?? He smiled kindly to his wife, "Don't you know about our Zhao'er yet? The guards you arranged are useless! With Zhao'er's temper, if she insists on leaving, who can stop her? If she doesn't want to leave, even if you open the four gates of Chengfeng Villa, she will not take a step forward!"

"Haha! Madam said, I immediately asked someone to withdraw the guards from the other courtyard!"

...

During the day, Xiang Zhao and Qingzhu were surprised to find that the guards guarding their garden had retreated. The two women used the past few days to prepare the things they had traveled far, put them in the Hunyuan plate, and couldn't wait to wait for the arrival of the night. It was not that they could not leave during the day, but that they had a long buffering time at night. When Xiang Junwai discovered that they were already a hundred miles away and could not chase them.

About one or two hours before midnight, it was already late at night. Xiang Zhao and Qingzhu quietly went out and arrived at Qingzhuxuan. Xiang Zhao opened the secret passage at the top of the building, and got in one after another with Qingzhu, and then closed the secret passage from the inside. From the outside, everything seemed as usual.

The secret passage was pitch black and there was no five fingers. Xiang Zhao was familiar with the secret passage. He walked in front and held Qingzhu's hand. After more than a mile of straight secret passage, Xiang Zhao said: "Qingzhu, the exit is above!" As she said that, she took out two fluorescent magic crystal stones to illuminate the space here.

Qingzhu looked up at her head and asked in surprise: "Why is this... why does the exit look like this? Upward?"

"You'll know when you go out!"

Qingzhu jumped lightly, and the sudden thrust she grabbed was taking advantage of: "Ah? This feeling... isn't it stone? Wooden?" As soon as the thought in her heart appeared, she jumped out of the hollow exit of the big tree and fell lightly onto the ground. At this time, she looked up and saw the stars in the sky.

Then, Xiang Zhao also followed: "Qingzhu, we are out!" Qingzhu nodded and was about to say something, but suddenly his expression condensed and he shouted: "Who is sneaky!"

"Miss! Miss Qingzhu, are you?" Dou'er's voice came, and the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling. It turned out that Dou'er had prepared a carriage for them to leave after Xiang Zhao's secret instructions. Before, Dou'er reported to Xiang'er's foreground to understand the situation on Xiang'er's side. After all, Dou'er and Xiang Zhao grew up together, and the relationship between the two was so close that they were better than that of the master and servant. Although the journey to Death Ridge was long and dangerous, there were probably only Dou'er, Bao'er and others who understood Xiang Zhao's intentions.

Dou'er knew that if the lady was locked in the room and did nothing, it would be far more painful than killing her.

"It's Dou'er!" Xiang Zhao said to Qingzhu, then turned to Dou'er: "Are you ready? Haven't you discovered it by your father and the others?"

Dou'er said: "No! The master already believes that the lady will never go out again."

Xiang Zhao felt ache in his heart, felt deeply guilty. After a moment of silence, he said, "Dou'er, Qingzhu and I are leaving. Go back quickly! Don't be discovered by my father, I will punish you!" Xiang Zhao said, and hugged Dou'er and said, "After leaving this time, I don't know if we can come back. I left something for you and Bao'er in the drawer of the dressing table in my room. Remember to pick it up!"

"Miss, what are you talking about? How can there be no coachman on such a long way?" Dou'er said: "How can there be no one to take care of?"

"Dou'er, you won't plan to follow us to the Death Ridge, are you? No! Absolutely not! I can't let you follow us to die!" Xiang Zhao said resolutely.

"Miss! Dou'er is not afraid. Dou'er just needs to be with the lady!" Dou'er said: "Even if he dies, Dou'er is willing!"

"No! I said no, it's not possible!" Xiang Zhao scolded, his voice and expression were stern. Suddenly, she pointed to Dou'er and pointed at Dou'er, using the power of Yuanli to seal the other's meridians and said, "Dou'er! In an hour, the seal will be automatically untied. There will be no danger here, Qingzhu and I will leave!"

Xiang Zhao took Qingzhu and walked towards the carriage. The matter was urgently said: "Miss! Don't leave us behind! Miss... Baoer is still waiting on the official road. If there is any movement, he will come and notify me! Miss, take us with me!"

Xiang Zhao didn't look back and got on the carriage with Qingzhu. She was afraid that she would stop again, so she really couldn't bear it and brought Dou'er with her.

"Miss! Miss... If you don't bring us, we will go to the master's place to collect the crime after dawn! Let's be beaten to death, anyway, the lady doesn't want us anymore, um--"

The carriage that had just started was suddenly stopped. Xiang Zhao was confused. Thinking of leaving like this, his father was furious and he might take action with Dou'er and Bao'er who helped him escape, and might even kill them.

Xiang Zhao made a decision for a moment, took out the fluorescent stone, threw it out, just untied Dou'er's vein and asked, "Where is Baoer, lead the way!" Dou'er was overjoyed, shouted "Yes", and rushed over.

Baoer was behind a tree next to the official road. She didn't know how to hide her breath. So Qingzhu felt her specific location from a distance. Xiang Zhao was one level higher than Qingzhu's cultivation, but she didn't feel it. So she secretly praised in her heart: "This girl Qingzhu has good perception and very high talent for cultivation. She is indeed someone around Yuer!"

After picking up Baoer, Xiang Zhao said: "We first go south, cross Songshui from Songshui Wharf, enter Yuzhou, and then go north, pass through Jinzhou, Zhongzhou, and finally arrive at Death Ridge! When dawn is dawn, my father will probably think we will go north and walk from Weizhou. In this way, even if we send a fast horse to chase us, we will not find us!"

Qingzhu and Xiang Zhao were sitting in the carriage, Dou'er and Bao'er took turns to catch the train to rest. They had already traveled nearly 200 miles south by dawn.

Suddenly, a fierce sound of horse hooves came from the front of the official road, which looked like thirty or forty riders. After a while, black spots and smoke appeared in the sight of the four women.

The horses ran very fast, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the carriage of Xiang Zhao and others. Qingzhu looked slightly suspicious and murmured: "Strange? Isn't this the horse of our An family?" Whether it is the shape of the horse, the saddle, the armature, the whip, and the pedals, they are all the styles of the An family. However, Qingzhu has never seen anyone riding on it.

"Hey! Who are you? Why do you ride the An family's horse?" Qingzhu asked.

The group of people who were about to pass by the carriage suddenly tightened the reins and all thirty or forty horses stopped quickly.
