Liu Jizu walked a few miles forward and saw Wu Lun and Xiao Hei, and the old Liao and his family were also waiting on the side of the road with a mule cart, and Liu Jizu was busy going to see the ceremony.

When Wu Lun saw him arrive, he was not polite, and immediately got in the car and set off.

In the afternoon of the next day, they rushed to the outside of Dingxiang County, where they first hid in the remote woods and waited until it was dark before they came to that town.

Wu Lun drove the mule cart directly into the side street, the two cars had not stopped, the door on the left hand side opened first, and out of it came out a mother-in-law, who was the one he saw on the day he came.

As soon as she saw that it was Wu Lun, she didn't speak, took out the key, opened the door opposite, made a gesture of please, and closed the door and went back.

Wu Lun opened the door directly, Zhao Tian and Zhao Mingzhu were both in the courtyard, it was this time, Zhao Mingzhu was still practicing martial arts. When the two saw that it was Wu Lun and they came, they were overjoyed. Their mother and daughter were locked up in such a small dilapidated house every day, and they were impatient to wait, so Zhao Mingzhu was about to beg Wu Lun to set off and take them out of here.

Wu Lun smiled and said, "It's too late today, the door of the county town has been closed early, and it's inconvenient to take a detour, so it's better for us to leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Mingzhu quieted down after hearing this, and the old Liao Tou family hurriedly went to meet Zhao Tian and Zhao Mingzhu at this time.

Zhao Tian was even more overjoyed to see Lao Liaotou, she said to Wu Lun and others: "It's great to see you today, Uncle Mengliao's family will not give up, willing to take care of us, we will treat them as elders in the future, in addition to food and accommodation every month, and then give you two taels of silver to support the old couple." ”

The old Liao Tou couple hurriedly saluted and said: "Mr. Tian has a great kindness to us, now is the time to repay him, you can't take money!"

Zhao Tian helped them up, "Don't say that, you two elders, we will be a family in the future." You are our elders, but the money still has to be given. ”

Wu Lun said: "Don't be polite, hurry up and eat something to rest, we will set off tomorrow, and it will be safe to leave the Xinzhou boundary as soon as possible." ”

A few people unloaded the car together and packed up their things for the night.

The next morning, the old woman brought a lot of food, which was still hot when it was delivered, and it was probably made at the opposite door.

I had to hurry later, and it was rare to be able to eat hot, so I ate a lot more, and then packed up my things and got into the car together. Zhao Tian's mother and daughter were still hiding in the dark grid, and in order to balance the weight, Liu Jizu got into Lao Liaotou's car.

They entered the county seat early, and there were wanted notices for the arrest of Wu Lun and the others posted at the gate of the city, but the soldiers defending the city did not check it. The two cars went one after the other, without stopping for a moment to cross the central street, and went directly out of the county seat.

There are two roads outside the county, one leads to Xinzhou City to the west, and the other leads to Jinyang City, the seat of Shanxi Road, to the south. Xinzhou couldn't go, so they rushed south to Jinyang.

Because of Zhao Tian's mother and daughter, they didn't dare to stay in the hotel in Xinzhou, and they rested in the mountains and forests close to the city at night. In this way, he walked for two days in the open air, and finally left the boundary of Xinzhou. But for the sake of safety, they still let Tian's mother and daughter hide in the dark grid, and insisted on it for two more days before letting them out.

The mother and daughter suffered a lot of sins, and finally came out during the day, Zhao Mingzhu was so happy that when the car stopped to rest, she almost started singing.

Wu Lun stopped her and said to the few people who gathered together: "Our road is still long, and this place is not far from Xinzhou, so it's better for us to be low-key and cautious." ”

Zhao Tian said: "What my brother said is very true, why don't you set a few rules, so that we know how to behave." ”

Wu Lun nodded, "If you don't say it, I will also explain it." From tomorrow onwards, you won't have to be in the dark compartment, and you'll have to cross the city, so you'll have to deal with it safely. Some time ago, I asked people to get a vacant place, and we are going to change the name. I think we will pretend to be a family, all surnamed Lee, and go to Gyeonggi Province to seek refuge with relatives. The relative's name is Ji Tong, this is his real name, and he is the person arranged by my teacher in the capital. Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao are elders, let's call them our parents, I and you will pretend to be children, our brothers and sisters are commensurate, my name is Li Youcai, my wife is called Li Wang, and my step-ancestor is my son, called Li Chuanzong, you all want to have a name!"

When Zhao Tian heard this, he glanced at his daughter and said: "This is very good, I will call it Li Cuilian, my husband died early, and my family has no support, so I went back to my parents' house, and my daughter is called Li Ruping with her mother's surname, and her step-ancestor is a cousin." ”

Wu Lun nodded and looked at the old Liao Tou couple.

Lao Liao Tou also walked the rivers and lakes with Mr. Tian, had some knowledge, thought about it, and said: "My name is Li Fugui, my wife Li Wu." ”

Wu Lun listened, asked Liu Jizu to find pen and ink, and wrote the names of several people on the empty place according to the regulations, and deliberately asked him to write the characters smaller, leaving more gaps, in case there is an old Liao Tou who joins temporarily, so as to add the names of the people.

After writing, Wu Lun dried the ink and said solemnly: "You are all familiar with your new identity, don't make mistakes." In my experience, most cities don't check the identity of people coming and going. But if there are special circumstances, it is difficult to say, we still usually call them according to the name on the place, and it will be better to pass the inspection in the future. ”

Seeing that several people agreed, Wu Luncai continued: "In addition to changing the name, let's set a few more rules, you must abide by them." First, don't run around until you reach your destination to avoid accidents. ”

After speaking, looking at Zhao Mingzhu, Zhao Mingzhu was a little uncomfortable, "Why are you looking at me, I promise not to run around!"

