Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 257 Escape to Wangcheng
"Cunran..."

After sitting and sleeping next to the bed, Cunran heard Gu Qi's voice in a blur, and suddenly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Gu Qi had already woken up. He was about to struggle to sit up from the bed, so Cunran quickly stood up. , and helped him to sit up.

"My lord, you're awake!" Cunran's tone was full of surprise, and he was also relieved.

After Gu Qi looked around the surrounding environment, he knew that he was in the bamboo house: "Why did you send me here?"

Cunran explained: "Your Majesty, the slave came immediately after receiving your signal, but the slave didn't know what happened, and didn't dare to send you back to the mansion rashly, so I brought you here temporarily. "

"You are right." Gu Qi nodded, "What time is it?"

Cunran got up and opened the window to look at the sky outside: "My lord, it's already time."

"Sishi." Gu Qi lowered his eyes, muttered thoughtfully in his heart, "I must have already descended."

"Currently."

"exist."

"Go into the city and find out what's going on in the city? See if there is any relevant punishment imposed on me by the emperor."

Looking at the back of Cunran leaving, Gu Qi had a bad premonition in his heart. The emperor must have been alarmed by what happened last night, and he didn't know what kind of decision he would make.

After Cunran came down from the mountain, he walked towards the gate of the city alone. From a distance, he saw many people queuing up to be inspected one by one by the guards at the gate.

Suppressing the surprise and panic in my heart, I still lined up at the back of the crowd. When I got to him, I saw the officer and soldier holding a portrait in his hand. I compared it with him. After seeing that it was not the person in the portrait, I went Pushed him vigorously: "Go in!"

Cunran glanced at the person painted on the portrait, it was Gu Qi!
After entering the city, along the way, Cunran found that there were many more officers and soldiers patrolling the mansion than usual, and he also found that there were many people surrounded by the bulletin board in front, so he stepped forward and squeezed forward. Then I found that there were images posted on a bulletin board, all of which were portraits of Gu Qi, and there was a text description at the bottom: King Qi is wanted in the whole city.

"This King Qi actually did such a rebellious thing, even kidnapped his sister-in-law on the wedding night!"

"That's right, I heard that King Qi is the most gentle and refined, with a gentle temperament. I never imagined that he would do such a thing!"

Hearing the discussion among the people around, Cun Ran quietly retreated from the crowd, and hurried to Prince Qi's mansion.

Cunran originally thought about entering into Prince Qi's mansion to inquire about news, but when he first entered the crossing of Prince Qi's mansion, he found that the palace was surrounded by officers and soldiers, heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Cunran walked around the city for a long time, and after inquiring everywhere, he learned that after the emperor knew that it was King Qi who had kidnapped Prince Ling's mansion, he was furious and ordered General Xiao's eldest son, Xiao Yichen, to arrest Gu Qi and bring him to justice as soon as possible.

Seeing that it was getting late, and it was almost time to close the city gate, Cun Ran didn't dare to delay for a moment. After buying some steamed buns at the steamed stuffed bun shop, he quickly left the city.

When he returned to the bamboo house, Gu Qi was practicing swords in the yard. Seeing this, he put the buns aside, and hurriedly went up to persuade him: "My lord, your injuries are not healed yet, how can you use force?"

Gu Qi smiled lightly: "It's okay." As soon as the words fell, he suddenly covered his chest, coughed twice, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Cunran frowned, and was about to step forward to check: "My lord!"

Gu Qi raised his hand, stopped his movement, then thrust the sword fiercely into the ground, looked up to the sky and laughed three times: "Unexpectedly, I, Gu Qi, fell into the hands of a woman." That laughter With a lot of helplessness and loss.

Looking at Gu Qi like this, the saver felt extremely distressed, and picked up the steamed stuffed bun that was put aside and handed it to Gu Qi: "My lord, I will help you in, you can eat something first, there is only this, you can make it up first. "

Gu Qi didn't answer, and asked him what news he found out today.

Surprisingly, he told Gu Qi the news he found out: "My lord, there are people arresting you everywhere in the imperial city, so you must not enter the city."

Gu Qi's expression was not good after hearing this, but he felt rejoicing, Cun Ran's decision last night was correct, if he had sent himself back to Prince Qi's Mansion yesterday, he might have been imprisoned in the sky prison now .

Gu Qi took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked into the bamboo house frowning, followed closely by Cun Ran.

Seeing that Gu Qi took out a wooden box from under the bed, after opening it, he saw some gold in the box, Cun Ran was also very surprised, Gu Qi murmured to himself: "Fortunately, I kept some gold in it before."

"Cunran, move this box to the carriage outside." Gu Qi ordered Cunran, then walked to the medicine box beside him, took out a porcelain bottle from inside, poured out a pill, and ate it.

When Cun Ran just put the wooden box away, he saw Gu Qi coming out of the house holding a medicine box: "My lord."

After Gu Qi put the medicine box on the carriage without saying a word, he got on the carriage before exiting: "Go to Wangcheng, the speed must be fast, and when we reach the next foothold, we will change to two good horses, and we will ride."

There was a bit of worry in Cunran's eyes: "My lord, your body, if you ride a horse..."

Gu Qi directly interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't ride a horse, is it possible to slowly throw yourself into the trap in a carriage?"

Cunran lowered his head: "Understood, my lord.

"Remember, don't call me prince along the way, call me son." Gu Qi urged Cunran.

"Yes, king...ah, no, son." Cunran still couldn't change it for a while.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, this place is not far from the imperial city, presumably the officers and soldiers will search here soon, set off quickly, remember, we must pay attention to erasing the traces of our road." Gu Qi dared not delay , urging Cunran to leave quickly.

Cunran nodded, and lowered the curtain on the carriage, "Drive!"

When the carriage started to leave, Gu Qi picked up the connection next to him and threw the fire folder in his hand in front of the door, and the fire spread up along the door frame in an instant.

Gu Qi looked at the burning bamboo house, put down the bamboo curtain, and thought about things solemnly.

The surrounding bamboo forests are full of snow, so it will definitely not spread to the whole mountain. After burning the bamboo huts, it will surely disappear.

A carriage shuttled through the path in the bamboo forest. Because of the snow, Cun Ran didn't dare to drive too fast. When he went down the mountain and reached the official road, he speeded up and rushed to the next resting point.
