Chen Daoyu's heart was beating like a drum. He threw the child in his arms to Mrs. Chen beside him and walked towards Gu Wei's room with a staggering figure.
He remembered that Gu Wei's room was here. They must not have woken up yet. How dare they escape...
Chen Daoyu took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
Before I could see what was inside, a spicy smell suddenly hit me!
Chen Daoyu only felt a sharp pain and then started coughing violently uncontrollably.
Tears and snot flowed out together, and his whole face was as red as a braised pig's head.
When he calmed down and looked into the room, his heart suddenly felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave in that sultry summer day.
Gu Wei and the others really escaped!
How dare they!
And he didn't know what was put in it, which made him cough so hard that his lungs were broken, and his whole body from his eyes to the soles of his feet became hot!
Chen Daoyu held on to the door frame tightly with both hands. Two severe blows in one day made him so angry that he spat out blood!
Of course Chen Daoyu didn't know that this was the spicy powder that Xie Ling had carefully prepared for several days.
If I get a little bit of it on me, it would feel like I’ve eaten hundreds of peppers. It would be extremely painful, with tears and snot flowing together.
Just then a gust of wind blew by, and the spicy powder spread with the wind.
The inn was immediately filled with the sound of sneezes. Everyone was crying and having snot. Their throats were extremely dry, as if a hand was scratching them.
"What's going on! Aqiu——"
“So spicy!”
"Shuishui, I want to drink water!"
Xie Ling actually wanted to kill them at first.
But he was stopped by Gu Wei.
Chen Daoyu is an important official of Beijiang and the most trusted person of the prince, with numerous connections behind him.
If they run away, the prince will at most be furious.
But if Chen Daoyu was killed, no one could guarantee that the prince would not go crazy enough to attack Xie Ling's family in Shangjing.
Although Xie Ling has severed her relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, Aunt An is her biological mother after all.
It is not impossible that the prince wants to kill a concubine to vent his anger.
Chen Daoyu wanted to kill them, but he couldn't do it when they were escaping. He had to wait until he took Aunt An and the two Uncle An away and everything was settled, and then he would find a chance later.
In the corridor of the inn, neither gang was in a good condition, all were injured and covered in blood.
Chen Daoyu's mind was spinning rapidly. He stared at the leader of the bandits for a long while, then suddenly shouted, "Stop fighting! We surrender!"
"Surrender?" The refugee leader spat out a mouthful of blood and phlegm, "I want your lives!"
Chen Daoyu held onto the railing on the corridor, trying to maintain his balance. He said in a cold voice, "If you still want your brothers to die like this, then keep fighting! At worst, we'll fight to the death, and neither of us will give in!
Your brothers are all refugees, they fought with you for the throne when they were young, and now they are dead without even a complete body. Are you doing justice to them?
Besides, I am a scholar, I know everything about writing and clerical work. With me as your civil servant, it will be much easier for you to do things in the future!"
After Chen Daoyu finished speaking, he immediately turned around, leaving only his back to the people below, letting them think for themselves.
I have to say that Chen Daoyu is quite good at winning people's hearts.
After these words were spoken, all the refugees below slowed down their movements and looked blankly.
Who wants to die? Who doesn’t want to live a good life?
Now you can get supplies without having to fight any more, and you can also have a military advisor and civilian official. Who wouldn’t be tempted?
The same goes for Leader Shen and Wan Qi.
They are fine though.
But his brothers were either dead or disabled, and their situation was not much better.
Gradually, everyone put down their weapons.
A battle was quietly resolved with just a few words from Chen Daoyu.
Chen Daoyu looked very majestic when he spoke loudly just now, but in fact only he knew how nervous he was.
Looking at the refugees' reactions, Chen Daoyu let out a long sigh.
The tall man at the head of the group was able to become the leader, which showed that he had some courage.
He immediately threw away the big knife in his hand, walked over and held Wan Qi's hand, "Brother, I was attracted by your excellent knife skills just now, and we are one family from now on!"
Wan Qi had followed Chen Daoyu these days and had learned a lot about the art of disguise. He was stunned for only two seconds before he started laughing.
"From now on you will be our big brother!"
Chen Daoyu and his group became bandits and joined the group of refugees in Wuming Town.
After only one day, Chen Daoyou used his eloquence to claim to be the king of the world and fooled the leader of the refugees.
That night, the refugee leader was filled with excitement. He took his thousand soldiers, including the old, the weak and the sick, and was ready to use Chen Daoyou's strategy to attack Jeju City at night!
Chen Daoyu naturally followed him.
When he reached the side door at the city gate, he took advantage of the night to slip into Jeju City and ran towards the prefect's residence!
At this time, Xiao Yuliang, the prefect of Jeju, was reviewing documents in his study, listening to his subordinates talking about the situation of transporting civilians out of the city.
“Half of them have been given away?”
"Yes, sir. Only half of the items are left to be delivered. As you said, we will give priority to the elderly, pregnant women and children. Young people run faster, so we should be able to finish delivering them in the next few days."
Xiao Yuliang didn't know what he was thinking about. He paused with his brush and sighed heavily.
"Shi Jin, it's not that I won't help you, I have my people, my family..."
Just as I was thinking about it, a servant came running over in a hurry.
"My lord, someone named Chen Daoyu is looking for you!"
Xiao Yuliang stood up suddenly, a look of disbelief on his face.
"How could that be? Logically, there are still two days left!"
Xiao Yuliang ran out in a hurry and bumped into Chen Daoyu head-on.
