Chapter 385: Escape

After they had prepared for two days, it was finally time for them to set out with the caravan.

Just after dinner, Lin Mengya went to bed early on the grounds of discomfort.

On the surface, everything was going as usual. Early in the morning, Lin Mengya went to the door to mess with the guards in an attempt to break through the barrier.

She seemed to be furious on the spot. Therefore, it seemed to be even more reasonable for her to lose her temper deliberately.

These days the guards got to know her routine.

She usually came out to make a scene after getting up early in the morning. What made them a little helpless was that this princess, who was forced to live in the seclusion, seemed to consider messing with them a sort of entertainment.

It was said that every time the princess failed to escape, she could eat another two bowls of rice for breakfast.

After knowing this, the guards, who were selected to perform this ridiculous task, must have wildly cursed in their hearts.

Of course, all of these were part of Lin Mengya’s plan, and she had properly grasped the mentality of the guards.

In the sky, the full moon had become a thin crescent.

Without the moonlight, the world seemed to be darker.

It was time for everything to fall sleep. The entire Prince Yu’s Mansion also fell into peace and serenity.

“Creak…” Because of the wind or something else, suddenly there was a crack in the small door, which had not been used for a long time, behind Liuxin Courtyard.

Rust and dust fell to the ground. After a while, a little head covered in black cloth was popped out cautiously.

The black cloth covered most of the face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes which looked around and watched out for everything around.

Until it was ascertained that no one was around, the little head was retracted.

After a short while, two slender figures got out through the door.

After exchanging glances, they crouched down and moved to the back door of the prince’s mansion slowly and firmly along the shadow of the corner.

“Master, isn’t anyone guarding this back door?”

It turned out that these two stealthy figures belonged to Lin Mengya and her attendant Baishao.

“Shh, don’t talk. I have my plan.”

Lin Mengya led Baishao to a small corner and crouched down.

Now, there were at least another four hours before the dawn. The door usually wouldn’t be opened until the dawn.

But the situation was different today.

Soon after they hid, a yawning figure in a coat appeared at the back door with a small orange lantern.

The man neatly took out the key to the back door. The sounds of keys colliding were exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

“Uncle Chen, you are really punctual.”

The person, who opened the door, stood reluctantly beside and complained harshly.

Outside the door, a carriage full of fresh vegetables had just arrived at the door of the backyard.

“Thank you for your hard work. It’s the special melon of my hometown. It’s not worth much money. I bring it for you to have a taste.”

It was still spring now, and the seeds had just been sown. Of course, there were no fresh fruits and vegetables now.

Nevertheless, in order to please the aristocracy in the Capital City, numerous smart farmers got a few out-of-season vegetables based on favorable climate and topographical advantages by means of introducing hot spring water and making use of the aura of earth or heating the planting shed with stoves overnight.

Of course, such fruits and vegetables were ridiculously expensive. Even in the Capital City, only a few people could afford them.

Prince Yu’s Mansion with a deep pocket was one of them. These precious vegetables would be delivered to Prince Yu’s Mansion in a small carriage every seven days.

At that time, the guards at the back door would be less strict. After all, it was a waste of time to check the delivering process repeatedly. What was more, the princess had a good habit of going to bed early and getting up late.

No one would have expected that she was willing to get up early in order to escape from here.

While Uncle Chen, who delivered the vegetables, entered the door, Lin Mengya waved her hand and sneaked out with Baishao quietly.

The thick dark night became their natural camouflage.

Repressing the complacency of escaping successfully, Lin Mengya and Baishao ran away with their packs.

She did not expect that when she disappeared around the corner, a few familiar shadows suddenly appeared in the alley she had just gone across.

“You must protect the princess well and avoid any accidents.”

Steward Deng commanded in a low voice, and the dark shadows around him scattered instantly and gradually vanished in the dark.

Watching the princess, who had got in a carriage starting to run wildly, in the distance, Steward Deng involuntarily sighed lightly.

In fact, the Prince had expected that he would fail to stop the princess from going out finally based on her character.

Regarding grounding the princess, it was just a show the prince had put on for outsiders.

Based on the princess’s character, everyone in the Capital City knew that she was not that kind of person who quietly embroidered and watched birds at home.

What the prince did could reduce the suspicion that the princess was not in the Capital City.

He just didn’t know how much of the prince’s painstaking effort the princess could understand.

