Such are the rumors in tea shops and restaurants, they are somewhat true, but then they become more and more outrageous.
However, Qiao Ye thinks that the two women he is looking for in Huacheng are still reliable, if the person who told the news is not bragging and has relatives who are actually working in the Demon Hall.
Looking at it this way, does it mean that he is not looking for you?
Qiao Ye first felt that no matter how capable Lin Jiao was, he would not let people close down the city and search for him. Secondly, he would not turn his portrait into a woman, right?
"wrong……"
Qiao Ye suddenly felt a thump in her heart and quickly called Lin Ziyi and Xuanyuan Beimu.
Two women...
It was really hard for Qiao Ye not to think too much, but Qiao Ye quickly received the summons, and Lin Ziyi and Xuanyuan Beimu were both safe and sound.
Lin Ziyi sent a message: "We have arrived at Longmen Pass and will arrive at Yecheng in three to five days."
Qiao Yeshe sighed, it would be better if it wasn't Xuanyuan Beimu and Lin Ziyi.
Lin Ziyi sent a message: "Where have you been?"
"Huacheng." Qiao Ye replied: "How can you be so fast?"
Lin Ziyi said: "Take the water route. After crossing the Nanjiang River, you will reach the Northland. Of course, it will be very fast. The identity given by Sikong Nan is very useful, but it is a bit troublesome to send three or four water bandits along the way. This Daqian Dynasty is really chaotic.
."
There are bandits in the mountains, water bandits in the water, and rogue cavalry bandits in the north. Qiao Ye also feels that the Daqian dynasty is about to end, and it is rotten to the core.
However, Qiao Ye had a flash of inspiration and realized, yes, he can walk by water.
Lin Jiao didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't send anyone to chase him. If this was the case, then he was a "serious person" and could travel the waterway openly.
Moreover, Hwaseong is a bit special. Although the city gate is sealed, the waterway cannot be sealed.
Huacheng is backed by the Nanjiang River and surrounded by water on three sides. There are many waterways in the city. The largest waterway runs directly across Huacheng and leads directly to the Nanjiang River.
Huacheng's water transportation is also very famous. Cargo ships coming and going directly enter Huacheng from the Nanjiang River and are transported through the city's waterways, which is very convenient.
Since the city gate doesn't let you go, you can just take the water route.
Of course, waterways should also be blocked, but compared to city gates, waterways are not so easy to block. Moreover, to make a lot of money in extraordinary times, Qiao Ye believes that those boatmen should be happy to rip off a fortune at such times.
Send people out of the city.
"Waiter, check out!"
Qiao Ye dropped a few coins, then stood up and left the restaurant.
He looked at the sky and saw that it was still early. Even if someone took the risk to send someone out by water, it couldn't be during the day. Unless he was tired of living, did he really think that the Demon Hall and the City Lord's Mansion were just decorations?
So, we have to wait until night.
Qiao Ye wandered around the city for a while, and in the evening, he came to the river pier in the city.
Sure enough, the waterway was also controlled. There were boats docked on both sides of the waterway. Obviously, entry and exit were not allowed.
but……
"Brother, are you leaving the city?"
Qiao Ye was walking along the river, and suddenly a short man came over, walked side by side with Qiao Ye, and spoke in a low voice.
Qiao Ye glanced at the other party and said, "How did you know I was leaving the city?"
"The city is closed. There are only waterways in and out." The short man said with a smile: "In the afternoon, many people came here and wanted to take a boat out of the city. As a result, they were picked up by the people from the Demon Hall and imprisoned.
It's gone."
Qiao Ye said: "Then you still dare to take the business?"
"Brother, please don't talk secretly if you are open-minded." The short man said with a smile: "Why did you come here in the evening? Because those who came in a swarm after the city was sealed are all fools, knowing full well that after the city was sealed, the Demon Hall and the Pioneer
The battalion must be keeping an eye on the waterway, but now we have caught a nest, and you will see..."
The short man said and pointed into the waterway.
"After being caught once, no one dares to come here." The short man said with a smile: "It's like a deserted coffin place. The people in the Demon Hall are not idle either. They keep staring at this place. Anyone who comes here at this time is smart.
People, and knowing that someone who came back after being caught once on the waterway must be someone who wants to leave the city."
Qiao Ye nodded and said: "I have something urgent and I have to rush to Beidi, so..."
"Brother, there is no need to explain." The short man waved his hand and said: "I am just here to solicit customers. Those who run boats are those who run boats. Where do you come from and where are you going? If you are just a passerby on the river and lake road, if you don't tell me, I won't.
Ask, it’s a one-sided relationship.”
Qiao Ye glanced at the short man in surprise. Anyone who could say this was either a smart person or an old man.
Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "What's the price?"
The short man stretched out his palm and turned it over five times, which meant five times the price.
The short man turned his palm over twice more and said, "This is the deposit."
It is normal for the price to increase several times, but people do business at the risk of going to jail.
The short man added: "Look at that boat. Let's take that boat and set off at night. I'll be right here in this area, right under your nose. You don't have to worry about me stealing your deposit and running away."
"I'm not worried about the deposit." Qiao Ye casually took out the money from his purse and threw it over and said, "Full payment."
The short man smiled and pointed his finger at his pen and said: "Bold."
"You just need to remember that no one I want to kill can escape yet." Qiao Ye said, "I will come over at nightfall."
The moment Qiao Ye finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared directly in front of the short man.
The short man was stunned when he saw that everything around him suddenly became empty. He then laughed and seemed not to care. He turned around and continued walking along the waterway, as if he was looking for new business.
On a rooftop not far away, Qiao Ye watched the short man walk away, and couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth and said: "It seems to have become interesting."
Qiao Ye dared to assert that the short man was definitely not an ordinary person. He couldn't just be a boat operator, let alone a solicitor.
However, since we have to leave the city anyway, it doesn’t matter who the other party is? As long as we can leave the city!
While thinking about it, Qiao Ye lay down directly on the roof.
What comes into view is the afterglow of the setting sun, fiery red, which looks extremely beautiful.
The scenery before darkness falls is always so beautiful.
When the sunset in the sky faded and night gradually fell, Qiao Ye slowly sat up from the roof, glanced down, and then disappeared without a trace in a flash of light.
"Hello!"
The short man was sitting by the waterway drinking a small drink, but at this moment, Qiao Ye's voice suddenly sounded from behind the short man, startling the short man.
Looking up and looking behind, the short man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Here you come? Let's get on the boat."
As the short man spoke, he stood up and walked forward.
Qiao Ye narrowed her eyes, her hands were so steady, and she hadn't even spilled a drop of wine. She looked frightened?
Qiao Ye lowered her lips and quickly followed the short man.
