After resting one night at the village chief's house, Qingyu and his party of six continued to set off along the path early the next morning.
However, on the fourth day of their journey, they were blocked by a fence on the road. A shed was set up on the other side of the fence, and someone could vaguely be seen inside.
Zhufeng stepped forward and asked, and it turned out that in order to prevent the plague from spreading into the city, the governor of Yinzhou ordered that all people going to Yinzhou must go to the main road for inspection.
Qingyu's family was naturally not afraid of inspections or anything like that, but Chu Mu's face, which was blackened by the ash from the bottom of the pot, became even darker.
Qingyu saw this and secretly took out a silver ingot and handed it to Zhufeng.
Zhufeng was surprised and glanced at Chu Mu, a little unhappy, but he still turned to talk to the poor man, but soon he came back, shrugged and said: "They don't want it, so we have to take the high road."
The silver was handed to Qingyu.
Several people's eyes fell on Chu Mu.
Chu Mu didn't care if it was unexpected or not, he handed over his hands and said: "I have other things to do, you guys go first. Thank you for taking care of me these days. If I have the opportunity in the future, Chu will definitely repay the kindness of helping me."
Qingyu looked at the yamen officer on duty, "He is also doing his job wholeheartedly, and he shouldn't be implicated by you. Besides, if you kill him and escape, your whereabouts will be exposed, and how will you be able to return home."
Chu Mu's heart was hit hard, and he looked at the girl who was less than his waist height with some disbelief. Could this person be the roundworm in his belly, actually knew what he wanted to do.
But even if his thoughts were exposed, he had nothing to feel guilty about. He had a huge responsibility on his shoulders. He had killed countless people while escaping here, so how could he care about a small government servant.
Qingyu seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said calmly: "Follow us to the main road first, and then I will have a way for you to get through the pass safely."
Chu Mu was shocked again. What could this girl do at such a young age? Did their family still have a backer?
"Do you really have a way?" Chu Mu had to question, he did not allow himself to have the slightest risk of being caught.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but if you really want to kill that person and escape, then I can only give up on you." Qingyu looked at him lightly, but there was an undoubted fierceness hidden in her calm eyes.
Chu Mu's heart tightened. He knew that these words were definitely not meant to scare him. He subconsciously looked at Wen Ya, who was indeed staring at him coldly.
"I believe that if you can really help me get out of seclusion smoothly, I, Chu Mu, promise that one day I will comply with your request, no matter what."
...
The group of people got on the main road, and after walking a few miles, they saw checkpoints set up on the road, and everyone passing by would be carefully checked.
Maybe there were a lot of people killed in the rear, so there weren't too many people on this stretch of road. Qingyu and the others stepped forward to line up, and happened to hear the people in front complain:
"I heard that there is a checkpoint every ten miles, and this is the first one. The checks become stricter as you proceed. I heard that you even have to take off your clothes to check."
"Ah? What kind of rule is this? Checking for plague shouldn't be so scary, right?"
"Who knows? Hey, I haven't experienced anything along the way. If he can let me enter the city, it doesn't matter how he wants to check me."
Chu Mu was the last one in line, but he listened to all these words.
His eyes fell on Qingyu, his mind swinging like a pendulum, believe it or not?! Bet or not?! Do they really have a way?
He stayed up until dark in such anxiety. It wasn't until the government official in charge of releasing the goods got off work that Qingyu's family sat on the floor and prepared to light a fire to cook.
Although Chu Mu was anxious in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. Just like the previous few days, he and Qingyu's family cooked dinner together, had a full meal, and then went to rest.
Late at night, Chu Mu closed his eyes and fell asleep. Suddenly someone tapped his shoulder. He opened his eyes and saw that it was the little girl. "What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice, and was about to sit up, but was stopped by Qing Yu.
Press and hold.
Qingyu casually put a talisman on him and then asked him to sit up. "This invisibility talisman can only last for twelve hours. You only have one day. Whether you can escape or not depends entirely on you."
Invisibility talisman? Chu Mu finally couldn't hide his surprise. He knew that there was a person who could draw the talisman. He had seen the invisibility talisman when he was young, but that person was unparalleled. How could anyone else in the world have such an ability?
While he was surprised, he did not waste any time and cupped his hands, saying, "Today's great kindness will be repaid in the future." Then he stood up and ran forward.
The night was very dark, and no one noticed that there was one missing person here, except Qingyu's family.
Several people sat around Qing Yu, Hong Tao was very reluctant to leave, "Junior sister, an invisibility charm is so cheap. Boy, aren't our charms limited? Why are you so generous this time?" Isn't it possible?
The eyes are following the facial features, Hong Tao secretly thought to herself.
Zhufeng counted on his fingers, "We have used a total of... one amulet in Bailin Village, then another one in Bailin Village, one in Chengyang County to call rain, one in the past few days, and one today.
I used five invisibility charms."
"Is this person really worth it?" Wen Ya couldn't help but ask: "At first glance, he seems to be dishonest. He must have had many evil ideas along the way."
Seeing Qingyu's faint smile, Shi'an knew that she was trying to sell her off again, so he said: "The head junior sister never does business at a loss. I believe this invisibility charm will be worth a lot in the future."
Qingyu smiled slightly, "A charm can exchange for a lifetime of peace. This is a very good deal.
This son is destined to stand on the throne, and his appearance will affect the entire continent. Within ten years at the latest, the world's strife will end because of him."
After listening to this, several people were speechless. Hongtao paused and asked in a low voice: "Junior sister, headmaster, how much has your cultivation level recovered now?"
"I can draw high-quality peace charms." Qingyu picked up a small branch from the ground, turned her wrist, and made a smooth stroke. A shining golden peace charm appeared on the ground. She smiled and pointed at the buzzing things around her.
mosquitoes, "You don't have to feed the mosquitoes tonight."
Isn't this because Chengdu has not recovered yet?! Hong Tao frowned in disappointment. The master's sister's skills in spells were unparalleled. In the past, she could climb mountains and fill seas with just a few gestures. Now she can only repel mosquitoes...
Shi'an understands very well: "The true energy of the human world is not as strong as that of the upper world, and it may be difficult to recover significantly in the short term."
Hong Tao is becoming more and more disappointed. It seems that her wish to dominate the world will not be realized in the short term.
The next day, after waiting in line for an hour, they finally passed the first checkpoint. The Qingyu family accelerated their pace, passing many people along the way, and passed the second checkpoint that afternoon.
At such speed, the family finally passed the five checkpoints on the third day. Although they were searched five times along the way, including their face, hair, and fingernails, they finally arrived in Yinzhou City smoothly.
The escape journey that lasted for nearly half a year finally ended at this moment, and Qingyu's family was all happy.
Compared with their happiness, Zhou Mu Cao Shen looked disappointed and frustrated at this time.
"After so much effort and the death of so many innocent people, this gangster was still not caught. How can I deal with the Prime Minister?
What he stole was the border defense map of the entire Great Xia, what should we do, what should we do?"
"Sir... there is one more thing. The He family sent someone to deliver a message, saying that the plague in Ruzhuang has stopped."
Cao Shen sighed: "Stop it, just stop it. It's useless to let the plague spread any longer."
"But the problem is that the He family didn't know about this. They heard that a charlatan cured him. The man randomly prescribed a prescription, and the dying patient actually improved. Now it's being spread...
..."
"What are you passing on?" Cao Shen was impatient.
"It's been said... that they deliberately ignored the plague."
Cao Shen frowned, thought for a moment, and said coldly: "Let the He family take the blame."
