The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 86 They Are the White Lotus Sect
Although the Little Qinhuai River is an inland river, the bottom of the river is deep and the current is fast. Yingyun dragged the emperor to dive in the water for a while, and then drifted downstream along the river.

Those assassins pursued closely, searching for their footprints all the way.

The emperor grew up in the capital since he was a child, and if it comes to riding and shooting, he is the best, but his water skills are not good at all, and he can't last long with Yingyun.

When Yingyun pulled the emperor up from the river, the emperor drank a lot of water, but he was still conscious.The two of them looked around, and all they could see was a vast expanse of white reeds, which was as tall as a person.

"Where...is this place?" Yingyun couldn't figure out the north and south, she was only focused on running for her life, and didn't have time to remember the way.

The emperor looked back and said, "They should catch up soon, let's go."

Yingyun helped him to walk through the bushes, and asked, "Who are they?"

The emperor said: "They are believers of the White Lotus Sect. In recent years, the White Lotus Sect has used the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty in Sichuan, Anhui and other places to make troubles everywhere. I never thought that even Yangzhou has their people."

Yingyun has heard of the name of the White Lotus Sect, especially in the 18th year of Jiaqing, when the believers colluded with the eunuchs of the Forbidden City, cooperating with the inside and outside, and went straight to the palace, and started a fight near the Hall of Mental Cultivation, resulting in countless casualties.

Of course, these are all for later.

It turned out that as early as the early years of Qianlong, the White Lotus Sect had already begun to be active in Jiangnan.

Then during Qianlong's southern tour, they must have picked up the rumors in advance and found out the identity of the emperor early in the morning, which is why they caused this murderous disaster.

In the final analysis, they were all going after the emperor, Yingyun sighed secretly, if she had known this, she would not have gone out with the emperor, and almost lost her life.

The two walked along the path, the emperor's hand was injured, and Yingyun ran all the way again. Both of them exhausted their physical strength, but they didn't dare to relax in the slightest, so they stepped up and continued to move forward.

Passing through the reeds, the sky gradually darkened, and there was a village in front of us, dimly lit by candlelight.

The emperor glanced at Yingyun, and said: "It seems that we will take refuge in this village tonight."

Yingyun had no choice but to listen to him. The two supported each other and went to the village.

The village is not big, and there are simple mud-tiled houses connected to each other. Yingyun knocked on a house, saw an old woman with a kind face, and said: "Grandma, we pass by the village, can we stay with you for a night? "

As she said that, Yingyun took out a little bit of silver and gave it to her.

The old woman glanced at them, seeing that their bodies were wet, she couldn't help being suspicious, and asked, "Who are you?"

Yingyun begged with a pitiful face: "Good man, we are all good people, mother-in-law, look at our desolate appearance, if you show kindness, the Bodhisattva will definitely protect you."

There was a fire at the entrance of the village, and Yingyun looked back, and it seemed that the people who had chased them before were also following them, so she couldn't help feeling anxious.

The old woman asked: "Those people are here to chase you, right?"

Yingyun nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, mother-in-law, I was originally a young lady from a rich family. My father forced me to marry the son of a high official in the city. I refused to obey, so I escaped. Mother-in-law, if I was arrested, then There is only one death."

Seeing how pitiful she was, the old woman sighed and said, "Okay, come in with me and we'll talk."

Yingyun's face was filled with joy, she pulled the emperor inside and said persistently, "Thank you, mother-in-law, you are so kind."
