Because of the lockdown order, the people of the entire Jiangbei County were talking and complaining.

But everyone knew the attitude of the county guard Du Ji'an, and ordered the arrest of people without saying a word, and they were directly imprisoned, on the grounds that a box of precious jewels was stolen from the county guard yesterday, and someone dared to flout the decree and disturb the great joy of the five princes and his daughter, so although Du Ji'an's methods were not close to people, most people still understood.

After all, the notice said that the lockdown order would be seven days at most, and when the wedding of the five princes was over, everything would return to normal. Although everyone felt very inconvenient, especially some businessmen, who were secretly distressed by the loss of silver, they had no choice but to endure it temporarily.

It was already dark, and after the harsh measures of the day, by this time, the city gate was no longer guarded by the people who wanted to leave the city, and they had all dispersed.

Two lanterns were hung at the city gate, and a row of torches lined up to illuminate the city gate. The soldiers of dozens of county guards were on duty at the gate of the city, and they did not relax because of the coming of night, but waited solemnly with awe-inspiring eyes.

Luo Qingluan, Xu Wei, and Xu Lian hid in a small alley a hundred zhang away, looking out cautiously. Even from a distance, they could see the movement at the gates of the city clearly.

Tonight, they had to leave Jiangbei County, but this would still be waiting, because Chen Dong went to the Dark Night Hall to deal with affairs, and he hadn't come back yet.

At this time, there was a slight movement at the gate of the city ahead, and a group of government soldiers stepped through the street, led by two tall men on horseback, apparently the captains of this group of government soldiers. The sound of swords and light armor rubbed against each other, and no one made a sound, only the sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance, which seemed a little solemn in the night.

Obviously, when the time came to change the guard, the captains of the two teams of government soldiers began to hand over and whispered a few words, because they were far apart, Luo Qingluan and they didn't hear clearly. Immediately, the government soldiers who were on duty around the city gate and the newly arrived government soldiers quickly exchanged and took over their original positions.

Watching the dozens of evacuated soldiers leave the street in front of them, Xu Lian couldn't help but look at the deep and dark alley behind her, and muttered: "Why don't they come yet, Mr. Chen, is something wrong?" ”

As he was talking, familiar footsteps came from the other end of the alley, and Chen Dong and Liu Donghai appeared.

Luo Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Chen, are you all right?" ”

Chen Dong nodded, with a little joy on his face: "Miss, there is good news." The brother we had arranged to track the shipment had successfully taken over the position of those men in the county guard's office, and there was no suspicion. If all goes well, when the Five Princes and Du Ji'an make a move, they will play a key role. ”

"Really?" Luo Qingluan's eyes lit up when he heard this, this was indeed good news.

The people sent before followed the cargo ships transporting armaments from the waterway, and although they had been successfully intercepted, she did not know the follow-up situation. Now hearing Chen Dong say this, it seems that the plan is going well.

Chen Dong smiled and nodded: "Miss, don't worry, the brothers in the Dark Night Hall are all trained by the prince himself, and if you don't make a move, you will be hit with one blow." ”

Finally, there is no need to worry about that batch of goods anymore, as long as they have some people mixed in, they will naturally be able to play a role at a critical time, and the most important thing for Luo Qingluan now is to leave Jiangbei County as soon as possible and see Nalan Ye as soon as possible.

However, the defense of the city gate in front of him is too tight, and there are dozens of soldiers guarding the county government at the city gate alone, and there are many ambushes in the dark. If they act rashly, they are afraid that they will be caught.

For the time being, it is not the time to act, Luo Qingluan and his party are waiting at the entrance of the alley, waiting for the moment when the other party shows laxity or flaws.

Time passed little by little, but fortunately it is summer, and the weather at night is a little cool, if it is not the right occasion at this time, it is the right time to enjoy the moon. After waiting like this, midnight passed quickly, and there was still nothing unusual at the city gate. If you continue to wait like this, I am afraid that you will not find a chance until dawn.

Xu Lian has always been anxious, and she couldn't bear it anymore: "Miss, why don't we change places, maybe we will bypass the city gate, and the defense in other places will be more lax?" You can't just wait like this, can you? ”

Looking at the situation in front of him, Luo Qingluan can only do this, and it is not a way to stay here all the time, it is better to go to another place to observe. But they had not moved, and a sudden change had occurred at the gates.

"What man!?" A cold drink suddenly sounded.

On the other side of the street, I saw a horse-drawn carriage slowly coming, followed by a few people, trotting all the way. As soon as they heard the voice of the government soldiers, those people were obviously startled, and one of them hurriedly took a few steps forward, and was immediately surrounded by more than a dozen government regiments who immediately rushed up, and was directly held by the sword to his neck.

"What do you want to do in the middle of the night?" One of the government soldiers at the head shouted.

This scene happened in front of Luo Qingluan's eyes, but they were in the alley, and there was no fire around, although they were only four or five feet apart, they were not discovered.

