The next morning, before the sun rose, everything was in darkness.

City Lord's Mansion.

"Yue Er, wake up …" "Yue Er …" Liu Yunqi gently shook Yue'er and said softly.

"En ~ Big Brother Yunqi, don't disturb me ~ Yue'er wants to sleep ~" Yue'er said in a frenzy.

"Yue'er, wake up ~ We're leaving ~" Liu Yunqi said as he lightly patted her small face.

Seeing that Yue'er still had not woken up, and could only sigh helplessly, Liu Yunqi could only gently pinch Yue'er's nose and wait quietly.

"Whew ~ Whew ~ ~"

Not long after, Yue'er started to use her mouth to breathe. Liu Yunqi speechlessly used his hand to cover Yue'er's mouth as he waited quietly.

Not long later

"Pah!"

Yue'er's face was flushed red, she opened her eyes and slapped away Liu Yunqi's hands, breathing in large mouthfuls of air as she stared at Liu Yunqi unhappily, "Big Brother Yunqi, what were you doing waking me up so early in the morning?! "I haven't had enough sleep yet …"

Without waiting for Yue'er to finish speaking, Liu Yunqi covered Yue'er's mouth, and made a silent gesture: "We're going. As she spoke, she took out a piece of coarse cloth and placed it in Yue Er's hands.

Yue'er looked at the clothes in her hands, disdainfully throwing them onto the ground. She said in a spoiled manner, "These clothes are so ugly and coarse. There's even a smell on them. I don't want to wear them."

"Yue'er, be good. We'll be relying on it to get out of the city later. If you don't wear it, we won't be able to get out," Liu Yunqi said softly as he picked it up again.

"But these clothes are very dirty …" Yue'er said, feeling wronged.

"Yue Er be good! Once we leave the city, we will immediately change out of this set of clothes. Why don't we endure for now?" Liu Yunqi said.

"Must you wear this? No other clothes? " Yue Er pouted.

"There's only this one, be good ~ You just have to leave the city gate ~ Endure it for now ~" Liu Yunqi rubbed Yue'er's head and said.

"Alright ~"

Half an hour later.

Carrying Yue'er on his back, Liu Yunqi jumped out of the window, landed in a small alley, and quickly ran into the distance.

In the study of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord was drawing with a brush in his hand. A voice came from outside the door.

"City Lord, they've fled."

When the young lady finished talking to the city lord last night, the city lord had already sent people to monitor Liu Yunqi's room to prevent them from escaping.

"Yes, I understand. Pass down the order, all city gates must prohibit children under the age of twelve from leaving the city." Also, send someone to give Marquis Cao some information, and give the two children an appropriate amount of help when the time is right. " The mayor said.

"Yes sir!"

"It's not over yet, how can I let you leave so easily? "Future son-in-law …" The mayor's hand continued to move, the corner of his mouth curving up into a faint smile.

At this moment, on the street.

Liu Yunqi was currently holding Yue'er's hand and walking forward, and a burst of fragrance floated by.

Yue'er wrinkled her nose, looked towards the breakfast stand at the side, and immediately became envious: "Big Brother Yunqi, I'm hungry ~"

"Alright, then let's eat first before we continue our journey."

Rubbing Yue'er's head, they went to a nearby stall to eat something while replenishing some rations.

Preparing to continue on the road

"Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! You! Look carefully! All the children, do not let any one of them go! "

Liu Yunqi's heart stirred as he hurriedly brought Yue'er to hide in a small alley beside him.

A bald headed man walked in front of him. Wasn't he the one that was kicked to pieces by Liu Yunqi last night?

"He actually recovered so quickly. In a sense, he's really powerful …" Seeing this person, Liu Yunqi was also a little surprised.

Behind the bald man was a group of people charging toward them. Their eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, and whenever they saw an eight or nine-year-old child, they would grab him and interrogate him. They ignored the family's pleas for help, and roughly pushed him to the side, not caring at all whether the children were injured or not.

Liu Yunqi clenched his teeth and fists tightly: "These bastards!"

