It is far more difficult to pass the customs with one person and one car than it is to be alone.

This is also why Xin Zi gave Li Yuan the task of transporting jade dust - after all, it was she who the imperial court wanted to arrest, not a young man.

As they approached the city gate, the guards on the left stepped forward for a routine inspection.

But as soon as he was two steps closer to the swill truck, a foul smell came to his nose, and he glanced inside from a distance, then covered his mouth and nose with a disgusted face and waved his hand to signal Li Yuan to go out quickly.

Li Yuan bent his body at a right angle, did enough to play the cowering little restaurant handyman, saluted and thanked the guard repeatedly, and then lifted the trolley again and went forward.

But as soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by the guard on the right.

This is the same person who stopped Xin Zi just now. It seems that General Yi saw his napping appearance, he was depressed at the moment, and then looked at the people who cleared the customs and became a little more suspicious, and such a big bucket of swill, falling into his eyes at this moment, was naturally even more suspicious.

He put himself in the posture of the investigators, and forced himself to endure the disgusting stench and stepped forward to carefully investigate the swill truck.

Seeing this, Li Yuan's heart tightened, but his face was not obvious, he still looked humble and timid and scared, pressed his waist extremely low, and looked at the guard with a smile on his face.

The guards only glanced at Li Yuan, and then focused all their attention on the wooden barrel where mosquitoes and flies lingered.

This guard has been guarding the city outside the gates for more than ten years. Although I was a little slack off because I repeated the same boring work every day, I was more experienced. At this moment, he only glanced at it, and he noticed something strange in the square barrel.

Not to mention that this volume is much larger than the ordinary swill wheel, but the most obvious suspicion is that the wooden planks used to enclose the swill only have traces of water seepage on the upper part, but the bottom is unusually dry.

The guard raised the scabbard at his waist and struck twice on the bottom half of a plank, and the thump from below was crisp and clear - it was empty underneath!

The guards instantly understood the strangeness of it, and their eyes stared at Li Yuan like eagles.

Li Yuan still had a flattering smile on his face, but his smile was a little stiff.

The guard's face became even more gloomy, and he beckoned to the left and right, and said in a loud voice: "Dismantle this swill cart for me!" ”

Li Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly waved his hands in the air and stepped forward anxiously: "My lord can't help it!" It's a scorching hot day, and the heat is unbearable. The small cart of swill was transported from the Fengmanlou last night, and it was really filthy, and now I am afraid that it is already full of maggots. Before leaving, the steward of Feng Manlou repeatedly told the small ones to go to the barren mountains ten miles away outside the city to deal with them, so as not to breed evil diseases. If you insist on demolishing it here, the small ones and the restaurant will not be able to explain the small things, and the small ones will not be able to afford to stain the hands of your officials! ”

Li Yuan's words were sincere and sincere, so that the soldiers of the Three Lives who had to be ordered to come from the roots of the city walls on both sides couldn't help but pause, and looked back at the guards who gave the order with a sad face.

What kind of place is this Fengmanlou, the few men gathered there at this moment are in the prime of life, but everyone knows - it is the most famous flower building in this Qubu City.

If this swill cart is transported out of an ordinary restaurant, it will be just some leftover meals for diners, which will stink and become rancid after a long time, and then mixed with some vomit, dirty and dirty, but who let a few of them receive this errand to guard the city gate, gritted their teeth and pinched their noses to accept their fate.

But the so-called swill that came out of this flower building is just two things. Not to mention that it is only afraid that it is mixed with the feces and urine of those drunken men and women and even the filthy things of the men afterwards, if you are unlucky to catch up with the excrement of those infected with hidden diseases, I am afraid that it is difficult to say whether I can complete this errand, and it is very possible for the innocent to take half his life.

The guard saw the pleading gazes of his subordinates, and he couldn't understand what they were worried about. Did he let the suspicious person go, or did he forcibly dismantle the barrel regardless of the safety of his subordinates?

He weighed it again and again, and finally let out a long sigh, waved his hand and said, "That's it, you can go over." ”

When Li Yuan heard this, the cat raised his waist and saluted repeatedly, saying "Thank you to a few officials and grandfathers", but he didn't dare to delay for a moment and went out of the city in a panic.

But even the people and the car had just entered the shadows under the city gate, but unfortunately they were tripped by an inconspicuous piece of wood lying horizontally under the door.

Li Yuan was a little anxious because of the false alarm of the scene just now, and when he was tripped by such a trip, the swill car actually vacated a distance of three inches, and when he smashed back to the ground, he heard a clear groan from the barrel.

The guard, who had been staring at Li Yuan unwillingly and pushing the swill cart away, listened to the moaning in his ears, his brain spun quickly, and he immediately understood what was going on, and pulled out the saber on his waist and coldly piled up Li Yuan's back and shouted: "Stop!" What the hell is hidden in the swill cart, hand it over! ”

Li Yuan knew that the matter was exposed, and there was no room for return, so he was willing to sit back and wait for death. He simply put his feet on his feet, pushed the wheelbarrow without looking back, and fled outside the city gate.

Seeing this, the guard chased after him, and shouted at the guard guarding the direction outside the country: "Block the person and the car for me!" ”

The two guards on the other side of the gate quickly turned around and saw a young man pushing a foul-smelling wheelbarrow in his direction.

The two of them didn't have time to react, and subconsciously stabbed the spear in their hands towards the swill cart.

The planks on both sides of the square barrel that rushed forward were directly picked up by two spears, and the barrel instantly cracked, and a white tiger about a foot long inside roared and jumped out.

Li Yuan lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body flipped in the air, and landed on the back of the white tiger, he hooked the white tiger's neck with both hands, and let the white tiger take him like a lightning bolt across the city gate, to the outside of Dongyuan.

The guards guarding the city were dumbfounded, and they were stunned in the distance for a long time, but they forgot to chase after them, and when they came back to their senses, they wanted to spread their legs and catch up, but no matter how their legs defied the sky, they could not match the strong limbs of the white tiger.

At this moment, Yi Lei, who was standing on the city wall and witnessing all this, had a cold gaze.

The lieutenant general beside him was far from his composure, seeing that a man and a tiger suddenly appeared under the city to break through such a spectacle, but his boss was as immobile as Mount Tai, he was anxious, and shouted "General" lightly but did not get a response, so he had to step forward and shouted: "Crossbowmen prepare!"
