It's understandable. With so many caravans coming and going every day, the prominent caravans have long since established connections with the city gate officials. As long as there are enough benefits, they can all pass through smoothly.
After the caravan had traveled about half a mile, Mo Lan told Wu Feng to stop, saying, "We can get off here."
"Alright, we'll part ways here. Until we meet again." Wu Feng looked at Mo Lan, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting. "Our young master is not far ahead. Would you like to go and say hello?"
Hearing Wufeng's words, Molan was taken aback. "No need, we're even."
She and Qin Su were not familiar with each other.
No Wind: "..."
As Mo Lan turned around, she noticed Qin Su standing not far away on horseback, his eyes, hidden behind a fox mask, still deep and cold.
Today he was still wearing a sky-blue robe, looking incredibly cool and refreshing.
Mo Lan nodded to him as a greeting, but she didn't intend to go over. Instead, she led Hua Bao to a side path.
"Young Master, shall we set off?"
Wu Feng was also helpless in the face of Mo Lan's indifferent attitude. He walked up to the young master, looked at the two petite figures hidden in the bushes, and asked for instructions in a low voice.
Qin Su calmly withdrew his gaze, dismounted, and boarded the carriage. "Let's go,"
"yes,"
For some reason, Wufeng felt that the young master was angry.
But why?
They made it out of the city safely, didn't they?
Meanwhile, in Ye County, a chaotic scene of chickens flying and dogs barking and shouting erupted from the Chen family, and the entire county was in turmoil until a group of people rushed hurriedly toward the city gate.
"Close the city gates! No one is allowed to leave without the princess's order!" With this hoarse shout, the people queuing to leave the city were immediately frightened and scattered to the side.
The city gate official looked at the newcomer with a bewildered expression, but when he saw the princess's personal guard, he quickly composed himself and asked, "Sir, has something happened?"
"The Chen residence has been robbed, and a report has been filed. The authorities are currently investigating. The city gates must be thoroughly searched. Anyone found carrying large quantities of books and valuables must not be allowed to pass and must await further investigation." Mu Zi gave the official instructions to the city gate officer.
Upon hearing this, the city gate officer was startled, but immediately put on a smiling face and bowed, saying, "Yes, sir, I will definitely have my brothers conduct a thorough investigation and not let a single one slip through the net."
Chen Han, who was standing to the side, wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief and shouted angrily, "Tell me, how many people did you let go before we arrived?"
"this······"
The gatekeeper's heart tightened upon hearing Master Chen's question, but he then smiled sneer, "Master Chen, we have always abided by the law and the city gates are opened on time. There have indeed been a few caravans coming and going, but they are all local caravans from our county."
After speaking, the city gate official lowered his eyelids, his attitude was respectful, but his words were watertight, showing an attitude of following the rules.
Upon hearing the city gate official's report, Chen Han became furious.
"Damn it, what if that thief has infiltrated the caravan?"
"Master Chen, you are wise. We followed the rules and did not find anything suspicious."
The joke is that even if something seems suspicious, we can't admit it now.
"Besides, we couldn't have foreseen the theft at the Chen residence, so how could we have prevented the caravan from leaving the city? Now that we have the princess's order, we will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. Please rest assured, Lord Mu."
Mu Zi could tell that the gatekeeper was somewhat competent, so she nodded approvingly, "Yes, well done."
