There was a small piece of paper hidden in the wax ball. There were only a few words written on it, and they were crooked. It was impossible to tell whether it was written by Eunuch Wei himself.

But the content just happened to match the doubts in Gu Mingzhen's heart.

Eunuch Wei seemed to suspect that the emperor had been secretly replaced. The current one was not the original one!

In fact, Gu Mingzhen also had this suspicion in his heart, but he didn't dare to make such a definite judgment. Eunuch Wei, this old man, is too bold!

There was just one thing that puzzled Gu Mingzhen - why did Eunuch Wei ask him to send a message to Xia Daohua, asking her not to worry about anything and to escape quickly?

…

Spring in the capital is like a gentle hand, brushing away the remaining snow and letting the weeping willows and winter jasmine sprout tiny buds; spring in Jixiang County is late, and the icicles on the eaves have just begun to melt; and spring in Bohai County seems to have forgotten this chaotic place, and the fierce north wind still cuts the face like a knife.

Li Gan and his men wore dog-skin hats askew and old sheepskin coats inside out, with the corners of their northern barbarian robes showing under the coats. They wore deerskin boots filled with Ula grass, and looked like native mountain people from Bohai County.

They had disguised themselves as mountain people selling mountain products and escaped from Bohai County calmly and dangerously.

As soon as we left the city gate, the entire Bohai County was under martial law.

Xiao Lubuhua was extremely annoyed because of the trouble caused by Li Gan and the others.

Although he knew that martial law might not force Li Gan and his gang out, and that they might even be laughed at by their enemies, he didn't care.
