C2480 Huang Feng Was Here
Princess Qi knew that this was the end of her life. After she left the city, she would leave her hometown. It would be very difficult for her to come back in her lifetime. As for the marriage that she had always wanted, it had become a fantasy.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Princess Qi said, "Huang Feng said that he wanted to protect us. I believe that he will be able to do it. He must be like before, hiding somewhere."
"Yes." Xiao Huan also nodded.
"Pack up and prepare to leave." Princess Qi said.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Princess Qi knew that everyone was packing up and was ready to leave. She did not have much time left here.
Sure enough, not long after, a soldier came to inform Princess Qi and said, "Her Highness the Princess, General Lin's place is ready. Ask when Her Highness the Princess can leave."
"Let's go." Princess Qi said.
In her heart, she did not want to leave. However, even if she could find an excuse to stay here, she wouldn't be able to stay for long. She would have to leave sooner or later. Furthermore, she knew... Lu Yizha and the people from the Fengjue Country were already waiting outside the city. She wouldn't leave. Those people would also urge her to leave. Therefore... It was simply impossible for her to stay.
When Princess Qi and Lu Yizha arrived outside, the people in the queue had already packed up and lined up, waiting for Princess Qi.
"Your Highness, did you rest well last night?" Lin Yu went forward and asked.
"If you don't withdraw the guards, I might have a better rest." Princess Qi said.
Lin Yu felt a little awkward. Yesterday, he withdrew the guards outside Princess Qi and Lu Yizha's residence. It was indeed his mistake and also his mistake. He had almost harmed two people. If there was really an accident between the two of them... Then, he would definitely not have a good ending.
Princess Qi ignored Lin Yu's awkward expression and walked to her own carriage. There was already a "eunuch" waiting for her there.
Princess Qi stretched out her hand. When she usually got on the carriage, she also got on the carriage with the help of the eunuch and palace maid. Today... She also did the same thing. She placed her arm on the arm of the 'eunuch' beside her and borrowed the strength to get into the carriage.
"Your Highness, be careful." The "eunuch" beside her said.
Hearing this voice, Princess Qi was stunned. She was about to step on the stool and get into the carriage, but she immediately stopped. She looked at the "eunuch" at the side in shock. The other party also raised his head at the right time and looked at Princess Qi.
When Princess Qi saw the other party's appearance clearly, her face revealed a shocked expression. It turned into surprise. This "eunuch" was none other than Huang Feng, who had saved her once again yesterday. When she just came out, she was still talking to Xiao Huan. She did not know where Huang Feng was hiding, but she did not expect him to be hiding. The other party had already mixed into the escort team. Furthermore... He even pretended to be a eunuch, standing so close to him.
Huang Feng saw the surprised expression on Princess Qi's face and smiled as well. He winked at her.
Originally, even if Huang Feng did not mix into the family sending team, however, that would not be convenient. Princess Qi's surroundings were protected by many soldiers after all. He could also quietly approach the other party. It was just too troublesome.
Therefore, Huang Feng decided to just sneak into the escort team and forget about it. This way, he would be able to keep an eye on Princess Qi's situation at all times. If the other party was really in danger, he would also be able to know at the first moment.
Since he had promised to escort the team to the Fengjue Country safely, Huang Feng would not be careless. He would definitely do it well.
"Your Highness? Is there something you need?" Lin Yu saw Princess Qi standing there blankly and did not go back into the carriage. He thought that Princess Qi had something to do, but he stood behind her. He did not see the exchange between Princess Qi and Huang Feng's eyes.
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Huang Feng lowered his head and carefully supported Princess Qi. He looked no different from a real eunuch.
"I'm fine." Princess Qi also reacted. She continued to walk up and entered the carriage.
After a series of events, Princess Qi did not trust Lin Yu now. Therefore, he did not want Lin Yu to know about Huang Feng's existence. Furthermore, Huang Feng had disguised himself as a eunuch to get close to her. Obviously, he didn't want others to know about his identity. Therefore, Princess Qi didn't expose Huang Feng.
Lin Yu did not see anything unusual about Princess Qi. After Princess Qi and Xiao Huan entered the carriage, he also mounted the horse. At the front, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The whole group suddenly opened and pulled out the city. At the back of the group, there were some merchants who had been prepared for this. They had been doing this because of the bandits outside the pass. They had already stayed here for a long time. At this moment... Many of them chose to follow behind this team and set off, especially those small merchants... It was even more so.
