After a long time, Jiang Jiuyue still didn't wait for anyone to arrive, and she was really a little sleepy from waiting.
Time slowly came to two o'clock in the morning, and the people over there still did not make any movement, as if they had simply given up on the operation.
Jiang Jiuyue estimated that since they had lost two people in a row, they also knew that there was probably a trap in the room, so they didn't dare to act rashly again.
When it was time that Jiang Jiuyue had calculated to leave, she released Liu Tianci from the space, picked him up in her hand, and went out directly through the window.
Taking advantage of the night, Jiang Jiuyue took Liu Tianci out of the post station and walked quickly into the woods.
After entering the woods, Jiang Jiuyue made sure that no one was following or monitoring him, so he stuffed Liu Tianci back into the space and ran towards the next town empty-handed.
The place Jiang Jiuyue was going to was quite far away from the post station, a county town separated from it by a town.
At her current speed, she should be able to catch up with the city gate opening.
At daybreak, Jiang Jiuyue arrived at the city gate and entered the city with a group of people who were carrying vegetables to sell outside the city.
After entering the city, Jiang Jiuyue found an empty alley and released Liu Tianci.
Liu Tianci hadn't woken up yet, so Jiang Jiuyue sprayed some medicine on him. Not long after, he opened his eyes in a daze.
"Where is this?"
Liu Tianci didn't know what was going on yet, so Jiang Jiuyue explained casually, "This is Yanggu Town, get up quickly, let's go buy a carriage."
He sat up and asked, "Are we in Yanggu Town? How did we get here?"
Jiang Jiuyue rolled her eyes and said, "I carried you here. You were drugged and you wouldn't wake up no matter how hard I called you. I just carried you here."
Liu Tianci felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He actually let Jiang Jiuyue, a woman, carry him for such a long distance.
"Okay, don't be shy, buy me breakfast, and then go buy a carriage, we have to travel quickly."
Jiang Jiuyue now really wants to send Liu Tianci to the capital as soon as possible. As long as he arrives in the capital, any trouble Liu Tianci encounters will no longer be her business.
Liu Tianci stood up quickly. Although he was still weak and had no strength, he still forced himself to walk out of the alley with Jiang Jiuyue and found a breakfast shop to have breakfast.
After breakfast, the two of them found a carriage shop and bought a carriage. They also found a broker to buy a driver and continued on their journey.
They changed their route, trying to get around towns as much as possible and no longer staying at post stations in the wilderness at night.
After walking for a few days without encountering any trouble, Jiang Jiuyue gradually relaxed.
But on this day, when they were about to enter Qingzhou County, they found that the inspection at the city gate was extremely strict, as if they were investigating some serious criminal.
Jiang Jiuyue glanced at Liu Tianci and said, "Are they here to arrest you? Are they arresting you now in the open?"
Liu Tianci's heart sank. His disguised identity had probably been exposed long ago. If the county guards were really checking him because of him, then he would definitely not be able to get away with his identity as a scholar.
After thinking for a while, he took out a set of clothes that ordinary merchants would wear from the innermost part of the bag, changed into a scholar's robe, and took out some bottles and jars.
"Mom, I'll bear with you for a bit. I'll put on some yellow powder and pretend to be seriously ill. Let's change our identities and see if we can get away with it."
Jiang Jiuyue immediately understood his intention, took one of the jars, took out some ointment, and applied it on her face.
After applying the ointment, Jiang Jiuyue's face looked extremely ugly, as if she was seriously ill and was about to die.
Liu Tianci brought a blanket and spread it next to him, letting Jiang Jiuyue lie down on it, while he himself sat beside her with an anxious expression.
Soon it was their turn to be checked. As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Liu Tianci said with tears in his eyes, "Sir, my mother is seriously ill. I heard that there is an old doctor in Qingzhou County who is very skilled in medicine. We are here to try our luck."
Jiang Jiuyue cooperated very well. He lay there and coughed heart-wrenchingly, which made the guards who came to check on him look disgusted.
The guard who lifted the door curtain waved his hand at his companions and said, "Forget it. He's a tuberculosis patient. Look at his yellow face. I'm afraid he's going to die soon. Please don't infect us. One by one."
As he spoke, the guard let down the door curtain, meaning that people could pass.
The driver hurriedly drove the carriage away. When the carriage passed the guard, Jiang Jiuyue heard the guard complain, "There is no such thing as a scholar who killed someone. We have been investigating for several days. It's almost killing us brothers."
Jiang Jiuyue raised her eyebrows. It sounded like the scholar who killed people was really coming for Liu Tianci.
In order to avoid trouble, Jiang Jiuyue simply pretended to be seriously ill. Whenever Liu Tianci encountered inspection at the city gate, he would cry that his mother was seriously ill and he had to look for a doctor everywhere. Jiang Jiuyue would cooperate by coughing wildly and actually got through several towns.
As they got closer to the capital, Jiang Jiuyue also felt that Liu Tianci was becoming more serious.
Before she could ask, Liu Tianci said, "It's not that easy to get into the capital. This little trick won't fool the people in the capital."
Jiang Jiuyue rolled her eyes and said, "As long as I send you to the capital, the mission will be accomplished, right?"
Liu Tianci nodded and said, "As long as you let me enter the capital, you don't have to worry about the rest."
Jiang Jiuyue held his shoulders and asked, "Do you trust me?"
Liu Tianci was a little confused, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Jiuyue said seriously, "I have a way to bring you to the capital, but I have to knock you out first. When you wake up, you will be in the capital. Don't ask me how to bring you in. Don't listen to other people's tricks."
Liu Tianci thought about it. That time in the post station, he was knocked unconscious. Jiang Jiuyue dealt with the people who came to kill him and took him to Yanggu County. If Jiang Jiuyue was not trustworthy, he would have died thousands of times already.
"Okay, I believe you."
Jiang Jiuyue nodded with satisfaction, "I will definitely get you to the capital safely, as long as you trust me."
Liu Tianci inexplicably felt much more at ease. Since Jiang Jiuyue dared to guarantee it, she must have the confidence. He just needed to believe her.
The two pretended to be a seriously ill couple seeking medical treatment and passed through several counties before finally arriving at a town near the capital.
This town was only an hour away from the capital. When they arrived in the town, they did not rush to the capital, but found an inn to rest for a while.
Jiang Jiuyue went to the clothing store in town and bought a silk dress and some headwear, all with Liu Tianci's money.
She disguised herself as a beautiful lady and returned to the inn.
Under Liu Tianci's puzzled gaze, Jiang Jiuyue took out a bottle of medicine and poured it directly into his mouth.
It had only been a few seconds since Liu Tianci swallowed the potion when he felt dizzy. He blinked a few times and then passed out.
