Gu Jiao and Xuanyuan Qi rode together on one horse, making it inconvenient to hold the child. She was afraid a sudden brake would squish the baby into a meat patty.
"Old Tang, here." Gu Jiao handed the child to Tang Yueshan.
Tang Yueshan stretched his arms straight, wishing he could keep the child as far away as possible: "Can I refuse?"
Gu Jiao raised her chin proudly and said, "No!"
Tang Yueshan glanced at Xuanyuan Qi, who was as imposing as the Ghost King of Ghost Mountain, and resignedly wrapped the child around himself.
No worries, I’m about to have a godson. My godson may not be skilled in martial arts, but he’s clever. Once I rescue him, I’ll have him deal with you little demons!
Tang Yueshan thought confidently, feeling that life was becoming beautiful!
They considered two plans for leaving the city. One was to disguise themselves as merchants or commoners to blend in, but this plan was abandoned as soon as they reached the city center.
The reason was that the city was unexpectedly under lockdown. The patrols of Jin Country’s soldiers had doubled, and the silhouette of Jin soldiers was visible on every street.
Gu Jiao pondered: Did the news from Ghost Mountain reach the City Lord’s Residence? Did they think we escaped from Ghost Mountain and reinforced the city defenses to prevent us from leaving?
In any case, if the situation is this tense, it’s almost impossible to get out through the city gate.
Then we can only implement the second plan.
"You all, wait here," Xuanyuan Qi said.
Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan nodded.
Xuanyuan Qi leaped into the night.
Approximately half an hour later, he returned carrying a large bundle, which contained three sets of warm Jin army armor, along with their talismans and identity iron plaques.
"I don’t recognize the Jin Country characters. What names are written on these?" Gu Jiao muttered.
"Don’t look at me, I don’t recognize them either," Tang Yueshan said.
Gu Jiao sat on the horse, tilting her head towards Xuanyuan Qi. Her sparkling eyes seemed to say, don’t you recognize them? The erudite second Shadow Master?
Xuanyuan Qi took the iron plaques and exaggeratedly loosened his grip, letting them fall into a crack in the ground: "Oh dear, they fell."
Gu Jiao had a helpless expression.
You actually don’t recognize them, do you!
Their purpose is typically to identify bodies after battle, and they aren’t checked regularly. It doesn’t matter if they’re lost.
