While chatting with Zheng Dan, Zu An reaped the constant stream of anger from Sang Qian. If it weren't for the cold prison cart constantly reminding him of his current status, Zu An would have thought he was on vacation.
The convoy soon exited the city gate, and as Zu'an gazed at the majestic city walls slowly receding into the distance, he was momentarily dazed.
When he first arrived in this new world, he rode in Chu Chuyan's carriage and slowly entered Bright Moon City through this gate.
The only difference is that now they are leaving, and they are in a prison van.
"What are you thinking about?" Zheng Dan felt a little uneasy when he suddenly quieted down.
"I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to come back in this lifetime." Zu An sighed. Although he had a rough plan in mind, the final outcome was not in his control.
In addition, based on the information I've gathered at school during this time, this world is much larger than Earth, and without the airplanes, high-speed trains, and other means of transportation like those in my previous life, geographical barriers can easily separate people into different places.
Zheng Dan also sighed, "It's most likely they won't be coming back."
Not to mention Zuan, her future is also uncertain, and she doesn't know what fate awaits her.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "Wait a minute!"
The convoy slowly came to a stop, with sounds of commotion and negotiation coming from ahead.
Zuan was taken aback. He had deliberately released information about the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture beforehand, expecting it to attract the covetousness of various forces. But this person arrived far too quickly, before even leaving the territory of Bright Moon City.
He craned his neck to look and saw a disheveled middle-aged man and a petite and pretty young girl being stopped outside by the Imperial Guards.
Zheng Dan couldn't help but let out a soft snort: "Teacher Zu is indeed exceptionally charming. Even in this state, he still has a confidante who came to see him off."
Zuan laughed and said, "Little Dan, don't be jealous. This only proves that you have good taste."
Zheng Dan's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced guiltily at the prison cart where Sang Qian was. She saw him resting with his eyes closed, perhaps worried that he would be driven mad if he continued to listen, so he deliberately did not pay attention to what was happening here.
"Zu'an is a wanted criminal, no one is allowed to visit him!" The imperial guards kept waving their weapons. If it weren't for Ji Xiaoxi looking so cute and adorable, they would have already drawn their weapons if it were anyone else.
"I just want to say one sentence to him," Ji Xiaoxi pleaded, blinking her big, watery eyes.
Looking into her eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, the hearts of these burly imperial guards almost melted. They were unwilling to be rough with her, but they would never dare to grant her request.
"What's going on? It's been so long and it's still not done?" King Liang said with displeasure, leading his men to investigate.
When he saw Ji Xiaoxi's bright eyes and white teeth, his eyes lit up.
Unlike some young people who prefer mature women like married women, at his age, he still prefers fresh and lovely young girls.
"Bring me... cough cough, since we're looking for a wanted criminal, he's most likely an accomplice. Take him down too." King Liang was well-versed in these official tactics and gave the order directly.
Anyway, once he takes it away, it's up to him to decide what to do with it.
"Ahem!" At this moment, a dissatisfied cough came from the side. Liang Wang reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Ji Xiaoxi, thinking to himself, "Who is disturbing my enjoyment here?"
Just as he was about to explode in anger, he saw the other person's face clearly and was startled: "Ji... Doctor Ji?"
Ji Dengtu sneered, "It seems that Your Highness has not forgotten a commoner like me."
The King of Liang looked resentful. How could he forget? Back then, which family in the capital didn't have their horses and pets ruined by this guy?
They called it a drug trial, but after taking his medicine, they all started to reproduce.
“This is my daughter. She and that guy Zuan used to go to the same school. She has something she wants to ask him. Your Highness, please make an exception for her.” Ji Dengtu chuckled, revealing a set of teeth stained yellow from tobacco.
"Oh, so it's your niece. Of course, no problem." King Liang chuckled. He remembered that this girl was notoriously petty. Although her strength was average, her poison was unpredictable.
Moreover, all his poisons were extremely insidious. I still remember that the Qin family's finest horse died after riding eighteen mares because it was poisoned by this guy.
King Liang thought about his already limp little brother; if he were to be poisoned by these potent drugs, wouldn't he be burned to death by the fire in his heart?
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ji Xiaoxi was overjoyed and hurriedly ran towards Zu An.
"Wait!" King Liang hurriedly stopped her. "Leave the bag; you can't take anything with you."
Although he was somewhat wary of Ji Dengtu, Zu An was a wanted criminal and could not be taken lightly. Throughout the entire process, no one else was allowed to approach, and no one was allowed to pass anything to him, whether it was giving him something or taking something from him, all to avoid any mishaps.
Ji Xiaoxi blushed slightly and hurriedly took off all her belongings: "Is this okay?"
King Liang frowned. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, who knew if he was hiding anything? It was a pity that it was inconvenient to search him now. If he had known this would happen, he should have taken two servants from Mingyue City earlier.
"Of course it is." He replied verbally, but secretly transmitted his voice to Liu Yao, "General Liu, I'll trouble you to keep an eye on things from the side. Make sure nothing goes wrong."
Liu Yaoan snorted. This old fox is pushing the blame onto me, but he had no choice but to follow Ji Xiaoxi to the prison cart.
Looking at the girl walking towards him, Zuan couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Xi, thank you for coming to see me."
Ji Xiaoxi bit her lip: "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to help you."
