Chapter 208: Chang'an or Luoyang

Mu Na and another Hu woman sat in the carriage and looked at each other, the woman driving was very neat, and after the two got into the carriage, she whipped her horsewhip and hurried out of the city. As soon as the carriage arrived at the city gate, the streets of Suzhou rang out with the sound of gongs, and the watchmen shouted: "The water has gone! It's out of the water!"

For a while, the entire streets of Suzhou were in chaos, and the direction of the big food restaurant was full of fire.

The carriage had been out of the city for ten miles before it came to a halt in a village that had long been deserted.

Ayahan lifted the curtain and said to the two bearded women, "There are clothes in the carriage, you can change them."

They were originally Hu people, extremely rare in the Han realm, and the clothes they wore were also bold and exposed, if they walked in the crowd, they would definitely be the focus of attention.

The two followed Ayahan's instructions and changed the clothes of ordinary Han women in the carriage.

"Come out when you're done."

The two of them said in their hearts: How can this Han woman be cold? Look at the book

Ayahan parked the carriage in a small courtyard and led the two women into the house, not building a bonfire, but sitting quietly on the ground.

Ayahan kept staring at the direction of Suzhou, and silently prayed in her heart: You must come back.

Mu Na plucked up her courage and asked the sharp-hearted Han woman, "Girl, I ...... it."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Ayahan looked at her and asked, "Your name is Muna, right?"

"Yes."

"I apologize to you for him."

Mu Na was stunned, and a sense of loss welled up in her heart.

Ayahan continued, "I'm sorry, he lied to you, he didn't mean that. We have come to Suzhou for other purposes, but don't worry, girl, as an excuse, we will take you out of the devil's cave and take you to a safe place."

Mu Na knew in her heart that the handsome boy she had been in contact with in the past few days had a plan. She had heard Alia say that this boy had brought a heroic girl with him when he came the first two times, and the two looked very affectionate, and he was also very honest. Less than a day later, the boy came to the restaurant again and ordered her. Although he was puzzled, he didn't know what he was going to do, but it was always good to have money to make.

Until the two mentioned Qin Zhiyang, Mu Na faintly sensed that something was wrong, but she had already boarded the thief ship, and if something really happened, she couldn't escape. What's more, she has expectations in her heart, enough days like this, even if she is really deceived, it is worth dying in Suzhou.

There are many Hu women in her line of work, and the women in Fengyue Field age quickly, and the wrinkles on their faces begin to deepen at the age of twenty-six or seventeen. Once they lose their appearance, they will no longer have the opportunity to contact the rich and powerful, so they can only stoop to accompany those who are inferior to the ninth-rate guests. In a few years, even the last bit of posture will be exhausted...... To be honest, she didn't know where those old women had gone, they seemed to have disappeared from this world, without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Mu Na smiled miserably and asked, "Girl, where are you going to take us?"

"There are two places for you to choose from, the first is Chang'an, where there are a lot of Hu people, and you two women will not arouse suspicion when they get there. We'll pay you to open a storefront, but it's up to you what you want to do. The second is Luoyang, we have some friends in Luoyang, we don't need you to do anything when we get there, we can let you live in peace for a while."

Chang'an can entrust Zhu Mingyu's brother-in-law, relying on the strength of their family, it is not a problem to get a small shop to support the family. Not to mention Luoyang, at least Li Fenglan would definitely be willing to help the two of them.

The two Hu women don't know much about the Central Plains, and the closest place to the Central Plains is Liangzhou.

Another woman whispered, "Which one is closer to us?"

"Chang'an."

She looked at Mu Na: "Mu Na, let's go to Chang'an."

Mu Na bit her lip, "I—Can I follow you?" Don't worry, girl, I know your relationship with Childe, and I won't think about it. You have saved us, and I am willing to be by your side, as a slave and a slave!"

Ayahan shook her head, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's not that I don't believe him, it's just that our trip is dangerous...... Miss Muna, we'd better forget about each other, it's good for you."

Mu Na wanted to hold on, but heard footsteps coming from the yard. Ayahan stood up and drew his knife, protecting the two behind him.

"Ayahan, how are you doing?" It was Xu Qingchen, Ayahan breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.

Xu Qingchen's tall figure almost covered the entire door, and even the moonlight could not penetrate it.

Ayahan replied, "We're fine, what about you?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine...... It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so let's hurry overnight."

Mu Na looked at the expressions of the two talking from the side, they really cared about each other and believed in each other...... If you don't believe it, what woman would dare to let her man go to that kind of place?

A horse-drawn carriage drove lonely in the middle of the night in the northwest trade road, slowly driving in the direction of Chang'an. Behind them, the fire in the Suzhou Food Restaurant had stopped. The archers who had hidden in the city vanished without a trace.

Behind a certain sand dune, a trio of men with bows and arrows poked their heads out and stared at the carriage from afar.

"Senior brother, you don't need us to keep an eye on it, right?"

"Uncle Shi asked us to see which direction they were going, now I know, to the east. Let's go back."

Another person asked, "Senior brother, what do you say...... What is Uncle Shi doing this for? Isn't our task to look at Qin Zhiyang? If you can't stand it and kill it, why bother?"

"What do you want me to say about you? How many times has Uncle Shi taught you a lesson? Don't believe in Night Feather Xiaozhu, our cooperation is not strong, and we have to keep our own hands. These two people obviously have a little relationship with the Xianrentang side, whether we want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains or return to Shuzhong, we have to have a good relationship with the rivers and lakes, and both parties can do it well."

"I still don't understand."

"Take your time, go to you."

In the carriage, Ayahan saw two frightened and tired Huren women snuggling up to each other and sleeping, she opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage and sat beside Xu Qingchen.

Xu Qingchen asked, "Don't you sleep?"

"Where can I sleep, tell me, what's wrong?"

Xu Qingchen shook his head and said disappointedly, "Before he could say anything, he was killed."

Ayahan was surprised: "Killed? What do you mean?"

"Those archers, three arrows killed...... Before he died, he said that he did have something to do with what happened nineteen years ago, but Boss Yao ...... He didn't kill him."

"A dying quibble, perhaps?"

"It's possible."

"Why did the archers kill him? Aren't they protecting him?"

Xu Qingchen replied, "Maybe it's not protection, it's surveillance. It's just that I don't understand, why didn't we kill Qin Zhiyang at the beginning, but we only did it when we came to the door. Besides, the killers weren't interested in me and didn't want to do anything to me."

Ayahan pondered for a moment: "Could it be...... He has the ability to kill, but try not to kill him, unless we find him on the head before we can do it?"

"It's possible...... I'm slow-headed, but I think there's something you're right."

"What's the matter?"

"Between Night Feather Xiaozhu and the mastermind behind the scenes, it is not monolithic. Tell us the name Qin Zhiyang, it should be in the calculation of Night Feather Xiaozhu."

"Why would they do that?"

Xu Qingchen shook his head again, lifted the black robe on his body, and wrapped Ayahan in it, resisting the northwest wind for her. He replied in a low voice, "I don't understand it either, wait until I see Miss Li, let her think."

"Hey."

"What's the matter?"

"You're going to apologize to someone tomorrow."

"I see."
