Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 314 - 313: First Steps into the Jianghu

This touch of reluctance did not escape Lu He’s eyes.

She wiped her tears, sobbing as she spoke, "I feel like he’s seeing an old lover, rekindling old feelings. I’m just going out for a walk with you, to clear my mind. Ah Zhi, if you don’t want to take your big sister with you because you think I’m old and worn out, then forget it."

Ye Zhi moved her lips, murmured a few times before speaking, "But this time, I’m sneaking out. I plan to go to Dragon Tiger Mountain to fetch Xiao Chen, and won’t return for two months. If my mother finds out, she will certainly not allow me to go far."

Lu He feigned great grievance, tearfully suggesting, "Then I will go with you. Sister Lu He is a few years older than you and can surely protect you. It’s not safe for a young girl like you to travel alone. I’ll also disguise myself as a man."

Ah Zhi hesitated for a moment, then decided not to waste time and agreed.

After Lu He packed her things, Ye Zhi left a letter before departure:

"Mother, I was preparing to leave when Sister Lu He saw me. She’s heartbroken and wants to leave too. Out of helplessness, I agreed.

Once again, due to the circumstances, I consented to take her along. We will return in two months. Please don’t worry.

Ah Zhi."

Originally, they planned to use Qinggong to travel, but with an accompanying woman who didn’t know martial arts, they could only proceed on foot~

The two left at the afternoon period around 3 p.m., both dressed in men’s attire.

They rented a carriage and found several coachmen, only one of whom agreed to go to Dragon Tiger Mountain, as he was the only one familiar with the route.

The other coachmen either complained the distance was too far or the route was too difficult to navigate.

The carriage fare was two hundred taels.

Ye Zhi sat in the carriage, which wasn’t too fast nor too slow, clutching her small purse tightly. Might the two thousand taels she brought be too little?

The carriage traveled along the official road, passing trees one by one receding into the distance~

By the ancient road, in the midst of mid-autumn, sycamore leaves fell, and a golden breeze brought a refreshing coolness.

With someone to long for, no matter how unclear the future path seemed, there was always a light to guide the way.

That evening.

After the chaos of searching the Ye Mansion, it wasn’t until 9 p.m. that they found those two sheets of paper in Ye Zhi’s room...

The room fell into silence.

Madam Ye was the first to explode, slapping the table with her jade palm, making the pearwood desk tremble: "Truly audacious beyond belief! Usually acting recklessly was one thing, but now, this is utterly reckless. Lu He, Lu He, she’s the same, sigh."

Her main anger was directed at her youngest daughter.

Lu He’s condition these past few days had not escaped her notice. Going out for a change of scene was understandable.

Surely, Lu He only staged a scene after catching Ah Zhi leaving.

The graceful woman’s face was filled with rage.

Lord Minister’s right eyelid twitched constantly; he stroked his beard, nodded, and turned his head away, not daring to plead for his young daughter. Right now, with his wife’s heart engulfed in flames, any plea would result in disaster for him.

Zhao Jun stood by, without a word, his gaze gloomy, face obscurely shadowed by the candlelight.

Evidently, another woman’s departure dealt him a certain blow.

Ah Tao stood by with a very complex mood; Miss did not bring her on this trip, surely because she saw Ah Tao was married with a family, already with a two-year-old child at home.

This time was Miss’s first journey far from home, feeling down, she murmured, "Miss, where have you gone..."

A room filled with a heavy cloud of dread~

"I will bring them back. As soon as I find them, I will write a letter to inform you." Zhao Jun said this and left the room.

Lu He, skilled at hiding, accompanied by the highly skilled in martial arts Ah Zhi, was like a tiger with wings. Honestly, with his current skills, whether he could defeat Ah Zhi was an unknown.

Therefore, he returned to his room, packed some necessities, mounted a Red Rabbit Horse, and left the Ye Mansion, exiting the city before the gates closed.

The man rode the horse at full speed, disappearing into the night~
