Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

Chapter 108 Wanted

There was a commotion inside Dongzhimen, and people were queuing up to leave the city.

"You, take out your pass." The city guard held up his sword and pointed at the other person. "The rest of you, take out your pass."

"You, go, next."

"Next"

"........."

The common people were carrying loads on their shoulders, pushing carts, and using horse-drawn carriages, and were leaving the city one after another.

A blind old man, wearing a brown robe and a turban, walked slowly towards them, holding a bamboo pole to feel the way.

The city guard stopped him and said, "Old man, a pass."

The blind old man opened his gapped teeth slightly, hunched his neck to listen for directions, turned his face and spoke hoarsely.

"Sir, I am blind and don't have a pass."

"If you don't have a pass, retreat." The city guard waved, "Next one."

The blind old man stood in front and refused to move, poking the ground with a bamboo pole, making it difficult for the people behind him to move forward. Soon the road was blocked and a quarrel broke out.

"Hey, old man, are you going to move on or not? Get out of the way."

"If you don't leave, we still have to go. Get out of the way so as not to bump into you."

"........."

The blind old man pointed the bamboo pole left and right and took small steps to move aside.

"Sir, I'm going to visit my relatives. Please be kind and let me out."

"I say, as a blind man, why don't you stay at home and run out to visit relatives?" said another soldier guarding the city.

"There are so many carriages and people on the street, be careful or you might get hit. Go back."

The blind old man got anxious and tried to walk out while lighting the bamboo pole, but the city guards immediately caught him.

Suddenly, a bamboo pole blocked the way and tripped a matchmaker. The matchmaker was furious and got up to grab the old man and start scolding him.

There was a constant noise at the back due to the traffic jam. The city guards came over one by one and pointed at the people in line and shouted angrily.

"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about? If you keep arguing, I'll take you all to the government office and make you line up."

The common people were talking and muttering as they squeezed back.

Amidst the noise of the crowd, only a few commands were heard behind him.

"Marquis Dingbei has ordered all city gates to be sealed and all convoys and carriages prohibited from leaving the city."

"Marquis Dingbei has ordered all city gates to be sealed and all convoys and carriages prohibited from leaving the city."

"........."

When the common people heard this, they became noisy and excited. The city guards surrounded them with swords drawn, and everyone immediately shut up.

He went forward, and the soldier on horseback grabbed the reins, and the horse turned in a circle on the spot.

"Marquis Dingbei has ordered the city gates to be sealed and the wanted criminal Guozhou to be apprehended." The messenger threw down a roll of yellow paper. "This is a portrait. Close the city gates immediately. If you let him escape, you'll lose your head."

The soldier guarding the city took the portrait and looked at it, then panicked and immediately waved and shouted behind him.

"Close the city gate quickly, quickly."

The crowd gradually dispersed. Among them, an old man wearing a coarse black cloak suddenly clutched the pass and walked back with the crowd.

It was Guozhou.

"General...Brother, what should we do now?" Guo Zhou's subordinate said, "Dongzhimen is also blocked. We can't get out."

Another short subordinate thought for a moment and said, "We are short of troops here. If this doesn't work out, we might as well just fight our way out."

"That's easy to say, but you haven't..." A group of soldiers rode up the street. The thin man lowered his head and said, "The streets and alleys are full of Jinyiwei and Bingmasi people. How many of us are there?"

Guo Zhou glanced around and said, "Under the current circumstances, we can only find an inn to take shelter for a while and make long-term plans."

As he said this, he avoided the main street and led his subordinates into a side street. He saw a tall black horse passing by him.

He quickly lowered his head and pulled the hood of his cloak.

The red agate ring on her hand was extremely dazzling against the black cloak.

And just this touch of red, as it passed by, suddenly fell into the eyes of the man on the horse.

Xiao Yan immediately reined in his horse. Mo Kun neighed loudly, turned his horse's head halfway, and paced on the spot.

"What's wrong?" Yang Zhounan followed his gaze and said, "There's nothing special about those people. Let's go look somewhere else. I don't believe he can fly away with wings."

Xiao Yan looked at the people in front of him, who were dressed like Hu Shang, and pondered for a moment.

"That man was wearing a coarse black robe, yet he had such a large red agate ring on his hand. I felt like I had seen it somewhere before."

"Ordinary merchants can afford this kind of thing." Seeing that he remained motionless, Yang Zhounan suddenly shouted to the front, "Guozhou!"

The shout attracted the attention of passers-by, and they all looked around. Only the Hu merchants acted as if nothing had happened and continued to walk forward.

"It's confirmed, no, let's go."

Xiao Yan stared at the man as he slowly turned into the alley, then he looked away half-believingly.

While gently shaking the reins, he was still thinking about the agate ring. He felt like he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for a moment.

In the narrow alley, after the passers-by left, the thin man suddenly cursed.

"Damn, that Yang kid's yelling almost killed me, but luckily I managed to hold on."

The tall subordinate glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Don't even mention being someone who has followed the general. With this level of mentality, you can only be cannon fodder."

"Stop talking nonsense and get going." Guo Zhou stared at the entrance to the alley ahead, his hood blown against his face by the wind. "There's an inn outside of here. Let's go check it out first."

On all four sides of the main street, two or three Jinyiwei were checking the shops together.

"Fuck, Jinyiwei." The thin man suddenly lowered his head and stopped. "There are also some at the Chengxiang Inn across the street."

The tall man took a look, then looked back at the thin man and scolded in a low voice.

"What are you afraid of? We are big-bearded merchants now. They might not even recognize us if we stand right in front of them. You are so scared."

The short subordinate casually picked up the fake porcelain on the stall next to him and looked at it.

"Brother, should we go in now?"

Guo Zhou took a look and then slowly walked to another antique stall.

"The city is under tight military control right now. There should be wanted posters everywhere on the streets and in every shop. It would be inappropriate to keep wandering around the streets."

He took an oxidized bronze bowl and turned it over in his hands.

"If we hide here, they won't realize we're in this busy city for a while."

Guo Zhou put down the bronze bowl, stared at the big words "Chengxiang Inn", wiped his beard twice, and his subordinates followed behind him and walked in as if nothing had happened.

Three Jinyiwei in blue robes and flowing robes were inside, pasting the portrait on the wall and speaking to the shopkeeper.

"If you see this person, please report it to us immediately. He is a high-ranking criminal. There is a reward for reporting him, and there is also a reward for harboring him."

The shopkeeper was startled, but immediately turned into a smiling face.

"Yes, yes, I saw this person and reported it immediately. The officers are thirsty while working on the case. Please sit down and have some tea."

"No, we still have something to do, let's go!" The leader turned around and walked out the door with his knife in hand.

When the thin man saw this, he suddenly felt that the leather uniforms of the Jinyiwei, which looked nothing special in the past and were not as good as the robes he was guarding, were particularly eye-catching today.

As he passed by, he became nervous and his body shook inadvertently, which attracted the leader of the Jinyiwei to suddenly turn his head and look at him.

"Why are you shaking?"

The others subconsciously dropped their hands and clenched the daggers in their sleeves.
