Chapter 37: Breaking the City Gate

It was still early, and the guards in charge of the city defense unexpectedly pulled a terrifying horse to block the city gate.

At the same time, a notice was posted on the city wall, which stated that Pingxi Kingdom was about to start a full-scale war with Jin Yuan Kingdom, and it was necessary to clean up the details of Jin Yuan Kingdom's infiltration into the capital.

At this moment, people who want to enter and leave the city will face very strict interrogation, and even their ancestral home and family situation will have to be explained clearly.

Because Chen Ze and his party were in a carriage, it took a lot of time to take every small step forward in the crowd.

By the time it was their turn to be censored, it was already sunset, and the guards had announced that they would close the gates early to prevent spies from infiltrating the city by nightfall.

This sparked an outcry from the people, and some even picked up their poles and prepared to fight with the doormen.

"It's not good, we're going to be trapped in the city." Chen Ze saw the chaotic scene and suddenly became restless.

If the people lose their minds and clash with these guards, the city gates will surely be completely sealed.

Nie Ying patted the brocade box and volunteered: "Childe, I have a good treasure in my hand to let them open the door." ”

With the seal in hand, the world is at my disposal.

"Be careful, don't arouse suspicion."

Chen Ze now only hopes that Yinxin can come in handy, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain.

"These guards have received death orders, and they will definitely not let them go." Gu Linghuan didn't know the inside story, thinking that a thief was going to pay a bribe.

Chen Ze shook his head: "Don't be impatient, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there may be a miracle." ”

At this moment, the people were still crowded together, fighting with the heavily armed guards of the city gates.

One of the generals pulled out his knife and said sharply: "The generals listen to the order, anyone who dares to take a step forward will be killed!" ”

"Yes!" When the guards heard the order, they immediately pointed their swords at the crowd, ready to go on a killing spree.

The people looked at each other, at a loss for a moment, if anyone really dared to rush forward, the end would definitely be a dead end.

Nie Ying held the brocade box, squeezed all the way through the crowd and said, "Big brother, I am the envoy under the Taishi, and now I order you to stop closing the door and let the carriage behind me pass." ”

He took two steps forward and asked suspiciously: "You claim to be the special envoy of the Taishi, what are your credentials?" ”

"There is a seal of the Grand Master here." Nie Ying opened the brocade box directly, revealing the contents inside.

On the seals of Ping Xiguo, there are very special marks, and the authenticity can be distinguished at a glance.

The general recognized that this was the real thing, and immediately said respectfully: "The envoy waits for a while, and the small one will order someone to open the door." ”

With the seal of the Taishi in hand, it can be seen that this person's identity is extraordinary, and he must not be neglected.

Nie Ying saw that the people were blocked here, and asked unbearably: "These people are strange and pitiful, can they also be allowed to go together?" ”

"Back to the envoy's words, the order to close the city gate early is the will of the saint, although the little one feels sorry for the people, he does not dare to disobey the holy order!"

If there is a holy decree hanging over his head, who would dare to disobey it easily?

Of course, most people know that this order was actually given by Liang Xing, and the holy decree is just an excuse.

Nie Ying returned to the car and said with a depressed face: "I originally wanted them to let the people out, but unfortunately it didn't work. ”

"You've done your best."

Chen Ze doesn't want to be a virgin, in this kind of time when everyone is in danger, it is already a great luck to be able to go out of the city.

"Get out of the way, let the carriage pass!"

The guards wielded their blades, forcing the crowd back and finally clearing a passageway.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Linghuan drove the carriage and drove out of the city gate along the green passage that had just been opened up by the guards.

"Oops! Who hit me! Tang Xian was about to take a nap when he was suddenly hit by a hard object.

Fortunately, the object only hit her arm, and there was no other problem with her body except for some redness and swelling of her skin.

This is a strangely shaped square jade pendant, which stands upright in front of everyone at this time, even if the carriage is tossed around, it is still in a state of immobility.

"Such a chic jade pendant, it shouldn't have been thrown in by someone on purpose, right?"

Chen Ze's first reaction was that someone wanted to use a carriage to take important things out of the city.

However, there was no inscription or any special marking, as if someone was playing a prank.

Nie Ying only had money in his eyes, so he made a suggestion: "This is a jade pendant in good condition, we can take it to the pawnshop and exchange it for some silver to spend." ”

"Good idea, exchange it for money, and buy some more good things." Tang Xian also very much agrees with the senior brother's point of view, anyway, it is a treasure that fell from the sky, don't be in vain.

These two thieves are worthy of the same division, and they even have exactly the same thoughts and ideas.

Chen Ze smiled and directly took the jade pendant into his arms: "Before figuring out the truth, I will keep it first." ”

This piece of jade pendant is definitely of extraordinary origin, and if it is easily sold to a pawnshop, it will be a big loss.

"Why?" Tang Xian said unhappily: "I smashed this jade pendant first, and it should be handed over to me for safekeeping." ”

"Miss Tang, I think what Childe said makes sense." Li Xiang, as Chen Ze's maid, of course helped her master speak.

At the same time, Gu Linghuan, who had been in charge of driving the car, also spoke: "My apprentice is right, someone dares to throw a jade pendant into the car, which means that there is a big problem with this jade pendant." ”

It is impossible to drop pies from the sky, and if you take this jade pendant and sell it at will, it will definitely lead to serious consequences.

Tang Xian touched a thief with his elbow, and said hurriedly: "You can help me say something!" ”

At present, more than half of the people who support Chen Ze have been supported, and she now urgently needs her senior brother to save the scene.

"My opinion...... It's to listen to Childe. ”

Nie Ying smiled helplessly, as a subordinate, how could he dare to refute his master easily.

She ...... What kind of ecstasy did she give you, and you all supported her! ”

Tang Xian was so angry that even her senior brother refused to obey, which was tantamount to extinguishing her last hope.

"Miss Tang, if this jade pendant is really ordinary, I will compensate you ten."

Chen Ze didn't want to take advantage, but wanted to uncover the mystery, even if it cost him.

If you have a cheap advantage, you don't take advantage of it, you are a fool.

Tang Xian faced the huge temptation, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared: "This is what you said, ten yuan!" One piece is indispensable! ”

Chen Ze nodded: "Your senior brother knows who I am, I will definitely not lie to you." ”

"Right...... Yes, Childe has always kept his promises. "Nie Ying is now caught in the middle and is a person, so he can only choose to help the prince.

"Strange thing, I remember that before you used to, it seems that you never listened to others." Tang Xian was very puzzled, when did the senior brother become so timid.
