Chapter 1151: A Step Late
The soldier looked at her in surprise, and was about to say something, when Long Chi suddenly pressed Lu Liangwei's face into his arms, and then explained with a smile: "The inner man was infected a few days ago, and when he saw the light, he would shed tears, which made the military master laugh." ”
The soldier glanced at Lu Liangwei again with some suspicion, but he still didn't find anything special, and the other party looked sick, but it was better not to have any infectious disease.
Thinking about it, he quickly lowered the curtain.
Seeing this, Long Chi let go of Lu Liangwei and glanced at her sarcastically, but he didn't say anything.
Lu Liangwei saw the re-lowered curtain, and his heart became anxious.
Long Chi also lit her dumb hole, so she couldn't speak at all.
And they also manipulated her face, turning her into another person completely.
She guessed that the portrait in the soldier's hand just now must be her, but because her appearance was covered, the soldier couldn't recognize it at all, she was the person on the painting.
She used blinking and tears to get the soldier's attention, but the soldier didn't think much of it at all.
Lu Liangwei was very disappointed.
But what she didn't know was that in order to keep her reputation, Long Ying only painted a few portraits of her in the portrait sent to Xishuiguan, and she didn't dare to say that she was the queen of the dynasty, but only said that she was a young lady from a minister's family, and she was abducted by human traffickers.
In addition, Lu Liangwei's appearance was concealed, and the soldiers naturally couldn't tell that she was the person in the portrait.
After investigation, the soldiers did not find anything suspicious, so they let him go.
The carriage and horses passed quickly, and they successfully exited the Xishui Pass.
And just before Long Chi and the others came out of Xishui Pass, behind, the horse's hooves shook the sky, and soon, a team of people and horses appeared by the city gate.
The person at the head is Long Xuan, and next to him is the ninth day of the first month.
The two of them took the men and horses and chased them all the way from the imperial capital to here, and according to the clues, Long Chi should have taken Lu Liangwei to Yan Kingdom.
Judging from the clues found a few days ago, it is clear that the people are still in the territory of Dashang, so the two of them traveled day and night to Xishuiguan as quickly as possible, hoping to intercept them.
He took out the token and ordered in a deep voice to the soldiers guarding the city: "There are felons of the imperial court who have fled here, and the suspicion is mixed in with this group of vendors, so quickly close the city gate and conduct a careful investigation." ”
When the soldiers defending the city heard this, they did not dare to slack off, and they were busy closing the city gate temporarily.
For a while, the atmosphere around the city gate became tense and solemn.
Many businessmen who were waiting to leave the customs became impetuous.
Long Xuan didn't care about all this, and with Chu Jiu and the others, he personally checked everyone who wanted to leave the customs.
But after working for a long time, no suspicious person was found.
Long Xuan put his hand on his waist and asked the city guards, "How long has the city gate been open before I wait here?" ”
"About half an hour." When the soldiers defending the city saw that he was sent by the imperial court, their words were very respectful.
Long Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Chu Jiu Dao: "It seems that we are still a step late, maybe before we rush over, Long Chi and they have already been out of the customs." ”
Chu Jiu's heart sank and sank.
The mother has been missing for so long, but it is better not to have something happen.
"Then without further ado, let's get out of the customs quickly." Chu Jiu immediately said. If Long Chi and the others get out of the customs, if they are faster, they may be able to catch up with them.
Long Xuan didn't respond immediately, but looked at the soldier and asked, "Was there a suspicious person out of the customs just now?" ”。
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to slack off, shook their heads and said: "The last general and others have strictly checked every past businessman, and no suspicious people have been found. ”
