Chapter 487 Trapped in the city

Chapter 487 Trapped in the City

The sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

Looking towards the rear, one could see a group of cavalry galloping towards them. Even if they were close to the city wall, the cavalry had no intention of slowing down. People lining up at the city gate to leave could only choose to get out of the way.

The cavalry team came to the city gate, showed their tokens and said: "General Shi is the vanguard. The city lord has an order. No one is allowed to leave the city, and no one is allowed to enter the city. Immediately close the city gate and wait for the order."

Turn on."

The vanguard seemed to have a good background, and the soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to neglect and immediately agreed.

Qiao Ye was pushed hard on the chest and pushed back, and then the soldiers shouted to close the city gate.

Qiao Ye couldn't help being dumbfounded, what the hell?

Others who were dumbfounded were Jin Shengyi and Qin Jianchuan. Their customs clearance documents had been checked and they were now standing at the gate of the city. Qiao Ye's customs clearance documents had also been checked, but the soldiers guarding the city had just handed over the customs clearance documents.

Return it to Qiao Ye, who hasn't had time to walk out yet.

Jin Shengyi winked at Qiao Ye, indicating whether he should take action or not.

Qiao Ye hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

I still don’t know what’s going on at the moment, just in case it’s not directed at me or I’m not exposed.

Qiao Ye took the customs clearance document and said to the soldiers guarding the city: "Sir, my customs clearance document has been checked and there are no problems. Why don't you let me out while the door is not closed?"

"Hey!" The soldier guarding the city glanced at Qiao Ye impatiently and said, "Can't you hear what the leader of the vanguard said? No one can leave the city and follow the city. If you want to go out so much, there is something wrong with your background.

?”

Qiao Yeqian smiled and said: "No, definitely not."

The soldier guarding the city said: "What's wrong with waiting a little longer? Come back!"

Not only Qiao Ye was complaining, but the people in line behind were also complaining a lot. They started shouting one after another. After waiting in line for a long time, they suddenly said they couldn't leave the city. What's going on?

The same goes for those who enter the city. Everyone in the Demon Realm is a demonizer, but being able to become a demonizer does not necessarily mean that you can go very far in your cultivation. Most of them are still just ordinary people who are dawdling, and many of them are

There are people who come all the way to sell goods, some even walk two or three days, but they are not allowed in when they get to the door. Some of them are melons and fruits. If they have to wait for a few days, they will be stopped directly.

"What are you arguing about?" The cavalry leader of the cavalry force whipped out a whip and said: "This is the city lord's order. If anyone is unwilling, believe it or not, I will arrest you and take you to the Demon Hall Prison?"

The surrounding complaints suddenly became much quieter. After all, the people do not fight with the officials.

A fat middle-aged man came forward, secretly stuffed some money and said: "Master, I don't know what the reason is? There is no problem in closing the city gate, but we must have some peace of mind."

The cavalryman snorted coldly, knocked down the money and said, "Is there anything you should ask? Just wait and don't try to get close to me here."

After the cavalryman finished speaking, he whipped his horse whip and left quickly with his men.

After the cavalry team left, the people blocking the city gate began to curse and complain to each other again.

"Stop talking, just wait and see." The middle-aged man who stepped forward to inquire before picked up the money and said, "I don't know if something big will happen this time."

Qiao Ye asked curiously: "How did you know?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Qiao Ye and said: "Young man, who has no idea what kind of virtues those gangsters have? If you have money for a good thing, how can they still push the money out?"

As the middle-aged man spoke, he blew the ashes off the money.

"So, I'm not in the mood to be greedy for this money..." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Can it be a trivial matter?"

There is really no way for anyone to refute this reason.

Qiao Ye couldn't help but take a look at the middle-aged man. He seemed to be a traveling businessman. He looked wealthy with his big belly, but his skin was a bit dark. He didn't look like someone who had stayed in one place for a long time. He could tell that he was an old man.

.

I can't get out of the city gate, and I don't know what's going on. The only thing I can know is that it may not be a trivial matter.

Qiao Ye secretly thought for a moment, although Lin Jiao had some skills, he wasn't that capable. He could just let people seal off the city in order to catch him, right?

Qiao Ye was thinking as she left the city gate, and took a piece of communication paper and wrote: Leave first, don't worry about me, I will find a way out of the city myself.

Since Qin Jianchuan and Jin Shengyi are out of the city, there is no need to stay inside. As for Qiao Ye herself, she is not very worried. At the moment, it is just that she cannot leave the city through regular channels, but it is not impossible for Qiao Ye to leave.

The thing is, a city wall, some low-level soldiers guarding the city, I can leave even if I don't forcefully break through.

However, you can first figure out whether this matter is directed at you.

Qiao Ye was thinking as she walked into a restaurant.

"A bottle of wine and two side dishes."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir!"

The waiter agreed and ran to the kitchen.

Qiao Ye was half leaning on the chair. Restaurants and tea shops were the two best places to get information, and the third place was the brothel.

Locking down the city is not a small matter. I am afraid it will not be long before word spreads throughout the streets. By then, some news will leak out.

Qiao Ye, don't be in a hurry, just wait slowly.

Sure enough, Qiao Ye sat for a while, and people around him began to discuss the matter of closing the city.

A table of new guests was sitting there, and one person whispered: "What's going on? Why is the door closed?"

"I heard they were arresting people!"

"Our Huacheng has always been relatively peaceful. There are neither rogues nor bandits around. It is very peaceful. How could we close the city just to arrest someone?"

"I don't know about this, but it seems to be really arresting."

"It's to arrest two women!" At this time, a man in the next building suddenly turned his head and said: "I have a relative who works in the magic hall. He said that he took the portrait. Now the whole city is searching for two women.

The woman is coming."

After saying this, the people around him became interested and immediately said: "Tell me, tell me, what's going on?"

The man spread his hands and said: "That's all I know. I don't know the origins of those two women, but they don't seem to be wanted criminals, but their origins are very unusual. I heard that not only the Demon Hall sent out manpower, but also the city lord

The government has also dispatched manpower, and even the vanguard battalion stationed outside the city has been transferred into the city, and some experts who are supported by the city lord have also shown up."

That person didn't know much, but he opened up the conversation among everyone, and many people started talking. Some said that the city lord's little wife ran away, and some said that the city lord had taken a fancy to a girl from a certain family and wanted to take it as his own.

As a result, they were unhappy and ran away.

Anyway, after a while, the topic went nowhere.
