Chapter 160 was fished out
"Whether you are telling the truth or not, I can judge for myself, you don't need to emphasize it."
Huo Qingyun walked down the steps and handed the pass to Luo Xiaoran. The sunlight shone through the hollow partitions on the doors and windows and fell on his slender hands, making his hands look cleaner and whiter, with distinct joints but not bony. Luo Xiaoran was stunned for a moment.
"Why are you in a daze?"
“Your hand should be holding a pen.”
After saying this, Luo Xiaoran was stunned again.
How could she say such a nonsensical thing? She must be too tired recently!
No one had ever said such words to Huo Qingyun, but when Luo Xiaoran looked at him with a slightly tired face, her eyes were very clear and her tone was very natural, which made Huo Qingyun's heart move.
In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Luo Xiaoran snatched the pass from Huo Qingyun, stuffed it into her arms without even looking at it, and asked tentatively: "Then can you let me go, sir?"
"The pass does not match, but the circumstances are extenuating. I now order you to redeem it with ten strings of cash, and then go to the imperial prison for ten days."
"We still need to go to the Imperial Prison? Why? Lord Huo, please let me know!"
Luo Xiaoran was about to explode with rage. Since she had been fined, why was she still sent to jail? Didn't it clearly show that they didn't trust her?
During these ten days, the road to Yangzhou was long and it was difficult for him to check the pass, but his uncle in the suburbs was very accurate in his check, so wouldn’t everything be exposed in the end?
Then, she would be taken out of the imperial prison for further questioning, or she would be tortured in prison to extract a confession...
Thinking of this, Luo Xiaoran felt a toothache. The handsome Lord Huo now looked somewhat hateful in her eyes. She had to say something so that he would let her go.
Or just knock him down and then find a way to slip out of this military headquarters. Anyway, he looks weak and doesn't seem to be good at martial arts.
The sharp palm knife chopped towards Huo Qingyun's handsome face. Huo Qingyun seemed to be prepared and dodged it lightly. At the same time, he twisted Luo Xiaoran's outstretched hand and clamped it behind her back. Luo Xiaoran struggled to break free, but failed.
"I take back what I just said."
"Which one?"
“Your hand should be holding a pen.”
As the commander of the imperial guards, it would be strange if you don't know martial arts. If the emperor chose someone who doesn't know martial arts to protect his palace, he would be really crazy.
I was so confused that I actually thought you were a weak person.
Luo Xiaoran struggled again, but still couldn't escape from Huo Qingyun's clutches. She cursed herself in her heart that she had already been defeated by Huo Qingyun twice, once because of her IQ and once because of her martial arts. This made Luo Xiaoran a little unacceptable.
In the end, Luo Xiaoran was thrown into the imperial prison. The prison was just as she had imagined, pitch black and gloomy.
The only thing to be thankful for was that there seemed to be no prisoners being interrogated in the prison at the moment, so Luo Xiaoran did not hear the screams of torture that she had imagined.
For three consecutive days, Luo Xiaoran lay on a pile of damp straw, counting the days by one meal a day, wondering when she would be released.
In the hall that day, Luo Xiaoran could see that although Huo Qingyun did not believe her explanation, he had no intention of killing her. He just put her in prison for some reason. She had a hunch that Huo Qingyun would not keep her in prison for too long.
Luo Xiaoran is now worried that Qiu Niang and Niu Dan will be anxious if they don’t see her return, and it will be terrible if something happens again.
On the fifth day, the jailer still only gave Luo Xiaoran a bowl of porridge. Luo Xiaoran smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."
The jailer was a young man who had just taken over his father's job. He had not been working here for long and had not acquired many of the habits of a cruel official. He was very happy to be approached by a beautiful girl like Luo Xiaoran.
The jailer was about to deliver food to the next prisoner, but Luo Xiaoran suddenly called him, "Sir, I want to ask you something."
The jailer put down the food box in his hand and approached the fence, his eyes still shining with the innocence and clarity of a newcomer to the workplace: "What's the matter?"
"that is……"
Luo Xiaoran struck the jailer with one palm and successfully knocked him unconscious. She took the key from his waist and opened the cell door easily.
After leaving the prison, Luo Xiaoran discovered that there were no other prisoners in the dozen or so cells on both sides of the corridor. She was the only prisoner locked up there, and she had no idea about the other cells.
But it’s better this way, as the chance of escaping is greater. Luo Xiaoran walked outside cautiously.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there were a lot of footsteps coming from the corridor at the corner. Seeing this, Luo Xiaoran retreated to the cell without hesitation and hid the fainted jailer.
The leader of the group was Huo Shui. She still had a cold expression on her face, as if Luo Xiaoran owed her a hundred taels of silver.
"You can go out."
……
Luo Xiaoran rode on her horse and looked at the tall city walls of Kyoto. The city walls were touching the sky, the sky was blue, and clouds were emerging from the top of the city. It was really beautiful.
After being delayed for such a long time, the Dongfeng Caravan had already passed Kyoto. According to Yunhu's character, he probably wouldn't wait for her. Luo Xiaoran hurriedly rode her horse northward to chase after them.
After running almost non-stop for two days, the familiar convoy gradually came into view.
Yunhu was still riding Zhuifeng in the front to lead the way, and without any mercy, he let Qiuniang and Yiru follow below. Together with Niudan, who would be secretly carried to the carriage by a caravan fellow to rest after a jog for a while, she finally returned safely after a thrilling experience.
"You're back, with my second cloak." Yun Hu saw Luo Xiaoran returning on horseback, with a frown on his face and a resentful look in his eyes.
Luo Xiaoran pointed to the third cloak Yun Hu was wearing in a flattering manner. This cloak was exactly the same style as the cloaks worn by Luo Xiaoran and Qiu Niang, but the color was white:
"I've long thought that you have cloaks of other colors. Now it seems that although the first black one is resistant to dirt, it makes you look too gloomy.
The grey one I'm wearing makes you look grey, so the white one is better. It's whiter than snow, and it perfectly shows your gentle and gentle temperament."
Yun Hu blinked his eyes, looked down at the cloaks on Qiu Niang and Luo Xiaoran, then looked at his own cloak. The white one seemed to be better looking. Luo Xiaoran had good taste...
Yun Hu nodded. Seeing Luo Xiaoran's insincere look, he regained his consciousness instantly: "Stop flattering me. You have taken my cloak without my permission time and again. It's really abominable!"
"My benefactor, there is no need to be angry. Xiaoran went to Kyoto to make purchases as a man. She borrowed your cloak to cover the women's clothing underneath." Yi Ru stood up to speak for Luo Xiaoran.
"Yeah!" Luo Xiaoran nodded repeatedly, "The cloak I bought for myself is the style for women, so I have to borrow yours. If I hadn't borrowed your cloak, how could we see your noble image in the snow-white cloak?"
Qiu Niang couldn't help it anymore and covered her mouth with her hand as she tried to laugh out loud.
How long have she and Xiaoran been separated? How come Xiaoran's personality has become so cheerful?
She must have found a good place to live in seclusion. The beautiful mountains and rivers nourish her, making her more like a little girl, instead of the cold and distant girl she was on the road to escape famine.
