If he wasn't the city lord's son, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the city.
Could it be that these two people want to follow him into the city?
Could it be that these two people knew his identity? They had deliberately blocked him on the road before.
"It's not impossible for you to come with me into the city. But I'll have to have someone watch you once we're in. Don't blame me for sending someone to monitor you. Things have been uneasy lately, and all the cities are under lockdown. If you're any bad guys, I'll have an explanation to give to the higher-ups then."
Hua Yuqi always felt that there was something wrong with the man and woman in front of her.
Although he initially agreed to take the two of them along because of Xiao Qingran's beauty, he was not someone who would be blinded by lust.
"In that case, please drop us off outside the city. We won't be going into the city."
Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan looked at each other.
The city is actually closed?
Why does it feel like it's targeting them?
However, this is just Xiao Qingran's guess.
If they were really targeting them, wouldn't entering the city expose their position further?
Hua Yuqi looked at Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan with scrutiny. Suddenly she smiled and said, "You are not from the ancient martial arts world, are you?"
Although Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan were very surprised in their hearts, they appeared to be extremely calm.
"How do you know?"
Xiao Qingran looked normal.
Want to cheat them? This level is not enough.
"I'm just asking casually, please don't mind."
Hua Yuqi just felt like she was punching cotton.
He was absolutely certain that these two people did not seem to be from the ancient martial arts world.
But no evidence was found.
However, in recent years, there have been too many people from the secular world coming to the ancient martial arts world. Even if these two people admit that they are not from the ancient martial arts world, they will not lose anything.
Why are these two people so cautious?
Something is wrong!
Could it be related to the sudden lockdown of the city?
If that was the case, there must be something seriously wrong with these two people, so he couldn't let them go easily.
"Meeting is destiny. Why don't you two follow me into the city and visit my home?"
Hua Yuqi was thinking in her mind how to keep the two of them without making a fuss.
Luo Jiuyan and Xiao Qingran looked at Hua Yuqi as if she were an idiot.
He had said before that he would take them into the city and have someone monitor them.
Now he wants them to be his guests.
Only a fool would not see that there is something wrong with this change in attitude.
"No need."
Luo Jiuyan's expression turned cold. The murderous intent that had been hidden in his eyes slowly surfaced again.
"What? Hua was kind enough to give you two a ride, and it's fine if you're ungrateful, but you won't even agree to such a small request? Are you being disrespectful to Hua?"
Hua Yuqi's narrow eyes darkened. A sneer of contempt played on the corner of her mouth. "Who gave you the courage to refuse this invitation from the Young City Lord?"
He thought that after revealing his identity, the couple in front of him would be wary. However, they remained indifferent, as if they were dismissive of him.
This made Hua Yuqi extremely angry.
Not only did they not give him face, but after knowing his identity, they also treated him coldly.
These two people dared to ignore him like this. Once they reached the city gate, he would definitely not let them go.
No matter who these two people are, he will catch them and teach them a lesson.
Neither side spoke again, and the carriage was dead silent.
Outside the carriage, Lao Qi drove the carriage more and more bumpy.
Xiao Qingran actually enjoyed this familiar feeling. Although he was swaying around in the car, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, nor did he suffer from motion sickness.
After more than half an hour, the carriage stopped.
I only heard Lao Qi, who was driving the carriage outside, shouting, "Master, we've reached the city gate."
Hua Yuqi, who was originally dozing off in the back seat, suddenly opened her eyes.
Luo Jiuyan and Xiao Qingran waited for the carriage to stop, then immediately lifted the curtain and jumped down.
Seeing this, Hua Yuqi's eyes became fierce.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he shouted towards the city gate: "I am your young city lord. Send some men immediately to capture these two spies."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiuyan and Xiao Qingran's eyes were as sharp as knives, shooting straight at Hua Yuqi.
"You want to die, don't you?"
Luo Jiuyan raised his hand slightly.
Xiao Qingran quietly held Luo Jiuyan's hand, shook her head at him and blinked.
Luo Jiuyan raised his eyebrows, and the fire between his fingers went out.
They had just arrived in the ancient martial arts world, and this man was the young city lord. There was no need for them to kill anyone at the city gate.
Xiao Qingran has plenty of ways to escape safely.
Someone on the city wall recognized Hua Yuqi, and immediately four men dressed as soldiers ran over with swords in their hands.
When they got closer, the four of them immediately saluted Hua Yuqi respectfully.
Hua Yuqi pointed at Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan, and was about to order a few people to capture the two.
Suddenly, he felt a slight pain in his brain. The next moment, he said uncontrollably, "These two are my friends. Immediately give them the maps of the nearby cities."
The four soldiers were surprised for a moment, then immediately replied, "Yes." One of them immediately ran back.
In just a few minutes, the map was brought over.
Luo Jiuyan thanked Hua Yuqi and left the city gate with Xiao Qingran.
When the two walked away and could no longer be seen, Hua Yuqi suddenly woke up, her eyes filled with fear.
He was so scared that he immediately jumped into the carriage and urged Lao Qi to go into the city quickly.
As for the four soldiers guarding the gate, he didn't even want to look at them again.
After Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan got the map, they found a deserted place to study it.
"This is Anping City, and the next one is Nanlin City. The two cities are only 20 or 30 miles apart. I can't get into the city, and I can't rent a carriage. I don't know how long it will take to walk there. How great it would be if I had a bicycle!"
Xiao Qingran couldn't help but sigh: "After living in the secular world for a long time, coming to the ancient martial arts world, I suddenly feel particularly inconvenienced."
Luo Jiuyan smiled slightly.
Xiao Qingran only felt that there was suddenly something in front of him.
Looking closely, it turned out to be an electric bicycle.
She couldn't help but feel happy: "A car like this can be put into the storage space, it's so convenient."
Luo Jiuyan turned around and rode on the bike, pointing to the back seat: "Hurry up and get on, we're going to Nanlin City from the small road."
The mountain road is full of potholes and is very rugged.
However, Luo Jiuyan rode very steadily, so there was no need to worry about driving into a ditch.
In less than half an hour, we saw the gate of Nanlin City.
Like Anping City, the gates of Nanlin City were also closed.
Luo Jiuyan put the electric bike back into the storage space, took out a bun from it, and found a beggar squatting outside the city gate.
"Do you know why Nanlin City is closed? If you answer well, this meat bun will be yours."
The young beggar was dressed in rags and had hidden himself in a pile of weeds to avoid the cold. Seeing the buns in Luo Jiuyan's hand, his eyes lit up, his mouth drooling, and he reached out to grab them.
Luo Jiuyan withdrew his hand and looked at him fiercely.
"I heard from other beggars passing by that the eldest daughter of the Heike family has gone missing in Jindu City. Now every city is on lockdown to search for her."
