Chapter 21 (1/2)
Murong Zhining and Caisang just walked out of the gate of the general's mansion, ”brushing” flashed two white lights, two steel swords in front of them. The two guards at the gate held knives and stared at them fiercely.
Murong Zhining and Caisang are escorted back to the yard by the bodyguard. Caisang sits at the stone table, holding his cheek in frustration, and looks at the opposite Murong Zhining. Murong Zhining also looked at Caisang with her hand on her cheek: ”I forgot that there would be someone at the gate of the general's mansion. We can think of other ways. By the way, next time we go over the wall. ” Caisang nodded his head hard: ”HMM.”.
The gate of the courtyard was kicked from the outside with a loud bang. Caisang screamed in horror and shrank behind Murong Zhining.
Chiyun Yuexuan, like a infernal Shura, walked into the courtyard with a whip in his hand. There was no emotion in his long, narrow and charming eyes, only a fierce and frightening light, followed by several bodyguards.
Chiyun Yuexuan said nothing, but took the whip in his hand and drew it to Murong Zhining. Caisang exclaimed, and rushed to the front to protect Murong Zhining with her body. Chiyun Yuexuan kicks Caisang down with a ferocious kick. The whip and raindrops fall on Murong Zhining. Caisang cries and gets up again, protecting in front of Murong Zhining.
Chiyun Yuexuan collected the whip in his hand, and his voice was cold: ”this time it's just a small lesson. If there's another time, it's the end of the game...” He waved the whip out of his hand and wrapped it around a nearby tree with thick arms. He turned his hand back to the area, and the tree was uprooted and fell to the ground.
Caisang shivers with fear, holding Murong Zhining tightly. After chiyun Yuexuan left, Caisang painstakingly wiped the ointment for Murong Zhining. Fortunately, chiyun Yuexuan just wanted to frighten them, but he didn't have a very heavy hand.
Picking mulberry side wipe medicine side scold: ”animal.”. The emperor is not willing to move a finger Murong Zhining has a raised whip trace on her face. Caisang gently caresses her face and tears fall like beads.
Murong Zhining was not frightened, which strengthened her determination to escape. She told herself that next time she could not be so reckless, she had to make a detailed plan.
In the next few days, Murong Zhining is trying to find a way. Caisang looked at her melancholy: ”otherwise, let's not run away. Let's stay here and scold general Yun. Aren't we not embarrassed?” Murong Zhining's eyes are firm: ”the most important thing for people to live is freedom. There is another thing more important than freedom.” Murong Zhining wants to make her happy by selling a pass to Caisang.
Caisang was eager to know the answer, but didn't want to use his brain, so he asked, ”what is that?” Murong Zhining poked her forehead: ”don't tell you.” Caisang said angrily, ”you'll bully me if I haven't read a book, but I still treat you as a teacher.” Murong Zhining put up her smiling face. Her eyes were red and she looked at Caisang's eyes seriously: ”it's dignity. A man without dignity will live like a beast. A dignified person, even if trampled on by others, has a high head. ” Caisang nodded her head if she understood.
Murong Zhining keeps on planning the escape. Caisang is impressed and moved by her persistence. A few days later, a starry night, Murong Zhining with Caisang began the escape plan.
Since the last escape, the gate has been locked every day. Murong Zhining and Caisang are cutting the bed sheets and cloth curtains into strips and weaving them into rope ladders these days. Murong Zhining threw the rope ladder secretly woven these days on the wall, and the rope ladder was easily and stably hung on the wall. Caisang helped Murong Zhining to the wall first. The inner wall was not too high. They went to the courtyard without much effort.
The outermost wall is not so easy to cross. The wall was too high. The rope ladder was thrown several times, but it didn't hang up. At this time, a guard came to patrol. They squatted down and hid in the bushes.
Caisang was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe and was caught again. She couldn't even think of the consequences.
After the bodyguard left, Caisang patted his chest and gasped heavily. Murong Zhining smiles and shakes her head, then stands up and throws a rope ladder on the wall. Caisang secretly admires Murong Zhining's courage and perseverance. Soon, the rope ladder caught the upturned cornice outside the wall.
Murong Zhining supports Caisang to go up first. She is afraid to put Caisang in the back. Caisang will be afraid. Caisang climbs to half, as expected because is too nervous, a loose hand, ”Gudong” falls down. She just wanted to hum, Murong Zhining covered her mouth.
Murong Zhining silently touched the top of Caisang's head to encourage her to climb up again. Caisang is very competitive this time. She climbed up steadily, rode on the wall and waved to Murong Zhining.
Murong Zhining did not hesitate at all. She learned how to pick mulberry and sat on the top of the wall, throwing the rope ladder to the outer wall. When they stood outside the wall, they realized that they had really escaped from the general's mansion. They held each other in surprise, and soon disappeared into the night hand in hand.
In the morning of the next day, there were two young people with white skin at the gate of the city. They passed the examination smoothly and walked calmly to the official road outside the city, disappearing at the end of the road.
Murong Zhining and Caisang are dressed in men's clothes, running and laughing freely in the fields. They haven't seen the outside world for several years. They are as happy as two birds that have just escaped from the cage. Last night, they wandered in the streets of the city, stole two men's clothes which were hung outside and escaped from Shangjing in disguise.Murong Zhining and Caisang all the way to the people to listen to the direction, fighting noisily to go forward. The next afternoon, they found hetang'ao. Hetang'ao hasn't changed in recent years. They can see Yin's family far away on the hillside.
