Chapter 53: Outwitting the Peerless City (4)
This is a place where slums live, slums, cold kilns, whatever you want to call them, the people here don't care.
Most of the houses here are thatched huts, while others are mud houses, with potholed floors, mud walls that have fallen into disrepair, and open-air dilapidated houses with no roofs......
One of them had a big hole in the roof, and the sunlight invaded the house, and the room looked unscrupulously like a pair of beggar brothers.
It's like the person in front of you who suddenly intruded.
"Plop" twice, and the beggar brothers were knocked unconscious by this man.
“…… There's no need for that," Youruo couldn't bear to look at the pair of beggar brothers who fell to the ground, almost as thin as a pole.
"I don't want to look back and see these two people, go and ask for rewards from the disciples of Wushuang City" Li Yang withdrew his hand indifferently and looked at the unbearable Youruo.
"The rich are not necessarily bad, the poor are not necessarily good, and when you are faced with poverty and hunger, you must not expect to be able to distinguish between good and bad people.
I'm going to steal clothes, and now you're wearing a guard's clothes, and it's too eye-catching to walk through the city gates.
Don't try to wake up these two people to explain something, a pair of poor bachelors in their thirties, suddenly saw a helpless beautiful woman standing in their room......"
Li Yang didn't finish speaking, and went out.
He believed that Yu Ruo could understand.
Youruo's eyes were still a little unbearable, but after listening to Li Yang's words, he subconsciously distanced himself from the pair of beggar brothers, looked at the surrounding environment, and muttered: "There is still such a broken house in the world."
She didn't even want to sit down and rest, because there was not a chair in the room for people to sit on, and there were black stains on the floor besides dust, and she didn't know what they were, and they smelled bad.
"Put on" Li Yang came in silently like a ghost, startling Youruo.
At this time, Li Yang had already changed his clothes, and he also held a set of clothes in his hand and handed it to Youruo.
Youruo took the clothes.
It is a cloth cloth made of hemp and arrowroot, the most common clothing for flat-headed people.
"You shouldn't need me to change it for you this time, right?" Li Yang's face finally showed a smile.
Because the plan to send Youruo to escape safely has been mostly successful.
As soon as you heard this, she remembered the scene of being stripped of her clothes before, and her face turned red and said, "You don't go out yet!" ”
Li Yang shrugged, walked out of the dilapidated house, and closed the door for her.
Youruo was just about to untie her clothes, Li Yang came in again, she trembled in fright, and took her clothes to protect her chest.
"You"
"You continue"
Li Yang didn't look at her, walked to the corner, dragged the fainted brothers out of the door, and Li Yang's muttering could be faintly heard through the door panel.
"I don't have this kind of eye, how can I cheapen you two......
Yuruo couldn't help but sneer.
After changing his clothes, he went out to take a look, and saw Li Yang sitting under the wall, not too dirty, and recovering from his strength.
Obviously, this trip is not a small consumption.
Looking at Li Yang's familiar face, a lot of traces of sweat were clearly visible on his forehead, and there was a trace of distress in his heart.
subconsciously looked around, but found that this was no longer a courtyard, there was no tea set, and there was no good tea to pour for Li Yang.
Youruo hung her head helplessly, and suddenly felt that she was really useless.
"What's wrong?" Li Yang had already finished his exercises, stood up, and couldn't help but ask when he saw that Youruo's face was wrong.
"It's okay"
"It's okay, let's get ready for the next step" Li Yang didn't want to delay, and quickly got to the point.
Youruo also became serious.
"Compared to the City Lord's Mansion, the next city gate is not difficult to pass, you are the killer weapon of the Dugu side to deal with the hero, he definitely doesn't want your affairs in his hands to spread out, so he will confin you in the City Lord's Mansion, so, there must not be many people who know you, and those city gate soldiers are obviously not qualified to know, we just need to walk out of the city gate generously like an ordinary person......"
The method is very simple, but it tests a person's psychological quality.
After Li Yang repeatedly advised, he took Youruo out of the house, through the alleys, and onto the street.
The scene in front of me suddenly changed, the hawkers, the lively streets, and the bustling.
Who would have thought that behind this prosperous appearance, there would be a cold kiln.
Li Yang and Youruo are like an ordinary little couple, or brother and sister, blending in and out of the city.
Under the strict rule of the Dugu side, the taxes were heavy, and the city gate was charged a heavy fee, in order to avoid people taking risks, the city gate has always been a heavily guarded place.
All those who went out of the city consciously lined up, for fear that the knife on the guard's waist would fall on them.
Near,
It's getting closer!
Yuruo's hands hidden in her sleeves couldn't help clenching, her palms were full of sweat, she kept in mind Li Yang's advice, be natural, don't panic, bow her head, just like an ordinary girl who is afraid of guarding the obscenity.
