C15 Escape

His life was hanging by a thread.

Whether she was dead or alive, it all depended on that single thought.

Pui, that's not it!

Since when did her life belong to someone else?

Ling Qingyi jumped up from the ground and took advantage of the moment when Chu Mou Han was the least alert to throw him down on the ground, and quickly pressed down on his acupuncture points.

Chu Mu Han didn't even seem to realize what was going on as he closed his eyes heavily and fell into a deep sleep.

Ling Qingyi let out a long breath, and sat on the ground as if she was relieved of a heavy burden.

He was scared to death.

It was already late, and the sky had already turned white. If he did not leave now, he would not be able to escape.

Ling Qingyi hurriedly grabbed a few treasures and carried them on her body as she escaped from the warehouse. While the guards were unprepared, she used her lightness skills to cross the high wall of the Third Marquis' Residence.

He had finally escaped!

Ling Qingyi really wanted to stand in front of the Third Marquis' Mansion and laugh out loud in order to vent the frustration in her heart.

She found a tree and slept on it for a while.

While he was still half asleep, he was still thinking about other things.

The origin of that red dress was indeed strange, it didn't seem like it was written by the empress, and Chu Muhan couldn't reveal his scar either.

Could it be … There were still third parties in the palace who had yet to show their faces?

When the sky completely brightened, Ling Qingyi could faintly hear the noise of the crowd. Only then did she jump down from the tree and stretch her back in satisfaction.

She fished out some silver and decided to go for breakfast to reward her hungry stomach.

The Xi Chen Country was always open to the public, so no one thought it was strange for Ling Qingyi to go out alone.

When Ling Qingyi had just sat down in the teahouse, she had heard several people passionately discussing amongst themselves …

"Something big happened in the capital last night."

"Why?"

"A lot of people saw a white shadow scuttling around on the roof. In the end, we arrived at Uncle Guo's home and completely frightened him. "

The man laughed gloatingly.

"Uncle Guo has committed many evil deeds. I'm afraid even the heavens don't like him, so they must have sent a hero to take his life."

"Humans have their own way of life!"

At this moment, another person walked in from outside, patting the table in excitement.

"Latest news! Uncle was having sex with little Qing'er last night, and he got so shocked. "He's done for!"

"Hahaha, good!"

The air was filled with cheerful laughter.

A foreigner like Ling Qingyi did not understand much when she heard this. It seemed like her uncle's evaluation of the people was very poor.

However … A white shadow!

Ling Qingyi stopped pinching the bun.

Could it be her senior?

Flute Luo was a fool who walked down the mountain to save her. He had taken the wrong path and accidentally trespassed into her uncle's residence …

Ling Qingyi shook her head vigorously. No, it couldn't be so coincidental.

"The Third Marquis has recently gotten married, and the one he married is still a princess of the Southern Kingdom."

"Third Marquis? "Which one is this?"

"Hey, have you forgotten that? Imperial Concubine Jiang's son! " That person winked and said, "That's the Seventh Princess' consort that His Majesty forcibly seized all those years ago!"

"So it's him!" Another person suddenly realized. "What a pity. Seventh Princess was the number one beauty in the history of Xi Chen. The son she gave birth to must have looked pretty good."

"I wonder what the Southern Kingdom's princess looks like. If she can't even compare to her husband, then that would be really embarrassing!"

"Pa Da, the chopsticks in Ling Qingyi's hand fell to the ground.

She stooped and picked it up, her expression unchanged.

Hehe, she really thought that Chu Mu Han told her some unknown secret about the palace. In the end, everyone knew about it?

To think that she was really worried about him. If he really wanted to capture her and kill her, what would she do?

Ling Qingyi contentedly finished her breakfast, and just as she was about to pat her butt and leave, the shop suddenly became restless.

A group of officers and soldiers barged in ferociously, grabbing those who were just gossiping about the uncle of the country.

"It's them? To dare slander the reputation of our uncle, arrest him and bring him away! "

The people who were still in high spirits a moment ago instantly turned pale.

"Please spare my life, please spare my life, I really didn't say that!"

The soldier coldly snorted and repeated what he had just said.

"You still dare to say that you didn't say?"

The man's face turned white, his legs went limp, and he was dragged away by the soldiers.

The soldiers looked around the shop and carefully checked everyone's faces, without exception.

When it was Ling Qingyi's turn, the time on her face was longer than the rest.

"This little woman looks quite familiar."

Ling Qingyi feigned a timid look, and was so scared that she could not speak.

One of his colleagues quipped.

"You didn't think of such a crappy way to strike up a conversation because you had a crush on this little girl, did you?"

"Don't spout nonsense, it would ruin the innocence of a young lady." The soldiers were rather righteous and honest, "Let's go, let's go. We've captured all of them."

Like a tornado, the soldiers left again.

For a long time, the entire shop was silent. No one dared to speak.

Roughly a quarter of an hour later, the clamoring resumed.

They were both talking about gossip, but the people who were discussing about the emperor were safe and sound. Instead, all of the people who were discussing about the country's uncles were arrested.

Ling Qingyi could not help but lament. Uncle-in-law's power was even greater than the emperor's …

She pulled a passing waiter and asked in a low voice.

"Waiter, was that group of officials Uncle's personal guards just now?"

The waiter probably saw that she was a girl, so he wasn't too wary of her.

"Is the little lady an outsider? The group of officials were the imperial court's Wyvern Guards, and their robes were all covered in the inscriptions of the Black Dragon. The right to conduct a patrol and arrest. "Please be careful when you speak to me in the capital, don't try to overestimate your uncle. If the Wyvern Guards catch me red-handed, it can be-"

He made a gesture of rubbing his neck.

Ling Qingyi was a little depressed, "Thank you for your advice, I will definitely be extremely careful."

The Thief God Sect was located in the outskirts of the capital, at Phoenix Cry Mountain. However, from Ling Qingyi's memories till now, she had never come to the capital to play.

Her master did not allow her to go to the capital, saying that she was no different from other places. She was not as rich as Jiangnan, and she was surrounded by rich people like Ling Qingyi, who could easily lose her life.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she had made a bet with her senior brother to come to the capital.

Ling Qingyi went to the antique market in the east market and intended to try her luck. She wanted to see if she could find any good treasures, so she did not come here for nothing.

Who knew that when she squatted down on a broken rock and asked the stall owner for advice and haggling, that group of Wyvern Guards wearing Dark Veins Black Dragon robes once again aggressively appeared at the entrance of the antique market, searching door by door, as if looking for someone.

Could it be that someone had spoken ill of the country's uncles?

Ling Qingyi was puzzled, but she still had a bad feeling about this.
