    ☆.Where can the little thief run 16

    Because the pursuers were behind them, Yao Ji and Bai Muzhi worked hard. On the second day, they finally reached the small border town in front of Yumen Pass. As long as they left Yumen Pass, to the west was the vast Gobi Desert and the dotted countries of the Western Regions. No matter how unwilling Gao Ji was, he could not do anything to Yao Ji.

    At that time, the Celestial Empire had been at war with the Western Regions for many years. Although the war had calmed down in recent years and there was a lot of trade between the two sides, if they wanted to leave the country, they were still subject to strict inspections.But this was not difficult for Bai Muzhi. He had already asked his friends to get the customs clearance documents, and he and Yao Ji disguised themselves as merchants going west. With his disguise skills, even if Yao Ji’s biological parents were standing in front of him, they would not recognize that this was the third wife of the Chu family.

    Yao Ji felt relieved and when she was about to leave the border, she heard that the court was pursuing two extremely important criminals and no one would be allowed to pass through the border for five days.

    In this way, they had no choice but to settle down in this small town.Fortunately, it only lasted five days. The officers and soldiers searched the streets and alleys all day long, but they could not find them.Yao Ji often looked at the group of people searching around with Bai Muzhi’s portrait. Bai Muzhi stood in front of them, and they didn’t realize it, and they didn’t think it was funny.

    Bai Muzhi also found it interesting: “The senior who taught me this skill said that you don’t need to know martial arts or carry a sword when traveling in the world, but Qinggong and disguise are extremely important.”

    “This senior you are talking about is your master?” Yao Ji asked him curiously.

    Bai Muzhi shook his head: “Although he taught me a lot, he refused to accept me as his disciple. He only said that my martial arts did not come from him, and he would not take advantage of others.” As if recalling something interesting, the man couldn’t help but smile, “he also said that if he accepted me as his apprentice, he would have to teach me more things. He is not willing to take advantage of me in vain.”

    “This senior is quite interesting,” Yao Ji said with a smile, “Just based on this sentence, in my opinion, the two of you are probably very similar,” she couldn’t help but think of another person with the same temperament, and sighed, “My second uncle is also like this… Everyone in the family said that he has no integrity, and my father always hated him, but later he left home and never came back. I know that my father actually regrets it very much.”

    “Then…why did he leave home?”

    “I was still young at that time, so I didn’t know much about the details,” Yao Ji recalled. “I only heard family members talking about it, saying that he was for a woman…”

    This matter was considered a secret that could not be discussed in the Chu family. After Chu Feng left and never came back, Yao Ji made many inquiries and found out that he was determined to marry a woman from the Jianghu that day. Not only did the woman have a complicated life experience, but she was also a gangster witch with a lot of blood debts.The Chu family has been a famous family for generations, and Chu Feng’s wandering in the world is deviant. How could such a woman be allowed to be the daughter-in-law of the Chu family?Pian Chufeng was young and energetic at that time, crazy about love, and in a rage he ran away from home with the woman, never to return.

    Now six years have passed, and Yao Ji sometimes feels sad when she thinks back to her childhood mentor.

    “I always think that since he has not been home for so many years, he must be living a good life, so he has never been nostalgic.” Yao Ji said softly.

    After a moment of silence, Bai Muzhi suddenly said: “Then have you ever thought about it, maybe… It’s not that he doesn’t want to go home, it’s that he can’t go back.”

    Yao Ji was startled, and was about to ask Bai Muzhi why he said this, when she suddenly heard the people around her exclaim in surprise. In the blue sky, a sea turtle fell straight down from the clouds. It arrived only a few feet away from Yao Ji, then spread its wings, turned over and landed on her shoulder. She couldn’t help being surprised and happy: “Lian Xiao!”

    It turns out that this Haidongqing was raised by Chu Feng back then. Later, after he left home, Yao Ji took it over and continued to raise it. One person and one bird can be said to be very close.It wasn’t until Yao Ji was forced to go to Lingbo Temple to practice cultivation that she was left in the Chu family.Yao Ji thought she would never see this bird again, but today was an unexpected surprise.

    It’s just that she is intelligent by nature and reacts immediately after being happy. Lian Xiao was raised in the Chu family. Although he was trained by her to be very humane, how could he sneak out to find her?She immediately said vigilantly: “What happened, it must be Gao Zhi!” Gao Zhi must have thought that she and Bai Muzhi could disguise themselves, so he used Lian Xiao to find her.

    Bai Muzhi said: “Don’t worry, there is nothing unusual around.”

    Only then did Yao Ji feel relieved, but she was afraid that it was Gao Zhi’s plan to lure the snake out of its hole. Although she was reluctant to part with Lian Xiao, she knew the priorities and was about to let her love bird go. Suddenly she saw a small copper flute tied to its paw. She took it off and opened it. There was a letter inside.

    The handwriting on the letter looked familiar. She looked at it carefully, and the more she read, the more frightened she became. After reading it, she was able to confirm who wrote the letter – it was Chu Feng who left home six years ago.

    “What’s written in the letter?” Bai Muzhi asked after seeing that she had finished reading.

    Yao Ji was startled, and subconsciously packed the letter together: “It was written by Gao Zhen,” she said lightly, “I must have seen that force was useless and planned to use friendship to impress me.”

    Bai Muzhi had been spending time with her, and he also knew that the relationship between her and Gao Zhi was in chaos, so he considerately stopped asking questions.Yao Ji couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief. The letter in her palm was crumpled into a ball, and her palms were sweaty.

    She is sure that the handwriting on the letter is Chu Feng’s, and is the credible content true or false?Yao Ji didn’t want to doubt it, and recalled that when Bai Mu first came to Lingbo Temple, he tried every means to hold on to the matter, and her heart tightened.She tried her best to pretend that nothing happened, and casually asked Bai Muzhi: “Muzhi, I think I asked you before if you know my second uncle.”

    “I did ask.” Bai Muzhi nodded.

    “Then you… really don’t know?”

    The man’s expression remained unchanged, but Yao Ji noticed that he lowered his eyes slightly, spoke calmly, and said with a smile: “I don’t know.”
