Chapter 101 - Chapter 101: Escape

The weather is getting colder and colder.

More than a hundred kilometers away from the City God Temple, in the flying snow, only two figures were seen walking with difficulty.

The one in front is a gorgeous woman.

The woman was wearing a mink coat and was extremely beautiful.

The wind and snow blew on her frozen white face, and she walked forward with difficulty against the wind and snow.

Behind him was a seriously injured old man with a broadsword on his back.

The old man had several sword wounds on his back, one of which pierced his entire shoulder blade.

The bloodstains had dyed his clothes red, but the old man still gritted his teeth and protected the woman in front of him as he moved forward.

I don't know how long I walked.

Sudden.

A shrill crow's cry cut through the wind and snow and fell into the ears of the two men.

"Oh no, they're chasing us!"

The seriously injured old man's face suddenly turned ugly the moment he heard the strange crow's cry.

Then he immediately turned around and said to the beautiful woman in front of him, "Princess, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't accompany you for the last part of the journey. Here, this is my last disguise pill! Princess, please take it quickly!"

Finished.

The seriously injured old man quickly took out a little finger-sized emerald green pill from his arms and handed it to the woman.

"My Lady, be careful! Once you take this pill, don't reveal your true identity, lest those bastards discover you!"

"Also, you must never tell anyone about your secrets!"

Li Qinghuang took the pill and nodded heavily.

Then, he looked up at the seriously injured old man in front of him and asked, "What about you, Mu Lao?"

The seriously injured old man gave a miserable smile.

"I have been in Prince Yan's mansion for so many years and have always been well taken care of by Prince Yan. Now, it is time for me to repay my debt!"

Hearing the old man say this, tears welled up in Li Qinghuang's eyes.

"Princess, although I cannot accompany you on the journey ahead, I believe you will survive. Only by surviving can we avenge your parents and redress the wrongs done to our Prince Yan's Mansion!"

"Princess, hurry up and leave! It will be too late if you don't leave now."

After the seriously injured old man finished his bold words, he drew out the broadsword from behind him.

In the wind and snow, the old man stood with a knife in his hand.

"Mr. Mu..."

Li Qinghuang cried out with tears in her eyes.

But the old man with his back to her just shouted angrily: "Go!"

Looking at the old man's burly back, tears welled up in Li Qinghuang's beautiful eyes. Finally, she bowed deeply to the old man, then turned and left.

The wind and snow are getting stronger and stronger.

gradually.

The figure of the seriously injured old man was covered by the wind and snow.

Li Qinghuang didn't know how long she had been gone...

Her clothes were soaked by the wind and snow, and the biting cold wind blew on her face like a knife, but she still persisted.

Because she wants to live!

Only by staying alive can she avenge the 436 people in the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Qinghuang suddenly tripped over something and fell to the ground.

When she lowered her head and dug away the snow, a frozen dead face appeared in Li Qinghuang's beautiful eyes. What was even more terrifying was that there were corpses all under her feet.

Faced with this scene, Li Qinghuang was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

But she quickly adjusted her breathing and forced herself to calm down.

In this chaotic world, she had already seen too many dead people, so after seeing the situation clearly, she quickly calmed down.

"I want to live! I must live!"

Looking at the piles of dead bodies, Li Qinghuang finally took out the last disguise pill given to her by the seriously injured old man.

After taking out the disguise pill, she quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

Gulu!

The disguise pill enters the stomach!

In just a few breaths, suddenly, wrinkles began to appear on her originally beautiful face. Those wrinkles were like scars, distorting her facial features. What's even more amazing is that after taking the disguise pill, even her yellow-bird-like voice became hoarse and unpleasant.

In less than a moment, she, who was as beautiful as a fairy just now, suddenly became an extremely ugly woman.

Touching his distorted facial features, Li Qinghuang finally felt relieved at this moment.

"no!"

"I have to change all my clothes too. Otherwise, those bastards will definitely notice what I'm wearing."

Thinking of this, Li Qinghuang immediately took off his mink robe.

A perfect body exposed in the wind and snow.

Next.

He quickly picked up a few worn-out clothes from the corpses on the ground and put them on.

When everything was done, she, who was as beautiful as a fairy just now, suddenly turned into a real ugly woman fleeing famine.

After seeing himself transformed into this appearance, Li Qinghuang nodded with satisfaction, then looked up at Fengxue.

"I heard from Mu Lao that there is a small town called Qingyang Town ahead! Maybe I can survive there first."

After thinking this, she immediately walked forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a group of people fleeing famine suddenly appeared in Li Qinghuang's eyes.

Looking closely, the group of people fleeing famine included both men and women, young and old.

They were dressed differently, and each of them was carrying a package, walking with difficulty in the wind and snow.

When Li Qinghuang saw this scene, he couldn't help but blend into the crowd out of curiosity.

"Fellow countrymen, can I ask where you are from?"

Li Qinghuang asked a skinny man in a hoarse and unpleasant voice.

When asked, the man looked up at Li Qinghuang coldly and said, "We escaped from Qingyang Town."

"Qingyang Town?"

Li Qinghuang was stunned when he heard this.

According to Mu Lao, isn't Qingyang Town a prosperous town?

How come all these people escaped from Qingyang Town?

"Fellow villager, can you tell me what happened in Qingyang Town and why you said you wanted to escape from Qingyang Town?" Li Qinghuang asked again.

The skinny man said coldly, "Don't you know? Qingyang Town has been taken over by those damned bandits!"

After hearing this, Li Qinghuang finally understood.

No wonder these poor refugees fled from Qingyang Town. It turned out that Qingyang Town had been occupied by bandits.

After thinking for a while, Li Qinghuang asked again: "Where are you going now?"

"We are going to a place called Chenghuang(City God) Temple!" said the man.

"City God Temple?"

"Yes! I heard from the people ahead that there's a wealthy man called Chenghuang Temple nearby. He's not only rich and powerful, but he's also willing to take in poor refugees like us and keep us alive."

When Li Qinghuang heard that there was a kind-hearted "rich man" in the City God Temple who could take in these refugees, she looked up at the long line. Finally, she gritted her teeth and followed silently.
