From a distance, Ping'an Town now seems to be no different from what it was before Qi Bao'er left.
There were torches burning on the city walls, and occasionally there were people in government uniforms patrolling on top holding spears.
The city was so quiet that not even a dog barked, it was very peaceful and peaceful.
The four of them hid in the forest again, squatting in a half circle and observing the direction of Ping'an Town through the gaps between the trees.
Qi Baoer had already asked Yin Zai to let the wolf return to the mountain, and also asked him to take the other two horses away with him.
It is difficult for horses to move in the mountains, but Silver is smart and strong, so the two horses can follow him without any problem.
Qi Kang'an stared at the city wall of Ping'an Town, with a flash of excitement in his eyes: "Bao'er, should we sneak in as quietly as before?"
This scene, this environment, Qi Kangan said: I miss it very much!
Twelve and Fang Qi both said: "???"
——Same as before?
Neither father nor daughter had any intention of explaining to them, they were already murmuring with their heads on their hands.
Qi Baoer said: "Dad, this time is different. Last time Sanhe Town was full of trash, but there are several masters in Ping'an Town."
His aura was so restrained that she could hardly detect it. He was either a god or a master of internal energy.
No matter what it is, she may not be able to defeat it.
It's terrible this time.
"Dad, let's go back."
Praying for good health/Twelve/Fang Qi: "????"
It's impossible to go back, it's already here.
From what Qi Bao'er saw just now, Lu Tongjuan is now only one step away from him. It would be okay if they were not so close to him, but it is unreasonable to leave now.
.
After a heated discussion, it was finally decided that Qi Baoer and Twelve would sneak in under the cover of darkness, at least hoping that they could run as fast as the other. If not, they could run away.
As for Qi Kang'an, who was not as fast as humans, and Fang Qiliang, who was now considered half a cripple. They couldn't stay where they were. They had to retreat further and hold Qi Bao'er's county chief's seal to wait for rescue.
A breeze blew across the city wall, causing the torches to sway, but it was limited to that and did not attract the attention of the patrollers at all.

Inside the yamen of Ping'an Town.
In a remote hut in the backyard, only the faint moonlight came in through the half-opened window, and the scene inside could barely be seen.
The house was very small, about five or six square meters, with no bed, no table and chairs, nothing else.
Only half of the floor was covered with hay. On the hay were layered a few layers of clothes of government servants. This was the bed.
The dignified Lord Qiliang Road from the fourth level of the main city of Yong'an City is currently staying in such a cramped and shabby place, sitting on a "bed" that is so simple that it can't be regarded as a bed, with his back leaning against the earth.
leather wall.
The moonlight just happened to shine on his face. Under the cold white moonlight, his face was so white that it was almost transparent.
His eyes, which were always full of energy, were now dull and dull.
Looking at the whole person, there is almost no trace of life.
There was no one waiting outside the hut, and there was only a man in dirty underwear kneeling with his back to the window.
"Sir, you must hold on. Didn't you say that the Lord of Anle County will definitely come?"
"You said it yourself, now no one can believe it but the Lord Anle County?"
"Sir, the Lord of Anle County is coming soon. Please don't sleep."
Tang Mingyuan's persuasive words were so numb that his head was so hungry that there was only a piece of paste left, and he didn't even know what he said.
Lu Tongpan seemed to have spent his whole life trying to forcefully open his eyes slightly. He knew in his heart who was next to him, but even if he opened his eyes to look, he could no longer see his appearance clearly.
He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't even move the corners of his mouth so easily.
Tang Mingyuan hurriedly leaned over, but the next moment, the seven-foot tall man shed more tears than the women.
Lu Tongpan said: I can't survive anymore, please leave quickly and survive.
Tang Mingyuan shook his head violently, "My lord, if I don't leave, you will be fine. You said that the county lord will come to save you. You have been gone for so long. The county lord must be here soon. My lord, hold on, the county lord must be here."
We’re here, subordinate. I’m going to pick up the county master right now. Sir, you must hold on.”
While he was talking incoherently, he remembered that he had been hungry for several days and had no energy to even stand up, but he still walked towards the door and crawled.
While crawling, he was still chanting: "I'm going to pick up the county lord right now. Did you hear it, my lord? I heard their voices welcoming the county lord. The county lord is here, sir..."
The voice became weaker and weaker, and his fingertips were less than a few inches away from the door. Starlight suddenly popped out of Tang Mingyuan's eyes, but the starlight just flashed away, only to be followed by the sound in his eyes.
The light gradually dimmed, his eyes slowly lowered, and his outstretched hand also dropped to the ground.
"Bang~"
-
Lu Qiliang thought that he was dead this time. His lungs were injured and his heart was poisoned, but no one had treated him yet.
If you pull out anything at random, your life will be ruined. When he comes, three of them will come.
The reason he was able to hold on for so many days was just because he was unwilling to do so. What he had found had not yet been presented to the emperor.
At this time, there were two voices faintly heard in my ears, one was a strong male voice, and the other was a small milky voice that sounded familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.
"County Lord, the person who controls the Yamen now is a man named Qian San. In the past, Qian San was a gangster from a village called Zhengheng Village under Ping'an Town. His parents were dead and he had no relatives to care for him. He usually stole chickens and dogs and did anything.
If you don't do it, you won't do serious things. In the village, people are disgusted with dogs.
No one knows why he is so capable and has such good skills, and he has at least two to three hundred people under his command."
"My subordinates overheard him talking to his subordinates. There are people on Qian San, and not all the people who came to town recently listened to him.
When his subordinates saw him, he was losing his temper and smashing things, and said something like, 'If it weren't for the master's great cause, they would never come back.'"
"Oh, by the way, County Lord, my subordinates also heard him mention a place called Lushan.
He was very avoidant of this place called Lushan. Qian San spilled the beans when he lost his temper, but as soon as he said the word Lushan, he immediately shut up, as if his temper had been suppressed."
Lushan?
where?
Qi Baoer made an important point in his mind on the word "Lushan".
"My master guessed it right. Jiang County Magistrate is in good condition now, at least better than Mr. Lu. He is not injured or poisoned. He is being cared for when eating and drinking. Even though he is being stared at, he cannot leave the house. There are people even going to the latrine.
Follow.
It seems that someone in Jiang County Cheng's family has fallen into the hands of Qian San, and the people who follow Jiang County Cheng will always say things like, 'Think about your family,' and 'Mr. Jiang, you don't want your family to suffer, do you?'"
This is not difficult to guess.
Jiangxian Cheng has his own little plans, but generally speaking, his nature is not bad, and he is loyal and fair as an official.
If inducements and inducements fail, the best way to make Jiang County Cheng obedient is to capture his family members and then trap them, threatening their lives.
