Chapter 145 Chapter 145
On the official road in the dark night, after Gu Aman leaned against the ground to determine the direction of the carriage, he got on his horse and chased north along the rut.

The moon was sinking to the west, and the horse was tired after running for too long, but Gu Aman didn't dare to stop, until the ruts that had been chasing all the way got off the official road and entered the nearby mountains.

At this time, this place was already far away from Shangjing. There was a high mountain in the past, and there was Junling nearby. The moonlight in the sky was not very clear. The surrounding mountains and rocks were blooming white at night, and the dark grass and lush forest were mixed in between.

The wind blows through the mountains and rocks, ghosts cry and wolves howl.

Gu Aman reined in his horse and stopped, when she looked back, she could no longer see the direction she came from.

At this moment, she just wanted to get back the county master Fengqiu.

County Mistress Fengqiu was riding in a carriage, although there were many horses, the shafts to be towed were also heavy.

It stands to reason that if one is in a hurry to escape for one's life, one should never stop at this time and continue heading north, only waiting to leave the official road and embark on a journey elsewhere.

However, Gu Aman was also uncertain, after all, horses were always tired, and it was not ruled out that they chose a safe place to rest temporarily.

Gu Aman got off the horse and was surrounded by tall grass. She had to walk to see the traces of the carriage.

The tall grass ridges scratched the back of her hand, and the horse, who had been suffering with him all the time, enjoyed the rare extra meal instead.

Gu Aman simply let go and walked forward alone.

She came in a hurry, although Gu Mingluan had already been sent to inform the eldest prince, but she was not very confident about the speed of the latter's arrival.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

In the middle of the dense forest, Gu Aman seemed to see a corner of the carriage, she didn't dare to make any more noise, and moved forward slowly pressing the low grass.

The grass blades rustled in her ears, and the unknown bugs were disturbed by her, flying around in front of her eyes, but Gu Aman didn't even dare to chase them away.

Like a fox that found a mole, she pricked up her ears and tiptoed, slowly locking her prey.

When they got closer, Gu Aman could already faintly hear some human noises.

Gu Aman thought that Fengqiu's county lord escaped from marriage, and the number of people brought out should not be many, but in fact, the number was somewhat beyond her imagination. In just this moment, she heard the voices of at least four people.

This is not good news for Gu Aman who is alone.

But it is obvious that fate is always too cruel to her, when the green grass covering her eyes is pushed away by it.

A lit bonfire illuminated the entire carriage.

There were a total of six guards dressed in black, with resolute faces and expressionless faces. The narrow-sleeved clothes on their bodies were tightly tucked away, revealing their humble muscles.

Although his appearance is not good, he is obviously the son of the Lian family.

Gu Aman didn't dare to show her anger, and now she began to regret her recklessness, but under such circumstances, she couldn't ignore it, and scolded Gu Mingluan, that troublemaker, a hundred times in her heart.

The water boiling on the bonfire boiled, and someone with a kettle parked respectfully outside the nearby carriage.

"A group of useless things, let you boil hot water, it's so slow."

The female voice in the carriage could not be heard clearly from too far away, but it sounded like she was spoiled and spoiled.

It should be the princess Fengqiu who escaped marriage.

I just heard that Fengqiu County Lord was adopted as a foster daughter by the Queen Mother because she was an orphan, why is she going all the way north now?
Who are you going to defect to?

The first thing that Gu Aman thought of was Xiao Xi, but Xiao Xi is still helping disasters in the Yellow River area, if he is looking for him, the direction is wrong.

She stared at the front and frowned tightly. If she hadn't gone to Xiao Xi, then who would it be?

And with so many guards with her, she seemed to have expected that someone would hunt her down.

But it shouldn't.

The curtain hanging on the carriage was lifted, and the place where Gu Ah Man was behind his back could not be seen clearly. From Gu Ah Man's angle, he could only see the exposed violet sleeve.

this color...

She had never seen it on County Mistress Fengqiu.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the person in the carriage seemed to be exhausted, opened the curtain, and walked out of the carriage holding the hand of the guard.

She was wearing a palace attire, combed the most common bun for women in the palace, and arrogantly scolded the guards who boiled the water. She kept her back to Gu Aman's direction, and Gu Aman couldn't see her face.

But soon, Gu Aman discovered something was wrong.

"You can't even boil hot water well, how can you protect me?"

"Everyone is stupid and only knows how to hurry, are you going to exhaust me to death!"

"I brought you out, not to let you follow to see the scenery, but give me a bit of energy. If someone chases me, I will definitely let him come and go."

The woman in overalls was not tall, but her words were full of hostility. The insects in the grass were attracted by the fire and flew towards her, and landed on her sleeve inadvertently.

Hearing a scream, the woman in palace costume flapped her clothes, jumped and turned around.

The yellow light from the bonfire fell on her all-too-familiar face.

Gu Aman was so shocked that he almost couldn't breathe.What she was chasing all the way was not County Mistress Fengqiu, but Ruyang County Mistress who should be imprisoned!
"How could this be?"

Gu Aman's eyes flickered, could it be that Gu Mingluan lied to him!

No.

Soon, Gu Aman denied this idea.

Gu Mingluan's frightened expression at that time was real, which meant that he really gave his token to County Mistress Fengqiu, so that he could enter the First Prince's Mansion smoothly after the other party left Shangjing.

So it is true that Gu Mingluan gave the token to County Lord Fengqiu.

As for why Princess Ruyang appeared here, I have to ask Princess Fengqiu!
The grass stalk at hand was tightened and broken in Gu Aman's hands. She stretched like a bow and arrow completely drawn, and even the light blue blood vessels on the back of her hand were faintly visible.

She's hit!

Gu Aman originally thought that someone was targeting Gu Mingluan, but now he suddenly realized that this strategy was targeting him from the beginning.

Even the six Lianjiazi by the campfire probably prepared it for themselves.

Must get out of here!
Almost as soon as he saw the face of Princess Ruyang, Gu Aman knew that Gu Mingluan couldn't bring anyone.

This is an isolated battle.

There is no one else but her.

Must get out of here as soon as possible.

In the grass, Gu Aman's nervous hands and feet were cold, she took a deep breath, and silently sank in her heart, not daring to let it out.

The beads of sweat on her forehead slowly gathered on her cheeks, and slowly dripped down the tip of her small chin.

She slowly restored the bushes she had brushed away like when she came, and she slowly backed away, trying to get to the place where she kept the horses, and then—to run for her life.

As long as she can drive away on horseback, then she may still have a chance of living.

but.

The premise of all this is not to alarm anyone.

Otherwise, once discovered by the other party, she will face death without a place to bury her.

But Gu Aman underestimated Princess Ruyang's hatred for him, and even murmured about the number of guards.

Footsteps slowly approached behind him.

Those were the other guards who came back from hunting with pheasants...
