Exiled, the Medical Concubine emptied the warehouse and escaped from the famine

Chapter 294 The Eve of Encounter

Zhou Cisui paused, Sinan? The new county magistrate?

He asked again, "Master, when did the county magistrate take office? Do you know any others?"

The farmer scratched his head, "It seemed like three months ago. I don't know much else, I just know that they distributed food and clothes for free, and some people in our village moved there and never came back. I guess they are doing well, right?"

Zhou Cisui narrowed his fox eyes.

Three months ago? The timing was just right.

It can’t be the general.

Apart from Gu Wei, he couldn't find anyone in Beijiang who was so unique and could be passed on by word of mouth among the people.

Just distributing rice for free?

The general's house was confiscated, so where did all these supplies come from? Could it be the new wife?

The woman the general loves must be extraordinary. All of this might have been caused by the new wife. Fortunately, she was quite friendly to the An family along the way.

No matter what kind of dangerous place Sinan is, Zhou Cisui is going to give it a try!

Zhou Cisui thought deeply and soon came up with a complete set of conclusions.

The farmer quietly looked at Zhou Cisui's expression, then sighed deeply, "The snow is so heavy that all the official roads are blocked. I don't have a donkey or ox cart, otherwise I would like to go and see it too."

Zhou Cisui came back to his senses and chuckled, "Then we can only wait until spring."

It seemed as if he didn't understand the farmer's hint.

If it were the good guy Ren Pingsheng, he would probably have blurted out "Then I'll take you with me."

But they were already on the run and had secrets, so how could they bring people with them?

The farmer glanced at the carriage in the distance and forced a smile: "Sir, I see you have three carriages. If you want to go to Sinan, can you take my family with you? There are only five of us in my family."

Zhou Cisui shook his head decisively, "Master, I'm afraid this won't work. Our carriage is full."

The farmer's face immediately darkened, he snorted coldly, and muttered: "I'm so kind to tell you that you don't even want to bring anyone..."

Zhou Cisui still had that gentle and smiling expression. After the farmer had vented his emotions, he slowly said, "I'm really sorry, sir. If we can settle down there, we will come back to let you know."

The farmer's face looked a little better. He pointed to the vast expanse of snow not far away and said in a bad tone, "It snowed so heavily that the official road was buried. That's the official road. I'll only point out a section for you. You can slowly explore the rest by yourselves. Humph."

After speaking, he walked away.

He took two steps and turned back, "You said you would let me know when you come back, don't forget it!"

Zhou Cisui's fox eyes curved, "Okay, I won't forget it."

After the old man walked away, Zhou Ci Sui immediately summoned a subordinate beside him, and soon, everyone split into several groups and walked towards Sinan. Before leaving, they left a mark belonging to the Gu family general.

---

Under the falling snow, everything was white, and people looked like small black dots, forming lines on the snow.

Zhou Ci Sui and his group walked for a long time and finally saw a figure in front of them.

Zhang Yong ran forward excitedly, "I'll go ask for directions."

Zhou Cisui quickly grabbed him and said, "There are so many people here, they are probably soldiers, don't act rashly."

Zhang Yong obeyed and stopped.

The snow was so heavy that only a few figures could be vaguely seen. When he got closer, Zhang Yong gently pinched Zhou Ci Sui's arm with a serious look in his eyes.

Although these people were not wearing officer uniforms, they were obviously officers and soldiers at first glance.

His steps are steady, his lower body is strong, and he walks straight, leaving footprints on the snow.

As a general, Zhang Yong could naturally tell who were the soldiers at a glance.

They are soldiers, why are they wearing the common clothes of civilians?

The wind is strong and the snow is heavy. Where are we going?

The two men looked at each other and immediately put away the solemnity on their faces. Zhou Cisui pretended to be an ordinary passerby and walked over, while Zhang Yong stepped back to give instructions to the An family.

