Fortunately, Shimi lived frugally on weekdays and saved some money. When it was late at night, she only brought a few clothes and prepared to leave without saying goodbye!

The moonlight is particularly bright tonight. The silver moonlight is scattered on the ground, as if it is covered with a layer of white frost. A few clouds occasionally cover the moonlight, and then are blown away by the wind.

Saying goodbye to Yan Dan had never been so unpleasant. It was not Shimi's intention to leave without saying goodbye, but now he was at the gate of the city. If he didn't leave, he and Yan Dan would have to play a husband and wife drama that was difficult to distinguish between true and false. The thought of carrying the identity of Yan Dan's wife in the Zhao Kingdom Life, Shimiya felt like he was suffocating!

Shimi sneaked out of the house and quietly closed the door, temporarily pretending that she was still in the house. She walked quietly through the yard and saw that the lights in Yan Dan and Liniang's house were still dim. Yan Dan He probably felt that he was determined to do it, so he didn't monitor Shimi too much. In his understanding, since the king had already sent gifts and congratulations, how could Shimi resist? How could he risk his life and fight against the entire Zhao country for a fake wedding?

After leaving Handan City, there was no clear goal. Shimi didn't understand the world outside Zhao at all. Now, among the seven countries in the world, where is the dividing line between countries? If he strays there, he will be captured by another country as a traitor or captured by a traitor. , she didn’t understand at all. We could only take one step at a time, and with the idea that the boat would straighten out when it reached the bridge, we ran towards the city gate without looking back.

Under the moonlight, Shimiya ran all the way, the Pisces jade pendant in her heart was protected tightly by her. She couldn't care too much, couldn't think about the sad partings anymore, she could only take steps towards freedom. .

But difficulties came up unexpectedly so quickly. Yongyumi ran to the city gate and found that the gate of Handan City was closed at night. This gate would never be opened unless the princes and generals gave orders.

"Stop! Who are you? You are sneaking around in the middle of the night. Where are you going?!"

Shimi was caught just as he was ducking to hide from the patrolling officers and soldiers.

"me……"

Shikiya had never seen such a battle before. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were all holding weapons and fully armed. They looked like they were not easy to mess with. Before Shimiya could explain, he was picked up by a large soldier and rushed under the bonfire. .

"What are you doing out of the city as a woman in the middle of the night? Could it be that you are a spy sent by the enemy?!"

"It's not a job! I'm just an ordinary person in Handan City who goes out of town to do business."

Shikiya pretended to be calm so that she wouldn't appear so nervous. She looked at these ferocious soldiers, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

"Someone asked me to do something. I... have to deliver something outside the city. Because something has delayed me, I can only leave the city overnight. Please make it convenient for me, brothers."

After that, she put the broken silver in her sleeves into the hands of several soldiers. The soldiers saw that the woman in front of them was still good at doing things. They were smiling and spread their hands to see.

"that's it?!"

Obviously there is not enough money!

"Brothers, I'm in a hurry, so I didn't bring too much with me. If I come back after finishing my work, I will definitely entertain you with good wine and good food!"

There is no other way, Shimi has no choice but to keep pleading and pleading. As long as he stays in the city for a longer time, he will be in more danger. If Yan Dan finds out that he has escaped, he will definitely chase him!

"Do you know that breaking into the city gate without permission is a capital offense, and we cannot just let people in and out at will. Now that the world is not peaceful, if you are an agent sent by the enemy to find out about Zhao, wouldn't you be in trouble if we let you out?! "

"I am definitely not a craftsman! How could I be a craftsman!"

Shikiya quickly took off his hat and said again

"If I was careful, how could I have no time to defend myself and still wait for you to interrogate me? I'm just an ordinary person!"

The few people saw that she was young, and she didn't really look like she was scheming. Just as they were looking at each other, trying to drive Shimiya away even though they were embarrassed, the soldier standing by suddenly noticed something. He pointed at Shimiya. , asked

"Are you... the girl who once took care of General Li Mu's mother? I remember... once we followed General Li back to the city, and you ran out in the middle of the night and stopped his horse on the street!"

Shimiya, who originally thought he was going to be sent back, suddenly found a chance to survive again!

She quickly nodded in agreement and said

"Exactly! Exactly the little girl!"

"Now you are out of the city overnight. What's the urgent matter? Could it be that... you are going to see General Li?"

Shimi smiled when he saw him, as if he had misunderstood her relationship with Li Mu, but there was no time to explain at this moment. Just when Shimi stiffened his neck and wanted to lie and admit it, the soldier bumped the adjacent soldier with his elbow and smiled. said

"I have met her several times. It was this girl who took care of General Li Mu's mother. General Li Mu's mother passed away, and she was also there..."

He looked at the others with a smile, his eyes filled with meaning, as if to remind them that the woman in front of him had a special relationship with Li Mu. She was probably ordered by Li Mu to go to Yanmen to meet him. In order to cover up others' eyes, he That’s why I chose to come out in the middle of the night.

"General Li has been stationed at Yanmen for a long time, and it's true that he hasn't seen the girl for some time."

"Forehead?"

While Shikiya was organizing his words to answer the question, these soldiers were already having a big show in their heads.

"If the girl has received the order from General Li, then leave the city quickly! Several of us used to work under General Li. We have been on many expeditions with him. General Li treats all generals well and has a good reputation. If the girl is Li How can we stop the general’s men?”

At first, he was still blocking the road and refused to give way, but now he was pushing Shimiya toward the city gate. Everything changed so quickly that Shikiya didn't even have time to be happy, so he was put into a bamboo basket.

"What is this going to do?"

The Shimi cat was in the bamboo basket, not knowing why.

"Don't worry, girl. It's dark now and we really can't open the door. If someone is in a hurry to get out, they can only sit in the hanging basket. We will slowly put it down outside the city gate later. Don't worry, girl."

Several soldiers took out the broken silver they had just collected and wanted to return it to her.

"Since they are General Li's people, how can we accept these? It's enough to ask the girl to meet General Li and say something nice to us!"

"No... no no no... I have troubled you today, how can I get it back!"

Shikiya pushed back with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the last memories left in Handan City were not bad.

When the gondola slowly landed on the ground, and when the soldiers waved goodbye to Shikiya on the city wall, Shikiya's originally tense mood finally relaxed a little.

Goodbye!

She looked at the mighty city walls and sighed secretly in her heart

Bye now! The starting point of my Warring States Period, Yan Dan, Professor... Goodbye...

Yan Dan, if I am lucky enough to escape, we will probably never see each other again in my life.

After only lingering for a moment, Shimi ran towards the forest without looking back. She never looked back once.
