Zhang Qing hid in the attic of a bun shop next to the north city gate, looking at the city gate not far away.

Lao Lu is really not exaggerating, twenty zhang is only a lot more. It's a quarter higher than the wall on the other side of the Water Gate. Moreover, the lights in front of the city gate and on the city wall are bright, and the boarding roads above and below the city wall are also guarded by soldiers, so it is impossible to quietly climb out of the wall.

It was already the fourth watch, and the city gate had been closed when Zhang Qing arrived here, so he walked along the city wall to the side. Of course, he knew that it was impossible for people to stand guard everywhere on the wall of the city that was twenty miles long, but the first wall was too high for him to see the situation above and could not determine the patrol route of the soldiers, and the gap between the masonry on the inside of the second wall was very few, so it would certainly take him a long time to climb up, and he did not dare to guarantee that he would not be discovered by the patrols in the city when he climbed.

Zhang Qing, who had no choice, had to return to the city gate, so long time had passed since he was delayed back and forth, and he was anxiously thinking about countermeasures while listening to the sound of the owner of the bun shop below shouting at the guys to hurry up and work.

He knew that the city gate was open every day at four or two o'clock, and the order to arrest him must have been able to reach the city gate at that time. This is not the Water Gate, there are more people entering the city in the morning, and there is no convoy of large goods to dodge himself, so it is difficult for a child with obvious characteristics to get out of the city.

Zhang Qing already regretted choosing the north gate a little, and now he even wanted to turn around and go to the west water gate, at least there were many boats there, maybe he could get out? But there was not enough time, not to mention that there was no shelter on the water, in case he was discovered, he didn't even want to escape from the palms of those men who were skilled in water.

Just when Zhang Qing was in a dilemma and anxious, he suddenly saw two carriages coming from the south.

。。。。。。

Qian Yue sat in the carriage with an ordinary appearance but extremely luxurious inside, but in his heart he had a trace of enthusiasm for this mission.

As the second son of Yunzhou's No. 2 person, although his martial arts qualifications are not good, his father does not attach importance to him, but this is in line with Qian Yue's wishes, coupled with his mother's affection, this kid is nearly ten years younger than his eldest brother, and he is considered a middle-aged son, so he is very arrogant. So he walked eagles and dogs every day, drank and feasted, and with his noble status, he could be said to be a universal response among the sons and brothers in Cloud City.

Father doesn't care, Qian Yue is happy, especially after Liu Liang came, because the two sides did not deal with each other, Qian Yi's spirit was used in officialdom battles, so he didn't care about this gentleman's son, and let him wander around Yunzhou to have fun.

In contrast, his eldest brother Qian Lin is much more talented than Qian Yue, he has cultivated to the Innate Quadruple Heaven at a young age, which is only one step behind their father, and he can help their father regardless of official or private affairs, he is Qian Yi's most trusted assistant, and even Qian Yi's subordinates are full of praise for this eldest prince.

But as soon as he returned from other places this time, Qian Yue was called by his father to his side and solemnly instructed him one thing. This incident is an opportunity, and Qian Yi hopes that his second son can get this opportunity. Although this second son is a little squirming, he has a flexible brain and does things in a bit of measure, if this opportunity can be achieved, he Qian Yi can cultivate a second capable son, wouldn't it be wonderful.

So Qian Yue, who had just gotten the news, had no choice but to come to the north gate before dawn, preparing to leave the city as soon as the door opened. Qian Yue, who was dozing off, suddenly felt that the carriage was slowing down, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Yuan, why did you slow down?"

A voice came from outside: "Second Young Master, it's time to the north gate, the city gate hasn't opened yet, we need to wait here for a while." ”

"Then go and call the door open, they still dare to stop our convoy?" Qian Yue looked as a matter of course. Indeed, although the entire city of Yunzhou has a strict time for opening and closing the city gates, Qian Yue, who is the son of the Yunzhou Inspector, has called the city gate open more than once at night. After all, the emperor is far away, and compared to the orders of the distant court, the son of the boss who is in charge of his boss is still much more important in the eyes of most people.

