When they arrived, they found that Liu Feng was not in the yard. The little girl went up and said, "Young miss, young master just said that if young miss came looking for us, let young miss go to the bamboo forest at the back."
After Xuanyuan Yu heard this. He headed straight for the bamboo forest at the back. There was only the rustling sound of the wind in the vast bamboo forest. Xuanyuan Yu was a bit confused. How was she supposed to find such a large piece of land? Occasionally, there would be a lot of maidservants passing by.
Xuanyuan Yu was deep in thought. Someone suddenly covered her mouth and dragged her aside.
Xuanyuan Yu was shocked. Just when he was afraid. Suddenly he heard him say, "Don't shout, it's me."
Xuanyuan Yu only relaxed after hearing Liu Feng's voice. Seeing the smile on Liu Feng's face, Xuanyuan Yu became a bit angry. "You scared me to death. Can't you just call me over?"
Seeing her angry look, Liu Feng laughed softly: "Shh! I really didn't mean to. "You come with me." As he finished speaking, he pulled Xuanyuan Yu to the center of the bamboo forest.
Xuanyuan Yu couldn't help but open her eyes wide. She still didn't know that there was such a place in the Prime Minister's Estate. There was a small house and a river around here. Most importantly, it seemed to be an array formation, making it impossible for normal people to enter. She had been here for so long, yet she didn't know there was such a place in the Prime Minister's Estate. Then he asked, "Where is this place?
Liu Feng looked at Xuanyuan Yu's deep emotions and then laughed, "Other than the matriarch, my father, second uncle, and third uncle, no one else knows that the bamboo forest here looks like an ornament, but it is actually an array formation. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to do it. "
Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head. "Then how did you know?"
Liu Feng's expression suddenly became embarrassed. He started to stutter.
Seeing his expression, Xuanyuan Yu began to feel that it was strange. Soon after, she began to laugh. Seeing his appearance, she couldn't help but tease him a bit, "You couldn't have been eavesdropping on the Lord's speech, right?"
Liu Feng uneasily coughed twice: "That I didn't intentionally eavesdrop, I just happened to overhear it." Seeing Xuanyuan Yu's disbelieving expression, Liu Feng coughed twice and quickly changed the topic. "Come over here and take a look at this. As you're talking, bring out that bamboo chop."
Xuanyuan Yu looked at Bamboo Chop and was pleasantly surprised. "You've done it. I was originally planning on doing it with you, but you've done it yourself." As he spoke, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
Liu Feng smiled magnanimously: "It's nothing. How can I let a girl do something like this."
Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled.
Liu Feng said, "I just thought about it, it would be best if we go later. But it can't be too late, because it's easy to get attention when it's too late. "
Xuanyuan Yu also nodded her head, her brows tightly knitted together. What she was most worried about was this. There were too many people at the Prime Minister's Estate, and she didn't know how many of them were the empress dowager and the emperor. If they were able to attract attention by rowing a boat, that would be the most troublesome.
He then looked at Liu Feng: "What good idea do you have?"
Liu Feng also shook his head, "This is something I had not expected for the time being."
Xuanyuan Yu's frown deepened. At the beginning, he only thought of how to deal with the soldiers, but he did not think of how not to be found out. If he was found out by someone, he would probably be caught before he could get out.
Liu Feng directly sat down.
Xuanyuan Yu saw that Liu Feng had sat down and frowned.
However, Liu Feng smiled indifferently: "Sit down. At this time, why pay so much attention to me? My life is almost up, why pay attention to me? Sit down and think."
Xuanyuan Yu also sat down and stared blankly at the river.
Xuanyuan Yu filtered all the possible things into her mind. "If we leave now, we'll be discovered very quickly. If we left at dinner, it would have been more chaotic. When people come and go, it is easy to be discovered. If we leave at night, it will be in the dead of the night. If we row on it, it is also easy to be discovered. And then I looked at Liu Feng, the least number of people have passed by that place in the house. "
Liu Feng's mind was also in a mess, but he still said: "East." But that direction doesn't go through the moat. Even if we do, we'll still have to go through it. I can only waste my time. "
Xuanyuan Yu was somewhat dispirited, which meant that this was the only path.
Liu Feng became depressed, "I already said it won't work. "If it's possible, then my father, second uncle, and third uncle will all do it!"
However, Xuanyuan Yu was a bit unwilling. Heaven never bars one's way. She did not believe that she would die here. He said to Liu Feng, "Don't disturb me, wait for me to think it over."
Liu Feng turned his head to the side and looked straight at the sky.
Xuanyuan Yu was in a state of confusion.
Xuanyuan Yu thought for a while before a sudden thought struck her, "Tell me, when is it that people most do not want to move?"
Liu Feng looked at her, not knowing what to say.
