Su Qu's painful expression faded away, and replaced with a heartless smile, "Then senior brother, can you plead for me?"
Gu Wei frowned, and Su Qu immediately changed his strategy and went to beg Xie Ling, pulling her sleeve and shaking her.
"Sister-in-law, please ask my senior brother to plead for me. Sister-in-law is kind and kind-hearted. She certainly doesn't want to see me being beaten to pieces........."
Just as he was saying this, a group of soldiers suddenly came up from the end of the market with sharp eyes.
The three of them immediately lowered their heads and disguised themselves as street vendors.
The laughter and joy all around also came to an abrupt end.
The entire market was silent, with only the sound of the soldiers' swords clashing against each other.
After so many years of Yang Chang's rule, the people of Ningzhou have developed a fear of officials and a dislike of soldiers. They are afraid and annoyed when they see officials and soldiers, and they all wish they could pour a basin of manure on their heads.
The leading soldier shouted, "What's the matter? Keep talking! We are just arresting the killer as a matter of routine. We will never wrongly accuse any good person."
After a pause, the soldier continued, "We are not soldiers from Ningzhou. We are subordinates of Lord Xiao from Jincheng."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they were not Yang Chang's men.
Someone boldly asked, "Are you arresting the knight who killed Yang Chang? Excuse me, he is the best man! Yang Chang has been robbing women, treating human lives as nothing, charging random fees... The crimes he has committed are too numerous to count on one hand!"
The soldier frowned. "His crime was determined by the imperial court. We are just soldiers under the command of our superiors. We are only following orders."
After saying that, the soldier began to look at the people around him.
To be honest, he never thought that the killer would hide in the vegetable market. After all, the vegetable market is crowded with people and it is not a suitable hiding place.
So the soldier's eyes were careless and he just glanced at it quickly.
But when the soldier passed by a cabbage stall, his eyes stopped.
Behind the small cart stood a tall man in black. He looked naturally noble and cold, as eye-catching as an orchid or a jade tree. He could only be described as a crane standing out among chickens.
It was as if what was placed in front of him was not piles of cabbage, but a chess game full of murderous intentions.
Xiao Yuliang's instructions instantly appeared in the soldier's mind.
"Just look at who has the most noble temperament in the crowd, and who has the most lazy and unparalleled manner. The face can be changed, but the temperament cannot."
He immediately shouted, pointing at Gu Wei, "Over there!"
Gu Weimeng overturned the stall in front of him, blocking the way of the group of soldiers, then pulled Xie Ling up and ran forward!
Su Qu was left behind again. He watched Gu Wei running away with a confused look on his face, and then he used his lightness skills to catch up with him with a wronged look on his face.
"Brother, there is still me!"
The citizens around saw the three people running so fast and whispered to each other.
"Could they be the chivalrous knights who are brave enough to do what is right?"
"I think so, otherwise why would the soldiers arrest them?"
"Then we have to help our benefactor!"
All the citizens spontaneously stood in front of the soldiers or pushed carts to block the road ahead to buy time for Gu Wei and his men.
Zhu Laoer, who was selling pork, even threw a pot of wine in the direction where Gu Wei and the others were escaping!
"Hello, my good man!"
On Gu Wei's side, after running out of the vegetable market, the group made many turns in the neighborhood and finally got rid of the soldiers.
But Su Qu fainted while running!
Gu Wei was half confused and half angry. He grabbed him by the collar and dragged him into an alley.
Xie Ling took Su Qu's pulse.
"Overwork, poisoning, surgery, fever... and more..."
Xie Ling paused, looking puzzled.
"There is a very strange power in his body. That power is like poison, but it is not poison. I will study it carefully."
Gu Wei looked solemn, "I'll go and lead the soldiers away, you show him."
Xie Ling nodded.
Su Qu was first given acupuncture, and then some medicine to relieve fatigue.
After a while, he woke up and blinked his eyes. "Sister-in-law, you saved me? Thank you. Where is my brother?"
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Wei came back, his handsome face slightly sweaty, probably because he had fooled the group of soldiers around.
As soon as he came over, he immediately grabbed Su Qu by the collar and said, "What did you do, kid? Tell the truth!"
Su Qu shrank his neck, "I did, I sneaked out. Elder Shu came to look for some magical flower, so I followed him. Then I happened to hear that Ningzhou was an empty city, and I thought this was a good opportunity, so..."
Gu Wei grabbed Su Qu's collar tightly, pulling him so hard that he couldn't breathe. His thin lips raised a cold arc, "You're trying to trick me, aren't you?"
Su Qu had an expression that said, "I will calmly face any storm that comes," but his left hand quietly pulled Xie Ling's sleeve while Gu Wei was not paying attention.
Her big watery eyes stared at Xie Ling, and her long eyelashes cast a fan-like shadow, conveying a meaning.
Save me, sister-in-law!
I have to say that Su Qu is really good at acting cute, and he has the delicate looks of a beautiful young man. Even Xie Ling, a straight girl, was bewitched by him. She walked up to Gu Wei, grabbed his sleeve, and said.
"Please say it again. I didn't understand what you meant just now. What do you mean by 'trick you'?"
Gu Wei gave Su Qu a cold look.
"This kid ran away, and he must have attracted the attention of Elder Shu. Elder Shu might be looking for him!
I asked him why he insisted on leaving the city with us, and it turned out that he wanted us to help him escape from Elder Shu's pursuit, but I told you, it's impossible."
"Brother, you have helped me so much since I was a child, this one time is not enough. Please!"