"Those bastards!" When Yue'er saw them bullying little children, she gritted her teeth and prepared to charge out and teach them a lesson.

But just as she was about to rush out, she was stopped by Liu Yunqi.

"Big brother Yunqi, why did you stop me? I'm going to teach them a lesson!"

"Yue Er, don't be rash. If you rush out, we will be exposed."

"But …" We can't just watch them bully people! " Yue Er said.

"Those people's target is us, those children will be fine. If we go out, it will be dangerous." As he spoke, Liu Yunqi pulled Yue'er and hid into the alleyway.

There were also people searching for their tracks within the alleyway. There were a few times when Liu Yunqi and Yue'er almost bumped into them.

The two of them arrived at the city gate safely. They were not in a hurry to leave the city, so they hid to the side and carefully observed the changes in the city gate.

A team of soldiers and several guards from Marquis Cao's house were guarding the city gate. Whenever someone wanted to bring a child out of the city, they would first be interrogated by Marquis Cao's guards, and after they were allowed out, they would be stopped by the city guards. The only reason was that they were afraid that the assassin who tried to assassinate the viscount last night would sneak out in the chaos.

Such a far-fetched reason left everyone speechless.

Liu Yunqi stared at the city gate and frowned: "Crap! I think it was too much last night, and now it's hard to even get out of the city. "

"Big brother Yunqi, what should we do?" Yue Er nervously asked.

Not wanting to cause too much trouble, Liu Yunqi said, "Let's go back first, we'll think of a way tonight."

After saying that, the two of them slowly retreated back into the alleyway.

Before they had taken a few steps back, Liu Yunqi's and Yue'er's backs bumped into something hard. Their bodies stiffened as they simultaneously looked behind them.

At some point in time, the bald man and his subordinates had appeared behind Liu Yunqi and Yue Yang, and were looking down at them from above.

"Large... Master, what's the matter? " Protecting Yue'er behind him, Liu Yunqi looked vigilantly at the bald man.

"What are you doing?" The bald man looked at them with a dark expression.

"Lord, my little brother and I were just about to return after passing by here." Liu Yunqi said.

"Passing by?" The bald man frowned, reached out his hand towards Liu Yunqi and grabbed him.

Liu Yunqi took a step back in alarm: "Master, what are you trying to do?"

"Yo?!" You even know how to resist? Brothers, capture them. " Just as he said that, the people behind the bald man rushed forward and surrounded Liu Yunqi and the other two.

Liu Yunqi saw that the situation wasn't right, so he pulled Yue'er and ran.

"Chase after him!" The bald man saw that Liu Yunqi had ran away, his face darkened and took the lead to chase after them.

A few people chased after me on the street and quickly attracted the attention of the City Guard. Team after team of City Guard s rushed over and grabbed Liu Yunqi.

Seeing that the City Guard in front was blocking the way, Liu Yunqi nimbly rushed into the small alley beside him, and started running with Yue'er.

After running for a moment, he realized that there was no movement behind him. He turned around to look.

When he realized that there was no one behind him, Liu Yunqi scratched his head in puzzlement, "Could it be that we ran too fast, making it impossible for them to catch up?"

"Hehe, they're too stupid to catch up." Yue'er giggled.

When Liu Yunqi heard Yue'er's words, he was speechless for a while. Not daring to stay any longer, he quickly brought Yue'er and flew into the distance.

At this moment, on the street.

City Guard and the bald man's subordinates were squeezed together in a complete mess.

"You bastards! I am a man of the viscount! Capturing the assassin! Get out of my way! If they were to run away, the Marquis will blame them and show them to everyone! "

"Under the orders of the City Lord, we shall capture the traitors of foreign countries! Get out of my way! "If you delay our business, you are the only ones who can ask!"

Both parties pushed and squeezed each other. Neither one of them was willing to give in to the other. This caused the surrounding passersby to all start discussing among themselves.

Before long, Liu Yunqi had brought Yue'er to the alley they had come down to. After removing the clothes on her face, he took Yue'er and jumped into the room like a city lord's mansion.

