Jin Youji walked around the city and seemed to be quite familiar with these alleys.
The backyards of ordinary people's houses, the narrow passages that can only allow one person to pass, and the storerooms full of groceries have all become his means to get rid of his spies.
Fortunately, Zhou Jun worked as a policeman in his previous life and was an expert at following Jin Youji. He always followed Jin Youji and never lost his trace.
Finally, Zhou Jun and Hua Yue followed Jin Youji to an old house in the south of the city that had been in disrepair.
Carefully stepping over the collapsed house wall, Zhou Jun and Hua Yue squatted by the window, listening to the whispers coming from inside the room.
Jin Youji said: "I brought some food."
One woman screamed: "I don't want to eat these, take them away!"
Zhou Jun was stunned when he heard this. This voice was Liu Xiaoxian.
Jin Youji added: "In an emergency, if you can't find anything good, you should try to eat something. Don't starve your body."
Liu Xiaoxian: "So what if I'm broken? If I stay in a place like this for a moment longer, I'm afraid I'll go crazy!"
Jin Youji: "I have been out for the past few days, and I have vaguely noticed someone following me. Fortunately, I can get rid of them every time. It can be seen that the group of thugs outside are still looking for you. You can hide here for a few days, and I have already
Entrusting friends from the same hometown to help contact a ship returning to Silla, we, father and daughter, will..."
Liu Xiaoxian suddenly interrupted Jin Youji: "Go back to Silla? Why should I go back to Silla?!"
Jin Youji said anxiously: "You have offended the powerful people in Tang Dynasty and are being hunted everywhere. If you don't return to Silla, you may not be able to save your life!"
Liu Xiaoxian: "I know who those people are, and I also know where their territory is. As long as I don't stay here, go to Jiangnan, and change my name and start over, they will never be able to find me!"
Zhou Jun sighed, took Hua Yue into the house, and said, "Liu Xiaoxian, at this time, it is impossible for you to escape from here."
Liu Xiaoxian, with disheveled hair and stains all over his body, was shocked when he saw Zhou Jun. He backed away quickly and said, "Are you in the same group with them?!"
Jin Youji stood in front of Liu Xiaoxian and begged Zhou Jun: "Mr. Zhou, please show mercy and give our father and daughter a way out!"
Zhou Jun stood at the door and said helplessly: "If I were with that group of people, how could I come with only one person? I'm afraid I would have sent people to surround the house and ordered you to be eliminated."
After hearing this, Jin Youji and Liu Xiaoxian were silent for a while, and their faces became slightly better.
Zhou Jun asked Jin Youji: "How did you find your daughter?"
Jin Youji said honestly: "In order to find my daughter, I made a mark in the city. One day I accidentally saw someone replying under the mark. After some searching, I found my daughter hiding here."
Zhou Jun sighed after hearing this. He didn't expect that Jin Youji's Silla writings could really help him find his daughter.
Liu Xiaoxian rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and asked Zhou Jun: "Who do you work for?"
Zhou Jun: "I only do things for myself."
Liu Xiaoxian: "Then what do you want from me?"
Zhou Jun: "Do you still remember Liu Zai Liu Yushi?"
Liu Xiaoxian nodded.
Zhou Jun: "Go to see him, face him with him, and tell him everything you know."
Liu Xiaoxian did not answer, but lowered his head, unable to see her expression.
Zhou Jun was about to say something when suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps outside the house.
Jin Youji looked out the window and saw many people running from all directions and surrounding the house.
Jin Youji turned back and sat down in the house, yelling at Zhou Jun angrily and angrily: "Zhou Erlang, it turns out you are with that group of people!"
Zhou Jun was also inexplicably surprised at this time. He first looked at Huayue, then came to the door and looked outside the house.
I saw that the people who came were not thieves, but they were both men and women. Everyone had a red fire embroidered on their sleeves or the hem of their robes.
Zhou Jun looked at them for a while and realized that these people were actually Zoroastrian believers.
Huayue drew out her two swords and blocked the doorway.
Zhou Jun looked around. This deserted house was located in Lifang. It was surrounded by buildings that were remote and sparsely populated. It was difficult to escape like last time.
While Zhou Jun was still thinking, Siyuna's voice came from outside the door: "Master Zhou, come out, we have no intention of hurting your life."
Zhou Jun stopped painting the moon, walked slowly outside the house, and saw Siyuna wearing a gray toga.
The latter said in a relaxed tone: "Originally, I was worried about how to find you, but unexpectedly you came by yourself."
Zhou Jun took a long breath and said helplessly: "I'll wait until I finish handling the matters at hand, and then I'll go see the saint with you."
Siyuna shook her head and said, "No need."
Zhou Jun was stunned: "No need?"
Siyunna: "I couldn't bring you back last time. There happened to be trouble in the church, and the saint needed to deal with it. She couldn't wait for you that long, so she left Luoyang first."
Zhou Jun frowned and asked, "Then why are you looking for me this time...?"
Siyuna took out a letter from her arms, wrapped it in a silver chain, and threw it towards Zhou Jun.
The latter accepted it, opened the letter, and saw eight small characters written by Juanxiu on the paper - the third year of Tianbao, the eighth day of April.
When Zhou Jun saw these two sentences, he opened his eyes wide and froze.
Seeing this, Siyunna smiled and said: "This letter written by the saint is incomprehensible to others, but it seems that Director Zhou can understand it."
Zhou Jun looked at the date on the letter and understood that this was the time when he first came to the Tang Dynasty. But how did this Zoroastrian saint know about it?
Putting the letter into his arms and keeping it, Zhou Jun nodded to Siyuna and said, "I have received the letter. Please tell the saint. If you are interested, just write a letter and Jun will come to see you."
Xiyunna was a little surprised. She turned her head to look at Zhou Jun and said, "I originally wanted to ask Mr. Zhou what information was hidden on that date in the letter... but it seems that you won't tell me.
Well, I will pass your words to the Saint."
After saying this, Siyuna whistled and all the Zoroastrians dispersed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing this scene, Hua Yue, who had been holding two swords and keeping alert, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She paused for a moment, then suddenly reacted and ran towards the house.
After a while, Huayue's voice came from inside the house: "No, they ran away!"
Zhou Jun entered the house and saw that a gap had been dug under the inner wall of the deserted house. It was usually covered with hay and branches so that no flaw could be seen.
Liu Xiaoxian and Jin Youji must have taken advantage of the Zoroastrians' arrival and escaped from here.
Huayue said with an annoyed look: "Will they escape from the city now?"
Zhou Jun shook his head: "If they could leave the city, they would have left long ago and would not have delayed it until now. The city gates and Luoshui Ferry are probably all hidden by thieves. They know that leaving the city at this time is too risky."
Huayue: "Then where can they go now?"
Zhou Jun said while thinking: "Liu Xiaoxian and Jin Youji are not natives of Luoyang. They have no relatives in the city and cannot leave the city. It is not easy to find a place to stay."
After walking out of the door and looking to the north, Zhou Jun said: "That Jin Youji, there is probably only one person in Luoyang City who can ask for help."
Huayue followed Zhou Jun's gaze and immediately reacted, asking: "Is it Master Mao Shun you want to say?"
Zhou Jun nodded lightly.
Hua Yue couldn't believe it: "But Master Mao Shun is in the lantern tower of Shangyang Palace. There are many people there and it is close to the imperial city. Will those two really go there?"
Zhou Jun: "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place may also be the safest place."
