Chapter 424 Why didn't you come?
After the others left and Yi Wuchang moved aside, Jiang Linglong dared to breathe deeply. However, she first lowered her head to look at the child in her arms to make sure that the child was okay before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Yi Wuchang looked at her sweaty face, her hair sticking to her face, and some blood stains on her face and body, and felt very uncomfortable.
In the past, she was the cleanest.
Just as she was about to reach out her hand, she realized that he already had a family and she was married.
He retracted his outstretched hand: "Are you... okay?"
Jiang Linglong looked up at him. How long had it been since she last saw him? It seemed like exactly two years.
He bowed slightly: "Thank you, General Yi, for saving my life."
Yi Wuchang was about to reach out his hand, but Jiang Linglong took a step back slightly.
Yi Wuchang's hands froze there, and when he opened his mouth, his voice trembled slightly.
"You come with me."
Jiang Linglong bit her lower lip and took another step back, slightly wary: "Are you in the same group with them?"
Yi Wuchang did not answer this, but only said: "I... won't harm you."
After he said this, Jiang Linglong gritted her teeth and followed him forward.
They met many soldiers along the way, but they were all sent away by Yi Wuchang.
More and more people are dying on the road.
Yi Wuchang took her to the side of a small road and said, "Go out from this place. The people arranged by the Prime Minister will be waiting for you there."
Jiang Linglong felt that she couldn't understand him.
"Since you are the prince's man, why are you helping me?"
Yi Wuchang smiled bitterly: "Everything is inevitable and forced by the situation. If possible, I just want to be myself."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Linglong felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Thinking back to the time when she leaned on his shoulder and the two of them looked at the sunset, she told him that it would be great if they could just be themselves, not bound by anything, just be free and unrestrained and be themselves!
And now...
Yi Wuchang looked at her cautiously: "Besides, I said, I... won't hurt you."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Linglong didn't say anything else. She just gave him a complicated look, turned around and ran towards that road. Maybe she was still unwilling to give up, so she ran back.
"Why didn't you come then?"
Yi Wuchang didn't understand what she said.
Jiang Linglong asked again: "I waited for you outside the city for a day and a night, why didn't you come?"
Just as Yi Wuchang was about to ask for clarification, a soldier passed by. Jiang Linglong knew that she would not be able to wait for an answer, so she turned and walked into the darkness.
When Yi Wuchang turned around, the person was gone.
Meanwhile, the Queen and the Crown Prince thought they had everyone under control, and were feeling proud when someone came to report, "Queen and Crown Prince, the eldest prince's consort has run away."
The prince was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand.
The queen glanced at him and shook her head slightly.
"She's just a woman! How could she be able to run away?"
"It was the eldest prince who sent people to protect her."
"Go after her! Bring her back to me! I want her alive!"
"Yes!"
The queen narrowed her eyes slightly: "For a woman, are you willing to do this?"
The prince was somewhat unconvinced.
"Is she more ambitious than ours? When we accomplish this, what kind of woman can't you get?"
But he just wants Jiang Linglong!
The queen finally snorted, but didn't say anything. After all, she was just a woman and was insignificant compared to her grand plan.
Then he ordered, "Send people to chase the group of people who escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't leave any of them alive."
"Yes!"
Jiang Linglong walked along the road and didn't meet any soldiers on the way. Finally, she reached the end and saw a man standing there. Jiang Linglong walked forward cautiously until she saw the man's face, then she stood up.
"Commander Lu!"
When Commander Lu saw her, he quickly walked up to her and said, "The Prime Minister asked me to wait for the princess here."
Jiang Linglong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Princess, come with me. I will take you to meet the eldest prince!"
Jiang Linglong followed his steps: "Commander Lu, where are my father and the others?"
"The Prime Minister and his men have entered the palace, but the Prime Minister asked me to tell you not to worry about them. No matter what happens, you only need to protect yourself and the little prince."
Jiang Linglong nodded.
……
Meanwhile, Xie Jiaojiao and the others had already left the capital.
Seeing that it was getting light, Xie Jiaojiao, who had not slept all night, opened the curtain and saw that the scenery outside was covered with snow all the way. She didn't dare to look at it for fear of hurting her eyes.
"Take a break!"
The left horse outside the carriage called the carriage to a halt.
A Tian and A Di in the carriage also woke up. When they woke up, they found themselves in the carriage. They looked at Xie Jiaojiao and asked, "Aunt, where are we going? Where are my father and mother?"
Xie Jiaojiao held their identical faces with both hands: "Last night, your parents said that they would let your aunt take you to your aunt's hometown to play. Are you willing to go?"
“Is your cousin’s hometown far away?”
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "If we set out now, I'm afraid we'll have to walk for a month or so."
The two pursed their lips and thought about it.
Ah Di suddenly asked, "Did mother carry me to the carriage?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
"Then let's follow our aunt."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and touched his hair.
"So nice."
After a short rest and a simple breakfast, the group continued on their journey.
But when they reached the intersection, one was heading south and the other was heading north.
Xie Jiaojiao called Xu Shan.
"We're heading north."
"But Madam, aren't we going back to Jiangbo City?"
Xie Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment and said, "They know we are coming from the south, so they will chase us to the south, but we will go to the north..."
Xu Shan understood instantly and drove the carriage towards the north.
Although Zuo Cheng behind didn't quite understand why they had to go north, he still followed.
After walking for a few more days, there was still no news from the capital. It started snowing on the road again, and the journey to the north became increasingly difficult.
Xie Jiaojiao found a town, settled down, and didn't want to leave.
"The journey was smooth, it seems to be just as the young lady expected."
"But we still can't let our guard down. If they don't catch up with us after chasing us for a long time, they will definitely get suspicious."
Xu Shan nodded.
Xie Jiaojiao asked him to go to the town to buy some self-defense items, but the town was so small that it was not easy to buy swords and other things on short notice. However, there were many hunters in the north, so the most popular item in the iron shop in the town was animal traps. Xie Jiaojiao asked Xu Shan to buy a lot of them.
"Madam, what's the use of this thing? We are not going up the mountain to hunt."
Xie Jiaojiao took one and said, "It would be good to put this thing on the floor of our room every night, so you don't have to stand guard every night."
The two of them understood.
At night, A Tian A Di asked Xie Jiao Jiao: "Aunt, aren't we going to Jiangnan? Why are we stopping here?"
Xie Jiaojiao lied to them: "Aunt wants to see the snow here again. She has always lived in the south and longs for the snow."
"So this is ah."
I stayed in the inn in the town for several days until the snowstorm passed.
But Xie Jiaojiao still had no intention of leaving.
Xu Shan and Zuo Chengdu couldn't understand why she was like this.
In their minds, if they wanted to escape, they would run as far away as possible. Why would they stay here and just eat and play every day?
