Chapter 324: Destroy the Pursuing Troops and Head South

Unexpectedly, this man did not want bribe money, so he waved his hand to open the door rudely, looked past Ji Mo, squinted at everyone in the car, then his eyes fell on Ji Mo and he smiled unkindly.

"Humph! You don't look like a family visiting relatives. Instead, you look like... come on, bring me the portrait sent by the higher-ups."

As soon as the voice fell, Ji Mo narrowed his eyes. When the other party's subordinates received the order to take the portrait, Ji Mo immediately and silently scattered the large bag of 5.0 version of the Enchantress Incense in his hand.

The portraits were quickly brought over, and the other party picked up one at random and took a cold glance at it. His sight fell on Yu Meixue in the car. Then the man shook the portrait in his hand and sneered at Ji Mo.

"Servant? Or your sister-in-law? This person is so similar to the portrait. You and the wanted criminal of the imperial court are similar, except for you. Is it such a coincidence? Come on..."

At the sound of that, all the people who were surrounding them drew their swords, but before they could move, the order was delayed and everyone felt dizzy.

Oh no, I’ve been tricked!

The leader thought to himself that something was wrong and immediately drew the long sword from his waist, pointing the blade directly at Ji Mo.

He shook his head again and again, trying to suppress the dizziness in his head, but unfortunately the effect of the medicine was too strong and he could not resist it at all. He heard the sound of heavy objects and swords falling, and his men fell to the ground one after another.

Before the leader closed his eyes for the last time, he only had time to see the pretty boy in front of him, who had been timid just now, picking up his dropped long sword, and like a black-faced devil, he approached step by step with the sword in his hand, stepping on his heart step by step, and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

He was terrified and felt that his life was over. However, no matter how scared he was, he could not resist the call of darkness. His neck tilted and his vision went completely black. Before he closed his eyes, his heart was filled with regret.

Almost at the moment when the accident happened outside, Li Yaoguang in the car moved.

She immediately rushed out with the dagger in her hand, "Brother, are you going to take action?"

Ji Mo raised his knife and cut off one of the leader's arms with one swift blow, then shook his head at Li Yaoguang.

"No, these people are all Dajing soldiers. They may have defended their country before. They are just following orders to hunt us down. They are not unforgivable. I can't kill innocent people before they hurt us."

Li Yaoguang thought about it and nodded: "Yes, but if we don't kill him, what should we do now? Brother, how long can your 5.0 version of the Enchantress last? Can it help us escape smoothly?"

Ji Mo said: "There is no wind today, and the new version of the Ecstasy Incense is effective. These people will not wake up unless they are unconscious for three to five hours. This time is enough for us to leave this place."

"That's good, that's good, let's go without further ado."

"Okay, let's go now, but..."

"what?"

Ji Mo used the long knife in his hand to hook out several portraits dropped by the other party and picked them apart with the knife. As they unfolded, Li Yaoguang was stunned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, who said that ancient fine brush paintings are not realistic?
Don’t these look old?

These portraits, although not as lifelike as modern sketches, are at least 70% similar to their appearance, which is quite acceptable.

Ji Mo naturally noticed Li Yaoguang's astonishment and immediately explained.

"We fled overnight and left the city early in the morning. It's only been a short time now, but the enemy has already sent troops to chase us. They already have clear portraits of us, which shows that the court is determined to capture us and bring us back.

Judging from the current situation, the enemy is chasing us directly to the north. Judging from the clear direction, they must have expected us to flee to the north. It is clear that there are many dangers waiting for us on the road ahead. If we continue to go north, the road will be difficult..."

Ji Mo's worries were obviously correct. Yu Meixue and others who got off the car and looked at the lifelike portrait also agreed with Ji Mo's words. "Brother Mo is right, Guang'er, the journey to the north to reunite with your uncle may not be easy."

"What should I do? I have to go even if it's not easy. I can't just wait here and die, right? And I'm afraid that if your uncle finds out about the changes at home, what will I do if I run back and fall into the tiger's mouth?"

