Of course, the reason why Zhao Yun did not choose to escape was because he had figured it out.
If Brother Lu is an old friend of his master, is it not a strange thing for him to travel all over the world and have a strange woman with fierce fighting power by his side?
On the contrary, it was precisely because the other party was a woman that even though he had lived with these two people for two months, he had never been wary of Lu Lingqi. To put it bluntly, Zhao Yun had not treated Lu Qinghou for such a long time.
His defense has always been far more than his defense against Lu Lingqi.
"It seems that my practice is still insufficient. Just because the other party is a woman, I let my guard down. Such a mentality is enough to cause big mistakes in the future... Well, we must learn from this lesson."
Just as Zhao Yun was thinking this, Lu Qinghou's relieved voice finally came from beside him:
"Zilong, pack your bags and leave."
"Hmm! Are you finally leaving Wuchang?"
Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little more excited when he heard Lu Qinghou's instructions.
Ever since he sent the letter to Jiangling, he has been staying near Wuchang City, saying that he wanted to pack up his things at home. In fact, they have been avoiding the ubiquitous search team.
Somehow, it stands to reason that since no trace of him was found for two consecutive months, the Soochow soldiers should have given up long ago.
But judging from the recent intensity of searches, it would be impossible to move freely between prefectures and counties without customs clearance documents.
Not to mention that there will be a large-scale mountain search operation every morning and evening in the nearby cities.
It was as if Soochow was about to welcome a very important event. Everyone was worried and did not dare to relax.
People were coming and going, and suddenly another man in extremely simple clothes and a bamboo hat, keeping his figure low, walked straight towards Lu Qinghou. Zhao Yun subconsciously cast his eyes over there and noticed that this man was strange.
After the action, the sword at the waist has been faintly unsheathed——
But Lu Qinghou stopped him.
Zhao Yun was shocked, but found that Brother Lu had already met him.
The other party didn't talk too much, handed over three documents, plus an inconspicuous letter, and then left quietly.
"The customs clearance documents have been processed. These few small documents have cost me nearly a hundred taels of silver. It is true that Jiangdong is rich, and the method of cooperating with this group of people to make money is also unambiguous, right?"
Lu Qinghou cursed lightly, turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, and immediately explained to Zhao Yun Zhao Yun's doubts about the increased search intensity around the city in the past few days:
"But fortunately, the other party also gave me some information."
He raised the letter other than the document in his hand and waved it towards Zhao Yun, who nodded in understanding.
"Well, it turns out that sir has been preparing customs clearance documents these past few days... Yun thought..."
Zhao Yun quietly glanced at Lu Lingqi, who was still shopping madly in the distance - Lu Lingqi said that her elder brother Lu also had several sisters at home... so she not only wanted to buy rouge and gouache for herself, she also came to Soochow.
During the trip, I also shouldered the task of bringing Jiangdong specialties to my good sisters.
But until just now, Zhao Yun thought that they were staying here to wait for Lu Lingqi to buy enough rouge and gouache before setting off. It turned out that the husband had already bribed the officials without his knowledge.
In Zhao Yun's opinion, people who handle everything calmly are quite stable and trustworthy.
Of course, Yi Xiaotian didn't know that Zhao Yun had so many thoughts. He opened the letter and took out a letter with extremely crowded text. After scanning it, he nodded slowly.
"I see... Jiang Qin and Ding Feng... these two are both in Wuchang."
"What…"
Hearing Lu Qinghou's muttering voice, Zhao Yun was shocked.
"But there is nothing important. It is unlikely that they will gather in this small city. Is it possible that there is something important to prepare for?"
"gentlemen?"
Zhao Yun saw that the other party was talking to himself and gave a little reminder from the side.
"Oh...Sorry, I was a little lost in thought."
Yi Xiaotian came back to his senses, saw Zhao Yun's confused eyes, thought about what to say, and explained to Zhao Yun:
"In general, Zilong, you don't need to worry that these additional search teams are targeting you. At least for the time being... none of the officials in this city have received orders to find you."
"Huh, if that's the case, that's okay."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he knew that Lu Lingqi was very skilled and his appearance was just the icing on the cake, he had been worried that his identity would bring inconvenience to the actions of Lu Qinghou and Lu Lingqi.
.
Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary.
"Then...if it wasn't to capture me, why would the Soochow people..."
"So this is another question... I suspect that the Soochow people are preparing for something more important recently, so they have to tighten the control of the surrounding city defenses - if they just want to arrest you, there is no need to block the city.
The traffic between the city and the city, apart from the economic role, is military... In other words... maybe the purpose of controlling traffic is to prevent the spread of news. If this is really the case, then apart from Wuchang or the vicinity of Wuchang
Towns and other places in Soochow do not have to be like this."
"But..."
Having said so much, Yi Xiaotian was just guessing. He didn't get any more information. After all, it was only a hundred taels of silver, and he couldn't buy higher-level officials. If the matter was really important, I believe the top leaders of Soochow would never allow it.
Such stupid things happen.
"It's useless to speculate too much now. It's better for us to leave here as soon as possible - go to a larger city in Jiangdong. Maybe we can know what happened recently."
Yi Xiaotian said this out of helplessness. Previously in the north, whether relying on Youjian Villa or the officials close to Cao Cao who were close to him, he could always learn about changes in the world's war situation as quickly as possible.
But now he is alone outside, without an intelligence network, and he can only rely on himself to understand and collect everything with his limited vision, which is indeed a bit frustrating.
However, the benefit of being able to move freely cannot be exchanged for the intelligence network. After all, the intelligence may be false, but what you see with your own eyes is true.
Without being too overwhelmed, Yi Xiaotian raised his head and smiled, and shouted to Lu Lingqi in the distance:
"Lingqi, it's time to set off. If you hurry up, you can catch the ferry tonight."
"Know it!"
Lu Lingqi, who was extremely familiar with Yi Xiaotian, knew just by hearing the tone of Yi Xiaotian's words that Yi Xiaotian had already made the next step.
So without any hesitation, he put down some unpaid rouge and gouache in his hand, smiled at the somewhat disappointed shop owner in front of him, and immediately rushed in the direction of Yi Xiaotian.
"gentlemen…"
What made Zhao Yun sigh was that even such a fierce woman would show a sweet smile in front of her husband:
