Chapter 64: Helped to Climb the Tower

Speaking of this, Xiaoyao was very proud. He laughed and said proudly, "Well, I'm not afraid to tell you, sir. My elder brother is on duty on the city tower in the city defense battalion under the Five Cities Army of Kyoto. It's just a matter of leaving the city. Sir, don't worry, I, Xiaoyao, will take care of you and get you out."

I didn't expect that the drought would be followed by rain. I didn't expect that my cruel thought would bring me a chance of life.

Li Yaoguang was overjoyed. This time it was her turn to thank the two men profusely, but they stopped her.

"Sir, please don't be so generous. It's embarrassing for us. Sir, your kindness is greater than the sky. We are honored to do such a small thing for you. It's getting late, sir, please don't delay. Let Xiaoyaoling go first."

"Thank you, aren't you going?"

Xie Chatou shook his head and said, "We still have patrol missions to do. To avoid suspicion, we must do it as usual tonight. To be honest, sir, all our families are in Kyoto. With the news from sir, we will inform our families as soon as possible to make preparations, and then try to leave the city."

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Chief Xie, I have a favor to ask. May I ask..."

"Sir, it doesn't matter."

"Where does Xie Chatou live? Can we go to Wa Lane? If it's convenient, can you go to Wa Lane where I used to tell stories when you report the news, and inform my friends who used to set up stalls? I went there before when I went to look for you guys, but unfortunately I didn't meet anyone. I did leave two notes there, but I don't know if my friends are setting up stalls or whether I can see them, so..."

Xie Chatou understood Li Yaoguang's meaning immediately. He felt that this child was quite kind-hearted, so he immediately agreed to report the news.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely live up to your trust in just a simple matter of lifting my feet."

After thanking him again and again, seeing that it was getting late, the two parties parted ways. Li Yaoguang followed Xiao Yao, and the two of them walked in the dark towards the city wall in the southeast direction, with Xiao Yao explaining as they walked.

"Sir, we are leaving the city secretly. It is not convenient to pass through the city wall and the ladder to avoid attracting attention. My eldest brother is on duty on the tower in the southeast corner. We can go there directly. Don't worry, sir. I come here often and I am familiar with the road. I will not delay your business."

Li Yaoguang naturally trusted the other party and nodded repeatedly in agreement. Just like that, he followed Xiaoyao all the way to the place he mentioned.

Everything in Kyoto is expensive, and land is even more expensive. Even though it is an outer city, land is a scarce resource. This leads to many residential houses being built along the city walls, which saves both land and bricks. It is not surprising.

The strange thing was that Xiaoyao led her around the East Street and the South Lane, and after passing through a dark residential area, they turned around and around and finally arrived at an open area.

Behind you are the back alleys of houses and in front of you is the towering city wall, which is rare.

Just as Li Yaoguang was marveling at the wonderful place, the little one who was leading the way had already stopped at the foot of the wall in front. He put his hand to his lips, and a burst of owl calls came out of his mouth in a magical and rhythmic manner. After pausing for about three breaths, he continued to call, and did so three times. Then Li Yaoguang saw a head pop out from the entrance of the city wall and asked below.

"Who is coming?"

When Xiaoyao heard the voice, he jumped up and down excitedly, waving his hands, "Brother, brother, it's me, Xiaoyao, I have something urgent to talk to you about, please let me go up."

When the other party heard the voice of his younger brother, he muttered in his heart why this troublemaker came to him again, but he still said in a muffled voice: "Wait."

Not long after, Li Yaoguang saw a pitch-black object being thrown down from the lookout.

When it was completely in front of him, Li Yaoguang suddenly realized that it was actually a large basket that could accommodate a person, with a thick rope tied at one end.

She was still thinking, could she just sit on this thing? Is it safe? Xiaoyao in front of her had already come up to pull her up.

"Sir, hurry up, you go first."

Before Li Yaoguang could say anything, she was pressed into the basket. With Xiaoyao's shout, Li Yaoguang felt the basket shake under her, followed by a creaking sound above her head. Soon, she was pulled onto the city wall and slowly emerged from the lookout.

