Chapter 247 Suddenly thought of someone
At the same time, Huo Wan'er and Zheng Qianzhi were hiding everywhere in the city. They knew that the entire Bianyun Pass was searching for them, and it would not be easy to escape.
"Zheng Qianzhi, what should we do now?" Huo Wan'er looked at Zheng Qianzhi, her face full of worry.
"Let's find a secluded place to hide first, and then find a way to get out of the city." Zheng Qianzhi pondered for a moment and said slowly.
The two found a hidden abandoned house and hid inside carefully.
Unexpectedly, just as they hid in, the patrolling yamen runners arrived and were about to come to their hiding place. Zheng Qianzhi pulled Huo Wan'er and carefully covered her mouth. The two of them looked at the yamen runners outside through the gap.
"They wouldn't come to a place like this, would they?"
"Who knows? We better search thoroughly!"
Seeing the bailiffs getting closer and closer, Zheng Qianzhi's heart began to lift, and he couldn't help but increase the strength of his grip on Huo Wan'er's hand.
Huo Wan'er felt pain but didn't dare make any sound. She could only endure the pain and let Zheng Qianzhi hold her.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and then a familiar voice sounded in the ears of Zheng Qianzhi and Huo Wan'er.
"Sir, there's something going on over there!"
Hearing this voice, Zheng Qianzhi and Huo Wan'er were both stunned. Then, they saw the yamen runners who were originally walking towards them turned around and ran towards the source of the voice.
Zheng Qianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Huo Wan'er out of the abandoned house.
"That was a close call just now." Zheng Qianzhi looked at Huo Wan'er and said.
Huo Wan'er nodded without saying anything. The situation just now was indeed dangerous. If it weren't for that sudden voice, they would have been discovered.
"What should we do now?" Huo Wan'er looked at Zheng Qianzhi and asked.
"Let's leave here first." Zheng Qianzhi pondered for a moment and said, "The sound just now might be someone deliberately trying to divert the attention of the yamen runners. We can't miss this opportunity."
The two men crossed the street carefully, trying to avoid the crowds and patrolling yamen runners.
After some twists and turns, they finally arrived at the gate of Bianyun Pass.
The two men stood in a dark alley, looking at the city gate which had been heavily patrolled, their faces looking grim.
"The city gates are so strictly checked now, we can't get out at all." Huo Wan'er said with a worried look on her face.
Zheng Qianzhi didn't say anything, but looked solemnly in the direction of the city gate.
He knew it wasn't easy to get out, but he was going to try anyway.
Zheng Qianzhi retracted his gaze and turned to look at Huo Wan'er: "Wait here for me, I'll think of a solution."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wan'er immediately pulled Zheng Qianzhi with a nervous look on her face: "Where are you going? I'll go with you!"
"Don't worry, I'm just going to think of a solution. Nothing will happen." Zheng Qianzhi gently patted the back of Huo Wan'er's hand and said softly, "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Although Huo Wan'er was reluctant, she still let go.
Zheng Qianzhi came out of the dark alley and did not go directly to the city gate, but ran towards the Huo family's mansion, but it was the same as he guessed.
At this time, the Huo Mansion had been surrounded by soldiers, and all the servants inside were escorted out, lined up in a row, and were being interrogated one by one.
Zheng Qianzhi was hiding in the corner. When he saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened.
Now that he couldn’t get into the Huo Mansion, he originally wanted to go to the Huo Mansion’s garden to see if he could call out Lin Congyun.
If I shout it out, and borrow Lin Congyun's treasure, it would be easy to get out of Bianyun Pass.
but……
Hey……
Zheng Qianzhi sighed helplessly, his heart full of disappointment.
At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, walking out of the Huo Mansion.
At this moment, Zheng Qianzhi suddenly thought of someone and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He quickly and quietly left the door of the Huo Mansion and ran in another direction.
After a while, Zheng Qianzhi came to a remote house, looked around, and then went forward and knocked on the door.
Zheng Qianzhi stood in front of the slightly mottled wooden door, feeling both nervous and expectant.
The door creaked softly, then slowly opened, and an old man stuck his head out.
The old man's eyes flashed with some doubt and vigilance. Seeing that it was Zheng Qianzhi, his expression eased a little, but he still lowered his voice and asked, "Master, you are here so late, is there something urgent?"
Zheng Qianzhi said earnestly, "Uncle Chen, I have an urgent matter to ask for your help. The city gates are blocked and the Huo Mansion is surrounded. It is difficult for us to escape. I wonder if you can lend us a hand?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen frowned slightly and looked towards the empty alley behind Zheng Qianzhi, as if assessing the seriousness of the situation.
After a moment, he sighed softly and moved aside to make way for her: "Come in, this is not the place to talk."
Zheng Qianzhi quickly slipped inside, Uncle Chen quickly closed the door, and the two walked one after the other into the depths of the house.
Uncle Chen was the person arranged by the Zheng family to be stationed at Bianyun Pass. Generally, they would not contact him unless there was something important.
Then, Uncle Chen took Zheng Qianzhi to a secret room.
This secret room is hidden, and if it weren't for Uncle Chen's guidance, Zheng Qianzhi would probably have found it difficult to find it.
The furnishings in the secret room were simple, but there was a mysterious atmosphere. Zheng Qianzhi looked around and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Uncle Chen lit an oil lamp, and the dim light and shadows swayed on the walls of the secret room.
He turned to look at Zheng Qianzhi and asked in a serious tone: "Master, what happened? Why did you end up like this?"
Zheng Qianzhi did not dare to hide anything and told Uncle Chen the whole story.
After listening to this, Uncle Chen was silent for a long time before he asked, "Young Master, what you mean is that Governor Huo is missing now, and you and Miss Huo went to inquire about it, and accidentally killed the master?"
"That's right." Zheng Qianzhi nodded with a bitter face, "Now the soldiers are arresting us everywhere, and we really have nowhere to go."
Uncle Chen fell into deep thought again. Zheng Qianzhi did not dare to disturb him and could only wait anxiously by the side.
After a long while, Uncle Chen raised his head and said, "Young Master, do you remember when the old master was alive, he mentioned a friend in the underworld?"
Zheng Qianzhi was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up: "Are you talking about Uncle Mo?"
"That's right." Uncle Chen nodded. "Hero Mo travels around the world and has a deep friendship with the master. He has a unique skill, he is good at disguise, he can help people change their appearance and hide their whereabouts."
Zheng Qianzhi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Uncle Chen, what you mean is..."
"We can ask for help from Master Mo." Uncle Chen's eyes flashed with determination, "However, Master Mo's whereabouts are secretive, so it's not easy to find him."
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will give it a try." Zheng Qianzhi said with clenched fists.
