Chapter 236: A big shot is coming to the city, we must be on guard

There is never a shortage of curious people at the city gate.

They surrounded the city in circles, crowding the city gate to the point where no one could get in or out.

The soldiers guarding the city looked alert and looked at the old woman with gray hair and a child in front of them with unfriendly expressions.

"You said you were from Chizhou. How far is Chizhou from here?"

"It takes at least three or four months to get from Chizhou to here. How did you get here, with a child in tow?"

There was doubt in their words, but little sympathy.

The only look on the woman's face was suspicion.

"My Lords," the woman said, carrying a cloth bag on her shoulders. Although her eyes were a little cloudy, she still looked determined, "I came all the way from Chizhou with my little grandson.

I came to Wenyang to seek refuge with my youngest son's family. I hope you will show some mercy and let us, my grandson and me, enter the city."

The soldier guarding the city crossed his arms and looked down at the grandfather and grandson: "What does your youngest son do?"

Although their words were polite, they couldn't help but reveal a bit of disdain.

The woman heard their hidden meaning and said anxiously, "I haven't been in touch with my youngest son's family for many years, and I really don't know what his current status is.

But as long as I can go to the city to look for my relatives, my youngest son and his family will definitely take me and this poor kid in!"

The soldier guarding the city scanned the grandfather and grandson several times and said coldly, "Wait outside first. Next one!"

The crowd who were originally watching the excitement couldn't help but feel excited when they saw the team move forward a little.

People's memories are short. Seeing that the soldiers defending the city had no room for maneuver, they ignored the woman who was still begging and hurriedly lined up.

Xie Yongxuan was riding a horse, and he was sitting on the horse, much taller than those people who came over to watch the fun, so naturally he could see the whole story more clearly.

At this moment he silently held the reins tightly.

In fact, he couldn't be 100% sure whether there was anything wrong with the grandparents and grandchildren, but when he saw the old woman huddled in the corner sobbing, he felt inexplicably reluctant.

In fact, Xie Yongxuan has always been a person who makes decisions quickly.

But he thought, he was not alone this time, beside him was the Venerable Longyin, whose origins were unknown, and his sister who was in a hurry to travel.

Xie Yongxuan clenched her fists even tighter.

Without saying a word, he turned his horse around and returned to the carriage.

"Your Excellency," Xie Yongxuan said as she gripped the reins, her fingertips turning slightly yellowish white, her long knuckles almost digging into the reins, "I have something to tell you."

On a mountain road about five miles away from the city gate.

Wang Wu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

He didn't know whether what he had just said "Princess" was right or wrong.

If the criminals were afraid of Jiang Ying's identity as a princess, they should have let Jiang Ying go or run away immediately.

But if the criminals are not afraid, and even use it as a threat, then we will be in trouble.

Looking at the carriage that had been silent for a long time, Wang Wu dug his nails into his palms, leaving several curved marks on them.

After waiting for a long time, a voice finally came from the carriage: "What did you call this girl just now?"

Wang Wu's breath, which had been holding his breath, completely dissipated.

His vision went dark and his heart beat like a drum. For a moment, Wang Wu didn't know whether he should say it or not.

Fortunately, there was no response. The voice in the carriage spoke again: "We are far away from the imperial city. We don't know who is the princess or not.

As long as you leave your valuables behind, the person in the car will be safe. If you don't leave any money behind, she will die. Do you understand?"

Wang Wu trembled all over, he had run into a tough guy.

But fortunately, the tough guy seemed to only be interested in their property.

Rather than something else - for example, wanting to take the princess back to the village and make her his concubine or something.

Wang Wu was thankful in his heart, and he bowed to the carriage, "Okay, it's a deal. You are not allowed to hurt the princess in the carriage. We will put the things you want at the back of the convoy."

"Don't try any tricks. Your so-called princess is still in our hands!" The voice in the carriage was full of warning.

"No, no, don't worry," Wang Wu waved his hands twice and paused, "But we have to make sure the princess is safe now. Let the princess say something first, and then we can put the things away!"

The voice in the carriage was loud and clear, obviously mixed with impatience: "Why so many requirements? The time limit is half a quarter of an hour. If you can't do it, this girl will not live!"

Wang Wu was frightened after hearing this and dared not continue to negotiate with him.

But considering the princess's safety, he had to stiffen his neck and shout inside: "At least let us take a look at the princess to calm our minds. If you kill the princess now, who can we ask for justice?"

The car curtain was opened with a "swish", and Jiang Ying's pale face flashed across the gap.

Wang Wu only had time to recognize that it was the Ninth Princess herself before the curtain of the carriage snapped shut again.

Only a deep voice remained: "See? Go and prepare the stock!"

Wang Wu gritted his teeth and directed people to transport the goods.

Regardless of anything else, the princess is still alive, and her safety is more important than anything else.

However, Wang Wu felt strange when he looked at the carts of treasures. It was said that these treasures were the favorites of the princess. If he gave them away like this, he didn't know how angry the princess would be.

And Wang Wu shuddered slightly.

How will the princess punish me?

The man in the carriage seemed to know what he was thinking and shouted impatiently, "There's not much time left, don't waste time!"

As he was speaking, Wang Wu vaguely heard the sound of a struggle coming from inside the carriage again.

His face lit up with joy. Has the princess woken up?

"Princess, Your Highness!" Wang Wu was no longer afraid of exposing his identity. He had already done so, so he just yelled into the carriage, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

After Wang Wu finished shouting, two "Mmm" sounds were faintly heard in the carriage.

Wang Wu clenched his fists tightly. It seemed that the princess was in good condition!

"Prepare the stock," Wang Wu turned and ordered his team members, his voice trembling with excitement, "Hurry up and prepare the stock!"

When he heard the loud muffled sound just now, he thought something was wrong with the princess in the car.

But the princess just responded to his question, which proves that she is in good condition now, thank God.

Wang Wu touched his neck and felt that his head was almost lost. Fortunately, his head shook a few times and finally did not fall off his head.

At the gate of Wenyang City.

All the convoys passing by were checked one by one.

Those who were being questioned looked somewhat uneasy.

It was not the first time for some of them to come to Wenyang, but it was the first time they were interrogated so harshly. It could even be said that some of the questions were so sharp that they were unwilling to answer them.

Some who were familiar with the soldiers guarding the city had already started to complain: "Why are they checking so strictly for no reason? Aren't they usually allowed to leave after a few questions?"

The soldiers guarding the city did not look joking, but said seriously: "When an important person enters the city, we must be on guard. This is the rule."
