unruly princess

Chapter 66

"Want...to meet the general?" Hei Pi stammered.

"Well, I know it's difficult and dangerous. Have you thought it through?"

Heipi hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and slapped the table: "Boss, Heipi will do what I promised even if it cost me my life. Just say what you want me to do. If I wrinkle It's not a good man to frown."

I nodded appreciatively, and then there were clusters of beautiful eyebrows that did not draw natural black. After thinking for a while, I said: "This is really not easy to handle. I am afraid that you will be watched by others as soon as you appear. I was arrested when I saw the general. Hey, I have to try it no matter what. Heipi, do you have a pen and paper here?"

Heipi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Boss, you also know that I can't read a few words, how could I have pens and paper. Otherwise, I'll go to the street to buy some now."

I thought about it, everyone knows that Hei Pi is usually ignorant, so going to borrow a pen and paper might arouse suspicion from others. "En, that's fine. You have to be careful, don't be seen by others. It's best to buy in places you don't often go to, so as not to be suspected." Don't be careless.

"En, I see." Hei Pi responded and went out.

I also use this little time to try my luck and heal internal injuries.It's just that the arrow wound may not be so easy to recover, and ten days and a half months will not work.But it's pretty good that I can get back to my current state now.

About half an hour later, Hei Pi bought the things back.Before I picked up the pen, I suddenly found a problem again.If the letter arrives, where will I meet him?Now that I am a fugitive, if someone finds out, I will be taken to prison first. Although the emperor and queen mother may not kill me, it is difficult to guarantee that the second prince will not play tricks.At that time, I am afraid that I will not escape death.

Even if I know that this day's big conspiracy may not be revealed.So meeting Chu Yuntian this time must be secret and secret, and there must be no mistakes.As long as I see him everything will be fine.But where is the best place to meet?It is best to be in a place where everyone is unexpected and hidden.What a headache!

Seeing me staring at the paper in a daze, Heipi asked in bewilderment, "Boss, why haven't you written yet? Is there something wrong with the paper?"

I shook my head and said distressedly, "I just don't know where to meet him."

Hei Pi was silent for a while and said: "That's true. The most important thing is not to be discovered before you meet with the general. Ah, I suddenly remembered a place." Hei Pi looked at me excitedly.

"Oh? Where?" I really dare not underestimate Hei Pi now. Although he is a little gangster, he has helped me so much in this regard.I was thinking, if I was looking for someone other than Heipi, I am afraid that he would have informed me to receive the reward, even if I hadn't informed me, I might have been arrested long ago, and my unique skills would not be here.

"There is a very quiet mountain forest five or six miles away from here. Few people go there. And I also know a road leading there. We absolutely don't have to worry about being discovered." Heipi said confidently.

"Really? There is such a place." I asked excitedly.But then my smiling face collapsed again, "But I can't, I think the gate of the city has already been closed, and it's impossible for me to go out."

"Boss, you don't have to worry. I knew the news that the city gate was blocked. How could I find that kind of place outside the city. But when you mentioned it, I remembered that it is indeed possible to leave the city there. But it is very dangerous. Already." Heipi said.

"It's not outside the city? That's great." I changed the subject and asked again: "What's the matter with you saying that you can go out of the city?"

"There is a fast-flowing river over there, all the way down to the outside of the city. I don't know where it goes. Because I have never gone down before, I feel dizzy when I see such a fast-flowing water." Hei Pi said while doing it. Look dizzy.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Hei Pi to be afraid of not only blood but also water. I really don't know how you've been messing around all these years." I couldn't help laughing at being teased by him.

"That's right, it's a miracle that I've survived until now. Boss, don't talk about it now, it's more important. What do you think of that place just now?"

"Sounds very suitable, but I'm afraid Chu Yuntian won't be able to find it there."

"Then I'll draw a map and attach it to your letter, he will definitely understand it." Hei Pi pondered.

"Good idea, Heipi, I find that I really admire you more and more now. I really don't know how many wooden fishes I broke in my previous life to make a friend like you." I said sincerely.The gratitude in my heart cannot be described in two or three sentences.

Hei Pi was embarrassed by what I said, his face turned red and said: "What did the boss say? I am not so good. Having a friend like the boss is the only way I have been convinced in my previous life."

Another thorny problem was solved, and my heart became much lighter again.It must have been ten days since we were separated from Chu Yuntian, I really miss him.I couldn't help jumping up at the thought of meeting him soon.

