The other people also tied up their airbags, and each of the big men pulled a stowaway and started to go down the river.
The remaining few who knew how to swim also went into the river by themselves. One of the big men came over to pull Ming Zhiyuan up.
Brother Qiu took a step forward and said, "Master, let me see you off."
After saying that, he pulled Ming Zhiyuan into the water. The big man looked at Brother Qiu suspiciously, turned around and pulled the other one away.
Brother Qiu took Ming Zhiyuan and walked for a while in the water, deliberately keeping a little distance from the other people in the water.
He whispered to Ming Zhiyuan: "Now put a hundred silver taels into another airbag. Once you get to the shore, you can untie the airbag and run quickly, and then run as you untie it. Don't delay, keep running southward."
Ming Zhiyuan glanced at him and then looked to the other side. Those big men were still looking at him from time to time.
He quickly took out the banknotes from the air bag and put them into another air bag.
Brother Qiu stopped talking and took Ming Zhiyuan into the deep water area.
Brother Qiu swims very fast. He is tall and powerful, with muscles all over his body.
After a while, Ming Zhiyuan almost reached the shore, far ahead of the others.
When the people over there saw Brother Qiu moving so fast, one of them shouted something to Brother Qiu. The river was so heavy that Ming Zhiyuan didn't hear it clearly.
Brother Qiu didn't answer, he just swam faster.
Several people over there also started to speed up.
Brother Qiu pulled Ming Zhiyuan to the shore and said quickly in a low voice: "Run south! Just over to the tallest red pine. If you run over, you will see a path. Keep running along the path."
Mingzhiyuan knew something was wrong.
He didn't say anything and ran towards the south as hard as he could.
While untying the air bag on his body, leaving only the air bag containing the letter and the spiritual stone, he deflated it and stuffed it into his waist.
All this was done while running at high speed, and Ming Zhiyuan could only feel his heart pounding.
He vaguely knew that Brother Qiu was helping him. He only heard chaotic shouts from behind and did not dare to look back.
I kept running south, and soon I saw a faint path.
He ran wildly down the path, and gradually the sounds behind him became farther and farther away until they were no longer audible.
Ming Zhiyuan ran for four or five miles in one breath. His lungs and throat were so painful from running straight away that he almost lost his breath and almost fainted before slowly slowing down.
But he didn't dare to rest, and kept running forward as hard as he could. As he ran, the sky gradually became brighter, and the surrounding landscape gradually became clearer.
After another half an hour, I finally saw a house inhabited by someone. Then I climbed up a low mountain ridge. Standing on the mountain ridge, Ming Zhiyuan saw the market that Brother Qiu mentioned earlier.
It was already broad daylight. He could see people walking around in the market, so he walked slowly down.
Ming Zhiyuan encountered a problem. The banknotes on hand may no longer be used.
The country of Gaoyue used banknotes issued by Gaoyue. Ming Zhiyuan had never thought of exchanging the banknotes before. {It was all because he had never been abroad} Fortunately, everyone in Tianyuan Continent spoke the same language.
He doesn't need to worry about communication. Now it seems that the five top-quality spiritual stones that Wenren has given him may be used at this time.
At the border market, Ming Zhiyuan exchanged the remaining Yuhuo silver notes to a vendor at a very low comparison ratio.
In a place like this, no one would be able to take advantage of his spiritual stone, and he wouldn't dare to reveal his wealth in such a chaotic place.
After asking for the route, Ming Zhiyuan walked toward the nearest big city, Yanshan City, Yanshan Prefecture.
He walked on the road for five full days before arriving at Yanshan City, sleeping in the open air all the way. There is no need to list the many hardships in detail.
After Ming Zhiyuan entered the city, he found a shop where he could exchange spiritual stones. A top-quality spiritual stone was exchanged for a thousand taels of Gaoyue silver notes.
He only exchanged one piece, because from Yanshan Prefecture to Daxing Prefecture, he could enter the Qianyuan Kingdom from Daxing Prefecture, and then he would have to exchange Qianyuan silver notes in the Qianyuan Kingdom.
He didn't dare to buy a horse, so the fiery horse was sold to Brother Qiu for fifty taels, which made him feel a little distressed.
Now is not the time to be a young master in Feiyun City. He has been slapped into hell by a rich family. How to climb out of hell? Now he has to rely on himself who is not only empty-handed but also a useless person in cultivation.
Up to now, Ming Zhiyuan is still unwilling to think about Lao Dai and whether he was the traitor in the escort robbery case? He is afraid of getting the answer, but actually he doesn't care about the answer.
If Lao Dai is really a traitor, then he was the one who dragged Lao Dai, a robber who pretended to be a good guy, into the home, causing all his relatives to die. If Lao Dai was not a traitor, he was still the one who brought this family-ruining robber into the house.
.
Brother Qiu at the border of Rouyun obviously didn't want the other big men to take advantage of him by the river. That's why he reminded him and betrayed his brother in order to let him escape safely.
The similar body shapes of Brother Qiu and Lao Dai reminded him of Lao Dai very unwillingly. He waved his hands vigorously, trying to get rid of this thought in his mind.
But Lao Dai's rough face and naive tone of voice always lingered in front of his eyes. Gradually, the images of his father and grandfather appeared in his mind. They looked at him lovingly without saying a word.
Ming Zhiyuan walked on the streets of Yanshan City, his pace getting faster and faster. Finally he started running. His speed became faster and faster.
I don't know how long he ran, but heavy rain poured down. Ming Zhiyuan finally stopped and slowly walked into an inn.
He wanted to drink. The waiter welcomed him in, thinking that he would ask for a room and change his clothes first.
When I heard him asking for a bottle of wine, I was a little stunned. I reminded him: "Do you want to stay in the hotel? But you need to change your clothes first?"
Ming Zhiyuan looked at the waiter for a while before coming back to his senses: "Get a room. No need to bring wine."
Ming Zhiyuan rested for the night in Yanshan City, and the next day he asked the waiter to find a caravan going to Daxing Prefecture. He agreed to follow the caravan and go their separate ways when they arrived at Daxing City, Daxing Prefecture.
The caravan provided food and accommodation, and gave him 100 taels of Gaoyue silver notes when he arrived. The journey was not long, and he could reach Daxing City in six or seven days. After arriving at Daxing City, he walked to the border of Daxing by himself.
Fortunately, the national conditions of Gaoyue are the last among the four great empires, and the borders are basically in name only. It is difficult to find a checkpoint for dozens of miles. No one will sneak into Gaoyue, but the Gaoyue people often run to both sides and do some dark things.
Business.
Therefore, there were so many checkpoints on the border between Qianyuan Kingdom and Yuhuo Kingdom on the Gaoyue Kingdom side that Ming Zhiyuan had to go to Brother Qiu for help.
Ming Zhiyuan wondered if he could sneak across the border on his own? There was no need to find any smugglers.
Brother Qiu's brothers really scared Ming Zhiyuan. Even now when he thinks about it, he feels like he has cramps in his calves.
Ming Zhiyuan now has no ability to protect himself at all. If something like that happens again, I'm afraid there won't be another Brother Chou to save him.
On the third day after arriving in Yanshan City, the caravan called someone to pick him up. An old man with white hair and beard took the package from his hand with a smile: "Mr. Ming, please get on the carriage with me."
