The sword almost touched Xie Jue's face, missing it by only an inch. Xie Jue did not move at all. He was used to swords and was not afraid. Suddenly I heard hurried footsteps outside, "Brother Wang, we found their traces."

The yamen servants in the woodshed instantly dispersed and left one after another. The maids outside the door breathed a sigh of relief and continued washing. The hostess waited for the yamen servants to leave and cursed. The door of the woodshed was closed again. Fang Chuning jumped down lightly. He landed firmly on the ground, pulled away the dry straw, and shouted softly, "Listen to the wind..."

After the straw was removed, the light in the room fell. Xie Jue's angry eyes were dark and bright. Fang Chuning was dazzled for a moment and looked at him blankly.

So lovely!

How can anyone look better when they're angry?

Xie Jue gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing here? Why don't you pull me out?"

"Oh..." Fang Chuning came back to his senses and reached out to pull Xie Jue out. When he pulled Xie Jue out, he knew why Xie Jue was angry. Fang Chuning saw that in the passage where Xie Jue was hiding, a fat mouse was stabbed with a dagger. Plug it into the ground.

Fang Chuning, "..."

No wonder he was so angry!

"Are you okay?" Fang Chuning asked tentatively, "That dagger is for your self-defense, right? I'll take it out and wash it."

"I don't want it anymore!" Xie Jue had just been crawled by a mouse on his instep and smelled a strange smell. The mouse actually bit his calf. In any case, he would not want this dagger again.

"Fine!"

They spoke so quietly that the maids washing outside the door did not hear them. The two of them had been hiding in the woodshed. After the maids left, Fang Chuning and Xie Jue secretly climbed over the wall and left the yard. The government officials no longer knew where to search for them. There was no one in the alley and it was silent. Fang Chuning and Xie Jue walked out of the alley and saw their portraits posted at the market entrance. They became wanted criminals and were hunted down throughout the entire process.

This was not the first time that Xie Jue was hunted by people all over the city. He also experienced the feeling of being searched from top to bottom in Fox City back then. There was really no way to hide. He had to disguise himself as a stone in the ice and snow and almost froze to death in the wild. Magistrate Zhou led the government officials to search the city. The Ningzhou cavalry hadn't arrived yet. Xie Jue and Fang Chuning couldn't show their faces. They had to find a safe place. They hid at the entrance of the alley and looked towards the city gate. The officers and soldiers guarding the city carefully checked the people leaving the city.

Fang Chuning propped his head, "We have left the city to hide for two days, and the Ningzhou cavalry should arrive. How can we leave if the interrogation is so strict?"

The search was very slow, so people leaving the city formed a long queue. Xie Jue raised his eyebrows, "Have you got the idea? They are only questioning men."

Fang Chuning was confused, "So?"

"You pretend to be a woman, and we pretend to be a couple going out of town to seek medical treatment?" "I pretend to be a woman?" Fang Chuning took a breath, "How do you think I look like a girl?"

"It's not the first time I'm pretending."

"what?"

"That's it. You play the wife, I play the husband, and we go out of town together." Xie Jue made the final decision. Fang Chuning had no idea how stunning he was as a woman.

"Why, since it's a man pretending to be a woman, then you pretend to be a woman and I'll play the husband." He will definitely not suffer this loss. If he pretends to be a woman, he will definitely be laughed at by Xie Jue for the rest of his life.

His pride doesn't allow it!

"I will never crossdress as a woman to my death!"

Fang Chuning's strong protest confused Xie Jue. When he was in Beiman, he was very comfortable playing women, and he had never seen Fang Chuning feel uncomfortable at all.

Even at a palace banquet, Dugu Jing deliberately made things difficult for Fang Chuning and asked him to choose the Northern Barbarian dance. Fang Chuning danced without saying a word. He didn't know when Fang Chuning practiced the Northern Barbarian dance. His waist was as soft as a water snake. He looks like a man and dances lightly. Except for his extremely tall figure, you can't tell that he is a man at all.

Back then, he pretended to be Lan Ningzhen and was never recognized. The main reason was that most Northern Barbarian men were thick and stout, while Fang Chuning was tall and slender, more like a tall and fit Northern Barbarian woman.

"You've worn red makeup."

"Nonsense, you're bullying me into losing my memory. Are you talking nonsense?"

Xie Jue was silent, and Fang Chuning stood with his arms crossed, "Anyway, you have to dress up as a man, don't expect me to do it."

"...Okay!" Xie Jue took a deep breath, "I'll do it!"

Fang Chuning's eyes lit up, "...Wow!"
