Chapter 465 Leaving the County
Before coming, Lu Tianming had already instructed everyone in the team.
If he goes there and finds something wrong, he will issue a warning.
When everyone in the team heard the noise, they immediately fled back.
No matter where you escape to, hide first.
The city is in chaos now, and outsiders have been expelled during the day, so many people are hiding everywhere.
By then, if they really abandoned the carriage and fled, some people would always be able to escape.
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario.
Lu Tianming took a deep breath and strode towards the city gate in front.
There were two dim lanterns hanging above the city wall in front, and the view was very blurry.
As for the city gate, it was pitch black and one couldn't see what was going on inside at all.
Lu Tianming walked forward with a tense mind, and there was silence all around him.
As we were almost at the doorway, a deep voice came from the darkness ahead.
"Is it Miss Lu's team that's coming?"
Lu Tianming was startled by the sudden sound and quickly came to his senses.
"Exactly. I wonder if you are Mr. Wei?"
"It's me, follow me!"
After the person in the doorway finished speaking, he realized that the footsteps he heard were not right.
He took two steps forward, leaned out and looked behind Lu Tianming, wondering:
"My brother said dozens of people would come, why are you the only one here?"
Lu Tianming looked at the figure that appeared in front of him. He had a thick and messy beard on his angular square face.
Judging from his appearance, it is exactly what Young Master Sun said before.
Lu Tianming felt relieved and said, clasping his fists:
"Master Wei, I'm afraid the noise will be too loud and cause trouble, so I've asked the team to wait at the back."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wei said to Lu Tianming:
"Then don't waste time, just call someone over.
By the way, let the carriage move more gently.
Although I sent them away, it's still troublesome if they make a commotion."
After thinking for a while, he said again:
"Forget it, I'll just go with you!"
Then he said to the two people in the doorway:
"Lao Li, Lao Wang, both of you remove the bolt, open the door and wait for me."
Two low responses came from inside.
Lu Tianming felt relieved only when he led Mr. Wei back.
At this moment, everyone in the team was waiting anxiously in the dark.
When they heard footsteps, they all looked forward.
Only when they saw Lu Tianming return safely did they relax a little.
When Mr. Wei came over and saw the large group of people, he just took a rough look at the number of people and it was about the same as what his brother said.
When I saw that the people in this team even tied up their horses' mouths, I couldn't help but sigh at their caution.
At this time, Lu Tianming invited Mr. Wei to sit on the shaft of the carriage.
Mr. Wei didn't waste any words and went straight up to sit down, signaling Lu Tianming to drive away quickly.
The team quickly arrived at the city gate, and Official Wei jumped off the carriage nimbly.
In the city gate, two thin men came out after hearing the noise.
"Boss, the city gates are open. Are all the people gathered? Let them pass quickly!"
Wei Guanye responded and said to Lu Tianming:
"Drive the carriages out quickly! Don't stop outside the city gates! Leave as soon as possible!"
Lu Tianming bowed to Mr. Wei and thanked him:
"Thank you, Mr. Wei. We'll be leaving soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked the reins and the carriage quickly drove out of the city.
Inside the city, Lord Wei watched all the carriages leaving the city and instructed the two men to close the gate quickly.
After the city gate was closed, he held up the lantern and carefully swept the wheel tracks with the broom at hand.
After finishing his work, he carefully checked it again. After confirming that there was no problem, he said to the two of them:
"After today, this matter will be treated as if it never happened.
Those people have already escaped. If we are found and pursued, we will be the only ones in trouble!
You should all know the reason behind this!"
The two of them quickly agreed, repeatedly assuring that this matter would only be known to heaven and earth, and no one else would know about it.
When Mr. Wei heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, we've been brothers for many years, I naturally trust you.
I will have someone deliver the silver and money we agreed on to you tomorrow.
In addition, I booked a private room in Zui Xiang Lou and made an appointment with the top courtesan Xiang Yue and the new beauty Mu Dan.
Tomorrow night, let's go and relax."
When the two men heard the names of the two beauties, lewd smiles appeared on their faces.
...
After Lu Qingqing and her group left the city, they followed the official road and traveled all night.
We also encountered some villages on the way. Everyone was afraid of causing a noise, so they moved quietly and left as quickly as possible.
The team ran all night until the sky turned pale in the east.
Lu Tianming looked at the road that he could vaguely see. He felt that he had run far enough, so he turned into a small fork in the road when he saw it.
To be on the safe side, the team walked inside for a while before stopping to rest in a secluded place.
The tense and urgent journey through the night made everyone in the team exhausted.
After the team stopped, everyone was busy unloading the frame, throwing away their bedding, and went to sleep.
She slept until the sun rose, and Lu Qingqing woke up to the rustling noises of people in the camp.
Because I only slept for two hours, my head is still a little dizzy.
But thinking about how they had successfully escaped from Yong'an County and were about to embark on a new life, a smile unconsciously appeared on Lu Qingqing's face.
I hope that King Huai’s fiefdom is really as the rumors say, and he can live a peaceful and stable life.
Seeing that more and more people were getting up in the camp, Lu Qingqing stopped sleeping and got up to take some food and fodder from the cart to feed the horses.
In the camp, most people were in a good mood, with smiles on their faces as they worked.
After breakfast, the team set out again and continued along the official road.
Traveling during the day is completely different from traveling at night, and the scenery along the road is in full view.
Along the way, there were a lot of withered grass and trees on both sides of the road.
It seems that the information I heard before was correct. There was a disaster here too.
Seeing this, everyone was worried.
But they soon had no time to worry, and soon the team came across a large village.
Several villages are connected together, and the large tracts of land are also connected together.
As everyone sat on the cart and moved forward, they could see large fields of crops with green sprouts just sprouting on both sides of the road.
At this time, many people were carrying water into the fields.
This aroused everyone's curiosity. In the neighboring Yong'an County, there was no drinking water for people, but in King Huai's fiefdom there was still water for irrigation.
Lu Tianming was also a little curious about this. Seeing the villagers carrying water from a place not far ahead, he drove the carriage forward.
When they arrived, everyone was surprised to see the large bay made of gray earth.
Lu Qingqing recognized at a glance that the bay was made of cement.
It seems that the cement technology here is quite mature. There are even steps specially built on the edge of the bay for easy access to water. The steps are very delicate and smooth.
Lu Qingqing looked at the big bay and suddenly felt great confidence in Yining County.
Because their team stopped, some villagers came over to look.
Although there was some vigilance in their eyes, they were not as hostile as those families with water in Yong'an County.
An old man saw that they were not leaving, so he tapped his aching waist and walked towards this place.
"Young man, are you going to Yong'an County for business? Do you need to refill your water here?"
Everyone in the team didn't expect that the old man would let them take the water that they had to fight for in Yong'an County.
