After dressing as the hero's wife

Seeing the worry on Ji Yuanchuan's face, Gu Changsheng comforted him: "Don't worry, master, you will be fine. I will let your students change their clothes and mix among my people, and then I will leave under the pretense of letting them go back to Beijiang. No one else will be suspicious."

Ji Yuanchuan smiled, but didn't express the worries in his heart. For some reason, he always felt that it was not so easy to leave safely, and the uneasiness in his heart came for no reason, and he didn't know how to explain it.

If it was Ji Yuanchuan in the past, he might have uttered all the worries in his heart, but now he doesn't know where to start.

Hundreds of students were divided into more than [-] teams, and each team must have one or two masters among them.

Ji Yuanchuan watched them change their clothes and leave one after another, but he decided to stay in the last team before leaving.

If something happened to any of the teams, he would do his best to rescue them. If he left early, he might be beyond his reach.And if something happened to him, Gu Changsheng would definitely not stand by and watch...

……

At the same time, on several streets in the capital city, there were black armored soldiers galloping past on fierce horses, and sometimes a few people dressed as scholars were dragged away by officers and soldiers like a dead dog.

The bustling streets, the endless stream of people, and the various shops with their doors open are all gone at this time.

As far as Zhao Mu could see was an empty street and houses with closed gates, not to mention people, in broad daylight, he didn't even see a ghost.

Zhao Mu tried his best to avoid people, but even so, when he walked out of the house and crossed the third street, he was stopped by a group of officers and soldiers.

"Who are you? Why are you wandering on the street in broad daylight? Do you have evil intentions?"

The person who spoke was obviously the leader, with a strong figure and a swollen face. He stood at the front, holding a big knife, and scanned him several times from top to bottom with sizing eyes, as if he didn't see anything wrong. give up.

Zhao Mu smiled flatteringly, raised the gift in his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "I am Zhao Mu, the editor of the Imperial Academy, because Shangguan has been ill for the past few days and has been at home, so I am planning to go to the hospital with the supplements." Look at my lord."

Hearing that the officer and soldier belonged to the Imperial Academy, his expression softened a bit, and his eyes were not so presumptuous: "It turns out that he is a master of the Imperial Academy. Since he is going to visit his boss, there is a reason for the incident, but it is not too late to go tomorrow. Please go back, my lord. The little one is also following orders, so don't embarrass the little one."

Zhao Mu's expression remained unchanged, and with a movement of his hand in his sleeve, he slowly approached this person, and then stuffed the things in his hand into the opponent's hand.

He whispered: "I would like to ask this elder brother to be convenient. You don't know that my boss is really not good-tempered. He always likes to wear small shoes for others. If I am the only one who doesn't go to see him today, I'm afraid I will be punished by him again." Forget about it, after staying for a few days, I'm afraid I'll have to suffer again. Please make it easier for me..."

The soldier leader weighed the weight in his hands, feeling relieved. Although his rank was so low that he was not included in the ranks, he was still happy to be flattered by the editors of the Imperial Academy.

He also knows the officials of the Hanlin Academy, they sound very respectable and noble, but he also knows very well that if the people there do not have a good family background, they will probably spend their whole life as a seven-rank editor.

And the person in front of him...Xiao Bingtou sized him up again calmly. Looking at his clothes and appearing in this area, he must have lived nearby...I'm afraid his family background is very ordinary. He lived in the Imperial Academy. One can imagine the day.

"Since the adults have something important to do, the little ones won't bother you. It's just that the adults should go home as soon as possible, and don't stay outside for too long."

Zhao Mu flattered and thanked him a few more times before he was let go. However, he was glad that he didn't meet the Black Armored Army.

Zhao Mu was extra careful on the next journey, and he didn't meet anyone again, until he stopped at a small door on one side, knocked on the door a few times, the door opened, and he stepped in immediately.

It didn't take long for him to meet the boss he had mentioned just now—Gu Changming, a sixth-rank attendant of the Imperial Academy.

