Chapter 166 Leaving Zhao and going to Vietnam (in memory of the fallen heroes, China must
Victory! We must win in the fight against the epidemic!)
Early the next morning, not long after the gates of Luo City were opened, a small group of people followed the flow of people leaving the city and slowly walked out.
Two of the people in this group were sitting in the carriage, and the rest were riding horses and surrounding them. At this time, the carriage door opened, and a man in green clothes stepped out.
"Hey! Isn't this the prince? Why are you in a hurry to leave after visiting Luo City for only a few days?" The sergeant guarding the city asked with a smile on his face as he looked at the man who got off the carriage.
This person was the gatekeeper sergeant whom Liang Yan and Lin Ziqing met when they entered Luo City that day, and the "Prince" in his mouth was naturally Lin Ziqing in disguise.
"Haha, something unexpected happened at home. Although the fireworks in Luocheng are great, I have no intention of staying here. I just hope that I can rush home as soon as possible to deal with various matters." Lin Ziqing said with a smile.
"That's it!" the sergeant said with a solemn expression: "The affairs of the Wang family are originally a humble matter, but by chance, the prince chose to go out of the city today, but he was in some trouble."
"Oh? What's the trouble?" Lin Ziqing frowned.
The sergeant glanced around, leaned in front of her and whispered: "I don't know what happened last night, but a strict order was issued from the city lord's palace. Starting today, all people leaving the city need to be strictly interrogated."
"There is such a thing." Lin Ziqing was shocked and vaguely guessed that this matter might be related to Liang Yan.
However, she had also experienced strong winds and waves. At this time, the expression on her face did not change at all. Instead, she calmly took out two ingots of silver from her sleeves and quietly stuffed them into the hands of the sergeant.
"The matter at home is really urgent, can you please be accommodating?" Lin Ziqing clasped her fists and smiled.
The sergeant weighed his hands and put them into his sleeves very quickly, and then said with a cheerful smile:
"The Wang family has been loyal for generations and is the backbone of the country. I have been admired by my subordinates for a long time. Today I saw that it is indeed worthy of its reputation!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said to the soldiers behind him: "Let us go!"
"Sure enough, gold and silver can't be worn by thousands of people!" Lin Ziqing secretly laughed in her heart, immediately got on the carriage, and directed everyone to go out of the city.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind everyone. Lin Ziqing turned around and saw three middle-aged men in black riding horses from the city.
These three people have stern faces and extraordinary demeanor, and at first glance they are not ordinary warriors.
"What team is passing in front?" one of them suddenly asked the sergeant guarding the city.
"Your Majesty, this is the Wang family's team." The sergeant replied respectfully. He had seen these people before him. Even the Lord of Luo City was polite to them, so how could he dare to neglect them.
"Wang family?" One of the men in black frowned and said, "I have to investigate even if the King of Heaven comes here!"
Then he raised his hand and waved, and saw a token fly out, hitting the sergeant on the head.
"Ouch!"
The sergeant touched his swollen forehead, but did not dare to say anything at all. He just took the token in his hand and looked at it.
"It's actually the city lord's order! These people are so powerful!" the sergeant thought to himself.
"Hmph! From today on, our people will be in charge here. All people leaving the city need to be strictly investigated and no suspicious person will be leaked."
As he spoke, the man rode forward, walked up to Lin Ziqing's team, and looked at each person carefully.
"My lord, Xiao Ke is the legitimate son of Wang Ce's family, and he is not a criminal." Lin Ziqing saw him coming and just smiled slightly.
"Hmph, the Wang family is not the Wang family. In my eyes, they are just like chickens and dogs." The man in black said with an arrogant expression.
"You" Lin Ziqing had an "angry" look on her face, but she looked like she dared not speak out in anger.
The man in black seemed quite proud when he saw this. He glanced at everyone, then turned to look at the carriageway: "Who is sitting in this carriage?"
"It's my cousin!" Lin Ziqing regained her composure and replied calmly.
"Open the car door and take a look!" said the man in black.
"Here" Lin Ziqing showed a hint of embarrassment, "My cousin is sick and it's really inconvenient. I wonder if we can be accommodating?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
The man in black looked impatient and stretched out his hand to open the door curtain of the carriage.
"Ahem. Ahem!"
Inside, I saw a middle-aged man in a white robe, covering his lips and coughing, looking sickly.
The man in black frowned slightly, looked at the people in the carriage carefully, and finally lowered the door curtain.
"Let's go!"
He waved his hand, seemingly no longer interested in this group of people, and rode back to his two companions.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Another man in black asked in a low voice as he looked at the motorcade that was getting further away.
"No, they are all mortals without spiritual power, and their appearance is not the same as the portrait on the fatwa. Moreover, these people are retainers of the Wang family, so there should be no problem." The man in black who had previously inspected Lin Ziqing's motorcade replied.
The man in black who asked the question before nodded and said: "No matter what, we cannot take it lightly. The young master was killed, and the family was shocked. In the early hours of this morning, a pursuit order was issued, and the thief was wanted throughout the Zhao Kingdom. Starting today,
We will guard Luo City and cannot escape a suspicious person!"
"Yes!" The other two men in black responded respectfully.
On the official road, a group of people was walking south.
The team was small in number, but they seemed well-trained, and no one was whispering to each other.
Among the crowd, there was a carriage, and two figures were sitting in the carriage. One of them was Lin Ziqing, and the other was the man in white whom she had just called "cousin."
"General Lin, the matter of returning to China is a big deal. Why don't you just start working properly and have to leave today?" The man in white asked the question.
"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, we are in an enemy country. Every day we stay there, there will be more variables. It is better to return to the country as soon as possible so that the Emperor can feel at ease." Lin Ziqing bowed slightly and said.
"Even so, why don't we go south along the Luohe River instead of taking this wild road in the forest? There are many bandits in the forest. No matter how good General Lin's martial arts is, he can't beat four hands with two fists!"
Ninth Prince Liu Qianchou frowned and said with some worry.
"The Luo River is winding and winding. It does not lead directly to the Yue Kingdom. Instead, it has to take many detours. In comparison, it is faster to take this forest path. Besides."
Lin Ziqing glanced out of the car as she spoke, and saw a young guard in gray clothes following there. His face was dull, his appearance was ordinary, his eyes seemed to be closed, and he seemed to have fallen asleep on the horse.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at Liu Qianchou again, with a smile on her face and said: "Besides, mere bandits and young people are nothing to be afraid of."
Seeing her confident look, Liu Qianchou felt slightly reassured, nodded somewhat understandingly, and finally said no more.
