Looking at the scarlet color, the guard tentatively spoke in fear: "Master Baihu... I don't know what's in this carriage..."
The leader of the "Hundred Households" did not even look back, but his face became colder: "I am going out of the city to carry out errands under His Majesty's secret order, but I still need to explain it carefully to you? If I delay the important matters that His Majesty has told me,
Can you bear it?"
The guard's heart tightened upon hearing this.
His Majesty’s secret decree...
At this moment, two "dong dong" sounds suddenly came from the carriage, together with the sound of someone struggling and whimpering.
The guard's scalp was numb, but he understood more and more in his heart.
With so much blood shed and such a fierce struggle... there must be important people among them who will be secretly escorted out of the city!
The things that the police officers do are mostly shady. Some officials even went to court in good condition the day before yesterday, but today they suddenly disappeared. No matter how you check, you can't find any results...
Thinking of this, the guard kept saying: "This is a villain who talks too much. Please don't blame me! Hurry, let me go out of the city!"
The four guards guarding the exit immediately moved to both sides.
Watching the cold-faced Lord of the Hundred Households riding his horse and whipping his whip and leading his troops away, the city gate guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and his eyes fell on the few drops of blood again.
He was also surprised just now. Where did he have the courage to talk so much? What happened to two drops of blood? When did these kings of hell have clean hands?
The moment the carriage left the city gate, Xu Mingyi and the others also breathed a silent sigh of relief.
In the car in the town government office, Wu Chao just released the hand covering his father's mouth.
"Father, I'm offended..." The young man patted his father's back a few times to calm down.
Prince Wu stared at his son dissatisfied.
He understands the expediency, but what's the point of targeting him specifically?
The Duke of Zhen was injured and couldn't cover it up. The future father-in-law didn't dare to cover it up, but wasn't there still a national master?
Thinking about him being a dignified son of the Wu family, being covered up by his son and fluttering around, and even being seen by his future in-laws, where should he put his dignity later?
The imperial master's brain was too active, which made things worse, and his on-the-spot reaction was bound to be less real than his father's. Wu Chaoquan pretended not to see his father's sad eyes, and said to the old man who was leaning against the wall of the car: "Don't worry, my lord, we have successfully left the city.
"
Duke Zhenguo nodded slightly, smiled weakly, and softened his tone: "Okay..."
Although there is still one last hurdle to pass, once you get out of this city gate, the meaning is different - no matter how bad the outcome is, it is better than being locked up in the city and being eaten by mermaids, and dying like a coward!
The Queen also had similar thoughts.
The day she knew the plan, she was more worried, and her first thought was even rejection - she didn't want the Wu family and the Xu family to take risks just for her. If her father really made up his mind, in order not to drag down this important matter,
She can take this life on her own.
From the moment she decided to enter the palace, she never thought about leaving alive.
But now...
The queen clutched her sleeves tightly, but her body gradually became lighter.
Because she could sense that the city gate was being left behind step by step, the carriage wheels were rolling, and with every roll, everything that belonged to the queen and the palace seemed to be lifted off her a little bit.
The Queen Mother held one of her hands, and she held it tightly, then looked at the girl sitting in front of her.
The girl was smiling at her, her smile was like a flower blooming under the morning sun in spring, brilliant and bright, full of vitality.
The queen also smiled, her eyes turned red, but the tears made her eyes brighter.
Even though no one spoke, the atmosphere inside the carriage was completely different from before leaving the city.
It's not really safe once you leave the city, but it doesn't hinder this short-term relaxation.
The final place of this trip was the Xu Family Military Camp.
The Xu family camp is still more than a hundred miles away from here.
But there is not only the Xu family's military camp outside the city, but also the Beijing camp stationed outside the city. The Beijing camp in the south of the city is about forty miles away at the foot of Dingyun Mountain, between the Xu family's army and the capital. In other words, this is where
Used to guard against the existence of Xu Jiajun——
Therefore, you must at least pass the scope of this military camp before you can truly escape the threat of the imperial court.
As for their group, if they just go south like this, they will usually not alarm the people in the Beijing camp, and news in the city always lags behind. Therefore, even if they encounter soldiers patrolling the camp by chance, if the number of the other party is not large, it will not be enough.
For fear.
They were just afraid that there would be pursuers behind them to send a message, and they would mobilize the troops in the camp to cut off their way...
Therefore, it seems that the defense is from the front, but actually it is from behind.
But now it's still those four words - the sooner, the better.
Ten miles outside the city is a dense forest.
There are two followers who have been waiting here for a long time in the forest, and there are enough horses.
The two of them came to Zhuangzi outside Wujia City.
Xu Mingyi jumped out of the carriage with Ah Zhu.
Compared with riding a horse, a carriage is ultimately too slow, especially if there are too many people in the carriage.
After leaving the city, those who can ride will change horses. This is a plan that has been made long ago.
"Sister, take care of the Queen Mother. Madam Prince will look after the child, and I will ride with Zhao Zhao!" In the carriage, Mrs. Xu, the Crown Prince of Dingnan, told her, and then got off the carriage.
Xu Mingyi was a little surprised. Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade, he saw that Mrs. Xu had already jumped on the horse, moving lightly and neatly.
"Let's go!" Mrs. Xu grabbed the reins and smiled at the girl.
I think she was also a person who liked to dress up as a beau when she was young. How could her skills be so bad now?
"Madam, please be careful if you haven't been riding for a long time..." Wu Jingming drove his horse close to his wife, wanting to persuade her to come down, but he didn't dare.
He didn't dare to dare, but he still received a glare.
After marrying this man, she was too "careful" in everything!
"Then, Your Majesty, why not compete with me today?"
Xu rode her horse and ran ahead.
Prince Wu quickly chased after him.
Wu Chao and his imperial advisor also got off the carriage, leaving only Xu Jin in the carriage to take care of the injured Duke Zhen.
The group of people did not delay, mounted their horses and continued on their way.
…
"Pass on His Majesty's decree and seal all the city gates!"
Han Yan reined in his horse inside the city gate and said loudly.
When all the guards heard this, their hearts were slightly shaken and they quickly responded.
At the same time, one of the guards was brought to Han Yan to reply.
"There may be suspicious people out of the city today!"
The guard shook his head without thinking: "Sir, everyone leaving the city today has been carefully inspected and there is nothing suspicious!"
Han Yan asked again: "The Wu family in the Dingnan palace and the Xu family in the Zhenguo palace—are there any people or people involved with them who left the city today?"
The entire Zhen Guo Duke's mansion was empty. Almost everyone in the capital knew his face, so it was not easy for him to get away with it. If he openly used his original identity as an excuse to pursue an assassin and left the capital, no one would dare to stop him.
!
However, the guard thought about it carefully and shook his head again.
Han Yan frowned.
Could it be that it's not the South City Gate? He guessed wrong!
Or is he still hiding in the city at this time?!
It was at this time that a subordinate's voice came from behind: "Sir, there is blood here!"
