Chapter 255: Pursuit
Moluo Sect, on the Holy Maiden Peak, after Yin Meiru returned to the wedding scene, she was immediately stopped by her father and asked to toast everyone one by one. During this period, she wanted to go back to visit Zhan Chen several times, but was stopped by her father. She was busy until it was nearly dawn, when the guests had dispersed, and she had time to return to her wedding room.
As soon as she entered the door, Yin Meiru excitedly called: "Zhan Chen, are you feeling better?"
There was no answer in the tent, so she had to go up and look, only to find that there was no one on the bed, replaced by a purple jade pendant and letters on the pillow
She hurriedly picked them up, opened the envelope, and looked at it, inside was Zhan Chen's strong and powerful handwriting, describing Zhan Chen's parting homesickness and describing his desire to return to the east.
At the end, it was written: Mei'er, I'm leaving, going home, to deal with some important things. Don't worry about me, the green mountains do not change the green waters, I firmly believe that we will be able to meet in the future! My love for you is resolute and persistent, there is no doubt about this. You must keep my words firmly in mind, and no matter what happens in the future, please believe in my love for you!
Looking at it, tears have been clouded by Yin Meiru's beautiful eyes for some time, her jade fingers are trembling, even if she has a million strength, she can't grasp this thin piece of paper. Every word of this letter weighed more than a mountain for her, and she could not bear it.
Suddenly, she had a feeling that the sky was dark, crumbling, and falling into the abyss, her mind was blurred, her heart was weak and helpless, and she sat on the bed.
After a long time, she began to think eagerly: "What should I do? What should I do? Tell my father at once, and ask him to get my Ah Chen back—no, it must not be like this, if this matter is known to my father, Ah Chen will definitely die, I must hide it, and then send my cronies!"
So she hurriedly got up and began to activate an intelligence network around her, quickly spreading towards Moluo City and the surrounding area, looking for traces of Zhan Chen.
However, she herself had to take the first look to find Zhan Chen, because she had to stay behind to deal with his father and buy time for the search.
After noon, Yin Xuehai wanted to meet a couple of newcomers, and Yin Meiru had to come to see them.
Yin Xuehai saw that Zhan Chen was not there, and suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, and asked, "Mei'er, what's going on?
Yin Meiru forced out a smile and said, "Dad, Ah Chen is still a little uncomfortable, I asked him to rest more." ”
"Hmph! The wedding is over, so you don't know how to respect my father-in-law?
"Yes!" Yin Meiru replied, but she was very flustered in her heart, and paper couldn't contain the fire.
After she returned, she actively listened to the reports of her subordinates, but the news she received was only three words: "I haven't found it." ”
She began to lose her temper again, and even tried to kill someone, but to no avail. The next day, Yin Meiru still found an excuse to prevaricate her father. On the third day, she went out to find it herself.
Yin Meiru and Zhan Chen disappeared at the same time, which finally aroused Yin Xuehai's awareness, and after some investigation and interrogation, he finally knew the cause and effect of the incident, and he was furious, and immediately dispatched the whole sect to arrest Zhan Chen.
For a while, the wanted notice spread throughout the Mora Kingdom, and the streets and alleys of the major towns were also plastered with portraits of Zhan Chen, and the reward was amazing, as long as the news of his whereabouts was confirmed to be true, he would be rewarded with one million top-grade Yuan Stones, and he could put forward a wish to Yin Xuehai that he could fulfill.
As soon as the news came out, the entire Mora Country was boiling, and in the streets and alleys, almost everyone was nervously looking around to see if anyone like Zhan Chen passed by.
And Zhan Chen, who was at the center of the storm whirlpool, had a deeper understanding of this, he sat in the carriage all day long, living a simple life, and even if he wanted to come out, he had to put on makeup, so that people could not see his appearance at least on the surface.
Fortunately, the group of people accompanying him are the most loyal fighters in the Zhengdao Gate, so the news has not been leaked, and it can be regarded as safe and stable along the way.
And today, Zhan Chen, they are going to pass through a large city again. When they arrived at the city gate, the convoy was stopped, and several city gate guards came forward to interrogate them.
And Qian Qiang, the so-called steward of the caravan, also got out of the first car with a smile as usual and stepped forward to deal with those people. As soon as he looked at him, he said to the person who led the team: "Yo, isn't this the leader of the king?"
The so-called team leader Wang also smiled, forcibly saluted Qian, and said, "It turns out that Qian is in charge, and you have to do business again?"
"Exactly, we happened to buy a batch of goods, and we want to take them to the east to sell. ”
"Who's in this car?"
"Leader Hui Wang, they are all nurses of our firm, in order to protect my safety all the way. ”
"Money steward, I'm sorry, we need to check. ”
"Team Leader Wang, with our relationship, don't be so serious. Qian Qiang said with a smile as he stuffed a small Qiankun bag into the hands of Team Leader Wang.
Team Leader Wang took the Qiankun bag and smiled, stuffed it into his waist, and then said: "In normal times, we will also let it go." No, this is an extraordinary time, and it has to be done specially. ”
"Could it be that Zhan Chen's thing?"
"Isn't it? There is a death order from above, and no suspicious person shall be spared. ”
"Hehe, then you can check. ”
"Okay!" Leader Wang personally came to open the carriage of each carriage to see, and when he turned to the carriage that Zhan Chen was riding, he hesitated for a moment, because he saw that the people inside were three points similar to Zhan Chen's portrait.
At this time, Zhan Chen's heart was beating loudly, but on the surface, he pretended to be casual, because he had already crossed his makeup, and outsiders would never recognize his true identity at a glance.
