Chapter 120: There is no danger to get out of the city gate
The three of them sat in the big wooden barrel, and it was pitch black in front of them, in addition to hearing each other's breathing and heartbeat, they also occasionally heard the sound of Ula Peach nauseating and retching as if they had not vomited.
Unable to see the situation outside, Alayanzong was worried that the movement inside the barrel would attract the attention of the officers and soldiers.
Alayanzong raised his vigilance and listened carefully to the sounds outside, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels was endless, and from time to time there was the sound of the old man's whip and the shouting of the horses.
It was very depressing to sit in the barrel, and Alayanzong listened to these monotonous sounds, but felt a little more at ease, because it meant that it was safe outside.
Suddenly, the sound of neat footsteps was heard, and the sound came along the ground, forming a resonance in the barrel through the carriage, and Alayanzong and the others heard it clearly, it should be the patrolling soldiers coming over.
Not only did Alayanzong and Allah raise their hearts to their throats, but Ullah's Peach stopped retching, and was already holding her breath and covering her mouth.
Alayanzong couldn't see their expressions, except for hearing each other's pounding heartbeats, he could no longer hear the sound of difficult breathing.
Alayanzong pricked up his ears, feeling the changes outside.
I only heard the old man who was driving the car "shout", the sound of the horses' hooves stopped sounding, and the sound of the wheels stopped.
With a "bang", the old man seemed to jump out of the car, and the sound of lifting the wooden lid of the wooden barrel behind him, followed by the guttural sound of the old man's voice, as if he was carrying heavy objects.
There was a sound of water, and the old man poured a bucket of water into the wooden barrel behind him, and later, the empty bucket was put back to its place with a slight sound of landing. It was very clear to the Arayanzong, and then there was the sound of the lid of the barrel on the barrel.
I heard the old man shout "Drive" again, and the carriage moved forward slowly.
Alayanzong thought to himself: This old man is quite witty.
After about a cup of tea, he heard the noise of people outside, and the old man had already gotten out of the car and reined in his horses, as if waiting for something.
Alayanzong listened carefully, and felt as if he had now arrived at the south gate of the royal city. There was the incessant shouting and neighing of the horses, the chaotic sound of the horses' hooves on the ground, and the shouts of the coachmen controlling the horses.
Suddenly, I heard the shouts of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, "Are there customs clearance documents for so many carriages leaving the city?"
"Yes, yes! here. "Somebody is running.
When Alayanzong heard this person's voice, he felt a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.
After a while, I heard a shout, "Open the city gates, let go!"
"Squeak and crunch" the city gate opened, and then there was the sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak" drawbridge locks, followed by the sound of whips loudly shouting horses to move forward to pull carts, horses' hooves on the ground, wheels rolling, chaotic symphony, as if there were convoys out of the city one after another.
Alayanzong sat in the bucket and felt the old man leading the horse and moving slowly.
Just walked a short distance, and then heard a broken shout: "Stop!"
"Phewβ" The old man reined in his horse again, and the vehicle stopped.
"Master Jun, I'm pulling water!"
"Didn't you just pull a cart?" asked the defender who had just stopped the old man.
"There is a lot of water today, and I can't pull it all at once, so I have no choice but to pull it again. β
"Then we're going to have a routine check-up as well. β
"Master Jun, come and see closely. β
There was a sound of footsteps approaching the vehicle, followed by the sound of the old man lifting the lid of the barrel behind him.
"Master Jun, you see, it's indeed water, or you smell it, it's a proper sour smell. β
"Go! How can you ask your master to smell the water?" the defender seemed to be disgusted, and took a few steps back.
But the old man said again: "That bucket of military master doesn't smell it, or the military master smells this barrel." As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the large barrel in front of him.
The defender waved his hand repeatedly, "Go, go, go! β
The old man smiled, "Didn't you let Master Jun check it? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to pay the errand!"
"Two buckets of water, you let me check a fart! β
"Okay, okay!"
I only heard the voice of the old man asking for something, and soon heard the old man say: "Thank you, Master Jun!"
"Let's go! The smell is stinking, and it affects the mood of the master. β
"Let's go, let's go. Drive!" Then a whip was heard, and the carriage rolled forward again.
Alayanzong felt that the carriage was passing through the city gate, and the hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and after a little more torment in the barrel, he could breathe, and a little farther he could come out of the barrel.
Ulla's peach let out a sigh of relief, "Mom, I'm about to suffocate me!"
Allah's junior also whispered: "I dare not come out because of the atmosphere." β
Alayanzong hurriedly stopped, "Now it's just under the city gate, and you haven't crossed the moat drawbridge, so you are not allowed to speak." β
was muttering quietly, and the sound of a fast horse coming could be heard, and it seemed that it was not a horse yet.
Ullah's Peach and Allah's Junior immediately fell silent.
Again, Alayanzong raised his vigilance, listening to the movement outside. I could only hear the officers and soldiers guarding the city shouting: "Stop! When you arrive at the gate of the city, you dare to gallop your horse and gallop fast! Is there a customs clearance document?"
"There is a customs clearance document, didn't the carriage in front of you show it?"
"The carriage in front, the carriage that pulls the water? Does it take three people to pull the cart and the water? And two people to escort the horseback? I think you're kidding?"
It seems that someone who came was stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city.
"Early this morning, I'm talking about the trucks that haul the grain and grass. β
This voice was so familiar, the Alayan Sect had already heard it, and it was Mednanfu, and he was shocked, he had come so quickly! He was going to chase his convoy back to Dmitry Manor.
I didn't see a single grain or a single grass on the convoy, and they were almost empty, only a few cars loaded with some goods, but they were definitely not grain and grass. Are you mistaken? I want to get out of town. β
I only heard that Mednanfu said a little anxiously: "This military master, you are newly transferred, I am very familiar with your commander." He knew that I would come to the royal city almost once a month. β
The officer and soldier guarding the city said: "It's useless to know anyone, and we are not allowed to let us go without customs clearance documents, I hope you don't let us lose our heads, or please go back!"
I heard the gate creak, and it seemed like it was really going to close. At this moment, there was a scolding, "Wait!"
A man's rough voice came, "Mr. Med is a famous merchant who transports grain and grass for our army, and has traveled back and forth to the royal city many times, so he must not be lazy. Naturally, he has a clearance disc, so let's release it quickly!"
Then Mednanfu hurriedly said, "Thank you, Great Commander, for showing up in time, otherwise I would have missed the journey back." β
"Don't be polite, let's chase your convoy!"
Mednanfu muttered two more words, and said loudly again: "No respect, thank you for the Great Commander!"
"Go, go!"
There was the sound of horses' hooves, and two fast horses galloped out of the city.
Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves approaching, Alayanzong knew that Mednanfu was catching up.
