Chapter 313 Running away from home
Half an hour ago, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Lu Niangrong walked up to the two guards with a smile.

"Hey, you guys have been on guard all night, right? Are you tired?"

Zhao Fei and Lu Da didn't expect that Lu Niangrong would get up so early and talk to them.

Flattered, he said, "It's time to change guard soon. It won't hurt to stay overnight."

Lu Niangrong must have thought the same thing as what she observed.

There are only two of them guarding the side door here, and the patrol and guard change times are the same, which means that no one will discover them for at least quarter of an hour.

"Oh yeah, do you know what this is?"

Lu Niangrong took out two small porcelain bottles and handed one to each of them.

Zhao Fei and Lu Da were not on guard at all and examined the small bottle carefully.

Unexpectedly, the bottle suddenly exploded and his face was covered with white powder.

Lu Niangrong laughed, "You've been fooled. How about my hidden weapon?"

Zhao Fei and Lu Dagang let go of their vigilance, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Miss..."

Zhao Fei and Lu Da's brains suddenly became dizzy. They were shocked and wanted to circulate their internal energy, but found that the circulation of their internal energy was abnormally slow.

As the two people's gazes became distracted, Lu Niangrong clapped her hands.

"Just get some sleep for a while. Tell my dad, I'm going to go out and be quiet."

Zhao Fei and Lu Da closed their eyes heavily, their hearts sank to the bottom.

Even though their strength is already considered second-rate martial arts masters, this is why there are only two of them in this side door.

But if Lu Niangrong went out alone and something happened, they would be to blame.

Lu Niangrong is very familiar with the inside and outside of the mansion.

As soon as he went out, he quietly disguised himself and avoided some soldiers standing guard outside the mansion.

Now she needs to race against time and get out of Xianyang City before Lao Lu can react.

Otherwise, with her father's control over Xianyang, she would have to go back within two hours.

Lu Niangrong secretly hated herself for not practicing martial arts diligently. If she had tried harder to open up her Ren and Du meridians, she would have been able to reach the nearest East City Gate much faster.

Three quarters of an hour later, Lu Niangrong saw the city gate that had just been opened a few hundred meters away, and a smile appeared on her dusty little face.

The calculation was correct, the city gate was indeed open at this time.

Before Niang Rong could continue walking forward, an ear-piercing scream was heard.

Lu Niangrong, who had not paid much attention at first, suddenly saw many more armored city guards at the city gate, and her face changed slightly.

The city gate, which was originally wide open, was now half closed, accommodating only two or three people entering and exiting side by side.

What made Niangrong even more nervous was that the guards, who had been idle all the time, simply blocked the city gates and prevented anyone from going out.

There was a commotion at the city gate.

Just as Niang Rong was hesitating, the sound of flying horse hooves came from a bell, drum and arrow tower.

Niang Rong secretly thought that this was not good. She didn't expect that her father would actually use the military information transmission method that was only used during wartime.

No wonder the guards at the city gate reacted so quickly.

I thought that even if Old Lu sent someone to come over at full speed, it would take at least a quarter of an hour, so I would have plenty of time.

A loud shout came from the flying rider, holding up a scroll canvas with his arms.

"The Prime Minister has issued an order to strictly check all passers-by. Where is the city guard Li Jian?"

Li Jian, holding a long sword, strode over.

He was the deputy general for the defense of the city promoted by the prime minister. When he saw this, he knew that the prime minister had something private to attend to.

"Thank you, knight."

Li Jian took the small canvas scroll, bowed and turned to leave. His mission was to deliver the item.

Huh? This isn't...

When Li Jian saw the person depicted on the canvas, he recognized at a glance that it was Lu Niangrong, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After a moment of hesitation, he drew a picture and went to the city gate to check. In this case, either Lu Niangrong was held hostage by the thieves, or she went out alone and disappeared.

If it is the former, the Prime Minister would not be so low-key, so the latter is very likely.

Li Jian analyzed it in his mind, and couldn't help laughing when he thought about the daughter of the prime minister running away from home. At the same time, he also wanted to see if he could seize this opportunity and make further progress.

He had had enough of guarding this shabby city gate.

Lu Niangrong hid in a tavern, feeling very anxious and kept looking towards the city gate.

What made her even more nervous was that many familiar looking guys appeared on the street, they were none other than the expert guards of the mansion.

……

Cheng Jiao was half leaning on the bed in the carriage, with Miehun and Mengniang serving him.

I have to say that Old Man Ban understood what he meant.

Although there seems to be not much decoration inside the mechanical carriage, there are actually many things hidden in the mechanism, which allows for storage to be done to the extreme.

The carriage may not look large, but if the mechanism is opened, the space can be increased by at least half.

But if this is the case, it will be difficult to use the flying function of the carriage.

The only thing that made Cheng Jiao regretful was that the flying function of this mechanical carriage had very poor endurance, with a maximum altitude of thirty or forty meters and a speed similar to that of large electric cars in later generations.

It couldn't satisfy his desire to fly to other countries.

Cheng Jiao suddenly realized something was wrong.

Outside the carriage, in less than half a quarter of an hour, three second-rate masters and a dozen acquired masters with considerable strength had passed by.

Is there anyone trying to do something bad to him?
He chose to leave town this morning, and not many people knew about it.

Even Zheng Ge doesn’t know yet.

Zhuan Po's cold voice spread into the car.

"Sir, it's someone from Lu Buwei's house, and they seem to be searching for someone?"

Cheng Jiao hugged Meng Niang's slender waist, feeling a little puzzled.

Who is Lao Lu looking for?
Could it be that Yanri was slacking off at Li Si's place in the Prime Minister's Mansion and was exposed?

Cheng Jiao took a bite of the fruit fed by Meng Niang. No one knew what was wrong with Yanri. Maybe he had suffered a blow in Xinzheng and now he didn’t want to climb up anymore.

He only pursues comfort and pleasure every day.

Next time when we return to Xianyang, let Yanri do the assassination mission. How can he just slack off all day?

Niang Rong in the tavern took a deep breath and could not wait any longer.

In half a quarter of an hour at most, those searching guys will come here to investigate.

I don't know how to disguise myself, but I can still recognize you at first sight.

Niang Rong secretly smeared some black ash on her face, which was essential for running away from home, making her originally fair and tender face look dirty.

Fortunately, he was wearing tight clothes that ordinary people wear, so the shopkeepers in the tavern didn't pay much attention to it.

Niang Rong kept looking for a carriage where she could hide.

In the current situation, as soon as she leaves the tavern, she will be discovered by those sharp-eyed guys in less than half a cup of tea.

Therefore, it is best to leave the tavern, hide, and leave the city.

A horse-drawn carriage is the best choice.

She had observed that although carriages were checked at the city gate, they only checked the people on the carriages and did not check the carriages from top to bottom or left to right.

Although I haven't opened up my Ren and Du meridians, my skills are still pretty good. At least Lian'er can't compare to me.

As long as you can crawl under the carriage, your chances of successfully leaving the city will definitely increase greatly.

But for this reason, the carriage you choose cannot be too small. It is best to choose a larger carriage that can cover your entire body.

It would be even better if the carriage was bigger.

Niangrong's little hands nervously held the ceramic teacup, her eyes fixed on the passing vehicles.

At the same time, I prayed in my heart that they would not be all pony carriages.
