Zhou Wenju said: "So the sooner Mr. Hu leaves, the better. After Mr. Hu left the palace, Zhou took the initiative to surrender. By the time they discovered the truth, it was already too late."
Hu Xiaotian's eyes were wet. He closed his eyes hard, and the faces of his parents appeared in his mind. Maybe this was his only chance to escape. If he didn't leave Xichuan, the Li family would use him as a hostage. Blackmailing his father, and the court would also convict him because of the in-law relationship between the Hu family and the Li family. This not only affected him, but also affected the entire Hu family. Only at the critical moment of life and death, did Hu Xiaotian discover that deep in his heart Still have a deep sense of responsibility for the family.
But everyone has a family. Hu Xiaotian calmed down his emotions and whispered: "Mr. Zhou, what should you do with your family?"
Zhou Wenju smiled calmly and said: "Sir, there is no need to worry. Except for my medicine boy Zhou Xing, I have no relatives in Xichuan. Before coming here, I had sent Zhou Xing back. Zhou still has two sons in this world, but The two of them have already returned to their parents' home with their mother, and I have nothing to worry about in this world."
Hu Xiaotian pursed his lips. He had never been an indecisive person, and there was no room for hesitation in a life-or-death situation. He respectfully knelt down in front of Zhou Wenju. Zhou Wenju hurriedly stepped forward to hold up his arms and said, "Sir, all Absolutely not!"
Hu Xiaotian insisted on kowtowing to Zhou Wenju three times. Zhou Wenju had given him a new life, and these three kowtows could not be overstated. He did not express gratitude for the great kindness, and Hu Xiaotian did not say much. He and Zhou Wenju exchanged robes immediately. , at this time night has completely fallen.
Hu Xiaotian carried Zhou Wenju's medicine box on his back and walked slowly towards the door. Zhou Wenju lay down on the bed and whispered: "Sir, take care of it!"
Hu Xiaotian's nose felt sore, and two lines of hot tears almost fell down. Reason told him that now was definitely not the time to cry. He opened the door and entered the courtyard. Everything was as Zhou Wenju said. The courtyard was empty. Who were those warriors? Don't dare to get close.
When I came outside the door, I saw Yan Zhou and Zhao Qi standing at a distance, staring at the only exit. Their faces were also covered with white cloths.
Hu Xiaotian took the initiative to walk towards the two of them with the medicine box on his back, and deliberately coughed twice while walking.
Yan Zhou and Zhao Qi were so frightened that they took a few steps back. Yan Zhou loudly said, "Mr. Zhou, are you leaving?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and hummed before stopping.
Yan Zhou and Zhao Qi looked at each other, and Yan Zhou asked: "How is Mr. Hu's situation?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and shook his head, picked up the medicine box and walked out slowly. He tried to control his pace, walking slowly, listening carefully with both ears, and then he felt relieved when he realized that the two men were not following them. It seems that Plague's bluff really scared a lot of people.
When passing through the front yard, I saw two warriors directing three carriages to enter. The carriages were piled full of dry firewood. Looking around, I found that many places inside the palace were already piled with dry firewood. They were obviously preparing for it. Burning this place to the ground, Hu Xiaotian secretly cursed Li Honghan for being vicious. After all, I am also your future brother-in-law. You actually thought of destroying my body and exterminating all traces, saying it was plague. Isn't this still undiagnosed?
Hu Xiaotian did not dare to delay and slowly walked out of the gate of Tianfu Palace. The guards guarding the door did not become suspicious when they saw his outfit, because everyone covered their mouths and noses with white cloth, which created an excellent opportunity for Hu Xiaotian to escape. condition.
The black donkey brought by Zhou Wenju was tied next to the jujube tree on the right side of the palace. Hu Xiaotian stepped forward and untied the black donkey's reins. He led the black donkey away, but he did not expect that the black donkey's hooves were nailed to the ground and would not obey at all.
At his command, Hu Xiaotian cursed in a low voice: "Beast, if you dare to disobey me, I will skin you and cramp you."
Not only was the black donkey not afraid, but it started braying loudly. The black donkey's braying immediately attracted the attention of the gatekeeper. Hu Xiaotian calmly slapped the black donkey on the forehead, and then
He threatened: "If you dare to scream again, I will cut up your words and stew them in soup!"
This trick was surprisingly effective. I wonder if the black donkey understood what Hu Xiaotian said, and immediately stopped braying. Hu Xiaotian took the reins and followed him obediently. After walking out of the palace, Hu Xiaotian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head to look at the palace.
It was a black donkey. It was just discovered that this black donkey was actually a female. Hu Xiaotian spat: "You don't even have one, how can you be afraid?"
The black donkey looked at Hu Xiaotian innocently, and suddenly it brayed again. Hu Xiaotian was horrified. This black donkey was really troublesome. It was dark, and there were few people on the street. The black donkey brayed so loudly that it could be heard far away.
It was very obvious to go out. Hu Xiaotian abandoned the black donkey, hurriedly took out what he needed from the medicine box, and left quickly.
Because Zhou Wenju had told him in advance that all four gates of Xiezhou City were closed at night and entry and exit were prohibited. It was impossible to leave the city now. He asked Hu Xiaotian to go to Buyun Lane for temporary refuge, where there was an abandoned oil mill. Details
The route has been mapped in advance. But now it is incomparable with the era Hu Xiaotian lived in. There are no such clear road signs, let alone GPS navigation. The huge Xiezhou City does not even have a street light. After nightfall, although everything is
The house was brightly lit, but the road was completely dark. Looking at the streets and alleys, they all seemed to look the same. Although Hu Xiaotian had the route map in hand, he still couldn't help but feel confused.
