After listening to the chief guard's words, Empress Dowager Jing Chun's lips trembled in anger. She glanced sharply at the chief guard, but in the end she couldn't restrain her anger, and threw the teacup on the small table next to her to the chief guard's face, "What did you say?"
"Queen Mother, please calm down... Last night, my subordinates did see someone leaving the room where Su Mucheng was held, but that person had the same face as the maid lying on the bed this morning. His body and face were all like sculptures. The ones that come out are generally the same." The chief guard lowered his head and knocked his head on the ground, he couldn't tell what he was suffering. Who would have thought that Su Mucheng would have such a superb disguise technique, so that no one could see anything wrong at all, "After my subordinates found out that something was wrong, they have already sent people to search the palace."
Empress Dowager Jingchun put her fingers on the small table tremblingly, and raised her upper body slightly. It took a long time to suppress the anger surging in her heart, and she said to the chief guard who was kneeling on the ground with a livid face: "Then what are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and give it to me?" Find someone! In the palace, and in the city of Bianjing, even if I turn the palace upside down, I have to find him!" She closed her eyes, and the words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth , "Drag those two maids out of the palace and beat them to death with sticks. Don't let me see them again."
"Yes, I will immediately send someone to seal the gate of the city. It is impossible for Su Mucheng to find a way to leave the palace so quickly." The chief guard did not dare to speak loudly. He understood the last words of Queen Mother Jing Chun, but actually It was for him. Those two maids were just innocent victims. If he could not lead the other guards to find Su Mucheng, then the fate of these two maids would be their future.

After Li Luo left the palace, he immediately stole a set of short coats that ordinary people usually wear from the people's house next door, and quickly changed his appearance, from the original appearance of a court lady to a man.
The Universal Yirong Pill said that it is valid within 24 hours, which means that it can be disguised as any person within these 24 hours, and there is no limit to the number of times. What he looks like now is a rough man with a beard on his chin.
Li Luo touched the beard on his chin and nodded in satisfaction. Even if Qin Yu was standing in front of him now, he still couldn't recognize that this person was him.
It is estimated that when another court lady comes in to bring him washing water in the morning, she will find that he has escaped, but they will definitely not believe that he has already left the palace now.
But even so, he couldn't just relax his vigilance. He had to follow the earliest people out of the city gate the moment the city gate opened. Only when he left the city gate could he be truly safe.
Although he didn't sleep all night, Li Luo didn't feel sleepy at all. He just stared at the alley not far from the city gate, quietly waiting for the moment when the city gate opened.
The sky began to slowly turn pale, people's voices gradually appeared in Bianjing, and figures gradually appeared at the city gate. Some of them came to the city to start a small business, or to buy necessities for the family. Because they couldn't catch up with the closing time of the city gate last night, they stayed in the common people in Bianjing city.
Li Luo mingled among these ordinary people and waited with them for the opening of the city gate.
He followed those people out of the city gate for a few kilometers, and Xiao Qi jumped out and shouted in his mind: "Master, please pay attention, there are more than a dozen horses galloping over 600 meters behind you. The people above are wearing the same clothes as the guards standing outside the room where you were imprisoned before."
Li Luo immediately became vigilant, looked at the people walking in twos and threes around him, he didn't react immediately, but slowly approached the nearby hillside. While no one was paying attention to him, he quickly rushed into the tall grass growing there, which was as tall as half a person.
The moment he hid in the grass, he could see waves of dust rising from the official road not far away, and a dozen horses appeared in his eyes in an instant.
Almost in the blink of an eye, those dozen or so horses surrounded the people who were still walking.
Li Luo immediately felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his forehead, if it wasn't for Xiao Qi's reminder, he escaped with great difficulty, and now he might have to go back again.
After the dozen or so people surrounded the people and drove them back to the city, and finally disappeared from his sight, Li Luo squatted in the grass and waited for a long time before coming out of his hiding place, changing the direction and continuing walking go.
It would take a month to ride a horse from Sushui City, the next city Qin Yu wanted to attack, not to mention that he was walking on two feet.
From this point of view, he should indeed buy a means of transportation, at least it can make him travel faster. To buy a horse, at least four or fifty taels of silver is needed. He didn't know how many taels of the gold thread he collected, and he didn't know whether he could raise enough money to buy the horse, and he couldn't exchange all the gold thread for money at once. If you can't afford a horse, you should still be able to buy a mule and ride it.
Li Luo made up his mind that as soon as he came to a town that was a little more prosperous, he would exchange some of the gold thread on hand for silver and buy a mule as a means of transportation.

Li Luo rode a white mule and headed towards Sushui City. Now as long as he returns to his original appearance, he will choose to sleep in the wild.
Only when he could disguise himself as someone else would he find a place to stay, stay for one night, buy some dry food the next day, and continue on his way.
Due to the increase in the number of uses, the cooling time of the Universal Yirong Pill has gradually changed to seven days.
A mule's footsteps are slower than a horse's. It took more than one and a half months for Li Luo to walk 95% of the way.
Now it only takes two more days for him to arrive at Sushui City.
At this time, Li Luo didn't know that it was because the Queen Mother Jing Chun had captured him, leaving Qin Yu with nowhere to vent his anger, so he vented all his anger on the battlefield. The captured city, now under the attack of the furious Qin Yu, had already fallen ten days ago. And Qin Yu had already rectified the army and headed towards Bianjing.
Even if he arrived at Sushui City now, he was destined not to be able to reunite with Qin Yu.