The two soldiers pulling the rope were wondering why the basket was so light today. Could it be that the boss's noisy brother had become thin due to hunger?

Just as he was thinking about it, his own leader, who was standing at the lookout in front and preparing to pull the basket to pull people out, was dumbfounded when he saw the people being pulled up in the basket. "Who are you?"

As soon as the voice came out, more than a dozen people surrounded the small lookout in an instant, each of them wearing armor and carrying a weapon, and their masculine and murderous aura was very intimidating.

He was so small and his arms were held in other people's hands. Even though he had done nothing wrong and was not afraid, Li Yaoguang trembled subconsciously.

Facing the burly man who looked very much like Xiaoyao, Li Yaoguang pointed at the wall and said, "Xiaoyao's elder brother, right? I'm Xiaoyao's friend. Xiaoyao asked me to go up first, and he's still down there."

Li Yaoguang finished speaking quickly. When the other party heard it, he cursed him as a bad boy in hatred, loosened the iron hand that was holding Li Yaoguang's arm, waved his hand, signaling his men to throw the basket down again, and with the help of the torches that were lit every few dozen meters on the city wall, he looked Li Yaoguang up and down, then turned around and lay on the city wall again.

When the little one from below was pulled up, the big brother, with a gloomy face, suddenly picked up the little one from the basket outside the wall and brought him in like a chicken, causing someone to protest continuously.

"Hey, hey, hey, brother, what are you doing? Be gentle, don't pull my hair, ouch, you're going to tear my head off!"

"Shut up, you troublemaker, and follow me!"

The older brother glared at his younger brother fiercely, and without paying any attention to the younger one's resistance, he dragged him away from Li Yaoguang and walked to the side.

Under the night sky and in the cold wind, Li Yaoguang looked awkwardly at her youngest brother being pulled by his hair and ears to a nearby place by his biological brother. The two brothers lowered their heads and whispered to each other. Li Yaoguang knew that the other party must be asking about their purpose. She thought that the youngest brother must have told his biological brother about himself and the reason for leaving the city.

Sure enough, with the exclamation of Xiaoyao's elder brother in front, the ten soldiers around her who had been looking at her were instantly attracted.

One of the men, who was as strong as a black tower, and a skinny sergeant hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, boss?"

The youngest brother left his younger brother behind and walked up to Li Yaoguang with a gloomy face and a serious tone.

"You are Mr. Wuyouzi, the storyteller, right? I am a young man who is ignorant. I like you because I like your stories. I believe you and believe whatever you say! But I am different. The place I guard is not ordinary. You cannot fool me with just a few words. Is what you said to me true?"

She knew it!

This person is not someone who trusts him as much as Xie Chatou and Xiaoyao do.

But she was not afraid, after all, she was not trying to leave the city without a purpose.

But how can I prove that I didn't lie and still guarantee that I can leave the city? I can't say that I visited Jingzhao Prefecture at night and overheard the secret conversation of the officials, right?

If the person in front of me is the subordinate of the person I eavesdropped on, wouldn't I be a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth?
If the youngest brother can be trusted, can this guy also be trusted?

　Dangdangdang!
　　My dears, I will update every morning at six o'clock from now on.

　　Don’t ask why? Just ask…

　　Woohoo! My dear son, you who told me earlier that my update time is a bit cloudy and asked me to take care of my health, come on, come out.

　　Tell me, baby, have you learned it? How come it works so well?
　　It's only been a few days since I had the fever, and my gallstones have come back. In the past, I would just get through the pain overnight or be gone in the morning.

　　As a result, I was in pain all day today, felt weak all over and had diarrhea so much that I had to lie down on the bed. The most terrifying thing was that my period just came. It was another day when I couldn't type a single word. Fortunately, I had saved some drafts, otherwise I would have been really screwed.

　　My dears, I know your abilities, but I didn't know you could be so capable. It's too mysterious!

　　I was so timid that I was trembling with fear, so I made a prompt decision and changed the expected delivery time.

　　Don’t ask, if you ask, just one word: I’m a coward!