Hu Xiaotian always thought that his sense of direction was okay, but the roads in Xiezhou City were really complicated. He lost his way after a short time. He looked up at the moon. It was so cloudy tonight that he couldn't find the moon, shadows or stars. Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed that he was unlucky.
It's a good idea to have a compass with you.
Although he couldn't find the abandoned oil mill that Zhou Wenju mentioned, it shouldn't be difficult to find a hiding place in such a large city of Xiezhou. Hu Xiaotian decided to change his plan and find an uninhabited place to hide and survive the night first.
Make more plans.
He tried his best to avoid the main road, specifically choosing alleys with sparse lights, and turned into the dark alley ahead. Hu Xiaotian felt vaguely that something was wrong, and there was a faint sound of footsteps behind him. Although the sound was not loud, it still could not escape Hu Xiaotian's keen ears.
He deliberately slowed down his pace. When he slowed down, the other person also slowed down. When he quickened his pace, the other person also speeded up his pace.
Hu Xiaotian's heart sank. He knew that he was most likely being followed. He stopped and turned around slowly, only to see a warrior in full armor standing there more than ten feet behind him. It was exactly
Li Honghan's confidant Yan Zhou.
The mask on Hu Xiaotian's face was still on, but Yan Zhou had already removed the white cloth from his face. Looking at Hu Xiaotian in front of him, he said coldly: "Where are you going, Mr. Zhou?"
Hu Xiaotian deliberately hoarse his voice and said: "Go home!"
Yan Zhou's face was full of suspicion, and he walked slowly towards Hu Xiaotian. In fact, when Hu Xiaotian left, Yan Zhou realized that something was wrong, but out of fear of the plague, he did not dare to go deep into the courtyard and go to the house to check on his condition. Otherwise, this matter would have been solved long ago.
To uncover the truth, he quietly followed Zhou Wenju all the way, and soon found that the behavior of Zhou Wenju was very suspicious. First, the black donkey screamed in fright, and by the time Hu Xiaotian abandoned the black donkey and the medicine box, he had concluded that the person in front of him was definitely not Zhou Wenju.
In all probability, Hu Xiaotian used the golden cicada's escape plan to escape from the palace.
Yan Zhou held the sword in his right hand and walked towards Hu Xiaotian step by step. The blade had been withdrawn from the scabbard for more than half a foot. In the dark night, the bright light of the sword was extremely dazzling.
Hu Xiaotian stood there motionless.
Yan Zhou said: "Take off your mask and let me see your face clearly."
Hu Xiaotian sighed, raised his right hand, and took off the mask.
Yan Zhou sneered and said: "Master Hu, haha, I didn't expect your illness to heal so quickly."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's nothing serious to begin with. It's just a common cold. I'd like you brothers to worry about it."
Yan Zhou said: "Master Hu is not resting in the room, what are you doing here?"
"It's really stuffy inside the palace, so I went out for a walk."
Yan Zhou had already arrived three feet away from Hu Xiaotian: "Master Hu is so excited! I also like walking, why didn't Master Hu ask me to come with him?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am used to being free, and I have always liked to be alone. A fortune teller once told me that I was born with a bad destiny, and whoever gets too close to me will be unlucky.
"
Yan Zhou laughed and took another step forward. The veins in his right hand holding the handle of the knife were exposed. A tangible and invisible murderous aura radiated around like a big net, shrouding Hu Xiaotian on the opposite side.
Hu Xiaotian felt an invisible pressure, oppressing his chest so much that he couldn't breathe. He stared at Yan Zhou's footsteps with all his attention, holding the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle in his hand. For him, there was only one chance to escape from death, and there was no 100% chance.
Be sure and never take action.
Yan Zhou's eyes noticed Hu Xiaotian's lowered right hand. He suddenly became alert and whispered: "Slowly raise your left hand."
Hu Xiaotian slowly raised his left hand.
Yan Zhou said: "Use your right hand to open the cuff of your left hand!"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head helplessly and slowly opened the sleeve of his left hand.
The steel sword in Yan Zhou's hand has been taken out of the sheath. Although he knows that Hu Xiaotian does not understand martial arts, he still remains extremely vigilant. A real warrior will never underestimate any opponent. It is a pity that Yan Zhou this time
The opponent is Hu Xiaotian, a person who doesn't know how to use common sense at all.
Although Yan Zhou estimated that there was a hidden weapon hidden in Hu Xiaotian's sleeve, he did not expect that the hidden weapon was so powerful.
While the black box exposed the cuffs, Hu Xiaotian decisively pressed the mechanism of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. A subtle sound of breaking through the air came, and hundreds of steel needles were fired out at the same time. Although Yan Zhou was very powerful in martial arts, he was so close.
At such a distance, he couldn't react in time. He roared and swung his knife to block it. The speed of the knife still couldn't keep up with the speed of the steel needle. Although some of the steel needles were blocked, most of them still shot into his body.
Yan Zhou was by no means an ordinary person. Even with so many needles in his body, he still took a step forward, raised the steel knife in his hand, and stabbed Hu Xiaotian hard in the chest.
