Gu Jiao and Xuanyuan Qi rode together on one horse, making it inconvenient to hold the child. She was afraid a sudden brake would squish the baby into a at patty.
"Old Tang, here." Gu Jiao handed the child to Tang Yueshan.
Tang Yueshan stretched his arms straight, wishing he could keep the child as far away as possible: "Can I refuse?"
Gu Jiao raised her chin proudly and said, "No!"
Tang Yueshan glanced at Xuanyuan Qi, who was as imposing as the Ghost King of Ghost Mountain, and resignedly wrapped the child around himself.
No worries, I’m about to have a godson. My godson may not be skilled in martial arts, but he’s clever. Once I rescue him, I’ll have him deal with you little demons!
Tang Yueshan thought confidently, feeling that life was becoming beautiful!
They considered two plans for leaving the city. One was to disguise themselves as rchants or commoners to blend in, but this plan was abandoned as soon as they reached the city center.
The reason was that the city was unexpectedly under lockdown. The patrols of Jin Country’s soldiers had doubled, and the silhouette of Jin soldiers was visible on every street.
Gu Jiao pondered: Did the news from Ghost Mountain reach the City Lord’s Residence? Did they think we escaped from Ghost Mountain and reinforced the city defenses to prevent us from leaving?
In any case, if the situation is this tense, it’s almost impossible to get out through the city gate.
Then we can only implent the second plan.
"You all, wait here," Xuanyuan Qi said.
Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan nodded.
Xuanyuan Qi leaped into the night.
Approximately half an hour later, he returned carrying a large bundle, which contained three sets of warm Jin army armor, along with their talismans and identity iron plaques.
"I don’t recognize the Jin Country characters. What nas are written on these?" Gu Jiao muttered.
"Don’t look at , I don’t recognize them either," Tang Yueshan said.
Gu Jiao sat on the horse, tilting her head towards Xuanyuan Qi. Her sparkling eyes seed to say, don’t you recognize them? The erudite second Shadow Master?
Xuanyuan Qi took the iron plaques and exaggeratedly loosened his grip, letting them fall into a crack in the ground: "Oh dear, they fell."
Gu Jiao had a helpless expression.
You actually don’t recognize them, do you!
Their purpose is typically to identify bodies after battle, and they aren’t checked regularly. It doesn’t matter if they’re lost.
Additionally, Xuanyuan Qi sohow managed to acquire a small basket, just right for carrying a small baby.
But just having a small basket wasn’t enough, as newborns tend to cry whenever.
Just as Gu Jiao placed the child in the cotton-padded basket, he cried out loud.
The cry startled all three of them!
It was so loud it felt like it could lift the top of their heads!
Tang Yueshan turned pale and gritted his teeth, "Stop crying! Little ancestor! Or else you’ll bring the Jin army right to us!"
"Wah—wah—wah—"
He tightened his small fists, crying as if shaking the heavens and earth!
"Benefactor!"
Suddenly, a woman holding a lantern appeared at the alley entrance.
She walked towards Tang Yueshan with small steps, "It’s really you!"
Tang Yueshan looked bewildered.
Gu Jiao recognized her as one of the people being bullied by Jin soldiers in the alley yesterday.
Gu Jiao didn’t reveal herself at that ti, so she only recognized Tang Yueshan.
"Benefactor, you saved my young mistress, don’t you rember?" she said, looking at the infant in Tang Yueshan’s arms, "Just born?"
Gu Jiao said, "His father was killed by Jin soldiers, and his mother is evading their pursuit. We want to take him away."
"Let ." The woman handed the lantern to Tang Yueshan and reached out to take the child from Gu Jiao, "He must be hungry. My little miss is also recently born, we have a nanny at ho. Let feed him."
Gu Jiao: "Thank you."
The woman hurriedly said, "If you don’t mind, please follow ."
The group followed her into the mansion.
This was a wealthy family, but unfortunately, all the n were taken away, leaving only won and so maids and servant won living anxiously behind closed doors.
The woman carried the child to the main room, and the child’s cries ceased soon after, indicating he was being fed.
About a quarter of an hour later, the woman returned from the main room, ca to the Flower Hall, and bowed to Gu Jiao and the others. Then she said to Tang Yueshan, "Our lady is still in confinent and cannot co out to thank you personally for saving her life. But she said that if you don’t mind, you can leave the child here. Once you’re done with your matters, you can co back to get him."
The woman wasn’t foolish, and neither was the lady of the house.
