325, out of town
Novel website...org, the fastest update of Jinshu's latest chapter!
After taking two doses of medicine, Xu Shu was almost in good health. In the evening that day, Zhou Jin suddenly told her that they were leaving Pingliang City tonight.
"Why is it night?" Xu Shu was puzzled, "Why did you leave the city after the curfew time?"
"I have my own way!" Zhou Jin's identity cannot enter and exit the city gate normally, otherwise he will be exposed if he encounters a cross-examination.
Zhou Jin suddenly took out a bag and gave it to Xu Shu, "In order to avoid trouble, you can dress up in men's clothes on the way!"
Xu Shu obediently took over the burden, "Okay!" A group of men with a weak girl was really too eye-catching, and it was much easier to disguise herself as men's clothes!
"We'll leave when it's dark!" Zhou Jin left after saying that.
Wan Feng held the bag and looked at Xu Shu with tears in his eyes, "Miss..."
"Take good care of yourself!" Xu Shu patted Wan Feng's shoulder meaningfully.
Wanfeng nodded vigorously, wiped his tears, opened his bag and took out the men's clothing. It turned out to be a brand new set. It seemed to be customized according to Xu Shu's body shape. Wanfeng hurriedly changed it to Xu Shu and combed Xu Shu with a boy's bun. At first glance, Xu Shu was indeed no different from a boy in her teens. Only by looking closely can she find that her appearance is more delicate than that of an ordinary boy.
Xu Shu repeatedly told Wanfeng to stay in Pingliang City honestly and not to leave the yard at will, and promised that sooner or later she would go back to find her!
Nodded with tears in his eyes.
When I was holding the lights, Zhou Jin pushed the door in a dark dress, "It's time to leave!"
Xu Shu nodded, walked to Zhou Jin, turned around and "looked at" Wan Feng, gave Wan Feng a smile and turned around and followed Zhou Jin without looking back. Wan Feng covered her mouth behind her and did not dare to cry.
Zhou Jin carried Xu Shu onto the horse and turned over to the horse. The horse was walking restlessly. Xu Shu's nervous back was tense and straight. Zhou Jin comforted the horse and said, "Don't be afraid, with me here, you won't fall down!"
Xu Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou Jin said again, "It doesn't matter if you fall down. You will be trampled in an instant and your brain will overflow with it. You won't even have time to feel the pain and die!"
Xu Shu gritted her teeth and said nothing had been heard. She held the saddle tightly in her hand. The night wind lifted Xu Shu's hair and brushed Zhou Jin's face. A scent of indescribable smell floated across Zhou Jin's nose, making Zhou Jin unable to help but sniff it hard in secret.
Zhou Jin looked back at the others and saw that they had already got on the horse, so he ordered, "Go!" He squeezed the horse's belly with both legs and the horse rushed out like an arrow, but the horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth. There was no sound when landing on the street, and there was no noise in this quiet night.
The horse galloped westward and gradually entered the west of the city where ordinary people lived. The low houses and narrow alleys made the horse's speed slow down. Finally, it stopped at the gate of a gray and inconspicuous courtyard. Zhou Jin got off the horse and hugged Xu Shu. Xu Shu was so bumped by the horse that she was almost disbanded. She was huddled on the horse's back. When she was held down, her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand. Zhou Jin simply hugged her directly and walked towards the door. Xu Shu considered her physical strength and did not struggle.
Lin Heng stepped forward and knocked on the door three times, paused for a moment, slowed down, and knocked on it three times. Then the door was opened to a gap of ruler wide. The people inside the door looked outside with vigilant eyes. After passing Lin Heng, he called "Young Master" after seeing Zhou Jin. Then he opened the door completely, lowered his head to hide his surprise when he saw Zhou Jin holding someone in his arms.
Zhou Jin seemed very familiar with the courtyard, so he went straight to the wing room, put down Xu Shu, and explained, "You can rest here for a while!" Without waiting for Xu Shu to react, he went out again.
Xu Shu touched the sitting earthen kang and the quilt leather of the cheesecloth. Without special identification, it was already filled with the entire nasal cavity mixed with soil and dampness. This was a small courtyard for ordinary people. It seemed that Zhou Jin had many strongholds in Pingliang City. In addition to Chunmanlou and here, Zhou Jin's temperament should have strongholds.
Although he was bumped on the horse's back just now, Xu Shu still paid attention to the location. They were heading west. It seemed that Zhou Jin was planning to leave the city from the Xicheng Gate. As a result, most of the people living in the west of the city were poor, so the search for the Xicheng Gate was the loosest and easier to get out.
Xu Shu held her forehead and thought about whether she would cause chaos when she left the city. Zhou Jin could take the opportunity to escape? After thinking about it, Xu Shu shook her head and denied it. Even if she escaped, she could not explain herself to the officials. After all, she was a dead person now. She might not say that in the end, she changed from pretending to a dead person to a living dead person in order to ban the words. This is not worth it.
Thinking about getting out of here, I had to wait until I left the city. Xu Shu frowned, and the soreness from her thighs made her brows even tighter. The horse's back was too bumpy, far less comfortable than sitting in a carriage. I don't know how long it would take to get out, otherwise she would be beaten to death before she could escape.
Xu Shu settled down and returned to the main room. Before entering the room, she saw the man who had just opened the door looking at him with gossipy eyes. Zhou Jinyang glanced at him, "Xue Ji, ask directly if you want to ask!"
The man scratched his head and asked, "What is the identity of the young master whom he just brought in?"
Lin Heng, who was standing beside him, held back his smile, Zhou Jin coughed, Lin Heng quickly put down his hands and was serious and strong, and then Zhou Jin said lightly, "An old friend!"
The word "old friend" is really appropriate. Xu Shu and Zhou Jin met earlier, and they are indeed old friends. After hearing this, Xue Ji put away his gossip on his face. Lin Heng, who pretended to be serious, laughed in his heart. That "young young master" is not just an old friend of the young master. Although no one dared to say anything about that night in front of the young master, the person below had already been in trouble.
"Young Master is going to leave the city?" Xue Ji said seriously.
Zhou Jin nodded, and Xue Ji said again, "I think it's time for the young master to leave recently. I'd like to give an order outside the city a few days ago!"
"Prepare a carriage!" Zhou Jin ordered.
Xue Ji was stunned and puzzled, "Young Master, you have been several days behind the original plan. You shouldn't have rushed to catch up with the itinerary, why do you still need a carriage? The carriage's journey is more than twice as slow as the fast horse!"
Zhou Jin said, "It's too late anyway, so it doesn't matter if I'll delay for a few more days. I have my own plans, just make arrangements!"
Xue Ji looked at Lin Heng, Lin Heng whispered and signaled him to do what he should do. Xue Ji had to scratch his head and arrange it. Xue Ji left, and Lin Heng stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, do you really want to take the girl back to Rouran?"
Zhou Jin nodded, "I have my own arrangements for this matter!" He made another gesture of silence, "You guys are small, this room is small, be careful she hears it!"
