It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 361

There are different ways to convey and hide messages.

Guard Thirteen wandered around the city and soon found a familiar sign in a hidden place.

Following the signs, he first successfully dug out a few thin bamboo tubes from the cracks in the wall of an unused livestock shed, and then led the donkey cart into a dead end of an alley where no one came and went.

Hidden by his body and the cart, Shisan quickly took out the note from the bamboo tube, glanced at it, and handed it to Jiang Yan, signaling her to write it down as soon as possible.

The donkey snorted a few times and kept stamping its hooves on the spot.

After a while, Jiang Yan returned several pieces of paper filled with information. Shisan took them and hesitated for a moment, then tore them into pieces, closed his eyes, and stuffed them into his mouth and swallowed them.

Jiang Yan: ...

She couldn't help but put her fingertips close to her nose and sniff. There was indeed a hint of livestock odor, it was not an illusion.

A true warrior dares to eat it... Jiang Yan's eyes were full of indescribable respect.

Thirteen's face darkened as he saw it from the corner of his eye. "Let's go. Let's take a closer look."

……

Driving a carriage with a patient around the city, it is natural that some people will become suspicious when they see so many people.

Seeing that something was wrong, Thirteen quickly turned around and left the city.

At the city gate, the gatekeeper and the maid took the two people into a small house on the side and searched them carefully, even checking the seams of the carts. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, they rudely pushed the people out of the city and let them go.

On the way back to Xiakou County, Thirteen was still a little dissatisfied and wanted to say something when he saw a group of people galloping from the direction of Baishui County.

The dust raised by the horse's hooves made Jiang Yan cough uncontrollably even though he covered his mouth and nose, but his eyes were half-closed involuntarily to remember the faces of people passing by.

Thirteen swung the donkey whip, and this time, the speed was a little faster.

About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yan heard some movement behind him. He looked closely and saw two people riding horses towards them.

Everyone was some distance away, and with the dust and smoke obscuring their vision, Jiang Yan couldn't distinguish faces, let alone confirm whether the newcomers were friend or foe. He quickly warned Thirteen, "There are two people on horseback chasing us from behind. It's possible they're the group that just rode past."

Thirteen turned around and took a look: "You're exposed?"

Jiang Yan rolled her eyes: "You're the one who gave yourself away."

"That's okay, it's probably not directed at us."

Thirteen said this, but he whipped the donkey more frequently and soon drove the donkey into the woods on the side.

The trees in the forest were not crowded, but the uncultivated land was covered with clumps of shrubs, which were particularly lush in the summer and hindered the progress of the donkey carts.

Without waiting for Jiang Yan to speak, Shisan looked around, tied the donkey to a nearby tree trunk, covered her mouth and quickly hid her somewhere, then moved to a more remote place to observe from a hidden place.

Jiang Yan almost suffocated to death because she covered her mouth and nose at the same time.

She lay at the bottom of the pit with her mouth tightly shut, her chest rising and falling rapidly, but in her mind she kept complaining about Shisanbai's clever appearance.

This makes them look even more suspicious and guilty.

The weapons and medicines they brought with them were hidden somewhere else. Jiang Yan now had nothing to defend himself with and felt completely insecure.

She maintained her current posture, but her eyes kept searching nearby for scattered stones or hard tree roots that she could throw.

None in front.

None on the left.

There is none on the right side either.

The riders had followed the tracks into the woods.

It's really aimed at them!

Jiang Yan's heart tightened when he heard the noise. He carefully turned over and lay on the ground to observe through the bushes.