It's a pity that Qian Yuan, the old housekeeper sent by Qian Yi to take care of Qian Yue, is too senior, and he doesn't need to follow Qian Yue's orders in everything, he whispered outside: "Second young master, the master has ordered, this time the matter is very confidential, and we must not reveal our family's identity all the way, let's wait." ”

Qian Yue muttered reluctantly: "It's too early, it's too early, and my father is still urging me to leave so early, so I'm not stopped at the door." But he didn't go against the old butler's intentions, he still knew the severity, he knew the task clearly, this was indeed an opportunity to change his fate, although he was dissatisfied, but there was still a trace of desire in his heart.

In this world, there are people who are qualified to cultivate the heavens smoothly, and there will be dull people who have poor roots and no future. In fact, ordinary talents who cannot enter the world of martial arts account for the vast majority.

Qian Yue is now twenty years old, but the realm is the peak of the day after tomorrow. But he is not trapped in the day after tomorrow because he can't find good exercises like the local buns, although the martial arts he cultivates are not top-level divine skills, but they are also exercises that directly point to the outer gods. When he was born, his father was already in a high position, and the means of Pei Yuan to consolidate his foundation were also indispensable because of the medicinal bath pills.

But that's why he didn't break through the innate shackles in ten years, this is because his roots and bones are so bad, so bad that if it weren't for Qian Yi's years of cultivation, he wouldn't even be able to build a foundation.

But this time is a good opportunity, if things go well, he can change his life against the sky, and he dare not say that he has achieved an external god, but the innate is no longer an obstacle. After all, although he looks cynical, it is only because he really has no talent for martial arts. But with a capable big brother on top, he can guess what others say about him in private, and if he can slap those people in the face in the future, he is also very willing.

"Hmm, Uncle Yuan, what's so fragrant?" Qian Yue was drowsy in the car, and suddenly smelled a fragrance, and then remembered that he had gotten up too early and had no appetite when he was in the mansion just now, so he didn't eat breakfast. At this moment, I suddenly smelled a smell of meat, and I couldn't help but feel hungry in my stomach, so I asked outside.

"Back to the second young master, next to it is the famous Guo Ji steamed bun shop in our city, I think it is the first steamed bun out of the pot. Yuan Bo replied outside.

"Well, it tastes good, I'm hungry, let people buy some, Yuanbo can also eat some?" Qian Yue didn't have eaten good things, but he was tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and now when he was hungry, he suddenly found that this roadside snack seemed to be good, so it was better to try it. So he was very interested and asked Yuanbo to send someone to buy some back.

Qian Yuan agreed, and took a few servants to the steamed bun shop that had just come down the threshold, and first looked at the kitchen inside with the shopkeeper's smile, and found that it was indeed clean and tidy, so he nodded with satisfaction, and asked his subordinates to directly wrap the first pot round.

"Second Young Master, please use it. Qian Yuan neatly placed a few buns on the plate and put them on the small table in front of Qian Yue.

"Hey, it tastes good. I've lived in Cloudsdale for more than ten years, and I really didn't know there were such delicious buns. Qian Yue said to the old housekeeper with a smile while nibbling on the bun.

"Second Young Master, you grew up in the mansion, so naturally you have always been clothed and fed. But if you eat too much of the food made by those chefs, there will be a lot of folk snacks that have a lot of unique tastes, and it's good to try them once in a while. The old housekeeper looked at Qian Yue who was gobbling up with a kind smile on his face. The second young master was raised by him since he was a child, although he was a little squirming, but he has always respected him very much, so Uncle Yuan's love for the second young master cannot be faked.

"Report to the great steward, the gates of the city are opened. Suddenly, a servant came from outside to report.

Qian Yuan perked up, first signaled to Qian Yue, and then directly got out of the carriage and began to order to set off.

After a while, two carriages slowly left the city along the wide open gate, and they were not at all noticeable. Although the soldiers at the gate were very strict about the vehicles and personnel leaving the city, they had long known that Qian Yuan, who was searching for a thief in the city, had already prepared. Although you can't reveal that you are the family of the Inspector, you can still get a lot of exemption tokens. He showed a warrant from a certain yamen and went straight out of the city.

At the same time, under the carriage containing some of Qian Yue's miscellaneous belongings, Zhang Qing hung there again, and excitedly followed out of the city.
