At the same time, Qingfeng and Shao Lecheng successfully squeezed out of the city gate. He looked back worriedly, but finally left without looking back.
In the inn, Duan Gouqiong and Ni Yueshan looked towards the city gate, both of them worried.
"With so many people, I wonder if they managed to break out successfully? Sigh, what's going on? I wrote a letter to my father, but did he receive it? Did he lead his troops to attack?"
She paced back and forth anxiously, looking somewhat uneasy. Ni Yueshan, standing by, comforted her, "Don't worry, I believe we can definitely send the person away."
The two of them waited for news together, and the matter of the city gate was also reported to King Tufan. Those who dared to shoot arrows at the officers and soldiers must be Shao Lecheng and others!
I was originally excited that he had finally appeared, but the palace servants continued to report: "It was just that the mob rushed in all at once?"
The king looked at the guard who reported the incident with a look of surprise, his anger flaring up: "Say it again?"
The guard lowered his head in shame. Even if he said it ten times, it would still be the same...
The king felt a slight headache. He held his forehead and when he opened his eyes again, they were full of fierceness: "Send the minister!"
Jing Yuchen was chased by soldiers for several streets, but he finally managed to shake them off and returned to the inn.
But there were soldiers searching near the inn, searching room by room.
Jing Yuchen came in through the window and looked at Duan Gouqiong inside the house: "They may be searching for me now, but if they see you, they will definitely catch you. You have to hide with me first!"
Jing Yuchen was about to take Duan Gouqiong to the roof for shelter. He turned around and looked at Ni Yueshan: "Be careful!"
If there was no one in the room during the search, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers would choose to look again, so I had to leave one person behind to dissuade the officers and soldiers from doing so.
There were knocks on the door one after another, and Ni Yueshan began to answer from inside the room: "I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Soon, the door opened. Ni Yueshan looked at the person in front of him and asked curiously, "Official?"
The soldier didn't waste time talking to Ni Yueshan. He pushed Ni Yueshan with his hand, and Ni Yueshan took a few steps back. The soldier quickly searched the room and found some herbs. He looked at Ni Yueshan sharply and asked, "Why are there herbs?"
"My husband is old and has leg pain, so I boil some medicine for him to take."
Ni Yueshan looked very respectful, and as an elderly woman, the officer looked her up and down again and again, then asked in a cold voice, "Did you see anyone suspicious? Where's your wife?"
"My husband heard some noise downstairs, so he went downstairs to check on the situation. He hasn't come back yet. Sir, is it okay to go out through the city gate?"
The officer withdrew his gaze and said coldly: "Anyone who broke out of the city gate is a mob, stay out of it!"
As she walked out, Ni Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that her disguise would be discovered. Then, no matter if it was Duan Gouqiong or not, they would capture her...
After the officers and soldiers left, they took out the herbs they had just deliberately put away and prepared to go to the clinic to ask whether this medicine could treat leg pain.
Only after the officers and soldiers had completely retreated did Jing Yuchen dare to return to the room. Ni Yueshan asked curiously, "Where is Gou Qiong?"
"There are fewer refugees leaving the city now. We can't send more people out. People are still on the roof."
The officer brought the medicine to the store, threw the herbs in front of him, and asked, "What medicine is this?"
The shopkeeper knew what the herb in front of him was after just one look and immediately responded, "This medicine can be used for external application to treat injuries!"
The officer narrowed his eyes immediately. This answer had obviously made him suspicious of Ni Yueshan. Just as he was about to leave, the shopkeeper said, "If taken orally, it has an analgesic effect!"
The officer stopped and asked, "The old man has leg pain. Is this medicine reasonable?"
The shopkeeper stroked his goatee, his eyes growing long. "If you're saying you can use this medicine to treat the old man's leg pain, it's not impossible. However, the old man's stomach isn't very good, so it's not easy for him to take too much of this medicine."
"So it can be taken orally to treat leg pain?"
"yes!"
The officer said nothing more and walked away, but he still felt suspicious and finally turned back.
