After Chen Xiaonian and the old coachman finished their meal, they packed their luggage, jumped out of the cave together and came to the official road.

After walking for a while, they saw some strange people sneaking around and following their steps into the cave.

Chapter 801 Qiantang Pass

"These torches are still warm, so they must have just left not long ago."

"We found their footprints here. They must have walked along the official road. They may be heading to the next town."

The leader of these masked men looked around seriously and uttered some harsh words.

"Chase him now. If we don't kill Chen Xiaonian today, we will all go back with our heads held high."

After saying that, these masked men set off at the same time, disappeared from the cave entrance, and quickly chased in the direction of the official road.

After Chen Xiaonian and others walked along the official road for a distance, they saw a towering city wall not far away.

"The Qiantang Pass is ahead. Once we pass through this gate, we will be getting closer and closer to the capital. The journey has been relatively smooth. I hope nothing goes wrong inside."

The crowd moved forward slowly, and the vendors around them pushed their wooden carts and shouted.

"Sugar-coated haws……"

“Don’t miss it if you’re passing by!”

"A big, fragrant siomai."

The smell of fireworks around was very strong.

Chen Xiaonian and others, who were originally nervous, felt a very warm environment here.

Just seeing Chen Xiaonian was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

One moment I want to buy this, the next moment I want to buy another.

After a while, Chen Xiaonian was biting a candied haws in his mouth and holding a lot of buns in his left hand.

With all kinds of flowers pinned on his body, Chen Xiaonian was extremely excited for a moment.

No one had ever spent so much money on her since she was a child. This was also the first time for him to have such an experience. He was so happy.

In this way, everyone slowly entered the gate of Qiantang Pass.

I just saw these soldiers around, and I don't know why they were checking very carefully.

Mingyue seemed to have noticed something was wrong. As usual, these soldiers just kept their hands on the door.

But today is so unusual.

"Stop, this is a routine inspection today!"

"Open everything. We're going to search it thoroughly."

Mingyue stopped without much hesitation.

I only saw these people slowly walking to Mingyue's side.

One of the soldiers was groping Mingyue's body, and suddenly he felt a jade pendant around her waist.

The pattern engraved on this jade pendant is also very strange.

The soldier grabbed the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he saw a dragon head-like shape in the center of the jade pendant.

This gave the soldier a fright.

Then I looked more closely and found that the dragon actually had four claws.

Four-clawed dragon, this is really a reckless existence! Second only to the emperor.

At the same time, another soldier was groping Chen Xiaonian.

After opening Chen Xiaonian's bag, he found a golden object in the middle.

The soldier was tempted by the wealth and wanted to take it for himself.

But as soon as he pulled it out, he was so scared that his right hand started shaking and he almost dropped it.

"¨` This... this is an imperial decree! Long live the emperor."

All the people around (who had received money) knelt down at the same time and kowtowed to Chen Xiaonian.

Chen Xiaonian didn't know what was going on for a moment and looked at these people with confusion.

"What's going on? I didn't do anything."

Mingyue put her hands on her chest and shook her head helplessly.

"Don't you see? The imperial edict you carry with you is equivalent to the emperor's existence."

Mingyue smiled with a smug look on his face, as if he knew these things from the beginning.

Chapter 802 The troops are divided into two groups

Chen Xiaonian now has an embarrassed expression on his face and looks around worriedly.

In an instant, everyone bowed down to him, feeling somewhat fearful and nervous.

Chen Xiaonian quickly put away the imperial edict and said.

"Everyone, hurry up, there's no need to be like this, there's really no need to be like this, hurry up, hurry up."

After seeing Chen Xiaonian put away the imperial edict, these people finally stood up slowly.

The soldier from before hurried to Mingyue's side.

"I am sorry for the offense. You are the prince's man. I was reckless just now."

Ming Yuewu said, shaking his head helplessly.

"Hey, it's nothing, you're just doing your job. So, why are you so nervous today? Are you checking so strictly?"

I only saw one of the soldiers speaking slowly.

"We heard that a spy from the Mang people escaped, so we investigated more closely. After all, this is a big deal and we can't afford to miss anything."

Chen Xiaonian nodded slowly and looked at the soldiers.

"Then can we go in?"

All of the soldiers retreated one after another to make way for Chen Xiaonian and his men. Those who were hiding in the dark at first immediately identified their target after they noticed the imperial edict in Chen Xiaonian's hand.

