"Master, there are five of us following you, what do you think?"
The man looked at Li Lanzhen with some unease and said.
Seeing that Li Lanzhen didn't speak, he added.
"Master, they, like me, swear to follow you to the death! If they break this oath, may they be struck by lightning!"
Five people knelt on the ground and swore an oath to the heavens.
Li Lanzhen felt a mix of emotions.
Born under the red flag and raised in the glorious years of the five-starred rule, Li Lanzhen truly didn't know what to do.
"Stand up!"
The five people stood up and retreated behind Li Lanzhen.
Holding a large knife, he looked every bit the bodyguard.
In that situation, if Li Lanzhen were to speak out, it would be like facing a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, and they would risk their lives to protect her.
"What's going on with these dozen or so people? What are we going to do with them? I can't bring them all with me."
“They, they’re going home,” the man behind her answered her question.
Li Lanzhen nodded, walked to a courtyard next door and came out again, carrying a basket on her back.
She saw that these women and children were all carrying bundles on their backs and holding bundles in their arms.
They must have gathered silver, food, and clothing from the Jia family mansion.
Thinking of this, Li Lanzhen took out two more baskets of steamed buns, mantou, and pancakes that she had obtained from the Jia family's kitchen.
Ten bags of grain. Let them divide them among themselves. Everyone takes a little and goes home. As for what happens when they get home, let's leave that to fate!
She put the things in the yard and came out to talk to the man standing outside the gate.
"Give them some of the things inside, let them take them home and live their lives."
These women soon filed out, carrying bundles on their backs and in their arms.
I passed by Li Lanzhen without saying anything, without stopping, and without even a thank you.
Perhaps they are still blaming Li Lanzhen for meddling, destroying the Jia family, and cutting off their source of income.
After everyone had left, the man respectfully asked Li Lanzhen.
"Master, let's go too!"
Li Lanzhen thought to herself, "You really don't treat yourself like an outsider!"
Leave? I know I have to leave, but where am I going to take you?
Headache!
Looking at the other three weak girls and boy who were still trying to hold on, Li Lanzhen took out a water bag and three pills from her basket.
"have eaten."
Without hesitation, the three of them took the pills, popped them into their mouths, and swallowed them.
The more they acted like this, the more upset Li Lanzhen felt!
This is a die-hard fan!
Alright! Take them with you then! Even they can't come up with anything.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Li Lanzhen turned and walked away.
Five men behind her said, "Master, let's go first. We'll burn down this den of evil and then catch up."
Li Lanzhen didn't linger. She went straight out through the open door.
Standing on the road at the gate of the courtyard, I turned around and saw that the Jia family mansion was already surrounded by fire.
Burn it!
A den of snakes and rats, where stolen goods remain!
Five people emerged from the firelight and shut the Jia family mansion gates behind them.
They stood there for a while, the firelight illuminating five young, handsome, and scarred faces.
Li Lanzhen saw the satisfaction, the determination, and the resolve in their eyes!
"Let's go, what are you looking at! Aren't you disgusted by the stolen goods!"
Li Lanzhen and her five companions did not follow the road to the bustling downtown area of the prefectural city.
I had just left when I heard a loud, noisy commotion.
"Charge! Jia Gouzi's house is on fire, let's go and rob them!"
"Let's go, let's steal that bully's stuff!"
...
Go ahead, take whatever you want as long as it wasn't burned in the fire!
Li Lanzhen was selective when accepting things.
Gold and silver jewelry, jade artifacts, calligraphy and paintings, and clean clothes, bedding, and fabrics were stored in the space.
The Jia mansion was too large, and we were not familiar with the layout; there were still many courtyards we had not yet visited.
Nothing in the small kitchen in the yard had been touched.
Let them have it.
With so many people entering the Jia family mansion, the traces left by Li Lanzhen and her group no longer seemed out of place.
Even the government wouldn't bother with the Jia family's affairs.
It seems that it is not feasible to leave the city through the dog hole in the western city wall.
We had no choice but to exit through the east city wall.
I just don't know if there are any dog holes around here.
Li Lanzhen felt that she had been led astray by Gou Dan!
Why do you always think about leaving the city through a dog hole?
Li Lanzhen led five people to the eastern city wall of Youzhou Prefecture.
The city wall is too high and thick; it's not suitable to place a ladder there.
well!
Let's look for a dog hole.
Watching Li Lanzhen searching for something at the foot of the city wall.
"Master, are you looking for a dog hole?"
"Yes. Otherwise, how would we get out?"
"All I know is, Master, come with me."
Li Lanzhen sensed that they were walking north along the city wall.
After walking for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the man squatted down and dug out a dark dog hole in the grass.
The dog hole wasn't round, but it was quite wide.
Judging by appearance, it's about half a meter high; several of them could easily get over it.
"Master, I'll go first. If there's danger, you all retreat."
As he spoke, the man lay down, preparing to crawl through.
"stop!"
A roar in the darkness left Li Lanzhen and the others stunned!
"Whoosh!"
A dozen or so people emerged from the bushes nearby.
"Hahaha, we've finally caught King Jin's spy!"
"Yes, it was worth it after waiting here for more than half a month. We were cold and hungry!"
"Boss, Old Dong is guarding the dog hole in the west city. They're going to regret this now."
"Serves him right! Who told him to steal our leader's head!"
The distance was too close for Li Lanzhen to bring all five people into her space.
She didn't want to take this group of soldiers into her spatial storage as well.
I had no choice but to go with them.
I walked south along the city wall for about ten steps.
As she walked through a patch of thatch, Li Lanzhen's keen ears caught the sound of someone breathing.
Although she tried to suppress her voice, Li Lanzhen, whose senses were becoming increasingly acute, still caught it.
Moreover, there are at least six people.
These people must be the King of Gold's spies.
No, we have to force them to come out.
Li Lanzhen took out a small firecracker from her spatial storage.
He lit it, and with a whoosh, threw it accurately into the bushes where the men were lying in ambush.
"Bang"
Ahhhhh
"Run!"
"Who goes there? Stop right there!"
"Arrest them indiscriminately! These are the King of Gold's spies!"
The sounds were chaotic, and Li Lanzhen also shouted to further confuse the audience.
As expected, the soldiers of Youzhou City managed to capture six of Jin Wang's men after a fight.
"Boss, these really are the King of Jin's spies. Look, they have the King of Jin's military tokens!"
"Hahaha, we've hit the jackpot!"
"Tie him up! Take him away."
So the guards went up and began to subdue and bind the six real Golden King spies.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Lanzhen collected the five people who were closely following her into her spatial dimension, and then disappeared herself.
After the guards had tied up the spies, they discovered that Li Lanzhen and the other six were missing.
"Boss! What do we do? These guys got away!"
"Never mind that. What we need to do now is capture the King of Jin's spy."
