325, out of the city
Xu Shu's health was almost better after drinking two pairs of medicines, and in the evening of that day, Zhou Jin suddenly told her that they were going to leave Pingliang City in the evening.
"Why night?" Xu Shu was puzzled, "It's past the curfew hours, how can you get out of the city!" ”
"I have my own way!" Zhou Jin's identity cannot enter and exit from the city gate normally, otherwise his identity will be exposed once he is interrogated.
Zhou Jin suddenly took out a burden and gave it to Xu Shu, "In order to avoid trouble, you can dress up in men's clothes on the road for the time being!" ”
Xu Shu obediently took the burden, "Okay! "A group of men with a weak girl is really eye-catching, and it is much easier to disguise yourself as a man!
"We'll go when it's dark!" After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he left.
Bang Feng took the burden and looked at Xu Shu with teary eyes, "Miss......"
"Take care of yourself!" Xu Shu patted Bang Feng's shoulder meaningfully.
Bang Feng nodded vigorously, wiped his tears, opened the bag and took out men's clothes, it turned out to be a brand new set, it seems that it is still customized according to Xu Shu's body type, Bang Feng hurriedly changed Xu Shu, and combed Xu Shu with a boy's bun, at first glance, Xu Shu is really no different from a boy in his teens, only a closer look will find that her appearance is more delicate than ordinary boys.
Xu Shu repeatedly told Bangfeng to stay in Pingliang City honestly, and not to leave the courtyard at will, and promised that sooner or later she would go back to find her!
Bang Feng nodded with tears in his eyes.
At the time of the lamp, Zhou Jin pushed the door in a dark shirt, "It's time to go!" ”
Xu Shu nodded, walked to Zhou Jin's side, turned back to "look" at Bang Feng, gave Bang Feng a smile and then turned around and followed Zhou Jin without looking back, Bang Feng covered her mouth behind her and didn't dare to cry.
Zhou Jin hugged Xu Shu on the horse's back, and he also turned over on the horse, the horse paced restlessly, Xu Shu's nervous back was straight, Zhou Jin comforted the horse and said, "Don't be afraid, with me, you won't fall!" ”
Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou Jin said again, "It doesn't matter if you fall, your brain will be trampled on in an instant, and you will die before you have time to feel the pain!" ”
Xu Shu gritted her teeth and didn't hear it, holding the saddle tightly in her hand, the night breeze lifted Xu Shu's hair and brushed Zhou Jin's face, and an indescribable aroma wafted through Zhou Jin's nose, making Zhou Jin couldn't help but sniff hard in secret.
Zhou Jin looked back at the rest of the people, and saw that they had all got on their horses, so he ordered, "Let's go!" With a hard grip on the horse's belly, the horse rushed out like an arrow from a string, but the horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, and landed on the street without much sound, and did not cause much movement in the silence of the night.
The horse galloped westward, and gradually entered the west of the city where ordinary people lived, low houses, narrow alleys, so that the horse's speed gradually slowed down, and finally stopped at the door of a small courtyard where the ashes fluttered and inconspicuous, Zhou Jin got off the horse and hugged Xu Shu down, Xu Shu was almost broken up by the horse, and shrunk on the horse's back softly, and his legs were so weak that he could barely stand when he was carried down, Zhou Jin simply hugged her and walked to the door, Xu Shu considered his physical strength and did not struggle.
Lin Heng stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door three times, stopped for a breath and slowed down the speed and knocked three more times, and then the door was opened a gap a foot wide, and the people inside the door looked at the outside vigilantly, and only after Lin Heng saw Zhou Jin did he call "Childe", and then completely opened the door, lowered his head to hide his surprise when he saw Zhou Jin holding someone in his arms.
Zhou Jin seemed to be very familiar with the small courtyard, went straight to the wing, put down Xu Shu, and explained, "You rest here for a while!" Without waiting for Xu Shu's reaction, he went out again.
Xu Shu touched the earthen kang where he was sitting, as well as the quilt skin of cheesecloth, without special discernment, it was already filled with the entire nasal cavity mixed with mud and damp breath, this is a small courtyard of a serious ordinary people's house, it seems that Zhou Jin has a lot of strongholds in Pingliang City, in addition to Chunmanlou and here, with Zhou Jin's temperament, there should be a stronghold.
Although it was bumped on horseback just now, Xu Shu still paid attention to the direction, they were traveling westward, it seems that Zhou Jin is planning to go out of the city from the West City Gate, too, most of the people living in the west of the city are poor people, so the search of the West City Gate is also the most loose, and it is easier to get out.
Xu Shu held her forehead and thought about it, should she cause chaos when she went out of the city and sell Zhou Jin so that she could take the opportunity to get out? After thinking about it again, Xu Shu still shook her head and denied it, even if she got out, she couldn't explain herself to the officials, after all, she was a dead person now, and in the end, in order to seal her mouth, she changed from a fake dead to a living dead, which is too cost-effective.
Thinking about it like this, I can only wait to get out of the city, Xu Shu frowned, the soreness in her thighs made her brows furrow even tighter, this horse is too bumpy on the back, far less comfortable than sitting in the carriage, and I don't know how long it will take to get out, otherwise she will be bumped to death before she can get out.
Xu Shu settled down and Xu Shu returned to the main room, and before he entered the house, he saw that the person who had just opened the door was looking at him with gossip eyes, Zhou Jinyan glanced at him, "Xue Ji, just ask what you want to ask!" ”
The man scratched his head and really asked, "What is the identity of the little boy that Childe just brought in?" ”
Lin Heng on the side covered his mouth and forcibly held back a smile, Zhou Jin coughed, Lin Heng hurriedly put down his hand to be serious, Zhou Jin said lightly, "An old man!" ”
The word old man is really appropriate, Xu Shu and Zhou Jin met earlier, and they can indeed be regarded as old people, Xue Ji really put away the gossip on his face after listening to it, but Lin Heng, who pretended to be serious, laughed secretly in his heart, that "little boy" is not just the old man of the son, although no one dared to say it in front of the son that night, the people below would have already exploded.
"Childe is going out of the city?" Xue Ji is colorful.
Zhou Jin nodded, and Xue Ji said again, "The subordinates expected that the son should leave recently, and he ordered to answer outside the city a few days earlier!" ”
"Prepare a carriage!" Zhou Jin commanded.
Xue Ji was stunned and puzzled, "Childe, you are already several days later than the original plan, you shouldn't hurry up to catch up with the trip, why do you need a carriage?" The carriage is more than twice as slow as a fast horse! ”
Zhou Jin said, "Anyway, it's already late, so it doesn't matter if you delay for a few more days, I have my own plans, you can arrange it!" ”
Xue Ji glanced at Lin Heng, Lin Heng numbled his mouth, and motioned him to do it, Xue Ji had to scratch his head and go down to arrange, Xue Ji left, Lin Heng stepped forward and asked, "Childe, do you really want to take the girl back to Rouran together?" ”
Zhou Jin nodded, "I have my own arrangements for this!" He made another silent gesture, "Be quiet, this house is small, be careful that she hears it!" ”
