Chapter 438: Clearing
As soon as he finished speaking, his ears suddenly moved, and he looked back over the carriage, and saw a knight on the official road behind him holding a banner and shouting:
"Urgent military situation, everyone get out of the way"
Behind him, a small caravan of three ox-carts heard and immediately took refuge to the side of the road, and the knight swept by.
Ye Chen's heart moved, and he also pulled the carriage to the side of the road, but when he was waiting for the knight to approach, he suddenly punched out, and the powerful qi blasted out a blow that sent the knight and the horse flying, and fell to the ground with a snap and slid out of seven or eight meters.
As soon as Ye Chen pulled the reins, when the carriage galloped to the knight's side, he made up another punch, blowing the knight's head to pieces, and with a wave of his big hand, the corpse was rolled into the grass on the side of the road.
When an old man on the three ox carts behind saw this scene, his pipe fell off his mouth without knowing it, and shouted strangely:
"Parking"
The ox cart stopped, and the old man immediately said:
"Turn around, go back to the city, don't go first."
Ye Chen didn't care about being seen doing it himself, now that he was going to pass the level, it didn't matter if anyone saw it.
This knight came to the border at this time, and nine times out of ten he passed the order that they were wanted, and he must be killed. Breaking an unprepared level and a prepared level are completely different things.
Yes, now if they pass the level, they can only force their way through because they don't have a proof of clearance.
Even if the order from the national capital was not transmitted to the border pass, they would not be able to pass the customs smoothly, they would not be able to pass the customs without identity certificates, and Mu Yun'er would not be able to pass the customs if he proved his identity.
She is one of the three dukes of Ningguo, just like a high-ranking official in reality, if she wants to leave her country secretly, she will not be able to pass the security check at the airport, and she will be controlled first in the name of suspected treason.
This is the norm, even if they don't flee and want to leave, unless the king gives permission to leave under the name of an envoy.
Of course, this refers to taking the regular way, if you don't take the official road from the wilderness trail across the border, it's fine, but the border boundary between Ning and Zhao is a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, the mountains are high and the forests are deep, the road is not easy to walk, not to mention, there are countless beasts and fierce beasts in it, it is said that someone once saw the legendary monster beast comparable to the supernatural in it.
If it was just himself, Ye Chen would definitely take the path to pass through, but with five women, it would not be easy to cross the mountains that divide the two countries.
However, the idea was good, but when the carriage turned a corner along the official road and saw the huge checkpoint at the end of the avenue between the two mountain peaks, Ye Chen had to change his plan to forcibly break through.
The level is directly blocked between the two peaks, blocking all the roads, and if you want to pass, you can only pass under the gate between the two peaks.
If it's just an ordinary checkpoint, it's okay, but this is a closed city, with a formal moat and a thick gate, it's not easy for him to rush through it alone, let alone bring a group of people.
The carriage stopped on the side of the road for a while, and Ye Chen turned back to Yun'er and said:
"We may have to take the path."
She nodded, and then he pointed to the mountains that stretched in front of him for an unknown distance, and said to the four maids:
"We're going to cross this mountain, are you going to keep following?"
The fourth girl nodded without hesitation:
"We do."
"Very well, then we will abandon the carriage and go into the wilderness, and you will protect it later"
"Ye Lang, wait a minute."
Yun'er suddenly interrupted him, pointed to the back, and said:
"There's a big caravan, and we can spend some money to get through with them."
Ye Chen turned around and saw a caravan composed of more than a dozen ox carts and carriages coming from behind the official road, his eyes flashed, and he said:
"I'll go talk to them"
After saying that, he jumped out of the carriage and stood next to the carriage.
His tall and strong body was naturally filled with a sense of deterrence just by standing there, and the caravan couldn't help but slow down when they saw him, and the caravan guards guarding the convoy became nervous, and several even drew their swords out of their sheaths.
Ye Chen didn't make any drastic moves, just arched his hand from a distance and said loudly:
"I don't know which steward has something to discuss below."
The caravan immediately stopped, and a middle-aged man in a red brocade suit jumped down from a carriage, escorted by two strong men, and bowed his hand to Ye Chen from a distance with a warm smile:
"This hero, in the next addition is Bai Tong, the big shopkeeper of Bai's Pharmacy in Zhao Guotong Yicheng, transporting a batch of medicinal materials back to China, I don't know what this strong man has to discuss."
Ye Chen's gaze swept over the caravan, and he did smell a medicinal fragrance, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice:
"There is a matter to discuss with the white shopkeeper, I don't know if it's inconvenient to say it in private"
Bai Tong looked at his strong bear-like body, and felt a little stunned and hesitant.
Ye Chen could see it, and whispered again:
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions."
Bai Tong laughed, stretched out his hand and said:
"Your Excellency, Please"
When the two came to the side of the road, Ye Chen said directly:
"In Xia Zongchen, he offended a noble man in Ningguo with his family, and he was forced to flee from Ningguo to Zhao Guo, but he couldn't pass the customs without identification, and he wanted to ask the white shopkeeper to help, as a reward, in addition to one hundred taels of silver, if there are thieves who dare to come to the caravan along the way, I am willing to help."
He brought a lot of silver and silver, not much gold and silver in kind, but the silver ticket brought tens of thousands of taels, which were common to all countries in the continent, but he didn't dare to say too much, for fear that people would see money.
One hundred taels of silver is a lot, and the price of this world is very healthy, and the consumption of an ordinary family of four or five in a month is only one or two taels of silver.
Compared to the size of this caravan, one hundred taels of silver is nothing, but this is a windfall, extra income, and Ye Chen also promised to help escort the caravan along the way, which made Bai Tong more concerned, after all, his size was too deterrent, and just one person standing on the side of the road made the entire caravan as nervous as if it were facing a great enemy.
Bai Tong only hesitated for a few seconds before saying with a smile:
"There is always an inconvenient time when everyone goes out, it is convenient for others and themselves, I have helped Brother Zong, wait for Brother Zong's carriage to follow behind my carriage, and then go out with me."
Ye Chen arched his hand:
"Thank you, Brother Bai."
"You're welcome"
The two came back talking and laughing, Bai Tong talked with his subordinate steward and the caravan escort captain for a few words, and the caravan escort was no longer vigilant, but still a little vigilant.
This is human nature, Ye Chen didn't care, returned to the carriage and explained a few words to Yun'er and the four maids not to goof, and waited for the caravan to come, and drove the carriage into the back of the carriage where Bai Tong was sitting, located in the middle of the caravan.
Let Hongyu come out and drive the carriage, Ye Chen got out of the car and followed the car, and there was a female dependent who let them feel at ease when they saw it.
Although Hongyu is a maid, in addition to serving Wan'er in the Duke's Palace, she is usually treated with the specifications of a young lady, and she has an independent boudoir courtyard in the mansion.
