Chapter Fifty-Eight: Misfortune Leads to Trouble

Here are others pillowing the moonlight, but here the green club is tossing and turning and can't sleep.

At the evening meeting, although he expressed his thoughts at a glance, and it sounded reasonable, it was still difficult to hide the weakness and anxiety in his heart. What kind of person is Helian Zhi, and what kind of place is Beiyi, how can you say that you can escape.

However, they also seem to have no choice. Staying here will be found by them sooner or later, so it's better to find a way out as soon as possible.

Never felt like tomorrow was coming so slowly. Midori's eyes closed, closed, and repeatedly, and her dizzy brain made her feel like the bed was spinning.

How many times before have she been in a desperate situation by herself has never had this kind of panic, because this time she is not only responsible for herself, but also responsible for several other people. She has never been a leader, so she has never experienced the gravity of being burdened.

In a daze, the night gradually faded away from his heavy rendering and ushered in a new glimmer of light.

The next day, Luhui and the others set off just after dawn, and in order to avoid being recognized by others at a glance, they simply painted makeup to "cover" their original faces.

As soon as they stepped out of the door of the inn, the shouts of the officers and soldiers were heard at the end of the streets and alleys not far away, and it turned out that they were going from house to house. I heard that I was checking all night last night, but Beiyi City is bigger, and it won't be possible to check the whole city in a while.

It seems that they made the right decision to leave as soon as possible.

Still acting separately, the four of them had agreed to meet at the gate in the east of the city. The entire city has been sealed off, and now only the gates are the only exit. Green Hui now only hopes that they are not recognized by the officers and soldiers.

It's another year when the Spring Festival arrives, and the sky hasn't yet dawned completely, and the streets are bustling, and people are starting to rush to buy New Year's goods. In order to be more natural, Lu Hui and Chaoyan also learned to look east and west at the people who rushed to the market, and walked all the way in the direction of the city gate.

It was a smooth ride, although passing by the wanted notices with their portraits made them nervous. The wanted warrant is written in black and white for their three crimes: 1. The remnants of the Danqing Palace, 2. Assassinate the emperor, and 3. Abscond in fear of crime!

All three crimes are capital offenses!

Hurriedly arrived at the city gate, and the two suddenly stood still, and at this time they were only about a hundred meters away from the city gate. In front of the city gates, people are lining up to be searched and questioned before they can leave the city.

Because the New Year is approaching, and the Green Hui is wanted by the whole city, the entry and exit management of the city gate is much stricter than usual. This is also the headache of the green hui, if before, if there was no war, the soldiers defending the city would generally not check the people, etc., even if they checked, it would not be difficult to buy the soldiers defending the city for a few copper coins, and it would not be difficult to go out at all.

And an even more unexpected scene appeared for them!

In front of the soldiers, there were basins of clean water, and everyone who was examined had to wash their faces to prove that they had not been "disguised" with makeup.

Helian sik! Midori silently muttered the name in frustration and despair, it seemed that he really didn't intend to let her escape.

But I don't blame him, if I blame him, I can't think of another way. If you use too much of a method, it will produce immunity like a drug, she knows this truth, but she still uses it, and she doesn't blame herself.

When he was distressed, there was a rush of footsteps in his ears, and when he looked up, it turned out that Yun'er and Ning Shuang had also arrived.

The two of them gasped for breath and seemed to be running all the way over. After covering her chest with her hands and adjusting her breath, Yun'er hurriedly said: "The officers and soldiers should arrive here soon, I heard that they searched the city to no avail, and now they are about to come here to block people!" ”

To add insult to injury!

Several people glanced at each other, and their faces changed and changed. This is forcing them to death.

What to do? I'm sure I'll meet them when I go back now, and if I don't leave now, I won't have a chance again. Let's wait in line and see how it goes. Green Hui thought to himself.

The four of them joined the long dragon with trepidation.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in front of him, the vicious voices of the soldiers became clearer and clearer. They were still holding their portraits in their hands and comparing them one by one.

If you really can't do it, just create some chaos and take the opportunity to run out, such a bad method has to be used, and Green Hui can't imagine how bad their situation is at this time.

There are two gates in the east of the city, one in and one out, and the two gates are next to each other, and there are soldiers guarding the city checking the people entering and leaving. From here, you can clearly see the situation entering the city. At this time, there were not many people entering the city, unlike those who left the city with a long queue. Everyone who entered the city would stuff some money into the soldiers to get through.

Green Hui was surprised, and after Chao Yan's explanation on the side, he realized that it was like this here, and he didn't have to pay money when he went out of the city, but he had to pay money when he entered the city. However, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it, in ancient times, there was no need to pay all kinds of tolls and bridge tolls as in modern times, and the government could only think of other ways to squeeze the people's money, and the entrance fee to the city became an important financial revenue.

There are five more people who are about to take their turn, and Green Hui's heart is pounding with nervousness. Her so-called "makeup" is just a simple application of some rouge gouache to modify the shape of her face, change her hairstyle, and change her clothes, which can't stand the test of that basin of clear water at all.

