Chapter 484 Where to Escape (1)
Zhu Qi's face turned from red to white in an instant.

After she came back that time, she kept wondering if he had doubted her identity.Otherwise, why would she not pester him these days, but instead want to hide from him for a while, so as not to be discovered by him.

Didn't the starling's words confirm her guess, he knew she was a woman.

"Eleventh Brother." Zhu Jing interrupted her association with Feifei.

"Brother?" Zhu Qi asked.

"To be honest, anyway, it doesn't take until tomorrow, maybe everyone who should know will know."

"Know what?" Zhu Qi's heart was pounding.

"The Palace of the Protector of the Country is empty. Of course, the emperor will never admit it, and will never announce it to the world immediately."

"Does the starling mean they are going to escape?"

"of course."

"Why are they fleeing?"

"This, your starling is not too clear. The only thing that is certain is that if they don't escape, the emperor will arrest them all and kill them all."

Zhu Qi made a sound, and from standing up to sitting down, her eyes became dumbfounded.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Jing's eyes flickered, and he filled her cup with tea, and waited for her to calm down, and said: "Eleventh brother, don't think that I am a starling who talks too much. It’s an old saying again. No matter what, we are all the emperor’s sons, and the emperor’s courtiers. What the emperor says, we must do. Regardless of the status of sons or courtiers, we are destined to do what we do.”

Zhu Qi's face was pale under the candlelight, as if she was still in shock.

Zhu Jing, who was sitting across the table, watched the housekeeper bring up the mille-feuille cake, and asked, "Is there anyone else coming?"

"Go back to Master Ba, Master Jiu just came over." The butler replied.

"Ninth Brother." Zhu Qi regained consciousness and turned her head to look.

Lao Jiu walked in from the door, took a bow in his hand, stroked the elasticity of the bowstring with one hand, and said as he walked, "The eleventh brother is here?"

"Ninth Brother." Zhu Qi called out again.

"Don't stand, sit down. They are all brothers who are familiar with each other." After saying this, Lao Jiu sat down on the pear blossom stool with a marble chair in front of them, and handed the bow to the butler beside him.

"Brother Jiu is coming back from Ximen?" Seeing him holding a bow, Zhu Qi naturally thought of Ximen's royal shooting range.

"Where? I'm ready to go hunting. What? You're not ready yet?" Old Nine looked at Old Eleven, and asked with surprise at the corner of his mouth, "I heard mynah say you went to Old Ten, didn't you? What? Are you not ready?"

A few words, if you don't know the ins and outs of it, you must be confused, wondering if this old nine is incoherent.

Zhu Qi's face darkened, and she glanced at Lao Ba beside her again.Her starling had already known that she was going to Shi Ye's house, but in the end, she was waiting for her to fall into the trap.

"Is it strange?" Seeing the way she looked at Lao Ba, Lao Jiu said something for Lao Ba, "Don't blame Ba Ge, he cares about you, and is worried that you will suffer if you go to Lao Ten's place. Think about it, this If we don’t do something, how many people are vying to do it. Just now, the admiral’s mansion issued a military order, the four gates of the capital, and now there is a pass issued by the emperor, no one can enter or leave.”

"What!" Zhu Qi couldn't help shouting.

"Why are you so anxious? Are you afraid that someone will escape? Or are you afraid that someone will be caught by Fu Zhongping?"

As if being caught by Lao Jiu's words, Zhu Qi said awkwardly: "Ninth brother, why are you pulling me? I just sent it out of feeling, that Fu Zhongping didn't even agree with the emperor."

"Where does he not buy the emperor's account? He is rushing to flatter the emperor. Even En is not afraid of being charged with the crime of revenge, as long as he is flattered by the emperor." Ze chuckled, "Speaking of which, aren't we rushing to flatter the emperor?"

Zhu Qi couldn't help clenching her fist tightly.As a subject of the emperor, whoever is not in a hurry to flatter the emperor, whoever does not flatter the emperor, is like a person in the palace of the protector of the country, who is on the road to escape.

"Okay, old nine, don't talk about it." Old eight Zhu Jing looked at the two of them, his gentle eyes flickered, and said to old nine, "She didn't think about it on Eleven, she was younger after all, Those who have made great contributions to the emperor and need to go to the war are also brothers like us, and it will not be until the eleventh. The emperor is also reluctant to let the eleven go to the war."

Hearing the old eight's words, Zhu Qi suddenly said, "What are you talking about? I am definitely going to go out with my brothers. As the emperor's son and courtier, if I am greedy for life and afraid of death at this time, how can I fight?" Are you worthy of the title of Prince?"

"Eleventh brother is right!" Lao Jiu stood up and slapped Zhu Qi's slender shoulder, "But, eleventh brother, don't force yourself, follow your brothers carefully, go out dangerously, and turn your face when you encounter White-faced wolf who doesn't recognize people, Mynah and I are worried that you will suffer."

"White-eyed wolf, right? I'm not afraid of white-eyed bears." Zhu Qi said in a cold and majestic voice, "I shot an arrow through its chest when I met it. Which one of my ten-year-old archery skills can compare to it?"

Lao Jiu and Lao Ba looked at each other.

The city gate of the capital was closed tightly according to the order of the admiral's mansion. In other words, the officer who released the last carriage out of the south gate of the capital felt that something was wrong no matter how he thought about it afterwards.At this juncture, some people chased the dream of getting promoted and making a fortune, and went to the admiral's mansion to directly enroll in the officer's book.

When Fu Zhongping heard that someone had successfully escaped from the capital at the last moment with a pass issued by him, he was shocked, and suddenly remembered that he had given this thing to Li Min to thank him.

He should have remembered such an important matter long ago. If he had remembered earlier, he would have ordered the guards at the gates of each city to pay special attention to those who were preparing to leave the city with the pass issued by him. Perhaps, he would have made great contributions to the emperor in catching the fugitive.Why should he be panicked now, worried that the emperor would know that it was his pass that let him go.

It's getting more and more chaotic.

The Ma family father and son stood in front of him. Hearing this, they felt that they had their own responsibility, and immediately asked to lead the troops to chase the fleeing convoy.

Fu Zhongping trusted Ma's father and son, knowing that Ma's father and son had the same interests as him now, so he agreed with a wave of his hand.

The vest father and son set off with a cavalry of 100 men, starting from the south gate, chasing the traces of the carriage leaving.

By this time, there was still no news from the palace.The emperor didn't seem to know the banning order that had spread all over the city, and he didn't seem to know that everyone was rushing to flatter him.Perhaps the emperor felt that since he didn't need to issue orders, the people below would automatically and consciously help the emperor, so he didn't issue orders at all.

Is that really the case?
