Chapter 219 Entering the City
Seven days later.
Su Chengnan and his group finally arrived in Ningguta.
The fat man knocked on the car door excitedly: "Ladies, we're here."
Su Chengnan put down the hot water bottle in his hand, lifted the curtain and looked out. Snowflakes were floating in the sky, and the snow was white. The city gate of Ningguta looked particularly solemn in the wind and snow.
Soldiers stood at the city gate with weapons in hand. Although there were very few people coming and going, their inspection looked very rigorous.
"We're finally here. We don't have to ride in a carriage anymore." Su Linhua said excitedly.
"Yes, a new life is about to begin." Su Chengnan sighed.
The carriage gradually slowed down.
The Su family's team was very large. Not only were they escorted by soldiers and officers, but they also had more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages and a large number of people accompanying them. From a distance, one could tell that they were not an ordinary wealthy family.
The specifications of the carriage that Su Chengnan was sitting in were obviously different, and the logo of Ningyuan Palace was engraved on the frame. Such a scene naturally alarmed the guards at the city gate early on.
"Boss, I wonder who is here..."
"Don't you see that's the palace's sign?"
"The palace? Why would someone from the palace come to our cold and bitter land? Is there something wrong?" a soldier wondered.
"Yeah, I can't figure it out either." The leader was also puzzled.
"What should we do then?"
"Go and report to the city lord immediately. I will go down and delay the process for a while."
"good!"
While they were whispering, the Su family's convoy had already reached the city gate and stopped.
Bingsan dismounted from his horse and strode towards the door.
"Who are you?!" The soldier at the door stopped him.
"General, we are here to settle in Ningguta. We are accompanied by people sent by Beiling to protect us. We hope you will let us pass."
"Oh? Beiling? Who are you to General Li?!"
The chief guard who was guarding the city gate had hurried to the door and took over the conversation.
"This is a handwritten letter from General Li to the mayor of your city. We will deliver it to the mayor's mansion immediately after we enter." Bingsan took out the letter from his arms and held it high.
"Oh?" The leader of the city gate guards raised his eyebrows and was about to reach out to take it.
But Bingsan raised his hand back and avoided his hand. He would certainly not let these people unfold such valuable things at will, let alone just a small soldier guarding the city gate.
Seeing this, the people sent by Beiling to protect them could not help but ride their horses closer and help exert a lot of pressure.
But precisely because of this, the other party dared not let him go easily.
"Our Ningguta is a place of exile, not an ordinary town. I'm sorry that I can't let you go easily. Since this letter is given to our city lord, why don't I pass it on? Please wait here."
Bingsan frowned, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
The other party refused to budge: "What's wrong with that? You want to bring your troops into Ningguta? If something goes wrong, I can't take the responsibility!"
"you!"
"If you don't want to, then please go back to where you came from!"
His attitude was very tough, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong.
Su Linhua subconsciously clenched Su Chengnan's arm, "Eldest sister, why didn't this guy let us in? Our team is so high-profile, and we can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. Isn't it stupid for him to be so rude?"
Su Chengnan shook his head solemnly: "Looking at the way he's dressed, he's definitely not an ordinary soldier. He shouldn't be so tactless. I'm afraid he's just trying to delay time."
"Delaying time? Why is that?"
"I don't know...but I'm afraid the water in Ningguta is very deep."
Bingsan wanted to argue, but Qingshan had already rode forward and showed him a token.
"This is a distinguished guest from the Ningyuan Palace. You should leave immediately and stop trying to stop him. Otherwise, when I meet the city lord, can you afford to blame him?"
"Ningyuan Palace?" The man muttered silently, but his eyes had already drifted to the back.
He squinted his eyes and carefully saw the special mark on the palace sign, then he knelt down with a plop: "Damn you, I didn't recognize that it was the carriage from Ningyuan Palace and disturbed you! We will withdraw now!"
"Quick, quick, put it down!"
The others were still stunned! They all looked towards the carriage.
The name of the Ningyuan Palace is well-known throughout the border areas. Who among those who wear military uniforms does not admire the Ningyuan Prince? Really, no matter who has a problem, King Ningyuan will have no problem.
"What are you still standing there for? Let them go!" He slapped the soldier next to him on the head and yelled.
The people around seemed to have just woken up from their dream and immediately scrambled to remove the roadblocks.
Someone came closer and whispered to him, "Boss, is this really the Ningyuan Palace?"
"Of course, didn't you see the word Ning on the carriage? I didn't see it clearly just now, otherwise I wouldn't have stopped it. And that token, it's made of gold! It's real, not fake." He lowered his voice and spoke quickly, then continued to laugh at Qingshan.
Bingsan and Qingshan looked at each other.
Bingsan led the team to go inside first, while Qingshan stayed behind to provide support. As for the soldiers sent by Li Shanqi, they did not leave in time, but followed him into the city according to his private instructions.
"Miss, what should we do now?" The carriage was moving very slowly. The fat man lowered his voice and turned back to ask Su Chengnan.
"Pay someone to lead the way to the City Lord's Mansion."
"good!"
"Bingsan!" Su Chengnan called out again.
"Miss, I am here."
"When you take Uncle Fu to buy a house, you don't have to be afraid of spending money. What matters is that you make it a grand event, okay?" Su Chengnan looked at him deeply.
Bingsan was a smart guy and understood what she meant immediately.
"Okay, I understand."
"Here are twenty gold bars and one hundred thousand taels of silver notes!" Su Chengnan handed a square box out of the car window, "Just make the decision for you."
Bing San's body was shaken, and he felt trust, "I will definitely live up to your trust, young lady."
"Go ahead."
"yes!"
At this time, everyone in the Su family had already entered the city. Qingshan caught up from behind, took over Bingsan's position and walked to the front.
It had been a long time since Ningguta City had been so lively. Everyone leaned out to watch the Su family's team. Even the officers who had been scolding the prisoners stopped, allowing the prisoners who were being beaten and scolded to take a moment to breathe.
In less than an incense stick of time, the rumor spread throughout the city.
Everyone knows about it.
People from the Ningyuan Palace are going to settle in Ningguta. Not only did he bring many slaves, but he was also accompanied by soldiers from Beiling as guards. It was obvious that he was a person of noble status.
But some people also said that no matter what kind of noble person he was, he would not be stupid enough to come to Ningguta by himself. He must have committed a crime to be driven here. No matter how grand the show was, he was just a phoenix in distress...
