Chapter 389 Pei Yan escapes
"letter!"
Xiao Wenshi thought without hesitation.
Her son has always been her pride, and everything she does is for him. In her eyes, her son is handsome, talented, and strategic, but he has always been suppressed by Pei Heng, which is why his talents have not been revealed.
"Son, you've always been the best. I believe your future achievements will surpass that damned Pei Heng. Then I'll be able to enjoy the best food and the best drinks, and live happily with you."
Pei Yan felt sad.
Little Wenshi was truly kind to him. Besides, he needed help with what he wanted to do next.
"Mom, I want to leave."
"Go? Where?"
Xiao Wen was startled and subconsciously lowered her voice as she sat down next to Pei Yan, then looked around carefully.
Seeing that the personal guards of Dingguo Mansion were busy making fires and cooking, and did not notice the mother and daughter, he felt relieved.
"I don't know either. But I can't go back to Shengjing Manor. If I go back, I'll just wait for death there for the rest of my life, and I'm not willing to do that."
"So what's your plan? With so many people watching, can you get away?"
Little Wen pointed to the area around the camp.
"Mom, you will definitely help me, right?"
"Me?" Xiao Wen was stunned. "Let me think about it carefully."
If her son becomes successful in the future, she will also benefit from it.
But at the moment, she didn't dare to offend Pei Heng.
However, she was also feeling upset. Why did all the good things belong to Pei Heng's family, while she could only look at his wishes and get a meal.
It took her almost no time to make her decision.
"Mom will help you!"
I don’t know if it was really God’s will, but it started to drizzle in the second half of the night. In less than half an hour, the rain became heavier and hit the tent with a crackling sound.
Pei Yan rolled over and got up.
It's raining!
The rainy season has really begun!
It seems that God has not completely abandoned him!
The camp was flooded, and the guards of Duke Dingguo's mansion all stood up and began to clean up. For a moment, the camp was in chaos.
"Son! Hurry! Go now!"
Xiao Wen was sleeping in the carriage. When she heard the noise, she quickly packed up her bag and dry food, ran over and stuffed them into Pei Yan's arms.
"Mom, please wait at the farm. When I become successful, I will come to pick you up and enjoy happiness."
Pei Yan wiped away the heavy rain that hit his face.
The rain was cold, but his heart was hot.
There's never been a more exciting moment than now.
After taking a look at the people who were frantically moving the camp, he ducked down and disappeared into the rain.
In the woods, several men in black saw this scene.
"Go to the other side of the camp and create some chaos to attract attention! The young master has instructed that if Pei Yan wants to leave, we must help him! You two, follow Pei Yan from a distance and don't let him see you."
"Yes!"
Several dark shadows immediately ran towards Xinxin, the opposite direction from Pei Yan. They created some chaos on the other side of the camp, successfully attracting the attention of the guards.
When the guards dragged their exhausted bodies back and finally cleaned up the camp, they discovered that one person was missing when they called the roll.
"Oh no! Pei Yan is missing!"
Duke Dingguo's guards suddenly panicked.
At this moment, he recalled the commotion in the camp just now, and realized belatedly that it was a deception.
They immediately scattered to look for him.
But we searched everywhere and found no trace of him until dawn.
The strong wind and heavy rain last night washed away all traces.
"Stop looking for it!"
Pei Shizong's face was grim as he looked through the luggage on the carriage. Several pieces of clothing were missing, and much less food was available. His rebellious son must have taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
He knew that his rebellious son was too arrogant to live a simple life with him for the rest of his life.
He stared at Xiao Wen and said fiercely:
"Tell me, did you help him? I saw you two huddled together and whispering yesterday evening."
Xiao Wenshi felt guilty and said hypocritically while wiping her tears:
"What are you crazy about? How could I possibly help him escape? He's starving and cold out there, what good would that do him?"
Duke Dingguo's guards were all dejected.
They never imagined that Pei Yan actually had helpers. In just a short time last night, they were able to rescue the person with the help of both inside and outside forces.
But they were also puzzled. Why did Pei Yan run away alone? Why didn't the others run away?
At the same time, I felt nervous and scared.
Duke Dingguo has strict military discipline, and his wife is also strict in managing the household. If they mess up this trip, they will probably not escape punishment when they return.
The leader was still quite clear-headed and immediately gave the order:
"Send out a small team and spread out to continue the search. Send another person to ride back to the capital at full speed to report the news. The rest of you, pack up and set off! There's no time to delay the rest of the journey!"
It was because I treated them too well for the sake of Duke Dingguo that I made such a big mistake.
Next, we can't indulge them anymore.
……
The news soon reached Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
After reading it, Pei Heng's brows were furrowed into a shape of "川".
"Husband, I never thought that Pei Yan would actually run away?" Su Li murmured as she read the news.
"He's been ambitious since he was young. I thought exile to Ningguta would teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect him to still be so ambitious."
Pei Heng raised his fist. He had already done his best for them. If Pei Yanruo caused any more trouble, he would show no mercy.
"Husband, there is one thing I don't understand."
Su Li looked at the message with doubts in her heart.
"whats the matter?"
"Look, the letter says someone is secretly behind this. I've been thinking about it for a long time but I can't figure out who it is or what their purpose is."
Pei Heng nodded, he still didn't understand this point.
Prince Jing, Pei Yan, Prince Kang, and Tan Tai Ting, they had already wiped out the forces of these people long ago. Who would come out now to secretly help Pei Yan?
He and Su Li would never have thought of Li Ji as the cause.
"Forget it, my husband. The world is peaceful now. Even if Pei Yan escapes, he won't cause any trouble. Send people to continue looking for him. If they can find him, they'll bring him back. If not, forget it..."
Just an insignificant person.
There's really no need to put too much thought into him.
They have a lot of things to worry about!
"By the way, how is the situation going with Third Uncle?"
Su Li calculated the time and found that the rainy season in the south was about to arrive.
In the original book, many people died in the flood that year.
So when her third uncle submitted a petition requesting to go to the south to supervise water conservancy projects, she agreed with both hands.
However, my third uncle was later implicated in the affairs of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, and his official position and power were demoted. He was delayed for a long time and could only stay in Lin'an to manage a river.
Fortunately, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he carefully studied the water control strategies proposed by my third uncle, recruited talents without any restrictions, and promoted my third uncle to supervise water conservancy in three provinces.
Over the past year, Uncle San has put so much effort into this project that he almost wants to split it in two. Even so, the construction of water conservancy projects in the south is only the first step in a long journey.
Su Li was worried that the people in the south would suffer again because the intervention was too late.
