Chapter 97 097
As soon as Qingyu left, the task of guarding Shen Qingci fell on Qingyun.

Even if the doors and windows of the room were locked and there were a lot of masters outside, Qingyun did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

After all, this girl is too capable of tossing around!
He didn't dare to sleep all night, and almost squatted at the door with his eyes wide open.

It wasn't until the sky was about to dawn that he squinted for a while.

Sheng Tingye had already got up to wash up, and quickly walked out of the east room.

Qingyun got up in a jerk and hurriedly got up to salute.

Seeing that he was holding the 24 fracture fan that he had snatched from Gu Qiuli yesterday, the room was too narrow, so he should have gone out to figure out this hidden weapon.

Qingyun hurried back again, leaning against the door panel and continuing to listen to the movement of the room behind him.

Still quiet, the girl should still be sleeping.

Thinking that it was still early, and the master didn't give orders to leave for the capital, Qing Yun didn't make a sound to bother her, and just stood silently at the door.

Seeing that the sky was bright, there was still no movement in the house.

Waiting and waiting, Qingyun suddenly felt something was wrong.

Too quiet.

It was so quiet that... He could not feel the breath of the people in the room with his ears pressed against the door.

He was startled, and couldn't care about anything else, and immediately slammed on the door: "Girl!"

"girl!"

"girl!"

There was no reply at all.

Qingyun panicked all of a sudden.

He quickly opened the lock with the key.

The doors and windows were sealed, but the originally dark room was brightly lit.

When Qingyun saw the empty bed, he also saw the big hole above his head with two bowl-thick mouths.

The beam of the house did not know when it broke, and the surrounding tiles were neatly stacked aside.

He froze, as if struck by lightning.

Obviously he has been guarding outside, how did the girl dig such a big hole in the beam and escape, and how did she avoid the people outside?
Before he had time to think about it, Qingyun turned around and went out in a hurry, and told a few brothers who were waiting outside the courtyard not far away: "Hurry up! Everyone has run away!"

After yelling, Qingyun also walked out of the yard quickly, and chased in the direction Sheng Tingye had just left.

At this time, Sheng Tingye was thinking about the 24 fracture fan in his hand in the small woods not far away.

There is a mystery hidden in every bone of this folding fan.

Different activation methods will open different organs and shoot out corresponding hidden weapons.

Inside, there are blades as thin as cicada wings but cutting iron like mud, diamond-shaped hidden weapons, and even sleeve arrows.

If you don't follow the law, touch the mechanism by mistake, and if you react a little slower, you may kill yourself.

The exquisite workmanship is a must.

As smart as Sheng Tingye, he couldn't fully understand the machine expansion inside for a while.

I can only take it back and ponder it slowly.

He put away his fan, and was raising his hand to take back the hidden weapons that had just been nailed into the trunk of the pine tree, when he heard Qingyun's hasty footsteps behind him.

"master!"

Before he came to the front, Qingyun knelt down with a plop.

"Master please punish me, this subordinate did not keep an eye on that girl."

For a moment, Sheng Tingye thought he had heard wrong.

He picked up the hidden weapon in his hand, turned his head and glanced at Qing Yun lightly: "Run away?"

Qingyun kowtowed: "Yes... yes!"

Although there was suspicion of justifying himself, Qingyun still bit the bullet and continued: "This subordinate really didn't sleep all night, and only narrowed his eyes a little when it was getting bright."

"According to the calculation, even if she runs, she shouldn't be able to run very far. The subordinate has already been chased by someone."

Sheng Tingye didn't say a word, but the aura around him was so overwhelming that Qingyun couldn't breathe.

After thinking about it for a while, he pointed out the problem.

"Since you haven't closed your eyes all night, it is impossible for her to escape quietly under your nose."

"As for the time of dawn—"

The hidden guards who were resting outside had already woken up, even without Qing Yun guarding her body, it was impossible for her to escape under the hands of the still awake dark guards.

Hearing this, Qingyun was slightly taken aback, "But there is indeed a hole in the beam..."

Sheng Tingye glanced at him coolly.

Only then did Qingyun, who was disgusted, react belatedly—that leaky roof was in plain sight.

It was unlikely that the girl had escaped through the cave, that would make his brothers look dull and useless.

If not, how did she escape?

Qingyun was puzzled.

At this time, Sheng Tingye was so angry with his idiot subordinate that he didn't want to speak.

He didn't even look at Qingyun, he quickly walked back to the courtyard and went to the west room.

As Qingyun said, there is indeed a big hole in the roof.

But if he wanted to escape through the hole on the roof, he would definitely expose himself to the hidden guards in the yard.

Sheng Tingye narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked to the bed.

The bedding on the bed was messy, she did stay here last night.

but the bedside...

Sheng Tingye's eyes swept across the traces at the foot of the bed, and in an instant, he understood everything.

He quickly turned around and walked quickly back to the east room, and sure enough, he saw the rear window of the east room was wide open.

Obviously when he got up to leave, the rear window was still closed.

All these signs point to a truth.

She made that hole in the roof just to confuse Qingyun!
When Qingyun pushed the door and entered, seeing the hole and the empty bed, he must have been extremely flustered, preconceived that she had already escaped.

In fact, she was hiding under the bed at the time.

When Qingyun left the house and turned around to ask someone to chase her, she quickly crawled out from under the bed, then went the opposite way and went to the east room.

