Chapter 404

Things have come to this point, Lin Xuanzhong no longer cares about what tone the other party speaks, he is just thinking about when to let go of Lu Jie.

"Brother Lin, you look at him, I'll get on the horse first," After Lu Jie sat on the horse, Bai Ye reminded Lin Xuanzhong, then looked at Lu Jie and said, "If you dare to play any tricks, you will be the first to die!"

"Okay," understanding what Bai Ye meant, Lin Xuanzhong immediately agreed.

"Let's go," After Bai Ye got on the horse, after holding Lu Jie hostage, Lin Xuanzhong walked to Princess Lan Xin and turned over on his horse. Now the eight of them rode four horses and pulled three horses, and went back the way they came.

Although the crisis seemed to be basically resolved, Lin Xuanzhong did not feel relaxed, because he was not sure if the other party would chase after him, so he had to go out of the city first.

In the past few years, several more convoys of the city have arrived here. After understanding the current situation, they stared at Lin Xuanzhong and them one by one.

"Old Li, what should I do?" After Lin Xuanzhong and the others left the restaurant for a distance, the shopkeeper of the restaurant looked at the old man in Mai with a calm expression.

"Everything is done, right?" the old man in Mai asked without answering.

"It's been taken care of, and a few of their horses will stop somewhere outside the city. The shopkeeper nodded, looking mysterious.

"In this way, I can only hope that they will let go of Childe not far outside the city. The old man in Mai nodded, and then looked at Lin Xuanzhong and the others from a distance.

"But Li Lao, what should I do if something goes wrong?" the shopkeeper of the restaurant was still a little worried.

"There is no other way to do this, and the life or death of Childe depends on Childe's own luck. ”

"Elder Li, what should we do now?" At this time, Wang Huwei also came over with a few colleagues.

"Follow them, but don't follow them too closely. Li Lao thought about it, and then explained to everyone.

"Yes," Escort Wang and the other guards agreed, and then they led people to catch up, keeping the same speed and distance from Lin Xuanzhong and the others.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the road in the city, and Lin Xuanzhong's speed is not fast. Because of what happened just now, the few people who had been hungry for a long time were now not only disturbed from eating, but also unable to eat. Judging from the current situation, Lin Xuanzhong can only eat if he returns to the barracks.

Cloud City is still more than an hour away from the fortress, and to put it simply, they will be hungry for a long time. Thinking of having nothing to eat, Fang Qing, who was riding a horse in front of him, would give Lu Jie a fierce look from time to time, scaring Lu Jie every time.

Although they could have changed to an ordinary restaurant to eat, now Fang Qing still blamed Lu Jie for all the problems and did not consider their own problems. Now that he was panicking to go out of the city, and facing the strange eyes of so many people in the city, Fang Qing was getting more and more angry.

It is worth mentioning that many people on the street know Lu Jie, so after recognizing Lu Jie, they will look at Lin Xuanzhong and the others more carefully, and look at the seven of them one by one, wanting to see why Lin Xuanzhong and they dare to hold the son of the City Lord's Mansion hostage. For this reason, many strange passers-by gathered together and discussed the current situation fiercely one by one.

It wasn't until the passers-by who came from the Cloud Tower told them about the matter that they became more interested in the matter.

"Look, those people seem to be from our army?" a man dressed in ordinary clothes pointed at Lin Xuanzhong and said to his companion next to him, "I seem to have seen them in the barracks?"

"Who are you talking about?" asked one of the people next to him.

"That person, and that!" The person who spoke initially pointed at Fang Qing, and then at Lin Xuanzhong.

"No, why don't I feel familiar?" said another.

"How can there be women in our army?"

"I don't know, but I just think the man with a woman on horseback is familiar, like I've seen it in the barracks. The five people standing together continued to speak, and judging from what they said, it was clear that all five of them were night soldiers.

"Don't say it, I'm a little familiar with that person, as if I saw that person and another person when I was competing in the barracks. When the first person to speak pointed at Lin Xuanzhong alone, one of his companions had an impression of Lin Xuanzhong.

"You two aren't going to be dazzled, are you? "Apparently there are still people who don't believe it.

"Why? We haven't drunk at the inn yet, so I'm not going to get drunk first. In the face of his companion's doubts, the person who spoke just now immediately made a defense.

"That person must have been held hostage by them, and it sounds like he still has some identity. ！”

"It's the son of the city lord, why do these people hold the son of the city lord's mansion hostage in the city?"

"You see a bunch of people coming after them?"

"It's the escort of Cloud City. ”

"With so many people here, I'm afraid things are not easy. ”

"Shall we come along?"