"Military master, military master, spare your life." Those people were almost paralyzed with fright, and kept begging for mercy: "That's the case, we belong to the Jin family in the east of the city, and I have also had a relationship with your county guard." We now have a batch of goods that have reached the delivery time, if they are not sent to Changshu County, it will be a heavy loss! Ask a few military masters to be okay and let us go......"

The soldiers of Nafu glanced at these people up and down, and said suspiciously: "Since you know our lord, do you have an adult's instructions to go out of the city?" ”

Those people were stunned: "This is not ...... We are just a small business, why are we embarrassed to trouble adults? As he spoke, one of them immediately took out a bag from his arms, stuffed it into the hand of one of the government soldiers, and said carefully: "It's a little meaning, it's not a respect, please let me go." ”

Who knows, as soon as the words were finished, the faces of several government soldiers changed, and they said sharply: "You dare to bribe, it can be seen that you have ghosts in your hearts." Without the hand of the adult, no one is allowed to enter or leave within seven days, this ban has already been issued, and you even broke through in the middle of the night, I am afraid that you are a spy. Come! They were taken back to prison and interrogated severely. ”

Those people immediately panicked: "Master Jun, we are not spies, spare us...... We don't get out of town. ”

"At this time, you still want to quibble?" As soon as the words fell, a government soldier directly killed the person who was begging for help, and suddenly the head fell to the ground, blood splashed, and the faces of the rest of the people who looked at it turned white. Immediately, the rest of the soldiers rushed up, tied up the rest of the people, and took the carriage and drove it away.

It wasn't all over yet, and another group of people came on the street.

There were still a few carriages coming in a hurry, but the people driving were dressed in black, and the soldiers on duty saw it, and instead of arresting the people in these carriages as they did just now, the two captains hurriedly waved their hands and shouted: "Open the city gate, hurry, hurry!" ”

After speaking, several carriages had already driven over, and the black-clothed man in the first carriage hummed coldly, saw a few government soldiers who were sweeping the ground, and couldn't help but say, "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord, that's right." The captain of the government soldiers immediately said cautiously: "Just now there were a few suspicious people who wanted to go out of the city, seeing their suspicious appearance, we have arrested them all, and killed one who tried to resist." ”

"Well, well done. Your Excellency has an order, you must not let anyone go out these days, you all cheer up and keep it. If you let a spy go, watch out for your heads. The man in black's voice was serious and cold, with a hint of arrogance.

The two captains of the government soldiers did not dare to come out, and nodded their heads again and again. It wasn't until these carriages left the city that they quickly closed the city gate again, barely breathing a sigh of relief.

"It's finally okay, it's dangerous." A captain of the government soldiers muttered in a low voice: "Damn, I don't know what to drag, it's not all minions, what's there to be proud of." ”

The other captain of the government soldiers was also angry, and spat and said: "That's it, it's just Miss Yundian's dowry, if it weren't for the adult's explanation, what are they?" When you get to the front of the five princes, isn't it like a dog? ”

The two complained to each other, not paying attention to the movement around them at all, and there were other people on duty, so they didn't care at all. In the dark, Luo Qingluan and the others had quietly left.

Because of the few carriages that appeared after this, Luo Qingluan suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

Instead of risking the pass, it is better to use the cover of the few men in black just now, so that you can get out of the city without noticing.

Whether it is Xu Wei Xu Lian, or Chen Dong or Liu Donghai, they all have martial arts, and if they venture out of the city and are discovered, they will at least have the strength to escape. Luo Qingluan knew that they were so difficult to be careful, and the root cause was actually her.

She has no other ability to play a role at this time except for her medical skills, what they want now is to go out of the city secretly and not be discovered, can she still use the magic powder to stun all the government soldiers and leave? If this is the case, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be hunted down, causing even greater chaos.

Therefore, Luo Qingluan thought of an idea, let Xu Wei and Xu Lian, who have the best martial arts, go out directly over the city wall, and get back a carriage, and those soldiers guarding the city will definitely not suspect it. When the time comes, they can hide in the carriage and go out of the city in a grand manner.

……

On the city wall, Xu Lian and Xu Wei changed into black clothes, carefully avoided the soldiers guarding the city, jumped up, and then quickly jumped off the city wall. The soldiers guarding the city didn't notice it at all, they only seemed to hear a gust of wind, but they turned their heads and saw nothing. Shaking his head, he thought he was thinking too much, but he didn't expect that two of them had quietly left the city.

In a hurry, Xu Lian and Xu Wei kept up with the few carriages that had just left the city, and took advantage of their unpreparedness to knock out the last one with one move. Xu Wei immediately turned over into the car, took the person's place, and then pretended to be abrupt: "Oops, it's not good......"

The man in black in a carriage in front of him immediately turned around and said alertly, "What's wrong?" ”