Xuanyuan Yu gave a bright smile, "So, after dinner, we'll start rowing."
Liu Feng was stunned: "What, after dinner"?
Hearing Liu Feng say such unsophisticated words, he couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, dinner is over."
Liu Feng couldn't help but twitch his mouth, "Do you know? It's dark now, but there were a lot of people at that time. Isn't it courting death if we choose that time?"
Xuanyuan Yu laughed again, "What I want is that effect. If we leave now, it goes without saying that we will be discovered. If we leave too late, we will easily be discovered. It was too late, and there weren't many people on the moat. So the best way is. "
Liu Feng thought about it for a moment and then frowned. "No, this is too risky."
Xuanyuan Yu's eyebrows furrowed. "I don't have any other way. If we don't do this, I really don't know how we're going to escape."
Liu Feng turned his head and saw the little girl beside him. He frowned at her. He couldn't help but comfort, "I'll listen to you. At worst, I'll just throw my life away."
Xuanyuan Yu's face blossomed into a smile. "Alright, let's do it."
Time passed minute by minute. There was still no movement from the surroundings. Xuanyuan Yu and Liu Feng were both lying on bamboo. The sky began to darken.
The two held their breath. Xuanyuan Yu and Liu Feng both carefully looked at the time, and could still hear the bustling sounds coming from outside. It was about time for them to eat. After the time had passed, they looked at each other.
"Do it." Xuanyuan Yu said.
Liu Feng nodded. The two of them pushed the bamboo raft into the river together. Everyone was eating now. According to the rules of the Prime Minister's Estate, the master ate the food, and then the servant. Plus, it was already autumn, a season as cold as winter, and the sky was already dark. He could only hope that no one would notice them.
As soon as the two got on the boat, they started rowing with all their might. The beginning had been rather smooth, but after drawing for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Xuanyuan Yu bit her lips. Right now, it was a crucial point. It was already the time when there were the most people.
The two men paddled forward with all their might. He was about to leave the Prime Minister's residence. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting, "There's someone on the boat! Some people are trying to escape!"
Xuanyuan Yu cursed silently in her heart, "Not good." Although she did not know who shouted this, but right now, more and more people were gathering on the shore. Xuanyuan Yu bit her lips and said to Liu Feng, "Right now, quickly lean on the shore.
Liu Feng nodded.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a bow and arrow flying towards him.
Xuanyuan Yu's expression became even more anxious. "We really shouldn't act in secret. "But now, he died in front of his own family before he even got out."
More and more bows and arrows appeared. Now there was a fire.
"Be careful!" Liu Feng directly threw Xuanyuan Yu under him. An arrow flew over.
Xuanyuan Yu secretly let out a sigh.
He was not far from the shore now. Xuanyuan Yu asked, "Can you swim?"
Liu Feng nodded. However, his brows furrowed even more. "The river is so cold these days …"
Before he could finish his sentence, more arrows were already shooting at him. Both of them fell into the river.
A burst of water, bone-chilling cold, swept out. Xuanyuan Yu felt like she was frozen solid. Although it was autumn, it was almost winter. This season was really unbearable.
However, he gritted his teeth and his mouth was filled with air as he tried his best to hold onto the bamboo chops. He paddled desperately towards the shore. Suddenly, he felt a sense of relief. On the other side, Liu Feng also pushed his bamboo row forward. The two of them pushed the bamboo raft to the shore in tacit understanding. Xuanyuan Yu awkwardly went ashore. The water on his body was bone-chilling cold.
Liu Feng also came up and worriedly looked at Xuanyuan Yu as he said, "Are you alright?"
Xuanyuan Yu vigorously nodded her head. "I'm fine." Looking at the rows of people on the other side, the soldiers and guards were all holding bows and arrows. Xuanyuan Yu let out a sigh of relief, "They won't be able to shoot us over. Let's continue walking!"!
Liu Feng nodded his head, and the two got back on the boat and started rowing again.
"Mistress, what should we do now?"
Liu Shixuan's face was gloomy, "They won't be able to escape. "Keep chasing."
"Yes." At the order, the men moved to the side of the river.
"Big Brother, in your opinion, could it be that the Empress Dowager sent them this time?"
Liu Shixuan nodded. "We can't rule out that possibility. Right now, the Prime Minister's residence and the soldiers outside are on the verge of exploding. It's hard to say if the empress dowager sent people to investigate."
Liu Hao shook his head in disapproval. "If the empress dowager had sent them, they could have left from the outside. There was no need to row."
Liu Zhi also nodded, "What third brother said makes sense. Could it be that someone else sent them?"
If this was the past, they definitely wouldn't have believed that so many spies from the Prime Minister's Estate would come here. However, everything that was happening now made them doubt everything that had happened in the past.
