Chapter 21: Let Her Go
The various passes and main roads in the capital of Qingqi Kingdom are full of officers and soldiers, and it is said that there are people with bad intentions who have infiltrated Qingqi Kingdom and need to be strictly investigated. And the emperor also personally inspected the main streets, and people felt that the new emperor was very concerned about the people, and even such small things were personally involved, and they felt more and more admiration for the new emperor. In the past, the emperor handed over such things to the underground officials to do, and no emperor would do such a thing himself.
While the emperor arranged for officers and soldiers to inspect various passes and key roads, Qin Jian also took the people of the Xuanjiao sect to look for them in all corners of the capital and on some small roads outside the city. Qin Jian made up his mind this time, even if he searched the entire Qingqi Kingdom, he would find Shi Ling'er. He knew that relying on those officers and soldiers to find them at those major passes might make Xiao Lang and them leave from the trail.
After leaving the inn last night, after a night of running, Xiao Lang and they walked to a small forest on the edge of the capital, Xiao Lang deliberately chose those paths that were not easy to walk along the way, just for fear that there would be any mistakes on the road, but when the day began to shine, he found that there seemed to be a large number of officers and soldiers in the capital, and there were also some patrolling people on every road, Xiao Lang knew that it seemed impossible for them to leave Qingqi Country smoothly, but there was still a glimmer of hope, He won't give up. He took Shi Ling'er to disguise himself as an ordinary farmer, in order to be more convincing, Xiao Lang specially dressed himself as an old man over half a hundred years old, and Mo Yan played his sons, and he deliberately replaced the carriage with an ox cart, although it was slower, but it would not arouse the suspicion of others.
When they were about to leave the city, some officers and soldiers appeared in front of them, "Stop! What are you going for? ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, we just went outside the city to open up a wasteland, you know that this year's harvest is not very good, and this grain is not enough to eat, so our family plans to go outside the city to see if we can make up for the famine, and there are many kinds of food." Xiao Lang, who was dressed as an old man, said in a hoarse voice.
"Search!" Those officers and soldiers did not pay attention to Xiao Lang's explanation, but directly lifted the curtain. They have been ordered to inspect anyone and any vehicle carefully, and if something goes wrong, they can't afford it! When they lifted the curtains, they saw only a peasant woman in shabby clothes and two young men who seemed to be her sons, who seemed to be so tired that she was asleep beside her two sons.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are really just ordinary farmers, please let us go over." Xiao Lang saw that those officers and soldiers seemed to have believed that they were just ordinary peasant families, so he continued.
"Let's go!" When these officers and soldiers saw that they were just ordinary peasant families, they didn't bother to pay attention to them, they still had important things to do.
"Thank you!" Xiao Lang said, and prepared to continue to drive away. When he just saw those officers and soldiers lift the curtain to check, his heart almost rose to his throat, and he was afraid that those officers and soldiers would notice it. Unexpectedly, these officers and soldiers just glanced at them casually and were about to let them go, Xiao Lang's heart finally let go temporarily.
"Wait! Who's in front? Just as Xiao Lang was about to leave in a hurry, a powerful shout came from behind, and then several black-clothed people in strong suits appeared. Leading the way was a man with a golden mask.
"The Muslim is just an ordinary peasant family." When the leader of the officers and soldiers saw the man wearing the mask, he hurriedly replied respectfully, almost everyone in the current Qingqi Kingdom knows that this new emperor is supported by the leader of the Xuanjiao sect who is famous in the Three Kingdoms, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, the leader of this Xuanjiao sect lives in the palace. Therefore, the dignity of the Xuanjiao Sect Leader in Qingqi Country was no less than that of the new emperor.
"Have you checked it?" The man known as the Sect Master asked coldly. He had long expected that with Xiao Lang's cleverness, he would never leave with his true face, and they hadn't found Xiao Lang yet, which also showed that Xiao Lang must have been disguised. Therefore, he didn't trust those officers and soldiers, and he kept patrolling the various paths leading to the outside of the city with the people of the Xuanjiao sect. Now that he saw such an ox cart on this remote path, he was very suspicious, so he came out of the shadows to see what was going on.
"Muslim master, the lower officials have already checked, and there is nothing suspicious." The official said respectfully.
Ignoring the official's words, Qin Jian walked directly to the ox cart and lifted the curtain. What appeared before him was an old woman asleep and two young men.
"Come on, take them down." Lowering the curtain, Qin Jian directly turned his head and ordered those black-clothed people. When he walked to the side of the ox cart, he felt a familiar aroma, like her, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw the elegance that could not be concealed although he was dressed in shabby peasant clothes, he was sure that the woman who was pretending to be a peasant woman in front of him was Xiaoling!
At the same time, the old man who had been driving the car had flown to the car, hugged the sleeping old woman and clicked on her body, the old woman woke up slowly, and saw that she was being hugged by an old man in rags, this old man had a familiar aura on his body, she remembered that she was forcibly taken away from the palace by Xiao Lang, so it was Xiao Lang who was holding her at this moment.
Xiao Lang hugged Shi Ling'er and flew back more than ten meters to the ground, and Shi Ling'er slowly saw the situation in front of him, the man with the mask standing opposite them was Brother Qin! That is, Brother Qin had already found out that she was missing, and came to find her.
"Lord Wang, let's go! Let's block it first! Seeing that they had been recognized, Mo Yan and Mo Ci hurriedly stood in front of Xiao Lang and shouted at Xiao Lang, the target of those people was the prince and the princess, so they had to let the prince and the princess leave first.
"Don't say anything, take care!" Xiao Lang knew that it seemed impossible for them to escape from all of these people, so he hugged Shi Ling'er and left quickly, leaving Mo Yan and Mo Ci to clean up the aftermath.
"Want to go? It's not that easy! Seeing Xiao Lang's intentions, Qin Jian flew up to chase after Xiao Lang.
"Xiao Lang, you bastard, hurry up and let me down!" Seeing Qin Jian chasing after her, Shi Ling'er was very relieved, Brother Qin would never leave her alone, right? She didn't want to leave Xiao Lang, let alone leave him in this way.
"Let him go! Otherwise, don't even think about getting out of here! Qin Jian said coldly to Xiao Lang.
"She is the princess of this king, and of course this king will not let her go. Who is your honor? Why should you take care of the king's family affairs? Without taking Qin Jian's threat into account at all, Xiao Lang said disdainfully to the masked man in front of him.
"Oh? Is it? I've never known whose princess this stone girl is, has I? Stone girl? Hearing Xiao Lang's words, Qin Jian said mockingly.
"Let go of me, the folk girl is just an ordinary woman, not your princess." Hearing Qin Jian's words, Shi Ling'er said cooperatively.
"Do you hear that? Miss Shi said that she is not your princess, can the prince let go of Miss Shi? ”
