C145

The two of them galloped on their horses for an entire day, and only when the sky was about to turn dark did they slow down and find an inn to rest in.

For the sake of safety, Yun Ruo Lu had JIN Se share a room with her so that she wouldn't be ambushed by an assassin.

After dinner, Yun Ruo Lu went back to her room and spread out a map, planning out the route for the next day.

Jinx stood at the side and rested his hands on the table in boredom. He looked at the route on the map and sighed, "Young Master, there are so many good places to go to. Why do we have to go to some of the wilderness?"

"What do you know? If we get caught, wouldn't it be a waste of our time? "

Yun Ruo tapped Jin Se's head, and continued looking at the map. Because the western part of the Yuchi Dynasty was poor, the roads were very narrow and there were many forests. But precisely because of this, it was convenient for them to hide and flee.

"But Young Master, why did we choose this time to escape? If that's the case, then wouldn't it mean that the matter of the Meng Clan's concubine being mischievous would fall upon your head? I think the people from the Duke Palaces would think that we were just running away out of guilt. "

It wasn't that she hadn't thought of the Yunruo that Jinsi mentioned, but that she couldn't explain it to him clearly. She believed that the red calyx would not harm her, since the red calyx let her leave, there must be a reason.

"I've made up my mind. Let's go to this place!"

Yun Ruo pointed at a black dot on the map, beside it were two big words, 'Cloud City'!

Jin Se craned her neck to take a look and immediately felt deflated. She said with a sullen face, "Really? Young master, this Cloud City is a place far from the emperor, and I heard that officials and bandits colluded with each other, making it extremely chaotic. "

"With me here, there's no need to be afraid of anything!"

Yun Ruo Man slapped her chest confidently. This city was similar to the Immortal Island that Yuchi Chen had visited. The surrounding mountains were sealed off, but if someone were to hide here, it would be difficult to find them within a year.

Maybe she could find the life she wanted in that place. Away from the struggle, carefree, free, all the great rivers and mountains, to help some people in need.

After the route was set, the two put out the lights and rested.

Yun Ruo lay on the bed, but could not fall asleep. She suddenly remembered the letter she had seen in Yuchi Chen's study.

She didn't believe that Yuchi Chen would kill her over Meng Fei'er. Could it be that the danger mentioned by Redbud had something to do with that letter?

No matter who got the letter, as long as the emperor knew that Yuchi Chen had secretly dispatched troops, it would be a heinous crime.

But no matter what, since she had already decided to leave, she would no longer care about what was going on, and she did not have the ability to care about it either.

Yun Ruo Lu did not think anymore, and slept for a while. The sky was still dark, so she pulled Jinsi along and continued on her journey.

The place they wanted to go wasn't very far. It was just that the mountain road was difficult to traverse and required a lot of time, but as long as they reached Cloud City, they would be safe.

The two of them continued on their journey under the weak moonlight. Although Jin Se felt tired, she did not dare to shout out loud. Instead, she asked curiously: "Young master, we're starting our journey so early. Are you worried that we'll encounter those assassins?"

Although Jinsi was usually a bit confused, he was not stupid. Furthermore, his mind was also very flexible, so sometimes, his analysis of the situation was very accurate.

The person Yun Ruo Lu was most worried about wasn't being chased by Yuchi Chen's men, but rather, it was those assassins of unknown origins.

Even if Yuchi Chen's men found them, they wouldn't harm them. However, this group of assassins was different. They were here for their lives.

If she were to meet dozens of experts on her own now, it would be difficult for her to deal with them.

"It's good that you know this. We have to get to Cloud City before the sun sets today!"

After Yun Ruo Lu finished speaking, she waved her whip again, and without further ado, she followed closely behind.

By noon, the sun was high in the sky. Although it was almost winter, the two still couldn't bear the constant travel.

"Young master, let's rest in the forest over there. Even if we don't, the horses still need some rest."

Jin Se wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a dry mouth.

Yun Ruo Lu raised her gaze and looked at the nearby forest. There was a bush and it was convenient to hide, so she nodded in agreement.

"Good!" Let's rest for the time it takes to burn an incense before we continue our journey! "

The two of them went into the forest and tied up the horses. Then, they casually sat on the grass to rest.

"Young master, the water we brought has already been drunk. I'll go nearby to look for water."

Jinx shook the empty water bag and got ready to go get some water, but was stopped by Yun Ruo Lu and advised, "Forget it, I'm not thirsty. I'm worried about you going alone."

Hearing Yun Ruo's words, Jin Se could only give up. The two of them rested while leaning against a tree. Not long later, they heard the voice of an old uncle from not too far away.

"Selling grapefruit, big, sweet grapefruit."

