Chapter 227: Dragon Scales
Qin Shuhuang wore a satin dress worn by an ordinary rich girl, and covered her face with a veil.
After the carriage stopped at the gate of the east city, it heard an officer and soldier outside: "Stop, check!" ”
The middle-aged man sitting with the groom dismounted and saluted the officers and soldiers, and said, "Master Bing, our young lady has an epidemic and will be infected, and the two maids beside the young lady are all infected and are gone today." The old lady has no choice but to order us to send the young lady to the suburban Zhuangzi to take care of it, and you should be more leisurely when you check it. ”
The officers and soldiers in charge of the inspection outside were stunned for a moment, pushed away the middle-aged man and walked towards the carriage.
Qin Shuhuang, who was sitting in the carriage, coughed violently a few times.
Seeing that the carriage curtain moved slightly, and before it was opened, the officers and soldiers said, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Don't waste time spreading the disease to others! Beware of the prefect's punishment of your sins! ”
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Master Bing! ”
The middle-aged man jumped into the carriage and sat down next to the coachman again, ordering the coachman to drive the carriage away from the city gate.
Qin Shuhuang didn't expect this inspection to be so simple and released.
After a distance of about a few hundred meters from the city gate, the coachman began to accelerate, Qin Shuhuang lifted the curtain and took a look, this direction was obviously not in the direction of Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Ningshui City, but towards Lincheng.
After driving in such a hurry for less than three quarters of an hour, suddenly there was a group of pursuing black-clothed men behind him.
The dress of the man in black is very similar to the man in black who assassinated her that Qin Shuhuang met in the eldest princess's mansion!
She's still been discovered!
The group that sent her out of Xue's Mansion had apparently spotted the person chasing after her earlier than her.
The middle-aged man sitting next to the coachman was the leader of the group, and he immediately ordered his subordinates, "We have been discovered, the three of you protect Miss, and the rest of us will join me to meet the man in black and buy time for Miss to escape." ”
After speaking, he said to Qin Shuhuang in the carriage: "Miss, don't be afraid, stay in the carriage, my subordinates will protect you." ”
Qin Shuhuang frowned and answered in the carriage.
The ability of this group of people under Xue Duwei is good, but compared to the regent's black-clothed people, they are still far behind.
She can't rely on this team completely!
At this moment, Qin Shuhuang was a little glad that Xuan Cang was not with her.
Otherwise, once something happens, I'm afraid it will affect Xuancang.
The speed of the carriage suddenly increased, and it was so jolting that it seemed like the whole carriage was about to fall apart.
Qin Shuhuang in the carriage grabbed the place where the window of the carriage was strong, fixing his body.
Outside, the middle-aged man had already led people to ride a horse to meet the man in black behind him.
Qin Shuhuang lifted the curtain and glanced at it when the carriage turned a corner.
The middle-aged man and his men were no match for the man in black at all.
After only a few rounds, the middle-aged man was cut off by the man in black, and almost all of them were killed with one blow!
Not to mention dragging the man in black, it didn't stop the man in black at all.
This group of black-clothed people raised their whips, and the horses under their crotches ran faster, getting closer to Qin Shuhuang's carriage!
And there are at least twenty of them, and there are only four people left on their side plus Qin Shuhuang in the carriage!
A small courtyard in Ningshui City.
The courtyard is ordinary, clean and tidy, and the only feature is that there is a persimmon tree in the courtyard that is decades old.
The persimmon tree grows luxuriantly, and in late autumn, when the persimmons are ripe, many red persimmons are hung on the whole tree.
Xuan Cang stood under the persimmon tree with a cold face, waiting for someone to go to the appointment.
After blowing the bamboo whistle, an ordinary man walked out from behind the house in half an hour.
Look carefully, this ordinary man is the one Xuan Cang saw last time at the Shijia County Inn in the middle of the night.
The man saluted to Xuan Cang, "Have you thought about it?" ”
Xuan Cang's deep eyes looked at the gray sky outside the courtyard, and said lightly: "This king has thought about it and accepts your conditions!" ”
The man's face was overjoyed when he heard this answer, but he still tried to restrain himself, and he reiterated again: "Lord Wang, you have to know what the consequences of accepting our conditions will be, we promised the old prince that you will not embarrass you, do you really think about it?" ”
Xuan Cang nodded affirmatively.
The man immediately knelt down in front of Xuan Cang and said respectfully: "Dragon armor to meet the Lord!" ”
After speaking, he presented a seal and a ring, "Lord, this is the seal of dragon scales and the black dragon ring, please keep it carefully!" The Lord can order his subordinates to do three things before accepting the official inheritance, as long as the dragon scale can do it, he will never give up! ”
Xuan Cang took the seal from Long Jia's hand.
The seal is in the shape of dragon scales carved from mutton fat jade, and the dragon scales are painted with strange and intricate patterns.
If you look closely, you can see that the seal is only a part of the whole seal, as if it is in the middle.
There are at least four parts of the complete seal.
The ring is an extremely rare black jade, it is more appropriate to call it a wrench, and the whole ring is entrenched with a black dragon with teeth and claws, which looks terrifying.
Xuan Cang clenched the seal and ring in his hand, ignoring the pain caused by the edges and corners of the seal and ring carved into the palm of his hand.
The path that his father and mother least wanted him to take, he still took today......
Xuan Cang closed his eyes and calmed his emotions that were surging like angry waves.
After a while, he coldly ordered Long Jia, "How many dragon scale guards can you mobilize in half an hour?" ”
Long Jia replied, "Back to the Lord, there are not many dragon scale guards in Ningshui City, and only five people can be mobilized in half an hour, and if you give your subordinates another two quarters of an hour, you can have ten more!" ”
"First transfer five people to follow this king, and the remaining ten people will be led by you, and they will catch up after half an hour!"
"Yes, Lord!"
After speaking, the dragon armor shook its head and disappeared near this small courtyard in the blink of an eye.
A quarter of an hour later, five people in various costumes appeared in the small courtyard.
There are chubby butchers, lean dart masters, and storytellers who look like scholars.
The five of them saluted towards Xuan Cang in unison, "The Dragon Scale Guard greets the Lord!" ”
Xuan Cang glanced at the five of them, and said coldly: "Go out of the city with this king!" ”
"Yes!"
After Xuan Cang gave the order, a person immediately stepped forward with clothes and other things to give Xuan Cang a look.
In less than half an hour, Xuan Cang became an old man with gray hair.
"If the Lord goes out like this, he will easily pass through the search at the gate of the city."
Xuan Cang did not question their ability, nodded, and left the small courtyard with a few people.
From the mouth of the dragon scale guard, Xuan Cang already knew that Luo Chu took Qin Shuhuang to the Xue Mansion, and then Xue Duwei's adjutant betrayed, and this adjutant led people to personally search the Xue Mansion.
Luo Chu had already left the Xue Mansion, but the people who followed him did not have Qin Shuhuang.
It is impossible for the Xue family to still hide Qin Shuhuang, so the only possibility is that Qin Shuhuang will be sent out of Ningshui City by Luo Chu or Xue Duwei's people.
To get this result, Xuan Cang only needed to send people to pay attention to several gates of Ningshui City.
Once Qin Shuhuang leaves Ningshui City, he will definitely leave clues for him near the city gate!
Sure enough, Xuan Cang soon found a strip of cloth specially left by Qin Shuhuang on a tree near the East City Gate, the strip of cloth had the same texture as the one left before, and the word "Luo" was also written as before.