Alas, he only hoped that the princess could be safe and sound.

In the quiet night, the carriage carrying Lin Mengya and Baishao, who had escaped from the prince’s mansion, ran wildly at once.

The coachman was arranged by Yunzhu and would hit the road with them.

What was more, Lin Mengya was surprised that this man was the smart young man she saw at Old Uncle Bai’s place.

It was no wonder that Yunzhu said that someone would take good care of them on the way. Lin Mengya felt that this man was calm and smart at first glance.

On this way, they might have to rely on him.

In the carriage, she and Baishao took off the black suits and showed the ordinary clothes behind the suits.

Lin Mengya was dressed as a man, and her delicate and pretty face looked a bit like Lin Nansheng.

Fortunately, she was not as shy and timid as ordinary girls and looked straight at everywhere. After tidying herself up, she looked like an aggressive flirting master.

“Little lady, do you think that I look exceptionally handsome as your husband?”

Lin Mengya pretended to be amorous, and frivolously raised Baishao’s chin with the folding fan in her hand.

Her deliberate seductive eyes made Baishao tremble with laughter.

Baishao was dress as a newly-married lady, charming and gorgeous with dignity and grace.

They pretended to be a couple on the way. Except for a few people in the caravan, others did not know it.

It was definitely inconvenient for two girls to go out.

Moreover, Baishao looked too charming to dress like a man. The role of a married woman was more suitable for her, lest some rash people should intend to take liberties with her on the way.

Of course, except for very few scums with a special taste.

They sorted out their luggage in the carriage. Besides their clothes, shoes and socks, Lin Mengya had brought a lot of notes. As the saying went, be thrifty at home and spend liberally while traveling. Although the caravan had its own fixed route, it was inevitable for them to act alone.

In order to avoid the tragedy in the TV series that she was separated from the caravan and was out on the street pennilessly, Lin Mengya deliberately wore a lot of inconspicuous jewelry.

She looked money-obsessed, which made Baishao smile cheerfully and keep praising that her master was so smart.

“Young Master, we are going to reach the inn soon. Would you like to come down and buy something?”

A voice suddenly coming from outside made Lin Mengya stunned.

The members of the caravan were going to gather in an inn in the Capital City and then set out together.

She lifted the curtain, leant there, and exchanged the information with the coachman in a low voice.

“According to your order, you are the only son of a wealthy businessman in Yunzhou. Your surname is Yuan and first name is Lin. You have only been married for less than half a year. This time you are going to the Nation of Lintian to inspect your property there. I’m your coachman, Yuan San. Young madam’s surname is Yuan with the original surname Ma, and her first name is Hui.”

With no idea what this person’s original name was, Lin Mengya had to call the young man Yuan San for the time being.

She took over her official document for customs clearance where the information of her, Baishao and Yuan San was clearly written.

She read it repeatedly and memorized all her basic information with Baishao.

Fortunately, with the help of the Shen Nung system, she memorized every word.

“Young Master, we’ve arrived at the inn.”

Yuan San said respectfully outside, and Lin Mengya became serious. This would be the starting point of her journey. She didn’t know what adventure the journey to the Nation of Lintian would bring her this time.

Lin Mengya lifted the curtain with her little hand, and helped Baishao get out of the carriage like a man.

Although it was still early in the morning, the inn had long been crowded with people coming and going.

The vendors from other places or about to leave the capital city all made a short stay in this Yunlai Inn.

Although the imperial court valued agriculture and belittled trade, the status of businessmen continued rising under the accumulation of wealth.

Fortunately, in Yunlai Inn, there were people from all countries, so they had not attracted much attention.

Yuan San led Lin Mengya and Baishao to the leader of the caravan.

This was a veteran known as Master Guo. Yunzhu said that he had been the chief of a large escort house before joining the Sanjue Hall.

Regarding why he became the leader of a caravan of the Sanjue Hall, Yunzhu had no idea.

Nevertheless, Lord Guo had rich experience with a sense of justice, and had done an excellent job in many tasks before. Thus, he was trusted with the mission of establishing the branch of the Sanjue Hall in the Nation of Lintian.

Of course, it was under the cover of business exchanges.

“Master Guo, how do you do? I have heard your awe-inspiring reputation long before. Today I meet you and find that your reputation is justified. This is a small gift to show my respect to you.”

Master Guo and his two deputies were sitting in the lobby for breakfast.
