Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 152

Following those two people, Su Qinghe and Yun Duo smeared down the mountain.

"Are you the coachman of the Su Mansion?" The middle-aged woman searched for a while, and saw a carriage with a man in his 30s sitting on it, who was peeling a tree branch. He stepped forward and asked.

Old Wang looked at the middle-aged woman suspiciously, and after thinking for a while, he realized that Su Qinghe's surname was Su, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage: "Yes, you are...but my husband...what happened to my girl on the mountain? ?”

"Hey, don't worry, your girl was fine before, but suddenly disappeared a quarter of an hour ago. The nanny in your house asked me to come over and tell you, so that you can find someone quickly."

The middle-aged woman was very enthusiastic, and pointed her finger: "I guess I haven't found it on the mountain. If you are looking for it, you should look around the foot of the mountain first. A girl's house should not be far away. This is only a moment." Zhong, probably hasn’t left this place yet.”

Old Wang's complexion changed, and he hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for reporting the letter. Originally, I was supposed to send this sister-in-law and this young lady up, but my girl..."

My aunt curled her lips: "Forget it, you are still in danger, so don't think about us, let's go back by ourselves, you should hurry up and find your girl, you might meet something on this big night, even if it is I haven't met anyone, and there might be a wild wolf in such a remote place, if something happens to your girl, I don't think you will end well, so you don't have to send us off."

Old Wang was speechless, and the middle-aged woman probably felt that the man's speech was not very pleasant, so she stretched out her hand and pulled her, and said to Old Wang with a smile: "This girl speaks a bit straight, brother, don't mind. It's more important to find your girl, so hurry up, don't worry about us, this nunnery is right up there, you can see it at a glance, don't worry at all."

Lao Wang saluted them very gratefully, watched them go up the mountain, and then hurriedly turned back to find Qi Heng and the others in the woods, but before taking two steps, he heard a familiar voice behind him shout: "Uncle Wang, Hurry up, we have to leave."

"Concubine Princess?" The old Wang turned his head and saw Su Qinghe and Yun Duo, and was even more surprised. He came to help Yun Duo carry the big package, and asked, "What's the matter? Isn't there someone else? Why didn't you take care of it?" Princess of the county?"

"Yun Juan ran away." Su Qinghe said concisely: "If Yun Juan is the spy in the mansion, there might be pursuers arriving in a while, we have to take the opportunity to escape."

In fact, the possibility that Yunjuan is a spy is very high.Because Yun Juan was distributed to Su Qinghe by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she is a maidservant recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Imperial Palace. If she escapes, it will be a much more serious crime than the escaped slaves of ordinary people.

Generally speaking, this kind of maid will never defect unless she is forced to.Even if Shen Junxiu's life and death are uncertain right now, and Su Qinghe's future is dark, but no one has definite news, maybe Shen Junxiu will come back tomorrow?
Even if Shen Junxiu really can't come back, then Su Qinghe has a child in her stomach and the title of county head on her body, is she afraid that she won't be able to support a maid in the future?Therefore, unless he really got the news that Shen Junxiu died, and then Su Qinghe also died, Yun Juan could have such thoughts.

Moreover, even if the two masters above are dead, they can be regarded as following Su Qinghe to the end, maybe they can gain a good reputation of being loyal to the master in the end, even if they want to get rid of slavery in the future, it is not impossible .

No matter how he calculates, there is not much benefit for Yunjuan to defect, on the contrary, he has a better chance of staying.

Well, Su Qinghe still has to admit that she was wary of Yunjuan before, if Shen Junxiu is gone, she might be able to go back alive, and maybe she will anger Yunjuan, and then Yunjuan might be even more sad, maybe It will be dead, so it is not impossible to escape or something.

But it is more likely that it is a spy, so Su Qinghe is worried that Yun Juan is going back to report the news.

"Really?" Pharaoh was also taken aback, Su Qinghe shook his head: "I can't tell, but Yunjuan left by himself, and took the money with him, leaving only some jewelry and the ones I kept next to me. Bank note."

As he said that, he had already reached the edge of the small forest. Qi Heng heard the voice and hurried out. He didn't know what happened. Old Wang said angrily: "We have to leave now, we are not afraid of ten thousand or ten thousand." One, if Yun Juan really has malicious intentions, there are only a few of us, and there is not enough trouble."

Qi Heng nodded and went inside to wake up all the guards.Su Qinghe and Yun Duo got into the carriage again, and this time they simply went directly to the east of the city.When Su Qinghe was discussing with Qi Heng before, Yunjuan also listened.Therefore, Yunjuan also knew that Su Qinghe did not approve of going to the east of the city, so the possibility of them chasing after them to the east of the city was less.

Besides, the east of the city and the west of the city are basically two directions. Jiangnan is not a small town, and it only takes one day to go around in a circle. It takes at least two or three days to go around the south of the city.

In the middle, they had many opportunities to change directions.

Su Qinghe was nervous and couldn't calm down while sitting in the carriage, thinking of Shen Junxiu for a while, she didn't know how he was doing right now, whether he was injured or something.After a while, he thought of the third prince who left, and wondered if he could think that the fourth prince also met an assassin.I also thought about the Jiangnan Commander, whether the Tian Hu sent there would mess things up, if the Jiangnan Commander was not from the First Prince's side, or if some accident happened to Tian Hu, it would be even more difficult to wait for the rescue .

