Chapter 281 - : Death, Nan Xun Is Furious (1/2)
Gong Shiqi said with a deep voice, “Don’t talk anymore, I’ll take you out of here right away. Gong Da and the others want to deal with you privately, it’ll be too late if you don’t leave now.”
“But—”
“Gong Shijiu! Are you still thinking about the Lord now? Don’t you know that you’re going to die if you don’t run now?” Gong Shiqi angrily said.
Nan Xun fell silent. Since Gong Da was plotting against her, and now that Gong Moran wouldn’t wake up for a while, she indeed has to escape first.
Gong Shiqi seemed to have been prepared for a long time that he actually conjured two sets of eunuch uniform out.
The two changed their clothes, and with a token to leave the palace with them, their journey out was quite smooth.
As soon as they left the palace gate, Gong Shiqi took out two sets of casual clothes that had been hidden outside the palace gate, and then bought a carriage in such a familiar way.
Nan Xun was stunned for a while, she was surprised, “Shiqi, you…”
Gong Shiqi grinned at her with his white teeth, his smile became brighter than ever when he looked at her, “Little rice bucket, Brother Gan will run away with you.” [T/N: Gan is Shiqi’s real surname]
The carriage chose a shortcut and left the imperial city gate within an hour.
When they left the city gate, Gong Shiqi waved the long whip and drove the carriage to a small road, dirt spattered wherever the carriage went.
Nan Xun sat on the bumpy carriage, tears streaming down her face.
She had just gone through a fierce soy sauce making last night, and today she had to flee for her life with this broken body.
The pain in her body really was…hard to explain in a few words.
The crux of the matter was, she was really worried that she and Gong Shiqi couldn’t escape from this predicament.
As expected, the carriage went on for less than two hours before Nan Xun heard hooves of horses behind them.
Little Eight immediately reported, “Gong Da brought ten Moran Hall’s disciples to chase after you. According to this grandpa’s observation, you guys can’t escape even if given wings this time.”
Nan Xun cursed under her breath, “Little Eight, your mouth is so inauspicious.”
Little Eight sobbed, “I’m just telling the truth.”
Gong Shiqi suddenly stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and asked her, “Shijiu, can your body stand a bit of more bumping?”
Nan Xun reluctantly nodded.
Gong Shiqi abandoned the carriage and hugged Nan Xun on top of the big horse.
“Shijiu, hold the horse’s neck!” Gong Shiqi ordered, holding the rein with his right hand while whipping the whip with his left hand, “Go—”
Nan Xun hugged the horse’s neck with a distorted expression.
“Little Eight, buy one pill on credit, I really have no energy now.”
Little Eight ‘huh?’ and asked, “Dear da, where are you hurt?”
Nan Xun’s face blackened, “Where do you think?”
Little Eight mumbled an ‘oh’ in hindsight, “Wait a bit.”
In the next second, Nan Xun kept a pill in her mouth as it melted quickly. She felt refreshed just after taking it, and her strength was mostly restored.
The sound of horse hooves getting closer made Nan Xun’s expression fell, she thought again and again and suddenly said, “Shiqi, I don’t think we can escape from them, how about you go first? They only want to catch me.”
Gong Shiqi’s face sank at once, “Little rice bucket, I said that I want to protect you. I’m your Brother Gan, how can a brother watch his sister die?”
Nan Xun, “Shiqi, don’t be like this, I can actually—”
“Shut up!”
Nan Xun lowered her eyes and frowned.
