Chapter 14: The Carriage Transforms into a Living Person

Wu Dajiang pondered for a while, then slapped his forehead:

"I saw this man leaving the inn an hour ago. Why did he come back through the window? He looks like a martial artist."

Chu Zhao pondered: "Do you think his figure is a bit similar to that woman from yesterday? But his kung fu is much better."

On the other hand, Gu Xi knew that she had been exposed, and Qi and the others had originally escaped from the Sun Mansion. It was only because of the chaos and war that the Sun Mansion ignored them, but what about in the future?

As long as they analyze the situation calmly, they might start to suspect them, and then they would be hard to escape.

After all, her space could hide valuables, but not these people.

Gu Xi asked Qi and others to pack up quickly as they could not stay in the inn any longer and they had to leave the city as soon as possible.

At this moment, a familiar golden light flashed before Gu Xi's eyes.

[Mission: Eliminate harm for the people and overthrow County Magistrate Zhen within three days.]

[Completion Reward: Upgrade any skill by one level. ]

[Unfinished punishment: Return to Wujia Village and marry Wu Dazhuang.]

Gu Xi was depressed.

"You bastard system, get out here! I dare not accept this mission even if you dare to send it! I am an exiled fugitive, and you want me to overthrow the county magistrate?"

"Due to the host's uncivilized words, the system has decided to shorten the mission time to two days."

Gu Xi suspected that the system had deep ill will towards itself as the host.

"Two days? I can't do it in two months. Unless you can give me an advanced assassination technique, I will go to the county government and kill him. Otherwise, this is an impossible task." Gu Xi wanted to strike.

"Assassination is impossible, and the mission is for you to overthrow County Magistrate Zhen, not to kill him. Even if you kill him, the mission will still fail, and the system will still punish you."

"Can your punishment be any more evil? With my current strength, do you think Wu Dazhuang can still catch me? I'll almost kill him."

"Haha, host, if you fail to complete the task, the system will automatically format all your skills, including supplies, and then send you back to Wujia Village to start all over again. And the novice reward is only once, and it will no longer be available after formatting."

I!

Gu Xi didn't dare to swear anymore, for she was afraid that the unscrupulous system would shorten her time to one day.

Extremely depressed!

If she lost her camouflage skills, she probably wouldn't be able to escape if she returned to Wujia Village.

"Mom, we won't leave yet. The city gate is under strict inspection. I'll dress you up, change your identities, and move to another inn."

Qi had no objection to what Gu Xi said.

Then Gu Xi went downstairs first, led the horse out, smeared some paint on the horse's body, and quickly cut a new hairstyle for it with scissors.

It must be its mother, no, even its owner couldn't recognize it. Then he found an empty corner, took out the carriage and harnessed it.

Wu Dajiang, who was hiding in the dark, didn't dare to get close to Gu Xi. He saw Gu Xi leading the carriage over from a distance and was a little confused. There was a carriage in the corner, but he didn't notice it.

The rumbling of a horse-drawn carriage carrying a family of five headed south of the city.

The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, so they are going to live near the Sun family.

Gu Xi believed that the south of the city must have been searched several times, and it would not be the focus of other people's attention now.

On the way, Gu Xi bought a batch of ready-made clothes and then disguised everyone in the car.

She disguised herself as a wealthy middle-aged businessman in his thirties and painted Qi's face with all kinds of makeup. Qi's dignified and beautiful face was changed into that of an average-looking person.

Gu Ping dressed up as a young master, and Gu Yuan pretended to be Gu Ping's servant.

Nanny Yun was quite capable and could drive a carriage, so they disguised her as the coachman.

Although the camouflage skill is only level one, if they are not familiar people, they will definitely not be recognized.

"Sister, you are so awesome! I want to learn from you too!" Gu Ping was very excited as she looked at her family members with a new look.

Gu Yuan also nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, elder sister is so amazing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would definitely not have recognized you on the road."

Nanny Yun and Madam Qi were also very surprised. They had no idea that Gu Xi had such ability.

But the most surprised person was Wu Dajiang who had been following them.

He followed all the way to the door of the Welcoming Inn, where several completely unfamiliar faces got off the carriage.

He had a strong suspicion that he had lost the person and that this was another carriage.

Otherwise, how to explain the incident of the carriage turning into a living person?

Wu Dajiang was depressed.

He was still in a daze until he reported the matter to Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao analyzed: "This woman may be a master of disguise, but it is not easy to hide her figure, so she must be one of them."

Wu Dajiang felt a little better now. It seemed that his professional qualities were still there and he had not lost him.

In front of Chengyang County Government Office.

County Magistrate Zhen Wude was so angry that he was shaking all over and almost fell down when he got off the carriage.

They didn't expect the thief to be so cunning. He tricked them for a long time and then disappeared.

After searching for a long time without any results, they could only order the guards at the city gate to conduct a strict search and would rather arrest someone by mistake than let him go.

He searched everywhere in the city. He didn't believe that the thief could escape from his grasp.

At this moment, he saw the pig-headed man coming closer again and kneeling down in front of him.

"My Lord, I, the common people——"

Before Liu Si could finish his sentence, the familiar feeling came over him again. He was kicked down again and rolled on the ground several times.

"Get lost! Stop bothering me, you rascal!"

"Sir, I am here to provide clues about the theft at the Sun family."

Fortunately, it was Zhen Wude who kicked him this time, and his strength was not as strong as that of the yamen runner, so Liu Si was still able to speak. He did not dare to say anything else and directly gave out the key information.

"What? You know the thief's information?" Zhen Wude was originally walking towards the county government office, but he took two steps back and glared at Liu Si.

Liu Si nodded.

"You bastard, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Zhen Wude was so angry that he kicked Liu Si again.

Did he not say it earlier? Did he have a chance to say it? Liu Si had a hundred things to say to his mother in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

This case reported that the old wounds had not yet healed, and new wounds had been added.

"Get in here!" Zhen Wude roared, and immediately a bailiff dragged Liu Si, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, in.

Liu Si recounted how he was beaten, emphasizing that the people who beat him must be related to the slaves he sold, and that they might have colluded with each other.

Zhen Wude and several yamen runners felt that the man Liu Si described as beating him looked and had a similar figure to the man they were chasing today.

"Go and call the steward of the Sun Mansion!" Zhen Wude ordered.

After a while, the housekeeper of the Sun Mansion came.

Zhen Wude asked, "Did the Sun family buy a few slaves yesterday?"

The housekeeper replied, "That's right. Today, someone from below said that those servants were missing. But everyone in the mansion was busy dealing with the theft in the storehouse today, so we didn't deal with this small matter for the time being."

It was very suspicious that the newly purchased slaves and the valuables in the storehouse disappeared at the same time.

It is very likely that the thief took the people away and stole the warehouse in passing. Or they worked together from inside and outside to steal the warehouse.

Since we can't catch him, his accomplices, including women, children, the elderly and the weak, should be easy to find.

Zhen Wude called in a painter to draw their portraits and searched the entire city for these five people.
