Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

The temperature in the tunnel was a bit low, and dense goose bumps stood up on Jiang Huaixu's body. She rubbed her arms and did not go down immediately. Instead, she watched the guards who broke in at the entrance of the tunnel.

The guard, choked by the thick smoke, coughed and shed tears, and could not see clearly what was going on in the warehouse for a while.

The guard leader was the first to get rid of the smoke, and when he looked at the empty warehouse, his expression turned extremely ugly.

"What...what's going on? Where are the things in the warehouse?!"

The smoke gradually dissipated, and people saw the same scene one after another, and the crowd was in chaos.

The leader had no choice but to roar angrily: "Just now, Eunuch Ma led people in and out of the warehouse. In such a short period of time, the thief must not be far away. Let's search them all!"

Don't they know the tunnel exists? Jiang Huaixu thought to himself.

Also, there is evidence of his intention to rebel in the tunnel, so only a fool would make this secret public.

She had to hurry up.

Going down the stairs, Jiang Huaixu quickly looted all kinds of utensils, even the wooden shelves where the utensils were placed. Finally, she looked at the dragon robe and wanted to remove the gold thread on it, but time does not wait.

Jiang Huaixu, who was about to leave, was attracted by the small box placed in the groove under the hem of the dragon robe.

She walked to the dragon robe and squatted down. She couldn't tell that there was a box here at all. She reached out and touched it carefully. Only by touching it with her hand could she feel the slight irregular depressions.

The result of the scan was that there was a booklet in the box.

Putting the box directly into the space, Jiang Huaixu walked towards the opposite passage from when he came.

The tunnel does not only have one exit from the warehouse, but also has an exit directly to King Duan's study.

When he arrived at the study and activated the tunnel mechanism, the sound was so loud that it woke up the two boys who were keeping watch outside the door.

The flaw was already exposed, so she simply opened the window, turned over and ran out. The window made a dull banging sound.

The boy shouted loudly: "A thief broke in!!"

"Someone come quickly...ah!"

A dazzling light suddenly erupted in the study, and then a blazing flame burst into flames.

After throwing an incendiary bomb, Jiang Huaixu took advantage of the chaos and disappeared into the night.

【Ah ah ah, exciting! ! 】

Fu Tuan, still in the shape of a white cat, squatted on Jiang Huaixu's shoulder with its wings fluttering, wanting to jump up.

Jiang Huaixu, who was in a hurry to escape, didn't want to talk to Fu Tuan, who was watching the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

While running, she checked the situation around her. She wished she could see in all directions and listen in all directions. That incendiary bomb directly set the study on fire and would hold them back for a while. There must be many capable people in a place like the palace. Before they could react, She must escape from Prince Duan's Mansion as soon as possible.

Turning left and right to avoid the servant who was rushing to the study with water, Jiang Huaixu came to the back of a house that was low compared to other houses.

She could get out by climbing over the wall next to the house, but there was a corner across a row of houses, and there were four guards there, about ten meters away from her. She could be discovered by climbing over the wall.

[Host, there is a hole in the wall here. 】The blessing group flew down from Jiang Huaixu's shoulders and stood in front of a tuft of grass.

Jiang Huaixu dug through the grass and saw that it was a hole, a dog hole.

She lay on the ground and moved out little by little. The process was a bit difficult, but she didn't make any noise.

Not caring about taking care of the crooked mask and towel, she ran four to five hundred meters towards the way she came, and then slowed down and tidied up her clothes.

The sky is dim in the east, with a light fish-belly white color, and it is almost dawn.

Her leg muscles felt slightly sore from being tense for a long time. As she ran, she took off her black clothes to reveal the rough linen underneath. As for the mask and cloth on her face, she did not dare to take them off.

When he was about to leave the city, Jiang Huaixu found the old grandmother's house, climbed over the wall into the courtyard, and left ten taels of silver on the sleeping grandmother's pillow as payment for buying pancakes.

Even if grandma's son and granddaughter don't come back, they can still live on for a while with this money.

Casting his last glance at the devastated Zhangzhou City, Jiang Huaixu turned and left.

After leaving the city, she took off the mask and cloth on her face, and met Yun Qi on her way back to the bamboo forest.

"Have you entered the city?"

Jiang Huaixu, who had run all the way, was panting slightly and did not hide anything when he heard this, "Yes. Did you wait here all night?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Huaixu knew that he was following her last night, and Yun Qi was slightly surprised.

He turned away and said, "I wanted to ask you how the situation is in the city."

Knowing that he had not entered the city, Jiang Huaixu felt reassured.

It's just that the matter is so big that it can't be hidden. It would be better for her to talk about it. Even if Yun Qi doubts her, she is young and thick-skinned anyway, so she just refuses to admit it.

After briefly talking about the tragic situation in Zhangzhou City, she brought the topic to Prince Duan's Mansion, "An interesting thing happened in Prince Duan's Mansion last night. It seemed that there was a fire. The fire was quite big. I thought it was you who did it. , did you really not go into the city last night?"

Glancing at Jiang Huaixu coldly, Yun Qi said without any trace of anger on his face, "It's not that I dislike longevity."

Jiang Huaixu glanced up and down at Yun Qi, "That's right, you can't even run away from me. I guess you don't have that ability."

After saying that, she took the first step with her little hands behind her back.

Yun Qi, who was about to ask her if the arson incident had something to do with her:... He was so angry that he wanted to grind his teeth.

When the two of them walked back to the camp one after another, the villagers were already waking up and moving around.

Seeing Qian Xiuzhu and Zheng Liniang looking for something from a distance, Jiang Huaixu shouted loudly: "Mother! Sister-in-law!"

She trotted over to the two of them, "What are you looking for?"

"Your sister-in-law said you were not in the tent. What did I think happened to you?" Qian Xiuzhu helped Jiang Huaixu gather her loose hair.

"I couldn't sleep. I wanted to catch some fish in the small lake over there, but I didn't catch half of the fish!" Jiang Huaixu pretended to be depressed, "I'm very sleepy now."

Zheng Liniang laughed, "How can fish be so easy to catch? Come into the tent and catch up on your sleep. Only by sleeping more can you grow up."

Jiang Huaixu nodded listlessly. After taking two steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped to look at the two of them.

"Mom, tell dad that we should leave Huai'an Mansion early. Yun Qi said that many people died in Zhangzhou City, and the prince's mansion is on fire. It's in chaos now! We can't enter the city."

Qian Xiuzhu and Zheng Liniang looked at Yun Qi with uneasy expressions.

Cloud Seven:······

"Yes, I went into the city at night." His tone was gritted.

Jiang Huaixu Quan pretended that he couldn't tell and continued to look at Qian Xiuzhu seriously.

Qian Xiuzhu sighed, "What kind of world is this!" Then she said to Jiang Huaixu, "Mom knows, I will tell your father later, you go to bed quickly."

Jiang Huaixu, who had no psychological burden, turned around and entered the tent.