However, there is still a key problem that has not been resolved, that is, how to deliver the letter to Chu Yuntian.It seems impossible for Heipi to give it to Chu Yuntian himself, and it must be handed over to someone he can trust.It would be best to hand it over to Cui'er or Lu'er, but they are men that girls generally don't see outside.By the way, isn't the most distinctive one and the one who is Chu Yuntian's confidant is Deputy General Wang?

Although he has his own mansion, the General's Mansion is huge, and for the sake of convenience, he has arranged a residence with these personal soldiers and generals, especially now that it is time for employing people, a serious person like him must report to the General's Mansion every day .The most distinctive feature is that he also has a full face of beard, which is easy to identify.

I think it shouldn't be difficult for Ruo Huan to go into the General's Mansion and find him.I told Hei Pi what I thought, but I didn't wear anything close to my body that could prove my identity, otherwise I would have to let him carry it to prove my identity, lest Vice General Wang would not believe him.Now we can only resign ourselves to fate.I hope the black skin can mix in.

However, some things are often not as simple as we think.More expectation, more disappointment.

On the first day, when I saw the black-skinned bitter gourd's face, I knew it was a bad day.Although I was disappointed in my heart, I didn't want to show it too obviously, but comforted him a few words.

He told me that now there are heavy guards inside and outside the General's Mansion. The worst thing is that people inside can't come out at will, and people outside can't go in at will. If they want to go in, they will be strictly interrogated.It should be said that except for the general himself and several generals under him who are not restricted, other people have no freedom at all.

I sighed and sneered at the same time, I didn't expect that a mere woman from me would bother them so much.Could it be that the imperial court keeps so many officers and soldiers just to catch me?

The next day, it was the same.The General's Mansion is as solid as gold, and there is not a single crack to be nailed. It is really too difficult to get in.The extra day it takes, the worse it gets for me.

Hei Pi also tried his best to inquire about the situation outside. It is said that the marriage between Chu Yuntian and the princess has been delayed again and again because Chu Yuntian said that if he wants to marry the princess, he must first find me. .If I go out rashly like this, wouldn't I push Chu Yuntian onto other women?

So I must not let other people know about my meeting with Chu Yuntian, not the empress dowager, not even Yu Kangqi.Although my body has improved a lot, my self-confidence has decreased a lot.

By the third day I had no hope at all.But things often turn around when people are most desperate. Hei Pi came back very late today, and although he was a little tired, he looked excited.It turned out that he knew a friend who used to collect firewood for his reputation, and sold the firewood he collected to rich families. The general's mansion also needed food, and he had delivered it several times before.

He asked the firewood delivery man to try his luck today, and after asking, he actually went in.Hei Pi told him the person who asked him to deliver the letter, it would be even better if it was the general himself, and he also said that he had seen it.Later, the firewood seller really lived up to his trust and handed over the letter to a bearded man.

It has been stated in the letter that the meeting time is at noon the next day after receiving the letter in an abandoned hut in the mountain forest that is said to have been used by hunters.That is tomorrow, tomorrow I will be able to see Chu Yuntian, and by then all problems will no longer be a problem.

I was ecstatic when I heard the news.But I also felt a little uneasy in my heart.Will things really go this smoothly?

Just in case, I wrote down Yu Kangqi's conspiracy on paper again.After drying it, he handed it to Heipi, "You put this away, in case something happens to me, you must give this to Chu Yuntian for me."

Heipi took it in his hand and looked at me puzzled, "Boss, what are you doing? I feel very sad when you say it like parting from life and death. And you entrust me with such an important matter, I really don't know what to say." ..."

"Heipi," I interrupted him, "the only person I can trust now is you. And this matter is too important. I'm afraid that something might happen... I can't take this risk. But you don't have to either Nervous, if everything goes well tomorrow, this piece of paper will be useless. Hehe."

After these two days of recuperation, the injury on my leg has also healed a lot. Although it is difficult to walk normally, it is gratifying to be able to walk anyway.Internal injuries are almost healed.

The next day, Heipi found a very inconspicuous carriage, and carefully peeled a smooth wooden stick for me to support.The carriage was running very slowly. At the beginning, I could hear the noisy noise outside, but gradually I couldn't hear it at all.

Only then did I dare to look out the car window. There are indeed few people here.If I am now in spring, it must be beautiful. Now the trees on both sides of the road are full of withered branches and leaves.The carriage is also pressed with hay.

That is to say, after traveling for more than half an hour, we arrived at the agreed thatched cottage.Heipi helped me out of the car and walked into the thatched cottage.As soon as the door was opened, a lot of dust fell from above. There was only a bed covered with hay and tables and stools nailed with thick wooden sticks.Heipi carefully helped me to sit down in order to sweep the dust off the stool.