The rear windows of the east house and the west house have different orientations, so the escape routes are of course also different.

When those hidden guards were all chasing to the west, she escaped from the east room where no one expected, and headed east.

Sheng Tingye glanced at the window sill, and there was still a strand of pale pink cloth hanging on some old window lattices.

It was she who escaped too quickly and was caught by the burr on it.

Sheng Tingye only felt a suffocation in his chest.

This little liar escaped under his nose again!

Next time he catches her, he should break her legs first!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Sheng Tingye said in a deep voice: "She shouldn't have escaped very far, you take the rest of the people to chase."

Qingyun, who knew he had made a big mistake, quickly responded, and immediately led his men to chase him out from the direction where the rear window leads.

From when Qingyun walked out of the yard to find Sheng Tingye, and then when Sheng Tingye came back, the time was not long or short.

At this moment, Shen Qingci had already fled to the official road at the foot of the opposite mountain.

Only after seeing the words on the inn in front of her did she know that this was Qiushui Town.

It is still hundreds of miles away from Kyoto.

There are horses in the post station, but she is penniless, so it is impossible to borrow a horse.

It was still early, and there was no one on the road, even if you wanted to take a passing carriage.

Shen Qingci knew that she couldn't run on her own.

With the intelligence of that dog officer, he will soon discover her little trick and send someone to chase her.

She moved her sore arms and was worrying when she heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from far and near, and soon a carriage appeared on the official road not far away.

There are several horses running in parallel around the carriage.

Shen Qingci was overjoyed.

Hastily patted the dust on his body to welcome him.

When those people approached and saw the sign on the carriage, Shen Qingci wanted to burn incense to the Buddha on the spot.

Qin.

A carriage of that size, with the family crest of the Qin family, and bells hanging from the four corners of the carriage, ran all the way, tinkling. Although it was not as ostentatious and luxurious as Lin Yunzheng, it was still impressive.

It was the carriage of General Zhen Guo's mansion, and the owner of the carriage was Qin Jiaojiao, the daughter of General Qin.

It was also her and Lin Yunzheng's childhood playmate.

Although Qin Jiaojiao's name is Jiaojiao, her temperament is not at all delicate.

She is free and easy, jealous of evil, and hit it off with her.

The two talked about everything, and even made a promise to walk the world together with swords.

It's a pity that two years ago, General Qin was sent to guard Nanjin Pass, and Mrs. Qin was ordered to go with her.

Fearing that the grandmother and uncle in the mansion would not be able to suppress her, he asked them to take Jiaojiao away together.

Shen Qingci never expected to meet her in such a desperate situation.

The pace under her feet quickened, she quickly pulled a veil over her face, and then stopped in the middle of the road far away.

"Call-"

The galloping carriage team suddenly stopped.

"Who? Dare to block the carriage of the general's mansion?"

The guard on the side scolded coldly.

Shen Qingci hurriedly said: "Is Miss Qin inside?"

The guard was about to speak, but saw that the curtain of the car was pulled up, revealing Qin Jiaojiao's incomparably beautiful face.

It overlapped with the appearance of the little girl in memory.

Shen Qingci was very excited.

Facing strangers, Qin Jiaojiao showed the aloofness and self-control that a daughter of a general's family should have: "Are you looking for me?"

Shen Qingci didn't talk nonsense: "Miss Qin, I'm Jiang Yuwan's friend, I'm in some trouble, I want to ask Miss Qin to help me."

As soon as Jiang Yuwan was mentioned, Qin Jiaojiao's expression softened, and she was pleasantly surprised: "Are you A Wan's friend?"

Shen Qingci nodded: "The situation is urgent, please help me this time."

Qin Jiaojiao had a straightforward temperament, so she didn't say anything at once, she just asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Shen Qingci glanced at the guards beside him.

They are also faces they have known since childhood, and they are Qin Jiaojiao's confidants. She said frankly: "Lend me a horse, and if anyone asks, just say that you have never seen me."

Hearing this, Qin Jiaojiao was startled: "Is it that simple?"

Shen Qingci nodded.

In fact, based on Jiang Yuwan's friendship with Qin Jiaojiao, she could definitely go back to Beijing with Qin Jiaojiao.

With Qin Jiaojiao as the cover, that dog official Lin Yue didn't dare to act rashly.

However, she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Qin Jiaojiao.

"That's it. I'll give the girl a reasonable explanation later."

It could be seen that she was really in a hurry, but it was just a horse, so Qin Jiaojiao immediately called a guard: "Quick, give her the horse."

The guard retreated to the side of the carriage, rode with the driver, and gave way to the horse.

And Shen Qingci got on the horse, and she hugged Qin Jiaojiao: "Thank you!"

After finishing speaking, she clamped the horse's belly suddenly and galloped all the way out.

But Qin Jiaojiao, who was on her way, did not leave.

"There is a station ahead, let's rest for a while."

She wanted to see who was making things difficult for the girl.

A neat little girl with kung fu, even if she wasn't Jiang Yuwan's friend, she still liked her from the bottom of her heart.

Judging by the girl's expression just now, the person who is chasing her should be nearby.

Being curious about everything, she also wanted to see what was going on.

Qin Jiaojiao had good intentions, but unexpectedly, this caused a misunderstanding.
