Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

Xu Mingyue and Xie Qingyao did not choose to leave the capital tonight. They spent most of the night taking a rough look at the defenses of the four major gates of the capital, relying on the secret passage map provided by Xu Mingliang.

The two people dressed in coarse linen clothes entered an abandoned house that had not been lived in for a long time. Xie Qingyao blew the bone whistle in his hand in the courtyard, and then walked through the dense grass under the light of the moon and walked into the house covered with spider webs.

The square table in the room and the four benches surrounding the square table had accumulated heavy dust. Xu Mingyue held the handkerchief in her hand and prepared to wipe it away.

"Azhao, don't rub it."

"Okay, don't wipe it."

Xie Qingyao loves cleanliness the most. If he didn't wipe it at this time, Xu Mingyue naturally recognized other meanings.

This place must be very important, and any sign of someone's presence may reveal their whereabouts.

Xu Mingyue did stop wiping while standing there, but he couldn't understand Xie Qingyao's behavior.

This man actually took off his clothes in front of her in this night, in such a difficult situation?

Although since getting married, it has been like a time when we get together less and stay apart more.

But since Xie Qingyao came out of the palace, Xu Mingyue thought that she had never been hungry before Xie Qingyao.

"Ayao, is this place a little too crude?"

"Humph." Xie Qingyao unbuttoned his hands and his smile became rippling: "Azhao is here, and there are beautiful buildings and jade houses everywhere."

Xu Mingyue had already taken out a porcelain bottle from her waist and was preparing to sprinkle it in the house to drive away snakes, insects, rats, and ants that might appear at any time.

The fox eyes stained with a different kind of water have never left Xie Qingyao. Xu Mingyue felt that she needed to comfort her first: "Ah Yao, shouldn't we discuss the strategy of leaving Beijing?"

Xie Qingyao took off his clothes and spread them on the bench. He sat on the bench and patted his legs: "Sit on my lap to discuss."

Xu Mingyue's cheeks turned red: "Let me sprinkle the powder on it first, so as not to spoil the fun later."

Xie Qingyao was teasing: "It won't take long here, don't waste this powder."

In the future, there will be more days of sleeping in the open air, so this medicinal powder will still be of great use.

"You always said it wouldn't be long, but which time was it not?"

The whispering voice reached Xie Qingyao's ears, making Xie Qingyao's heart itch.

He grabbed Xu Mingyue's waist and held him in his arms: "Don't make trouble, I won't wrong my Azhao in this environment."

"But if you really like such wild fun, your husband can accommodate you."

Xu Mingyue straightened the hem of her skirt and looked down at Xie Qingyao's robe that had been scattered on the ground. Xu Mingyue turned even redder from her cheeks to her ears.

Xie Qingyao has a pure mind, but her mind is filled with all kinds of disturbing things.

The clothes were cushioned on the stool. The dust on the stool was too thick and could not be wiped clean with a handkerchief.

Xu Mingyue was not allowed to sit on the stool because the stool was not high enough. The floor that had been crawled by unknown things would dirty Xu Mingyue's clothes.

Clearing her throat, Xu Mingyue pretended to be calm: "His Royal Highness, this state of mind is really excellent. At this time, you can still hold a beauty in your arms."

He took out the kettle from his waist and poured Xu Mingyue some warm tea that was still hot with a special kettle lid: "That's for my husband's good fortune, to be able to marry Ah Zhao as my wife."

Xu Mingyue held warm tea in one hand, pulled out the silver hairpin with silver needles on her head with the other, and traced it on the table covered with a thick layer of dust.

"The capital city tower is more than nine feet high, and the trench outside the city is ten feet deep. If you rely on your lightness skills, it will not be difficult to go up or down."

"The difficulty lies in the number of soldiers guarding each city gate. What we can see with the naked eye is ten times the number in the past, and the number hidden in the dark is even more incalculable."

"If we want to get out of trouble, the top priority should be to find out the current defense strength of the four city gates, and then select relatively weak areas to concentrate on attacking."

Xie Qingyao pointed at the north side of the table: "The north gate is the nearest exit from the capital to Nanjun. From what I heard just now, the soldiers guarding here have the strongest internal strength. Let's try the north gate first."

Xie Qingyao didn't want to try, and there was no need to try.

"Based on Xie Chongan's precautions, there are at least ten thousand people at each city gate. If the temptation fails, how will we get out of the city?"

The chance of winning against ten thousand people is very slim, not to mention that Xie Qingyao is carrying a small person like himself.

However, Xie Qingyao has never been a reckless person. If he says kill him, he means he can really kill him.

If you really want to fight one against ten thousand, or even one against thirty or fifty thousand, there are only two options.

"Do you want to catch him off guard, or do you want to wait until he gets tired and fish in troubled waters?"

Xie Qingyao said a few words against Xu Mingyue's ear. Hearing the rustling sound from far away, Xie Qingyao pulled Xu Mingyue up and moved the bench for Xu Mingyue to sit behind the dilapidated wooden door.

He put on the silver mask hanging on his waist and pulled up the brim of the hat for Xu Mingyue.

Walking alone into the deserted courtyard, after about half a cup of tea, four pairs of secret guards similar in stature to Xie Qingyao and his wife knelt in front of Xie Qingyao.

No one knew who was wearing the silver mask in front of them. They only recognized Xie Qingyao as their master and acted only by the sound of the bone whistle.

"You two will set off immediately to the east gate of the capital and try your best to escape from the east gate of the capital tonight. If you cannot escape, you will return to the capital and hide again."

"Remember, we come from the same place and return together."

The two secret guards who were ordered left, and Xie Qingyao set the time for these people to break into the remaining city gates.

These hours of separation are enough to walk from one city gate to another quickly.

After the eight people were arranged to go out, Xie Qingyao held Xu Mingyue in one hand and the dust-stained robe in the other, leading Xu Mingyue to leave the deserted house and go to another spot that had been set up in advance.

At this time, the people in the courtyard were no longer secret guards wearing night clothes, but spies whose clothes and backs looked like Xu Mingyue and Xie Qingyao, who traveled in a low-key manner.

"When the city gate opens at dawn, you put on the curtains and arrange for two people to go out from the east gate of the city tower every hour."

"When you leave the city, you should go out so that all the soldiers can see it. When you return to the city, you should hide your body and don't attract anyone's attention."

Xie Qingyao and Xu Mingyue visited six or seven dilapidated places to make arrangements for the next three days at each city gate. The two of them happened to be standing on a mezzanine where they could have a glimpse of the current status of the city gate.

It was already dark. Xu Mingyue looked at the two secret guards who were surrounded by thousands of soldiers and fled towards the capital because they were defeated by force. She had a vague idea of ​​adventure in her heart.

"Husband, it seems more feasible for us to break in tonight when they are unprepared, rather than wearing out their patience and then escaping in the chaos."

Xie Qingyao raised his hand and pointed at the fireworks that suddenly rose in the west: "Only a small number of people are stationed at the city gate. Those who are ambushing outside the city can reinforce them at any time."

What's more, with Xu Mingyue by his side, Xie Qingyao wanted Xu Mingyue to be infallible, not to escape death.

Holding Xu Mingyue's hand, he walked towards the real hiding place.
