Only during major festivals, Jopson would come here to burn incense as a token of his presence. On weekdays, he basically ignored the temple.
Liu Rumei and Xiao Qing met outside the temple's backyard wall and saw that no one was around. Xiao Qing jumped up onto the wall.
This is the backyard of the temple. After climbing over the wall, there is a large vegetable field. However, in the cold winter, the vegetable field is bare and there is nothing. There are a few side rooms in the distance.
Xiaoqing jumped out of the yard, ran to the side room, opened the door, and found some farm tools and sundries inside.
Xiaoqing turned back and jumped out of the courtyard wall to explain the situation to Liu Rumei.
Liu Rumei listened to Xiao Qing's report and nodded, "Okay, let's go and hide first."
The two of them climbed over the wall, entered the room where farm tools and sundries were stored, and chose a suitable place to sit down.
Liu Rumei unpacked her bag and took out a few steaming buns.
"I met some on the road and bought some. We are full and we don't know how long we will be here."
Xiaoqing chuckled and patted the two big baggage on his body. "I walked and bought all the way. I'm not afraid to stay here for three to five days."
At this time, there was a crowd sitting in Qingguang City.
Jonah personally testified and directed house-to-house searches.
Of course, the inn is the focus, but after searching, I didn't find many clues.
Another day passed. It was getting dark, and finally I heard noisy sounds from the front yard of the temple. It was the officers and soldiers who were coming. Liu Rumei and Xiao Qing quickly tidied up the house.
Then he tied the baggage on his body, went out of the room, and closed the door. He jumped onto the roof and lay motionless in the dark.
With little effort, two young monks led a dozen soldiers and rushed into the backyard holding torches.
I walked around and came to the door of these side rooms.
Seeing this, the young monk who took the lead quickly explained, "Master Jun, this place is for storing sundries." Two soldiers entered the room, took a symbolic look, and then turned around and left.
The noise soon faded away, and the courtyard returned to silence.
After waiting for a while, Liu Rumei and Xiao Qing were about to jump down when they saw firelight appear, and two monks came here holding torches.
As the slightly fat monk walked, he said, "Junior brother, can you see clearly, have you really changed?"
"Senior brother, can we still leave it? I just sorted it out two days ago. It was piled up well, but now it was moved away."
Hearing this, Liu Rumei secretly thought something bad.
That was because I was negligent. In order to sit more comfortably, I moved a farm tool to use as a backrest, but I forgot about it.
So when it came out, I didn't return the farm tool to its original state.
The two young monks were talking and opened the door. Soon a voice came from the room, "It seems to have been moved, but it's nothing. Maybe one of them came over and moved it."
"Senior brother, who else would come to this room except us? There are more than a dozen people in the whole temple, aren't we the only ones doing the work?"
Another voice sounded, "I think it's better to have one less thing than one more thing. Don't say anything about this to anyone."
"Anyway, we haven't received anyone from here, so let's just pretend that nothing happened. By the way, don't come to the backyard these two days, you know what I mean."
As the two of them talked, they came out of the side room, turned around and left.
Liu Rumei and Xiao Qing breathed a long sigh of relief. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and then they fell down from the roof.
"Xiao Qing, it seems we can't stay here for long, we have to find another way."
"Miss, where else can we go?"
Liu Rumei thought for a while, "Judging from the time, Zheng Hai and the others can cover three to four hundred miles in two days. They will almost cross the Xiaoqing River in one day tomorrow."
"In this way, we will stay here all night. I don't think these two young monks will come over tonight. We will find a way out of the city tomorrow."
Liu Rumei was right. Zheng Hai and the others found a forest to rest on the roadside that night. According to the location, it was less than 200 miles away from Xiaoqing River.
Some people seemed a little excited, because in their opinion, crossing the Xiaoqing River was basically equivalent to returning to China.
But Zheng Hai looked gloomy. He missed two people, one was his brother Zheng Zhun. Although Da Tuguo buried his brother. After all, his brother was buried in a foreign country and could not return to his hometown.
The second thing I miss is Liu Rumei. Liu Rumei left the hope of life to herself, but she went to Qingguang City, and now her life or death is uncertain.
But seeing the seventy or eighty people in front of him, Zheng Hai felt that he was much bolder. Only by bringing them back home safely could he fulfill Liu Rumei's instructions.
But that night, in Wannian City, Duobang was a little restless.
After asking for several days, I couldn't find out where Chen Xiaobei lived.
That night, everyone was gathered together again, "You all ask why we can't find Chen Xiaobei's whereabouts."
Before he finished speaking, a subordinate hurriedly opened the door and said, "Captain, there is a letter from home. It was sent by the Emperor himself."
Duobang took it and took a look, and was shocked.
Jopson asked him about the progress of the matter and told him that people from Dacang Kingdom killed people again in Qingguang City.
After reading the letter, Duobang looked solemn. He knew that he could no longer focus on Chen Xiaobei. He had promised the emperor to take responsibility for the Xiao family.
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said to everyone present.
"Later, you go and take back the people who are monitoring Liu Xiangnan. We originally wanted to get rid of Chen Xiaobei first, but we didn't expect that this kid was so well hidden. We couldn't find him living there. Next we have to change the place. Target, before I came here, I promised the emperor that I would kill Prince Xiao Jingyun of Dacang Kingdom and Emperor Xiao An. Starting tomorrow, you can go find out about Prince Xiao Jingyun for me."
Several subordinates agreed, bowed and retreated.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei received another message from Jiang Shangdiao's apprentice, which made him even more uneasy. The letter stated that the Great Earth Kingdom has been uneasy recently, and people have been assassinated one after another.
Seeing this news, Chen Xiaobei felt happy and worried. He checked all the people in Dacang Kingdom. After the Lotus Leader and Shen Ziyan left, Liu Rumei was the only one who had the ability to assassinate the opponent's general, but this made his heart twitch again.
He knew that Liu Rumei's martial arts was very strong, but compared to the Lotus Master and Shen Ziyan, there was still a gap. These two people can retrieve people's mobile phones from Wanjun like a probing bag, but Liu Rumei is still not ready.
But no matter what, there is news about Liu Rumei after all, which can be regarded as some comfort.
Chen Xiaobei thought for a moment and came to see Liu Xiangnan at night to tell him the good news.
Chen Xiaobei was really lucky. The people Duobang arranged to monitor outside Liu's house had just withdrawn when Chen Xiaobei arrived.
