Chapter 690: An unexpected incident in officialdom, big trouble is coming(1/2)
Just thinking about it, I immediately laughed at my own whims.
No matter what his purpose is, the one in the harem is his daughter after all. Nangong Lizhu hates me to the core and wants to cut me into pieces. Even if there are any differences between father and daughter, they will not be so polarized.
.
Moreover, people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If Nangong Jinhong is really helping me, my existence must be beneficial to him. But no matter what I think, there is nothing wrong with me and what I want to do.
It may bring him any benefit to the Minister of War, and my going south has no interest in him. He should not be helping me.
Just——
Was everything that happened before really a coincidence?
While I was thinking, I gently wiped the cold sweat on my face with the handkerchief Alan gave me. After a while, Alan took away ****'s handkerchief, touched my forehead again, and said: "
Not bad."
At this time, I had the opportunity to raise my head and say to her: "Thank you very much."
She looked at me, the corners of her eyes twitching slightly: "Thank me?"
"Just now, no - if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to leave the capital."
"Haha," she laughed and said, "Don't think of me as some kind person."
"..."
"You have to pay."
……
I forgot that Qinghan paid them to pick me up from the beginning. These are naturally included in the "mission". But no matter what, being able to leave here has been my biggest dream in these years. I don't have it.
There is no other way to say thank you to Qinghan, so I can only thank her.
Looking at my solemn look, Alan smiled and said, "You'd better take a rest and take good care of yourself earlier. It will be easier for me to earn this money."
Before I could say anything, she opened the curtain again and looked at the official road ahead, with a hint of sinisterness in her eyes: "I'm afraid the road ahead won't be easy."
Alan's words are indeed correct.
The road ahead is really difficult.
I heard from people in the Ministry of War before that the order for the investigation this time was the emperor's will. Naturally, the people below did not dare to slack off. There were heavily guarded checkpoints along the way. The search area was not only wide, but also the intensity of the search was extremely high.
Several times, I was almost searched by them.
Of course, these few times, Ye Fei was unwilling to take the overall situation into consideration and caused trouble.
It’s been more than a month since we’ve been on this journey, and I haven’t spoken to him formally yet. He usually doesn’t speak and only stays on the roof of the car. Even if we stop to eat and replenish water and food, he is almost never with us.
, but as soon as he arrived at the checkpoint, he would appear and not help, but it would be a bit of a disservice.
If it weren't for the fact that he is the son of the master of the Miaoshan Sect, I would have almost thought that he was a spy sent by the imperial palace.
Watching the surrounding scenery slowly change from a blanket of white snow to a bleak autumn landscape decorated with withered yellow leaves and dead grass everywhere, the weather is getting warmer a little bit. Going further south, you can see some green trees.
.
We are already going to the south.
There is no longer a howling north wind blowing ice and snow, and the air is still cool, but with a warm and moist feeling.
My illness has improved a lot, thanks to Alan's skill. Although she is not a doctor, but a person who knows how to use poison. I have also heard that if a person is good at using poison, he will also
You can save people, but you must have extremely high skills to do it. I didn't expect that I met an expert.
When I woke up, in addition to the sound of the carriage wheels clanking under me, I also heard the chirping of birds in the forest. I knew that we were getting closer and closer to Yangzhou, and I couldn't help but feel better. I climbed slowly.
When he sat up in the carriage, he saw Alan looking out and murmuring: "It's almost here."
When I heard this, I immediately said: "Are you going to Yangzhou?"
"Well, this is already the border." Alan nodded and looked back to see my eyes that couldn't wait to smile. She also smiled, but there was a bit of coldness in her smile: "Don't be too happy.
It’s early.”
"Ah?"
"If you want to enter Yangzhou, I'm afraid the interrogation will be stricter."
"Uh——"
Indeed, the inspections on the official road along the way have become more stringent every time. We have to enter Yangzhou. This was the place that Pei Yuanhao paid most attention to before. Now that he has sent people to inspect along the way, it is to block my way, so he must also know
, if I enter Yangzhou, it will not be easy to find it again.
