The night is already dark. This is not a gathering place for people, and merchants are not allowed to do business here. The military camp further away has a regular schedule. Except for the sound of singing and noise coming from the barren hills on the other side and the wind, everything is quiet.
He could detect insects crawling under the withered grass, and he could detect the direction of the footsteps of cheerful people coming and going in the distance. Why couldn't he detect that there was anyone here?
Almost as soon as the sound rang out, his thoughts flashed across his mind. He stepped on the wall and the person slipped out like a meteor and disappeared into the darkness.
There were chaotic footsteps behind him.
"Young Madam." Fang Er slid over and protected Li Minglou behind him, "Who is he?"
Li Minglou asked him to stay in the deserted hill for a while, and he walked away at will. He hurriedly followed, and Li Minglou had already come to the wall.
Although they had been patrolling the surrounding area vigilantly from the beginning until now, they still missed it and discovered that there was someone here.
Li Minglou looked at the figure who had disappeared from sight: "I scared him."
Although she no longer has sores on her body, there is no burning pain when she comes out during the day, and she can even take off her restraints to cover herself indoors at night, but there are still some things that are different from normal people, such as being very sensitive to dead objects.
She can see very well in the dark, and even in the dark she looks like a dead thing.
So just now she stood here like a lifeless stone, and that person was completely absent.
She didn't plan to say anything at first, but when she saw him draw the bow and shoot an arrow, it was obvious that she understood the true function of the wall.
"I'm going to find out who he is." Fang Er immediately became alert after hearing this.
Ordinary people would not notice or recognize this. Recently, there have been an increase in the number of knights. These people are fond of martial arts and violate the law. They are proud of collecting money from others to eliminate disasters for others. They may be bribed by Ande Zhong.
Li Minglou waved his hand to stop Fang Er. She didn't care whether it was Ande Zhong's people or others. All the things she did were done under the clear sky and in broad daylight. She couldn't hide them and was not afraid of people seeing them.
Li Minglou inspected the wall for another moment, listening to the singing, dancing and music on the barren hill becoming more and more lively.
"Young madam, do you want to go over and take a look?" Fang Er asked.
Li Minglou smiled: "Let them enjoy themselves."
Fang Er responded and led his guards around Li Minglou and disappeared into the night.
Wu Ya'er stopped running wildly in the night, with only Lao Hu following him panting, and no one else.
"Why are you running!" Lao Hu grabbed him and gasped, watching him look behind him, and then also looked back, "Is there a ghost chasing you?"
Scarier than ghosts.
Wu Ya'er said: "I saw her."
Although Shicai was frightened and only said one sentence, he certainly recognized the voice. It was that woman.
He had heard her voice and kept it in his mind, never forgetting it.
"Who?" Lao Hu didn't respond.
"Mrs. Wu," Wu Ya'er said, stretching out his hand and pointing, "over there, that wall is not a wall, but an arrow stack used to defend against enemies. I see..."
His topic turned to the fence. Lao Hu was a little confused when he heard it. He stretched out his hand to hold his arm: "Wait a minute, have you met Mrs. Wu? That daughter-in-law from your county government office?"
Wu Ya'er put down his arms and hummed.
"What's going on?" Lao Hu circled around him, "How did you see her? How did she go there? Did she find you? Did she recognize you? What did you say to her...
."
Wu Ya'er interrupted his questioning: "I don't know what you asked, but I know one thing."
"What?" Lao Hu asked.
"She possesses unique skills that are unfathomable," Wu Ya'er said.
Lao Hu was shocked, how could it be possible?
"Since I was fifteen years old, Wu Ya'er has been invisible around me, no matter if it's a human or a wolf." Wu Ya'er looked at Lao Hu, "She can."
He didn't notice her until she spoke.
Wu Ya'er took it as a reference, and Lao Hu understood, and was no longer shocked but silent.
"Then she is not Que'er." He said, "What should we do now?"
Wu Ya'er said: "Let's get out of here."
Lao Hu was surprised again. He confirmed that the woman was fake and extremely powerful. He didn't know how to save his mother, but he wanted to leave instead?
Wu Yaer is not someone who will be frightened out of his wits.
"My way of survival is not here." Wu Ya'er said, "I'm going to look elsewhere. They want to use my identity. The more useful my identity is, the more powerful it is. My mother will be safer. If I'm here or surrender to
In front of them, we would really be leaving our mother and son's lives in the hands of others."
Lao Hu nodded: "But, where can we find it?"
Wu Ya'er was not omnipotent. There was a hint of bitterness in his eyes in the night: "I don't know either." But this did not affect his actions, "Let's get out of here first."
Lao Hu asked no more questions, and the two of them ran off into the night, one behind the other.
Li Minglou returned to the Yamen. The lights in the room were still on. The woman sat on a chair and watched Jin Jue playing shuttlecock.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Li Minglou asked.
"Madam, I will wait for you to come back, young madam." Jin Jue flipped the shuttlecock a few times and caught it with his hands.
Li Minglou reached out and grabbed the woman: "I went out to eat and came back late. Let's go and rest now."
The woman responded with a smile and obediently followed Li Minglou to the bedroom. Jin Jue stood behind him and thought, "Does she recognize the name Que'er? Or does she recognize the person of the eldest lady?"
There was nothing to say all night and a good night's sleep, but before dawn, Li Minglou was woken up by Yuan Ji.
"Five people ran away from the minzhuang camp." Yuanji said.
No matter whether it is a military camp or a civilian camp, people come and go, but those who come sign up and those who leave also take the initiative to report. I have never seen such people run away secretly.
"It appeared just before dawn. I have searched for it, but there is no news." Yuanji said, with a serious look on his face, "It seems to have disappeared out of thin air."
This is amazing. It seems that Dou County has wide open gates and everyone can come and go freely, but in fact, the checkpoints are tight and it is not possible for ordinary people to leave without leaving a trace.
"This is their login information." Yuanji handed over a booklet.
Li Minglou shook his head and did not answer: "This information must be false. There is no need to read it, but..."
But what? Yuanji looked at her.
But she might have seen one of the people who ran away. Li Minglou thought of the figure in front of the wall last night, who suddenly appeared and disappeared in the night, as agile as an agile leopard.
Was it because he discovered something unusual, so he ran away immediately?
Li Minglou smiled, it seemed that he was really scared.
Yuan Ji saw the smile on Li Minglou's lips and became even more puzzled. Is the lady happy?
Li Minglou told him what happened last night.
"This person must have understood that we are stationing troops and preparing for war." Yuan Ji looked more solemn, "If this news spreads, Huainan Guangzhou Prefecture and even Dou County will not let us stay anymore."
It's okay to help train the people, but training soldiers is a taboo for the government. Not to mention it's a taboo for the government, and the people will panic. That's why they have to ask the Dou County government to come forward in everything, and they use it as an excuse to suppress bandits.
Li Minglou was about to say something, but Fang Er quickly walked in from outside the door and interrupted their conversation regardless.
"Han Xu didn't go back to his hometown to visit his mother." He held a narrow note and said, "He came to Huainan."
Li Minglou felt numb from his feet to the top of his head.
