On the other side, Gu Wei changed from lifting to hugging, and held Xie Ling in his arms like a princess, and quickly slipped into a narrow alley.
Su Qu followed closely and grabbed Gu Wei's sleeve.
"Brother, you are not following the moral code of martial arts. How could you abandon me and run away with your little wife alone?"
Gu Wei's eyes were cold, "Why are you following me? I'm telling you, I'm doing you the greatest favor by not punishing you for killing people on behalf of my family. This trip is very important, don't cause me any more trouble."
As they were talking, the sound of soldiers' orderly footsteps suddenly came from outside the alley.
Gu Wei frowned.
Xiao Yuliang is really capable. He gathered all the soldiers in the city so quickly!
Fortunately, most of the soldiers were no longer in the city, otherwise we would have been unable to escape today.
Xie Ling looked around and pointed at a haystack in front of a citizen's house not far away, "Let's hide in there!"
The three of them passed by quickly.
Gu Wei touched it and found that the haystack was made of fluffy straw. It looked very fluffy on the outside, but it was hollow in the middle, enough to hide two people.
He quickly pulled Xie Ling inside.
Su Qu on the side also followed suit and hid inside, pulling out a few straws to block in front of himself.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, sometimes a dog would suddenly bark twice, breaking the silence.
As the soldiers walked, their long boots made a tapping sound on the bluestone slabs.
After a while, a group of soldiers stopped in front of the haystack.
Through the scattered straw, several people could even clearly see the soldier's hand on his sword, tapping the hilt intermittently.
"Boss, there's none on this street."
"Master Xiao said they must have run this way, and asked us to search this area urgently. Let's wait and see."
As he spoke, the soldier leaned back, perhaps because he was tired or something.
His entire butt passed over the straw branches and was facing Su Qu's face.
Su Qu closed his eyes and reminded himself with gritted teeth.
Listening Snow Tower cannot kill people recklessly, Listening Snow Tower cannot kill people recklessly...
"puff---"
The soldier actually farted right in Su Qu's face!
Su Qujun's face suddenly turned dark, and the veins on the hand holding the sword instantly became visible.
Fuck you!
Calm down!
If you kill someone again, your master will thrash you to pieces. Just bear with it...
Fortunately, the soldier leaned back and stood up, twisting his neck, "Let's go. Let's go to the other side and take a look."
The group said this and left the alley.
Su Qu gritted his teeth and was about to go out.
Gu Wei thrust his long sword in from the side, stopping his movements and whispering, "Don't go!"
Su Qu listened to Gu Wei and retreated obediently.
After a while, the team of soldiers came back!
The leader looked around and made sure there was nothing suspicious. Then he put away his suspicion and really left the alley with his men.
Three people came out from the haystack.
In the distance, the sound of roosters crowing could be heard one after another, and the sky was turning pale.
In the early morning, many people have already opened their doors or pushed their carts out to sell vegetables and do business.
Or go out to buy breakfast and do morning exercises.
The alley gradually became populated.
Gu Wei stopped a small vendor, handed the man an ingot of silver, and bought all the vegetables on his cart.
"We are purchasing for the restaurant. We want all the stuff in this truck. Let's go home."
The man hurriedly thanked him, "Oh, you are so lucky today. My name is Li Laosan. Next time you buy vegetables, just come to Guihuafang! My vegetables are fresh and cheap!"
The family of three returned home happily.
Gu Wei said to Su Qu: "Take off your coat and put it on inside out."
The material of Su Qu's clothes is so good that he doesn't look like a vegetable vendor at all.
Su Qu did as he was told.
Gu Wei pushed the cart out of the city.
From a distance, I saw several rows of soldiers patrolling there, and the city gates had already been closed.
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes, turned around immediately and went to a vegetable market.
The vegetable market is bustling with people in the morning.
Gu Wei casually put the cart next to a stall and said to Su Tong: "It's daybreak, find a way out by yourself, don't follow us."
Su Qu came over shamelessly and said, "If I guessed correctly, Senior Brother is also running for his life, right? Since we are both from Beijiang, please take me out."
Gu Wei coldly refused, "Impossible, you have to make up for the trouble you caused yourself."
Su Qu suddenly had an idea. He took out a scroll of documents from his sleeve and shook it. "Brother, since you are in disguise, you must be running for your life. If you are running for your life, you must need a reasonable identity. This should be very useful to you."
Gu Wei recognized at a glance that this was the official's appointment document for Beijiang. Just as he was about to reach out and grab it, Su Qu dodged and said, "Brother, please, take me out."
Gu Wei's forehead veins throbbed, "Okay."
Su Qu then placed the document in Gu Wei's hand with a smile, "This is what I saw on the desk in Yang Chang's study when I went to kill that old man.
He killed the official sent from the capital to Lingnan, hoping to replace him with his own people so that he could control the Five Stones Mine.
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes when he heard that.
This document is really useful to him, and of great use!
He was worrying about what identity he should have when going to Lingnan, and this document gave him a legitimate opportunity.
Since it is an official position, it has real power and can also help maintain troops better.
Gu Wei immediately unfolded the document.
The man who was about to take up the post in Lingnan was named Zhou Shijing, and his position was the magistrate of Sinan County.
There is only one character difference between Zhou Shijing's and his, so they are destined to be together.
The map of Beijiang River flashed quickly in Gu Wei’s mind.
