"Master Zhang, where is your friend?"
The benefits of entering the city with a gopher were obvious. The guard at the city gate just looked at it and gave up asking.
It is common for urban residents to go in and out of the city, and it is impossible for these people to prepare a section for inspection every day.
The guards are more likely to check for strangers, out-of-towners, or those who are incompatible with the people of Fuping County.
Zhang Xuezhou and Zhu Fuyan, who were carrying the gopher with gray heads and gray faces, were obviously not among the targets.
This made it extremely easy for the two of them to enter Fuping County.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a row of guesthouses, hotels, and restaurants passed by each other. The host father Yan couldn't help but feel that the dinner was in vain.
He couldn't help but ask, which made Zhang Xuezhou reach out and point forward.
"We'll be there in just a short walk," Zhang Xuezhou said, "They were imprisoned in a cell yesterday by a bunch of blind soldiers. We have to go to the cell to see them!"
"You were imprisoned?" Master Yan asked in surprise: "Then are you going to rob the prison?"
"What kind of prison are you robbing? Are people like us robbing prisons?" Zhang Xuezhou waved his hands and said: "We are reasonable people. They imprisoned the wrong people. When the time comes, they will release us honestly!"
"These big-headed soldiers are very evil-minded. They will release them on their own initiative wherever they are imprisoned." The master's father said: "If you don't prepare dozens or hundreds of half a tael, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see anyone!"
"We are not short of money!"
Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand.
Although he was extremely poor and the four pieces of money were all wasted shortly after he took them out, Zhang Xuezhou still had a tough mouth.
He showed very generously that money was not a problem.
This made Master Yan look envious and jealous.
What is not a big deal to Zhang Xuezhou is a major event in his life.
It takes time to practice swordsmanship well, it requires physical strength, and even more physical fitness, instead of him working hard to dig up gophers every day to avoid starving to death, and having no time to do other things in order to survive.
The master didn't ask for much, even if he was given a lot of money, he could eat meat and practice swordsmanship for half a year to make himself even stronger.
His eyes moved back and forth, and he followed Zhang Xuezhou slowly with more than a dozen gophers.
When Zhang Xuezhou was transferred to the back of a prison on the left side of the Fuping County Government Office, his expression changed slightly.
"You still say this is not a prison robbery?"
He made a low voice and watched with horror as a large piece of the solid stone wall was taken away, and then a head popped out.
"It's not a prison break if you can walk out on your own!"
Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, and then faced Dong Zhongshu where his magic mark was.
"Please remove the mark," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"What the hell...you know I'm a bit useless now!"
Looking at the dark blue magic mark on Zhang Xuezhou's butt, Dong Zhongshu took a slight breath of air.
"What do you mean?"
"I can't figure it out!"
Dong Zhongshu responded in a low voice.
He almost felt like vomiting blood when he cast a fossil spell. It was impossible to break the mark of such a stubbornly positioned spell.
It seemed that the opponent's level was weaker than his, but Dong Zhongshu did not have the ability to cast spells normally at the moment, so it was almost impossible to completely remove the mark of the spell.
"Thank you for all the trouble I put into helping you, you are so unreliable!"
Zhang Xuezhou took a breath just thinking about the sharpness he felt.
"I asked you to shout a few words in the air, but you definitely didn't listen to me." Dong Zhongshu said: "Ning Cheng, the secretary of Shanggu County City, is particularly good at tracking marks. Once he catches the traces of your spells, the other party's ghost will not leave. Chase him to the end of the world!"
"Then you didn't mention this matter," Zhang Xuezhou said angrily.
"How can I say that there are hundreds of thousands of capable people in the Northern Military Region?" Dong Zhongshu said: "While it's still early, you should leave the Northern Territory as soon as possible to avoid him sending people to follow me. When I recover, I will I came to you to get rid of this thing!”
"Can I go to jail with you and explain this matter clearly?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"Those people in the military region are not very reasonable." Dong Zhongshu thought for a few seconds and said: "If they find a suspected target, they will usually attack directly and either kill or maim them. They will basically not talk nonsense to you!"
"I took away the horse from the guest house, goodbye!"
Zhang Xuezhou stood up, and then mentioned that his cousin was coming to Fuping County, and if Dong Zhongshu saw it, he must take care of it.
"Don't worry, I'll keep it with you!"
"And my parents!"
"When I recover from my injury, everything will be taken care of by me!"
Zhang Xuezhou was so distracted that he didn't need to ask, Dong Zhongshu knew that this guy did a good job.
The only problem is that Zhang Xuezhou made a big mistake himself.
“Have a safe journey!”
Dong Zhongshu whispered a blessing, and when the prison warden came over to yell at him, he quickly blocked the block with stones and remained silent again.
"What, you don't want to escape from prison?"
Following Zhang Xuezhou, Master Yan felt that the changes in the short period of contact were a bit big.
"This is not called escaping, this is just the need to temporarily maintain a certain distance after a misunderstanding!"
Zhang Xuezhou explained, and then started running all the way.
The demonic power in his body has not been restored, and now the fastest way to escape is to ride a horse.
“I’ll treat you to a big dinner next time!”
Zhang Xuezhou shouted towards his master.
He had previously thought that his father Yan had some strength and might be able to act as a bodyguard.
Zhang Xuezhou even thought about how the other party would escort Zhao Liang back to Shu County.
But at the moment, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but be too busy taking care of himself, and it was difficult to arrange for his father to die.
He hurried back to the guest house, and when he found the yellow gelding used by the merchant group, Zhang Xuezhou got on it and ran out of the city.
“Can’t you treat me to a big dinner now?”
"If you have something urgent to do, you can give the store owner some money and ask him to serve me the food!"
"When is the next time?"
"Where do you usually live?"
"I'll go up there and find you!"
As he rode the yellow gelding in a hurry, the master's father dashed forward with his legs crossed, following closely behind.
It is rare to see a wealthy and generous person like Zhang Xuezhou, and Zhu Fuyan felt that he could not miss the opportunity.
Regardless of whether the other party is in the wind or the rain, he has to follow him.
If he could learn the other party's secret to making money, Zhu Fuyan felt that he could also perform the same operation in a decent manner and reach the pinnacle of his life.
"Someone forced his way out of the city gate!"
"Didn't that kid just carry the gopher into the city? Why did he go out again?"
"Is that his horse or a horse he stole? It doesn't even have a pad. I'm afraid the butt will be bruised!"
"At first glance, they look like merchant horses. Military horses are not so thin."
"What was his name?"
"Got to check the records!"
"What's the name of the one at the back?"
"I've seen that beggar. He's been digging for gophers in the millet field over the past two months. I'm afraid the two of them stole the horse together!"
The local indigenous people are registered in the county government register, and outsiders will check the "section" and their origins. Only wanderers like Zhufu Yan who have no fixed abode are more troublesome.
The sergeant stationed at the city gate raised the bow and arrow several times, but in the end he still failed to shoot the arrow. Someone quickly brought in the army horse.
It is obviously easy to chase a yellow gelding with a military horse.
Several sergeants got on their horses, cursed several times and then started their mounts to catch up.
In the cold spring, few people came in and out of the city gate. This small commotion faded away as quickly as it came. The few sergeants guarding the gate quickly returned to their daily duties, chatting and laughing in low voices from time to time.
When several cavalry were galloping towards Fuping County in the distance, a red flag fluttered behind the leading general, which made the waists of all the sergeants straighten up instantly.
