Free Web NovelChapter 1202: Chapter 26: Joyful Debts (Part 2)_3
"Dad has already sent people to Beimo to bring the Little Princess over, it’s too late for you to send money and grain now."
Su Yang walked out of Prince Zhenbei Mansion with a defeated look.
But he was never someone to accept his fate since he was young.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fought so much.
Isn’t it easy not to marry Princess Beimo?
He’ll just run away.
Three days later, Su Yang went out as usual, wandered around the street, ate and drank as if he had come to terms with it.
After entering the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, he never came out again.
At some point, he knocked out a waiter from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and ran away disguised.
He had to use disguise; Marquis Dongxiang guessed he might run away from the marriage and had people watching him.
Who would have thought that Su Yang would still find a loophole?
With the disguise technique, how could anyone easily find him?
Years ago, when Su Yang ran away from home, Dongxiang Marquis Mansion couldn’t find him. He was only seven years old then, now he’s already eighteen.
Marquis Dongxiang dispatched the Flying Tiger Army to find Su Yang and sent a pigeon message to the team going to Beimo to get married, telling them to slow down a bit.
Once Su Yang has run away, they wouldn’t find him in less than two or three months.
You can’t bring Princess Beimo over and have a rooster marry her in Su Yang’s place, can you?
He was dissatisfied with Duke Zhen Country Mansion’s actions back then, how could he treat Princess Beimo the same way now?
Poor Flying Tiger Army wanted to hurry to Beimo to bring the young bride back to the mansion, but a secret letter from the Marquis, and they not only couldn’t speed up, but also had to walk slowly.
The Beimo Envoy was anxious as could be, burning with urgency.
Flying Tiger Army led the Beimo Envoy on a detour, from south to north, then from north to south.
What could’ve been a month’s journey to Beimo took them two months.
But the Flying Tiger Army didn’t know they weren’t the only ones anxious, there was also the King Beimo.
Because—
Su Yang wasn’t the only one escaping from marriage, his daughter was too.
That’s right.
Princess Beimo also ran away from the marriage.
Ever since she went to Daqi, getting stung several times, Princess Beimo would rather never marry than marry Su Yang.
No matter how she begged King Beimo, he refused to cancel the engagement.
Are you kidding?
A marriage agreement that’s hard-won, how can it be easily canceled?
Moreover, if he asks to cancel the engagement, with Marquis Dongxiang’s temper, can he return the three hundred thousand loads of grain and grass and hundred thousand taels of gold to Beimo?
He can’t lose money and grain and end up without a son-in-law.
Princess Beimo always put her hope on Su Yang, thinking he wouldn’t want to marry her, or he wouldn’t have used bees to sting her.
But now, he’s failed too.
The bridal sedan is almost coming to Beimo; if she doesn’t hurry to run, she’d really jump into the fire pit.
Su Yang wouldn’t come to Beimo; isn’t this a setup?
Princess Beimo thought the same.
They both thought of Nanlin simultaneously.
Su Yang had known Zhao Xu for ten years.
Zhao Xu was also Princess Beimo’s brother-in-law.
Wouldn’t they thrive in Nanlin?
They both headed in the same direction, as soon as they stepped into Nanlin, they ran into each other.
Su Yang assumed the alias Tang Feng.
Princess Beimo, Princess Yinchuan, assumed the alias Zhao Zi.
One takes the mother’s surname.
One takes the sister’s surname.
There were many merchants coming and going on the border, and inns were bustling with business.
Princess Yinchuan, for convenience and to avoid being found by those sent by her father, was disguising herself as a man all the way.
She and Su Yang entered the inn one after the other and simultaneously asked for an upscale room.
The inn’s waiter chuckled, "Unfortunately, there’s only one upscale room left."
"I came first!" Princess Yinchuan slammed the silver on the table.
Su Yang leaned against the counter, "Who doesn’t have money?"
A gold ingot was placed on the counter.
The inn waiter looked at the two of them, then someone else wanted to stay.
The inn waiter said, "Sorry, there are no more empty rooms."
The person shouted, "Even none?"
The inn waiter apologized, "Recently, it’s crowded, and the inn’s been full every day. To stay, you have to go 20 miles ahead."
At that moment, it was getting late, plus they were both quite hungry.
Su Yang was determined to get that private room.
Even more so for Princess Yinchuan.
She was really too tired to walk another 20 miles.
Neither would yield.
The inn’s waiter didn’t know who to let stay, so he said, "I see both of you gentlemen are extraordinary and alone, why not make do and share a room?"
"It’s always bustling, and quite a few people do share a room."
"If you’re worried about losing anything, the inn can safeguard it at no cost."
Su Yang looked at Princess Yinchuan a few times, "I’ll make do with him for one night."
After saying that, he strode upstairs, calling for a few dishes along the way.
Su Yang was happy to share a room; Princess Yinchuan wasn’t.
She went out with her bundle for a turn, then reluctantly returned to let the waiter show the way.
The waiter knocked, explained the purpose, and Su Yang allowed them in.
Well, not bad.
Princess Yinchuan thought.
The waiter opened the door and left.
Princess Yinchuan walked in with her bundle, hearing the sound of splashing water.
After eating and drinking well, Su Yang was comfortably soaking in the bath.
Princess Yinchuan took a look and immediately screamed.
That sharp scream made Su Yang frown, "Why are you screaming?!"
"How can you bathe in the room?!" Princess Yinchuan shouted.
"..."
"If I don’t bathe in the room, should I do it on the street?" Su Yang said, looking annoyed.
"..."
"We’re both men, what’s there to scream about?"
Indeed, delicate skin is nothing but pretentious.
Princess Yinchuan, "..."
She blushed, grabbed her bundle, and ran out.
But after leaving, she stiffly returned.
If she missed this room, she’d have to sleep on the street.
But how... could she share a room with a stranger?
