It was now time for the guards at the side gate to change shifts, and since the two servants had spent some money, the guards let the carriage out of the mansion without even checking.
After leaving the house, Jiang Zhili stuck his head out and jumped out of the car when passing by an escort agency.
When she got off the car, she did not forget to rummage into the overturned jewelry box, grabbed a handful of gold jewelry, and put it into the back elbow pocket of her sleeve.
I have never even seen the original versions of these jewels.
Jiang Zhili jumped out of the car and hurried to the escort agency.
At this time, there happened to be a team of escort vehicles about to leave the city.
Escort agencies sometimes also bring some people along when escorting goods, similar to modern hitchhiking.
Although the people are now living in peace and security, the public security in the ancient suburbs was still far from good compared to modern society, and there were often bandits around.
Jiang Zhili glanced at the tall men surrounding the escort vehicle and walked over quickly.
She didn't care about anything at this point. More than an hour had passed and she needed to leave the city as soon as possible.
Jiang Zhili took out a golden hairpin from his sleeve, covered it slightly with his hand, and handed it to the leading man in his forties.
Jiang Zhili covered her face, her watery eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was so soft and pitiful.
"Master, please do me a favor. I've received word from home that my father has suddenly fallen seriously ill, and I need to rush home overnight."
The leading master looked at the shining golden hairpin in his hand, and then looked at the elegant woman in front of him.
He waved his hand and said, "Please get on the escort car, we will set off immediately."
The customs of the Yu nationality are open-minded. Although it is rare to see women going out, they do exist.
The girl said that a family member had suddenly fallen ill, so of course she would help if she could, and the girl was also very generous.
Jiang Zhili thanked him and walked to an empty seat on the side of the escort car and sat down.
The person who left the city with her was a man who sat on the other side of the escort car.
The man and the other bodyguards couldn't help but glance at Jiang Zhili.
Although the girl's face was covered, one could tell from her slightly upturned eyes that she was a beautiful woman.
No wonder they chose to travel in the same escort vehicle.
It’s a bit expensive, but it’s safe.
This escort agency is quite famous in the capital and would never do anything dirty.
There were four escorts in the escort carriage. One master was driving the carriage in the front, and the remaining three were riding horses.
The escort car set off soon. Jiang Zhili looked at the four lanterns on the roof of the car and estimated the arrival time.
Duoduo glanced at the blue dot on the map that had not moved. Its mechanical sound seemed a little anxious.
{Host, two hours have already passed. We need to hurry up! The Emperor might return to the palace someday!}
Jiang Zhili glanced at the pitch-black night and replied in his mind, "There's nothing I can do. I've tried my best."
I heard from Duoduo that the emperor hasn't moved. He must be dealing with something. If I'm lucky, I'll have a chance once I get out of the city.
Another half hour passed before the escort carriage left the city gate.
Not long after the escort vehicle started driving, a lot of mechanical sounds rang in Jiang Zhili's mind.
{Host, the Emperor's position has begun to move, but not very fast. If this speed continues, we estimate that we will encounter the escort vehicle within half an hour.}
Jiang Zhili frowned slightly.
She asked: "Duoduo, can you show me the emperor's position?"
Duoduo's judgment is not the same as hers, she wants to see it with her own eyes.
Duoduo paused for a moment before the mechanical sound rang again.
{Yes, host.}
This is an illegal operation in itself, but it feels that the host this time is very reliable, so it should be okay for it to secretly violate the rules, right?
Duoduo unfolded the map in Jiang Zhili's mind.
Jiang Zhili saw two cursors on the empty map, one blue and one red. The red cursor was her own position, and the blue one naturally represented the emperor.
At this time, the blue cursor was slowly approaching her, moving very slowly.
Jiang Zhili's eyes were gloomy.
Did something happen to the emperor?
Jiang Zhili just opened the map and looked at the blue cursor.
She noticed that the blue cursor, after moving slowly, quickly moved towards her for a distance before slowing down again.
Something must have happened.
At this time, a escort on horseback chatted casually: "Tsk tsk, Jingzhao Yin led his men to suppress the bandits a while ago, and it seems to be very effective now."
A group of bandits has recently appeared in the suburbs of Beijing. They often appear at night, intercept escort vehicles and demand tolls from them.
That gang of bandits was so elusive that the government had sent people to suppress them several times before, but they hadn't even seen any trace of them.
It was not until the Jingzhao Yin personally led people there that there was any result.
They were escorting goods, and when they encountered bandits, they usually paid tolls. There was no other way, and no one wanted to lose their life.
Most of the bandits do not kill people. They live in harmony with the escort agency, adhering to the principle of leaving a way out today so that they can meet again in the future.
When Jiang Zhili heard the escort's words, his heart was suddenly shocked.
She looked at the blue dot in her mind, which was moving slower again.
Could it be that the emperor encountered an assassin? !
This routine is extremely common both in history and in novels.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhili became a little restless. If the emperor was really assassinated, that would be her chance!
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. If this is really what she thinks, then her mission will be much smoother!
Jiang Zhili suppressed his thoughts and focused his attention on the blue dot on the map.
At this time, thunder sounded in the sky, and wind and rain fell.
