"To be honest, your joining me makes me feel uneasy. I don't know what strange things will happen next, but I know that you can't follow me anymore."
Wu Liang put his hands behind his back, his face solemn, and it seemed as if he had been brewing these words for a long time before blurting them out.
"Brother Wu, are you really going to abandon us?" Gu Yunru asked again. If it really wasn't possible, then forget it.
"Isn't the purpose of you joining Zoroastrianism to cure the Gu of your so-called brother? And you two are not siblings at all. I don't know who you two are. Maybe you appeared with ulterior motives from the beginning."
"…" Gu Yunru was speechless, lowered her eyebrows, and said with a slightly worried look: "Since Brother Wu has said so, it is not a solution for us to stay here shamelessly. Thank you Brother Wu for taking care of me these days. We will see you later."
After saying that, he left the peach wood hairpin behind, took Rong Zhen, Shu'er, and Han Suche away from this damn place. When they arrived in the suburbs, Han Suche was sweating profusely and wanted to dive into the lotus pond.
"I'm so hungry, so hungry. If I had asked Wu Liang more for the negotiations, we wouldn't have had enough food to share along the way!" Han Suche muttered to himself. Rong Zhen was supported by Gu Yunru and sat aside. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. For some reason, the further southeast they went, the hotter the weather became. According to the description on the route map, they should be reaching Taocheng soon.
"I heard that Taocheng is on high alert, and the situation with Da Qi has become increasingly tense recently. Once anyone from Da Qi is found, they will be killed without mercy. We'd better not go there." Shu'er inquired further at the front and found out that many people from Da Qi had been buried alive. If they went there and their identities were exposed, they would probably end up like this. In addition, they all had the symbols of Zoroastrianism on them, so they would be considered evil followers of Zoroastrianism wherever they went.
"You guys watch the horses first, I'm going to the bathroom!" Han Suche said, her pair of black eyes rolling around, and she ran to the nearby small hill forest and was about to relieve herself when suddenly a tall figure appeared behind her, scaring her.
"I say, are there anything wrong with your brain? You come over here even though a girl needs to relieve herself. Do you want to take advantage of the situation?!" Han Suche was so scared that he almost peed himself. Looking at the man in black who was still elusive, it was obvious that he had bad intentions.
"You have done a good job on your mission. This is your bounty. Your next goal is to leave for Taocheng." The man in black threw several kilograms of silver on the ground. Han Suche was a money-grubber. When he heard the sound of silver, his eyes brightened many times.
"I just drew a map for you, and you gave me so much money. But now I have a tattoo of the Zoroastrian symbol. Can you think of a way to remove it for me? I don't want to carry this thing to swindle people."
Han Suche put all the silver into his sleeves. As the amount was too large, if he returned like this he would surely arouse suspicion from Shu'er, Gu Yunru and others. He would have to think of a safe way at that time.
"This thing is still useful for now. If you go to Taocheng and infiltrate the city and give me some information, you will be rewarded five times this. You can calculate it yourself." The man in black wanted to turn around and leave, but Han Suche stopped him decisively and said, "Wait, why do you want me to do it and give me so much money? Who knows if you will kill people to silence them?"
Han Suche has not slept well for a single night since he sold the organization's maps and intelligence to the men in black. Seeing the Zoroastrian disciples being exterminated, he felt even more guilty. Fortunately, he has been in the underworld for a long time and can control his emotions freely. Otherwise, he would have been discovered by Gu Yunru long ago.
"If I wanted to kill you to silence you, you would have been gone long ago." After saying this, the man in black turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. This guy was very good at kung fu and was able to do anything.
Han Suche buried the silver under a tree stump and marked it. She only carried two pieces of silver with her. If she couldn't make it in Taocheng in the future, she would rush to another country. After all, with money you can travel around the world, but without money you can't go anywhere. She understood this truth.
"Why have you been gone for so long? The horses have nothing to eat. Come with me to get some grass nearby." Shu'er walked up to Han Suche and looked at him in a carefree manner. Han Suche was able to control his emotions and acted harmless in front of her. He said, "I have a stomachache. I need grass, right? Let's go together."
"Why are you so happy? It's like you found money." Shu'er only mentioned it unintentionally, but it made Han Suche feel guilty and panicked, and his heart beat many times faster.
"How could that be? Let's go quickly and don't waste time." The two of them went up the mountain path together, but saw a group of people passing by at the foot of the mountain. Shu'er grabbed Han Suche and hid near the woods, hiding themselves. They watched as those people seemed to have captured many ordinary people and drove them into the mountain pit.
"What's going on?"
Shu'er was talking to herself, staring down and hadn't figured out what was going on yet.
"I don't know anything about this. The government suspected that these people were related to Zoroastrianism, so they buried them alive to eradicate the evil." Han Suche said as if he was already accustomed to it. There was no need to deliberately inquire about these trivial matters. Shu'er clenched her fists and whispered, "This is too much. There are children here. What can such a young child know?"
After that, she was about to go forward to rescue the old, weak, and disabled. Han Suche grabbed her wrist tightly and said, "Are you crazy? There are so many soldiers underground. If you go up alone, wouldn't that be courting death?!"
"But I can't just watch them being buried alive!"
"You said they were buried alive. Can't we just catch up with them after they leave and dig them out?"

Han Suche's words woke her up. This was a good idea, but she was afraid that if these people stayed too long, they would suffocate to death.
About half a cup of tea later, Shu'er saw these people leaving one after another, so she used her lightness skills to fly down. This was a small burial ground, and it would take some time to rescue everyone quickly.
"Han Suche..." Shu'er called her down and hurried to rescue these people, still hesitatingly looking for tools.
"I'm here!" Han Suche walked forward and dug the soil with his hands. Shu'er had to dig the soil with the sword in her hand. After about half a cup of tea, she finally rescued several people who were still gasping for breath.