At this time, the young girl was in her room enjoying breakfast. Seeing that Liu Yunqi and Yue'er had returned, she spoke in a weird tone, "Yo ~ Why are you back? I thought you guys weren't coming back? "

"It's just a walk outside, what's there to be surprised about? I spent a gold coin to buy this room. I'll just have to stay for a few more days to make a return. " Liu Yunqi said.

The girl was sipping porridge with a spoon when her hand trembled. Veins popped out on her forehead as she said, "That's right, your gold coin is very valuable, so ~ I have arranged a better room for all of you to live in."

"No need, this room is quite comfortable. We're sitting facing south and the room is clear. I think there is no better room than this. " Liu Yunqi said.

"Child! Don't go too far! This is my room! Now! Immediately! Immediately! Move to another room! " The young girl slammed the table and said loudly.

"No, no, no. From the moment you accepted my gold coins, I had already rented out this room, so the one who should be out was you." Liu Yunqi and Yue'er sat opposite of the young girl, scooped a bowl of porridge for themselves and Yue'er, and started to drink.

"Bullshit!" You gave me that gold coin to repay my gratitude! But he didn't say he wanted my room! Now get out of here immediately! "

"Oh?!" No? "Then I'll have to make it up to you now." Liu Yunqi said unconcernedly.

"You!" Move out right now! Otherwise! I'll go out and notify City Guard to capture you right now! " The young girl threatened.

"Go, go. Don't forget to close the door when you leave." Liu Yunqi casually waved his hand.

"You!" The girl clenched her teeth, seeing that there was nothing she could do about Liu Yunqi, she turned and left hatefully.

"Oh, right. Elder sister, what's your name? "We seem to know each other now, it's not convenient for us to not know each other's names ~" Liu Yunqi suddenly thought of something, and angrily said to the young lady who was about to leave the room.

The young girl raised her eyebrows, "Before you ask for someone else's name, do you want to say your name first?!"

"Ah ~ Sorry, I forgot, my name is Liu Yunqi." Liu Yunqi was startled for a moment.

Yue Er also said, "Big sister, my name is Yue Er."

After glancing at the two of them, the girl snorted and said, "My name is Zhao Wushuang."

"Big Sister Wushuang, we are new here and we don't know anything. Please take care of us during this period." Liu Yunqi smiled slightly.

"Please take care of me, Sister Wushuang." Little Yue Er followed suit and said.

Zhao Wushuang was startled for a moment, seeing the smile on the two, a look of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and with a snort, he turned around and left, "Am I not looking after you guys enough?! The entire room has been taken over by you! "

Seeing that Zhao Wushuang did not have a good expression, Yue'er panicked, "Big Brother Yunqi, what do we do? She wouldn't really go look for City Guard, right? "

"That won't happen, if she really wants to do this, she can just directly ask the guards to capture us, why go around in a circle to look for City Guard?" Liu Yunqi shook his head and his expression darkened, "However... I just provoked her like that, and she can even bear with it. What is her goal? "

"Big Brother Yunqi, did you do it on purpose just now?" Yue Er curiously asked.

Liu Yunqi nodded his head, "I do not believe that there is anyone in this world who is willing to help others for free. We had never seen her before, we were strangers. Furthermore, she can still tolerate the fact that a customer like me bullied her, her master. That's worth investigating further, what on earth is there in our bodies that is worthy of her to put so much effort into? "

A shadow flashed outside the window.

City Lord's study

A guard whispered something into the ear of the city lord, and a strange look immediately flashed across the city lord's eyes: "I didn't think that this kid would have such wisdom, he is truly a Azure Cloud Sect disciple. I have picked up a treasure, as long as Gemini marries him, not only will I be able to climb the giant tree called Azure Cloud Sect, I will also be able to get this intelligent son-in-law, this is truly killing two birds with one stone ~! "

Gu Zi was elated for a moment before the mayor shouted, "Go ahead! Gemini will be married in three days! I want to let the whole city know about this news! "