The wind and snow were very strong, and the group of people were in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to their surroundings. They only discovered Zhou Ci Sui and his group when they passed each other.

The leader of the group of soldiers narrowed his eyes and said sternly, "Are you also migrating to Sinan?"

As he said this, he turned his head to look at the carriage behind Zhou Ci Sui and the Gu family generals dressed as servants.

Zhou Cisui bowed and said, "Sir, we are not migrating to Sinan. We are fleeing from famine in the north. Our ancestral home is in Sinan, so we want to go back and take a look."

The man's tone became much better after hearing this, "Is that so?"

As he said this, he looked at Zhou Cisui and his group again, looked at their spacious carriage, and thought that there were still so many people left after fleeing from the famine in the north, which meant that they must be very wealthy...

A dark light flashed in the man's eyes.

"We are going to Sinan too, why don't we go together so that we can take care of each other."

Zhou Cisui opened his folding fan, smiled elegantly, and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, I also want someone to take care of me..."

Like a lazy fox with curved eyebrows and eyes smiling.

Zhang Yong saw Zhou Ci Sui's expression from afar and shuddered silently.

Usually when Zhou Ci Sui shows this expression, someone will suffer.

At this time, Zhou Cisui was no longer Zhou Cisui in Zhang Yong's eyes.

Instead, it was a large fox with a fox tail and a gleam in its eyes.

The leading man was not aware of the danger yet. He took one look at the frail, polite scholar and the burly, simple-minded groom, and sneered in his heart, saying that they were a group of simple, useless trash. He didn't know how they were so lucky to arrive in Lingnan safely.

The two gangs walked for almost a whole day with ulterior motives.

Zhou Ci Sui not only tricked this group of people into clearing snow and clearing the way for him, he even asked them to fetch water, collect firewood and build sheds, simply treating them like mules.

The key point is that this group of people didn’t think there was any problem at all. They were all busy and enthusiastic.

into the night.

Zhou Cisui closed his eyes and rested.

A knife was suddenly placed across his neck.

He sighed, "Why do you start so early? I wanted to keep you guys for a few more days."

The man was a little annoyed. "Stop talking nonsense! Hand over all your gold and silver treasures if you know what's best for you, and I'll give you a quick death! Otherwise—"

Before the man could finish his words, a sharp knife pierced his stomach from behind.

Zhang Yong raised his eyebrows, "Who is leading your troops? You are so stupid."

The man was so frightened that his eyes were about to burst. "Who are you...?"

As he spoke, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Zhou Ci Sui frowned and kicked him away in disgust.

"If you tell me your identity and purpose, I might consider giving you a quick death. You dare to plot against me, you are really knocking on the door of the King of Hell."

Outside the shed, one by one, he could hear the screams of his accomplices being arrested.

The man was tough for less than a moment, and then he blurted out the purpose of his and his accomplices' trip like pouring beans.

It turned out that he and his subordinates were sent by Yong'an County Magistrate Cen Rensheng to cause trouble in Sinan.

Seeing that most of his people had moved to Sinan, Cen Rensheng was so anxious that he was at a loss as to what to do. He came up with this bad idea. He wanted to send people disguised as migrated people to cause chaos and set fire to Sinan.

Zhou Cisui narrowed his eyes.

If the magistrate of Sinan County is really a general, this would be considered as helping the general deal with a big trouble.

He secretly made a gesture, and Zhang Yong understood it immediately. He called a few of Gu's generals and dragged the group of people away and dealt with them.

The rest of the journey was relatively smooth, and I was able to exchange a lot of food with the people on the roadside. Although it was simple, at least I was full.

Soon, the group arrived at the border of Sinan.

Zhou Cisui originally wanted to leave directly via the official road.

But for some reason, looking at the familiar order of dead trees and rocks on the roadside, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Zhang Yong, take some people to the mountain to see if there are any signs."

At this time, Gu Wei was also searching for the Gu family general's mark nearby.