"Boss, take a rest first. It's still early for the general to come, and it's almost an hour before noon!" 
"En." Now I'm wearing a dark blue gown that Heipi has been reluctant to wear.Heipi is very thin and not too tall, so I don't wear it as exaggeratedly as I wear Yukangqi's clothes.His hair was only combed in a man's bun, and he looked a bit like a sick scholar.

During this period of waiting, Hei Pi kept telling me some interesting stories that I had never heard before, which made me chuckle endlessly.The time was almost up, and there was no sign of Chu Yuntian coming.I couldn't stop looking out, but I was always disappointed.

"Could it be that he got lost? Or did he never receive it? Or..." It's not that bad!The uneasiness in my heart is gradually spreading.

"Boss, don't worry, I'll go and have a look now." Hei Pi said and walked out.

"Wait, Heipi." I called him who was about to step out of the room, "You should go back first! I'll just wait here alone. You can go back, right?"

"Boss, how could I leave you here? I want to wait here with you." Heipi said stubbornly.

"Hei Pi, you still have a mission! I don't know if Chu Yuntian will come, but if there is a glimmer of hope, I will wait. You are different. If I really have an emergency, that matter will be troublesome You. So you must not have anything to do. Don't worry, if I see Chu Yuntian, I will tell you first."

"Boss..." Hei Pi saw my firm tone and couldn't help sobbing.

"What are you doing? You still want to have a runny nose at such an age! Hehe, hurry up! I'm fine. As the saying goes, a new marriage is better than a little Bie. Chu Yuntian and I haven't seen each other for so long. It must be extremely inconvenient for you to be here. So you'd better not get in the way here." I tried my best to speak with ease.

"Boss." Hei Pi obviously didn't believe what I just said.

"What are you still dawdling about? If Chu Yuntian doesn't come, the big deal is that I'll just go back the same way. If you have anything to worry about, go!" There was obvious anxiety in my voice.

Only then did Heipi turn around and leave. I got up and stood at the door, watching his leaving back, and murmured with gratitude: "Heipi, thank you. Thank you very much. You are the best person I have in this world. friend."

Go back to your original position, sit down, and wait slowly.Time passed by every minute and every second, and my mood changed from joy at the beginning to anxiety, then restlessness, and finally despair amid disappointment.Chu Yuntian did not come, and the worst thing I feared did not happen.Since nothing happened, let's just treat today as blank.

Stretching, he stood up with one hand on the unstable table and the other on the wooden stick.As soon as I stood up, I heard a "bang", and the half-closed door was torn apart.

I looked at the sawdust on the ground in surprise and then at the instigator, who looked familiar but couldn't remember.

"Ma'am, you are really still here! It's great." He was about 40 years old, but he had a long beard.It's just that there was a hint of cunning in his excited eyes.

My vigilance suddenly raised: "You know me?"

"Ma'am, you don't know me anymore? We met before. I'm Commander Liu! It's no wonder Madam doesn't remember me. I'm just a little commander. How could you put it on me?"

"It turned out to be Commander Liu, what a disrespect. Why are you here?" I seem to have seen it before, I don't remember exactly, but his intentions for coming seem to be not good.
"Hehe, Madam, you sent someone to deliver the letter!" He raised the paper in his hand and said.

"This... How could this be in your hands?" The degree of surprise in my heart cannot be described in words.

"It seemed to be given to me by an old man selling firewood, but I didn't give it to the general." He stared at me maliciously.I suddenly understood in my heart that the firewood seller must have given the letter to the wrong person.

"What the hell do you mean by that?" I asked sharply.

"Nothing interesting? Ma'am, you are a fugitive arrested by the imperial court. My duty is to arrest you. Just imagine how I could give up this great opportunity! Besides, there is another noble person here today besides me." After he finished speaking, he stepped aside, and then I saw the person I never wanted to see again——Yu Kangqi.

"Mrs. Chu, we meet again." Yu Kangqi greeted me with a smile.

"So it's you? It's all your fault." I said bitterly.Commander Liu must have been bribed by him.

"You are so capable that you managed to escape right under my nose. You were lucky last time, and I will never let you escape again this time." Yu Kangqi walked over, his face away I'm less than half a foot.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have lost a lot of weight. You are also a little more morbidly beautiful, reminding me of Xi Shi, a beautiful woman from Yue. I found that I really hate and love you, even though you used to treat me like that, I still don't like you." I have the heart to kill you! I really wonder if you were transformed into a goblin, otherwise how could I miss you like a demon?" He grabbed my hair and sniffed ambiguously like last time.
