I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

In the end, Uncle Geng chose to give up waiting and planned to go back to Chen Chuxue to discuss it. After all, she was smart and had many ideas.

And if Lu Shan and the two come back together, he may not be able to defeat them instantly.

So, Uncle Geng restored the things and didn't take away the portraits even after thinking about it. After all, the government officials were looking for people everywhere, and I'm afraid they had already drawn many portraits.

Uncle Geng left quickly, but what it didn't expect was that not long after he left, Lu Shan and others came back.

"Ok?"

When Lu Shan returned to the room, he suddenly frowned, as if he noticed something. He subconsciously picked up his baggage, opened it, and suddenly his face became a little ugly.

Chen Chuxue's portrait was placed at the innermost part of the baggage, but now it is placed at the top. Someone has obviously moved it.

"Damn, someone came in?"

Thinking of this, his heart sank, and he packed up his things decisively, then cleaned up the traces and left the house.

We can no longer stay here, so we have to find another place to hide.

However, for his own sake, the government officials were searching for people everywhere and might find him, so he really couldn't find a suitable hiding place for a while.

He originally wanted to hide in the nearby room. After all, the most dangerous place was the safest place.

However, he knew that Magistrate Guo was not a fool and could not just search that house. If he hid nearby, he would be falling into a trap.

Yes, he suspected that the person who came in was arranged by Magistrate Guo, and planned to find evidence from him.

Fortunately, he was smart and hid it long ago.

otherwise……

Unfortunately, he did not expect that the visitors were not arranged by Magistrate Guo, but Chen Chuxue and others.

"what?"

Chen Chuxue was surprised when she heard that the portrait in the man's hand was hers.

Aunt Geng and others were also a little shocked, "In other words, those government officials are also looking for Xiaoxue now?"

"Yes!"

"Why?" Chen Chuxue frowned, "Who is that person? I don't seem to have offended him!"

"Could it be from your side?"

Aunt Geng had something to say. She also knew Chen Chuxue's identity and thought of the dirty things of those aristocratic families, so she spoke tactfully.

When Chen Chuxue first learned the identity of the original person, she also speculated on this situation. The reason why the original person escaped may be because of the relationship between her parents.

I didn't expect it to be so serious.

Either County Magistrate Chen sent someone to kill him.

For example, do you think she is a shame or something?

Or maybe her mother was a concubine, and then the head wife sent someone to kill her or something like that.

No matter what it is, Chen Chuxue's plan to go to the south to recognize her relatives may have to end early.

"It doesn't have to be your parents, it could be someone else..." Aunt Geng saw Chen Chuxue's expression and comforted her.

For example, her parents loved him very much, but for some reason, they had to send her away.

And the person who is chasing her may be an enemy, but her parents don't know about it, etc.

"Instead of being so troubled, it's better to catch that person. He must know something." Uncle Geng said.

"That's right." Chen Chuxue's eyes lit up, "Instead of thinking wildly, it's better to catch the person and ask him about the situation."

Thinking of this, Chen Chuxue couldn't wait to leave with Uncle Geng.

Soon they arrived at the place where Lu Shan was hiding. Uncle Geng looked at each other and knocked on the door.

As soon as Lu Shan opened the door, he would directly attack with a crossbow, not to kill him, but to make him lose his ability to resist. However, the two knocked on the door, but there was no response. Chen Chuxue even used a drone to check. There was no ambush behind the door and there was no movement in the yard.

Bang!

Uncle Geng kicked the door open and broke into the house. The house was very quiet and no one seemed to be there.

The two looked at each other with a bad feeling. They quickly rushed into the house. Sure enough, there was no one inside.

Obviously, Lu Shan seemed to have discovered it and had already moved away.

"hateful!"

Uncle Geng was a little angry, smashed the table angrily, and looked at Chen Chuxue with some annoyance.

"Xiaoxue, it's all my fault. It's all my fault for alerting the enemy."

"If I had known earlier, I would have guarded here, caught the person and then gone back."

Chen Chuxue shook her head, "It's okay, Uncle Geng. It's not your fault. Who could have predicted such a thing."

Although she was a little disappointed, she didn't blame Uncle Geng. Besides, who knew that if she caught Lu Shan, she would be able to get useful information from him?

The two returned to their hiding place empty-handed. Aunt Geng looked at the ugly expressions on the two men's faces and felt a little worried.

"what happened?"

"People ran away!"

Uncle Geng felt a little guilty and said, "I should have alerted the enemy before."

"It's okay." Chen Chuxue said with a smile, "Anyway, the county seat is sealed, and that person can't escape."

"Besides, it doesn't matter even if you can't catch him. You'll know when you go to Jiangnan!"

Aunt Geng was a little surprised, "Xiaoxue, what do you mean..."

Chen Chuxue did not answer, but looked at them, "Uncle Geng, Aunt Geng, what do you mean?"

"I plan to settle down in Jiangnan. I will first go to the Chen family to check and confirm the situation. If the Chen family wants to kill me, it doesn't matter whether I am a relative or not. I will take Xiaoyue to settle down somewhere else in Jiangnan..."

Uncle Geng looked at each other, then smiled and said, "As long as you don't dislike us, Xiaoxue, we will naturally follow you."

"Well."

"By the way, Sister Chuxue."

Geng Xiaoyan suddenly thought of something, "Sister Chuxue, that man told the county magistrate that he wanted you. Wouldn't it be very dangerous for you to go to the county magistrate again?"

Because Miss Guo's illness has not been completely cured, Chen Chuxue still has to return to the Guo Mansion, and she has to ask the county magistrate to agree to her request.

"It's okay." Chen Chuxue waved her hand, "After I put on makeup, I look completely different from myself..."

Cosmetics with rear vision can transform into another person with the help of "magic" spread online.

In fact, as long as a girl changes her hairstyle and puts on makeup, she will be a different person, and only people who are very familiar with her will recognize her.

But Magistrate Guo and the others relied on portraits. How could ancient portraits be as good as photos?

Therefore, the likeness is only 70-80% at most. In that case, it would be impossible to recognize her with makeup.

After all, Lu Shan didn't recognize her when he was holding the portrait.

Now she is a little lucky that she was not recognized by Lu Shan because she put on makeup at that time, otherwise, she might have been killed by Lu Shan at that time.

"Moreover, if our backup plan fails, we can only leave with the help of County Magistrate Guo..."

The backup plan was to find evidence of Magistrate Guo's corruption from Lu Shan and threaten him. Unexpectedly, he discovered such a big secret.

More importantly, no evidence was obtained from Lu Shan, and Lu Shan doesn't know where he is hiding now.

Therefore, we can only go to County Magistrate Guo. After all, he said that as long as his daughter is cured, he can make any request.