Yes, if I don’t go north, firstly, I’m afraid my family will worry; secondly, I can’t just wait to die here out of fear, right?
But if they didn't leave, the first wave of pursuers would have more than a hundred people, and they were all fully armed elite soldiers. It was not difficult to imagine how powerful the people who came to chase and capture them would be. Is there any place for them to stay south of the river?

Everyone was lost in thought, but Ji Mo spoke at the right time.

"Yaoguang, Auntie, please listen to me. If you all believe me, why don't you follow me?

We take a detour, abandoning the north and heading south to avoid this crisis first, and rest for a while in the unknown rear area of ​​my Qijitang. There are high mountains and dense forests there, and my Qijitang has been running for many years, so it is impervious to water and safe. Besides, Senior Brother Wu and Uncle Dong are all there, and I have the manpower and ability to protect everyone.

As for Uncle Cheng... when we come across his stronghold, I will send a pigeon to inform Uncle Cheng as soon as possible, so that he won't worry or act rashly. What do you think?"

how is it?

Li Yaoguang and her aunt looked at each other, thought about it, and both felt that Ji Mo's suggestion was safer. They had small families to bring with them, so it would not be easy to force it, so this was the only way.

"Okay, without further ado, we will all listen to Big Brother and leave immediately to avoid any complications."

Ji Mo was overjoyed when Li Yaoguang readily agreed.

He had selfish motives in making this suggestion.

In fact, if they go north, they will be basically safe as long as they cross the river. The area over there is controlled by someone, and the pursuers from the south cannot get through at all. With his own abilities, he can protect them to cross the river safely, which is easier than protecting them to the south now. He made such a suggestion just out of selfish desire.

After all, once they headed north, they were sure to run into someone.

From a public point of view, since he has already taken a concubine, he should not entangle innocent women;

Personally, this woman is someone he loves and cherishes so much, how could he be willing to let someone treat her badly?
In order to prevent his little girl from being deceived by someone's sweet words, he decided to avoid the attack first and take her to his nest to keep her safe.

There is no time to waste, as delay will lead to changes.

Ji Mo hurriedly called Li Yaoguang and the others to get in the car, and he and Li Qifeng dragged the people surrounding the car to the side of the road, and stabbed all the horses in the buttocks and drove them away. Then he turned the carriage back, bypassed the south of the city, took a small road, and rushed towards the headquarters of Qijitang day and night.

Their change of direction and detour caused the imperial pursuers to completely lose sight of them. After all, no one expected that they, who were supposed to go to the north to live with their relatives, would do the opposite. This gave them some temporary peace.

However, what Li Yaoguang and his men who were hiding all the way south didn’t know was that when they were being captured by the imperial court, a group of people and horses arrived at the old capital with baggage in a mighty manner.

Now the North is in a state of disrepair and many things are complicated. Shen Yue is extremely busy, but he also uses this as an excuse to avoid the entanglement of his two new concubines.

Although the two of them were secretly trying to show off to see whose room Shen Yue would enter first, they did not dare to show it too much. After all, Shen Yue was not kind to them at all and had not consummated his marriage with them until now. Thinking of the advice from their elders at home, they should behave well, be considerate and gentle, be virtuous and generous. Of course, it would be even better if they could win the heart of the monarch as soon as possible, or have a child. They were anxious and showed it more, which made Shen Yue hide even more.

On this day, Shen Yue led many of his men to discuss matters in the hall. When they were discussing the current situation and the people's livelihood in the north, someone came in from outside and said that an old friend wanted to see him.

Shen Yue was puzzled, "Old friend, what old friend?" Apart from his Yaoguang, what other old friends could he have?
The messenger clasped his fists, replied honestly and respectfully to the person who came.

"General, the person who came did not explain in detail, but repeatedly claimed that he was an old friend of yours in Fengzhou City. Today, he came again with a sincere heart and all his family property, and said that you would know the truth after meeting him. I was afraid that it was a trick, so I asked the captain of Huwei who led the person to guard the city and confirmed it personally. The other party did bring a lot of baggage, horses, and hundreds of vehicles and supplies into the city. I did not dare to delay and came to report this."
