Creating a Different World - Chapter 2223
[Chapter 2223 Leaving the City]
Jia Zhengjin actually completely understood Lu Liang. Although it was a bit disrespectful to the daughter of the city lord to say this, if it were him, he would probably have to flee too.
No, in fact, he had already fled once when he became Lu Liang.
To be honest, Jia Zhengjin didn’t want to take these burdens with him.
It was quite easy for him to find the five pearls with Aperlastissa. But it would be more troublesome to take these three people with him on the road.
“You two are going with him?” Jia Zhengjin looked at Song Yi and Jiang Hui behind him.
“Yes!!” The two women nodded at the same time.
“What about your family?” If they didn’t leave, maybe Lu Liang couldn’t leave alone, so he wouldn’t have to take the burden with him.
Facing Jia Zhengjin’s question, Song Yi did not hesitate: “There is no one at home, I will go wherever he goes!”
“What about you?” Jia Zhengjin looked to the other side. Jiang Hui
hesitated for a second: “My father has several concubines to take care of him, and other brothers and sisters, but Brother Liang only has me. I want to go with Brother Liang.”
Unexpectedly, both women wanted to go with him.
This is a bit troublesome!
Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment: “Even if you want to leave, the city lord won’t let you go, right? If he knows that you are running away because Lu Liang doesn’t want to marry his daughter, it will be even more troublesome!”
“We have arranged it!” Lu Liang said hurriedly, “When it is almost dawn, before the city lord sends someone to find me, Yi Yi will show the soldiers guarding the gate a forged emergency task book, and then we will leave Shixin City together and flee before we find out that the task book is forged here! You came from Suiye City, and you must know the situation outside better than me. Please take us with you on the adventure. I also want to take a look at my father’s last adventure place.” Jia Zhengjin
looked depressed. He didn’t want to take these people with him.
Aperlastissa said: “Isn’t it good? This way, there will be someone to talk to on the road, and it won’t be boring.”
“I don’t need it! And they will slow down the progress.” Jia Zhengjin said softly.
“It doesn’t matter! Maybe we can use them on the road.”
“Don’t be funny, with the two of us, do we still need them?” Jia Zhengjin frowned.
“Take them! Believe me.” Aperlastissa smiled.
“With their limited abilities, they can’t even protect themselves.”
“It’s okay, I will protect them.”
“You?” Looking at Aperlastisa in doubt, Jia Zhengjin was even more unconvinced, “If you have such ability, why do you ask me for help?”
“That’s different,” Aperlastisa said, “Take it with you!”
Lu Liang, Song Yi and Jiang Hui stood at the door. They couldn’t hear what Jia Zhengjin turned around and muttered behind the door. They were curious about what he was talking to himself, but they could only wait.
After a while, Jia Zhengjin finally opened the door completely, sighed and said, “Come in first!”
“Thank you!” Lu Liang was overjoyed and turned back quickly, “Yi Yi, Hui Hui, come in!”
The three of them entered Jia Zhengjin’s house and sat down in the hall.
“There is an empty room upstairs. Is it okay for the three of you to squeeze together? Have a good rest tonight. We have to leave early in the morning.” Jia Zhengjin pointed to the stairs, “My house has only one master bedroom and one second bedroom, so make do with it.”
“It’s okay!” Lu Liang didn’t mind, “Then let’s go upstairs first.”
He quickly moved upstairs with the two women and put down the bags.
“Do we really need to take them with us?” Jia Zhengjin sat in the hall, looking at Aperlastissa on his shoulder, “It will be very troublesome.”
“It’s okay! Believe me, there are only benefits and no harm in taking them with us!”
“Really?”
“Really!”
Facing Jia Zhengjin’s suspicious eyes, Aperlastissa looked sincere.
Lu Liang and his two women fell asleep immediately after entering the house, and it was very quiet.
The next day.
Before dawn, Lu Liang, Song Yi, and Jiang Hui were ready and woke up Jia Zhengjin: “Jia Chong, it’s time for us to set off!”
“Yes!” Jia Zhengjin did not hesitate. The sooner he found the remaining pearls, the sooner Aperlastissa would recover.
The four of them got on the lizard car together, with Lu Liang driving, and rushed to the city gate.
The gatekeeper stopped the car: “It’s not time to open the gate yet, please wait patiently!”
“I have an urgent mission!” Lu Liang handed over an emergency mission booklet of the Yijun Pavilion, “Open the door quickly, don’t delay a single one.”
“Deliver life-saving medicine to Yanbian City?” The two soldiers carefully checked the stamp on the mission booklet and found that it was indeed correct, “I see, open the door quickly!”
“Thank you!” Lu Liang took back the mission booklet and said gratefully.
“You are the hero of our Shixin City, so there is no need to say thank you!” The gatekeeper opened the city gate, “It’s still dark outside, be careful!”
“I will pay attention!” Lu Liang nodded, and saw the city gate slowly open, feeling nervous and scared.
Fortunately, there was no accident, and the city gate opened smoothly, and no one came to intercept it.
The lizard car quickly left the city, taking Jia Zhengjin, Song Yi, and Jiang Hui to the main road, running at full speed.
“Close the city gate!” After the lizard car left, the gatekeeper closed the city gate again.
“We’re out! We made it out!” After the car ran quite a distance, even if the city lord found it and sent people to chase it, it would probably be difficult to catch up. Lu Liang was like a bird that escaped from a cage,
and he was extremely happy. Song Yi and Jiang Hui were sitting in the car. Seeing him so happy, they also smiled.
“Let’s go to the nearest Jinliu City to find the Holy Spirit Pearl first. Be careful not to let Lu Liang run in the wrong direction.” Aperlastisa reminded him softly in his ear.
Jia Zhengjin nodded and said directly to the outside: “Go straight along the road for ten kilometers and then turn left. Let’s go to Jinliu City first!”
“Ten kilometers?” Lu Liang had never been out of Shixin City, and this was his first time walking on this road. “Will you encounter dangerous beasts?”
“Just keep going forward and don’t worry about anything else.”
“Oh!” Lu Liang was still very worried about encountering dangerous beasts on the road. Fortunately, at this time, it seemed that all the beasts had not gotten up to work. The road was empty, and only the occasional thunder-like insect chirping could be heard in the distance.
“Look for the Holy Spirit Pearl in Jinliu City, then rush to Sishui City to find the Holy Water Pearl, then go to Yulin Valley to find the Holy Fire Pearl, and finally rush to the Wasteland Mine Cave to find the Holy Gold Pearl. Gather the power of the five pearls, and I will be able to restore my previous strength.” Aperastissa said in Jia Zhengjin’s ear, “It’s very simple, it won’t take long.”
Jia Zhengjin turned his head to look at him and said nothing. After all, Song Yi and Jiang Hui were sitting opposite them. They couldn’t see or hear Aperastissa, but they could hear their own words at such a close distance.
There was no conversation along the way, it was very quiet.
The lizard car ran wildly along the road, and suddenly stopped after about five or six kilometers.
“What’s wrong?” Jia Zhengjin, Song Yi, and Jiang Hui in the car all felt strange.
“It seems like there is some movement.” Lu Liang poked his head in and said softly, “Shh~ Listen carefully.”
