Chapter 1445: Chapter 1529: Relentless
Shujun’s expression was grave. According to Escort Army Sun, the wife master had escaped. He had confirmed that the person was indeed his own wife master, but Escort Army Sun also mentioned that the wife master was injured, with the injury seemingly coming from the back of the head.
As Escort Army Sun organized things in the village, Shujun rushed into the room where Qinghe and Dong Huiying had stayed. There were traces of blood spattered near the head of the bed, and some blood stains on the ground, making his mood extremely foul.
Afterwards, with a cold expression, he walked out of the house, continuing to chase under the stars, following the trail of hoofprints left by the pursuer.
"Damn it, these people really won’t give up!"
In a corner, Dong Huiying was holding a freshly washed wig (the hair for the wig was previously exchanged from a beggar for ten copper coins), placing it on her head. Her skin was originally very white, but she had bought some common herbs, given her face a makeover, darkened her skin, and altered her features as well.
Now she seemed at first glance to be a boy of ordinary appearance, with a sallow face like that of a pauper, but on closer inspection, one could see her features were quite delicate.
She pressed her lips together, watching the Hidden Guards searching all around ahead.
"It seems I can’t wear this outfit for much longer. They now know I’m not among the beggars in the city, but that I bought clothes...they are searching the streets for people wearing clothes similar to mine..."
She pursed her lips and then beckoned to a snot-nosed child: "Little sister, could you do me a favor?" She took out a long string of copper coins from her pocket.
The little girl, thin and frail, immediately had her eyes light up upon seeing those copper coins.
Dong Huiying smiled slightly. "If you help me, these will be yours, how about it?"
Not long after, the little girl came running to Dong Huiying, staggering with a set of coarse cloth clothing.
Dong Huiying took the clothes, patted the child’s head, "Good girl!" Keeping her promise, after paying a reward, Dong Huiying immediately found a deserted place to change into the clothes wrapped in a small bundle.
When she emerged again, she was wearing a set of coarse cloth clothing, with a considerable amount of cotton stuffed underneath, making her appear much bulkier. She painted her face bronze and put on makeup.
With bold eyebrows, a rugged face, and even padding a lot to elevate herself in her black cloth boots, she increased her height.
So much so, that the previously ordinary-looking boy had transformed into a robust and rugged-looking woman.
Dong Huiying, with her sleeves rolled up, swaggered out from her hiding place.
She brushed past a Hidden Guard, and the person did not recognize her. She subtly curved her lips and then walked quickly ahead.
Great, now there’s only one problem left.
Damn it, how on earth will she get out? The city gates are guarded by Hidden Guards, and it’s unclear how that scoundrel managed it, as anyone entering or exiting the city must undergo a meticulous check.
More effort is needed to completely escape; as long as she’s in this city, she can’t afford to be complacent.
Dong Huiying’s eyes flashed as she found a noodle shop, ordering a bowl of beef noodles, and wolfed it down to fill her stomach. Though the taste was mediocre, she hadn’t eaten a grain of rice or drunk a drop of water after all the chaos, she was truly starving and parched.
After eating, she squeezed her shoulder through her clothes. Even though that scoundrel had restrained a bit of force last minute, it had shattered her shoulder. She seemed calm, but in reality, she was enduring the pain of a broken bone all along.
Moreover, she had bitten her tongue earlier, and the back of her head was still injured, truly a dire situation.
