"Oh! So it's used to confuse the enemy. What a good idea." Ruan Qing was afraid that she had taken the wrong path, so she ordered Mao Liu'er, "You lead the way. You are quite capable. You dug so many branch roads, like a spider web. Without you leading the way, no one can get out."
Mao Liu'er was flattered by the praise and said proudly: "Of course, you don't see who I am. I, Mao Liu'er, have always been cautious and careful in doing things." I was forced to do this trip today by you, otherwise I would not do such a risky thing.
The two of them walked quickly forward, with Naituanzi lying on Ruan Qing's shoulder and quietly dropping a golden melon seed every few steps.
She counted every one of them and was waiting for the matter to be over so that she could ask Wang Mingkui to return them. These were her things and she couldn't give them away casually.
Mao Liuer and Ruan Qing ran very fast. Chu Xiaoxiao didn't wait until the people behind them caught up with her. She had no choice but to keep scattering golden melon seeds.
The black-haired man was carried on Mao Liu'er's shoulders and was running at a very uncomfortable speed. If it weren't for his cooperation with his master, he really wanted to knock the man down with one punch.
What's going on? He's almost spilling out his overnight meal.
How much longer would he have to run before he could be put down? He could no longer hold on.
Can......
The master was doing a good job of pretending to be dead, but if he couldn't continue pretending and ruined the master's plan, would he be disliked?
Just keep pretending to be dead!
Mao Liu'er was a very shrewd man. No one had walked in the secret passage for a long time. As they walked, many footprints were left on the ground. He looked back with the torch in his hand, and felt that this was not a good way, so he stopped.
Ruan Qing almost bumped into him without paying attention. She couldn't help but yelled with a gloomy face: "What are you doing? Why did you stop while walking? Let's leave quickly! Only when we leave the city will we be safe."
"You don't understand." Mao Liuer pointed at the footprints on the ground and said, "Look back. These footprints on the ground are evidence for the people behind us."
When Ruan Qing heard him say this, she quickly turned around and looked at the ground. There were indeed two rows of footprints, which were very obvious.
The secret passage had not seen the sun for many years, and due to the rain, many places were bumpy and muddy. Once you stepped on it, it would immediately leave a deep footprint.
If the people behind them caught up with them, they wouldn't have to look around for clues of where they left. They could tell where they went just by looking at these footprints.
The branch roads dug by Mao Liuer and his men were basically just for show and did not serve any purpose.
"What should we do?" Ruan Qing was anxious and nervous, "Mao Liu'er, you are fast, leave footprints on every branch of the road.
In this case, no matter if there are people chasing us or not, they won’t be able to find us so quickly because we have set up a maze.”
Mao Liuer felt that Ruan Qing was very smart and she came up with an idea in a matter of seconds.
"Okay! I'll listen to you. Wait here, I'll do it right away."
"Go! Go! Put your swift feet to good use. You can walk through all these forks in less than a quarter of an hour."
Ruan Qing knew how to motivate Mao Liuer. She stood aside holding the milk ball in her arms and watched him running on every fork in the road with his black hair as if he was full of energy.
Naituanzi quietly dropped three golden melon seeds and stacked them together, hoping that the person sent by Wang Mingkui could understand her intention and not be deceived by Mao Liuer's conspiracy.
The footprints on the fork in the road are fake.
This was a trick he suddenly thought of, the purpose of which was to slow down the pursuit and create a time difference for them.
The black-haired guy was in a miserable state. Mao Liuer's shoulder was on his stomach, holding him up like a sack. He held his legs with both hands and kept running.
He wanted to punch him several times. This Northern thief was really hateful. He was not a sack, so why did he have to torture him like this?
If he continued running, his stomach would really not be able to bear it anymore. Should he fight or not?
[Humph! Mao Liu'er is a fool. What's the point of doing this? There are more than one or two people coming from Jingzhao Prefecture. Just in case, they will definitely send people to check every road.
I, a two-year-old child, know this, so why don't you know it? You think you're smart, but I don't know how much water is in your head. 】
Black charcoal head: "......"
No need to ask, the bottle is definitely not full, and half of it is shaken. Not everyone can think of such a dirty trick.
My master is really smart. He can think of all kinds of possibilities with his quick thinking.
Yes, it is impossible that Wang Mingkui would send only one or two people down the secret passage to chase after them. If they were to come, there must be a group of people. It would be useless to dig more branches in the secret passage. If people are sent to check each one, there will always be one correct one.
Mao Liuer didn't think so. He felt that as long as he delayed their time and let them leave the city, it would be like fish returning to the sea. It would be impossible to find them.
But he forgot one thing. Would Master Dongsheng let them swim into the sea so easily?
That's definitely impossible.
After running through all the forks, he felt that it was almost time, so he returned to Ruan Qing panting and said, "Let's go. They won't come so quickly. Let's get out quickly and take the people out of the city."
"Okay! You lead the way!"
This secret passage was Mao Liuer's major, and she had never been here before, so naturally he was the one to lead the way.
The little boy lay on Ruan Qing's shoulder without moving, looking like he was fast asleep, but his little mouth moved from time to time.
No one paid attention to her action. Ruan Qing thought she was talking in her sleep, but she didn't know that she was chanting a spell to summon Zi Yan.
Although it was daytime, the secret passage was dark and gloomy, which was a good opportunity for Zi Yan to appear. Wasn't she going to teach Ruan Qing a lesson? This was a good opportunity.
Zi Yan received the call from the Imperial Master and transformed into a breeze, avoiding the sunlight and moving towards the tofu shop from the shadows.
She entered the secret passage, revealed her true form, and followed the Imperial Master's spell. After a while, she saw the madam of Baihua Tower, the woman who had pushed her down the stairs, walking out with a man holding the Imperial Master in her arms.
The little boy secretly lifted one eyelid and said one word silently with his little mouth: "Beat!"
Zi Yan was overjoyed. She nodded, opened her mouth and blew, and the torch in Ruan Qing's hand went out immediately. She blew again, and the torch in Mao Liu'er's hand also went out.
"What's going on? Where does the wind come from in this place?" Ruan Qing felt incredible. "Why do I have goose bumps all over my body? Mao Liu'er! Did you kill anyone in this secret passage?"
"No! This secret passage was dug by the four of us, how could anyone be killed? Don't be afraid, it must be the wind blowing in from the exit. If the torch goes out, just light it again."
Mao Liu'er's words made Ruan Qing feel more at ease. She immediately urged, "Take out the fire starter and light it quickly."
Just as she finished speaking, a cold hand touched her neck, and she was so scared that she almost screamed, but unfortunately she didn't scream because her mouth was covered by another cold hand.
