long live the queen

Chapter 18

Late at night is the time when Wan Lai is silent.

In the Xuancheng Prison, Zhou Tong and his subordinate jailers had come to the end of their wine fight, and they were all staggering and unconscious.

In the cell, Wei Yunqing was lying sideways and hadn't slept. Hearing the crisp sound of a wine glass breaking outside, she quietly turned over and pushed Yang Yi.Yang Yi was as tense as Wei Yunqing, and he didn't fall asleep. He sat up after being pushed by her, with a mixture of nervousness and excitement on his face.

Wei Yunqing picked up a bunch of keys, which Zhou Tong had secretly slipped to her when he came over. At that time, he had agreed with her to break the wine glass as a signal for action.She gripped the key tightly without letting it make a sound, and tiptoed to the cell door, opened the door with the key that Zhou Tong had pointed out to her in advance, motioned Yang Yi to come out slowly, and then closed the cell door.

The two walked out lightly, and when they passed the group of staggering jailers, their steps became even lighter.Seeing that he was about to pass by, Yang Yi was so nervous that he accidentally kicked the fallen wine jar. The wine jar rolled along the terrain and finally hit the wall with a loud noise, scaring Wei Yun Qing and Yang Yi immediately stopped, holding their breath and not daring to move.

"What, what?" A jailer who was not so drunk, raised his head suddenly when he was startled by the voice, but stared at the front with half-opened eyes in a daze, frightening the two people on the side of his line of sight like frightened birds.

"It's okay, continue to sleep." A voice suddenly came from the side, and then the jailer's head was pressed down on the table with one hand.The jailer didn't struggle, moved his head and fell asleep again.

"Let's go..." It was Zhou Tong who was covering the two of them, and he made a mouth shape to signal them to go quickly.

When Zhou Tong gave the key to Wei Yunqing, she had already given him the 100 taels of silver.The jailbreak was only between Wei Yunqing and Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong didn't tell the other guards, so as not to cause more troubles. Fortunately, he was the prison leader, and he said that it would be easy for his men to drink and get them all drunk.

Wei Yunqing put the keys on the ground, put on a messy pose, smiled gratefully at Zhou Tong, and led Yang Yi out.

And Zhou Tong didn't bother with the keys on the ground, seeing the two leave, he hurried to the cell, lay down outside the original cell of Wei Yunqing and the two, pretending to be unconscious.Dereliction of duty is better than dereliction of duty.

Breathing the free air, Wei Yunqing felt extremely happy.After four days in prison, she realized what it was like to live like a year.If there is a mobile phone or computer, plus WiFi, it doesn't matter if she stays in prison for four days, but this is ancient times, there is nothing, no matter it is day or night, she is so bored that she can only sleep!

Yang Yi was also excited to be able to walk out of the cell, but it was pitch black outside, he didn't dare to act rashly, turned to look at Wei Yunqing and waited for her to make up her mind.

"Stay away from the government office first." Wei Yunqing said in a low voice.Zhou Tong had already reminded her that Xuancheng was patrolled by soldiers from the Song Dynasty at night, and they had better find a place to hide after they escaped from the prison, and then act after dawn.

Yang Yi nodded nervously and followed her step by step.After going through so many things, he has learned to control himself a little bit, everything is headed by Wei Yunqing, and he will do what she says.

In the night, the two walked aimlessly along the road in the dark, only thinking about getting as far away from the prison as possible.

Not long after the two left the prison, a group of cavalry came galloping in the night and finally stopped at the gate of the government office.

Li Zhuo got off his horse, with an unswerving expression on his face, but before entering the mansion, his eyes turned and fell on the nearby mansion prison.Thinking of the woman who was imprisoned by him a few days ago, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he walked into the prison with a turn of his footsteps.Leaving Xuancheng due to the military situation these few days, he didn't care about her. Thinking that she was a woman disguised as a man, and she might have suffered a lot in such a dangerous place, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and his steps were unconscious accelerate.

It's not that Li Zhuo didn't have time to visit her before leaving Xuancheng, but maybe her bold behavior angered him, and he deliberately let her stay in this prison for a few days because he wanted to make her suffer a bit.But after returning to Xuancheng, he regretted it a little.No matter how cunning and bold she is, she is still just a woman.

