At this moment, Guozi suddenly opened his arms and hugged one of the clerks with all his might, shouting, "Sir, run!"
Li Mofu was stunned for a second, and when he was at a loss, another person rushed in. He first drew out his sword and stabbed it into the chest of the clerk who was hugged by Guozi, and then turned around and stabbed the other clerk with a knife.
"Let's go!" Mo Yi said angrily.
"Mo Yi!" Li Mofu shouted in surprise and astonishment.
"Let's go!" Mo Yi frowned and said fiercely.
Li Mofu and Guozi quickly followed Mo Yi and ran into the mountains. The petty officials behind them chased them relentlessly for a long distance.
"Stop chasing! We are too few in number and not enough to patrol the mountains. Now that we have caught an important man, we should go back and guard him. Don't let anyone intercept him again!" The bailiff was out of breath after chasing and really didn't want to run into the mountains anymore.
"First, lock up this lady from the Marquis' Mansion in the yamen. Don't use violence, and don't put her in jail. Tie her hands and let her stay in the side room until the county magistrate decides."
"Why? Wouldn't it be safer in jail?"
"You're stupid! She's the daughter-in-law of Marquis Wu'an, and her father is the Minister of Revenue. Do you intend to shoulder this responsibility yourself without the order from the county magistrate?"
"......oh......"
Not far from them, in a pile of weeds at the bottom of the slope, Li Mofu and the other two, who were exhausted from running, were hiding there.
Li Mofu tried hard to slow down his breathing so as not to make it too obvious in the quiet night. His legs were exhausted, and coupled with the jump from the upstairs, his thighs were twitching. If he wasn't afraid of death, he would have knelt down long ago.
Li Mofu waited until the group left and walked away before he leaned against the grass and opened his eyes to breathe. "What on earth is going on? Why did a fire suddenly break out and why are we surrounded?"
Mo Yi's face turned pale. He clutched his stomach and said, "We've been targeted for a long time. Those people didn't want us to leave at all. I was ambushed as soon as I arrived at the horse sales place this afternoon. After I escaped, they kept chasing me. I finally got away from them and came back to see that the inn had been burned down."
Li Mofu pursed his lips and asked, "Wang Ruiyan was really arrested?"
"...it's almost certain what they say." Mo Yi said.
Guozi asked with tears in her eyes, "There are so many of us and we are the only ones left... What should we do now?"
"This place is not far from Jiangnan. I'll take you there first." Mo Yi said, standing up from the haystack.
Li Mofu also walked out of the weeds, "...Are you just going to abandon Wang Ruiyan like that?"
"Madam will be fine. These people won't dare to do anything to her." Mo Yi said.
"What about when we return to the capital?" Li Mofu raised his eyes and looked at Mo Yi.
"....." Mo Yi was silent.
Li Mofu thought of the cat he left at the inn, the dead Madam Liang, and the possibility that Wang Ruiyan might be killed by the new emperor. He suddenly felt aggrieved and angry. "We three grown men just left a pregnant woman there?!"
Guozi's mouth was tightly clenched, and tears were already welling up in his eyes.
"...Mr. Li, there are only three of us. We can only get help if we go to Jiangnan. Besides, the young master told me to protect you to Jiangnan before he left." Mo Yi closed his eyes and said.
“Actually, I can…”
Li Mofu frowned and touched his neck while speaking, and then found that the transformation bead was gone.
"Young Master..." Guozi saw that Li Mofu's voice suddenly stopped, and turned around to see him standing there in a daze.
"Mr. Li, what's wrong with you?" Mo Yi asked with a frown.
Li Mofu gently touched the bloody line on his neck. The running just now had torn the wound, but he didn't feel any pain because of the surge of adrenaline. It was not until he stopped that he felt the pain in his neck, but he had always thought that it was the Transformation Pearl that ran to his back and pulled his neck.
did not expect......
I didn't expect the Transformation Bead to have fallen off...
