Chapter 1895 Cross Fire
More than five hours later, they finally arrived at the train station in Dandong, the northernmost city of Kajie Kingdom.
As the two had agreed, Li Chengmei went out first and Xuan Haixiu watched from behind.
In this way, the two people left the train station safely.
However, the two people looked obviously different from northerners.
They came from the capital, and they had the air of being able to have enough food all year round, which made them different from the locals at first glance.
So this caught the attention of a station staff.
After Xuan Haixiu watched Li Chengmei leave, he was about to follow and meet her.
But just before the battle, he was stopped by the staff.
"Wait a moment, sir!"
The staff looked him up and down with suspicion.
"Excuse me, we received intelligence that an important person from Pulisang tried to escape by train. Judging from your attire, you must have come from Pulisang, right?"
Xuan Haixiu still wanted to quibble.
"What are you talking about? I'm not that kind of person!"
The staff member said: "Then please hand over your ID! I must confirm your identity to avoid letting someone escape who shouldn't be let go!"
Xuan Haixiu felt a little scared.
His identity was not checked. If someone really took it seriously, Cui Ze would soon find out that he had come to Dantong.
The staff member was in his forties, an old railway employee with very sharp intuition.
He saw Xuan Haixiu's guilty expression, his eyes became sharper, and he stretched out his hand and clamped Xuan Haixiu's wrist tightly!
Although he looks thin, he is surprisingly strong!
"Come with me! We must carefully confirm your identity before we can let you go!"
Xuan Haixiu was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his head. Because of the noise here, several staff members not far away looked over.
There were also a few railway police officers who seemed to be heading this way.
Xuan Hai Xiuyi gritted his teeth, reached into his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes and stuffed it into the station attendant's hand.
"Please, please!"
He didn't know what to say at this moment, he could only pray that the other party would let him go.
When the station attendant saw the cigarettes, his eyes lit up.
When Xuan Haixiu came, he brought some special products from Pulisang with him, which are in short supply even in Pulisang.
Not to mention in a remote and poor place like Dandong.
But he could not have imagined that a pack of cigarettes like this could provide a family of three with enough mixed noodles to eat for a month!
The station attendant hesitated for a moment, quietly put the cigarette into his pocket, and then walked around him to check other people.
Xuan Hai Xiuru felt as if he had been pardoned, and he quickened his pace as if he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word.
After they were far away from the train station, he and Li Chengmei made sure that there was no one else around, and then they hugged each other tightly!
The first step of escaping from Prisang has been successful.
But if it is too early to be happy now, it would be too naive.
The hardest thing is yet to come.
It’s not enough to just come to the border.
If they wanted to go to the Kuton Empire, they had to cross the long border in the north of Dandong, where there were snow-capped mountains.
The two had no means of transportation and could only cross the mountains on their own.
But there were many sentry posts in the middle.
This was left over from the war period. In order to prevent invasion from northern countries, the outposts are particularly dense.
The two were worried that if they received an order from Prisang, they would lose their only chance to escape, so they quickly ran north.
They were not familiar with this place and came to Dandong with a burst of energy, but they had no idea how to cross the blockade.
It's impossible to ask the locals, right?
The two began to walk far along the blockade, observing where the route was better.
However, such sneaky behavior would naturally be easily discovered by border soldiers.
They were also shouted at many times and told to stay away.
Xuan Haixiu and Li Chengmei had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep a certain distance and pretend to take a walk nearby.
But in the middle of the night, this kind of action was extremely strange.
Later, when Xuan Haixiu recalled, he understood why the border soldiers did not come to arrest them.
Because every year there are so many people like them who want to cross the border.
Besides, the soldiers here are just following the rules and are not emotionless plants.
So much so that no one arrested them despite their ridiculous behavior.
But at this moment, they were really too anxious.
By this point, the commander should have woken up.
He will be entertaining foreign guests in the evening and they may not take his role as the cook seriously.
But the next day, he would definitely give an order and send people to arrest them.
A random order from the superior could be a disaster for the couple.
time does not wait.
The two men walked along the border for nearly two hours and hesitated for a long time, but there were sentry posts everywhere.
In the end, Xuan Haixiu and Li Chengmei discussed it and decided that they could not wait any longer!
They chose a path that looked shorter, which led to a frozen river and the other side was about 20 meters away.
If you run all the way there, you can successfully reach the Kuton Empire.
The two men acted as soon as they said they would. They took advantage of the cover of night, avoided the light of the searchlight, and sneaked over quietly.
As a result, when the two men had just run to the river and were about to rush forward hand in hand, a dazzling beam of light shone directly on them!
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The gunshots were particularly cruel in the cold darkness.
It's like the death knell.
