Leng Li wiped the blood stains on the sword, turned around to look at Luo Qingluan, who was motionless, and said in a low voice: "The drug is for self-defense at a critical time, and it can't be used until the last resort, if the drug is used up, we will be in trouble." ”

"Hmm."

Luo Qingluan nodded, his gaze shifted to the two corpses on the ground: "Let's deal with them first." ”

She took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Leng Li, motioning for him to sprinkle the powder on the corpse.

The powder burned with a sizzling sound, and the two corpses slowly melted into a puddle of water at a speed visible to the naked eye, and disappeared in an instant, and no one would have noticed that two people had died here if it weren't for the chaos of a fight.

The traces of the fight were covered up slightly, and everyone immediately packed their bags and left.

"Qingluan, do you have a plan for where to go next?" Liang Yuyan carefully put a veil on Luo Qingluan, staring indifferently at the soldiers patrolling in the distance.

Luo Qingluan recalled the route Liang Yuyan had arranged for her, and replied, "I'm going to take the waterway and try to avoid their sight." ”

Leng Li seemed to hesitate a little when he heard her words, and stopped: "No matter where we leave from, we must pass through the city gate. ”

"I know." Luo Qingluan looked back at Leng Li steadily, and said ruthlessly, "Let's go to the city gate to check the situation before making a decision." ”

Leng Li's eyes were obviously worried, but he didn't say much, and everyone rushed to the city gate with Luo Qingluan.

A group of people met at a tea shop not far from the city gate, Luo Qingluan stared at the soldiers who were checking the crowd at the city gate through the layers of crowds, and remembered what Su Yi said when he came to him.

Martial law has long been imposed at the city gate!

Luo Qingluan's goal was too big, and it was impossible for him to pass through the city gate smoothly.

But they don't have time now, if they can't leave the capital immediately, they are afraid that once the Queen Mother's people find that there is no one in the palace of the King of Chu, they will soon find them.

"What are we going to do?" Dai Yue kept looking anxiously at the city gate, and her eyes turned to Luo Qingluan for help.

Dai Yue's voice fell for a long time, and no one answered her, everyone looked at the city gate close at hand but couldn't leave the city, and for a while, an anxious atmosphere spread in everyone's hearts.

You must leave at night, otherwise it will be dawn, and you will only fall into the net!

Luo Qingluan noticed that everyone was starting to lose their breath, she settled down and told Leng Li to check near the city gate first, and if there was a weak defense, they could try to break through.

A cadre found a small alley with no one to rest temporarily, and Luo Qingluan hugged Changyi, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and his heart was pounding. At this moment, she had never missed Nalan Ye as much as she did now, and she missed his careful care for her everywhere.

She didn't know what they were going to do next, but she would do everything in her power to find Nalan Night.

Time passed little by little, and when Luo Qingluan couldn't bear it, Leng Li came back from inquiring about the good news, and said with a bad face: "The forbidden army sent by the palace is stationed at the gate of the city, and everyone who enters and exits during the day must be checked one by one, and if suspicious people are found, they will be temporarily imprisoned, let alone at night." ”

"Coupled with the fact that all carriages are not allowed to enter or leave the city gates, it seems that we will have to force our way out."

The news he brought back undoubtedly extinguished Luo Qingluan's hopes, and she groaned and swept around the people present.

"Are you sure you can force your way out?" Luo Qingluan asked, frowning.

She didn't want to hurt them again because of her, but if she survived the toughest hurdle, it would be difficult for the Forbidden Army to find them outside the city.

"For the sake of my senior brother, even if it is at some cost, I will definitely escort the princess out." Leng Li's face was calm, and his tone was loud.

As he moved, the rest of the people nodded their heads, their eyes full of determination. Luo Qingluan looked at everyone's unwavering appearance, and was greatly moved in his heart.

Time passed little by little, and when she saw that it had passed, she still didn't find an opportunity to take advantage of, did she really have to wait until the time to change her guard? It's already dawning, and I'm afraid it will increase the risk of being discovered.

Leng Li carefully observed the movements of the forbidden army, and then said, "Princess, if it doesn't work, it's better to break through." There were only twenty defenders at the gate, and the three of us ......"

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Xiaosu, nodded at Liang Yuyan and said, "It should be enough to deal with them, but there is no ambush in the dark." I have the highest martial arts, rush out first and kill them by surprise, and when the city gate is broken, you quickly take the princess out of the city together while there is a vacancy. ”

"Leave it to me." Liang Yuyan clenched the hilt of her sword, her eyes were like a cheetah staring at her prey, as long as Luo Qingluan gave an order, she could kill the forbidden army without leaving a single piece of armor. At this moment, even if she is a woman, she also puts life and death out of the way.

Without agreeing immediately, Luo Qingluan held his breath and kept observing the situation at the city gate, trying to find an opportunity to break through.

At this moment, a gorgeously dressed carriage slowly drove from the crowd, Luo Qingluan's heart moved, and he glanced at it, but noticed that the carriage was printed with the logo of the Western Chu royal family. She nervously raised her fists, guessing the identity of the people in the carriage.

It's so late, who in the palace will go out of the city at this time?

"Stop!"

The forbidden army stopped the carriage and shouted, "Who is in the carriage?" ”

After waiting for a long time but not hearing the response in the carriage, the forbidden army became suspicious, and was about to draw their swords and step forward to raise the curtain of the carriage, but they were stopped by Lu Xiao, the commander of the forbidden army.

Before Lu Xiao could speak, he only heard a coquettish voice in the carriage: "Who dares to be so presumptuous!" ”

"It's a dereliction of duty that disturbed the nobles in the car."

