Chapter 653 From Traveler to Villain
Mu Cheng had also moved to the door of the backyard at this time, looking at the two people who turned over and returned to the wall, he said, "Why don't you go!"

"There's an ambush outside!" Bo Ling and Li Yiru replied at the same time. While talking, they worked together to latch the door leading to the outside from the backyard.

The fat yamen servant hurriedly helped his official hat that had been knocked crooked in the confusion, and pointed at Bai and Li, "Catch these two first! Catch these two first!"

Mu Cheng frowned. From the corner of his eyes, he saw four or five yamen guards rushing towards Bo Ling and Li Yiru. However, he was deeply involved in the struggle at the moment, so he took two steps closer to the two young men. Had to be forced to take a step back——

"careful!"

"what--"

Mu Cheng's voice and the screams of the yamen servant resounded at the same time.

Mu Chengzhi looked sideways——Under the moonlight, Li Yiru was sitting pale and leaning against the wall. In front of him, Bai Ling had already drawn out his dagger and stabbed a certain official in the right arm.

Bo Ling drew his knife neatly, and the officer who was stabbed took a few steps back weeping.

The smell of blood spread, and the other government servants who came to pick up soft persimmons also took a few steps back slowly.

There were some dripping blood spots on Bai Ling's face, and she gently wiped it away with her left hand, and there was a bloodstain.

Bo Ling, holding the knife, drew a straight line obliquely in the wind like an afterimage with his right hand, and the blood on the blade was thrown off the ground.

This scene makes people's teeth chatter...

Then she took a few steps back and stood in front of Li Yiru.

"Let the horse come here." Bo Ling's voice was low, and he raised his dagger sharply.

Several yamen servants moved their throats, and soon raised their knives again. They let out loud and angry roars—then turned around and rushed towards Mu Cheng who was besieged behind him.

"Take it easy!" Mu Cheng struck with the back of his sword, knocking away two or three yamen servants standing in front of him, "These are officers and soldiers! Don't hurt their lives!"

Bai Ling was a little funny, if Mu Cheng knew whose blood was once on this knife...wouldn't he be frightened to death.

She turned her head and glanced at Li Yiru, who was pale, "Hey, are you okay?"

Li Yiru regained his composure and stood up abruptly, "I, I, I'm fine."

Bo Ling helped Li Yiru, who was still a little unsteady, "Let's hide under the eaves of the corridor!"

Almost at this moment, many archers appeared above the stone wall in the backyard. However, in the open-air courtyard, Mu Cheng and a dozen or so officials fought inseparably. The archers aimed for a long time, but never fired an arrow.

The fat yamen servant stood at the corner of the yard and stared at this scene with his head shrunk. He originally wanted to wait for the crowd to exhaust Mu Cheng's energy, but Mu Cheng who was besieged showed a tendency to fight more and more courageously—maybe it was because Huizhou Mansion has always been peaceful. He has been in the yamen for so many years, and he has never met an opponent with such amazing combat power.

What's worse, the sound of fighting in the backyard has disturbed the whole street - when the people in this inn wake up at dawn tomorrow, he will also give an explanation to the people above.

If these three people are kept...

The fat yamen servant sank the corners of his mouth, and simply refused to do anything. He ran to the side of the eaves with a few people, and said sharply to the archer on the wall, "Put—"

Some kind of cold touch touched his neck, and the voice of the fat yamen servant disappeared instantly.

"Tell them to stop." Bo Ling said softly, "Don't embarrass me."

"All... give me all... stop..."

Following this subtle and vain voice, Bo Ling walked slowly to the middle of the yard with the fat yamen servant on his back.

"Stop...stop...you hear me?" The fat yamen servant fluttered his hands in a panic, "Stop beating, step back to the side."

The yamen servants who had been being beaten all the time retreated to both sides with relief.

"There are also archers." Bo Ling said coldly.

"There are also archers!" The fat yamen servant quickly added.

"Let them prepare a carriage." Bai Ling said softly.

"Go... to prepare a carriage..."

Bo Ling suddenly exerted force on his hand, "I can't hear you."

"Prepare a carriage! Hurry up and prepare a carriage—" the fat yamen servant cried, "What are you doing here, go!"

He rolled his eyes back a little flatteringly, "This...what does this young master want?"

"I still need a rope and a ball of gag." Bo Ling said softly.

……

Obviously, yesterday he was an ordinary traveler, but today he became a villain who hijacked officials. Mu Cheng's mood was a bit complicated.

The fat yamen servant was tied up and thrown into the carriage, like a wriggling fat bug.

Li Yiru looked very excited, holding tightly in his arms an official knife picked up from the small courtyard just now, as if he was completely unaware of how bad he was doing.

The carriage suddenly staggered and began to accelerate.

"Where are we going now?" Mu Cheng looked outside at Bai Ling, who was waving his whip and driving the car.

"The gate of the western city."

"At this time, the gate of the city must have been closed. If you go there, you will die." Mu Cheng said.

"I know," Bo Ling said softly, "we are going to jump off the train."

"Varied--"

Before Mu Cheng finished speaking, Bai Ling had already disappeared from his position.

Seeing this, Li Yiru got up quickly. Just as he was about to jump down, he suddenly remembered that he didn't have much skill, and turned around, "Brother Mu, will you take me for a ride?"

With a dark face, Mu Cheng sighed. He glanced at the fat yamen servant whose official hat had rolled off again, and helped him pick it up, and put it on the half-bald head again.

"I'm sorry." Mu Cheng said softly, then grabbed Li Yiru's shoulder and jumped out of the car.

After a while, an unmanned carriage slowly stopped in the west city.

The officers and soldiers at the city gate had already received the news, and they were waiting in battle. After several rounds of probing, they finally stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

The fat yamen servant raised his head with tears streaming down his face, and uttered an inexplicable cry for help.

……

Mu Cheng followed behind Bai Ling, and the three of them walked cautiously in the deep alley in the early morning.

He felt a little regretful, if he hadn't been so cautious at the beginning, and instead of waiting for most of the people to rest in the middle of the night before leaving, he would have slipped away first, and they might all have fallen asleep in some ruined temple by now.

"Did you leave your real names when you made the deposit?" Bo Ling asked.

"No." Mu Cheng and Li Yiru replied in unison.

The three of them were a little surprised for a while——

Mucheng himself was cautious, and under the circumstances at that time, it was understandable that he would hold back... Li Yiru, who is so thick-browed and big-eyed, was also wary!

Several people laughed for a while.

"What's your name?" Mu Cheng looked at Bai Ling, "I never asked your name."

Just as Bo Ling wanted to report his pseudonym on the road guide, Li Yiru had already answered, "His surname is Wei!"

Bo Ling froze for a moment, "Why?"

"There is a word Wei on the handle of your dagger," Li Yiru said with a smile, "I saw it just now!"

Bo Ling blinked his eyes - this guy not only seems to have sharp ears, but also sharp eyes.

"Wei what?" Mu Cheng asked.

"...Wei Songqing." Bai Ling replied, and then added, "Pine and cypress are evergreen."

This is probably another pseudonym, but it doesn't matter, it's good to have a code name that can be called when you are out of the house.

"What are you going to do next?" Mu Cheng asked.

"Find a place to hide first." Bai Ling said softly, "I'll go to the Yongping Escort when the sun rises."
