"Are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Sheng took the baggage and asked in a low voice.

"Without further delay, let's go early. There may be chaos in the city for a while, but don't worry, I've already taken care of everything."

Lu Quan'an gave Lu Sheng a reassuring smile.

Lu Sheng nodded and didn't waste any time. He took Liao Qiao with him, packed a few clothes, then quietly got into the carriage through the side door and left.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Sheng looked through a crack at Lu Mansion, which was gradually moving away.

There is always an inexplicable heaviness in my heart.

"Master, do you really want to go to Yanshan City? It's so far. When can we get back?"

Xiaoqiao said worriedly.

Lu Sheng smiled and didn't reply.

The black carriage was similar to the carriages on other streets around it, and it looked shabby and old.

There are no road signs on the car either.

Along the way, it left the central area of ​​the city and headed towards the main gate. The carriage was stopped and questioned several times by patrolling guards passing by.

Lu Sheng opened the car curtain and saw groups of city guards outside divided into many small teams, with many temporarily organized peasant and soldier teams patrolling the streets.

He glanced out the window at a pointed building passing by.

Snap.

Suddenly Lu Sheng reached out and clapped his palm.

The carriage immediately turned left and entered a relatively narrow street.

The speed of the car also slowed down a lot and it soon stopped.

Lu Sheng grabbed Xiaoqiao, opened the car curtain and walked out.

"Brother Sheng, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Zheng Xiangui's chubby face appeared in front of the two of them.

"Eh!?"

Xiaoqiao was immediately surprised.

"Let's go. This is not the place to talk. I've already prepared the place you want."

Zheng Xiangui said in a low voice.

The carriage slowly drove out of the small street again.

Lu Sheng and Xiaoqiao got another carriage on this small street and drove slowly out of the city.

After leaving the city, we were at the foot of a rocky mountain a few miles away from Heifeng Ridge.

There is a small green forest with the sound of a small stream in it.

The carriage stopped in front of this small forest.

Zheng Xiangui got out of the car first and looked around.

"This is it. I spent money to build a secret stronghold when I was a kid. I'll give it to you for the time being."

Lu Sheng got off the car with Xiaoqiao.

"Thanks, Fatty."

"You and I, brothers, why are you talking about this?"

Zheng Xiangui said seriously.

"Many places around here are deserted. The nearest place is a village owned by my Zheng family. I have made arrangements to bring some food to the woods every day and place it outside the yard of the cabin.

Get it yourself."

Lu Sheng nodded.

Zheng Xiangui said again.

"Be careful. This place is not far from Heifeng Ridge. Although the pipeline is guarded by officers and soldiers, there won't be any big problems, but occasionally wild wolves and lynxes will come around."

"Don't worry. Remember to inform me of any news in the city at any time, or you can send it over with the food."

Lu Sheng warned.

"good."

The three of them walked all the way into the woods, and after going a few dozen meters deep, they saw a silver-ribbon-like stream flowing down the rocky mountain wall.

The creek forms a beautiful, crystal clear water among the grass and rocks between the woods.

The forest was chirping, and there were many birds of all kinds. There were almost no traces of human activity on the trees or on the grass.

Lu Sheng crossed the stream and saw an exquisite wooden house deep inside near the mountain wall.

White wood is piled up one by one, like building blocks to build this simple-looking white wooden house.

There is also a small garden beside the hut.

"I'll send you here."

Zheng Xiangui whispered.

He also has two personal guards, both of whom he has trained since childhood and are absolutely loyal. He is not worried that they will tell anyone.

"Thank you for your hard work this time. You can go back and continue working."

Lu Sheng nodded.

Zheng Xiangui also hurriedly left with a group of people.

Lu Sheng began to ask Xiaoqiao to clean up the cabin.

There are grains, dried meat, and some fresh fruits and vegetables in the wooden house. They were obviously just brought there.

"Sir, are we going to live here forever? Are we not going to Yanshan City?"

Xiaoqiao still has some doubts.

"I still have to go, but that will be later. I will stay here for now."

Lu Sheng answered a few words casually.

The two of them tidied up the house until the afternoon, and it was getting dark.

Xiaoqiao lit the oil lamp.

The dim yellow light made the dark wooden house look lonely and dim.

Lu Sheng stood in the yard, looking up at the sky.

The sky was gloomy and dark, the moon and stars were covered, and no light could be seen.

The light from the oil lamp in the house emitted a ray of yellow light, which shone in the yard.

This yard became the brightest place in the entire forest.

Lu Sheng stood in the courtyard and looked out through the fence.

It was dark in the woods, and from time to time there were unknown sounds moving around and passing by.

Lu Sheng held the knife hanging at his waist with his backhand.

Zheng Xiangui wanted to arrange guards for him, but he refused.

The less people know about him living here, the better.

Looking at the invisible trees outside the yard, Lu Sheng closed the wooden door of the yard and turned to close the window of the wooden house.

The windows have two layers, with paper window paper on the inside and a thick hard wood solid window on the outside as a barrier.

Lu Sheng closed the wooden window outside, and the light inside could only be seen through the slightest crack.

He opened the door and entered the house.

Xiaoqiao is making the bed.

There is only one bed in the house, which is covered with a lot of wood chips and dry straw, and then a mat is spread on top, followed by cotton pads and the like.

"Sir..."

Her small eyes were watery and her cheeks were red with embarrassment.

"If you want to rest, let Xiaoqiao warm you up first."

"..." Lu Sheng was speechless. "There is a small bed in the back, you can just go and sleep on it yourself."

Xiaoqiao looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, which really made him feel guilty.

"Okay..." Xiaoqiao was immediately ashamed.

In this wilderness, she and the young master were the only two people together, and they were still in such a small wooden house.
