Just when Hong Tao gave the order, Hu Yunqing had already brought Huan to the city gate.
"We came yesterday and are leaving now."
He Wenyu and the two rode horses to the city gate and pretended to be calm and said to the soldiers.
"No! You are not allowed to leave here! You must have a handwritten letter from the county magistrate!"
The soldiers at the city gate couldn't help laughing when they heard that the two were about to leave. Since the county magistrate took office, they had never heard of anyone being allowed to leave. This was the funniest thing they had ever heard.
"Let them go!"
A head catcher came out and saw that it was the person holding the red flag. He signaled to the soldiers at the door to let them go quickly.
"yes!"
Now these soldiers have become Hong Tao's minions. Hong Tao also sent the leader to watch the city gate and prevent the soldiers from letting people go.
If the soldiers let the people go, all the families in the city would be dead.
The soldiers at the door did not expect that the county magistrate would let these two people go, so they could only get out of the way.
He kept looking at Hu Yunqing and Huan, with pleading in his eyes. They couldn't leave, and they were the only ones left.
Everyone's hope is tied to the two of them, hoping that Hu Yunqing will come back to save them.
"Get out of here!"
A soldier walked up to Hu Yunqing, patted the horse and shouted at him.
"Let's go! Drive!"
Hu Yunqing glanced at the soldier, then rode away from the place.
When Hu Yunqing and the two walked away, Xuan Yi and his men chased them to the door.
"Where are the two people who came into the city yesterday?"
Xuan Yi rode a horse to the door and asked the head catcher at the door.
"Following your Lord's order, I left before half a stick of incense was burned."
The head catcher saw that it was the personal guard next to the county magistrate, so he quickly got dressed and came over.
"you!"
When he heard that the head catcher had let the man go, Xuan Yi was furious and slashed the latter with a knife.
The blood that gushed out from the wound on Captou's neck fell directly on the surrounding soldiers.
When everyone saw this scene, they were both happy and scared. They were happy that their oppressor was dead, but they were afraid that this day would happen to them too.
"grown ups!"
Soon Hong Tao also rode to the city gate, thinking that Hu Yunqing had been stopped. Looking at the situation at the scene, he understood what the result was.
"Which direction did those two people go?"
Hong Tao looked at the soldiers at the door and asked.
"Xuan Yi stays here, the others follow me!"
Looking at the direction pointed by the soldiers, it was the road to Shengjing. If he walked by himself, he was afraid that Liaoyang City would mutiny.
Hong Tao's behavior will also arouse public anger. It's okay that he is here, but now he is not here, and his old nest was stolen when he came back.
After thinking about it, I decided to keep Xuan Yi behind.
The soldiers next to them thought that the county magistrate was leaving, but they didn't expect that an evil star would stay behind and watch them from inside the city.
The desire to run away was extinguished again.
"As you command!"
Regarding Hong Tao's order, Xuan Yi directly agreed without saying a word.
"Let's go! Drive!"
After the arrangements were made, Hong Tao led more than 20 people and rode in the direction where Hu Yunqing left.
"If you go a little further, you can see Shengjing City."
After walking for a day and night, Juan looked at the marks on the map and said to the prince.
"Okay, let's have a good rest today."
After driving for such a long time and seeing no pursuers behind him, Hu Yunqing was also tired. Looking at the inn ahead, he said to Huan.
"good."
Before they entered the inn, they deliberately changed into Zhengbaiqi attire.
"Leave the horse to me and take care of it. The money will be yours."
When the two of them arrived at the door of the inn, Juan gave the boy a tael of silver and said to him.
"Thank you, sir. Please come in."
The waiter in the shop casually gave him a tael of silver, which he couldn't earn in a month. He also put a smile on his face and greeted Hu Yunqing and the others to enter the shop.
Then he took the horse to the stable and used the best feed.
"You two, what do you want to eat?"
The owner of the inn, seeing that Hu Yunqing and Hu Yunqing were dressed as noble children from Zhengbai Banner, came out and asked enthusiastically.
"We want to stay in a hotel."
Seeing that the environment was not bad, Hu Yunqing nodded to Juan. Juan took out ten taels of silver from his waist, put it in the boss's hand and said.
"Hey, distinguished guest, please invite me to the private room upstairs."
Their small shop, due to the war, hardly paid the passing officials, and there were fewer and fewer regular customers. It might be time to close down in a few months.
Unexpectedly, I met a big customer today, and the price was ten taels of silver, so I had to be polite. Just point to this God of Wealth to make money.
"The best meals are brought upstairs. If anyone asks about us, you should know what to say!"
When Hu Yunqing left Shanhaiguan, he brought a lot of loose silver with him. Fortunately, Huan had arranged the horses in advance, otherwise they would have been lost in Liaoyang City, which would have been easy for that bastard Hong Tao.
After arriving in the room, Juan took out another ten taels of silver and said.
"Don't worry, I just said that you are businessmen passing by and planning to go to Shengjing to do business."
Looking at the money in Juan's hand, the innkeeper quickly held the money in his hand and said, fearing that the latter would regret it.
"OK."
Seeing that there was no one around, the boss quickly put the money in his arms for fear that others would see it.
In this time of war, you might encounter some desperadoes, but the boss still understands the principle that ordinary people are not guilty and those who possess a treasure are guilty.
"Sir, Shengjing City is ahead. After chasing for such a long time, these two people should have entered the city."
"Yes, there is an inn ahead. Let's go in and have a rest. We can't enter the city even now."
The person responsible for the chase also slowly arrived at the place where Hu Yunqing stopped just now.
"Okay, let's take a rest."
Hong Tao didn't rest for these servants, but he was too tired. Now the deal was done, there was no use worrying anymore, he might as well enjoy it.
Then the group arrived at the inn.
"Several of you, sir, please come in."
The waiter heard the noise outside and hurriedly walked out of the inn. He thought another big customer was here, but when he saw a group of officers and soldiers, he felt depressed instantly.
It's just these officers and soldiers who come here and don't pay for their meals, and they have to eat and drink for free.
"Take care of the horses for me, prepare the wine and meat, and free up all the rooms!"
Before Hong Tao could say anything, a catcher beside him skillfully gave instructions to the waiter.
"Um, sir, am I?"
Seeing more than 20 horses, how long will it take to feed them? Thinking of the atmosphere of the guests just now, I rubbed my hands and said to Hong Tao.
"You dare to ask for a reward? Do you want to come to the prison with me?"
Seeing the waiter's actions, the catcher directly pulled out the knife, put it on the waiter's neck and said.
"My lord, please spare your life. I don't want to reward you, why don't you?"
