Chapter 174 The Capital
What happened next was not what Yang Liang thought. After the convoy transporting medicinal materials from Sibao Pharmacy left Suzhou, it passed through Jingzhou and crossed Liuzhou. It was a smooth journey without any incident and entered Jingzhou safely.

Even Yang Liang felt a little strange. Could it be that he had suddenly changed his fortune, so all kinds of bad things stopped coming to his door.

The Zhong family was responsible for the expenses on the road, and the Tongda Escort Bureau took care of things along the way. Yang Liang was very happy and relaxed, but gained weight.

When there was nothing to do, Yang Liang freed up his hands to study the seven-faced ghost statue.

However, no matter what method he used, he also tried to drip blood on the statue's head, but the statue still showed no response.

Yang Liang was puzzled and had no choice but to put him aside temporarily.

Winter turned to spring, and when the ice on the river began to melt, the convoy also entered Jingzhou.

At a noodle stall on the roadside, Yang Liang and others were eating.

"Brother Li, you have to tell me carefully what you usually eat." Shafei said.

Yang Liang put down his chopsticks and said: "What you eat is not important, what is important is how to exercise. You are like me, taking cold showers every day, rain or shine."

"I haven't seen you take a bath these days?" Shafei said.

"Before, I was talking about whether I understood before." Yang Liang said, "Now that I have practiced it, I naturally don't have to torture myself anymore."

"Master Li, when you get to the capital, you should take more care of me." Zhong Yanshou said.

"It's all up to me."

After these days of getting along, we have become a lot more familiar with each other. When we have nothing to do, we sit together and chat, talking nonsense to kill the boredom of the journey.

At this time, the chat between the other two people at the tea stall caught Yang Liang's attention.

"I don't know why the imperial court is so crazy. Longkou Station in front of me insists on checking the route."

"Probably they are trying to find another way to collect money. This is what they did before."

"I think so too, but I see that among the people surveying this time, there seems to be people from the palace. I have stuffed money with them, but they still don't let me pass."

When Commander Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. This is what he fears most when he goes out.

When encountering bandits, there is still room for maneuver. It's just a matter of spending some money, or at worst, a fight.

The most terrifying thing is the officials. If there is no human relationship, they will not let you pass if they say they won't let you pass. It's useless to tear the whole world apart.

Yang Liang was also moved in his heart. Could it be that this group of people came for him.

It's quite possible.

Since taking Lu Yuanyuan to escape, he has never seen anyone from the Silver Blade Guards along the way, and Yang Liang doesn't think they will let him go.

They were almost arriving in the capital now. Could it be that they had set up checkpoints along the way just to wait for themselves to fall into a trap?

It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist. If he is really caught by the Silver Sword Guard, he will not even be able to find a place to cry.

After he finished sipping the noodles in the bowl, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Boss Zheng, Mr. Zhong, there is something I forgot to mention. We will part ways at this point."

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yanshou was shocked and said, "Master Li, aren't we going to the capital together?"

"I made an appointment with someone else to wait for an old friend here, which is nearby. But don't worry, we can still meet again when we get to the capital."

Sha Feiyan asked with concern from the side: "Master Li, can you do it alone? Although this is at the foot of the emperor, you have heard that it is dark under the lamp. The closer you get to the capital, the more roosters and dogs will steal."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Yang Liang said: "I am a righteous person. Not to mention that I will not encounter the robber. Even if I do, there is not much he can do to me."

Sha Feiyan shook his head and said: "Master Li, when you say this, I am even more worried about you. Your idea is too childish."

Yang Liang's expression was full of helplessness. In the end, he tried hard to trick him.

After separating from the convoy, Yang Liang and Lu Yuanyuan were left alone.

Yang Liang asked the people at the noodle stall and found out that there was a small road nearby, which was usually used by traders for smuggling.

However, taking the path requires passing through a long river. At this time, when the spring water begins to bloom, it is difficult to walk in the mud. "It seems we can only take the small road." Yang Liang said.

"Uh-huh."

Lu Yuanyuan held Yang Liang's hand. Yang Liang had a feeling that she seemed to have grown taller in the past few months.

In a deserted place, Yang Liang put makeup on Lu Yuanyuan and asked her to pretend to be a man.

As for himself, he put on a human skin mask and looked ordinary, just a big man on his way.

He became more and more proficient in the art of disguise. After putting on makeup, Lu Yuanyuan really looked like a dark and thin silly boy, and even he could not recognize himself.

Yang Liang asked about the road and took Lu Yuanyuan away from the official road and turned onto a small road.

After walking one more level, towards dusk, a river appeared in the distance.

Many people were passing by with their luggage on their backs. Two officers and soldiers stood on the river bank in front of them, checking the belongings of those who came and went.

"This……"

Yang Liang's expression changed. The imperial court's defense line was tighter than he thought, and even such smuggling routes were taken care of.

As expected, that sentence is true. As long as you don't want to investigate, there is nothing you can't do.

Unfortunately, when I turned around from the path, there was an open space on the river beach.

If you turn around and leave, you will definitely be suspected.

There is no retreat now, so we can only bite the bullet.

Yang Liang held Lu Yuanyuan's hand, quietly slowed down and observed the target.

There were five people on the river beach, two officers and soldiers, and three others who looked both male and female, and seemed to be people from the palace.

Yang Liang is also considering whether he has a chance of winning if he takes action.

If you are really found out, you will have no choice but to fight. If you don't want to do it with the other party, the other party will not let you go.

While thinking about this, Yang Liang had already arrived in front of the river beach, and a wooden bridge appeared behind them.

"Wait a minute."

A drake said in a duck voice: "What do you do?"

Yang Liang smiled honestly and said, "I am a farmer."

"Why do farmers go here?"

"I don't know. You can't leave here." Yang Liang said.

The other party looked at him and his eyes fell on Lu Yuanyuan.

Yang Liang knew clearly that he might not be able to do anything this time.It's easy to hide herself, but the difficulty is for Lu Yuanyuan. At her age, it's almost impossible to disguise.

He stared at the toes of several people, looking for a suitable position. It would be best to knock down one of them at the beginning, and then figure out a way for the remaining people.

"Okay, you go over there." The man with the duck voice suddenly said.

Yang Liang was startled. He didn't expect it at all. He picked up Lu Yuanyuan and hurriedly crossed the bridge.

Behind him, the male duck stared at his back and frowned.

"Sir, this person is very suspicious, why should you let him pass?" said a person next to him.

"The idea is tricky. If we really take action, we will still suffer a loss." The male duck said, "Keep an eye on him first, and then take action when you are ready."
