In fact, even if he was not discovered, Yan was worried about whether their vocation would be in danger. But now that he met Pei Qing, he would never have such concerns, because she knew from Lu Bu that Pei Qing was a rare wise and brave figure in the world. If even he could not take them away successfully with him, then no one in the world could take them away.

Although Yan's family is just a woman, she has heard of Pei Qing's recent achievements, not only including defeating the Xiliang army several times, but also even Pei Qing's pacification of the entire Yuzhou. She felt that even her husband Lu Bu was not necessarily stronger than the other party, so she was full of absolute confidence in Pei Qing and believed that Pei Qing would definitely take them away safely.

What else can Pei Qing say about this? He could only accept this uninvited couple.

At this time, the leading guard said, "I didn't expect that the famous Pei Envoy was the famous Pei Envoy. The villain was named Pang Shu, who was a small school in the Chang'an defender. When the Xiliang army was captured by the Chang'an Cup, the villain could not bear General Lu's family was captured and risked his life to take them in. However, he had no chance to escape. Finally, last night, the villain spent a huge amount of money to bribe the city gate guards, and finally got out. He was originally going to escort them to reunite with General Lu, but now when he saw Pei Envoy, he was finally relieved. In this way, the villain could also return to Chang'an with confidence, and entrusted his wife and lady to the envoy in the future."

After saying that, Pang Shu and several other soldiers bowed to Pei Qing and turned around to return to Chang'an.

"Pang Yishi, stay." Pei Qing called Pei Qing and said to him: "Did Pang Yishi ever think that if you return to Chang'an like this, once the matter of you letting General Lu's family go privately is found out in the future, your life is likely to be lost in the future."

Pang Shu sighed when he heard this, and then said, "I'm not hiding the envoy. The villain has indeed thought of this. However, the villain has no hesitation. My family is still in Chang'an. If I escape, they will definitely encounter an unexpected situation. As long as I go back and surrender voluntarily, I believe they will forgive my family."

"Since you know that your family may be implicated, why don't you bring them with you?" Pei Qing sighed when he saw this scene and said to Pang Shu.

Pang Shu smiled bitterly and said, "The villain also knows that family members may be implicated, but it will be inconvenient for us to bring family members with us. It is not worth mercy to die. We can't implicate the two ladies, right?"

Pei Qing heard this and said with emotion: "You are a true righteous man, and you are ready to die, which is admirable, but have you ever thought that without you, how should your parents, wife and children live? The poverty in the second half of their lives and the humiliation they suffered are all caused by you."

When Pang Shu heard this, he was shocked all over his body, then shed tears and sighed, "I can't do the responsibility of a son, husband and father, but there is always someone to do it. I would rather not be sorry for my parents, wife and children than to be loyal."

"If I could give you a chance to be loyal and save your family's lives, would you be willing to seize it?"

"What?" Pang Shu was shocked when he heard this, and he fell to the ground to Pei Qing, saying respectfully: "If the envoy really has a way to save my whole family's life, the villain is willing to be crushed to pieces for the envoy, and he will never regret death!"

Pei Qing quickly helped Pang Shu up and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure this time, but if you can do what I said, the chance of saving your life is 70% or 80%."

Pei Qing then told Pang Shu: "Actually, things are simple. After you return to the city, you don't need to surrender. You dig a basement overnight, prepare dry food, and then burn the ground buildings with fire to create the illusion of escape, so that almost no one can see through it."

"Thank you, the envoy, for your kindness, the villain remembers you in the five internal affairs. If you have any advice in the future, the villain will definitely repay you for your death." Pang Shu was very happy to hear this and expressed his gratitude to Pei Qing again.

Pei Qing waved his hand and said, "No need to thank you. This is what I should do for a righteous man. However, although there are people who plan, it depends on God's will. Therefore, if you want to have a complete solution, you'd better place your family separately. Pay attention to this kind of placement, it's best not to find acquaintances, and place them separately at the same time. In this way, even if your hiding place is discovered, your family can be safeguarded, and at the least part can be saved. If you are caught, they will definitely interrogate the mastermind and accomplice. At this time, you just need to grit your teeth and not admit it, and your life can be safe."

"Thank you, the envoy, remember. You will do what the envoy said. The future is difficult and the envoy must be careful." Pang Shu saluted Pei Qing respectfully, and then turned around and left.

Pei Qing watched Pang Shu and others leave for a while, and then said, "Let's go on the road too. Zhang Ji is not a simple person. Don't be able to see the flaws by him."

At this time, they were no longer suitable for wearing armor, so they all took off their armor, found a place to bury them, changed into soft armor that had been prepared, put on cloth shirts worn by ordinary merchants, and even Yan and Ren Hongluo got out of the sedan chair, sat on the ox cart full of goods, rubbed dust on their faces, making themselves no longer clean and beautiful, and slowly headed towards Shangxian.

Because they changed into a ox cart, they were moving very slowly. By the time they arrived in Shangxian, it was already noon on the third day.

At this time, the news of Li Ru's murder had already spread throughout Chang'an. In anger, Li Jue and Guo Si immediately issued an order to the generals guarding everywhere. All levels must be strictly examined. Once suspicious people are found, they will be taken down immediately. It would be better to be ruthless than to be ruthless.

As an important general of the Xiliang Army, Zhang Ji, who was responsible for guarding Shang County, now felt a sense of sadness. He personally guarded the dangerous place and carefully interrogated the past merchants. He would take down any wrong feelings before he would say that he would take them down.

At this time, thousands of people were already crowded at the checkpoint, most of which ran from Guanzhong to Wuguan. Because someone reported to Li Jue and Guo Si that the murderer who killed Li Ru was a subordinate of Ma Teng of Xiliang. The generals of the Xiliang army, Guo Si and Fan Chou, dispatched a large army to launch an army to seek punishment. Many people heard the news and knew that war was about to occur in Guanzhong, so they flocked to Shang County and prepared to flee to the Central Plains through Wuguan.

Zhang Ji usually turns a blind eye to these fleeing people. After all, he also knows that war will bring disaster to the people. These are all about fighting against the common people and cannot bear the pain of war. If he escapes, he will run away.

However, Zhang Ji would never allow the murderer who assassinated Li Ru to escape. Now the main traffic routes from Chang'an to all parts have been blocked, especially the path from Chang'an to Huaili, Ma Teng's base, was surrounded by numerous people, and even a mosquito could not fly out. However, in order to prevent the murderer from mingling out from other paths, the guards from other places were also very careful, especially Shangxian, the only checkpoint of Wuguan, which is a top priority. Therefore, Zhang Ji attached so much importance to it, and even personally interrogated the passing merchants and the fleeing people.
