Ah, sothing’s not right!
Even without Pei Zhan, Fu Zhen is still my boss, and I actually let her get injured right under my nose!
Damnit!
"It’s nothing, just a scratch on the leg." Fu Zhen’s mind wasn’t on herself at all. She supported herself on Cheng Chili’s shoulder to stand up and quickly looked at the bun shop behind him: "Where did those few people go?!"
In such a critical mont just now, who had the ti to pay attention to those few people?
Cheng Chili imdiately turned to look, only to find that the three people were nowhere to be seen.
His heart was filled with panic, and he imdiately stood up: "They definitely have ill intentions! Quickly track them down!"
Upon his command, the guards imdiately dispersed to search.
Fu Zhen stood up again and said, "They’re prepared. How can you catch them so easily? Quickly send soone to tell Zhan Er, and describe the appearances of those three people to him in detail, then closely monitor all the outsiders discovered last night!"
Cheng Chili did as told, then looked at her injured leg: "What are you going to do now? You must return ho imdiately to see a doctor!"
"Find a carriage for to stay in, and then you imdiately lead people to chase westward! They’re definitely heading west!"
Fu Zhen pointed in the opposite direction of the burning rice shop and gave her order without hesitation.
None of this was a coincidence. After those three people appeared earlier, the street’s rice shop caught fire. When she ran out upon hearing the news, horses suddenly charged at her.
Setting fire to the rice shop at this ti could allow them to take advantage of the chaos to move the grain and draw Pei Zhan and the others away.
After Fu Zhen appeared in Camp Town, Lian Rong would have definitely known she had followed. Having crossed paths with Xu Yin for so long, Lian Rong would have so understanding of her.
At this mont, anyone speaking with a foreign accent appearing before Fu Zhen would definitely catch her attention.
Injuring her during her stop would also delay Cheng Chili and those around him.
In such chaotic turmoil, their chance to escape arrived!
The rice shop was at the east end, currently the most chaotic place and the easiest to slip through, yet also where Capital Camp soldiers were most concentrated.
Conversely, on the other side, while everyone was busy putting out the fire, there was surely a lapse, increasing their chances of escape!
Cheng Chili looked at both sides and said, "Heading west is the route to the capital city. Are you saying they will head into the capital?"
The nearest carriage had arrived, and Fu Zhen decisively walked over: "Isn’t their aim still within the capital city? Don’t forget how they were watching Tie Ying. Since they’re bound to enter the city for business, why wouldn’t they do it now?"
Cheng Chili agreed, quickly catching up to ask, "Will you be alright on your own?"
"What’s there that I can’t handle!" Fu Zhen chided his hesitation, "Hurry up and chase them! If you lose them, don’t call boss anymore!"
Cheng Chili fell silent and imdiately mounted a horse, leading his n to chase westward!
Fu Zhen didn’t linger either. After getting on the carriage, she quickly instructed the guard to drive towards the west.
The street’s chaos gradually dissipated, while in the noodle shop across the street, two n dressed as hunters were still watching the scene.
The tall man on the left said, "That’s her?"
The wiry man on the right nodded, "Yes, that’s her."
The man on the left took a deep breath and said slowly, "Truly impressive."
...
The town was different from the capital; when sothing went wrong, there were many routes for dispersal and escape.
Yet despite this, under the Great Zhou soldiers’ tight blockade, Lian Rong, along with six others, still had to put in a great deal of effort to break through.
Utilizing the village’s river, they subrged and swam a distance until they saw the blazing town was three miles behind them, and only then did so of them erge from the water.
In the woods, they opened oilcloth-wrapped bundles, took out dry clothes to change into, and wrapped their wet hair with towels, appearing indistinguishable from the common folk around.
"My portrait is posted all over the city. You must be alert and find ways to cover for ."
Lian Rong sared so ash on his face, scanning the six n in front of him.
Having coordinated their plan, they divided into three groups and set out on the highway.
Lian Rong had no issue with his accent; having lived in the capital city with Xu Yin for seven years, pretending to be a local was easy.
The headache was that it was still over twenty miles to the capital, and walking left them at constant risk of being tracked down.
Fortunately, there was a village nearby, and arranging for two or three donkey carts wouldn’t be a difficult task.
