Zhou Gang nodded: “They’re here. A total of 18 people, all of them are soft-footed shrimp in the Yamen, but it’s hard to guarantee that they have no backup men.”

If it was just him and his highness, they could come out and face a hundred more of such soft-footed shrimps, they wouldn’t be afraid. But at the moment, they were still carrying two women. One unconscious and the other one would not last long. If the other party has bows and arrows, they would be in a great disadvantageous state.

He, Zhou Gang can take risks, but his highness cannot.

Zhou Gang quickly picked up Princess Qianfang on his back and tied her to his body with a long cloth: “Your highness, let’s go.”

Hu Feng got up and didn’t say much. It was not the time to fight. They have to retreat and not show their faces in front of these people, Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the matter.

When the people in the Yamen found the house, the charcoal in the room was still very strong, but the people had disappeared.

“Hurry up, they ran from behind.”

Hu Feng and Zhou Gang had no horses. They ran in a hurry in the slippery alley. There were chasing shouts in the distance.

Jin’er was tired from running, so she asked while panting: “Aren’t you Prince Jin? Where are your subordinates? How come there is no one helping you?”

Zhou Gang said, “Our people have been stopped outside the city. Don’t worry. When it’s dawn, the city gate will be open. Then we will pretend to be going out of the city to meet them.”

Jin’er said: “They are chasing us like this. Even if we can escape, it will not be easy to pretend coming out here tomorrow morning.”

Hu Feng stopped suddenly, looked at the gloomy homestead on the left side of the road, and said: “It may not be easy.”

He turned and jumped to the other side, Zhou Gang immediately followed, and Jin’er also jumped in easily and neatly.

Zhou Gang turned his head and glanced at her, then smiled and said “Miss Jin has a good skill.”

Jin’er smiled and said: “It’s just a few rough skills I learned all these years.” However, the smile on her face instantly stiffened when she saw what was in front of her.

“This, this, this is a graveyard?”

Hu Feng nodded: “Yes, this is a graveyard. A place where lonely souls and ghosts are stored. It is no wonder that such a remote place was chosen.”

Zhou Gang looked at the rows of officials and grinned: “This is really a good place to hide.”

However, Jin’er got goosebumps all over her body. Her lips even trembled when she said: “This, how can we stay here? Let’s, let’s change a place!”

Hu Feng took a glance sideways at the flames in the distance: “I’m afraid it’s too late to change places.”

After that, he pulled Jin’er inside the graveyard. The gate was half-open. There were a hundred coffins in the yard, and at least three hundred coffins stacked high and low in the house.

Zhou Gang slapped his mouth: “How many lonely ghosts have died this year?”

“Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, and find a place to hide.” Hu Feng had already opened a coffin at this time, a rotten smell immediately drifted out, and so he immediately closed the coffin again.

“Try to find a new coffin. Maybe there will be one that has just been delivered!” The weather was cold, if it was delivered in just a few days, it won’t be that smelly. They can hide in it, otherwise… …

Zhou Gang had already found a newer coffin. After opening it, the corpse inside seemed to be asleep, and the smell was not strong, so Jin’er hid first.

Generally, the corpse in the coffin will be covered with a longevity quilt. If a family member collects the corpse, the longevity quilt will pile up. However, if it’s the government who sent it to the graveyard, they will only symbolically put one or two.

After they entered the coffin, they first put back the lid on the coffin, and went under the longevity quilt, letting themselves press the corpse under them, then hide their trails.