The profits from coming out of seclusion were great, but the risks were also great. There were quite a number of horse bandits, especially recently, many of them had suddenly appeared. If one was not careful, there was the risk of being killed.
Following behind the family escort team, the family escort team had disguised as their guards. With so many soldiers around, he believed that those horse bandits... This way, they would be able to safely exit seclusion. They would be able to walk a much safer path.
Lin Yu didn't have any objections to this. As long as these people didn't affect his team, it would be fine. After all, these people had secretly given him a lot of gifts. He didn't mind giving them a ride along the way. Anyway, he didn't suffer any losses, so he didn't have to do anything special. Those gifts were all his extra money.
"Aren't we going with them?" In the restaurant, the few merchants who were sitting not far away from Huang Feng. At this moment, they were standing not far away from the street, watching the huge group slowly leave the city. However, they did not have any intention of leaving with them. They were one of the few people in the city. The merchants who did not follow the escort team left.2
However, this suggestion to not leave with them was suggested by one of them. That person was the one who analyzed the situation outside the pass, and everyone trusted him. Thus, they agreed with his opinion. However... Some people were still uncertain when they saw the others leave with them.
"We can't leave." That person shook his head and said.
"Why? Wouldn't it be safer to follow such a team? Which blind horse bandit would come and attack such a group? " Someone asked doubtfully.
"Ordinary horse bandits naturally wouldn't dare, but did you forget what I said before? The horse bandits outside the pass are not ordinary horse bandits, and it is very likely that they are disguised by the soldiers of the surrounding countries. What is their goal? It was this group of people who sent their relatives to the city last night. You all know, although those people still failed in the end. But as long as they have foresight, they won't give up so easily. This team won't be peaceful along the way. Do you think it's safe to follow behind them? " That person analyzed.
Everyone was silent. If this person's guess was correct, the journey of this family sending team would definitely not be easy. It was almost certain that they would be attacked, but those who had come to attack them... They would not let them go just because the people behind the team were merchants. They would definitely not mind killing them.
As for the escort team, it would be good if they agreed to let these merchants follow them. It was impossible to waste manpower and material resources to protect those merchants. And because of that, once they were attacked on the way, those merchants who followed along would be in danger.
"Do you still think that following the team is a safe way?" The man asked.
Everyone shook their heads. It was clear that following the group was much more dangerous than walking alone.
"I estimate that a battle will break out very soon outside the pass. The escort team is an important target to attract the mounted bandits. When they are done fighting, once the escort team is far away from here, it will be safe outside the pass. " The man said.
"That's right, you're very thoughtful"
"That's right, now that I think about it, I'm still scared. If we follow them out of the city, I'm afraid we'll really be in danger."
"Yes, yes. Fortunately, we listened to you this time. Come, let's go to the restaurant. I'll treat you today."
"Haha, those people have all left. The restaurant should be quite empty. Let's have a good drink today. It won't be too late for us to come out of seclusion after they are done fighting!"
"Let's go!"
The few of them walked happily on the empty street, heading straight for the restaurant.
"Xiao Huan, Xiao Huan, guess who I saw just now?" In the carriage, Princess Qi said to Xiao Huan with a face full of excitement. That excited look was completely different from the distressed look from before. Princess Qi's entire body became relaxed.
"Who is it?" Xiao Huan looked at the excited Princess Qi with some doubt and then she suddenly said, Who is it?" Oh, could it be Huang..."
"It's him." Princess Qi impatiently said, "He is now by our carriage."
"Where is he? Where is he?" Xiao Huan said happily. After all, Huang Feng had saved them twice. With such a super expert by their side, both of them felt very safe.
"Come here." Princess Qi said to Xiao Huan.
After that, Princess Qi slowly lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage. Outside of the carriage, there was a person wearing the eunuch uniform walking with the carriage.
Perhaps he felt that someone was looking at him, that person turned his head to look in the direction of the carriage. Xiao Huan and Princess Qi, who were inside the carriage, also saw that familiar face.
"Really..." Xiao Huan almost cried out in surprise but she quickly reacted and quickly covered her mouth. Princess Qi also put down the curtain.