Therefore, the previous interrogation will probably be stricter than ever before.
Seeing that I was a little nervous, Alan smiled lazily and said, "But you don't have to be afraid. No matter how strict they are, they won't come to dismantle our carriage."
"..."
That's true. As long as this carriage is here, I think we can still get by.
After walking for a while, Alan took out the dry food and water that he had prepared before from the mezzanine of the carriage. I took it and was about to eat it when I suddenly heard Ye Fei, who had never spoken much above his head, suddenly spoke, with a few words in his voice.
Ridicule——
"It's interesting."
Interesting? What is interesting?
I was wondering when I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves from behind the carriage, and it was a very rapid sound of horse hooves. In an instant, they ran up from behind and surrounded our carriage. I heard someone outside shouting: "Stop."
, we want to check!"
What's going on? This is obviously not a checkpoint!
I was startled, and suddenly opened my eyes and looked at Alan. She was also startled, hurriedly put down the food in her hand, stretched out her hand and made a gesture to me not to speak.
I heard the coachman outside stop the carriage and said cautiously: "Masters, what are you doing?"
"We want to inspect your carriage!"
"Ah? At the intersection ahead, the little one has passed the inspection."
"That's an inspection at the intersection. Our team is conducting a temporary inspection on the official road to see if your carriage is harboring any suspected felons."
"No, no, how dare you guys."
"If you don't dare, just ask the people in the car to get off immediately!"

I never expected that in addition to setting up checkpoints, they actually sent additional troops to stop people at any time on the road to search, which greatly exceeded our expectations. Just like now, Alan had no time to hide me on the plywood
It’s here.
People outside are still shouting: "Come down! Come down quickly!"
I looked at Alan subconsciously, and saw that her charming face was very calm. She smiled at me, then stepped forward and opened the curtain and jumped out.
"My lords, you are frightening the slave family."
Her voice was as gentle as a snake, but the people outside didn't buy it. One of them used a long knife to open the curtain and took a look, and immediately said: "There is a woman inside, come out!"
"Come out quickly."
By this time, it was inevitable, so I gritted my teeth and slowly moved out.
There was a group of people parked outside. There were about ten people, each riding a tall horse and holding a terrifying weapon. One of them was holding a piece of drawing paper and was looking at it. The moment I leaned out of the carriage, that person
He immediately recognized me, pointed at me and shouted: "That's her, that's——"
Before he could finish his words, Alan's original charming smile faded for an instant, she turned around and waved her hand towards him, a red light flashed from her sleeve, and with a bang, she knocked the man off his horse head-on.
!
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a piece of red silk in her sleeve, floating down at this moment.
The people around were completely frightened by her blow and immediately shouted: "Be careful! They are repeat offenders!"
"Get 'em!"
As soon as the words fell, a person standing behind Alan immediately brandished a long knife and slashed her neck. I was so frightened that I screamed: "Be careful!"
Unexpectedly, Ah Lan actually seemed to have eyes on her back. Just when the long knife was about to cut the back of her neck, she suddenly dodged sideways, and the blade cut her body dangerously, but she had already reached out her hand.
He grabbed the handle of the knife and yanked it hard. The man was caught off guard and was pulled off his horse. He screamed in agony. Alan had already raised his long legs high and stepped on the man's neck hard.
Hearing a clatter, the man rolled his eyes and stopped moving.
I have been completely stunned by Alan's skills.
Although he knew that she was a member of the martial arts world, she must have strong martial arts skills, but she didn't expect it to be so amazing and overwhelming. I saw that enchanting red shadow shuttled between the man and the horse like a flame.
For a while, only screams and horses neighed. After a while, those people fell at her feet.
Seeing the last person being pinched by her neck, struggling and thrashing, her throat was rattling but she couldn't scream, but there was an almost seductive smile on Alan's face, which was completely different from what she was doing.
The voice is so soft that it makes one’s bones tremble——
"This little brother, seeing you checking all the way, I'm tired."
