Chapter 294 It Seems that It Is Them!
In the restaurant room, Wu Sheng's mother closed the window, blocking out the bright moonlight like a white gauze.
He turned around and patted the scholar on the shoulder, "Let's go and report back. Maybe it's an unexpected gain."
"It's just a barbarian who escaped from prison. It's not that exaggerated, right?" The scholar blinked, not understanding what Wu Sheng's mother meant.
In his opinion, he is just a barbarian who escaped from prison and cannot make any waves. Moreover, judging from the other barbarians who were beheaded, they most likely received severe punishments.
How far can you run if you have been severely punished and are unfamiliar with the place? It is estimated that he will be captured and taken back if he can't even escape from Bianzhou territory.
There is really no point in wasting time and energy on this kind of person.
"What do you know, kid? He's just a barbarian? If it's really that simple, why don't the government dare to arrest him in a big way?" Wu Sheng's old mother asked.
Without thinking, he said contemptuously: "If we conduct a large-scale investigation, wouldn't everyone know about someone's escape from prison? Besides, how can it be considered an escape if there is a scapegoat? Didn't he catch him without running out?"
He said matter-of-factly: "Those officials are not pigs, how can they label themselves as negligent?"
Seeing his smug look, Wu Sheng's old mother laughed angrily, "Then what do you mean, the government officials will ignore you? Let that barbarian run away wherever he wants?"
"That's definitely not the case!" The scholar hurriedly sat up and shook his head in denial: "If that barbarian ran back to Beihu, the situation would be much bigger!"
"No, no! I will definitely pursue you secretly!"
Wusheng Old Mother said: "If this is the case, then do we still want to report it?"
The expression on the scholar's face was stagnant, and most of the alcohol was gone in an instant. Something felt wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and he kept chewing on the whole thing and what he had said.
If I run back to Beihu... If... I run back... If... I run back to Beihu...
How about running back to Beihu? Tip the news!
He suddenly raised his head, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, his piercing eyes locked on the face of the old mother Wu Sheng, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
"Boy, do you understand?" Wu Sheng's mother lowered her hand and said gently.
"I figured it out!"
The scholar slammed the table and almost jumped up. The smile on his face had already spread all over his face. If it weren't for the fact that he was so close to the prison, he might have burst into laughter.
Seeing this, Wu Sheng's old mother nodded, feeling deeply that the child could be taught. He explained: "I will go back and report the news immediately. You should watch what is going on in the city. If anything goes wrong, go back to your hometown and report the news immediately!"
"Okay." The scholar nodded.
Wusheng's mother walked out and just reached the door. She thought of the scholar's temperament and felt uneasy, so she turned around and warned: "Boy, remember this! Don't delay the business because of the thing about your lower body, or else!"
After saying that, her true energy rose, and she stared at the scholar eagerly. This look almost made the scholar who had just sat down jump up in fright and hurriedly stood up.
He raised his hand and swore: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely put important things first. If it's because I delay the official business, I will be struck by lightning from the sky and die badly!"
"Just remember it!" Wu Sheng's mother nodded with satisfaction, opened the door latch and walked out.
The scholar shook his head helplessly, sat down and lamented.
"My fairy..."
On the top floor of another restaurant not far from the restaurant where the two of them were, Zhao and Xuanwu stood by the window, holding hands and looking at each other with a smile.
The two of them could clearly see the scene where Wu Sheng's mother arrested the two jailers just now. It seemed that Zhao had guessed correctly, it was really them.
"I never thought they would come back!"
Zhao stared at the restaurant and said: "It seems that the Hu man was not with them. It should be that the plan in advance was not thorough enough, and our search was fast, so the two were forced to separate."
"Absolutely right." Xuanwu nodded, this was the only possibility.
This group of people came back, most likely to find out what happened and see if the government would fool them. If they were fooled and the matter was hastily, they would add more manpower and find it as soon as possible; if they were not fooled, they would stay put and wait for the news to pass before making plans.
Judging from their reaction tonight, there is a high probability that they will get wrong information, thinking that the government found a corpse to fool them, and hastily settled the matter.
Xuanwu smiled and said: "Young Master Zhao, you are trying to fool me, it's not cured! I am deeply impressed by the Fifth Master's true heritage, I admire you, I admire you!"
Um... Zhao's expression froze. Why did he suddenly start flattering? This young man really wants to make progress!
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Bai Hu's hurried footsteps sounded, "Mr. Zhao, second brother, an old woman came out of the back door of the restaurant, got on the carriage, and seemed to be leaving the city."
"Bai Hu, follow me from a distance!" Zhao immediately turned around and ordered: "Where did you go? Who did you meet? Where did you rest? Write these down and go quickly!"
He thought for a while and then warned: "Be careful on the road, don't be discovered. If you encounter something wrong, run away first!"
"Remember, even if you leave the boundary of Bianzhou, you will continue to follow! Go quickly!"
Bai Hu nodded, said "Okay", and ran out in a hurry, for fear of being a step too late.
After Bai Hu left, Zhao continued to stare at the restaurant, considered for a moment, pointed at the restaurant and said: "Let people stare, especially the room just now. Be careful, don't be seen."
"Don't worry." Xuanwu nodded.
…
The carriage left the city and headed west. Baihu followed the instructions and kept a distance of several miles from the carriage.
It was dark and the carriage did not stop. Baihu had to follow it from a distance while marking. After a day, Baihu was almost exhausted.
Fortunately, the carriage quickly turned into the official road and headed west along the official road. Taking this opportunity, Baihu also rented a carriage and followed it from a distance along the official road.
With the help of the carriage, he rested comfortably for a while. When he woke up at night, he observed from a high place that the carriage in front did not stop.
This made Baihu wonder, Dou Sheng, it has been running for two days, people can bear it, but horses can't, right? If you don't stop to rest, do you really want to tire the horse to death?
After dawn, the old mother Wusheng in front got off the car at a ferry to change boats and continued to go west. Baihu followed suit and also changed to a small boat and followed behind.
After less than two days of going upstream, both of them got off the boat in Chuzhou. Wusheng Old Mother was cautious by nature, and she wandered around Chuzhou City for a long time. Fortunately, Baihu was also stubborn, just following from a distance, if you stop, I will hide, and he didn't use any true energy at all.
Wusheng Old Mother didn't find anything wrong for most of the day. After dark, she took advantage of the few people and turned back every few steps to turn into a medicine shop. Baihu was watching in a restaurant not far away, and asked the restaurant owner to help write down the name of the medicine shop.
After coming out of the medicine shop, Wusheng Old Mother didn't stop and walked directly out of the city. After Baihu made a mark in front of the medicine shop, he still followed from a distance.
Like a shadow.
