The carriage arrived at Lincheng before nightfall, and was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city at the city gate. They conducted an interrogation as usual. After learning that the two people came from Chengye City, they were refused entry to the city.
Qingge was the young man who led Liu Pinting to Yaoguo. He got out of the car to negotiate with the other party. After the two parties talked for a while, they heard the young man muttering: "Strange, when the master and I left, there was no such rule.
Ah!" while trying to explain his identity to the other party.
Perhaps the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. When Binting in the carriage accidentally heard what he said, her eyebrows jumped suddenly and her expression suddenly became solemn.
After a while, Qing Ge returned to the carriage and said with a distressed look on his face: "What should I do, girl? They said that they will not let you go unless there is a document of entering the city presented by any of the guards."
Liu Pinting glanced at Ziyu beside her. The weather was getting hotter and hotter now. If the other party's injuries were not treated, they would probably get worse. She pondered for a moment, then took out something from her waist and handed it to the other party.
: "Try this."
The young man took the thing in her hand, put it in front of his eyes and took a closer look. He saw that it was a transparent and warm jade pendant. It looked familiar. The young man paused slightly, and then his eyes lit up.
Full of surprise, he said: "Isn't this the master's jade pendant? I remember seeing it on the master once."
Liu Biting nodded, "This is indeed the jade pendant of the Sixth Prince."
When the young man heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened. He happily looked at the front and back of the jade pendant. At the end, he said with a hint of complaint: "Girl, if you have this, why didn't you take it out earlier? I didn't have to make peace with you just now."
They wasted so much saliva."
"I thought that since you were the person next to him, you would be able to enter the city smoothly." Liu Pinting said this calmly and in an innocent tone.
The young man blushed, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm just a little follower around the master. These people don't know me, and I don't have anything on me to prove my identity." Then, fearing that Liu Pinting would misunderstand,
He hurriedly explained: "Well, I didn't lie to you, I really belong to the master. However, I didn't follow him since childhood, but the master picked it up on the way to defend the country. At the beginning, I
When I passed by here with my master, it was not that strict and people from both countries could come and go at will as long as they simply registered."
Liu Pinting pretended to be casual and asked, "Then do you know why the screening of people coming here suddenly became stricter?"
The young man's eyebrows were bright and he said: "I just made special inquiries. It seems that it is because of the upcoming war. I heard that this is done to prevent spies from sneaking into the city."
When Liu Pinting heard what he said, she couldn't help but feel her chest tighten. She had already guessed it when she heard the other party muttering. Now that she had received confirmation, her mind sank again and again, but she continued to inquire with a calm face: "A war? With
Who fights?"
The young man said in an uncertain tone: "It should be with the garrison state. Just now I said that we came from Yecheng of the garrison state, and the reaction of the soldiers guarding the city was a bit special. Even the master couldn't help but explain it to me for most of the day.
They moved out, but they refused to let us into the city. Fortunately, the master's jade pendant is here, so we will see if they dare to stop us again."
