However, if you missed it, you missed it. Even if Zhang Qian frantically led people to search the area later, he could not find Hongshi, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
The capital was under martial law for ten days, and searches were conducted day and night, but Hong Shi's hiding place was never found. After Zhang Qian's mistake, no one found any trace of them again.
However, Hongshi and Dark Eagle were not at ease. They evaded the pursuers everywhere, and finally broke into a private house, where they temporarily settled down. In order to prevent the people in the house from leaking the secret, Dark Eagle had them kidnapped.
They threw their hands and feet into the firewood shed. Because this house had been searched before, they were lucky enough not to be discovered while hiding here.
Ten years later, considering the impact of the city gates being closed for too long, Yinzhen ordered the nine gates to be reopened. However, the number of officers and soldiers guarding the city was several times greater than before. Everyone who left the city had to be closely searched to ensure their safety.
He left the capital during the anti-pandemic period, and there were still officers and soldiers searching everywhere in the capital.
After hearing the news from Dark Eagle, Hongshi sneered and said, "My good Ama really misses me so much that I must be captured."
"Your Majesty, the city gate is now heavily guarded. Even if you disguise yourself, you may not be able to leave. Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, in my opinion, we should stay here for a while and wait for the guards to relax before leaving."
Hongshi shook his head and said: "We can't stay any longer. Those officers and soldiers will definitely go back to search after they find that they can't find me. Once they find this place, we may not be able to escape like last time."
Dark Eagle frowned and said: "This servant also understands, but it is too dangerous to leave the city now. In addition...after leaving the city, I don't know where to protect the prince. Once you are not found in the capital, the Ministry of Punishment will definitely send you to the sea."
Arrest document."
Hongshi said coldly: "I know this, so I have already thought of a place to go. No one will pursue me there."
Dark Eagle perked up and said, "I wonder where the prince is talking about?"
Hongshi smiled sinisterly and said: "Do you still remember that I asked Dark Falcon to assassinate Prince Guo?" After Dark Eagle nodded, he continued: "It is precisely because of this incident that Zhun Geer escaped the genocide.
Woe, speaking of it, Galdan still owes me a favor."
Hearing this, Dark Eagle didn't understand why, "The prince wants to go to Zhun Geer? But Galdan is a sinister person, so he may not accept the prince's love. The prince may be in danger of his life."
"I know, but I still have a card in my hand called Galdan which I will never dare to touch, so it is safest to go to Galdan."
Seeing what he said, Dark Eagle stopped talking and said, "But how are we going to get out of the city?"
Hongshi already had an idea in his mind. He endured the slight pain in his back and said a few words in Dark Eagle's ear. After Dark Eagle wrote them down one by one, he said, "Go down and prepare. The sooner the better."
Two days later, a group of people wearing mourning clothes and wearing white cloths on their heads carried a coffin to the city gate. These people were naturally the Dark Eagles and others, and Hongshi was lying in the coffin.
Burying in a coffin to avoid being sent out of the city was Hongshi's idea. After all, no matter how tight the guards were, no one would open the coffin to see the dead body, so it should be safe to lie in the coffin.
"Stop!" Following the guard's words, Dark Eagle and others stopped. The guard came over and looked at them and said, "Who is in the coffin?"
Dark Eagle quickly raised his hands and said: "If I go back to the official, it was my younger brother who died. He was seriously ill a few days ago. He saw many doctors but couldn't get any better. He died the night before. Thinking that he died at such a young age, I feel really sad.
So sad,
Alas." Dark Eagle pretended to wipe away tears and said: "But people cannot be resurrected after death. The only thing my brother can do is to let him bury him in peace. Isn't this a rush to leave the city for burial? I hope the official can do it for his convenience.
Let me wait until we get out of the city."
The guard nodded, looked around them, and said, "Open the coffin."
Dark Eagle was suddenly startled. This was what he was most worried about. Unexpectedly, he actually encountered it. Dark Eagle apologized and said with a smile: "Master, I'm afraid this is not good, the coffin has already been sealed."
The guard glanced at him sideways and said, "There is an order from above. Anyone who leaves the city must be carefully searched and no one is allowed to be misplaced to prevent the criminals being pursued from escaping from the city."
"The official is joking. What's in the coffin is the villain's brother. Who is the prisoner? The villain has always been a law-abiding person for generations and has never done anything bad." As he said that, he stuffed a small amount into the guard's hand.
He held a piece of silver and said softly: "Master, please."
No matter where you go, money is a good thing, especially for an official with a meager income like the city gate guard. The guard weighed the considerable amount of silver, nodded and said: "Looking at you, then okay, I will
I'll be a little more accommodating and let you leave after just one look."
"But the lid of this coffin has been sealed." Facing Dark Eagle's words, the guard said, "Pry it open again after it's sealed, and then seal it again after I've seen it."
Seeing Dark Eagle's face darken, he smiled coldly and said, "Don't be dissatisfied, I'm already very accommodating just by looking at you. If it weren't for the sake of you still being on the road, it wouldn't be that simple."
"Yes, what the official said is true." Dark Eagle cursed in his heart, but had to obey his words and had someone pull out the coffin. Just as the nails were being pulled out one after another, Dark Eagle suddenly said: "Master Guan
,Do you...really want to see it?
?To tell you the truth, the villain’s brother died of smallpox. The doctor said that even if a person dies, he must prevent infection, so he must use a good coffin for burial. Otherwise, the villain would not spend so much money to buy such an expensive one.
's coffin."
When he heard the word "smallpox", the guard immediately changed his color, and he and the people around him quickly took a few steps back, fearing that they would be contaminated with a little smallpox, which is a deadly thing. Seeing those people still pulling the coffin lid, he quickly said: "Okay, okay.
No need to look at it, just leave quickly and don’t block other people’s way.”
Dark Eagle was overjoyed and nodded in agreement. He turned around and told the coffin bearers to leave quickly. It wasn't until they walked out of the city gate that Dark Eagle and others found a deserted place to stop, then opened the coffin lid and released Hongshi, "
Your Majesty, we have already left the city."
Hongshi said with a serious expression: "Okay, without further ado, let's go find the horse quickly, and then go to Jungar. Only when we leave the scope of the Qing Dynasty can we be truly safe."
As he mounted his horse and left, Hongshi looked back at the looming city in the distance and said softly: "Just wait, I will definitely come back again. Yinzhen, Niu Hulu, and Hongli, you three will harm me."
At this point, in the future, I will pay back a hundred times the pain you have inflicted on me."
Now that Hongshi had left, it was naturally impossible for the officers and soldiers who were still searching the capital to find the other person. Faced with reports that the person had not been found again and again, Yinzhen scolded the Shuntian Mansion and the Infantry Yamen, but to no avail.