Gu Changming didn't believe it when he heard the servants say that Zhao Mu was here at first, but he couldn't believe it until he saw the person with his own eyes.

"Do you want to die? Didn't I tell you not to come here? I will look for you. Why are you still here when it's so dangerous? You don't want to die?"

The delicately packaged tonic in Zhao Mu's hand had been thrown away by him for a long time, he shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the time to care about this now, I can wait, Master can't wait, I heard it when I was on duty today Some people say that many people died in the school festival, but this time there is a teacher among the people leading the team! I don’t know if the teacher is in danger.”

Hearing him talking about his wife, Gu Changming didn't bother to blame him for his recklessness: "I was about to tell you about this, but who knew you came so fast, I asked a few cousins ​​and third uncles, so I asked Got some news..."

Zhao Mu's heart seemed to be clenched tightly, he couldn't help holding his breath and asked, "What news?"

Gu Changming's face darkened: "Master and our classmates... I'm afraid... I'm afraid something will happen to them..."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Mu immediately retorted. In his opinion, how could the Master die so easily, he said with a livid face, "Where did you get the fake news? It's not accurate at all."

Gu Changming knew that he was sad and refused to believe it for a while, but why not? When he first learned about it, he always thought that the third uncle was lying to him, until the third uncle gave him a list...

"It's not just that you don't believe it, I don't want to believe it either. But at that time..." Gu Changming didn't know how to explain it. Did someone as good as Master disappear?

Enduring his grief, he told Zhao Mu the news he had received in detail: "It is said that there were killers on the top of the mountain to assassinate the prince, and there were gangsters setting up an ambush at the foot of the mountain. As soon as they came out of the mountain pass, they would be shot to death by random arrows. them……"

Zhao Mu refused to believe this possibility, and said decisively: "The person who died may not necessarily die, I heard that some people escaped, Master and the others must be able to..."

Gu Changming raised his head and glanced at Zhao Mu, the red blood in his eyes made people startled, and a bad premonition surged in Zhao Mu's heart.

"I think so too. Others may not be able to escape, but Master is different. He must be able to, but...but I found a list..."

Zhao Mu asked eagerly, "The list? What list?"

"It's the list of standing positions in various academies during the school festival..."

"...Master, where were they standing at that time?" Zhao Mu couldn't wait for him to answer and asked. He remembered that they stood in the middle when they participated in the school festival. The assassination should not affect the master for a while.

And as long as the master is given enough time, I believe they will react, but Gu Changming's reaction is not like this?

Gu Changming's next sentence gave him an answer.

"Master, they are standing in the last position, and that position is probably the first one to be shot..."

Zhao Mu still didn't believe it: "Impossible, I remember that we stood in the middle back then, how could Master and the others stand last, it's completely impossible."

Gu Changming smiled wryly: "Yeah, I thought so too, but someone escaped, and I saw that person, and he escaped by pretending to be dead, and that person was in front of Qingming Academy.

The man said that he heard people from Qingming Academy say that it’s cooler to be at the back, but it’s not that there’s no need to fight for the front row, it’s hot and tiring..."

As for why the man was saved, he did not say.

cooler?Zhao Mu tried his best to recall where the last location was, and a small forest immediately appeared in his mind.He didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "It really looks like a master..."

Standing at the back to cool off for a while, this is indeed something the master will do!

What he didn't know was that the small forest in his memory had grown into a big forest, and it was much cooler than he imagined.

……

After a lot of grief, the two had no choice but to accept the fact that Ji Yuanchuan and those hundreds of fellow apprentices were all dead.

Since people are dead, they must collect their corpses, otherwise they will become lonely ghosts without anyone to worship, and they may not even be able to be reincarnated as adults again.

Fortunately, although Gu Changming's official position is not high, his relatives are quite capable, and it didn't take long to find out where the unclaimed corpses were thrown.

Unable to hide their grief, Zhao Mu and Gu Changming took several other students from Qingming Academy to the mass grave on a dark and stormy night...
