Chengyin.

Pei Zhao said: "His Royal Highness, as a prince, has all sorts of things to do. Shooting the assassin and accidentally wounding Adu girl that day was the end of the general. If the princess wants to see the crime, he will naturally accept it. Your Highness."
