Zhou Gang angrily scolded: “What a vicious trick, but how did they know that we will enter the city at this time? And only the two of us?”
Hu Feng looked up and watched the people coming and going in the alley. Then, he saw a strange face passed by him: “It’s the spy. How long did he come back after he was sent out?”
Zhou Gang thought for a while and said: “2 days, I sent a total of three spies, but only one of them came back. What’s more, he said that he didn’t see the envoy of the Jin Country, so they went forward without thinking too much.”
“Two days? From Qingyang to Jinyang, it’s only 60 miles away. If they rushed in there, they wouldn’t even travel for half a day, but they took 2 days. It was obvious that the real spy had been killed. The spy we met was fake. He deliberately gave us the news here at that time to lead us into this trap. “
Zhou Gang scolded: “Grandma, don’t let me see that kid again, or else I will tear him up.”
The woman who had been sitting behind Hu Feng listened to their conversation and suddenly understood that they were really not bad people. Instead, they were the people who came to meet them. It’s just, right in the middle, they were caught in this in the treacherous plot, and they were in danger.
“I just wronged you. I, Jin’er, will compensate you two!”
Zhou Gang waved his hand: “You don’t need to be like this. You protected your master sincerely. We admire it very much.”
At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers ran across the street and went to the city gate.
Hu Feng said: “We can’t get out of the city now, and we must not show up in front of those people. Otherwise, this false accusation will really fell on our head.”
Zhou Gang glanced back. There were mostly dilapidated old houses in this alley. There was no one on the road. They should be abandoned houses that have not been inhabited for a long time. “His Royal Highness, why don’t we take shelter here first, and then meet with our men. At that time, let’s see what these devils in Jinyang county can say.”
Hu Feng nodded his head: “Good, but these two horses must be hidden well. They are too eye-catching.”
Zhou Gang walked from the end of the alley. There were seven dilapidated houses in this alley. Only the innermost house was occupied by the elderly, and the other houses were deserted.
Zhou Gang hid the horse in the second house in the alley, and then they went to the fifth house. In this way, if someone checks the houses and finds a horse in the second house, it will cause some disturbances. At that time, they will have buffer time to escape.
There was a pear tree planted in the small yard. In this cold winter, the pear tree was standing bare and very desolate.
Hu Feng thought of the pear tree he planted in Huangtuo Village.
The dilapidated house was beyond imagination. There was heavy snow outside the house and light snow inside the house. The cold wind poured in, making the place even colder than outside.
Hu Feng took off his cotton-padded jacket and spread it in the corner of the room, then asked Zhou Gang to put Princess Qian Fang on his clothes.
Zhou Gang hurriedly took off his clothes and gave them to Hu Feng, but Hu Feng gave them to Jin’er: “Miss Jin’er, wear them.”
Jin’er has been frozen long ago. Seeing the warm jacket, she was naturally moved, but she still shook her head: “I’m a slave, you don’t need to care about me.”
Hu Feng stuffed the jacket to her directly, he didn’t say anything. He just turned around and led Zhou Gang out of the house.
“His Royal Highness, if we make a fire here, it’s alright during the day time, but if it’s at night, I’m afraid it will attract people.”
Hu Feng swung his sword and chopped off the dried pear tree. Then said without turning his head back: “Now, let’s burn it first. We will use this to make charcoal. Burning charcoal at night will not attract people.”

I don’t think HF knows how to make charcoal. The process can take anywhere up to a week, depending on how much wood is being converting, but won’t take any less than three days. Charcoal is made by baking wood in a large mound of dirt.
It just a novel. Everything will be allright 🤣🤣
damn right 🤣
survival is is always such an obstacle
