Chapter 1199 Out of the City
Chapter 1199 Out of the City
After listening to the report, Long Chengye anxiously put down the teacup in his hand and jumped up from the chair.

"There is none outside the city, nor inside the city. A good living person has evaporated from the world."

Seeing that Long Chengye's eyes were red with anxiety, his sanity was on the verge of collapse.

Yan Xiaosi quickly comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Xiang'er is safe now, we will definitely find her."

After comforting Long Chengye, Yan Xiaosi asked, "Have you searched the whole city? Qing, Lou, and the theater?"

"I searched everything, from house to house, and didn't miss a single place."

With Chu Xiang's cleverness, Yan Xiaosi thought that she would hide in the green building, but after searching the green building, there was no one there, which made her frowned and was a little puzzled.

Long Yu said: "Perhaps they haven't left the city yet, so send people to continue to strictly check the people who have left the city."

"Yes, master."

When the imperial guards and the guards of the Zhanwang Palace retreated, Long Yu stretched out his hand and patted Long Chengye's shoulder comfortingly.

"Ye'er, it's time for you to go back to the palace. You are the king of a country. Don't forget the burden on yourself. Now that Chu Xiang knows who her enemy is, she will definitely go to Dayan. Four envoys to Dayan, we will definitely try our best to find Chu Xiang and bring her to you safely."

Long Chengye is now distraught, so he doesn't have the heart to go to court.

Long Yu said: "You can't solve any problems even if you are upset now. If you can trust Uncle Huang, then you will entrust Chu Xiang's safety to Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang will assure you that she will be brought to you safely."

"Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang, Xiang'er will leave to you."

Long Chengye has relied on and trusted Long Yu since he was a child, and this time was no exception. He listened to Long Yu's words, suppressed his irritability and returned to the palace.

At dawn, Chu Xiang was fully dressed, and took Mudan to find the old lady and the bustard.

"Did you sleep well last night, Young Master? Is Peony satisfied with serving Young Master?"

Seeing Chu Xiang coming down from the second floor holding Mudan's hand, the old bustard greeted her with a smile.

Chu Xiang said: "Ms. Peony is very dear to me. I have decided to redeem her. Mom will make a price."

Mudan is not young anymore, and she is not the number one in the building. In a few years, she will be old and look bad, and she will not even be able to receive customers. Now that someone wants to redeem Mudan, the old man and the bustard are of course very happy.

"My lord, you have discernment. Our peony is not only a good-looking person, but also has a gentle personality, and can sing little songs. Buy the peony back. The peony will definitely make you happy. The price is 200 taels."

"Mom, Xiaomei's redemption price is 1000 taels of silver, and Xiaomei is two years younger than me. You are asking for 200 taels, isn't that a wild asking price?"

The old bustard and Zi gave Mudan a hard look at her protest.

"Mom is talking to Young Master now, it's not your turn to intervene. If Young Master doesn't have the money, then I'm sorry, Peony has to stay with us."

Chu Xiang quietly took out the crested hairpin from her bosom, and handed it to the old lady and the bustard.

"This is enough."

The greens and buildings in the capital welcome and send them to rich and powerful people. The old bustard has seen many rare treasures, but the old look of the crested hairpin in front of him makes the old bustard look dizzy. Bright, especially the luminous pearl inlaid on the crested hairpin, the old bustard almost drools when he sees it.

A night pearl the size of a pigeon egg is worth at least 500 taels of silver, not to mention that the hairpin is made of pure gold.

"Enough, enough, the young master is really generous."

The old man and the bustard were afraid that Chu Xiang would repent, so he quickly put the Fengtou hairpin into his arms, then changed his expression, and patted Mudan's shoulder kindly.

"Peony, you are really lucky to be with such a generous and handsome young master. From now on, you will stay by your side and serve your young master."

"Peony thanks mother for teaching."

Chu Xiang held Peony with one hand, and reached out to the old bustard with the other.

"Mom, you have already taken the golden hairpin, please give me the deed of sale of Miss Peony."

"Please wait a moment, son."

The old bustard quickly fetched Mudan's deed of sale and handed it to Chu Xiang.

Chu Xiang took the deed of sale and left with Mudan.

It was still early, there were few pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides of the street were sparsely open.

Mudan followed Chu Xiang and asked softly, "Master, shall we leave the city now?"

Walking to the door of a clothing store, Chu Xiang stopped, glanced into the clothing store, turned her head and said to Mudan: "Let's go in first and change our outfits."

After a while, the two came out of the tailor shop, and Chu Xiang transformed from a handsome young man into a dark-faced farmer with a mustache and a coarse padded jacket.

Peony's black hair was tied up at the back of her head, a floral turban was wrapped around her head, she was wearing a floral padded jacket, her skin was also darkened with black rouge, and she looked like a farmer's daughter-in-law.

After leaving the clothing store, Chu Xiang bought a bamboo basket and a few Chinese cabbages from a small stall on the street, and walked towards the south gate with them on their backs.

When approaching the south city gate, Mudan grabbed Chu Xiang's arm nervously.

"Young master, will we be recognized like this?"

Chu Xiang patted the back of her hand sideways, and gave her an encouraging look.

"Don't be nervous, you should call me husband now, let's be like ordinary couples who go to the city to sell vegetables."

The interrogation at the gate of the city was very strict, and the two waited in line for a while before arriving in front of the gate guards.

"What are your two surnames, where do you live, and what do you do in the city?"

Chu Xiang pretended to be nervous and replied: "My lord, the villain's surname is Xiang, and his name is Xiang Lin. He lives in Xiaohe Village outside the city. This is the villain's daughter-in-law. The villain and his wife went to the city yesterday to sell Chinese cabbage. The business is not good." Well, after selling for a day, there are still a few left, the weather is too cold, I can’t take it anymore, and I’m going home.”

Mudan's home is in Xiaohe Village outside the city, and Chu Xiang borrowed it.

"Officer, if you don't mind, I'll give you the remaining Chinese cabbage. It's a good time to cook pork stewed cabbage in this cold winter."

While speaking, Chu Xiang put down the basket on her body, took out the Chinese cabbage inside and placed it in front of the city guards.

Seeing the watery Chinese cabbages, the city guards hooked the corners of their mouths in satisfaction, and then glanced at Chu Xiang and Mudan. They saw that they were dressed as country bumpkins, and their temperament was nothing to do with noble people, so they waved He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Chu Xiang picked up the pannier and strode out with Peony.

After leaving the city, the two heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Xiang relaxed, took out Peony's contract of sale from her arms, and handed it to her.

"Miss Peony, this is your contract of sale."

Mudan said: "Miss Chu, you have redeemed Mudan, and Mudan is yours now, and Mudan is willing to follow you as a slave."
