Night.

In the miscellaneous room, it was so quiet that there was not a single sound.

Shen Muzhi leaned against the wall, staring at the darkness in front of him, without a trace of sleepiness.

Outside the door, the martial arts lady on duty sat on the steps, gently leaning against the doorpost on the side, her eyes closed, and her breathing was steady.

Suddenly, a figure appeared silently under the eaves, with a soft sound, as if a silver light swept by. The woman leaning against the doorpost opened her eyes suddenly, but it was too late, and after a muffled snort, she quietly fell to the ground.

The figure under the eaves quickly turned over and fell, and after quickly turning out the key from the woman, he opened the door and shouted softly: "Third young master?"

Shen Muzhi, who was in the corner of the wall, came back to his senses in surprise and looked at the black shadow at the door.

At this time, the black shadow also saw Shen Muzhi, and immediately rushed over, and after untying the rope on Shen Muzhi's body, he pulled Shen Muzhi to leave.

Shen Muzhi followed and took two steps and suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked the man in black, turning his head.

Shen Muzhi asked him, "Who are you?"

The man in black replied, "You don't care who I am, you just have to follow me!"

Shen Muzhi didn't move, stared at the man in black, and asked, "Why should I go with you?"

The man in black replied, "Because if you don't leave, you will die!" and tomorrow morning, news will come out that you have suddenly contracted a serious illness and are bedridden. In a few days, news will spread that you have died. When the time comes, your body will be buried, and no one will know what the truth is! Even if the general comes back in the future and doubts about it, your body will have already decomposed, and no clues will be found at all! So, are you sure you want to stay here and become a corpse like that?"

Although these words surprised him a little, in fact, they were not too unexpected.

In the past twelve years, he knew very well that the eldest lady had never liked him, and even when he was a child, every time he ran away and was found by his family, when she saw him again, she had that disappointed look in her eyes.

Not disappointed in his naughtiness, but disappointed in the fact that he was found again and again.

Now, she suspects that he has framed her eldest brother.

If Uncle Lian hadn't stopped her before, I'm afraid she would have let the martial girl beat him to death without hesitation. So, now the man in black said that she was going to kill him, but in fact, he thought about it a little carefully, so as to conform to her attitude towards him.

Shen Muzhi naturally didn't want to die here like this.

So, without any hesitation, he followed the man in black out of the house,

Seeing the martial maiden who was crooked there outside the house, Shen Muzhi frowned slightly.

"She didn't die, she just fainted. So we'll have to move quickly, in case she wakes up, you won't be able to leave!" the man in black seemed to guess his thoughts, and whispered.

Shen Muzhi didn't look much more, followed the man in black and quietly found out the uninhabited courtyard, and then took advantage of the night to walk through the silent garden, cross the wall, and leave the General's Mansion.

The man in black led him, walked in the darkness, and sent him all the way to the back door of the Li Family Inn in the west of the city.

When they arrived, at the back door, they heard a carriage pulling goods. The carriage was already loaded with several large boxes, each of which could hold a Shen Muzhi.

A middle-aged man was leaning against the carriage, smoking a big cigarette.

In the smoke, as soon as he raised his eyes and saw the man in black coming with Shen Muzhi, he immediately stood up straight, collected the big smoke, and said to the man in black: "Why is it so slow? Hurry up!" After that, he turned around and moved the big box on the top of the carriage, and then patted the box below, and then said: "Let him enter this box!"

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he immediately frowned, turned his head and asked the man in black: "Is this ...... Out of town?"

The man in black replied as he stretched out his hand to open the box, "If you don't leave the city, you won't have to wait until dawn for you to be found." When you escape, you are already yellow mud stained with the crotch of your pants, and it's not but! When the time comes, you will have mouths all over your body, and you won't want to make it clear!"

Shen Muzhi couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at the black clothed man's cheeks, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong at once. After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "Before you go, can you let me know who you are?"

The man in black replied, "It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that you have to live!" As he spoke, he patted the box and urged, "Hurry up, time is tight, let's go in!"