Hearing the sound of grapefruit being sold, Jinsi immediately opened her eyes and pushed open the bushes beside her. Seeing an old uncle carrying a grapefruit, she immediately stood up in excitement and shouted to the old man, "Old man! "How much are you selling grapefruit?"

"Three coins for one! No money, no money!"

The white-bearded uncle laughed at Jinsi, then carried Youzi over to them.

Yun Ruo Lu was not fast asleep, and didn't pay much attention to it. It was only when Jinsi started to pick out the grapefruit that she suddenly realized, how could an old uncle sell grapefruit here in the wilderness?

Thinking of this, Yun Ruo Lu immediately stood up, holding the dagger tightly in her hand, and shouted to Jin Se: "Jin'er, come back immediately!"

Yun Ruo Lu's tone was extremely serious, even serious with her orders. She was so surprised by Jin Se, who was happily choosing the grapefruit, and the grapefruit in her hand tumbled to the ground.

"Young master, what's wrong?"

Hearing Yun Ruo Lu's tone, the Jin Se didn't dare to disobey, and could only walk towards her side while inquiring about the situation.

Yun Ruo Lu did not answer the question, but stared at the old uncle selling the grapefruit.

Although that old uncle looked white-haired, with wrinkles all over his face and a long beard that was arched on his back, there was one thing that Yun Ruo Lu saw through.

It was that old man's hand. He seemed to be in his twenties. An old man in his sixties who looked like he had the hands of a man in his twenties? That was so funny!

However, she wasn't clear about the background of the fight, so she didn't expose it immediately. Instead, she said coldly, "Uncle, we don't need Youzi. You can go."

Sensing the cold intent from Yun Ruo Man's body, Jin Se knew that something was amiss. She no longer spoke, and instead observed quietly.

The atmosphere immediately froze. The old man laughed dryly and continued to ask, "My lord, why don't you want a good one?" Three pieces of money is not expensive at all, and if it's not sweet, I promise I won't take your money. "

After the old man finished speaking, he took out a slender fruit knife from the basket, broke open the grapefruit, and happily walked towards them.

Yun Ruo Man ignored him, and before the old uncle could get close, she said to the woman beside her, "Let's go!"

Just as the two were about to mount their horses and leave, there was a sudden disturbance in the surrounding woods. A dozen saber-wielding men came from all directions and surrounded the two of them in a threatening manner.

As for the old man, he threw away the sleeve in his hand and pulled at the human skin mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.

"I want to go from Wolf Mountain and leave behind all the money I need to buy the way!"

Yun Ruo Lu did not panic, but calmly observed the people surrounding them. They were just a bunch of ordinary bandits, so it wasn't hard to deal with them.

The person who pretended to be an uncle was a young man in his twenties. From the looks of it, he should be the boss of this group of bandits.

"Young master, what should we do?"

She was very clear about Yun Ruo Lu's ability, so in the face of this current situation, she didn't show too much fear.

This wasn't the first time Yun Ruo Lu had encountered bandits, so she naturally had her own ways.

Yun Ruo Lu calmly took off her bag from the horse and said to the young man: "You want the money for the road, right? "Since you're already here, come and get it if you have the ability!"

If this young man was the boss of this group of bandits, she was sure that he would personally come to get it. This was because in front of so many subordinates, if he did not even have this little bit of courage, how could he be the boss?

The young man hesitated for a moment, thinking that with so many of his men, even if there was a trick involved, it was unlikely they would be able to escape. He then went forward and extended his hand to receive the bundle.

Unexpectedly, the moment his hand touched the bundle, he was ecstatic to the point that he couldn't even see what was going on. A cold dagger appeared on his neck.

Yun Ruo snorted coldly. This was called capturing the king first and the bandits first. If they captured this person, no one would dare to do anything to them.

"Boss!"

Seeing that their boss had been captured, the others were no longer able to maintain their calm. They all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Although he was captured within a single move, the young man did not appear to be flustered. Instead, he laughed without a care, "This young master has great martial arts, I am impressed!"

"All of you are young, and have good hands and feet, yet are doing this thing to steal people! "Don't you have a conscience and family?"

Yun Ruo Lang, who wanted to get what he wanted without working hard, scoffed. Even if being a laborer was also a way of survival, he still wanted to be a bandit and harm the people.

"You're wrong!" We do not have family, but we do have a conscience! "

Hearing Yun Ruo Lu's words, one of the bandits angrily stood up and retorted.

"As bandits, you still have the nerve to say that you have a conscience? Is your conscience made of stone? "

Seeing that these bandits still dared to retort, Jin Se couldn't hold it in anymore and actually started arguing with them. Immediately, everyone started arguing noisily.
