At the same time, at the north gate of Youzhou.

It was early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, and many people had already lined up in front of the city gate.

Some were going into the city to visit relatives and friends, and some were nearby villagers, hunters, etc., who were carrying mountain products and chickens and ducks raised at home, preparing to sell them in the city early in the morning.

Everyone entering the city must show a pass to verify their identity.

As the team moved slowly forward, it would soon be the turn of the carriage carrying Qi Che and his group.

Chu Qingluan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the towering city wall in front of her and the long queue in front of her, her brows slightly furrowed.

Youzhou City is under martial law. Even if she escapes by chance, how can she get out of the city?

"Your Highness, you'd better behave yourself."

Suddenly, Qi Che's voice sounded beside the carriage, as if he saw through Chu Qingluan's intention to take the opportunity to escape.

"This place is only three miles away from the Third Prince's residence. If Princess doesn't want to implicate these innocent people, she knows what to do."

Chu Qingluan glanced at Qi Che with cold eyes, a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"Young Master Yun has really improved. He has even learned to use these unarmed civilians to threaten others."

Her eyes flickered as she spoke in a contemptuous tone, "How is your behavior any different from that of a street thug?"

Qi Che's face darkened and veins bulged on the back of his hand holding the reins.

"Oh, if I don't do this, how can Your Highness be obedient?"

Chu Qingluan was about to speak, but at this moment, she heard a commotion behind her.

Then, a guard rode forward and reported to Qi Che: "Sir, there are the sounds of horse hooves behind us. The spies reported that Prime Minister Xie Yunqi is leading his men to catch up. The distance is less than five miles!"

Qi Che's face suddenly changed and he tightened his grip on the reins.

Xie Yunqi?

How could he come so quickly?

Qi Che forced himself to calm down, quickly glanced around, and his eyes fell on an inconspicuous teahouse. He immediately ordered in a cold voice:

"Send a message to the secret agent in Qingzhou, saying, 'The fish is in the net, come and reel in the line quickly.'"

The guard was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the carriage where Chu Qingluan was, "But the princess is clearly here..."

"idiot!"

Qi Che kicked the other man and said, "Hurry up and do it! If you delay the opportunity, you will be beheaded!"

What he wanted was to make Xie Yunqi think that Chu Qingluan went to Qingzhou.

The guard rolled on the ground and apologized hastily, "Yes! I'll arrange it right away!"

…

In the blink of an eye, Xie Yunqi and his group arrived at the city gate.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city saw the black-armored guards led by Xie Yunqi and immediately knelt down to salute.

Xie Yunqi was wearing a dark official robe, his clothes were a little messy, but his elegance was undiminished.

He stood in front of the city gate on horseback, scanning the long queue with cold eyes, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

I don’t know if he is too late. If she has already entered the city, it would be difficult to find her.

"Everyone, get out of the car and get checked!"

His voice was not loud, but it pierced everyone's ears like a cold blade.

The team moved forward slowly, and everyone seemed to feel that the air pressure at the city gate was different today. Everyone accepted the inspection carefully. In such a large team, no one made a sound, and even the crybaby stopped crying at this time.

Soon, it would be the turn of the carriage carrying Chu Qingluan, Qi Che and his group.

Inside the car, Chu Qingluan had a veil on her face and her eyes looked through the gap in the curtains, staring at the familiar figure, with complex emotions surging in her heart.

She didn't expect that Xie Yunqi would rush to Youzhou from the capital so quickly.

The carriage was getting closer and closer, and Qi Che's grip on the reins was getting tighter and tighter.

But he kept his head down the whole time and didn't dare to look at Xie Yunqi.

He was afraid of being recognized by the other party, which would ruin everything.

Cold sweat oozed from Qi Che's forehead. He had never hoped so desperately that time could pass more slowly.

The last ten steps...

Five steps...

There are three more steps...

A black-armored guard holding a spear saw that the people in the carriage had not yet gotten off, and was about to step forward to lift the curtain -

Sudden!

"Report——"

A fast horse galloped over from a distance, and the guard on the horse jumped down and knelt on one knee: "Your Excellency, urgent news from Qingzhou! Someone found the princess in the posthouse!"

Xie Yunqi's eyes darkened, "Is the news accurate?"

"It's absolutely true!" The guard presented a silver hairpin, "This was found in the Qingzhou Posthouse. There is a phoenix pattern engraved on the hairpin."

Xie Yunqi took the silver hairpin, rubbed the mark on the end of the hairpin with his fingertips, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

He raised his eyes, glanced vaguely at the carriage in front of him, and then gave the order in a cold voice:

"Everyone, follow me and rush to Qingzhou immediately!"

The black-armored guards responded in unison, and in an instant everyone jumped on their horses. Their movements were quick and decisive, and they disappeared at the end of the official road in the blink of an eye.

Qi Che let out a sigh of relief and exhaled heavily.

He slowly loosened his clenched fist and sneered: "It seems that Prime Minister Xie is just like this."

Inside the carriage, Chu Qingluan also withdrew her gaze with some disappointment.

She didn't expect that with just one step left, Xie Yunqi actually fell into Qi Che's trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

But, did he really fall into the trap?

——

After Xie Yunqi left, Qi Che said something to the guard at the city gate, and the guard bowed and let him go with a respectful look. He didn't even need to be checked, and he swaggered into Youzhou City.

Chu Qingluan took in the entire scene through the gap in the car curtain, her eyes darkening slightly.

It seems that Chu Hong's control over Youzhou City is even tighter than she imagined.
