Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Gu Qiongsi had no time to pay attention to her. She also knew that Bitao was simply a cash cow in Cuiyan Pavilion at this moment, and Mother Hu would not allow her to leave the building.

So she just stayed for a while and continued walking out.

However, that resentful look followed her like a leech until she walked out of Liushui Lane.

Li Junze and Wang Zhuo and a few others walked along a passage for about an incense stick of time before they found a passage leading upwards.

Wang Zhuo could no longer walk at this time and was almost carried around on a stretcher. When he got here, he had to ask everyone to step back and he went forward himself and knocked on the wooden board regularly.

There was deathly silence outside, so Wang Zhuo had to knock again. This time there was movement outside, and soon there was a rustling sound, followed by the sound of the door being unlocked.

Soon, the wooden board above was opened from the outside, and an old face appeared at the entrance.

"Master, you are finally here." The man spoke, and it was actually a young voice.

Wang Zhuo nodded, and with the help of others, he was the first to go out of the cave.

There is a teahouse outside, located on a small road near the south gate. It looks very simple and there are probably not many people coming here usually.

Although so many people suddenly appeared in the tea room, the owner of the teahouse was not panicked at all. He quickly took out a large box from under the bed, which contained clothes prepared in advance.

None of these people said much. They all changed their clothes. Only Li Junze looked at Wang Zhuo with some confusion.

The two of them didn't have any clothes to change, but what they needed now was to leave the city. Almost all the people guarding the city gates recognized their faces.

However, Wang Zhuo had already given instructions to those who had changed their clothes, asking them to disperse to several strongholds in the capital and wait for the signal, and then provide support in the city.

The strongholds that Wang Zhuo mentioned were simply the names of shops that even Li Junze had never heard of. They must have been places that Wang Zhuo had secretly prepared long ago, and they were very close to several city gates.

Gu Xunwei was the last one to come up. Her hands were tied behind her back, so it was very difficult for her to walk. She tried very hard to just keep up with the group.

The guard who was in charge of guarding her was still protecting her very carefully at this time, not letting her fall or bump into anything.

At this time, Gu Xunwei was panting and looking around the teahouse, while holding the incense pill tightly in her hand.

Because you walk fast, you sweat a lot and your body temperature rises, so the fragrance will be emitted more.

She didn't shout or make a fuss, just listened quietly as Wang Zhuo gave his orders to everyone. After they all left, only five guards and the three of them were left.

Wang Zhuo then said to the wrinkled teahouse owner, "Disguise the three of us. As long as we can get through the city gate, it will be fine."

The other party nodded and brought in a rather large box from outside the door, which contained various props.

Although Gu Xunwei was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to cooperate with their plan. In a short while, she had turned into a young man with a cheerful look.

Li Junze turned into a big man with a beard, and Wang Zhuo changed the most. He was dressed in rags and looked like an old servant doing rough work.

Due to his leg disability, he walked with a limp and looked more like an old man who suffered a lot in his daily life.

Gu Xunwei couldn't help but feel a little surprised that the owner of this small teahouse actually had such superb disguise skills that he could completely change the appearance of several people in such a short time.

What happened next was very simple. Gu Xunwei was knocked unconscious by a handkerchief they covered her with, and she became the young master of a seriously ill and impoverished family and two servants who took several people out of the city to see a doctor. They left the capital smoothly through the west gate where the guards were less strict.

They drove a shabby horse-drawn carriage, and after leaving Beijing and making a circle, they headed straight towards the foot of the Qilian Mountains.

That was the location agreed upon with the King of Yan. He had already prepared to set up camp there, and everything that followed had begun to be arranged in an orderly manner.

Li Junhao and Yan Nangui soon received feedback that traces of Wang Zhuo and others were found at the west gate, and someone had followed them in time, but unfortunately, no trace of Miss Gu was found yet.

When they were leaving the city, they didn't notice anything unusual. It was only after they had walked for a while that someone realized what was going on and thought of chasing after them.

Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned, the direction they are heading seems to be exactly at the foot of the Qilian Mountains.

Yan Nangui had already arranged people from the Dali Temple to assist in the investigation at several city gates in advance. If any suspicious people were found, they must not be exposed but must be allowed to leave and their whereabouts must be tracked secretly.

Unless Miss Gu is found, she can be stopped immediately and refused to leave the city.

This is the first news to come back and report the situation, and the few people who followed Hu Ziping and escaped have not sent back any news until now.

If possible, they would not meet up with them in Qilian Mountain, but hide somewhere in the city. In this case, it would become crucial to control these places.

Li Junhao confirmed it again in disbelief, "Did they really not take Miss Gu with them out of the city?"

"Yes, there are four people in total, all men..." The person who answered realized something was wrong after he finished speaking, and hesitantly added,

"It seems there was a man, but he fainted at the time..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Junhao had already grabbed his cloak and ran out the door quickly.

"Sang Mo, lead the horse." As he shouted, Sang Mo outside the door responded immediately.

After a while, two horse neighs were heard outside the door, followed by the sound of horse hooves, coming from near and getting farther away.

When Yan Nangui and Deputy General Niu followed them out, only the backs of the two could be seen.

"Hurry, take your men and follow them. Don't let anything happen." Yan Nangui hurriedly instructed Deputy General Niu. He was really worried that Li Junhao would get carried away and rush to the vicinity of King Yan's army without caring about anything.

If that were the case, it would be really dangerous.

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Niu knew the destination that Li Junhao and his men were going to, so after counting a few guards, they quickly followed them.

Li Junhao's horse was a fine steed that could run a thousand miles a day, and even Sang Mo's mount could not catch up. When he was riding his horse at full speed and trying to catch up with him, he finally found that Li Junhao had stopped his horse at an intersection after leaving the city, and was wandering back and forth there.