"Hey~hey~ Say you, stop!" Lu Hui was looking down in a trance, and the impatient shouts of the soldiers defending the city were heard in his ears. Thinking that he was screaming, he quickly wiped the ground and raised his head. only to find that it was the soldiers at the city gate next to them who were drinking a man pushing a cart of wine jars.

The jars were piled high and surrounded by wooden fences, a bit like ancient prisoner carts, except that they were not capped. The man was pushing the cart in the back, not tall, and the whole person was almost blocked by the wine jar. Hearing the shouting, he hurriedly took out some broken silver from his sleeve while bowing to the soldier's waist and handed it over.

Taking the broken silver, and weighing it with his hand, the soldier looked at the man with a smile, and then poked the wine jar with the sword in his hand and ordered: "What's in it, open it and see!" ”

Unexpectedly, after paying so much money, he couldn't finish the job, the man obviously panicked, but quickly calmed down, squeezed out a flattering smile and said: "Official, you can do it, these are all fake wines, it's almost the New Year, I just want to make a little more money!" With that, he took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and handed them to the soldier.

With so many pairs of eyes around looking at each other, the soldier still accepted the silver in a grand manner, but he didn't seem to give up, but pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "That's it, we're just doing a routine inspection, you open one of them and show it to me, don't look at the others, and let it go as soon as you see it!" ”

Generally speaking, soldiers are not resistant to people from outside the city selling in the city, which can not only collect some money to enter the city, but also increase taxes, so why not?

The man hesitated for a moment, and thought: This is the only way to go. It's just that money can make the ghost grind this year, but this ghost must be a ghost who is not so "persistent".

Because of this little episode, the pace of the out-of-town inspection on the side of the Green House slowed down, and everyone's eyes were attracted to it. There are two more people who will have their turn in the Green Club.

The man carefully opened the lid of the top jar, and as the lid was lifted, the aroma of the wine was overflowing, and the taste was a little special compared to ordinary wine.

The defenders sniffed vigorously, and the smell of wine penetrated into his nose, refreshing his heart, and suddenly his face was full of intoxication. After exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, the soldier's eyes suddenly lit up, and before everyone could react, he took the open lid of the wine jar from the car, and then took a few large sips.

Everyone was dumbfounded. That's how much of an alcohol addiction it takes to be so crazy! Also, in ancient times, there was really no human rights, and when others said to drink your things, they drank your things, and they didn't have to say hello! Green Club was speechless.

Looking at this scene, the man was no longer calm, and cold sweat was also breaking out on his forehead, and he saw that the soldier's expression gradually became strange from the initial enjoyment, as if he had drunk something strange. In the next second, the soldier suddenly seemed to think of something, threw the wine jar on the ground, and shouted: "It's not good, there is salt hidden in the wine, this person wants to sell illicit salt!"

As soon as he spoke, the man drew his sword and beckoned to the soldier. Then, seven or eight more men suddenly appeared behind the man, presumably his accomplices, all of whom were murderously slashing at the soldiers. It seems that this is a premeditated smuggling.

The other soldiers defending the city saw that something was happening here and hurried over to join the fight, the number of soldiers who actually defended the city was not large, but as soon as the signal was given, the nearby soldiers would immediately come to support. No, it seems that the sound of footsteps can be faintly heard in the distance, accompanied by the whistling of flying dust.

I didn't expect the situation to change suddenly, but this was a great opportunity to escape! However, the soldier in charge of checking the people from the city on the side of the Green Hui stood motionless and continued his own work, perhaps knowing that he had a heavy responsibility on his side and could not afford something to happen.

In that case, they can't be blamed. Midori gestured to the other three and gestured, presumably meaning to take advantage of the chaos and escape from the soldiers in front of him.

Chao Yan, who was behind Lu Hui, immediately understood, and stepped forward with an arrow, and at the same time, the knife in his sleeve also took advantage of the situation, quickly stabbing at the soldier who was a few steps away. Obviously, he couldn't reach it, and between the face and the pull, the soldier stared at his eyes and staggered two steps and fell to the ground.

The soldiers had no time to manage the order, and the crowd, which had been a little chaotic just now, fled like frightened birds, some ran back, some ran directly outside the city, and some didn't even know why they ran, so they ran with the crowd, and the city gate was chaotic, and the screams were endless.

After solving the soldiers, Lu Hui and the others hurriedly rushed to the outside of the city, and the soldiers in the fight here saw their fallen companions and the fleeing crowd realizing that something was wrong, and quickly shouted: "Quick, close the city gate!" ”

The soldiers in charge of opening and closing the city gates were quite professional, and did not leave their posts even in this situation just now, but the crowd poured out, and with their strength they could not close the city gates at all. Everyone was squeezing and pushing, and the shouts of the supporting officers and soldiers were already heard behind them, and in a panic, the door that had just been closed for a short time suddenly opened wide again, and people rushed out with a cheer.

"Stop them, quick, don't let them run!" The leader of the officers and soldiers who walked in the front shouted while galloping his horse, and the hoarse cries still could not change the fact that everyone had already left the city. Thinking that the criminal they were going to capture had probably escaped from the city, his heart was a little cold.

If it weren't for the emperor's repeated instructions to capture them alive, they would have ordered the arrows to be released long ago. (To be continued.) )
