While Ah Zhuo and Qiu Sha were in a-for-tat confrontation in the general's mansion, Aunt Jiang knocked on and escorted a man with a hooded head and a black body through the main street of the capital, and walked towards the gate where the leper usually escorted out of the city.

There was still some distance from the city gate, and a large number of armed guards had been set up to prevent all the idle people from passing through, and if anyone accidentally approached, the guards would immediately come out and drive them away with a bad attitude.

However, when the imperial guards blocking the road saw Aunt Jiang, there was a small commotion. There was not a single one of them who did not know a leper woman, and there was not a man who had not seen a leper escorting a leper with lepers. They all took a few steps back to each side of the road, with a more or less frightened look on their faces. After a few steps backing down as if he were a small leader, he thought of something inappropriate, so he casually pulled a soldier beside him, pushed him a step forward, and ordered with a majestic appearance: "Usually there are two lepers who go out of the city, but today there is only one." You, go and check them out and see if there's anything suspicious! ”

Although the little soldier was unwilling, there was an order from above, and he couldn't help but obey it. Even if he was unwilling, no matter how afraid of leprosy in his heart, he still had to step forward, stand behind the barricade and instruct Aunt Jiang and them to stop a few meters away, pretending to be calm and asking loudly: "Who is this person you are escorting?" Why are you the only one acting today? ”

Aunt Jiang saluted the little soldier and said, "Master Jun, the woman escorted a leper patient, and Po Wu, who usually escorted the patient with the woman, was sick and could not travel. As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, and her distorted face showed no recognizable expression.

As if she was afraid that the little soldier would not believe it, she deliberately pulled the person who was tightly wrapped in black up and down and said to the person, "Stretch out your hand to show the military master!" ”

The man slowly pulled up one sleeve, revealing a hand covered in pus and blood.

Seeing such a terrifying hand, the little soldier covered his mouth and face as if he was afraid of being infected by the virus, hurriedly jumped back a few meters away, waved at Aunt Jiang again and again, and shouted in panic: "You guys hurry up!" ”

"Thank you, Master Jun." Aunt Jiang did not forget to salute and thank the little soldier, and then walked through the barricade and continued to walk forward.

In the next few checkpoints, because of the great protector of the leper and the terrifying rotten hand of the detainees, the guards guarding the gates were not willing to say more to these two people, let alone search or anything. So, all the way unimpeded, the two went out of the city smoothly.

The section of the road to the leprosy tower is usually not walked by many people, but now it is even more secluded when the city is closed.

Aunt Jiang escorted the people to walk for a while on the road that was so quiet that only one or two birds were occasionally seen, stopped and looked around, and after making sure that there was no one else, she turned around and started to untie the rope on the detainee's body, and said, "It should be safe to come here." ”

The restraints on his body were untied, and the man quickly tore off the black veil covering his head and face, revealing the face of a young man, which had many pustules oozing with blood, as terrifying as the rotten hands that had been exposed in front of the imperial guards.

The young man wiped the pus off his face with the black veil that he had torn off, and an ordinary face that was no different from a passer-by appeared in front of Jiang's aunt. The young man threw away the black veil, and said gratefully while taking off the black clothes on his body: "Aunt Jiang, thank you!" ”

"Don't be polite to me! Before anyone is looking, you can get out of here quickly! Aunt Jiang looked at the surrounding environment nervously and urged urgently.

The young man nodded, handed the clothes he took off to Aunt Jiang, and said, "The next thing is Aunt Lao Jiang." ”

With that, the boy turned and hurried back the way he had come.

This teenager with a passerby's face that people can't remember when they see it is Du Xiaomeng.

This time, she is the chief planner of the plan to go out of the city, and Aunt Jiang and Aunt Yang are the competent deputies. first asked Aunt Yang to transform her into a teenager with pus and blood on her face and hands; Then, when Aunt Jiang and the others came to test whether the patient was really suffering from leprosy, Aunt Yang and Aunt Jiang cooperated to let another leper who came with her drink the problematic tea, causing her to have diarrhea and she couldn't walk steadily, so in the end, it was logical for Aunt Jiang to escort the patient to the leprosy tower outside the city alone.

As for the plan he came up with, what is the chance of success, Du Xiaomeng has no bottom in his heart. However, I didn't expect to get out of the city so smoothly.

Although Du Xiaomeng felt that the plan was a little unbelievably smooth this time, but the person had already come out, so she couldn't waste time on unnecessary thinking. Now that the situation is pressing, the first thing she needs to do now is to pass on Old Man Zhan's words to Zhan Qi as soon as possible, and do her best to prevent things from developing to the worst.

Du Xiaomeng touched the things hidden in his arms.

What she hid in her arms was a map and a few ingots of silver given by Aunt Yang, as well as a silver mobile phone. Touching the silver phone, her heart inexplicably had a trace of panic, she couldn't delay on the road, she couldn't let him do things against her will when she was threatened, she couldn't let him get into trouble! Thinking of this, her steps couldn't help but be bigger and faster.

I kept walking desperately forward, and I didn't dare to stop even if I got pain in the soles of my feet and dry lips and scorched tongue. In this kind of time when you feel that the road ahead is boundless, Du Xiaomeng's thirst for carriages, sedan chairs and other means of travel has never been as strong as it is now. However, after several difficulties to escape, without prior arrangements and preparations, in this place where you don't go to the shop and don't rely on the village, how can there be a carriage or sedan chair parked here waiting for you to use?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the road ahead is getting longer and longer. Don't think about anything, just keep your feet on your feet!

After a day's hurried journey according to the route indicated on the map, Du Xiaomeng finally walked to the nearest town to the capital - Phoenix Town before dark. Although she was in a hurry, it was not so safe for her to walk outside alone when it was dark, so she had to find an inn in Phoenix Town to stay, rest for one night and wait for dawn before going on the road.

After walking for a day, I have never walked so quickly and walked for so long as I do now, and I don't know when I walked, and after sitting down, I found that my feet were so sore that they didn't look like my own, not only that, but there were also several blisters on my feet. However, Du Xiaomeng couldn't take pity on her feet at this time, she put a pair of blistered and sore feet into the hot water of the footbasin to soak, and then took out the map and spread it on the table to look carefully at the lights on the table.

Aunt Yang marked several important places in red, and Phoenix Town, where she was located, was one of the places marked in red. The route she is taking now, according to Aunt Yang, is the route that must be taken when she arrives in the capital, and as long as she follows this necessary road to meet the army who was ordered to return to Beijing, she will definitely be able to meet Zhan Qi.

Fingers swiped along the red mark, followed by Phoenix Town is Heifenggang, followed by Xiushuiping. If you continue at the current pace, where will you meet him? If he could find him one day earlier, he would have one less day of psychological burden, right?

Looking at the map in his hand in a daze, his face involuntarily appeared in his mind, and his voice sounded......

Stop, stop! Du Xiaomeng came back to her senses suddenly, she shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off everything that shouldn't be in her mind, but it was a bit in vain.

She stretched her feet out of the cold water, grabbed the rag and wiped it a few times, and quickly jumped on the bed and pulled the quilt over her head. Sleep, sleep, you won't have too many messy thoughts that shouldn't be in your sleep.
