Chapter 148 Escape
Pingnan Wang only felt a chill on his back, and fell down.
They happened to be going to a shop around the corner.
The red lanterns hanging high outside the shop exude orange light, blending with the lights in the hands of the servants of the palace walking in front, clearly illuminating the fallen King Pingnan.
Princess Pingnan saw the arrow that sank into King Pingnan's back and the blood that was spreading.
She let out a short, high-pitched scream, and then fell limp.
The servants of the palace carrying the lanterns were shocked, and immediately threw the lanterns, and threw themselves in front of Pingnan Wang and his wife and shouted loudly.
Some of the following guards leaned over to check the situation of King Pingnan, and some drew their swords outward, looking around vigilantly.
At the same time, a black shadow sprang up from nowhere, heading straight for Luo Sheng's hidden direction.
Luo Sheng had expected that King Pingnan would have secret guards accompanying him.
After all, one has reached such a position, and it has been achieved through desperation. There is no one who is not afraid of death.
After shooting the feather arrow, she immediately jumped down from the tree and ran.
The big tree was planted behind a shop facing the street, and when you jumped down, it was a long alley.
She is also familiar with this alley.
The alley is formed by a row of shops facing the street and a row of residential houses with their backs facing each other. There is no door in the alley, so you don’t have to worry about someone suddenly pushing the door out and bumping into this scene.
Run to the end of the alley in one breath, and there is an old tree in front of the left.
The old tree has grown here for many years, and it is still luxuriant and lush.
Luo Sheng passed by the tree, raised his hand and stuffed the bow between the branches of the tree, and the bow specially prepared for King Pingnan disappeared.
There is a tree hole between the branches, which she discovered when she was exploring the way beforehand.
From the tree where the assassination was perched, to the long alley to run after jumping off, until entering a wine shop, she carefully checked every place she passed.
This bow must never be taken back to the wine shop.
Hiding here, even if someone finds out, it doesn't matter. With such an unusual bow, no one would doubt her.
But once someone finds out in a wine shop, it's hard to tell.
Luo Sheng didn't stop, and his feet were even faster.
She may not be as skilled as the hidden guards chasing behind, but in terms of familiarity with this place, it is not an exaggeration to beat the dark guards eight streets.
In front of you is a brightly lit wine shop. The news of King Pingnan's assassination has caused the drinkers to walk out of the wine shop and stand at the door to watch.
Luo Sheng stopped against the corner of the wall.
There is only a bluestone road from here to the restaurant, but there is no shelter.
In front of you are the drinkers who come out to watch the fun, and behind you are the dark guards chasing you.
Luo Sheng who stopped did not really stop, but stretched out his hand to push open a door, dodged in and bolted the door behind him.
This is an ordinary house, and there is no one in it.
As if he knew every brick, tile, plant and tree here, Luo Sheng went straight to the woodshed.
In the firewood room, there are piles of firewood in a mess, and there is a rice jar that has not been used for a long time.
There is no rice in the rice tank.
Luo Sheng lifted the lid and jumped in.
The owner of this house is also her.
She bought not only the makeup shop, but also this house.
When news of King Pingnan's assassination reached the restaurant, the back kitchen was a little behind hearing the news.
Xiuyue walked into the wine cellar, picked up a jar of wine and was about to go out, when she suddenly heard a sound in the corner.
Xiuyue stood still, frowning, searching for the source of the voice.
Is there a mouse in the wine cellar?
She walked a few steps in that direction with the wine jar in her arms, and suddenly found that the lid of the wine barrel at the base of the wall was being removed little by little.
Xiuyue took half a step back, her eyes widened.
Because he was too nervous, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
After the initial panic, Xiuyue took a step forward and raised the wine jar.
She wants to see what kind of monster it is.
Now, of course Xiuyue understands that it's not the rats.
The wine cover was completely uncovered.
Luo Sheng whispered to Xiuyue who was about to smash down the wine jar: "Xiu Gu, it's me!"
Xiuyue held the wine jar aloft, looked at Luo Sheng who jumped out of the barrel and turned pale with shock: "Girl—"
"Shhh—" Luo Sheng stretched out a finger to his lips, preventing Xiuyue from continuing.
After standing still, she rearranged the wine barrels, quickly took off her black clothes, even her shoes, and stuffed them all into Xiuyue's arms.
"Take these to the kitchen and burn them, and talk about them later." Luo Sheng straightened his temple hair and clothes, put on the embroidered shoes that he took off and hid earlier, took the wine jar from Xiuyue's hand and walked out generously.
The news of King Pingnan's assassination has spread here, and she can't stay away for a long time.
The choice to come out of the wine barrel in front of Xiuyue was intentional.
It's time for Xiuyue to know her identity.
It can only be said that it was a coincidence that Xiuyue entered the wine cellar just at this time.
She opened a gap in the lid of the bucket and saw Xiuyue, so she just came out.
Of course, no one else can enter the wine cellar except Xiuyue. From the very beginning, she had told the people in the wine cellar that only Xiuyue was allowed in and out of the wine cellar.
The reason is also very simple, except for her, only Xiuyue, who is involved in the wine making, can enter the important place of wine making.
The wine sold to drinkers is taken out in advance and placed in the kitchen. If there is not enough, Xiuyue will go to the wine cellar to get it.
Luo Sheng walked out of the wine cellar with the wine jar in his arms. Seeing the strong man standing in the courtyard looking towards the lobby, he asked lightly, "What are you looking at?"
The strong man looked startled: "Master, I am not lazy, the beans are almost finished grinding!"
"Is there a guest making trouble?"
"No, it seems that something happened outside."
Luo Sheng walked over the strong man into the lobby, put the wine jar on the table, and scanned the lobby.
The lobby is already empty, except for a messy table.
No, there is another person at the table by the window.
He was dressed in Tsing Yi, drinking alone, as if he was not affected by the movement outside.
As if aware of something, the man suddenly raised his eyes and looked over.
The moment he collided with the opponent's gaze, Luo Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
Those calm and deep eyes seemed to see through everything calmly.
"Did something happen outside?" Luo Sheng walked over without changing his expression.
Bi can hold her breath, she is as confident as anyone else.
Wei Han glanced at the door, and calmly said: "It seems that some villains are making trouble."
Luo Sheng has already come closer: "I also heard the movement. Why doesn't the prince go out and have a look?"
Wei Han put down his wine glass and stood up.
The two were a little close, and the faint smell of wine instantly surrounded Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng didn't retreat because of the close distance, but looked at him suspiciously.
The man who was close to Chi Chi smiled: "I am attracted by the delicious wine and food that is not as lively as the wine shop."
Luo Sheng couldn't tell whether this reason was true or false.
She looked at the man with a smile on her lips calmly, and walked out.
"Miss Luo." A man's voice sounded behind him.
Deep and clear.
Luo Sheng stopped and looked back at him.
"The bead flower is crooked." He raised his hand and straightened the only bead flower from the girl's thick hair.
Luo Sheng looked at him calmly, his heart sank.
Going out on business yesterday, I wiped out today’s saved manuscripts, and the update is a bit late. Try to adjust today, and strive to restore the old time tomorrow.