"What are you going to do out of town?" The guard in charge of the city gate asked casually.
"Accompany your daughter-in-law to the province," Li Yang said as he handed over the money for leaving the city.
The guard took the money for leaving the city and handed it to one of the guards next to him, who counted it and nodded at him, indicating that the cost was not bad.
But the guards didn't let go of Li Yang, their eyes looked behind Li Yang, and Youruo lowered his head, "This is your daughter-in-law, raise your head"
"It's my daughter-in-law"
Li Yang immediately took half a step forward, with a flattering smile on his face, just like the second shopkeeper at the beginning, and handed over a piece of silver to the guard without leaving a trace, "It's all your own people, please take care of it"
The guard cast a really sensible look, weighed the silver in his hand, and said with satisfaction: "Go over"
"Huh"
Li Yang nodded, took Youruo's hand, and strode forward.
When Yuruo walked past the guard, the guard whistled insolently.
Li Yang ignored it, hugged the shoulders of Youruo, who was angry and wanted to turn her head and glare, forcibly stiffened her body, and walked out of the city gate.
All the way to the west.
You Ruo couldn't turn around, so she could only follow Li Yang to the west.
"Don't look back, look ahead, you look at the forest in the distance, as long as you enter the forest, you will be completely safe, don't do stupid things" Li Yang comforted and took Youruo into the woods.
"Now you can let go," he twisted his shoulders uncomfortably.
Li Yang didn't let go, "It's hard to take advantage of it again, and it will be a while to take advantage of it."
Take advantage!
Why do you have to say again?
Hearing this, Youruo's face turned red, and he struggled for a while, and easily broke free of Li Yang's hand.
He strode forward, as if angry.
But Li Yang could see her red ears from behind.
Obviously, she didn't want Li Yang to see her shyness, the root of her ears was already like this, what would the positive look like?
Li Yang chased after him with a smile.
Youruo heard the deliberate laughter behind him that was getting closer and closer, and hurriedly quickened his pace, as if he was avoiding a man-eating beast.
"Do you run so fast? I don't eat people," Li Yang's voice was still close to him, as if he was only one step away from catching up with her.
Youruo didn't run away.
Because she remembered Li Yang's chasing after the wind and shadows, that kind of speed, even if she recovered her internal strength, she couldn't dodge it, but now, Li Yang fell behind her, as if she was only one step away from catching up, and it was clearly pretended.
Youruo stopped, turned his head and glared at Li Yang fiercely, "You don't eat people, you hurt people"
"I'm obviously saving people," Li Yang smiled and pointed at Youruo.
"You're harming people," Yu Ruo said unreasonably.
"Then tell me, how did I hurt you?" Li Yang asked.
"I ......"
Yu Ruo was speechless, and finally muttered unwillingly: "It's harming people"
"What about the horse that Nie Feng prepared?" Youruo was afraid that Li Yang would ask any more embarrassing questions, so she hurriedly changed the topic.
"It should be not far ahead," Li Yang had already heard the sound of the horse's snort.
And also......
"Alas" Li Yang sighed, and grabbed Youruo, who was anxious to find the horse in front.
"What's wrong?" Youruo saw that his expression was wrong, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"We were discovered"
After Li Yang finished speaking, he turned around, protected Youruo behind him, and looked directly at the way he came.
The visitor hadn't yet appeared, but the footsteps were getting closer.
"Run forward, find the horse, and get out of here," Li Yang instructed Youruo.
The smiling face just now was gone, replaced by a serious face on the way to escape.
He heard the sound of rushing footsteps, but he didn't know who it was.
It could be a creep, or it could be a lonely party.
"What about you?"
"I'm blocking them"
"I don't" Youruo stood tightly behind Li Yang.
"Disobedient?" Li Yang's voice had a commanding tone.
Youruo's heart trembled, but he mustered up his courage and said loudly: "I haven't been obedient"
The two were at a stalemate, and the best escape time was wasted, and the possibility of escaping together was completely broken.
Feeling Youruo's resoluteness, Li Yang said helplessly: "Then you hide first"
Youruo didn't want to be Li Yang's burden, so when she heard this, she hesitated, said "be careful" in a low voice, and ran dozens of steps in one breath and hid behind a big tree.
"Stampede"
"Stampede"
…… The chaotic footsteps were getting closer and closer, and even Youruo could hear it.
It turned out to be a group of people!
It shouldn't be Dugu's side, he was led away by Nie Feng, maybe Dugu Ming found the fainting guard in the courtyard and brought people to chase after him......
Li Yang guessed half right.
Half of the guess was wrong.
In front of him appeared a person he had never expected.
A person who was ignored by everyone in the past, but he only valued it, and now he ignores it......