The original intention was to target Chen Xiaonian, and at first they didn't know what the target looked like.

Now that Chen Xiaonian has become the target of public criticism, it may not be so easy for him to escape.

After entering the city, Mingyue smiled triumphantly.

"Don't you feel comfortable being respected by others? Everyone respects you so much, they all kowtow to you!"

Chen Xiaonian knew that Mingyue was making fun of her and looked unhappy.

"Please don't make fun of me anymore, although I am a little happy."

The old groom suddenly interrupted.

"Someone's following us. I'm afraid it's not worth it!"

The old groom suddenly spoke, directly disrupting their happy atmosphere.

I saw Chen Xiaonian looking at the old man, then turning around and looking at him slowly.

But looking back, there were only some ordinary people, and Chen Xiaonian couldn't tell which ones were the bad guys.

"From the moment your imperial edict appeared just now, these people have been targeting us. Their target is clearly you, Chen Xiaonian."

Chen Xiaonian was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, and then he spoke quietly.

"But now that we are inside, they won't dare to attack us at will, right? In this city, do they still dare to attack us?"

The old man said, shaking his head slowly.

"I'm afraid these people have been waiting for us here for a long time. They knew we would come here, so they wanted to assassinate us."

"While you were in the toilet or eating, they had already bribed the local officials."

"So they can calm down any disturbances that occur. Next, we will split up and pretend that Chen Xiaonian is leaving alone."

"Mingyue and I will protect you in secret. If they show up, we will kill them immediately!"

Chen Xiaonian nodded slowly, and then they split into two groups and set off at the same time.

They saw Chen Xiaonian walking alone on the street and began to act secretly.

These people secretly surrounded him, trying to intercept and force Chen Xiaonian into a small alley.

Just as they wished, Chen Xiaonian turned the street and walked behind a house.

Chen Xiaonian pretended to go to the toilet and slowly squatted down, only to see these people quietly coming over from the roof.

Chapter 803 Catch them all in one fell swoop

All we saw were these masked men hiding in the bushes and behind rocks, looking at each other.

They nodded subconsciously and started to act at the same time.

In an instant, Chen Xiaonian was surrounded from all sides, front and back, and above.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen masked men jumped out from the air, weapons in their hands, and flew directly towards Chen Xiaonian.

Chen Xiaonian also sensed them coming, so he stood up with a smile on his face.

Chen Xiaonian's expression made these masked men instantly feel that something was wrong.

At this time, they were flying in the air with daggers in their hands, falling rapidly towards Chen Xiaonian.

"Oh no, it's a trap!"

Only one of them reacted, but it was too late.

In the next second, Mingyue and the old man set off at the same time.

These masked men were unable to move in the air and could only be slaughtered at will like meat on the chopping board.

In the blink of an eye, all the masked men fell to the ground, and Mingyue and the old coachman also stood beside Chen Xiaonian.

Only one of the masked men was seen, and Mingyue walked over and pulled off his mask.

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

They saw the masked man staring at them with a fierce expression, and finally he turned his gaze to Chen Xiaonian.

Then, he suddenly started fiddling with something in his mouth.

After the old groom reacted, he immediately stepped forward and pinched his mouth, but it was too late.

The next second, the masked man had no signs of life and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"They would rather bite their tongues and commit suicide than reveal any information. It seems that these people have been professionally trained and are most likely the prince's men."

"Most people don't have this kind of training. There are so many ways to survive. They won't choose to die!"

Chen Xiaonian lowered his head helplessly and said.

"There's nothing we can do now. We can only keep going. The road ahead may be even harder to walk on."

The three of them slowly walked out of the alley, came to the main street to buy some necessary supplies, and finally found a place selling horse-drawn carriages.

Mingyue spent a large sum of money to buy a horse-drawn carriage, and just like that, the three of them left the city in a swagger.

When they got out of the city, Chen Xiaonian and others sat in the car, feeling very worried.

·· 0Request flowers0 ······

At this time, Chen Xiaonian was worried about the people guarding the Great Wall and what would happen next.

With the carriage, their speed was several times faster than before, and they were almost outside the capital in a short while.

Mingyue opened the curtain and looked outside, predicting that they would arrive in the capital city by almost evening.

.. ........ 0

At this moment, Mingyue finally lay down and closed her eyes in the carriage, feeling relaxed.

Chen Xiaonian asked with a strange look on his face.

"Are you sure you want to sleep now? Who knows, someone might attack us outside and you won't be able to react in time?"
