Abandoning literature for martial arts, starting by unleashing the beauty's bow.

The carriage stopped at the back gate of the backyard of Fuyuan Leather Shop.

To prevent any leaks, Fang Tong personally oversaw the harnessing and loading of the horses into the carts, without calling any helpers.

Seeing Fang Tong covered in sweat, Lu Fengnian was filled with gratitude. "Manager Fang, I will remember your great kindness and will repay you in the future."

Fang Tong waved his hand, "Brother Lu, we hit it off immediately, so let's not be so polite."

I, Fang Tong, don't have much ability; I can only run this one shop in the county to support my family.

However, I've always been good at judging people. The moment I saw Brother Lu, I knew you were no ordinary person and would definitely achieve great things in the future.

At this point, he laughed and said, "If Brother Lu ever becomes successful in the future, please help my son if you have the chance."

He's too honest; he definitely can't take over my shop. He can only study and see if he can pass the imperial examinations and get a small, stable job in the government.

Lu Fengnian nodded emphatically, "If given the opportunity, I would absolutely not refuse in the slightest."

With that, he waved his hand, "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."

Fang Tong suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot something important."

Brother Lu, please wait a moment.

After saying that, he quickly turned around and ran back to the backyard.

A moment later, he turned around quickly, holding a hunting bow, a quiver, and a short knife.

This book is first published on 111k.com, providing you with a reading experience without errors or disordered chapters.

These three items all belonged to Lu Fengnian and had been taken away by Ye Zhengtang before.

Lu Fengnian was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that these things would actually be with Fang Tong.

Moreover, all the arrows in the quiver were replaced with iron arrows, a total of forty.

He remembered that when he fought Ye Zhengtang that day, he only had four bamboo arrows and two iron arrows left in his quiver.

Fang Tong handed the bow and knife to Lu Fengnian and said softly, "On the night Chief Constable Ye sent you to prison, he came to my place and left the hunting bow and knife here."

I was thinking that once you got away, I could immediately get these weapons.

I noticed you only had a few arrows left in your quiver, so I went to the bow shop in the county and got you some more.

Lu Fengnian quickly clasped his hands in thanks.

Fang Tong hesitated for a moment, "There's something I shouldn't have said."

I don't care about so many things when it comes to Brother Lu.

I have a decent relationship with Chief Constable Ye. Although he is a bit stubborn, he is a good person.

The way you handled things was not what he wanted, so please don't hold a grudge.

Lu Fengnian smiled slightly, "Chief Constable Ye has his duties to fulfill, I understand."

I'm a little worried. If I take my family away, you might have a hard time explaining it to Chief Constable Ye.

Fang Tong shook his head. "Don't worry about that. As I said, Ye Zhengtang is a little stubborn and inflexible, but he has a sense of justice."

He can't keep his promise now, and you being able to escape and take your family with you is probably what he wants to see.

With that, he waved his hand, "Brother Lu, let's get going. The sooner we leave, the less danger we'll face."

Lu Fengnian nodded, jumped onto the carriage, lightly flicked the whip, and slowly drove the carriage westward towards Qinghe County.

…………

"Big brother, let me drive," Lu Manyue said softly as she opened the car door.

Lu Fengnian shook his head. "You're not familiar with the roads in the county, so I'll do it. Don't worry, I can handle everything except the farm work."

Lu Xiaoyu added, "Second Brother, our eldest brother is not the same as before. Don't worry, he's reliable now."

With my older brother by my side, I'm not afraid of anything. He can definitely solve all problems.

Lu Fengnian smiled slightly, "Xiaoyu is right. With your big brother here, you have nothing to fear. Even if the sky falls, your big brother can hold it up for you."

…………

The carriage traveled westward until it reached the vicinity of the western city wall, but it did not encounter a single person.

Shuimen was originally a waterway used by Qinghe County for small boats.

Currently, it is temporarily abandoned and not in use because the riverbed has dried up.

However, soldiers were still left to guard the area.

Lu Fengnian parked the carriage in a dark alley near the water gate, gave a few instructions, and then quietly made his way towards the water gate.

The defenses at Shuimen are usually quite lax, let alone now that the river is dry and boats can't pass through.

When Lu Fengnian went down to the river, he saw a middle-aged soldier with his military cap askew lying in the corner, snoring loudly.

Beside him were three empty wine jars, and even from a distance of three zhang (approximately 10 meters), one could smell a strong, pungent odor of alcohol.

Lu Fengnian walked to his side and kicked his foot, but the snoring continued without any reaction.

I took a few steps closer and took the key from his waist.

Unlock and open the gate.

It went incredibly smoothly, beyond Lu Fengnian's expectations.

He quickly turned back, drove the carriage down the river, passed through the sluice gate, and left Qinghe County.

After thinking for a moment, he stopped the carriage, returned to the riverbed, wiped away the wheel tracks, and then locked the gate again through the railing, throwing the key to the still fast asleep soldier.

After doing all this, Lu Fengnian drove the carriage away from Qinghe County under the cover of night.

…………

After traveling twenty li along the official road, Lu Fengnian hid the carriage in the woods beside the road and tied the horses to it.

He handed the hunting bow to Lu Manyue, carried Liu Yunjuan on his back, and headed towards the mountain path on the side of the official road.

"Fengnian, are we going home?" Liu Yunjuan asked in confusion.

Lu Fengnian shook his head. "No, you'll find out when we get there."

…………

The mountain road was rugged, and it was nighttime, making it even more difficult to travel.

Lu Fengnian carried Liu Yunjuan on his back and walked at the front, walking quickly.

Fearing that Lu Fengnian might run out of strength, Lu Manyue stepped forward and said, "Big brother, you rest for a while, I'll carry Mother on my back."

Lu Fengnian shook his head. "Don't worry, your older brother is in good physical condition. You support Xiaoyu and make sure she doesn't fall."

Dawn will break soon.

We need to hurry and get you to your destination before the people in Qinghe County react."

…………

After walking about eighteen miles along the mountain path, a fork in the road appeared. The left path led to Mao'er Village, and the right path led to Shangjie Village.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Fengnian carried Liu Yunjuan and headed directly toward the path on the right.

"Big brother, you've gone the wrong way. This is Shangjie Village," Lu Manyue said in confusion.

Liu Yunjuan and Lu Xiaoyu both had the same puzzled expression.

Lu Feng said in a young voice, "We are going to Shangjie Village. I will take you to find a friend. You will stay with him for the time being."

His residence was relatively remote, and no one would know about it.

He's a reliable person; you can rest assured.
