His parents had passed away long ago, and he had been traveling around a lot, and had never married or had children.
My only hobby is eating some snacks and drinking some wine, and my life was pretty good.
I didn't expect to fall flat on my face today.
"I really didn't expect to run into the Cui family in this godforsaken place. I'm so unlucky. I can't survive in Xizhou anymore."
Liu Shicong felt very sad when he talked about this.
"So where are you going?"
"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time. Where are you going?"
Ji Changying paused and replied, "Liangzhou."
She squinted her eyes and looked at Liu Shicong. This man's ancestors were merchants and he was quite smart. She could sense from his words that he felt a little bit that his talent was not appreciated.
Come to think of it, she felt like she was a little short of people.
"Liangzhou?"
Liu Shicong seemed to be lost in thought. Liangzhou was the largest prefecture city away from Xizhou. Maybe he could find a way to survive there?
He didn't dare go to the south because there were more members of the Cui family there. If he accidentally met them, he would be doomed!
"Then can you give me a ride? I want to visit Liangzhou too."
Liu Shicong made a decision quickly and looked at her pleadingly with his hands clasped.
"I really appreciate what you said, brother. I'll give you a ride then!"
Ji Changying also agreed readily.
They had a pleasant conversation, but the whole Dongning County was not peaceful at all.
After taking Cui Qi to the doctor for diagnosis, Duan Yunzheng handed him over to Gao Lingwen.
He ordered some of his men to chase the person, and some to start investigating Ji Changying's background and his relationship with the man in the restaurant.
As a result, after a night and a long investigation, we only found out that these people were passing by here from other places and only stayed in Dongning County for one day.
"Who read their pass? What does it say?!"
"According to the person who checked their travel permit, it had two stamps on it, indicating that the caravan was from Qingzhou. The specific information can only be traced back along the way."
"What's going on with that guy in the restaurant?" Duan Yunzheng's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
"That man runs a grain store in the county. His parents died and he never married. He's a merchant and has traveled a lot. He's been in Dongning County for two years now. He doesn't know these people, but... he ran away after returning from the restaurant. Now the store is deserted and no one wants it anymore."
Duan Yunzheng pounded the table angrily: "People can escape right under my nose! Check them! They must be accomplices!"
Duan Yunzheng was very dissatisfied with this result. "I don't believe they have no connection. Since this person has been here for two years, I will dig up useful information even if I dig deep! I will write to Liangzhou Guard and Jiangzhou Guard immediately and ask them to help investigate this group!"
——
Duan Yunzheng's men caught up with them, and Ji Changying waved his hand to let the guards come forward.
"Don't kill them, just make sure they can't chase us."
These people have also defended their country, but their positions are different and there is no need to take lives.
Ji Changying didn't want to make things worse, just teach him a lesson.
Liu Shi watched from the side and was glad in his heart that he met someone, otherwise he would have been caught long ago!
After hearing Ji Changying's instructions, the guards did not kill the man. After killing him, they quickly continued on their journey.
On the way, she chatted with Liu Shicong for half the night and found that this man had read quite a few books.
"It's a pity that Brother Liu couldn't take the imperial examination, otherwise I'm afraid you would have a place in the court."
"I usually read travelogues and storybooks. I can't handle the Four Books and Five Classics. They're just hypnotic stuff. They're nowhere near as carefree and happy as I am right now."
Liu Shicong was somewhat pleased with his frequent changes of places, and talked to Ji Changying about many customs and practices outside.
"Brother Liu is very open-minded. I am ashamed of myself."
"As a human being, you can live a hard life or a carefree life. Just make do with your life and do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Otherwise, I can't just leave so decisively. I just don't know if Cui's people will put me on the wanted list."
Only when he said this did Liu Shicong look a little sad.
If he is wanted, he will no longer be able to live freely and will have to keep his tail between his legs. Just think about it, this is more painful than killing him.
Ji Changying also fell into deep thought.
Duan Yunzheng would definitely think too much about the skills revealed by the guards around her.
After all, ordinary caravans really can't hire these people.
It's easy to deal with her face. Just throw it away after use and no one will be able to find her.
But this matter must be explained. We can't just let these people investigate endlessly. It will be troublesome if Zhonglizhou and others are implicated.
She glanced at the guards and her eyes lit up.
Aren't there people behind these people? They're already there! She doesn't need to fabricate them.
Done!
At dawn, Ji Changying's supernatural power was enough to see the gate of Liangzhou City.
The place she and Zhonglizhou agreed to pick up the goods was Shili Pavilion outside the city, and Ji Changying ordered people to park the car there.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Liu Shicong was awakened. He jumped out of the carriage and looked around. He bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Li, for giving me a ride. Now that we've arrived, we'll say goodbye. I won't cause any more trouble for you, Brother Li."
Ji Changying motioned for him to follow, and Liu Shicong followed her to the side without knowing why.
"We got along pretty well, and I think you're a nice person. If you're willing to help me for ten years, I'll save your life."
Ji Changying lowered her voice, not wanting the guards to hear.
Liu Shicong was sobered by these words, his eyes sharpened, and he looked at Ji Changying: "I wonder where Brother Li's confidence comes from?"
He was half-believing and half-doubting. The two of them talked for a whole night, and he almost shook his underwear clean. No matter what the other party talked about, he sounded like an ordinary businessman.
But looking at the guards around him, it doesn't seem like that.
He could only comfort himself that the other party might not be familiar with him, so he was unwilling to talk more.
Unexpectedly, when they parted, she suddenly took the initiative to show some of her true feelings in front of him, which really surprised him.
Ji Changying smiled slightly: "The destination of my delivery this time is Prince Ping's Mansion. You can think about it. I'll give you two days. When you have made up your mind, come find me at Fulai Inn."
Liu Shicong's face remained calm, but a huge wave of emotion was stirring within him. He replied seriously, "I'll think about it carefully. In any case, I'll always remember Brother Li's life-saving grace. You can always ask me for help if you need any help in the future."
After saying this, he loaded his luggage onto his horse and entered Liangzhou City.
Without waiting too long, Lieutenant General Yang quickly led his men out of the city and headed straight for Shili Pavilion. He immediately saw the five carriages and sword-wielding guards parked there.
His eyes lit up with joy. He didn't expect that he would arrive a quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed time and the other party would also arrive.
He quickly restrained his expression, and his eyes swept over the people in uniform guard uniforms, staring at Ji Changying.
He strode towards Ji Changying under the gazes of the guards: "Li Changmu?"
