The prisoner escaped!
At the command, the entire capital was under martial law. The guards rushed out with spears in hand, quickly spreading to every street and alley, searching rapidly.
Seeing this, the common people avoided him with a look of fear:
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
“What’s going on…?”
Bang——
Close the city gate!
Amid the crowd, Chu Li and Qin Muyu, who were about to reach the city gate, froze in place. They saw four soldiers carrying a huge bolt and locking it.
"The princess has ordered the arrest of the wanted criminal. No one is allowed to enter or leave the capital until the criminal is captured!"
The people sighed.
The criminal is in the royal capital?
With them?
Wouldn't it hurt them?
"Ah Li, we are still a step late." Qin Muyu leaned against the wall, sweat dripping from his forehead, "I am the one who held you back."
He had cartilage in his body and couldn't run fast.
Chu Li supported him: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"This is a huge capital city with so many people. Even if we want to dig three feet deep, it will take three days and three nights. We still have a chance!"
Since we can't leave the city, we'll just wait.
Wait for the opportunity.
"Let's find a remote place with few people and hide there."
"No." Qin Muyu held her wrist, "Ah Li, we have to go to a crowded place."
A place with many people and a mix of good and bad people is the best place to hide.
Chu Li supported him and rushed to the center of the capital. Everywhere he looked, he saw groups of guards running by:
"Is there one over there?"
"Investigate thoroughly!"
"Don't miss any store or location..."
"quick!"
The two of them lowered their heads slightly. There were so many people around them that they didn't attract any attention for a while. However, this was not a solution.
You have to get rid of the cartilage powder as soon as possible.
"Muyu, there's a clinic over there!"
"Do you have any silver?"
Chu Li was silent, "Shall I try buying on credit?"
She glanced around and immediately helped Qin Muyu into a dark alley. "Wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
“Ahri…”
"One person is not noticeable, but if we are together, we will be easily seen."
After quickly settling Qin Muyu down, Chu Li turned around and ran out of the alley and walked into the clinic.
In order not to attract attention, she deliberately chose a small clinic. There was only one middle-aged doctor sitting in the clinic. The clinic was small and narrow, with only one candle lit, and it was dim.
There is a person in line in front.
A woman in her forties, wearing a headscarf, cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch,"
"Doctor, please take a look at me. I can't lift my hand. It hurts so much when I do."
The middle-aged doctor stood up and took a look at the woman.
He stroked his beard and said:
"This is a good doctor."
"Don't lift it up, it won't hurt."
The woman put her hand down, and the pain in her elbow was gone. She couldn't help but look delighted: "Dr. Cai is a miracle doctor! He is truly a miracle doctor!"
"Fifteen coppers."
"Thank you, thank you!"
The woman paid the consultation fee and left happily.
Chu Li didn't know what expression to make. The look on his face was hard to describe. He was ready to turn around and go to another clinic.
"etc!"
The middle-aged doctor suddenly called her.
"Sir, wait a minute!"
Chu Li tilted his head, "What's the matter?"
He walked quickly forward and grabbed Chu Li's hand. His eyes seemed very excited and he kept staring at her face as if he was confirming something.
It was at this moment that Chu Li caught a glimpse of the image drawn on the table out of the corner of his eye.
The arresting officer’s portrait showed her and Qin Muyu.
Chu Li smiled:
"Doctor, I suddenly feel dizzy, so dizzy... I can't walk, ah... I'm going to faint..."
"Don't worry, young master. I will save you right away!"
The doctor looked delighted and turned to get the rope from behind the cabinet.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he was hit on the back of his head by the inkstone, and fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back.
"quack!"
He snatched the fifteen copper coins from his hand and stomped on him before leaving. But he saw a group of guards running over from a distance, searching every shop. He immediately lowered his head and ran back into the dark alley.
"Ahri!"
"They've searched the area. It's not safe here anymore. We have to leave quickly."
Chu Li helped Qin Muyu up, but before he could run away, he saw the guards running into the clinic and waking up the quack doctor.
The quack doctor complained harshly:
"I saw the fugitive in the portrait! Just now! He went over there!"
Chu Li's eyelids twitched.
I saw eight guards running towards the dark alley.
She and Qin Muyu could only run into the alley, but when they reached the deepest part, they found it was a dead end.
It’s all over!
There is no way!
Behind him, several messy footsteps were chasing closely and would soon be approaching. If he was caught this time, he didn't know what he would face, and he would have no chance to escape next time.
Qin Muyu glanced around and made a quick decision:
"Climb over this wall."
The wall was about three meters high. It was difficult for Chu Li to climb over it, not to mention Qin Muyu who was poisoned by the cartilage powder.
"Ahri, step on my back!"
"What about you?"
"You turn over first. I have my own way."
"No, I want to be with you." Chu Li could never leave him alone.
Qin Muyu held her shoulders and said in a deep voice:
"Ahri, we have known each other for so many years, don't you trust me? I won't let you worry."
"But……"
"Hurry, if we delay any longer, we won't be able to escape!"
Without saying much, Qin Muyu bent down and said, "Come up!"
Chu Li bit her lower lip, stepped on his back, and using the strength from his straightening his waist, pushed him upwards and climbed over the high wall.
“They’re over there!”
"Chase after them!"
"Muyu!"
The guards are chasing us!
Chu Li's expression tightened and his heartbeat almost reached his throat. He thought he had reached a dead end. Then he saw Qin Muyu bend his waist and crawl through the dog hole next to him.
"?"
There is a dog hole here, why didn’t she see it just now?
The guards wanted to chase them, but Qin Muyu was guarding the dog hole. Whoever stuck his head out, he would hit him with a stick, like playing whack-a-mole.
The guards shouted:
"Let's go around it!"
"quick!"
They quickly surrounded them.
Qin Muyu threw the stick and said, "We can't stay here for long. Let's run!"
Chu Li was a little stunned, "Since there is a dog hole there, why don't we crawl through it together?"
"Ah Li, you are a prince and a woman, how can I let you crawl through a dog hole?"
What about him?
They say there is gold under a man's knees, so he just knelt down, crawled over and drilled in.
"We are running for our lives now, there is no need to be so fussy. If you do this again next time and get caught, I will not care about you anymore."
It's already this time and you're still caring about your face.
Qin Muyu said, "I'm worried that there might be a dog in the dog hole, but I'm also worried about letting you run behind me."
When they were young, they played together every day and crawled through many dog holes.
Once when he was crawling through a dog hole, he ran into a big wolfdog head-on and almost scared Chu Li to death.
From then on, he practiced martial arts desperately. He accompanied his students at the Royal Academy during the day and went home to practice martial arts at night. He worked hard to build up his internal strength so that when he skipped classes and climbed over the wall in the future, he could use his lightness skills to carry Chu Li over.
Chu Li's nose felt dry:
"You are stupid!"
She has grown up and is no longer afraid of dogs.
“Woof woof—”
"Whose big dog is this? Run!"
