After finally shaking off the pursuers, they were chased by a dog all the way. By the time they reached a safe place, they were already sweating and panting.

She saw a dirty black hand holding a broken bowl, looking at her tremblingly:

“Help me… help me…”

An old beggar.

This street is remote, dirty and smelly, where beggars gather, commonly known as the Flea Hollow.

The old beggar had messy hair, a pale and withered face, and held the bowl with trembling hands:

"Sir, please help me..."

There is no doubt that judging from the way the two men were dressed, they were the sons of wealthy families when they appeared in Flea Bottom.

In fact, Chu Li only had fifteen copper coins on him.

It was just snatched away.

"Ali, this old beggar is so pitiful." Qin Muyu couldn't help but think of his grandfather, who was also of the same age, with gray hair.

Chu Li felt compassion.

People’s livelihood is suffering.

She could read the books of sages, but she couldn't save the world. She wanted to watch from the sidelines, but she had a soft heart.

Looking at the shaking broken bowl in front of him, Chu Li felt compassion and helped him hold it for a while.

Just a moment.

She is in a hurry.

"Here you go. No need to thank me." Chu Li returned the bowl to him and quickly ran away with Qin Muyu.

Leaving behind was an old beggar with a bewildered look on his face, standing there with his hair disheveled in the wind.

To be honest, it wasn't that Chu Li was cruel. She and Qin Muyu hadn't had dinner yet, and they were running for their lives. Their stomachs were growling with hunger, and with a knife across the back of their neck, they had no time to feel compassion for the world.

She bought three meat buns.

Damn the barbarians!

A meat bun cost five copper coins each.

The prices are so high!

Two people squatted in the corner, eating meat buns.

Chu Li ate one and Qin Muyu ate two.

After eating one, Qin Muyu gave her the other one.

"Ahri, you eat, I'm full."

"You eat, I'm not hungry."

"Ahri, you eat."

After pushing back and forth a few times, Qin Muyu broke the meat bun in half and gave her the half with more meat, "Let's eat together."

Chu Li felt bad.

This was completely different from the life she had expected.

If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in the palace.

I miss the big pear wood carved bed, I miss the braised pig's trotters with soybeans in the imperial kitchen, I miss...

"Ali, I'm a burden to you." Qin Muyu said these words again. He felt guilty because he was not capable enough to protect her. Right now, it was difficult for him to even have a full meal.

He stroked the bracelet on his wrist, his eyes struggling.

Chu Li smiled and said:

"What hardships did we go through when we were little? Do you remember the time when I skipped class and Master Jiang wanted to punish me by spanking my palms, and you secretly broke the ruler."

"So much so that Master Jiang only hit me three times before the ruler broke."

Hahaha!

At that time, Master Jiang was still thinking:

"I have used this ruler for more than 20 years, how come it broke?"

etc!

"Oh my God! If the Emperor knew that I beat the Ninth Prince and broke the ruler, wouldn't he think that I deliberately tortured the prince?"

So, out of fear, he quickly gave Chu Li five days off.

"One more time..."

Chu Li said this while laughing.

Qin Muyu pursed his lips and suddenly said, "Pawn my bracelet for some silver. We can't go hungry these days. After we get through these two days of hype, we can use the remaining money to bribe a caravan and have them secretly take us out of the city."

Chu Li smiled slightly:

"This glass jade bracelet is what you have worn since you were a child..."

"Actually, it's not an important thing." Qin Muyu interrupted, "It seems to be a gift from an elder for my birthday when I was a child. At that time, I thought the glass texture was clear and beautiful, so I kept wearing it."

"Ahri, we took it as a pawn."

He has made up his mind.

Having said that, he was about to go.

Chu Li held him back, "Let me go."

"Ahri?"

"You stay here and wait for me. I'll take care of it."

Chu Li snatched the glass jade bracelet away and ran to the street.

How can this be something random?

This is clearly a family token passed down to him by his mother!

How could he easily pawn something he had worn for more than ten years?

Chu Li held it tightly in his arms and put it away carefully. At the same time, he took out a bank stub that was hidden very, very well from the inner side of his inner garment.

Wei Family Money House.

This is one of the largest money houses in Da Chu. It has branches all over Da Chu and in other countries. With a receipt, one can withdraw cash across stores.

At that time, she deposited all 28 small gold bars into Wei's Bank.

The situation is urgent now, and she really shouldn't withdraw the money rashly. Once someone finds out, her whereabouts will be exposed. But she can't just watch Qin Muyu pawn the glass jade bracelet.

In this world, you can't move forward without money.

It's difficult!

Chu Li sighed and strode into Wei's bank.

End of the street.

Qin Muyu stood guard there, observing Chu Li's movements, but after just a few breaths, he saw a group of guards coming to search.

They moved very quickly and aggressively, running into every shop and searching them one by one.

His expression tightened.

Ahri!

Ahri hasn't come out yet!

Qin Muyu watched helplessly, and in desperation, he grabbed a stone from under the wall and threw it over.

Bang!

Movement and noise attract attention.

Several guards looked over, and at first they looked normal. When they saw the man's face clearly, they compared it with the image in the portrait and immediately shouted:

“There they are!”

"Chase after them!"

Twelve guards rushed over quickly.

Qin Muyu turned around and ran.

However, he was poisoned by cartilage powder and had limited physical strength. If he kept running, he would soon be caught up. He quickly entered a crowded alley and ran towards the crowded place.

Run into the attic.

Hide in the side room.

Bang!

When the door was closed, a faint fragrance entered his nose. It was a deep scent of desire, which made Qin Muyu's heart tighten and he looked up.

The light in the box was dim, with the candlelight flickering faintly. On the soft couch behind the beaded curtain, sat a broad and ostentatious figure.

Is a man.

This person was wearing a dark red robe, so red that it was almost purple, with the hem outlined with gold thread, which showed his deepness and nobility, and was calm to the point of being unfathomable. His eyes seemed to be poisoned, deep and cold, filled with uncontrollable danger. He was lazy and undisciplined, but he was born with a strong aggressiveness in his bones.

He raised his legs and placed them on the table, with two boxes full of gold ingots at his feet.

The glittering golden light dazzles the eyes.

he……

Is this selling stolen goods?

Or smuggling? Bribery?

Qin Muyu had no intention of offending anyone and wanted to leave immediately, but he heard chaotic footsteps outside. The guards had already rushed up to the second floor and were searching everyone one by one.

His expression tensed, and he flipped over and rolled behind the bead curtain, strangling the man's neck.

"Sorry, no offense intended!"

"If someone comes in later, you should know what to say."

He stood behind the couch and strangled the man from behind.

The man opened his hands and leaned lazily on the soft couch. He looked up at the boy's upside-down face. It was fair and soft, with a bit of embarrassment from running away, and a bit of wolf-like ferocity.

"Little boy, are you lost?"

The man's voice was deep and penetrating, like the sound of a bell from the distant night.

Qin Muyu clenched his fingers:

"Don't talk! I'll break your neck!"
