Chapter 425
Long Heng heard it amused, and said with a smile: "Red-waisted girl, is that really the case?"

Xiao Ye Zi blushed and said, "Second Master Long, don't listen to his nonsense. He can't spit out ivory."

Long Heng laughed loudly: "In that case, then Long Heng will also be the host. Well, the red-waisted girl is a descendant of my father's old friend, so she is from the same generation as my daughter. As long as you are willing to salute according to the customs of the Lingyue Dynasty, I'll take care of your wedding, how about it?"

Yang Yizhao hastily cupped his hands in thanks: "That's great, thank you, Mr. Long Er, for your success!" After speaking, he blinked at Xiao Yezi: "Did you hear that? I also have the support of my natal family. Everyone is evenly matched."

Xiao Yezi raised her hand, pretending to hit him.Yang Yizhao exclaimed, and hurriedly patted his horse forward and dodged, laughing at her while hiding: "It's inappropriate to hit your husband before you get married!"

He was preoccupied with rushing forward, but he didn't pay attention to a person rushing out of the woods in front of him.Startled, Yang Yizhao reined in the horse hastily, only to hear the horse neighing again and again, and it leaped into the air, almost stepping on the person in front of him.It was too late to say it, but then it was too late, Xiao Yezi kicked her feet, and flew up from the horse, and arrived first, grabbed the man and moved to the side.In the dust, the two fell to the ground.

Yang Yizhao got off his horse in a hurry, and rushed forward to help Xiao Yezi: "How? Are you okay?"

This rolling was really hard, not only Xiao Yezi's butt hurt, the other person also fell on his back, and his belongings were scattered all over the floor.

Long Heng got off his horse to check, and seeing that there were some gold and silver utensils in the mess, he immediately became suspicious, grabbed the man, and asked, "Who are you? Why did you suddenly appear here?"

When the man saw the Lingyue teaching uniform on Long Heng's body, he was immediately frightened and trembled like chaff: "...the villain...the villain is just passing by...passing by..."

Yang Yizhao helped Xiao Yezi clean up the dust on his body, and said coldly: "Passing by? Seeing that you are flustered, there must be something wrong. I advise you to do it honestly, otherwise you will be attractive."

The man's face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "...Little man, the villain is indeed just passing by..."

Long Heng's subordinates stepped forward and presented the picked thing to Long Heng.Long Heng glanced at it, and his expression became more serious: "A passer-by can actually hide artifacts from Yuehua Palace... You are really extraordinary as a passer-by."

The man was shocked, and couldn't bear the pressure anymore, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, my lord, the villain deserves death... But the villain is really just a peddler, buying and selling to make a living, really I didn't mean to bump into adults on purpose..."

Long Heng said angrily: "It's one crime of assault, one crime of privately reselling, one crime of stealing items from the forbidden palace, all three crimes will be punished together. Someone, tie him up and bring him back to Yuehua City for punishment!"

The subordinates rushed forward, picked up the objects on the ground, and tied the businessman to the back.

Yang Yizhao touched Xiao Yezi's forehead, and said distressedly: "Look, there's a cut. Fortunately, I brought some ointment. Let's go, I'll apply it to you."

Xiao Ye Zi nodded and was pulled forward by him.He had only taken two steps when something crushed his feet.She looked down, but saw that a small silver pipe was half stuck in the soil, she stepped on it, and immediately squashed half of it.

She lowered her head to pick up the pipe. She always felt that the pipe looked familiar, but she had a headache and couldn't remember it for a while.

"Second Master Long, there is one thing missing here." Xiao Yezi handed over the pipe.

Long Heng looked down at the pipe, frowned, and said, "This pipe... doesn't look like something from the palace. Forbidden palace products usually have specific patterns. Although this pipe is made of silver, it is not a rare item. It may be a passer-by. left here."

It's not something in the palace, but it looks so familiar?Xiao Yezi was still thinking, Yang Yizhao had already dragged her aside to help her apply the medicine.The potion was a bit stinging, so she put the pipe in her arms and hissed.Yang Yizhao said softly: "Does it hurt? Don't be brave in the future. Fortunately, I stopped it in time. What if the horse loses control and gets hurt?"

Xiao Ye Zi smiled: "Where is it that I am so fragile? Do you think I am alive and well? You should praise me for my improvement in kung fu."

Yang Yizhao chuckled: "Yes, my lady is very good at martial arts, very powerful."

Not long after, Long Heng beckoned the two to move on.A group of people worked hard and finally arrived at Yuehua City in the evening.

This is the first time that Little Leaf has come to its capital, Yuehua City, since she came to Lingyue Dynasty.

During the two years of searching for Bi Ling, it's not that she never thought of approaching Yuehua City.However, Yuehua City is heavily guarded, and martial law has been set up a few miles outside the city. Without the identity certificate of Lingyue Sect's important members, or the leader's handwritten letter, it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to Yuehua City.

Long Heng took out his badge and led the team through the checkpoint.

Xiao Yezi saw that the checkpoint guards inspected the items very strictly, and couldn't help but feel even more puzzled: If it is so strict, why can an ordinary traveling merchant smuggle out the treasures of the forbidden palace?

After passing the checkpoint, she patted her horse and went forward to interrogate Long Heng: "Second Master Long, how many checkpoints are there for defending the city? How many checkpoints are there for each checkpoint?"

Long Heng replied: "There are three checkpoints for guarding the city. The first checkpoint we just passed is about six miles from the city wall, divided into eight checkpoints: East, West, South, North, Southeast, Southwest, Northeast, and Northwest. Go further inside There are four city gates in southeast, north and west. Further in, there are two entrance gates before and after the Forbidden Palace."

Xiao Ye Zi sighed: "Hey, it's really not easy to smuggle things out with so many checkpoints."

Long Heng nodded and said: "In theory, that's the case. But the guards are all human beings, and human beings have weaknesses, and it's possible to be bribed temporarily."

Little Ye Zi pondered: "I see that there were more than a dozen people at the checkpoint just now, maybe it was just a quota for one of the shifts. If the traveling merchant wants to pass the checkpoint, he will definitely be inspected by the guards. There are so many checkpoints, in order to pass the checkpoint, you need to buy so many people at once, the people who buy them must be quite rich. Willing to spend so much money to manage, I don’t know if they transport those treasures and resell them, can they really make back the profit? These Among the guards, is everyone greedy for money? There is no one who is honest? If you really meet such a person, how should you keep your mouth shut? It is really difficult to complete this task."

Long Heng frowned and said: "Fortunately, we bumped into this traveling businessman, there is always a way to make him confess."

Yang Yizhao pondered: "Since ancient times, corruption has only been achieved through collusion. Who is behind this, or who is behind it, or who is involved, is still unknown. In my opinion, we should be careful everywhere."

Long Heng agreed: "Mr. Shu is right. After we enter the city, we still have to act cautiously."