Seeing this, Shen Muzhi didn't ask any more questions, and after thanking the man in black, he reached out and grabbed the black cloth on the man's face when he turned his head and was about to talk to the middle-aged man.

Unexpectedly, the man in black was extremely vigilant, and with a slight tilt of his body, he easily dodged Shen Muzhi's hand.

If you miss a blow, it is naturally impossible to strike again.

After the man in black glanced at him, he didn't say anything, jumped up, went to the wall next to him, and quickly left.

"Young man, are you leaving?" The middle-aged man's voice pulled Shen Muzhi's gaze back from the direction where the man in black had gone.

He looked at the big box on the carriage and knew that since he had taken the first step in this point of no return, it was impossible to turn back.

"Let's go!" he said in a deep voice as he looked at the middle-aged man.

......

......

In the Zhenbei General's Mansion next to the imperial city, there was already chaos.

The news of Shen Muzhi's escape spread throughout the General's Mansion at once.

The lady of Dongheyuan was so angry that she fainted.

Uncle Lian rushed out of the General's Mansion with his people, preparing to search all over the city.

At the north gate of the city, a carriage full of goods was slowly approaching the city gate.

When the soldiers guarding the door saw the cloth with the words Li Family Inn hanging on the carriage, they stepped forward to greet them with a smile.

The middle-aged man driving the car was familiar with chatting with the soldier while handing over a small purse. There wasn't much money in the small purse, just enough for the soldiers on duty to eat a hot wonton tomorrow.

The soldier grinned and took it, and as soon as he shook his hand, someone behind him began to open the city gates.

After thanking the soldiers, the middle-aged man got back into the carriage, flicked his long whip, and began to walk out.

Not long after the carriage left the city, someone from the General's Mansion came to inform the soldiers on duty, saying that there was a thief in the General's Mansion, and if they were not caught, they would probably escape from the city at night, so that they must be strictly guarded, and not a single fly should be released out of the city!

Outside the city, the middle-aged man drove the carriage, and walked unhurriedly on the flat and wide official road with the dim light emitted by the oil lamp on the front of the carriage.

Suddenly, there was a thump in the stacked wooden boxes behind him.

After listening to it for a while, as if he hadn't heard, the middle-aged man tore off the wine jug from his waist, poured a sip, waved the long whip, and the two horses pulling the cart began to gallop happily after suffering pain.

The middle-aged man's body kept swaying with the carriage, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his smile was a little evil.

About a dozen miles north of the city, there is a land temple.

The incense in this land temple was quite good in the early years, but in recent years, for some reason, it suddenly didn't work, and the incense was getting less and less. Half a year ago, after the only temple in the land temple, Zhu Yuye, fell and passed away, this land temple was abandoned. Nowadays, the temple is overgrown with weeds, the houses are leaking, and even the clay statue of the father-in-law of the land has been damaged in many places.

Suddenly, there was a clattering sound outside the temple, and the sound of wheels running over the stones on the road. In less than a moment, someone shouted, and then a carriage full of goods stopped in front of the temple.

The middle-aged man took off the oil lamp hanging on the front of the car, glanced at the land temple next to him that only half of the door was still standing, turned around and got out of the car and walked to the boxes in the back.

Probably hearing the sound of him getting out of the carriage, or feeling the light of the oil lamp he was carrying, one of the four or five wooden boxes in the carriage suddenly shook, and there was a thudding sound.

The middle-aged man stared at the box for a while, then put the oil lamp aside, and then raised his hand to slap it hard in the box.

There was a muffled thud.

The box fell silent for a moment.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately reached out and unfastened the iron buckle on the box, and then lifted the lid of the box.

The dim light of the oil lamp spilled into the wooden box, and Shen Mu was sweating profusely, and his face was flushed and curled up inside. Seeing that the wooden box was opened, he couldn't wait to come out, but unexpectedly, he was just about to get up with both hands holding the box, but a knife light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shen Muzhi looked up in surprise, and the middle-aged man's originally kind face on the top of his head was now only hideous!
