Divorced woman with child travels through time
Chapter 445 Chase
"Come on! Follow me to see Eunuch Wan!" Xi Lu hurriedly climbed off the bed, almost falling over.
The two hurriedly arrived at Wan Changlu's courtyard.
"Eunuch Wan! Something terrible has happened!" It was the same old routine.
Wan Changlu also calmly cursed, "What's the rush? I have connections. Speak slowly!"
"Xiao Xizi, you speak!" Xilu pushed Xiyou away. "Tell your father-in-law about the matter properly."
"Sigh!" He likes to tell you everything he sees on the street, down to the last detail.
"What did you say? Young Master Chen is dead?" Wan Changlu stared in disbelief. He grabbed Huanxi by the collar and said, "Impossible! How could he be dead? Who did it?"
She rolled her eyes inwardly and repeated what she had just said.
"He is dead, shot by General Wang's son. His father is also dead, shot by General Wang."
"Dead, all dead... How is this possible? Wang Erniu, a mere scoundrel, how could he be so audacious..." Wan Changlu muttered to himself, somewhat incredulous.
Xi Lu hurriedly crawled to his side on her knees, hugged his leg and shook it, "Father-in-law, don't think about it anymore, let's run! This Wang Erniu is too audacious, he's gone mad. He's already purged the canal gangs, we'll be next."
"Yes, yes, yes... Run! We have to run!" Wan Changlu suddenly realized, "Prepare the carriage, pack our belongings, and let's go now, quick!"
"Alright! Little Xizi, go find a carriage, and hurry up." Xilu also got up; he had saved up quite a bit of money, and he had to take it all.
"No, one isn't enough, we need two." Wan Changlu stopped rummaging through drawers and pointed at Huanxiang, saying, "Two! Go quickly!"
Like paused for a moment, then said, "Okay!"
The three of them went their separate ways.
Once everyone left, Wan Changlu flipped up the mattress on the bed, pressed down on a hidden compartment under the pillow, and the bed board immediately slid open to reveal a hidden compartment against the wall. He pushed it, and the compartment opened directly, revealing two small boxes inside. Wan Changlu hesitated for a moment, then took only one and left the other.
After restoring everything to its original state, he went back to the cabinet, opened the door, and waited.
Before long, Xilu and Xihuan arrived, each carrying a bundle, followed by several thugs.
"Come on, carry those two boxes, one for the carriage and one for the people," Wan Changlu commanded, his eyes giving a meaningful look to the group of people, each with their own agenda.
"Xilu and Xihuan, you two will go first in one carriage to the capital. I will follow shortly. We will split into two groups. Remember, you must keep the carriage curtains down and not open them. We cannot let anyone recognize us, understand?"
"Yes, sir!" everyone responded in unison.
I liked watching Xilu, but didn't say anything.
"Once we reach the capital, we'll be safe. After all, my godfather is someone who's close to the emperor." Wan Changlu smiled smugly. "You do your job well, and I won't treat you unfairly. You'll have many good days ahead." He patted the box again, making a pointed remark.
The crowd's eyes gleamed, and they cheerfully helped carry the things into the car.
In the shadows outside.
The two shadowy figures whispered to each other, "They're going to get away! What do we do?"
"Let them run. First-year student said we'll follow behind and just give a signal. There will be someone to meet us up ahead."
What if they run away?
"They can't escape, they'll be dealt with." He spoke in a cold, casual tone.
"But, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" The man codenamed Qi Twelve was a novice and hesitated slightly.
"Don't be afraid. We are doing this for the people. You should know how many people this beast has harmed." A hint of anger flashed across Qi Wu's calm face, but it quickly disappeared. He said seriously, "You need to understand that if you are soft-hearted towards them, you will only harm the people."
Qi Shier looked at the impartial Qi Wu and said with a hint of shame, "I know, I won't do it again next time."
"Okay, stop thinking about it, follow me!" Qi Wu pulled back his mask, quickly climbed over the wall and went out. The two ran for about ten meters and came to a courtyard. A woman opened the back door, and the two men led their horses and followed the two carriages slowly from a distance.
The night was dark, and somehow the people in the carriage bribed the city gate official, who then let them out of the city.
"Brother, what do we do if they have two cars?" Qi Shier asked again.
“We’ll follow the second car. There are people following the first car outside, so we don’t need to worry about them.” Qi Wu showed the gatekeeper the sign, and he immediately let them through.
They left the city. Qi Twelve looked at the tall city gate and asked softly, "Brother, are the gatekeepers also among our men?"
“They belong to the Jiang family, but they are on good terms with our general, so they can be considered family,” Qi Wu said in a deep voice.
"There are people outside the city too. How many of us are there?" Qi Shier asked instinctively, startled.
"Don't ask about these things. When you're in my position and mentoring new people, you'll know everything you need to know," Qi Wu interrupted him.
"Oh..." Qi Shier was secretly delighted. It seemed that he had really chosen the right person this time. Doing what he liked, he would be a great hero from now on, a great hero with a powerful background and a legitimate reputation, haha.
Qi Shier smiled crookedly, almost making a sound.
Qi Wu glanced at him, who was trying not to laugh, and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile as well. The fast horse followed the gradually sinking gray clouds ahead.
Twenty miles outside the city, Ah Xing looked at a dark shadow in a tree and felt a little worried.
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves grew closer and closer.
"Thump thump..." "Bang!" Suddenly, the carriage sank into the pit and hit a wooden stick at the bottom.
With a "crack!" before the coachman could even utter a "whoosh," the entire axle broke off in the ditch, the carriage lurched and tilted halfway, then fell to the ground and lay motionless.
"Oh dear..."
"It hurts like hell, my leg is broken."
"Help me, you're crushing me!"
Several people inside the carriage were shouting for help and creating chaos.
"I'm going now, my wife. Be careful when you climb down the tree later," Ah Xing said in a worried whisper.
"Oh, I know, stop nagging and get this over with quickly. I want to hurry to the manor to eat stewed meat." Ah Yue leaned against the tree, enjoying the sachet.
"Alright, alright, I'll be quick." Ah Xing shook his head. Ever since his wife got pregnant, she'd been just like him, craving Chen Ji's meat every day.
Inside the carriage, Xilu was a shrewd man. He pulled Xiyou to sit outside, even though it was a bit windy and cold. He didn't trust these people. Sure enough, when trouble broke out, everyone wanted to run out, but they were all held back by the layers of people.
"Eunuch Lu, you go first!" He liked to push open the carriage door with difficulty and move to the right.
"Okay!" Xilu pulled her legs up and instinctively crawled out.
After going out, he put the bundle on his shoulder and went to pull Xihuan.
I was so touched and about to climb out when I realized my leg was being held back.
"What are you doing?" the two asked in unison.
"Save my brother first!" the thug who was pinned down said maliciously.
