Four hundred and thirtieth eight chapters clearance
As soon as he finished speaking, his ears suddenly moved. He looked over the carriage and looked back. He saw a knight on the official road behind him holding a flag and shouting:
"Military emergency, everyone get out of the way!"
A small caravan consisting of three bullock carts behind him immediately ducked to the side of the road after hearing this, and the knight passed by.
Ye Chen's heart moved, and he also pulled the carriage to the side of the road, but when the knight was approaching, he suddenly punched out, with a powerful blow that knocked the knight and his horse away, and fell to the ground with a 'snap'
Slide out seven or eight meters.
Ye Chen pulled the reins and the carriage drove past the knight. He punched him again, blowing the knight's head to pieces, and rolled the body into the grass beside the road with a wave of his hand.
When an old man on the three bullock carts behind saw this scene, he dropped his pipe without realizing it, and screamed strangely:
"parking!"
When the bullock cart stopped, the old man immediately said:
"Turn around and go back to the city. Let's not go there yet."
Ye Chen didn't care if anyone saw him doing it. Now he had to pass the test. It didn't matter if anyone saw him.
When this knight came to the border gate at this time, there was a high probability that the order was sent to arrest them and they must be killed. Breaking through an unprepared level and entering a well-prepared level are completely different things.
Yes, if they pass the customs now, they can only force their way in because they don’t have proof of customs clearance.
Even if the order from the capital did not reach the border, they would not be able to pass smoothly. They could not pass without proof of identity, and Mu Wan'er would not be able to pass if she proved her identity.
She is one of the three great dukes of the Ning Kingdom. Just like a high-ranking official in reality, if she wants to leave her country secretly, she will not be able to pass the security check at the airport and will be controlled first on suspicion of treason.
This is a normal mechanism, even if they are not fleeing but want to leave normally, they cannot leave unless the king allows them to leave in the name of a special envoy.
Of course, this refers to taking the formal route. If you don’t take the official road and cross the border through the wilderness trail, it will be fine. However, the border dividing line between Ning and Zhao is a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles. The mountains are high and the forests are deep. Not to mention that the road is not easy to walk.
There are also countless beasts and ferocious beasts. It is said that some people have seen legendary monsters inside that are comparable to those with supernatural powers.
If he were alone, Ye Chen would definitely take a small path to cross there, but with five women, it would not be easy to cross the mountains that separate the two countries.
However, the idea was good, but when the carriage turned a corner along the official road and saw the huge checkpoint between two peaks at the end of the road, Ye Chen had to change his plan to forcefully break through the checkpoint.
The checkpoint is directly blocked between two peaks, blocking the entire road. If you want to pass, you can only pass under the gate between the two peaks.
It would be no problem if it was just an ordinary level, but this was a gated city with a formal moat and thick gates. It would be difficult for him to break through it alone, let alone with a group of people.
The carriage stopped by the road for a while, Ye Chen turned back and said to Wan'er:
"We may have to take a side road."
She nodded, and he pointed to the mountains stretching for an unknown distance in front of him and said to the four maids:
"We are going to cross this mountain range, do you want to continue to follow?"
The four girls nodded without hesitation:
"We do."
"Very good, then let's abandon the carriage and go into the wilderness. You'll have to protect us later..."
"Ye Lang, wait a minute."
Wan'er suddenly interrupted him and pointed to the back and said:
"A big caravan is coming. We can spend some money to cross the border with them."
Ye Chen turned around and saw a caravan consisting of more than a dozen oxcarts and carriages coming from behind the official road. His eyes flashed and he said:
"I'll go negotiate with them!"
After saying that, he jumped down from the car and stood next to the carriage.
His tall and strong body was naturally full of intimidation just by standing there. The caravan couldn't help but slow down when it saw him. The caravan guards guarding the caravan all became nervous. Some of them even had swords.
Pull out the sheath.
Ye Chen didn't do anything radical, he just cupped his hands from a distance and said loudly:
"I don't know which of the stewards has something to discuss with me."
The caravan stopped immediately. A middle-aged man in red brocade clothes jumped out of a carriage, and walked over protected by two strong men. He held his hands to Ye Chen from a distance and said with a warm smile:
"This good man, I am Bai Tong, the big shopkeeper of Bai's Medicine Store in Tongyicheng City, Zhao State. I am transporting a batch of medicinal materials back to China. I wonder what I want to discuss with this strong man?"
Ye Chen glanced at the caravan and indeed smelled a medicinal fragrance. He hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"I have something to discuss with Shopkeeper Bai. Isn't it convenient for me to discuss it in private?"
Bai Tong felt a little frightened and hesitant when he looked at his body, which was as strong as a bear.
Ye Chen could tell and whispered again:
"Don't worry, I mean no harm."
Bai Tong laughed, stretched out his hand and said:
"Your Excellency, please!"
When the two came to the roadside, Ye Chen said directly:
"My dear Zongchen, I and my family offended a nobleman of Ning State, and had to flee Ning State to Zhao State. However, I was unable to pass the border without identification. I wanted to ask shopkeeper Bai for help. As a reward, in addition to one hundred taels of silver, if there is anyone along the way,
If thieves dare to attack the caravan, I am willing to help."
Wen Yin Wan'er brought a lot of gold and silver, not much physical gold and silver, but tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, which were used by all countries in the continent, but he did not dare to say too much for fear that people would take advantage of his wealth.
One hundred taels of silver is a lot. Prices in this world are very healthy. An ordinary family of four or five people only consumes one or two taels of silver in a month.
Compared with the size of this caravan, one hundred taels of silver is nothing, but it is an unexpected fortune and extra income. Moreover, Ye Chen also promised to help escort the caravan along the way, which made Bai Tong even more concerned.
, after all, his size is so intimidating, just standing by the road alone makes the entire caravan as nervous as if it is facing a powerful enemy.
Bai Tong only hesitated for a few seconds and then said with a smile:
"It is always inconvenient for everyone to go out. It is convenient for others and for yourself. Brother Zong, I will help you with this. Brother Zong's carriage will follow my carriage later, and you will go out with me when the time comes."
Ye Chen cupped his hands:
"Thank you, Brother Bai."
"You're welcome!"
The two came back talking and laughing. Bai Tong and his stewards chatted a few words with the caravan guard captain. The caravan guard was no longer alert, but was still a little wary.
This is human nature, and Ye Chen didn't care. He returned to the carriage and told Wan'er and the four maids not to get involved. He waited for the caravan to come, and drove the carriage behind Bai Tong's carriage, which was located in the caravan.
centre position.
Let Hongyu come out and drive the carriage, and Ye Chen get out of the car and follow beside the carriage. There is a female family member who makes them feel more at ease when they see her.
Although Hongyu is a maid, in addition to serving Wan'er in the Duke's Palace, she is treated like a lady. She has an independent boudoir in the palace, and her conversation outside is no different from that of a lady. At first glance, it is impossible to say that she is a regular lady.
