Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 22 Out of the City
For several days, Li Wenxuan was bored in this ruined temple. Qiu Shan went out every day to inquire about news as usual, and always shook his head when he came back. It was not until the third day that this changed.

"It seems that a lot of people at the city gates have been withdrawn today, and the investigation is not as strict as the previous few days. It seems that they must think that we have left the city." Qiu Shan said.

"In this case, can we leave here today?" Li Wenxuan was both happy and anxious.

Qiu Shan said again: "You are a big man, why are you so anxious?"

"I—" Li Wenxuan was on the verge of speaking, but was choked back by Qiu Shan.

"Let's wait one more day and go out of the city tomorrow. It's more appropriate. It's just...it's just a pity that I am a white horse." Qiu Shan sighed.

"What happened to the white horse?" Li Wenxuan asked.

"Are you stupid? This big white horse is so conspicuous. If you walk around the market, people will recognize us immediately." After Qiu Shan finished speaking, he gave Li Wenxuan another look.

"You—you always talk about me, I don't know why I'm asking you." Li Wenxuan said angrily, "Then what are you going to do with this white horse?"

"I have a friend here in Luzhou, so I have to foster the white horse at his home first, and take it away later." Qiu Shan's tone was quite reluctant.

"If this matter subsides in the future, it's good to keep your horse in my house, and I promise to raise it for you." Li Wenxuan said.

"You? By the way, you haven't settled the debt you owed me! Tell me, what should you do!" Qiu Shan stared at Li Wenxuan after finishing speaking.

Li Wenxuan didn't expect Qiu Shan to pick up on this talk again, and argued: "It's not all my fault, you still pinched me, the place where you pinched me is still black and green! If you don't believe me, look at it." Li Wenxuan said After finishing, he had to lift up his clothes to show Qiu Shan.

"Forget it, forget it, anyway, you owe me, let's not argue with you now, let's talk about it when we get out of the city!" After Qiu Shan finished speaking, he turned his face away.

Li Wenxuan said again: "Going out of the city...how about this, Brother Qiu, living here these days is hard work, if you don't mind, come and stay at my house for a few days after you leave the city, I will eat for nothing these days I'm embarrassed to drink yours for nothing, I think your personality will fit well with my father and Uncle Tie!"

"Really? Well, okay, that's it. In fact, I also want to get to know your father, your kung fu, and your sword. Your father must not be an ordinary person." Qiu Shan looked at the Qing Dynasty in Li Wenxuan's hand. Shuang readily agreed.

"Well, good! My father is very powerful, and I can let him teach you two tricks." Li Wenxuan said excitedly.

"It's fine to teach two tricks, I already have a 'good' master." Qiu Shan said, a trace of melancholy flashed across his expression
Another day later, both Li Wenxuan and Qiu Shan woke up early, Qiu Shan put the white horse first, and changed their clothes to avoid being discovered by others, and the two of them ran towards the south gate of Luzhou City together.

When they arrived at the city gate, there were only soldiers on guard at the city gate, and there was no official post to check the passers-by. Both of them were very surprised.Li Wenxuan asked: "Brother Qiu, didn't you say that there are still people who are interrogating? Why is this city gate so deserted today?"

Qiu Shan was also puzzled, and said: "This...is not quite right, maybe it was intentional, and it might trick us into taking the bait. You wait here first, and I will go forward to try it out." After Qiu Shan finished speaking, he was about to face the city gate go.

Li Wenxuan grabbed Qiu Shan's arm and said, "Brother Qiu, you can't, why don't I go and have a look? You are the one who came out to inquire about the news these days, so let me do something for you today, or you may feel uncomfortable. I’m sorry, but if I’m fine in the past, you’ll follow me.” Li Wenxuan walked straight towards the city gate without waiting for Qiu Shan to speak.

In the past few days, Li Wenxuan was really sorry. He lost his purse, and all the food and drink belonged to Qiu Shan, and Qiu Shan went out every day to inquire about news, but he was hiding in the ruined temple. After doing it, I feel ashamed in my heart, and—and I really hope to go home early to have a look. I have been away from home for a few days, and I don’t know what my father will worry about, so I have to try this risk by myself.

Li Wenxuan walked towards the city gate, step by step very nervous. In broad daylight, if an official wanted to take him and escape, it would be very rare, but this step had to be taken. Li Wenxuan bit his bullet and passed by the guard In front of the soldiers, his heart was already pounding, and his body seemed to be still in an instant, waiting for someone next to him to suddenly appear to stop him, but no, Li Wenxuan walked out of the city gate without any obstacles .After walking another three or four feet, Li Wenxuan wanted to turn around to say hello to Qiu Shan, but unexpectedly, Qiu Shan had already come out and stood behind him.

"Why...how did you come out so quickly? Didn't I tell you to wait for me?" Li Wenxuan was a little surprised.

"It's not just in case if there is an ambush, the two of us together, a dozen or so people can still handle it, but I didn't expect that you are so nervous, and I want to laugh when I see you trembling in front of you. I am so behind you It's been a long time, and you didn't realize it." Qiu Shan was also happy when he left the city at the moment, so he started to make fun of Li Wenxuan again.

"You—I—oh, forget it, I won't argue with you, I came out anyway." Li Wenxuan thought for a while and then said, "Brother Qiu, I don't know where you are going now? If you are not in a hurry, now Just go to my house."

Qiu Shan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's go to your house first, then...then I'll go to Lin'an."

"Lin'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven? Brother Qiu's house must belong to Lin'an, right? No wonder your speech and conversation are different from those of our small place. I even treat you like a bad face." Li Wenxuan said with a smile again.

"Why are you so annoying, asking people here and there, whether it's annoying or not, where is my house, do you want to take care of it? Didn't you say to go to your house? Why don't you go!" After Qiu Shan finished speaking, he walked straight forward.

Li Wenxuan seemed to be used to Qiu Shan's erratic temper, so he chuckled: "Brother Qiu, slow down, wait for me." Then he followed.

It was still the same road when Li Wenxuan and Qiu Shan entered the city. The two walked back the same way. Not far from Luzhou City, they saw dust flying in front of them, and many people came.

Qiu Shan tugged at Li Wenxuan's sleeve, and said: "Look at this dust, it is a horse team, and there are not a few of them. There are so many horses here, it must be an official in Luzhou City. The two of us should avoid it for a while." Good to avoid." After finishing speaking, Qiu Shan and Li Wenxuan hid in the grass beside the road together.
