Seeing Lao Ge nodding, Yunling was pleasantly surprised, and then remembered something important.

"Which party opened the city gate? Is there any news about the eldest lady and the others?"

"The second prince was defeated last night, and the rebels at the city gate also surrendered. I heard that someone came to Prince Kang's Mansion yesterday to rescue the people inside. The Duke and the First Lady should be fine," Lao Ge answered one by one.

Yunling felt relieved, knowing that they were fine and she could leave with peace of mind.

"Uncle Ge, let's leave now." She didn't know if Cui Qiyan and Lu Siheng had noticed it, but she couldn't wait any longer.

"The carriage is ready. The girl can get down as soon as she has packed up."

"Uncle Ge, wait a minute, I'll get the baggage and come back." Yunling quickly turned around and went back.

After paying the rent, Yunling left the inn and got on the carriage.

Lao Ge drove the car and arrived at the city gate in a short time.

There were still blood stains left on the ground from yesterday, and people anxious to leave the city had already lined up.

When it was Yunling's turn, Lao Ge took out the things he had prepared and handed them to the guards for inspection.

The guards looked at them carefully before letting them out of the city.

The moment the wheel passed through the city gate, Yunling felt that she was truly free again.

Not long after walking out, a bell suddenly sounded in the city, one after another, and it struck nine times in total before it stopped.

The carriage also stopped at this time, and Yunling opened the curtain in confusion, only to see Lao Ge and some people who had left the city kneeling and kowtowing towards the city gate. She looked at the city gate again and found that the guards and people inside were doing the same thing.

She sensed that something big had happened and immediately lowered the curtain. Since Lao Ge didn't call her, she just pretended that she didn't know. Anyway, she was unwilling to go down and kneel down.

Soon Lao Ge returned to the car and said,

Ling asked in a low voice: "Uncle Ge, what does the bell ringing just now mean?"

"The girl doesn't know?" Lao Ge was a little surprised. No wonder he didn't see her get out of the car just now. "That's the death knell, nine times, which means the emperor's death."

After Yunling learned about it, she was just stunned and didn't feel much.

Cui Qiyan has made her clearly aware of the class gap, and the emperor is even more out of reach for her. She should never have the chance to see Tianyan in this life. The emperor's life or death or who he is, has nothing to do with her.

At this time, she never imagined that this incident would affect the rest of her life.

After leaving the city, Lao Ge sent Yunling to the next county.

Yunling got out of the car and put a piece of broken silver into his hand, "Uncle Ge, I'm grateful to you for this journey. I have nothing to express my gratitude. Just this little silver is not enough to show respect."

Lao Ge hurriedly refused, "I will do things according to the eldest lady's instructions, and I cannot accept your money."

"Uncle Ge, just accept it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have left the city so smoothly. I've been delayed for a day, so you should go back quickly. It's time for me to leave." Yunling waved her hand and turned to leave.

"Girl, wait a minute." Lao Ge stopped her.

Yunling turned around, "Uncle Ge, is there anything else?"

"Girl, no matter where you are going, you must hire a carriage. You are young and you are a girl, so it is probably not safe for you to go on the road alone. Why don't I work with the girl to choose a reliable coachman for you. If nothing else, it depends on the horse. I’m still good at knowing people.”

I didn't expect him to be so considerate. It is indeed important to have a reliable driver along the way.

Yunling happily accepted his kindness, "Uncle Ge can choose someone for me, it's really a good thing."

Lao Ge's words are true

She was reminded that before going to hire a carriage, Yunling first found a clothing store, bought a pair of men's clothes, and combed her hair into a man's style.

The days of serving Cui Qiyan were somewhat useful, as she learned how to wear men's clothes and tie her hair.

When she sorted it out and came out, the store manager's eyes lit up, "The girl has a good appearance. Dressed like this, she looks like a handsome young man."

Yunling pursed her lips and smiled. She knew that her outfit could only fool people for a while, but it could not withstand closer inspection, and even her secrets were revealed as soon as she opened her mouth.

However, she didn't intend to pretend to be a man. It was just for convenience along the way. It was enough to make people mistake her for a man at a glance, which might save a lot of trouble.

Yunling chose another set of men's clothes made of the same ordinary material. After paying the money, she went to hire a carriage with Lao Ge.

Lao Ge nodded approvingly when he saw her outfit, "Girl, it's safer to go on the road this way."

Afterwards, the two of them inquired about the place, and Lao Ge took care of it and chose a man with a strong horse and a carriage that was as clean and tidy as the driver.

After finishing these things, Lao Ge had to rush back to the Duke's Mansion, "Girl, please take care of yourself along the way."

"Uncle Ge, you should also take care of yourself."

After watching Lao Ge drive away, Yunling got on the carriage.

"Girl, where are we going?" The coachman spoke with a kind smile on his face.

Yunling thought about it. The original owner's hometown was in Yingzhou. If someone wanted to find her, they would think of that place first. It is forbidden to go to Yingzhou, at least for two or three years. Now that she has regained her freedom, she will go see the most beautiful scenery.

Yangzhou is located in the south of Dayin, with a pleasant climate and spring-like weather all year round. She wanted to go there first

in.

"I'm going to Yangzhou. It's a long way. If you can send me there, we can discuss the price. If it's inconvenient for you, just send me to the farthest place you can go, and then I'll find another carriage. "

The coachman thought for a while and said, "Since you are here to make money, where can you go? I think the girl is also a cheerful person. As long as you can afford the money, I will take you all the way to Yangzhou."

That's right. Lao Ge helped her choose the person. She believed in Lao Ge's vision and naturally didn't want to change the person midway. So Yunling and the coachman negotiated a price that was acceptable to both of them, and happily set out on the road.

Such a big thing happened yesterday. Meng Dong and others in the house also heard about it. They were also worried about whether Yunling had successfully left the city, so they asked Meng Dong to ask Mother Wu.

Lao Ge went out for a whole day and didn't come back, and Wu's mother was also very worried. The eldest lady brought the Fifth Master back very late last night, and the Duke and the Crown Prince have not returned home yet.

Unable to disturb the eldest lady with this matter, Mother Wu had no choice but to wait for news at the side door with Meng Dong.

"Mom, is something going to happen to Yunling?" Seeing the sun setting, Meng Dong was anxious at the door, "I heard from Brother Xiangzi that many people were injured when the rebels rushed in yesterday. Calculate the time. , Yunling also left the city at about that time, could it be..."

"Don't scare yourself," Wu's mother was so dizzy by her, she pulled her back and said, "Let's wait a little longer. If it gets dark and Lao Ge hasn't come back yet, I'll go tell the lady and see if we can send some people out. Look for it.”

Meng Dong calmed down, "Well, after Brother Xiangzi found out, he went out to look for it early this morning. I hope he can bring it back.

good news. "

After Yunling left the house, Meng Dong took advantage of Cui Qiyan's absence to give away the things she had entrusted to the people in the house. Anyway, these people knew that Yun Ling had left, so it didn't matter if he gave it to them at this time.

Baoxiang's share was given to him last night, and he also learned about the situation outside from his mouth.
