Chapter 439: The Final Step Was Blocked
Su Ying rode her horse along the route drawn on the map and stopped at the foot of a mountain when it was dark.
After driving horses for several days in a row, the inside of her thighs were rubbed raw.
Su Ying turned over and got off the horse and took a breath of cold air. The tender flesh on the inside of her thighs was the most delicate, and when it hurt, it felt like being stabbed with a knife.
She tied the horse to a tree nearby, and after making sure that there was no one around, she slipped into the space.
She took off her pants and treated the wound on her leg. She still frowned in pain when the medicine was sprayed on it.
After bandaging the wound, she did not go out immediately, but lay in the space and planned to take a nap. She was not made of iron, and it would be a lie to say that she was not tired after such a long journey.
Su Ying fell asleep not long after she lay down, but she slept very uneasily. There were always some crying sounds in her dreams, which made her feel very uneasy.
When she woke up again, she felt a headache.
Su Ying got up and found some dried meat, dry food and nutrient solution, planning to eat them before continuing on her journey.
When she walked to the shelves in the back row, Su Ying paused and found that there was a room in the back that had been closed.
She had never opened the door of this room since she arrived here, and she had forgotten what was inside.
Su Ying took a bite of dry food, walked over and pushed the door open.
The moment the door was opened, the room became bright. The room was very spacious and was filled with all kinds of transportation.
Su Ying was stunned for a moment. She had completely forgotten that she had these things!
Su Ying ate the dry food and dried meat in her hand in a few bites. With these things, did she still need to ride a horse in the wind and rain?
Su Ying really wanted to slap herself in the face and call herself stupid for not thinking of these things!
Su Ying first left the space. It was still dark outside, so she took out her lighting tools and went to the woods to cut a lot of branches and put them into the space. After the branches piled up to a certain level, she put the horse into the space as well.
Su Ying used a dagger to cut the branches into the shape she wanted, and then wrapped the branches completely on an air motorcycle like weaving a basket. After the camouflage was completed, she changed into a camouflage uniform similar to the branches and rode the air motorcycle out of the space.
The air-powered motorcycle can reach a maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour, but in order not to scare the local people, she will not drive that fast. However, it is still faster than a thousand-mile horse and it is more comfortable to sit in.
Su Ying planned to travel under the cover of night. With this thing, it would take her less time to leave Jin State.
The air motorcycle made a muffled sound in the air, and then rushed out like an arrow piercing the clouds.
Su Ying lay on the car body, and the windproof suit and helmet on her body blocked most of the wind for her.
At daybreak, villagers coming out of the village were preparing to go to the mountains, some to collect grass for pigs, some to pick wild vegetables.
But just as they were going up the mountain, they suddenly saw a green thing moving quickly towards the foot of the mountain. Before they could see clearly what it was, the "monster" flashed past the foot of the mountain with a bang. If it weren't for the swaying branches on both sides of the mountain, they would have thought they had seen it wrong.
Su Ying saw that it was almost dawn, so she stopped the bike. If she remembered correctly, the next stop would be a city. It would be a densely populated area, so she couldn't ride this thing anymore.
She walked forward for a while, and when she felt that more and more people were passing by, she took the air motorcycle back to the space, changed clothes and horses, and rode towards the city.
After entering the city, she just stopped for a while on the street where food was sold, and then continued on her way. After she left the city after dark, she could use high-tech transportation. In this way, she could reach the border of Jin State within two days.
Horses were not allowed to ride in the city, so Su Ying could only dismount and put the food she bought on the horse's back, then eat the pancake while walking.
In order to speed up her exit from the city, she rented a carriage, tied the horse to the carriage and headed out of the city gate.
After leaving the city gate, Su Ying put the purchased supplies into the space, then rode her horse to a remote path. When it got dark, she changed to an air-powered motorcycle and continued on her way.
The speed of the air motorcycle was faster than she had expected, and on the morning of the third day she saw the border gate of Jin State.
Su Ying watched from afar as the officers and soldiers guarding the border mounted their horses, took out their pass documents, and walked over to line up.
As long as she goes out of the border gate, she will be closer to the State of Chu!
Su Ying unconsciously clenched the copy of the manuscript in her hand. She felt inexplicably excited, and the longing that she had suppressed deep in her heart almost burst out.
The border officers and soldiers check very strictly, and even all the belongings brought by people leaving the border will be turned out for inspection.
Just as Su Ying was about to reach her, a group of people suddenly ran over from behind.
"Close the door. Close the door now."
As soon as the leader of the team shouted, the soldiers guarding the gate closed it without any hesitation.
Su Ying's eyebrows jumped suddenly when she saw the closed city gate. She was about to leave the city, but the door was closed at this moment!
Su Ying took a deep breath and quickly suppressed her rising anger.
"There are spies trying to escape. All those who want to leave the border should wait for me. After checking that there are no problems, return to the border town and wait. I will notify you separately when the city gate will be opened."
"Sir, we have to hurry up to do business. We can't keep these goods. Every day we keep them is a day's loss." The truck merchants in the front line shouted with bitter faces, but the officers and soldiers ignored them. Compared with the goods lost by the merchants, catching the spies who are harming the country is more important.
Su Ying looked at the closed city gate. It was not impossible for her to force her way out, but if she went out at this juncture, she would be regarded as a spy wanted by the State of Jin, and would then be chased by the State of Jin and cause unnecessary trouble.
She frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she decided to wait and see what happened. This gate couldn't remain closed forever.
Some soldiers came to Su Ying and wanted to check her luggage.
Su Ying's luggage was very simple, with only two sets of clothes and some dry food. The things she carried on her body could be seen with the naked eye. The officers and soldiers did not waste time with her. After checking her, they went to the back.
All those who want to leave the country wait at the checkpoint, and only after the inspection is completed and confirmed that there are no problems will they be allowed to go to the border town closest to the checkpoint.
Su Ying got on her horse and planned to go to the border town to rest for a night and see the situation before making a decision.
The distance from the pass to the border town is about three or four miles. On the way, many people who wanted to leave the city walked back cursing.
"Damn it, this batch of my products is fresh, but in this weather, they will go bad if I wait for a few days. Who will make up for the money I lost?"
Su Ying turned to look at the other party's carriage, and saw blood dripping all the way in the carriage.