Xuan Haixiu's body suddenly froze in place, and he felt as if the life was being stripped away from his body.
The black muzzle of the gun was aimed at them.
Li Chengmei and Xuan Haixiu fell on the ice.
What you think you are brave turns out to be so vulnerable when facing death.
Xuan Haixiu thought he was dead.
But when he was dragged to the checkpoint like a dead dog by the border soldiers, he found that there was no blood on his body.
Li Chengmei was fine, but her face was extremely pale and she was so scared that she couldn't utter a word.
Xuan Haixiu breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that the previous gunshots were just warnings. The soldiers did not really shoot at them. The whistling sound of bullets in their ears was the sound of bullets hitting the ice.
A young man who looked like an officer came over and threw the thick dog-skin hat in his hand on the table. The yellow light burned the faces of the two men.
"Tell me, what's wrong with you? Don't you know that crossing the border without permission is a serious crime?"
The officer looked at the two of them with a joking expression.
As a border guard, he has seen too many such situations.
Li Chengmei's lips were trembling, and she couldn't utter a word.
It was Xuan Haixiu who came up with a quick idea.
When people are at the moment of death, they can really burst out with wit that they don't have in normal times.
He slammed the table and started yelling instead.
"What are you doing? We were sent here from Prisun to carry out a special mission! You ruined a very important mission!"
The officer just looked at him with contempt.
How could such a trick fool an officer who had worked at a border outpost for several years?
Xuan Haixiu thought that at this time, the only way to survive was to risk one's life.
If they cannot escape, they will all die miserably as long as they wait until dawn and news from Prisang arrives!
So he just took out his proof.
When Xuan Haixiu came, he carried a special item in his heavy bag - a silver wine glass.
That is the proof of being a loved one.
"If you don't believe me, just look at this."
He deliberately spoke loudly, as if he was very angry.
In fact, at this time, Dantong’s soldiers couldn’t resist the wine glass. Only the top leaders of Kajie country knew about this thing.
But Xuan Haixiu was lucky, because the officer in front of him happened to be from Prisang.
The quality of this wine glass cannot be fake, he has similar things at home.
So immediately, his attitude towards Xuan Haixiu became respectful.
"I'm sorry, sir, to have frightened you."
Xuan Haixiu felt relieved, but he had to pretend that he didn't care on the surface.
"Forget it, you don't know either, so it's not your fault. We still have important tasks to do, so send us away now!"
The officer frowned when he heard this, but said nothing.
The wine glass of the beloved one is indeed real, and the two people in front of him also came from Prisang.
However, their behavior was indeed strange and still made the officers suspicious.
He opened his mouth and said, "It's very dangerous here. People can freeze to death at night. You two should rest here for a night! We'll talk tomorrow."
Tomorrow he will report to his superiors to confirm the identities of these two people.
Xuan Haixiu's heart tightened. If that were the case, both of them would definitely die!
Xuan Haixiu looked at the young officer in front of him, and then looked at the border guards around him who were watching the fun.
He quickly took out his backpack and took out the cigarettes and good wine he had brought with him.
"Okay, okay! You all have worked hard, come, try this!"
"These are the good cigarettes and wine brought from Prisun. It is said that the commander also smokes this brand of cigarettes!"
Life is very hard for soldiers guarding the northern border.
Seeing these luxurious things, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Chengmei also came to her senses. She was a smart woman and certainly knew what to do next.
The two men took out all the cigarettes and alcohol they had, stuffed them into the soldiers' hands and lit them.
Li Chengmei also took the initiative to take out the bacon and bread that she had brought with her on the road.
These are also foods that they cannot eat on a normal day.
The soldiers were so happy that they forgot for a moment that the identities of Xuan Haixiu and Li Chengmei were questionable.
As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food should be grateful to him, and soon their attitude towards the two people became warm.
Everyone was smoking and drinking in the crowded outpost, and the alcohol soon made them drowsy and confused.
Xuan Haixiu waited until the young officer was drunk and his face turned red, then took the opportunity to say that they both had important matters to attend to and had to leave.
The officer agreed with a cheerful wave of his hand.
Xuan Haixiu and Li Chengmei were afraid that they would go back on their word, so they hurriedly left the outpost hand in hand.
"go!"
Xuan Haixiu whispered to Li Chengmei.
While the people inside are still eating and drinking, now is the best time to escape!
At this time, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning.
They can't delay any longer, they will die anyway, so they might as well fight!
The two men ran all the way and came directly to the river surface, then ran to the other side desperately.
Suddenly, there was a shouting and cursing voice behind me.
It turns out that there are cameras on the river surface that will alert the soldiers in the outpost based on the movement of human figures.