Second, don't speak easily in front of outsiders, and when you need to negotiate, I'll come forward. Third, when you encounter danger, don't panic, follow the command, and I and the Chuan Sect will protect your safety. I wonder if you'll be able to do it?"

Several people said that there was no problem, and they promised to follow these rules.

"That's good, if nothing else, I estimate that we will be able to reach our destination in half a month at most. My plan is to bring you to Gyeonggi Province and have my mentor settle you, so that it is safer and close to me and my step-ancestors, so that it can be easily dealt with in any situation. ”

Zhao Tian said: "Brother is thoughtful, just do what you say!"

Seeing that Wu Lun had finished explaining, Zhao Mingzhu came over, pulled Liu Jizu's sleeve, and asked him to come with him.

Liu Jizu glanced at the master, but the master didn't say anything, he could only frown and follow her to the side. Zhao Mingzhu said coquettishly: "Brother Chuanzong, I have almost practiced what you taught me, can you teach me some new moves?"

Liu Jizu scratched his head, "It's on the road now, it's not easy to teach, let's talk about it when we get to the destination!"

Zhao Mingzhu was a little unhappy, but he also knew that it was really inconvenient now, so he had to give up.

Liu Jizu hurriedly fled back to Wu Lun's side and ate dry food. Their dry food was bought on the road, and they didn't dare to make a fire at all, so they could only make do with it.

Wu Lun couldn't stand it anymore, and he looked forward to eating something delicious in the next city tomorrow. They came to Yangqu County from Dingxiang County to the south in one breath, and they were finally able to eat something good. Wu Lun is also very familiar with this place, and seems to have been here many times. He led everyone to the best restaurant and ordered a table of the best local dishes.

Everyone swept up the food as if they hadn't eaten for a few days, and the guys in the restaurant couldn't help laughing when they saw it.

But Wu Lun insisted on not letting them live in the city, and everyone was puzzled, Wu Lun explained: "It's not too far from Xinzhou, it's not safe in the city, and it's completely under the control of the government. There were errands, catchers, and defenders inside the city, and some garrisons outside the city. In case something happens, I can't take care of it alone, and I can't protect you. Outside the city, however, there are at most some post men and strong men, and those people are no match for us. What's more, in addition to the government, there are many people in the city. You may not have noticed, but those people are constantly checking all kinds of people passing by to see if there is anyone to target. With so much belongings with us, it is not advisable to stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time, and it is safer to leave as soon as possible. ”

Everyone was skeptical, but they all knew that he was experienced in the rivers and lakes, and it was not easy to refute it, so they could only continue to hurry as he said, and lived in a town outside the city, which was also next to the post station.

Wu Lun chose the best inn, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest. Lao Liao Tou and his wife have one, Wu Lun and his wife have one, Zhao Tian and her daughter have one, and Liu Jizu and Xiao Hei have one. Originally, the owner of the store did not agree to the dog to live in, but Wu Lun promised to give an extra fifty yuan, and the owner agreed, repeatedly emphasizing that the dog could not urinate in the room, so he let Xiao Hei in.

Liu Jizu lived alone for the first time, although Xiao Hei was beside him, but Xiao Hei was already old and lacked energy, licked Liu Jizu a few times, turned around a few times on his mat and fell asleep, and snored.

After Liu Jizu finished washing, he only took off his outer clothes, revealing the inner armor, arm guards and treasure bag inside. He lay alone in bed, his thoughts ebbing and flowing. He thought that he had finally left the small mountain village where he had lived for sixteen years and entered the rivers and lakes of his dreams. However, this river and lake does not seem to be the same as what he saw in the book in his previous life, how can he live a good life in such a world of rivers and lakes? Mr. Tian said that troubled times are coming, and in the near future, will his prophecy come true? What will troubled times look like? Although he has read a lot of books and watched many film and television works, he has not personally experienced any troubled times and cannot understand them deeply. But he still hoped from the bottom of his heart that Mr. Tian had guessed wrong, and that it was best never to come in troubled times, at least not when he was alive! With such a thought, Liu Jizu fell into a deep sleep.

Almost at the same time that Liu Jizu left Dingxiang County, the situation of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty also underwent drastic changes. Emperor Jiahe died suddenly, and the situation in the capital changed abruptly, but the heir to the throne was not determined. It's just that because the news is blocked, it is still unknown outside the imperial city, so everything in Da Zhou seems to be as usual.

Outside the northern fortress, a sharp-eyed, bloodied man was riding on a horse, watching his soldiers collect arrows and trophies on the battlefield with no expression. He was called the Eagle of the Prairie by his proponents, and after this war, he had unified the entire eastern half of the steppe. He looked to the south with a deep gaze, took a deep breath, shook his head, and looked to the west again.

In the port of Quanzhou on the southeast coast, several large ships came. For the prosperous port of Quanzhou, this was nothing, but it was strange that there was a group of people standing on the deck of the first ship. An experienced city official at the port terminal could tell at a glance that these people were not from the same region, because their skin color, hair color, and clothing were different. At first, he wondered, "How can these people from different regions get together?" Hmph! Whatever, it's my business, as long as they pay taxes according to the regulations. I'm going to have to look it up, maybe I'll find a way to make some money!"