Just when Team Leader Wang wanted to take a closer look, Qian Qiang shouted in front: "How about Team Leader Wang, no problem, right? These are all our own brothers, reliable!"
The leader of the team put down the curtain and replied, "Yes, the money manager, you can pass." ”
"Alright, let's go!" said the money steward, overjoyed, jumped into the carriage, and beckoned back, and the men immediately drove the carriage into the city.
Zhan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and passed another level, in the past few days, they have passed through this situation more than once, the Moluo Sect has set up customs and cards all the way down, under the pretext of inspection, and has stripped a lot of money from pedestrians and merchants along the way, if you don't pay, it will be troublesome, they will find an excuse to detain you, and the investigation is endless.
Fortunately, the money manager Yuanshi is well prepared, and with the gold-lettered signboard of Qingfeng Commercial Bank, he can go all the way unimpeded and turn evil into good fortune.
It's also strange to say that the rest of the way was spent in danger, and they traveled all the way to the eastern border of the Demon Luo Sect.
Linshui City - This is the second time that Zhan Chen has reached here, and he has successfully entered Linshui City, which means that Zhan Chen's escape from the pursuit of the Demon Luo Sect has reached the most critical moment, because as long as he follows the Linshui River all the way to the east, he can reach the Rakshasa Country, and once the Rakshasa Country arrives, it means that he is close to the Houyan Kingdom.
Zhan Chen's heart couldn't help but start to get excited, and he couldn't wait to get on the boat and go all the way to the east.
However, things often don't go as planned. Let's say that after they arrived in Linshui City, they rushed directly to the docks, where they could concentrate on the strict interrogation of the Demon Luo Sect. However, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that Zhan Chen is still seeing a person - Yin Meiru.
"Hell, why did she come here too?" Zhan Chen secretly shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, at this time he didn't have the slightest happiness to reunite with the beautiful woman, if he let Yin Meiru see himself, then it would mean the failure of the escape. So, he hurriedly turned around, disappeared into the crowd, and fled the docks.
As if sensing Zhan Chen's existence, Yin Meiru couldn't help but turn her head and look at the crowd, but she didn't see anything, and a trace of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Ever since he left the Demon Luo Sect to find Zhan Chen, he has been wandering around the Demon Luo Country aimlessly. Still didn't get any news along the way, so she instinctively came again and brought it to the vicinity of Waterfront City.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that instead of casting a wide net to search, it was better to hold the point of Waterfront City, after all, this was the fastest passage to the east, and Zhan Chen would probably appear here. And in the crowd just now, a sudden hint of familiarity seemed to prove Yin Meiru's guess......
Let's say that when Zhan Chen and his party returned to the city, they found a hotel to stay in and began to discuss countermeasures.
Qian Qiang said first: "According to the information I know, the Demon Luo Sect has sent additional personnel to all the major passes on the border, and there is no shortage of strong people of the Martial Emperor to defend the key places. Brother Zhan Chen, it seems that this time Yin Xuehai has spent a lot of effort and vowed to find you. ”
Zhan Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "This is not the most unlucky, the most unlucky thing is that Yin Meiru actually came to this waterfront city, and obviously came to find me, she is on this dock." ”
Xie Chunlai pondered for a long time and said, "Look, can we leave this waterfront city and find another way out." ”
Qian Qiang said: "Elder Xie, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, because I inquired just now, this Linshui City is the focus of the Demon Luo Sect's prevention, and the gates of the four sides are guarded by Martial Emperor-level powerhouses, and all the people who enter the city can only enter and not leave." Besides, the Linshui River is the fastest waterway to the Rakshasa Kingdom, and if you go by waterway, you won't be questioned again along the way, it's just once and for all!"
Zhan Chen thought for a moment and said, "Li is indeed this reason, but I must not be discovered by Yin Meiru, I am afraid that as soon as she sees me, she will recognize it." ”
Qian Qiang could see it openly, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you come, you will be safe, what we have is time, and there is always a turning point when we wait slowly!"
"That's all there is to it!" sighed everyone.
At this moment, there was a sudden violent knock on the door, and everyone stood up, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what happened at the outer door.
Then I heard this roar from outside: "The people inside open the door!"
Qian Qiang asked, "Who are you and what are you going to do?"
The person outside replied: "We are the guards of Linshui City, and we are here to check the room!"
As soon as Zhan Chen heard them say this, he hurriedly put on his disguise again.
Qian Qiang shouted: "It's coming, it's coming." He stepped forward and opened the door for the people outside.
The people broke into the house, there were a group of five of them, and the leader was still holding a portrait of Zhan Chen, and as soon as he entered the door, he began to check the people in the room one by one, and they also rummaged through the cabinets.
And Qian Qiang nodded on the side and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are from Qingfeng Commercial Bank, and we came to Shuicheng just to do business." ”
The leading captain was not high in cultivation, and his tone was not small, he glanced at Qian Qiang and said, "Who asked you what you are doing here, what we are looking for is the traitorous disciple of the Demon Luo Sect - Zhan Chen." ”
"Why is it suddenly so strict?"
"Don't mention it, it's not because when our Holy Maiden was sitting on the dock, she seemed to see Zhan Chen's figure and ordered us to investigate every room in the city one by one. ”
"Then you've all worked hard. Master Jun, I think that's it, you see, we don't have the Zhan Chen you are looking for here. Qian Qiang repeated his old tricks, took out a few high-grade yuan stones and stuffed them into the hands of the team leader.
The team leader unceremoniously took Yuanshi, turned his head and shouted to the people in the room, "Let's go, there are no suspicious people in this room!" and the five turned to leave.
Qian Qiang stepped forward to close the door again, but the atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn, obviously Yin Meiru's suspicion would bring great inconvenience to their next move.
