Chapter 775
The three walked south along the snow, heading towards the southern end of the north.
Zhong Xiaoyan and the others had no way to go, but Mrs. Wu made a suggestion.
Mrs. Wu said that they had a place to take shelter, just at the junction of the northern country and the Central Plains. At that time, Wu Rencai planned to go here to hide from Lu Buping. Later, he felt that the northern country was still safe, so he came to Guo Dasong's territory.
The three of them discussed for a while and then went to the place that Mrs. Wu mentioned.
Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Guo, their husbands were trapped in Qisong City. They originally did not want to leave the North Country. However, now the North Country is under the control of Lu Buping. If they were captured by Lu Buping, wouldn’t they be even more passive?
Along the way, the three of them remained vigilant and rushed to the south.
When they were about to leave the Black Wind Mansion, they hurriedly didn't take any money. Now they got some gold coins from the inn owner, and Zhong Xiaoyan bought three tall horses in the next place, and the three of them rushed south quickly.
They arrived in less than a day after more than seventy miles.
They came to the isolation point between the northern country and the Central Plains, gradually moving away from the northern country, and the atmosphere here became more and more relaxed.
In this way, they came to the place that Mrs. Wu said.
This is a manor hidden in the village.
It was originally a property of Wu Rencai, and it has always been hidden deep, and it was also reserved as his retreat.
"Mrs. Wu, I wonder if it can be safe here?" Zhong Xiaoyan was a little worried.
"It should be no problem, at least it is safer than in the northern country." Mrs. Wu said.
Sure enough, after entering the remote village, I came to the manor hidden among the trees.
The place is not too big, but it also looks like a few acres of land.
Strangely, no one has come to live here for a long time, but there is a housekeeper waiting here.
To be precise, it should be considered a gatekeeper or a servant.
He looked in his sixties, with blurred eyes and blind eyes. He didn't even recognize Mrs. Wu. It was when Mrs. Wu handed him over the jade pendant in his arms to see that he realized it.
"So you are Mrs. Wu. Please come in quickly! Please come in quickly! The place is cleaned very well and there is some food." The old servant said.
"Is the money the lord gives you enough?"
Mrs. Wu asked with a smile.
"Enough, enough! Those gold coins are still enough for several years! The things here are cheap and can't cost a lot of money." said the old servant.
So, Zhong Xiaoyan and the others found a place to stay.
The conditions here are really good, even better than those in Black Wind Mansion.
"Mrs. Wu, I never thought I could find such a good place, and it was really a blessing for you." Mrs. Guo couldn't help but feel very moved when she looked at the clean and comfortable room.
"Mrs. Guo, where is this? You took us in and saved me at this critical moment. Otherwise, I would not be able to protect my innocent body." Mrs. Wu said.
"Okay, Mrs. Wu, this is your territory. I feel relieved that my aunt is here." Zhong Xiaoyan said.
"Xiao Yan, from what you mean, where are you going? It's so messy outside now, you'd better stay here?" said Mrs. Guo.
Zhong Xiaoyan said, "Auntie, I'm just about to tell you about this! I plan to go back to the North."
"Ah? Xiaoyan, what's wrong with you? We just escaped from there, why are we going back?" Mrs. Guo was a little puzzled.
Zhong Xiaoyan said: "My cousin and Senior Brother Wu are trapped in Qisong City, I want to save them."
Zhong Xiaoyan only mentioned Guo Jingming and Wu Lang, but did not mention Guo Dasong. Zhong Xiaoyan naturally couldn't like her uncle.
But Guo Jingming and Wu Lang are different. They grew up together and practice martial arts together, and they have deep feelings.
"Xiao Yan, you can't go, so you'd better stay here." Mrs. Guo said, and stepped forward and hugged Zhong Xiaoyan tightly.
Zhong Xiaoyan leaned on Mrs. Guo's shoulder and said emotionally: "Auntie, I know it's dangerous there, but I can't convince myself, I still have to go, otherwise I will feel sorry for it."
In the end, Mrs. Guo still failed to convince Zhong Xiaoyan. Another thing is that Mrs. Guo is also thinking about her husband and son, and she also wants Zhong Xiaoyan to save them.
Zhong Xiaoyan's performance along the way also made Mrs. Guo's eyes shine. Her niece is no longer the ignorant little girl, but has become a responsible and capable person.
Zhong Xiaoyan rested here for a night. The next morning, after making arrangements, Zhong Xiaoyan hurried to the north.
Without the ties of the two ladies, Zhong Xiaoyan came with a man dressed up as a woman and rode a fast horse, which naturally made it much easier to move.
...
A few hours later, Zhong Xiaoyan passed by the small town they had lived in before, and also passed by the inn.
Zhong Xiaoyan, who was riding on the horse, changed her outfit, and no one would notice that she was a woman. Besides, she was wearing a cloak and covered herself tightly, so naturally no one paid attention.
Zhong Xiaoyan looked at the inn far away. The shopkeeper of the inn seemed to have forgotten his previous experience and continued to start attracting business quickly.
Zhong Xiaoyan saved this person's life, hoping that this person can follow the right path in the future and not do things that are harmful to the world for some money.
Zhong Xiaoyan just passed by. After eating something from a tavern next to her, she hurriedly left the town.
However, just as she left, the two diners in the tavern had been paying attention to her for a long time.
Although she was wearing a cloak to cover her face, she couldn't cover her face when she was having a meal, so when Zhong Xiaoyan showed her face, she was noticed by the two of them.
Somehow, Zhong Xiaoyan was targeted by the two of them.
As soon as Zhong Xiaoyan left the tavern, the two of them had a division of labor. One of them secretly followed behind, while the other went to inform him.
Zhong Xiaoyan left the town and continued to walk north. It was noon, and the sun was in the middle. Although the snow had not melted yet, the sunlight at noon shone on her body, which made people feel very warm.
There were not many pedestrians along the way. As Zhong Xiaoyan walked, she suddenly stopped—
"Sneaky, why don't you get out for me?" Zhong Xiaoyan didn't look back, but just threw a sentence.
"Haha, you are so awesome, you actually discovered me!"
The person who was following him smiled and stood up with great might.
