Chapter 184 Trial 5
But whether he likes it or not, Wei Xiao has no choice but to follow this guy now. He is a plot character he met in the last mission. He has no other goal if he doesn't follow him.
On the second night, Zhuzi and his old mother packed up the house's valuables and quietly left the house.
Wei Xiao followed this guy closely. Through the observation over the past two days, he already knew that Zhuzi was the only one left in his family, along with his old mother.
The mother and son were planning to escape...
Wei Xiao felt a little strange. In the past two days, he didn't notice anyone staring at him. Apart from himself, there was really no one else...
Wei Xiao followed the mother and son and walked towards the mountains behind.
"Zhu Zi, do you think you can really escape if we go into the mountains?" Zhu Zi's mother was really scared.
"Mom, let's leave first and talk about it first!" Zhuzi felt like a pair of eyes were staring at him these two days. It was like a thorn in his back. It was really uncomfortable. He couldn't wait any longer.
He had prepared some things on the mountain, and he didn't want his mother to be in any danger.
"Oh!" Zhuzi's mother was panicking. She thought her son might have done something wrong, but she didn't dare to ask her son for fear of upsetting him.
Zhuzi's mother's husband died early, and she has to live with this one son. No matter what, she wants to protect her son, so no matter what her son asks her to do, she will listen.
Zhuzi's mother didn't ask any questions, and Wei Xiao became a little anxious.
However, when the mother and son climbed up the mountain and Wei Xiao reached halfway up the mountain, he discovered that something was wrong in the village at the foot of the mountain. A team of horsemen carrying torches had surrounded Zhuzi's house.
Zhuzi's house is located in a relatively remote area, so Wei Xiao can see it at a glance.
And it was obvious that Zhuzi's mother also saw it when she turned around, "Zhuzi, someone has surrounded our house."
Zhuzi said calmly, "Mom, let's keep going. We can't stop. We're almost there!"
Wei Xiao followed closely behind the mother and son, and then followed Zhuzi directly through a rocky area. He originally thought that they would definitely pass the rocky area, but what Wei Xiao did not expect was that Zhuzi actually dug a hole under one of the boulders, and soon, the mother and son went in.
Wei Xiao hid behind a nearby boulder. Some of the people from the team at the foot of the mountain had already chased up the mountain, but it was hard to see any traces at night. In addition, the pillar was very careful and the path he walked on was a path trampled by everyone. He did not walk around randomly, so it was difficult for these people to find any traces.
Someone also found this rocky area, but found nothing and left quickly.
Wei Xiao watched the group of people leave the village, but when they left, they burned down Zhuzi's house.
Wei Xiao thought that things should be quiet now, but what he didn't expect was that five or six teams came that night. However, after seeing the house burned down, these people immediately chased out. It must be said that Zhuzi and his mother were quite lucky. If the first group of people hadn't set the fire, the people behind them would probably have had to go up the mountain. Maybe someone with good luck would have guessed that the mother and son had gone up the mountain.
Early the next morning, Wei Xiao heard some noise and woke up. The pillar crawled out of the cave. He found a huge rock and hid behind it, looking down the mountain.
At this time, Wei Xiao spoke up, "A total of six teams came this evening. Except for the first team that set a fire, the rest were chasing that team."
When Zhuzi saw Wei Xiao, he was not surprised. He asked, "Are you the outsider?"
Wei Xiao nodded, "That's right!" It seems that this kid knows a lot!
Zhuzi said, "I only have one request, and that is to protect my mother."
Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Have you ever killed anyone?"
Zhuzi shook his head. "No! The last few times they went to that valley to look for people, someone pointed them to the place, but those people, without exception, eventually died."
"Then why did you go and give directions again?"
"I know their procedures, and I want to escape." But I didn't expect that I would fail...
Wei Xiao looked at him and said, "Don't you think you should take care of your mother yourself? If you die, do you think he can survive alone?"
Zhuzi shook his head. "But I have no other choice. I got a secret document and everyone is looking for me."
"Then the people who were looking for you the other day are in trouble." Wei Xiao was a little speechless. Those two were just looking for trouble.
Zhuzi sighed, "I have no other choice. The only person I can protect now is my mother. I can't escape myself."
Wei Xiao stretched out his hand directly, "Give me the secret document, and you take your mother away." While speaking, Wei Xiao directly gave him two pills, "After taking them, you can disguise yourself for a month. A month is enough time for you to stay away from here."
Zhuzi's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at the pill and said, "I have to try it first!"
Before he could continue, Zhuzi's mother came over and said, "Let me try!" She picked up the pill and swallowed it.
Wei Xiao reminded, "When you take the pill, think of a very ordinary face."
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhuzi's mother's appearance changed. Zhuzi looked at his mother and was so excited, "Mom, you really changed."
Zhuzi's mother said, "Why don't you eat quickly? Let's go to your grandmother's house. It's deep in the mountains. Unless you know the way, no one can get there."
She originally escaped from there for freedom, and she didn't even know that one day in the future, she would return to that place and even take her son with her.
Zhuzi took the pill obediently, and soon he became a different person.
Wei Xiao said, "This pill is only effective for one month."
Zhuzi's mother said, "Thank you, benefactor!" No matter what, the other party helped her and Zhuzi and was their savior. Not to mention that the other party took the confidential documents, as long as everyone's attention was no longer on her son, she would definitely have a way to escape with her son.
Zhuzi and his mother quickly left with the packages, but they did not run into the mountains from here. Instead, they went down the mountain and took the sea route. After all, Zhuzi's mother's hometown was not here. She had fled very far before she got here. Now she was returning the same way. She was really a little nervous, but after passing the checkpoint by the sea, Zhuzi's mother had actually relaxed.
After all, the people on the boat they were on were all ordinary people with ordinary looks, and there were a lot of them. She and her son's looks were not that outstanding, so even if they suddenly returned to their original appearance in the middle of the journey, it would not attract anyone's attention.
As for Wei Xiao, after Zhuzi and Zhuzi's mother left, he read the secret document, which turned out to be a letter requesting help, and the most important thing was the letter for help from the emperor.
This letter is naturally very important. As long as someone has this letter, it means that he can directly take the letter to Liangjing to support the king.
This is a legitimate opportunity to be the one standing at the top. As for whether to seize the royal power or not, it is no longer important, after all, the king is already in his hands.
So this secret document is really important. After all, the seals and other things on it are real.
