"There are soldiers blocking the road ahead."
Bei Yutang lifted the curtain of the car, and a group of soldiers appeared in front of him, blocking the middle of the road.
An officer ordered them, "Everyone in the car, get off."
Xue Qian bowed to the officer and asked, "Sir, what happened?"
"A bandit has escaped, and we're trying to apprehend him. Everyone in the car, get out. We're checking."
Bei Yutang and his companions got off the carriage. The officers and soldiers looked at them, and then several officers and soldiers went forward to search the carriage. They knocked on it for a while, and found nothing after searching around.
"Have you seen anyone suspicious?"
Daixiang thought of the group of strange people she had met before and was hesitating whether to speak.
Bei Yutang spoke before her, "No."
The officers and soldiers waved at them and said, "Okay, you can go now."
The group got on the carriage and quickly moved away from the group of officers and soldiers.
Dai Xiang hesitated for a moment and then said, "Sister Mu, could those people we met the night before yesterday be bandits? From what I see, that man definitely doesn't look like a farmer."
"I don't know. Don't tell anyone about this to avoid causing trouble." Bei Yutang reminded.
Dai Xiang guessed correctly that this group of officers and soldiers came out to look for the fourth prince Gu Fanzhi.
Xiao Moer then said, "Sister Daixiang, if they really are bandits, we should tell the soldiers. If they don't catch them, they will definitely come to retaliate against us. Bandits are extremely vicious and cruel."
Daixiang was right, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, she didn't say it at that time.
Before the city gates were closed, the group arrived at Yanzhou City. As soon as they entered Yanzhou City, they found that it was heavily guarded.
"Why are there so many soldiers here?" Dai Xiang looked at the soldiers running past on the street from time to time.
The waiter whispered, "Alas, it's all the fault of the bandits. They've captured the Fourth Prince, and now the entire prefecture is under martial law."
"The Fourth Prince?!" Dai Xiang exclaimed in surprise.
The waiter made a shushing gesture and said, "Young lady, please don't spread the news. This matter is all spread secretly. No one knows the details. But looking at the current situation in Yanzhou City, it is most likely true."
They had no intention of staying here, and after hearing about the Fourth Prince Gu Fanzhi, they forgot about it.
Three days later, a carriage was seen heading towards Chang'an City. The closer they got to Chang'an City, the more carriages there were on the official road. That day, the group stayed at an inn outside Chang'an City, waiting to enter the city early the next morning.
The four of them sat in the living room. Businessmen and travelers were coming and going in the hall. As the New Year was drawing to a close, many businessmen and travelers from all over the country returned to their hometowns or took advantage of the New Year holidays to make some money.
Just now, a group of people came to the inn. They were wearing ordinary clothes, but from the way they walked, it was obvious that they were martial artists.
"Waiter, give us three large bunk beds."
When the waiter gave them the key and was about to go forward to help move the goods, he was blocked by a big man.
"We can move these goods ourselves, you go ahead and do your work."
The waiter was a smart man and knew that the items were valuable, so he didn't allow outsiders like them to touch them.
Many people in the store noticed their actions and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the boxes they were carrying.
I heard several men at the next table whispering.
"I wonder what's in their boxes? They're so cautious."