"Let's go to the bar, what's the nosy, we don't have much time. ”

"No, I always felt that those two people were a little familiar, if they were from our army, how could we see them being bullied by the people of Snow Country. ”

"You're right, let's go see where they're going. ”

"Well, let's go!" the five of them chattered, and as they spoke, they decided to follow behind and take a look. Along with the five of them, there are many people in Cloud City who want to see the excitement, it may be that Cloud City has been too calm recently, and they don't want to miss such excitement.

It didn't take long for the five of them to understand what was going on through inquiring and listening to others' discussions. Especially when they heard Lan Xin claiming to be the princess of the Night Kingdom, several people couldn't help but cheer up. Because there have been rumors about big names in the army recently, and now the five of them want to go over and see what is going on.

When Lin Xuanzhong and the others left the city gate, the number of people who followed them decreased, and only a few dozen people followed, as well as refugees outside the city. The previous sister of Sugar Treasure was outside the city at the moment, and when she found out that the seven people who came out were Lin Xuanzhong and a few people, Sugar Yi was very nervous and wanted to run over to Lin Xuanzhong and tell them that Sugar Treasure had gone to the fortress, but she didn't dare to go over.

On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong and the others did not notice the existence of sugar-coated in those refugees because they were paying attention to the people who followed behind them. Not surprisingly, as soon as they arrived outside the city, the escort behind them followed.

"Now that you're outside the city, can you let go of our son?" Wang Huwei walked up with a few entourages and called out to Lin Xuanzhong.

"I'm afraid that there are other people who will come with you and want to let your son go here, we don't dare. Bai Ye looked at the passers-by who had just followed out, and looked at Wang Huwei and the others.

"And what do you want?"

"As long as you don't chase after you, three miles away, we will let your son go. As long as he could ensure that no one was chasing him within the three miles of road, Bai Ye felt that they would definitely be able to return to the barracks safely on their horses.

"If you break your promise, won't our son be in danger? Escort Wang looked straight at Bai Ye.

"Do you have any other choice?" Facing the compulsive gaze of the Wang guards, Bai Ye was not to be outdone.

"That's a good word, I won't take anyone to chase after me now, I hope you can keep your promise. I saw that the Wang guard waved his hand to the people behind him, and immediately expressed his attitude to Lin Xuanzhong.

"Let's go," Seeing that the other party promised not to chase after him in a short time, Bai Ye immediately beckoned the others.

"Ride," several people urged the horses one after another, and the horses galloped out at great speed. At this rate, the three-mile road is just a blink of an eye.

"Do we still want to follow?" Among the people who came out of the city were the five members of the night army just now, and when they saw Lin Xuanzhong riding away at this moment, someone asked his companion.

"They rode their horses, let go of the lord of the city three miles away, and then they should be able to ride away. ”

"Do you mean we're going to go back to the city and continue drinking?"

"Yes. ”

"Wait. ”

When two of them turned to leave, one of them noticed something strange and immediately pointed to the person behind him to alert his companion.

There were some figures walking under the city gate, it was the old man in sackcloth and the other two guards.

"Elder Li, they will let go of our son three miles away. Seeing that the person who came was an old man in Mai, Wang Huwei immediately went over to report the situation.

"Well," the old man in Mai nodded, and then instructed the people around him: "Don't chase first, as long as they let go of Childe, don't even think about running." ”

"Li Dahai, Zhang Shulin, each of you will bring ten guards to outflank you from both sides, and the others will ride over with me. Looking at the direction in which Lin Xuanzhong and the others left, the old man in Mai gave instructions with a cold look in his eyes.

"Yes," the two captains of the guard said one after another, and then each took ten men with them, slowly outflanked them from both sides, and soon ran far away.

At the same time, their figures were about to disappear from everyone's sight.

"It seems that they don't plan to keep their word?" Seeing that the king was guarding them with other plans, one of the night soldiers whispered to his companion.

"What then?"

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, all of them have a little worry on their faces.

"They will ride horses, and there is a good chance that they will catch up. ”

"Aren't they in danger!"

"That's true. ”

"We're going to have to come along!"

"They have all been followed outside the city, do you still want to turn around," the two people who thought Lin Xuanzhong was familiar with each other before, and at this moment, they wanted to save Lin Xuanzhong and the others.

"If you don't disperse quickly, can't you find something to do?" As a result, just as a few people said this, the Wang guard standing next to Li Lao suddenly shouted at everyone.

"What should I do?" The people from the City Lord's Mansion obviously didn't want others to get in the way, and after seeing the surrounding refugees and the people who came with them retreat, one of the night soldiers asked his companion another question.
