I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 182 Escape

Without paying any attention to the mischievous girl Yan Qiaoyun turned around and stared at the sad-looking Qi Heng and asked, "What are you thinking about, Brother Qi?"

Ugh!

He sighed silently in his heart, and at this time Taoist Qi Heng's eyes were extremely complicated.

He saw the letter that Brother Du left at Yanchunlou a few days ago.

However, the content of the letter made him very worried. Although the letter did not mention Brother Du’s current situation, it simply advised them to leave Wuyun City.

But from the letter, Taoist Qi Heng read a deep sense of fear and despair.

Leave? Is it really okay to leave like this?

"Brother Qi, Brother Qi, what's wrong with you?"

It was not until Yan Qiaoyun gently shook Taoist Qi Heng's arm that he came back to his senses.

"Oh, Yunniang, what's up?"

When Yan Qiaoyun heard the old Taoist's question, her eyebrows twitched.

What's wrong with them? What kind of magic potion did that brat named Du feed them that makes them so unable to let go?

With a smile on her face, Yan Qiaoyun immediately changed the subject and said, "Brother Qi, I want to ask what kind of person your senior brother is, what he likes, and whether we should prepare some things as gifts along the way."

Senior brother?

Thinking of that gentle and refined person, the old Taoist couldn't help but smile.

"My senior brother is a very easy-going person, actually..."

Suddenly, Taoist Qi Heng caught a glimpse of the girl who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Their eyes met for a moment, and the old Taoist immediately understood what she was thinking.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and then Master Qi Heng spoke.

"Niang Yun, why don't we buy some local specialties in Wuyun City and bring them back to my senior brother? This way we can express our sincerity.

In the previous correspondence, my senior brother mentioned that he had accepted two apprentices. As their uncle, I had to prepare some gifts for my first meeting with them."

A flash of surprise flashed in Yan Qiaoyun's eyes, and she opened the curtain beside her and looked

"That's fine. It's still early now, so it won't take much time to buy some gifts."

"Zhongzhan, turn around and go to the West City Market. We still need to prepare some things."

Hearing the sound coming from the carriage, a young man who was driving the carriage showed obvious displeasure on his face.

Damn it, I am a bodyguard, not a servant, why...

"Your reward will be increased by another ten taels."

Hearing the pleasant sound coming from the carriage again, Zhong Zhan's face became serious and he immediately turned his horse around.

"Okay, ma'am, this is the West City Market, right? We'll be there soon."

A young man who was taking a nap on the other side of the carriage couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw his elder brother's shameless behavior.

This eldest brother of his is usually quite reliable, but when it comes to money, sorry, moral integrity will be thrown out the window immediately. This money-hungry nature has been integrated into his bones, and he probably won't be able to change it in this lifetime.

The carriage was moving slowly on the wide street, but the atmosphere among the three people in the carriage was a little weird.

It was not until the carriage stopped at a market in the west city that the sound coming from outside the carriage interrupted the silent atmosphere inside.

"My lady is here."

"Well, I understand.

After responding casually, Yan Qiaoyun turned around and told the two people in the car

"Brother Qi, Xiaohuan, you guys just wait for me in the carriage. I'll buy the gifts and we'll leave the city as soon as possible. If we're any later, it will be hard to get to the next town before dark."

Before Taoist Qi Heng could respond, Su Xiaohuan answered first, "Well, Auntie, please come back soon. We will wait for you in the carriage."

Hearing this, Yan Qiaoyun looked at the two of them with a complicated look, then lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage.

After Yan Qiaoyun left, Su Xiaohuan immediately grabbed Taoist Qi Heng's arm.

"Uncle Qi, let's go quickly before Auntie comes back."

“This…~”

Seeing the old Taoist hesitate, Su Xiaohuan hurriedly urged, "Uncle Qi, you also want to go find Brother Du, right?"

"Brother Du...Brother Du has lost all his relatives, and now his health is in trouble. If...if we don't care about him, then Brother Du will be too pitiful."

Looking at the tearful girl in front of him, Taoist Qi Heng's eyes flashed with shame, and then he said firmly, "Okay, let's go find Brother Du together. At least we have to make sure he is safe first."

When Su Xiaohuan heard the Taoist's answer, a look of joy appeared on her face.

After making up their minds, the two of them stopped delaying and hurried out of the carriage.

But when they lifted the curtain of the carriage, they saw a young man taking a nap on the shaft.

Seeing this, Su Xiaohuan immediately took out a golden fork from her head and placed it next to the young man.

"Zhongli, you are just hired by my aunt to protect our safety. Now we have something to do, so please don't stop us, okay?"

Zhongli tilted his head slightly to glance at the golden fork beside him, then closed his eyes and continued to take a nap. It was true that he was a bodyguard hired by Madam Yan, but he was only responsible for protecting the safety of a few people. As for other things, he would not care or ask too many questions.

Seeing the young man close his eyes, the two of them jumped off the carriage without any delay and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

When the two were leaving, Yan Qiaoyun, who was standing on the second floor of a shop, stared at their leaving figures.

"Don't you want to chase them? As long as the money is in place, I promise to get them back to you immediately."

Hearing this, Yan Qiaoyun just shook her head and said, "No need. If your heart is not here, it will be meaningless even if you leave.

After saying this, Yan Qiaoyun turned around and looked at the young man in front of him seriously.

Zhong Zhan, I know your abilities, go and protect them for me, and don't worry, you won't be short of money."

Hearing the request of the woman in front of him, Zhong Zhan immediately showed a bright smile on his face.

Mrs. Yan is not short of money, and the brothers are professionals in protecting people.

So as long as the money is paid, don't worry, just make sure the employer is safe before they die.

Time changes with each passing day, the stars move, and in an instant Wuyun City is covered by a touch of night.

At this time, the county magistrate's mansion was at its busiest with the sound of drinking and chatting.

"congratulations"

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Chu Hongzhao responded to everyone who came to congratulate him with a smile on his face, but the worry in his eyes could not be dispelled.

It’s good that my son has such an idea, but he is still young and doesn’t understand how cruel the conflicts in the court and the world are.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the discord between the border troops and the royal family.

Although he was the head of a county, in the eyes of those two giants he was just a bigger ant.

Alas! It is unclear whether it is a blessing or a curse for Yunxuan to marry the core disciple of Yanyue Sect this time.

"The auspicious time has arrived, please invite the newlyweds to enter."

As the ceremonial attendant (the person who presided over weddings in ancient times) shouted loudly, Chu Hongzhao came back to his senses from his thoughts.

No matter what, now that things have come to this point, there is no room for hesitation.

Looking up at the two people walking into the inner hall holding the red silk, Chu Hongzhao couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile on his face.

Yunxuan is his eldest son and the most outstanding of his sons. Since he wants to take a gamble, how can I not support him as a father?
