After Li Zhengyi chopped off Zhang Budao's braid with a long sword, he did feel a little bit resentful for a moment.
But after Li Zhengyi said a few more words, he quickly stopped saying anything more.
"Do you see the braids on the back of my head?"
"You have been to Renjia Town before and saw a few men with braids. There will only be fewer and fewer in the future."
"Not to mention, now that I've cut off your braids, you feel a little more relaxed."
…
Although he gradually felt some agreement with what Li Zhengyi said, and as for the days when he had to nod and bow down when seeing powerful people, Zhang Dadan really didn't want to go back.
But after all, it was something he had kept for half his life, so he knelt down and cut off the braid. After looking at it, he stuffed it into his arms.
But at this moment, I heard Li Zhengyi say again: "It happens to be a little long now, let me fix it for you."
"ah?"
Immediately, Zhang DaDa refused to welcome him and allowed Li Zhengyi to swing the sword back and forth over his head.
Not long after, his previously long hair turned into short hair that was many inches long.
Not only does he seem to be more energetic, but he also seems to be a few years younger.
Even he himself was a little embarrassed and excited, stroking the short hair on his round head back and forth with his hands.
After getting a new hairstyle, it looks a little different from before.
If he had changed his clothes and grown a mustache, it would not have been easy to spot him if he was not an acquaintance.
What's more, if you can supervise this guy to lose weight, then he probably won't be discovered if he walks in front of an acquaintance without looking specifically.
However, Li Zhengyi doesn't have that much time to supervise his weight loss. After all, he can only stay in this world for a dozen days at most, and everything depends on Zhang DaDa's own consciousness.
In fact, it is useless to think so much now. After all, the two of them are still within the scope of Yangshan Town and are in danger of being caught at any time.
So what's more important right now is to think about how to escape from here as soon as possible.
"How do you think we should go?"
If it had happened before, Li Zhengyi would definitely have walked out of here according to his own ideas.
But now the two of them have become grasshoppers on the same rope. Regarding the matter of running away, they must consult Zhang Dadan, a local.
Otherwise, if you run around randomly, who knows what kind of strange environment you will end up in.
"With Captain Li, we can go this way."
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Bingdao's eyes suddenly lit up and he pointed in the direction he came from.
Seeing his reaction, Li Zhengyi felt that this guy must have some better ideas.
So he asked directly: "Oh? Tell me, how should we go from there?"
He felt that the idea he had come up with should be a very good one. When Li Zhengyi asked him, Zhang DaDa immediately started talking with excitement.
"We can do this, Captain Li, you can go out and lure them away first, and then let them continue chasing in this direction after I sneak over."
…
"Then you go back to the street and hire a carriage. Then the two of us can leave from South Street in a big way."
After hearing this guy's bad idea, Li Zhengyi couldn't help being speechless.
Such a plan would have been feasible before, but what about now?
If he showed up, he might immediately become a prisoner again, and he would be monitored even more strictly.
By then, let alone escaping back to Renjia Town, he would probably spend the remaining ten days in prison.
Just when he felt speechless, that guy Zhang DaDa showed off to him proudly.
"How's it going? This is a great idea, isn't it? When should we take action?"
Take action!
Li Zhengyi now wanted to hit this guy on the head with his fingers and let him taste the chestnuts.
However, given the current situation, this guy didn't understand much, so I didn't bother to get to know him.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Li Zhengyi didn't have such a big reaction to the great idea he had thought of, Zhang Dadan couldn't help but ask him with some doubts.
However, Li Zhengyi ignored him and paced back and forth with his head lowered, thinking about how to proceed.
It was probably the fourth watch now, and the sky was getting darker. It was even darker in the dense woods, and almost nothing could be seen.
Even though Zhang DaDa and Li Zhengyi were only one or two meters apart, they could only vaguely see the outlines of each other.
He saw Li Zhengyi's shadow moving back and forth in front of him, but although he felt a little irritated, he was now considered an accomplice recruited by the other party.
Most of the time, Li Zhengyi's actions and thoughts must take priority, so he didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.
While Li Zhengyi was pacing, he looked at the sky again.
Although the sky was getting darker at this time, he knew that it would not be long before the day gradually became brighter.
If we don't take this opportunity to leave here as soon as possible, it will only become more troublesome after dawn.
But now we can't meet Lin and the others, otherwise they will not only entangle and fight with them, but the result will not be known for a while.
Not to mention saying that would not reveal the information that he was also caught.
If that happens, Zhang's confidence in leaving with him boldly and going to Renjia Town is very likely to be shaken.
After all, running away with an official is completely different from running away with a criminal.
He glanced at Zhang DaDa next to him again, and then his frown suddenly relaxed.
Pointing to the direction he came from, he asked, "Can I go out this way?"
Zhang boldly took a look at the dark mountain forest he was pointing to, and said hesitantly: "Yes, yes, but..."
"Okay, let's go this way."
Li Zhengyi's previous idea was to follow the river to the upper reaches and then sneak into the town.
After retrieving the things from the proprietress of Furong Inn, I left the city overnight.
But now that Zhang boldly said that there were observations and arrests ahead, he definitely couldn't go that way again.
And with Zhang DaDa, a local, leading the way, even if he went back and walked downstream, he would definitely not be nearly lost like him.
Then after daybreak, we can find a place with less turbulent water flow and return to the mainland, and we can leave directly.
As for the rifle he left with his wife, Li Zhengyi thought about it and decided to ask others to pick it up for him. After all, that was relatively safer.
