Sun Ren looked at Chen Yong with a little embarrassment.
"Boss Shen, galloping on horseback is not allowed in the city."
Unless it is an expedited trip of 600 or 800 miles, it will not work.
With so many people in the city, it is easy for civilians to get hurt.
But if we don’t speed up, we will definitely not be able to leave the city today.
"While there is no one around, let's set off immediately!"
Shen Yong glanced at Sun Ren and jumped onto the horse.
It was only five in the morning and the streets were almost empty.
There were so many horse hoof sounds that the people who heard the noise had already hidden themselves.
".......yes!"
Sun Ren was stunned for a moment, and seeing that the women of the Shen family had already climbed on horseback, he also climbed on horseback.
"Da da da~"
The fierce sound of horse hooves rang out in the silent Danyun City.
People who were sleeping soundly on both sides of the street got up in panic, opened the door and looked out, only to see a group of people rushing past.
Such a big commotion soon reached the ears of Governor Wen.
Wen Zhifu, who had just fallen asleep, rubbed his temples.
"Pass it on, clean up the streets, and don't let anyone slow them down."
It’s a good thing that the palace guards are in a hurry to leave.
This meant that they were not here to investigate Danyun City, so he felt relieved.
He would have trouble sleeping if he kept these people around for another day.
Sun Ren followed Zhang Wenyuan and took the lead, galloping towards the city gate.
God knows how nervous he was.
They were afraid that a bailiff would suddenly appear and stop them, and a fierce battle would inevitably break out.
If a fight breaks out on someone else's territory, the ones who will suffer will definitely be these minions.
hiss~
As he ran, Sun Ren glanced at both sides of the street in surprise.
The sun has already risen high in the sky, but why is there still no one on the street?
All the shops on both sides of the street were closed.
Through the window, you can see quite a few people quietly watching them.
Sun Ren squeezed his horse's belly hard, caught up with Zhang Wenyuan, and glanced at him in surprise.
The identity of the Imperial Guard was quite useful. No one stopped him from running wildly in the city.
Chen Yong looked at the extremely clean streets, swept around, and smiled.
It seemed like someone was eager for them to leave.
It seems that Prefect Wen must have found out Zhang Wenyuan's identity as a palace guard and urgently hopes that they will leave quickly.
This is just right, they can be considered to hit it off in an unusual way.
After running around all day, there were almost no people on the streets of Danyun City.
More than a hundred horses were galloping on the street, making an extremely loud noise.
The merchants and people on both sides of the street had already hidden themselves when they heard the noise.
The sun had just set when Chen Yong and his group had already left Danyun City.
"It's still early, let's get to the foot of that mountain first and then rest!"
Chen Yong pointed to the endless mountains not far away and urged everyone to continue on their way.
I was indeed hungry, but it was not appropriate to rest at the city gate since I had just left.
When we got to the foot of the mountain, it probably wasn't too dark yet. After eating and taking a rest, we could also walk up the mountain.
Shen Yong turned around and glanced at the more than one hundred imperial guards following behind him.
Abandoning their horses and marching through the mountains, these people—
Take them with you and train them as the first batch of subordinates.
Everyone took the water bags and took a few gulps of water, then continued to gallop on horseback without a word of complaint.
None of the women in the Shen family said a word, and how could these grown men dare to wail?
Besides, their wailing was useless. If they angered Shen Yong and killed them with a single blow, it would be more trouble than gain.
Prefect Wen's men stood on the city gate tower, watched the palace guards leave, and then hurriedly turned around and rushed to the government office.
Just as Prefect Wen breathed a sigh of relief, his men came rushing in to report,
"Sir, someone from the Ning prefecture in Menglan City wants to see you."
Prefect Wen frowned.
The two cities have never had any special dealings, so why would Governor Ning send someone to find him at this time?
"Let him in."
No matter what, as they were both prefects, he couldn't avoid meeting Prefect Ning's people.
The two cities are neighbors, so it is not appropriate for them to become enemies.
Soon, the chief guard of Ning Zhifu rushed in.
"Greetings, Lord Wen."
"Get up, what can I do for you, Lord Ning?"
Prefect Wen looked at the man dressed as a guard kneeling on the ground and said lightly.
The head of the guards stood up quickly.
"A group of people impersonated imperial guards and stole a lot in Menglan City."
"I followed them all the way here and found that they had entered Danyun City."
"Without further delay, I request that Lord Wen seal the city gates and help capture the traitor."
These words were told to him by Lord Ning.
Not to mention that those palace guards were fake, which prefect would dare to attack them?
"What!?" Prefect Wen stood up suddenly. "You said those imperial guards were fake?"
How is this possible? The guard at the city gate with the badge on his waist would not make a mistake.
Besides, Menglan City is so close to the capital, right under the feet of the emperor. Who would dare to be so rampant?
He directly killed the imperial guards, stole the badge, and pretended to be an imperial guard to steal in Menglan City?
Could it be that the drought is too severe and the rebels have become powerful?
If you think about it carefully, those more than one hundred people do seem to have extraordinary skills.
"Yes!" The guard leader nodded heavily. "This happened suddenly. If you don't close the city gates, the thieves will escape."
Judging from the speed he was rushing at day and night, those people should still be in the city.
You can't walk that fast in the city, so it will take at least a day.
It was already dark at this time, and who knew where the group was resting.
"......." Prefect Wen took a deep breath, glanced at the head of the guards, and sat down on the chair.
“It’s too late!”
"Those people left Danyun City an hour ago."
Fortunately, these people were in a hurry to get on their way and did not steal in Danyun City.
Now, Prefect Ning's men are chasing after those people, so it seems that those people have even less time to steal Danyun City.
Thinking of this, Prefect Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be better for me to die than for my friend to die, as long as I don’t steal from him.
“...left...left!?” The chief guard looked at Magistrate Wen in disbelief.
How could it be so fast? From the East Gate to the West Gate, you have to cross the entire city.
The key point is that there are a lot of people on the streets in the city, so it is definitely impossible to walk fast.
It is forbidden to ride a horse at full speed in any city.
Magistrate Wen curled the corners of his lips and lowered his eyelids.
It was difficult for him to say that he had someone clear the way for that group of people and sent them out of the city quickly.
"Um!"
Prefect Wen nodded and said, "If you chase them now, you might be able to catch up with them while they're resting."
The premise is that these people cannot rest and keep chasing all the way, it is indeed possible to catch up.
The guard leader's face was full of helplessness, his shoulders relaxed instantly, and his eyes were full of fatigue.
It's terrible. If they continue chasing like this, not only will the people be unable to bear it, but even the horses will be unable to bear it.
These palace guards must have eaten monkey meat, so they can escape like this.
They ran so fast, who else could it be if they didn't steal Menglan City?