A moment later, Li Zhuo walked out of the prison in Xuancheng aggressively, and immediately ordered his subordinates to hunt down the two.

He let her escape again!

Li Zhuo himself was not idle, mounted his horse, and led half of his own soldiers to choose a direction to pursue.At this moment, apart from being angry, he couldn't help admiring Wei Yunqing.After seeing the cell she lived in for the past few days, he knew that she was doing well and didn't suffer at all. Not only that, she even escaped from the cell with someone!He actually underestimated her again.

Wei Yunqing, who was a few streets away, didn't know that his luck value was close to that of the gunmen, and he was still advancing very cautiously, for fear of encountering the patrol soldiers of the Great Song Army.

After a while, Wei Yunqing suddenly felt a slight vibration under his feet.

what is this?
She pulled Yang Yi to stop, and panicked on her face for a while: "It's a chaser!"

That's a lot of hooves!

Wei Yunqing didn't really think that the cavalry came to chase the two of them. Li Zhuo hadn't paid any attention to her for so long, so why did he just happen to come to her on the night when she escaped and found out that she had escaped and came to chase her?But in such a quiet late night, I suddenly heard a group of cavalry approaching gradually. It was impossible not to panic. They had no legitimate reason to appear on the streets late at night!

"Run!" Wei Yunqing screamed in a low voice, and ran forward.Fortunately, the money on my body has been used up in the past few days, so I don't feel much weight when I run.

Yang Yi had already been as timid as a mouse during this period of time. Hearing her shout, he ran away without asking anything.

The hooves of the horses were approaching, but the sound was very rhythmic, as if maintaining an even speed, it should not be chasing them.

Although Wei Yunqing was panicked, he did not forget to judge, but knowing this, the two of them had to run, even if they hadn't come to chase them, if they saw them wandering around during the curfew time, they would definitely be taken back to prison, then they would I ran away in vain!

She ran forward quickly while searching both sides of the road, and saw a small alley not far ahead, her eyes lit up, and she decided to run there to hide.The opponent is a cavalry, so the search will not be very careful, and there should be no one hiding in the dark alley.

The sound of the horse's hooves was getting louder and louder, Wei Yunqing hurriedly quickened his pace, and quickly rushed into the alley, his back pressed against the wall, panting violently, and said in a low voice: "Let's hide first."

No one around responded.

Wei Yunqing's heart skipped a beat, and her head turned around. Why is Yang Yi still following her?

She quickly poked her head out to see that Yang Yi was lying on the ground not far away, and was struggling to get up.

She almost wanted to kneel down to him, when did he fall!Why don't you make a sound when you fall!
Taking a deep breath, Wei Yunqing rushed out of the alley and ran towards Yang Yi.But at this time, the sound of horseshoes was suddenly clear, and the group of cavalry was already in her sight.Shocked, she returned to the alley as soon as she turned her footsteps, her eyes widened as she pressed against the wall, her heart almost stopped beating.

What, what to do!

The cavalry over there had already spotted Yang Yi, and the leader of the team was Li Zhuo.

As soon as Yang Yi got up, he saw that Wei Yunqing was no longer in front of him, but there was a group of big Song cavalrymen. He was so frightened that he was almost out of his wits, and could not speak a word in a daze.

Li Zhuo looked down at Yang Yi from a high position. After using the wound medicine for the past few days, the wound on Yang Yi's face had healed a lot. Li Zhuo looked carefully and finally recognized that he was the person who followed Wei Yunqing a few days ago.

He looked around. The street was quiet and empty.

"Where's Wei Yunqing?" Li Zhuo asked.

Yang Yi was in a daze and didn't reply for a while.

Li Zhuo sneered, and flicked the whip in his hand, passing Yang Yi's ear like a spirit snake, without hurting him, but the wind blown by the whip was so fierce that he staggered two steps in fright, and sat down on the ground.

Li Zhuo's soldiers were naturally of a different quality than the general soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, no one laughed at Yang Yi because of this, they all sat on their horses with an imposing manner.

"Don't tell me?" Li Zhuo said, "Forget it, as long as I have you, I'm not afraid that she won't fall into the trap!"