Lu Xiao recognized the symbol of the royal family at a glance, although he knew that the people in the carriage could not be delayed, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant, "But now that the city gate is under martial law, I am ordered to guard the city gate, and I also ask the nobles to get off the car to check." ”

A bright token stretched out from the side of the curtain, and the woman said: "What a boldness, this is the queen's mother's driver, you dare to let the queen mother get out of the car?" ”

It turned out to be Su Yi?!

Luo Qingluan listened to her words, her heart moved, and a hope was ignited.

"Forgive me for being rude, and ask your nobles to open the curtain and be examined." Lu Xiao was half-convinced, half-believing, half-bent over, still unwilling to make concessions.

"What a dog's guts, dare to offend the queen!" The woman snorted coldly and pulled up the gap that was only visible to one person, "Commander Lu take a good look, but what doubts do you have?" ”

Lu Xiao raised his head cautiously, and when he saw it, he looked like he had been struck by lightning, and immediately knelt down and saluted the carriage respectfully: "The queen mother spared her life, she was humble and clumsy, and she didn't recognize it as the queen mother's luan." ”

The other forbidden soldiers also knelt down and shouted, "See the queen mother!" ”

"It's all right, get up."

Su Yi's indifferent voice came out of the carriage: "Those who don't know are not guilty, Commander Lu is sitting on duty, and the palace will not blame you." ”

"I wonder where the queen is going on this trip?"

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Xiao hurriedly got up, and took the forbidden army beside him and handed him a notebook for recording.

Sitting in the carriage, although he didn't see him, his low and gentle voice had a majesty that could not be denied: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, and the palace will rush to the Shuiyue Nunnery outside the city overnight to pray for the Queen Mother. ”

"What the queen said is very true, it is the negligence of Weichen!"

When Lu Xiao heard this, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately raised his hand to signal the forbidden army to open the city gate: "Open the city gate and let the queen mother go!" ”

The city gate slowly opened, and the groom was about to whip the horse, only to hear Su Yi stop him: "Wait!" ”

Lu Xiao was stunned, and Su Yi continued: "The palace suddenly remembered that this trip was in a hurry, and I didn't bring the Lotus Sutra and pearls, so you should go back to the palace to get them immediately." ”

In the distance, Luo Qingluan watched Pearl get out of the carriage, and glanced in their direction as if intentionally or unintentionally, and she suddenly felt happy in her heart.

Su Yi knew that she had plans to go out of the city, so it must not be a coincidence that she would appear at this time, if they could contact Su Yi through the pearl and have her identity to help, they would be able to follow Luan out of the city logically.

Luo Qingluan raised his index finger and made a gesture of boos to the crowd, and quietly retreated into the alley with them.

"The Queen Mother may be able to help us get out of the capital, this is our only chance." She said to everyone, "You guys stay here first, and Leng Li and I will go to find the pearl." ”

Leng Li took Changyi in her arms, and the two rushed to the place where Pearl left, and soon saw Pearl's figure, walking very slowly in front. Looking at her appearance, it didn't look like she had an imperial decree on her body at all, and the premonition in Luo Qingluan's heart became stronger and stronger.

"Pearls."

Luo Qingluan didn't dare to startle the snake, and called tentatively, Pearl was shocked and immediately turned around, and when she saw Luo Qingluan, she was suddenly surprised: "Princess Chu, the slave is waiting for you, Niangniang is really accurate." ”

Not surprised by Luo Qingluan's appearance, Pearl quickly ran over to give a salute: "There are many people here, and it is not a place to talk. ”

She led the two to a tailor shop in a nearby dark alley, and then said: "The slave maid has been waiting for Princess Chu for a long time, please Princess Chu hurry up and change her clothes, our mother is still waiting to take Princess Chu out of the city." ”

Su Yi is really here to help her!

Luo Qingluan was happy in his heart, with Su Yi's help, they would be able to leave the capital smoothly.

"If you are wronged Princess Chu and pretend to be a palace person, you can go out of the city with the queen." After Pearl finished speaking, she knocked on the counter where no one was around, and a woman walked out.

Pearl and the woman exchanged codes, and made a gesture of invitation to Luo Qingluan: "Please Princess Chu come with the slave." ”

Luo Qingluan bowed, looked back at Leng Li and said, "You go back immediately and bring everyone over." ”

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Luo Qingluan had already gotten into Su Yi's carriage, and the rest of the people dressed up as palace people and went out of the city smoothly.

The carriage drove slowly on the official road, all the way forward, Luo Qingluan sat in the car, and sighed with emotion in his heart.

Sure enough, we still see the truth in adversity, and we see people's hearts over time.

Once the queen mother was pregnant and asked for a child, she worked hard to make her wish come true, but now...... The queen mother will not hesitate to attack her for the sake of the West Chu Jiangshan. And Su Yi is just friends with her, but she can take a great risk to help her.

Maybe it's not that you repay virtue with resentment, but that some people are inherently different.

With a light sigh, Luo Qingluan hugged her son tightly and showed a warm smile to Su Yi, which was not only a thank you to her, but also a comfort to her. I hope Su Yi wouldn't worry too much about them, Luo Qingluan smiled faintly and said: "Su Yi, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be able to get out of the city today!" ”

She was sincerely grateful to Su Yi, if it weren't for her help this time, the group of them would only be able to get out of the city by breaking through and killing the forbidden army.

But that is very dangerous, and if the movement is too big, it will easily attract more forbidden troops, and the consequences will be endless.

Su Yi saw Luo Qingluan's grateful appearance, and held her hand intimately: "It's nothing, a friend, I should help you, besides, this palace doesn't believe that the King of Chu will rebel at all." This palace usually has a good relationship with you, and I don't know what kind of character you and wife are! ”
