Shu Blossoms

Chapter 512
After Ding He finished talking about his life experience, Ma Xingyun felt a little guilty and at a loss, and looked at Yao Qier in embarrassment. The two of them were obviously a little angry and didn't want to talk to him, so he could only lie down on the ground sullenly.

When Ma Xingyun was in a daze and was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a loud commotion outside. He was alert and jumped up from the ground, lying on the crack of the door and looking out.

Ding He and Yao Qier also stood nervously behind him, asking softly, "Boss, what's going on outside?"

"There are a lot of soldiers, like the city defense battalion." Ma Xingyun replied to them absent-mindedly, and then silently calculated.

After all the soldiers from the city defense battalion outside ran away, Ma Xingyun counted four or five teams running over, each team had more than a dozen people, and there were six to seventy people running past this street alone. What happened? Big deal?
Suddenly his heart moved, today he saw the secret mark left by the third brother in the post house, and now the whole Jiujiang City is strictly guarded, isn't it for them!
Could it be that the three brothers accidentally showed their tracks and were discovered by the city defense battalion.

Thinking about being chased when he went out at night without knowing the depth a few days ago, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

Suddenly there was another commotion outside. Hearing that it was not too far away, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to go out and have a look.

Unexpectedly, he was grabbed by Ding He as soon as he opened the door, "Boss, where are you going? There are city defense camps outside."

"I have to go out and have a look, you stay here and don't come out."

Ma Xingyun left a word and ran out. Yao Qier bit his lip and drooped his eyes, wondering what he was thinking. Suddenly he reached out to stop Ding He from closing the door, and raised his head and said to him: "Nowadays there are too many city defense camps outside. It is too much for him to go out by himself." It's dangerous, I have to follow to see."

Ding He immediately answered, "Then I'll go with you."

"If I'm caught, they won't do anything to me. They'll release me after one night at most. They won't show mercy to you. You stay and watch the house!" Yao Qier ran after Ma Xingyun after finishing speaking. out.

Ma Xingyun chased behind the city defense battalion all the way, seeing that most of the people had listened, he guessed that they were nearby.

He observed for a long time, and the inside was gradually surrounded by an iron barrel, and it was almost impossible to get in without being noticed.

He looked up at the fence, and then at the surrounding roofs, only to find that the roofs of several houses were connected, which might be a road.

Ma Xingyun trotted for a few steps and was about to jump when a person jumped out and hugged his waist, causing him to almost fall to the ground.

Ma Xingyun cursed in a low voice, looked down and saw that it was Yao Qier, and couldn't help shouting: "What are you doing here?"

Yao Qi'er didn't explain, but said calmly, "Is the person you're looking for inside?"

"Go in and have a look!" Ma Xingyun was a little anxious.

Yao Qier pulled him into his ear and said, "Even if you go in, you won't be able to get out of the third floor here. If you want to save your people, only I can help you!"

"How to help?" Ma Xingyun asked subconsciously.

Yao Qier's usually downcast eyes finally lifted up, and he looked at him with a clear look, "If I help you this time, you have to promise to take me out of Jiujiang City."

Ma Xingyun nodded and agreed without thinking, "As long as we have a chance to leave in the future, we will definitely take you with us!"

The two formally reached an agreement for the first time, Yao Qier asked Ma Xingyun to send him to a farmer's house, and then he crawled carefully from the roof into the encirclement, and soon found that the people from the city defense camp were slowly approaching an alley .

After listening to Ma Xingyun's narration, Zheng Heng couldn't help sighing: "These children are really amazing now, each one is better than the other! Twenty years have passed since Lu Yan's incident, and there is only that child left in Lu's family. Since we We have already promised him, we will help him of course!"

Ma Xingyun nodded, and was a little worried: "What if they don't let Yao Qier come back tomorrow morning?"

Zheng Heng was also a little uncertain. According to what they said before, this Yao Qier is a special existence in Jiujiang City, and the people in the city defense battalion will not do anything to Yao Qier.

But the situation is different today, Yao Qier appeared in the city defense battalion to arrest them, but the people of the city defense battalion failed to catch them, so naturally they couldn't help but suspect that Yao Qier had something to do with them.

If Yao Qier is regarded as their accomplice, then the matter may become serious.

Zheng Heng looked at the pensive Xiao Yucheng inquiringly, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of this matter?"

"I was thinking, General Han is not a narrow-minded person, and with his pride, he would not look down on a rebel orphan. Why did he do this to this Yao Qier?"

Xiao Yucheng pondered and said, Zheng Heng had a guess in his heart, pointed to the sky, and whispered: "Could it be."

Xiao Yucheng shook his head, "Your Majesty was just born at that time, and he didn't have that much hatred for the Lu family, and I don't think His Majesty may even know the existence of Yao Qi'er."

"What kind of threat is that child who is only in his teens, so that they treat him so cruelly?"

This is the doubt in their hearts, but they can't understand it, so they can only wait.

During this period, Xiao Yucheng didn't know what he thought of, and he looked at Ma Xingyun and Zheng Heng in silence, wanting them to leave early, leaving him to wait here, but he also thought of the strict curfew in Jiujiang City, even if they leave, I'm afraid they will leave Not too far away, and finally swallowed it back.

In the ruined temple, none of the four of them slept, and they sat there for a night in relative silence. Until dawn, Ma Xingyun, who was guarding the door, suddenly heard movement outside, and immediately lay down on the crack of the door to look out, and sat beside him. Ding He immediately stood up and lay down on top of him to look out. A small, thin figure was walking this way.

The two looked at each other in surprise, "Yao Qier is back!"

The two couldn't wait to open the door, and happily ran up to greet them, "Yao Qier, you are back!"

Ding He even dragged Yao Qier to grope around, and asked worriedly, "They didn't beat you, did they?" Yesterday he hid in a corner and listened to the boss and the others talking, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Yao Qier smiled shyly, "Brother Ahe, I'm fine, don't you know that they won't beat me! Let's go in, today the city is more strictly inspected than yesterday, the streets and alleys are full of People from the city defense battalion."

"Ah, can we still go out to find food today?" Ding He glanced at the ruined temple with a bitter face, but there were still two people waiting to eat inside!
The three of them entered the ruined temple, and Yao Qier felt a sharp scrutiny as soon as he entered the door, and carefully followed Ma Xingyun with lowered eyes.

Xiao Yucheng frowned slightly, Yao Qier didn't feel very good to him, he could tell that this was a child with deep thoughts after just one glance, and from his slightly drooping eyes, it could be seen that he was good at hiding his thoughts .

However, he wasn't very worried. After all, it was impossible for an orphan who lost his relatives to live without some thoughts.

What worries Xiao Yucheng even more now is that Yao Qier has really returned safely. He doesn't believe that the Jiujiang Army and the people in the city defense battalion are all fools, and he didn't even notice the obvious transfer of the tiger from the mountain last night.

"Clean up and change places!" When they came in, the first thing Xiao Yucheng said was to leave here.