Although Li Zhuo didn't know exactly the relationship between Wei Yunqing and Yang Yi, judging from the way she defended him that day, the relationship between the two was extraordinary, perhaps as she said before, they were her younger brother.But...he remembered that she said that there was no male in her family, so her father brought her by his side to learn business, but he didn't know which one was true and which one was false.But it doesn't matter, when he catches her, he will naturally find out the truth.

The place where Wei Yunqing hid was not far away, she could hear Li Zhuo's words clearly, and her palms were already full of sweat.

Now that she has all the bank notes on her body, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. The best choice should be to hide here.Based on her relationship with Li Zhuo, once it falls into his hands, the consequences will be disastrous.

But...Yang Yi was caught by Li Zhuo.He was still a child, impulsive and irritable, but timid and cowardly. Maybe Li Zhuo didn't need to torture him to tell him everything about his identity, and he wouldn't even give her time to retreat and think about it in the long run.Once Yang Yi confessed, no matter how he thought about it, he would have no way out - she didn't think that Yang Yi had Zhu Qizhen's charisma and could make the people of Song Dynasty treat him with courtesy.

Li Zhuo's target is her, she should go back.But if she chose to go back, she would be foolish, as Li Zhuo said, she would fall into the trap of herself.

How can I do?To save Yang Yi, or to save himself?

Wei Yunqing suddenly remembered that when Yang Yi hugged her and cried in the prison, she had promised him that she would never abandon him.

Wei Yunqing gritted his teeth and walked out of the alley where he was hiding step by step.

The team of cavalry spotted her immediately, but before they could take any action, Li Zhuo raised his hand to stop them, and watched Wei Yunqing approaching proactively with great interest.

When Yang Yi was in a daze, seeing Wei Yunqing go and come back, his face burst into ecstasy, but his feet were weak but he couldn't get up, he just watched her approaching in a daze.Sister Yunqing came back to save him!

Looking forward with more than a dozen pairs of eyes, Wei Yunqing was really afraid.However, Yang Yixin's joyful and dependent eyes seemed to give her some motivation, allowing her to walk steadily in front of him, barely blocking his falling figure.

"Lord Li, why bother my younger brother?" Wei Yunqing looked up at Li Zhuo, "He is young and can't speak, you don't feel ashamed to bully him."

Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "Your younger brother is not young, and his appearance is also handsome. As you said, I am interested in him, so how can I bully him?"

Wei Yunqing: "..." He was using her previous words to slander him to run her down!

Hearing Li Zhuo's words, the expressions of his soldiers all changed—what does it mean to "follow him"?Didn't Vice General Li say he doesn't like men?
Li Zhuo didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the soldiers, he lowered his hand, and reached out to Wei Yunqing, without urging, just looking at her with a smile.

Knowing that there was no way to escape, Wei Yunqing still froze for a while, then turned around to support Yang Yi, and whispered in his ear: "Remember, you can't speak. Once you speak, we will die."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Yang Yi's expression, he turned around and walked towards Li Zhuo as if death was at home.

The eyeballs of Li Zhuo's soldiers are about to fall off, what is going on?Lieutenant General Li just said that he was interested in that younger brother, why did he want an older brother again in a blink of an eye?

Wei Yunqing walked under the horse, Li Zhuo bent down and picked her up, then hugged her on the horse's back, and sat sideways in front of him on the horse's back.

The soldiers' eyes widened.

But Li Zhuo raised his hand and tore off the hair tie on top of Wei Yunqing's head, loosened her long hair, and raised his sleeve to wipe the stains on her face, revealing her beautiful face a little.

"Women?!" The soldiers were stunned, and then they were relieved. Sure enough, their Lieutenant General Li still likes women!
A soldier grabbed Yang Yi and put him on the horse's back. He didn't get the good treatment from Wei Yunqing, so he could only lie face down on the horse's back.Yang Yi didn't dare to struggle wildly, but he could see Li Zhuo hugging Wei Yunqing tightly with an intimate attitude when he turned his head slightly.

He clenched his fists.

Li Zhuole rode forward, and suddenly smiled in Wei Yunqing's ear, "Miss Yunqing, I was in a bad mood tonight, but when I saw you, I felt refreshed. It seems that you are destined to be mine."

...Go away, okay?

Wei Yunqing shut his mouth tightly and remained silent.There is no causal relationship between the sentences before and after these words, and the logic is negative!