"Princess Princess, it's so strange that there's been no rescuer for such a long time." After running around for nearly an hour, Qi Heng couldn't find any pursuers behind him, so he ran to the carriage and said, "That Yunjuan, could it be that he has defected?" ?”

"I don't know. If it wasn't for defection, what did she do with the money in her bag? I didn't notice it before, but now I think about it, when she went out to fetch water, her waist was bulging. In addition, she looked panicked. , I didn't think much about it at the time, but now it seems that she probably has thought about it a long time ago."

Su Qinghe rubbed her brows a little tiredly: "It's probably because the sheriff couldn't find time to trouble me. After all, I'm just a woman and child, and I was born as a country girl. Even if I entered the capital alive, I probably wouldn't be able to find me. There is evidence that the person who assassinated the third prince and the fourth prince was the governor."

"Thinking about it now, we really made a wrong step." Su Qinghe sighed, Qi Heng didn't understand, Su Qinghe said with a wry smile: "If we go to the sheriff first before fleeing, it's just as if we didn't know that the fourth prince met the assassin. Who did it, only said that the fourth prince met an assassin and asked the sheriff to send us back to the capital, the sheriff might think this is an opportunity."

If the fourth prince is killed, then Su Qinghe is the widow of the prince, and the child in her belly is the posthumous son of the fourth prince. The emperor has regarded Shen Junxiu highly in the past two years, so the treatment of the orphan of the fourth prince will definitely not be too bad .

The sheriff personally sent back the widow and posthumous son of the fourth prince, and that credit is extraordinary.

Qi Heng is also a smart person, and he understood Su Qinghe's meaning after a little thought. He smiled and shook his head and said, "Princess Princess, in fact, the possibility of this is very small, unless the county guard has already sent the third and fourth princes, as well as the people around them. If not, there is always the possibility of leaks, at this time, he has no heart to think about such things, the most important thing for him now is to deal with the third prince and the fourth prince."

"The most important thing is that you are the concubine of the county, and the fourth prince is a spy. Who in this capital knows that the fourth prince and the concubine of the county are on the same page. Who can guarantee that the things that the fourth prince finds out will not be told to the concubine of the county? Or , directly give you a piece of evidence to the princess of the county?"

Compared with a credit that may or may not be obtained, cutting the grass and roots is the wisest choice.

Su Qinghe thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "No wonder I think it's so easy for us to escape, so I think the sheriff must have got definite news before he has time to think about us."

"That may not be possible." Qi Heng shook his head again, while Yun Duo was curious: "Why is this? The fourth prince and the fourth prince definitely have evidence in their hands. Even if there is no evidence, they are princes, and as long as the emperor presents them If you open your mouth, you already have a bit of an advantage, no matter the county guard is innocent or not, it will not be easy, why doesn't he take care of the third prince and the fourth prince first?"

"If he jumps over the wall in a hurry, does he have to pull someone on his back?" Qi Heng raised his eyebrows and said, Yun Duo's face turned pale, and after thinking about it, he was a little unconvinced: "But there is always a priority, the sheriff and It’s not a general, there are only a few people in his hands, and he wants to go out to assassinate the third prince and the fourth prince, how many people can take care of us?”

Qi Heng raised his eyebrows: "Just our group of thirty or so people, how many people do we need to send here?"

Yun Duo was shocked: "Aren't you the royal guards? I heard that the royal guards can fight ten against one!"

Qi Heng smiled and said nothing, but seeing Su Qinghe was also a little curious, he smiled and said: "Actually, we are not royal guards, we belong to the county prince's mansion. According to the grade, the royal guards are divided into three classes. Waiting guards, second-class guards, and third-class guards, guarding the emperor are the imperial guards, which are higher in rank than first-class guards, followed by the guards of the Prince's Mansion, and the highest ones are equivalent to the second-class guards of the royal family, and those of the county prince's mansion. It’s going to go down one more level.”

After thinking for a while, he added: "Of course, if the emperor values ​​him very much, the emperor will reward a few high-level guards, but such things are relatively rare. His Highness is also quite special. I followed him to the barracks, although my grade didn't improve, but my ability..."

Yun Duo pouted: "Better than you guys, isn't it?"

Qi Heng sneered disdainfully: "Of course not, the ability is only better than the general guards of the royal palace, and it is still far behind us. Back then, the prince of the county was traveling to study, and the emperor was worried about his safety, so he sent us to protect him. It’s just that the county prince didn’t like us following, so he simply found two places to house us, and then hired someone to come and train, and now our ability is about comparable to that of the first-class royal guards.”

Su Qinghe was a little surprised: "In that case, why didn't you join the Royal Guard?"

Qi Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Some of our brothers have joined the Royal Guards, but each has his own ambition. We were all brought out by the county prince, so we must always protect the county prince's safety."

Su Qinghe nodded, looked back at the road, and could only see a square inch. The sky was too dark, and she couldn't figure out how long she had been walking.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Qi Heng, you might get horses? Just go on like this. If there are pursuers, we will be caught up sooner or later."
