Longmen Pass is located on the pass between two mountains. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, it is not just a pass, but also includes the inner city, outer city, Luocheng, barbican city, moat and the north and south flanks of the Great Wall.

The upper walls of the Great Wall are dotted with towers, piers, and castles, and are composed of three lines of defense: the inner city, the outer city, and the moat. They overlap and defend, forming a system of one fire for five miles, one pier for ten miles, one fort for thirty miles, and one city for one hundred miles. defense system.

From this we can see that Longmen Pass is really dangerous and not easy to pass. Even if Jin Xiangyu is related to Qianhu at the border, that Qianhu will not take the risk to let him go.

After all, he learned that Jin Xiangyu was menstruating and was upset that his trip was in vain; when Jin Xiangyu was in danger, he sent Diao Buyu to call him at the border, but he refused to come to rescue; Lu Xiaochuan had five to six thousand taels of silver, but he didn't let Jin Xiangyu take advantage of it. It can be seen that he was a master who only took advantage and refused to suffer losses.

 Jade inlaid with gold is just a plaything to him, so how could he risk it for her.

 Furthermore, Xiang Nan suspected that Jin Xiangyu's claim that he could help people get out of confinement was probably just a trap.

Because most of the people who asked her to help them escape were wanted criminals, either criminal thieves or flower-picking thieves.

She can release the wind, help people escape from confinement, lure these people to the inn, and then take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of them. When the time comes, not only will you be able to take advantage of others, but you will also be able to get a reward, killing two birds with one stone.

 And those who were deceived by her have already become the stuffing of buns, and naturally they will not expose her. Therefore, her business is always new.

 …

Since it is inconvenient to leave the quarantine, it is better to do the opposite, do not rush to leave the quarantine and just find a place to hang out.

In this way, even if Cao Shaoqin had millions of troops, he would never be able to find them.

“No, we have already exposed our whereabouts and must be on the wanted list. Once we sneak back to the mainland, it will be easy for others to find out.” Qiu Moyan explained.

 He Hu, Tie Zhu, Jin Bao, Yu Ying and others have been exposed, and Dongchang must have sent their shadow figures to various places for wanted notices. As soon as they hit the road, they will be noticed quickly.

“Don’t worry, I have a solution.” Xiang Nan said.

 Later on, he used rouge and gouache inlaid with gold and jade, as well as flour and cotton from the inn, to help He Hu, Tie Zhu, Yu Ying and Jin Bao change their appearance.

With his uncanny skills, several people had completely changed their faces, making it impossible to recognize their original appearance.

 “What an amazing disguise.” When everyone saw this, they all exclaimed in admiration.

Most people disguise themselves, at most by putting on a beard or a mole, or pretending to be a man, but they cannot be hidden from the eyes of interested people, nor can they avoid the court's official documents.

 But Xiang Nan's disguise technique is different. Using flour, cotton, rouge, gouache and other substances, a person's face shape can be completely changed. Changing a long face to a round face, or a round face to a pointed face, really transforms into a completely different person.

It’s so magical, it’s really amazing.

 He Hu, Tie Zhu, Jin Xiangyu and others were all jealous after seeing it, wishing they could learn it.

 After all, what they fear most, as thieves, is to reveal their identity and be wanted by the court. If you learn Xiang Nan's disguise technique and change your appearance and makeup anytime and anywhere, you will be able to conquer the world.

“Isn’t that enough?” Xiang Nan said with a smile after helping several people disguise themselves.

Qiu Moyan couldn't help but nodded when he saw it.

 …

 Subsequently, everyone set up an incense table at the Longmen Inn and paid tribute to the soul of General Yang Yuxuan with the heads of more than a dozen Dongchang eunuchs, including Jia Ting, Lu Xiaochuan, and Cao Tian, ​​and then left the Longmen Inn and headed east.

 Xiang Nan pretended to be a pot-bellied businessman, Qiu Moyan, Jin Xiangyu pretended to be a female family member, Jinbao, and Yuying were still children. And He Hu, Tie Zhu and others pretended to be family members...

 Their kind of travel is still very common in Xiliang Road, and it will not attract people's attention at all.

 “Stop, stop, go through the customs inspection.” After walking a few dozen miles, we came to an intersection, and there were officials blocking the road for inspection. The leader was holding a stack of wanted notices and was checking the passers-by one by one.

 Tie Zhu and He Hu were both a little nervous when they met.

Xiang Nan looked at them and nodded slightly, signaling them not to be nervous.

Soon it was Xiang Nan and others’ turn.

"Thank you for your hard work, officials. We are businessmen and good people." Xiang Nan stepped forward tremblingly and said, "I don't know what you are checking. Don't scare your family."

The officer ignored him and took the pile of wanted warrants and checked them one by one against Xiang Nan and his party, even Qiu Moyan and Jin Xiangyu who were sitting in the carriage.

With sharp eyes, Xiang Nan saw at a glance the wanted orders for Zhou Huaian, He Hu, Tiezhu, Jinbao, Yuying and others. The portraits on the wanted poster are not 100% identical, but they are 80% similar.

 He had to admire Dongchang's ability to publish shadow graphics everywhere so quickly. If I hadn't had the ability to change my appearance and make-up, I would have been in a difficult situation and it would have been difficult to move forward.

The officer checked carefully and saw that no one was suitable. He could not help but waved his hand in frustration, indicating that he would be allowed to go.

 “Thank you, sir, for your hard work.” Xiang Nan immediately led the people away.

 …

By evening, they had passed Jiayuguan and entered Jiuquan County.

Although there were checkpoints and inspections along the way, fortunately, Xiang Nan’s disguise skills were superb and no flaws were revealed.

 After passing Jiuquan County, there were no checkpoints along the way.

Cao Shaoqin didn't expect that Xiang Nan not only did not leave the customs, but instead chose to enter the customs. He arranged most of his troops on the main road out of the customs, so his control over the entry was naturally loose.

 Hence, Xiang Nan and others can move more freely.

 He immediately sent a thousand taels of silver and separated from He Hu, Tie Zhu and others.

He Hu, Tie Zhu and others were gangsters who were active in Helan Mountain. The reason why they came to rescue Yang Yuxuan's children was not only out of loyalty, but also because they were hired by Qiu Moyan.

Now that the two children have been rescued and their mission has been completed, it is time to separate.

 “Take care, everyone, see you later.” Xiang Nan said with cupped hands.

"See you later." He Hu, Tie Zhu and others also said with hands, and then left.

Xiang Nan then sent the yamen servant away again, "Brother yamen servant, I'm really sorry this time for causing you innocent trouble. You can go home secretly. Remember, don't be a yamen servant anymore and live somewhere else."

 The yamen servant nodded.

This time three stalls in Dongchang were killed. Although he did not participate, he was also involved. Once the government investigates him, he will inevitably die, so he has no choice but to resign from his post and leave his hometown.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan gave him a bag of silver, which was enough to feed his family.

Jin Xiangyu also dismissed his men, "You should find a place to hide first, and meet us at the Longmen Inn in two months."

 They set out together in a group, and their goals were too big to hide, so they had to separate.

All the guys nodded and left.
