The Yuelai Inn where they stayed before was obviously uninhabitable, and they had to notify Wu Yichang as soon as possible, so that he could quickly change his appearance, and then the two of them moved out of the Yuelai Inn together and found another place to live.

After getting off the carriage in Dongcheng District, Zhou Rong took another carriage and returned directly to the Yuelai Inn in Xicheng District.

Wu Yichang has not yet returned.

Zhou Rong was a little uneasy, and immediately rushed to the direction of investigation that Wu Yichang had demarcated today.

Although the area was demarcated, because the scope was too wide, Zhou Rong searched for a long time and did not find Wu Yichang, but on the way, he met a few groups of people sent by Xiao Hong and the Liu family to arrest them, and immediately expressed deep concern for Wu Yichang's safety.

However, he also knows that Wu Yichang is a good hand at arresting people, and his skills are very good, so he also believes that he has enough ability to escape the pursuit of these groups.

After looking for a long time and not finding Wu Yichang, Zhou Rong went back to the Yuelai Inn alone when it was getting dark.

When I arrived at the door of the inn, I happened to see Wu Yichang who came back, and immediately stepped forward to take Wu Yichang's hand and whispered: "I'm Zhou Rong, we are being targeted, you go back to the room immediately to change your appearance, and then we will find another place to live." ”

Wu Yichang nodded, immediately went to the shopkeeper to settle the account, and then went back to the room to change his appearance.

Not long after, Wu Yichang also turned into a gray-bearded old man, and slowly left the Yuelai Inn with Zhou Rong hand in hand.

After leaving the Yuelai Inn, the two did not take the carriage immediately, but walked along a street leading to the suburbs in the city, and when they walked to a more remote place, Zhou Rong said: "Can you find that someone is following you today?"

Wu Yichang said: "When I was on Willow Street, I vaguely felt that there were a few pairs of eyes staring behind me, and then I hid in a small restaurant, and when I came out again, I disappeared from those people. Speaking of this, Wu Yichang lowered his voice and said, "Lord Zhou, could it be that the Shu Kingdom Imperial Court has already known about our movements?"

"Well, obviously. Although we have been very secretive in the past few days, we are all looking for the same place, and we are asking passers-by about the same place, and asking too many questions will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others, by the way," Zhou Rong glanced around quickly, and then leaned close to Wu Yichang's ear and said: "I have been looking for the place we are looking for, but the house was locked when I arrived." I was about to camp there when I noticed five men chasing me, so I'll rush back to inform you. ”

"Where is that place?" Wu Yichang asked excitedly.

Zhou Rong told him the specific location.

Judging from Zhou Rong's account and the characteristics of that place, it is indeed very consistent with the place mentioned in the letter, so Wu Yichang was also quite excited when he heard it, but now is not the best time to go back there again to see, so he asked Zhou Rong what to do.

Zhou Rong said: "Let's find a remote place to live first, don't go out for three days, and wait for three days to pass and then act according to the situation." ”

Wu Yichang nodded, and said uneasily: "In case they remember our facial features, won't it be easy to recognize the bosses of those four trading houses next time we go to supply them?"

"Have you ever met them up close?" Zhou Rong asked.

Wu Yichang shook his head.

Zhou Rong's expression relaxed, and he smiled at him: "They didn't even see my face, so don't worry." ”

Hearing Zhou Rong say this, Wu Yichang finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

The two crossed a bridge, and saw a small village in front of them, and went there.

This is a small village at the end of the ninth street in Dongcheng District, and its location is relatively remote, so it looks like a rural place. Both of them felt safe to live here, so they rented an old house to live in.

This old house has not been inhabited for many years, and it is behind a large area of old-style old houses, it really seems to be an isolated place, Zhou Rong and Wu Yichang are very satisfied here, and they rolled up their sleeves and came to a thorough cleaning that night, and when they were busy until late at night, they finally cleaned up the house.

Zhou Rong picked some flowers from the garden and inserted them on the empty bottles, and immediately the whole house was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

"It's finally like a home now. Zhou Rong looked at the clean and tidy room and said.

"Mm-hmm, this place reminds me of my ancestral home. Wu Yichang said with emotion.

Zhou Rong also said with emotion: "If only the people of the five countries of the Central Plains could be like a family." ”

Wu Yichang sat down on the old rattan chair, stretched out his tired long legs, and said, "This can only be a dream, who will be willing to be replaced by the monarchs of the five countries, let alone hand over the territory." ”

"What if there is really one person who has the ability to unify the five countries of China?" Zhou Rong suddenly asked.

"Who? I don't think it will be possible, and none of the other kings of the four kingdoms has such a mind and courage according to the current situation. Wu Yichang said in a low voice.

"Maybe there will be one in the future?" Zhou Rong smiled, "At that time, there will be no need to guard against each other between the five countries, how good it is to be united." ”

Zhou Rong said this with longing on his face.

Wu Yichang smiled and shook his head gently, he didn't think anyone could do it, after all, the strength of these five countries is very strong, and they have been living in peace for decades, if force is used, the damage is too great, it is not a wise choice, and it is unlikely to be achieved through the Ninth Five-Year Competition, after all, no one can guarantee that their country can win every competition.

Zhou Rong knew that he didn't believe it, and he didn't say much, but he still had a faint expectation in his heart, looking forward to a new pattern in the Central Plains in the near future.

For the next three days, Zhou Rong and Wu Yichang stayed at home except for going to the vegetable market outside to buy some food.

Because they were really idle, the two big men competed in cooking, so the two took turns cooking, and each meal made three different dishes, so after three days, the two really had a good time.

The 110 people sent by Xiao Hong and the Liu clan to search for the whole city still found nothing after three days of non-stop searching, so they had to come back and report to Xiao Hong tremblingly.

Xiao Hong slapped the table angrily and said, "A group of rice buckets, how many districts are there in the capital? One hundred and ten people can't even find those two people?"

The team leader hurriedly knelt down and said: "The subordinates once saw the trace of one of them, but in the process of pursuit, I don't know what means the other party used, and it disappeared from under the nose in a blink of an eye. ”

"That's your incompetence. Xiao Hong said angrily.

The team leader didn't dare to speak.

The Liu clan was also present, and when he heard this, he comforted Xiao Hong and said: "Isn't there no record of suspicious people leaving the city? This means that they are still hiding somewhere in the capital, and then we will secretly act and go deep into those corner areas to find them, maybe we will be able to find them soon." ”

Xiao Hong felt that it made sense, so he arranged for another 110 people to sneak into the streets and alleys of the capital in peasant clothes to find it.
