Chaoge guessed that given Leng Qianrou's identity, it would not be so easy for her to leave the county. After all, her husband was the magistrate of a county and it was impossible for him to abandon the city. If that happened, he would have to do nothing to live.
Chaoge prayed in his heart that nothing unexpected would happen, otherwise the belief that the three siblings of the Leng family had maintained all along would definitely collapse!
Seeing that Chaoge and the others insisted on entering the city, the leading man in black nodded and led them in another direction.
Their Qinggong skills were very fast, and soon they had circled to a deserted and deserted area beside a city wall.
With such a high wall, Chaoge thought they definitely couldn't get over it, so they should go through a dog hole, right? After all, that's how novels are written.
Chaoge was just thinking about it, while looking towards the bottom of the city wall, wanting to see what the ancient dog hole looked like, when suddenly the collar on the back of his neck tightened, and he flew into the air!
Before she could exclaim, she looked up and found that they had actually climbed onto the city wall.
The most difficult thing was over, and getting down the city wall was easy for these men in black.
In the blink of an eye, they landed safely and finally entered the Xilin County they had been longing for.
However, there were almost no people around, and only a small number of soldiers patrolling the streets ahead.
Chaoge looked at the desolate scene in the city, and his heart sank again!
"Where does the person you are looking for live? Should we take you there?"
"County government office."
Before Chaoge could refuse, Leng Furong blurted out excitedly!
Hearing Leng Furong's words, Chaoge looked as if he had accepted it. He lowered his eyes in silence, not daring to look directly into the inquiring eyes of the men in black.
"Are your relatives in the county government?!"
Obviously, the five men in black were surprised!
"Uh, he's in the county pawnshop. I haven't seen him for years. I heard he was here three years ago, but I wonder if he's still here now?"
Chaoge took it and replied quickly.
She was afraid that Leng Furong, who was so outspoken, would talk nonsense again and directly expose their identities.
"Then it depends on your luck. If you can't find anyone, what are you going to do?"
After spending a day and a night together, the man in black had developed some sympathy for them, and before leaving, he couldn't help but ask about them with concern.
"I don't know. I haven't thought about it yet."
Chaoge really hadn't thought about it. At most, he just wondered whether Leng Qianrou's husband, the county magistrate, would disown them or even arrest them directly to seek credit?
“Hey, the city is safe for now, but you have also seen the people outside the city.
No one knows when the riot will break out. If the relief grain from the imperial court does not arrive, the problem of the refugees will be difficult to solve.
Therefore, the city gate will not be opened easily unless the county also wants to become a deserted city.
How about this, if you haven’t found your relatives by tomorrow, I will wait for you at the East Gate at 3 p.m. tomorrow. If I don’t come, I will ask my brothers to come.
When the time comes, let them escort you out of the city, and you can continue to head west or southeast, where the drought situation is slightly better."
Hearing the words of the leading black-clad man, Chaoge bowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you for helping us, brother. Fortunately, we have you along the way, otherwise we don't know if we can get here safely.
By the way, take these banknotes. You can take your brothers out for drinks when you have the chance. And those centipedes, don’t you need them? Take them all.
You can take these pieces of meat too, and we will keep two pieces.
Due to the drought, food must be in short supply everywhere. This meat is a reward for the brothers who have taken the trouble to lead us here. We don’t have anything good to thank you for.”
Faced with the help of several people, Chaoge generously gave all these things to them. Even Aunt Li, who felt sorry for the meat, could not help but nod in agreement and expressed gratitude.
"Well, in that case, we'll take the meat.
Anyway, it's hot today, and you won't be able to keep the meat for more than two days. Moreover, if you want to leave the city and continue to escape the famine, roasting the meat will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
But we will not accept this banknote. It is getting late, so we will say goodbye here.
By the way, the county government office is over there in that direction. You can go there by yourselves. There is almost no danger in the city.
Remember what I said before, tomorrow at 3 p.m., whether you leave the city or not, you'd better come."
In Chaoge, they also had a basket of baked buns, steamed buns and wild fruits, so the man in black naturally knew about it.
If they don't accept the silver and don't accept the meat either, Chaoge will definitely feel guilty.
Moreover, if they took the meat out of the city, it would most likely bring them disaster, so the man in black simply nodded in agreement.
After giving the instructions, the man in black took the meat and left with his brothers.
Looking at their backs as they left, Aunt Li was filled with emotion.
"I have been taken care of by him all the way, and I don't even know what he looks like. Hey, what a good person!
There are still many good people in this world!"
It’s no wonder that their night clothes were so scary that one could feel fear at first glance, but Chaoge never expected that they were all kind-hearted people.
It was obvious at first glance that these people were from important backgrounds, especially the fifth brother. His aura was so impressive that he didn't seem like an ordinary person at all.
Chaoge was really curious about who the master behind them was.
With subordinates who are so principled and kind-hearted, I guess their master must be a good person, right?
"Sister, let's go find my sister!
I feel like I'm dreaming. Have we really arrived in Xilin County?"
Leng Furong withdrew her gaze from watching the others leave, tears welling up in her eyes.
