Chapter 220 Intercepting the Caravan

Yuan Buluqi felt that he understood the situation in Yue State and the Second Prince better.

The Second Prince was vindictive and liked to root out the evil.

His survival was a threat to the Second Prince.

Based on the Second Prince's character, he would definitely want to get rid of him.

He was going back to Yue State, and the Second Prince must be eager for him to go back.

In addition, the generals of the garrison were his brother's men.

He was able to successfully leave Yue State thanks to their help.

This time he came back and wanted to enter Yue State, Yuan Buluqi believed that General He Wei would definitely let him in.

Yuan Buluqi felt that he should continue on his way instead of wasting time here.

Xia Rongyu did not agree with Yuan Buluqi's opinion.

"Prince Buluqi, you are too impatient now. I think we should find out the situation in Yue before making a decision."

Yuan Buluqi frowned: "You don't believe me?"

The two looked at each other, one was firm and the other was calm.

Xia Rongyu saw that Yuan Buluqi was determined to hurry up, so he threw two questions.

"How can you be sure that the situation in Yue has not changed after you left for more than a month?"

"And how can you be sure that the generals guarding the border now are still your brother, the crown prince."

The second prince was not a fool.

After taking office, the first thing he did was to replace all the crown prince's original subordinates with his own people.

He could understand Yuan Buluqi's desire for revenge, but he would not risk the lives of his men to accompany Yuan Buluqi in trial and error.

Xia Rongyu's questioning made Yuan Buluqi very unhappy.

He explained.

"I have asked many passers-by along the way, and they all said that there is no one guarding the border of Yue State."

"If the second prince is on guard against us, how could there be no one here!"

The border of Yue State is the most defensible terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It

is surrounded by mountains and connected to the sea. Guanmen is their only way to enter Yue State.

If the second prince wants to defend, he only needs to send people to guard the border, and they will not be able to enter Yue State.

He believes that since the second prince did not send people to guard the border, he hopes he will go back.

Only if he hands over the treasure left by his father and then kills him, can the second prince's throne be completely secure.

Xia Rongyu raised a question: "What if the second prince issued a killing order!"

The killing order means that as long as Yuan Buluqi is discovered, the soldiers can chop off his head.

Yuan Buluqi thought it was impossible.

"He hasn't got the thing in my hand yet, how could he kill me now."

All he relies on is the treasure.

He knows that the second prince wants it, and Tianxuanmen also wants it.

When his mother was imprisoned, the second prince did not dare to do anything, just to get that thing.

He believes that the second prince will not give up.

Xia Rongyu and Yuan Buluqi have different opinions.

He insisted on finding out clearly.

Yuan Bruqi looked at the setting sun. If he were to send someone to inquire at this time , he

might not be able to reach Yue State today.

If he returned one day later, his friend would be in danger for one more day.

Qiao Niannian spoke at this time.

"Prince Bruqi, a caravan will pass by here soon. You might as well go up and ask about the situation."

Yuan Bruqi listened to Qiao Niannian's words and looked in the direction of the gate.

There was endless yellow earth and flying sand, and there was no sign of a person.

Now that Yue State was closed, how could it be possible that they would let him pass.

Although he admired Qiao Niannian's ability, this time, he felt that Qiao Niannian had guessed wrong.

Qiao Niannian didn't say much, and she and Xia Rongyu lit a fire and prepared to cook.

Centipede has great confidence in Qiao Niannian's ability, he has experienced it personally.

Master Qiao's words will come true in the end.

When he came back from picking up firewood, he patted Yuan Buluqi on the shoulder.

"Master Qiao said someone will come, so someone will definitely come. Just wait!"

After that, he continued to pick up some dead branches to burn.

Yuan Buluqi was suspicious.

He and Qiao Niannian did not have much contact, he admitted that Qiao Niannian was very powerful.

Even the Tianxuan Sect was not Qiao Niannian's opponent.

But is there really someone who can foresee to this extent?

Can everything be counted?

Yuan Buluqi stood on the side of the road, watching the yellow earth flying, at this moment, he felt like a fool.

After waiting patiently for a while, there was still no sign of a person, let alone a caravan.

Yuan Buluqi turned around and planned to leave.

He saw a group of people driving a carriage towards him at the end of the road.

At this moment, Yuan Buluqi's heart was extremely shaken.

Qiao Niannian's calculations were so accurate.

Even the passers-by could be calculated, which was too amazing.

Yuan Buluqi's admiration for Qiao Niannian deepened a little.

When he saw the people coming, he immediately stepped forward, stood in the middle of the road, and stopped the caravan.

This caravan was from the Great Xia Dynasty, and came to the Kingdom of Yue to do business.

In the early years, several countries signed a treaty that allowed caravans to travel with each other.

They were in the jewelry business. Yue was close to the sea, and the pearls here were better than those of the Great Xia Dynasty. They came to buy goods.

As a result, they encountered unrest in Yue.

People outside Yue were directly expelled from Yue within two days.

He and his business partners went to see the pearls, but they were in a remote place and did not get any news.

After returning, he wanted to leave, only to find out that he couldn't get out.

This almost scared him to death.

Fortunately, his business partner used his connections to prove that he was a caravan from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Although the Kingdom of Yue was closed, it did not dare to force the people of the Great Xia Dynasty to stay in Yue.

After investigating their identities, they were allowed to pass. After

leaving Yue, the group ran like crazy, fearing that the other party would go back on their word.

As a result, halfway through the journey, they suddenly saw a man blocking the road, and the leader hurriedly tightened the reins.

Otherwise, the horse would have to step over the other person.

When the carriage stopped, the driver said unhappily: "You are looking for death!"

Yuan Buluqi knew that his behavior was not good, so he stepped forward, bowed deeply to everyone, and then apologized.

After the other party looked better, he started to ask.

"How many of you are from Yue?"

The caravan looked at Yuan Buluqi with a vigilant look: "Who are you? What's the matter?"

After saying that, he looked Yuan Buluqi up and down, and even looked around.

Yuan Buluqi knew the other party's concerns, so he made up a lie.

"I am from Yue, and I came out to travel. Some time ago, I heard that something happened in Yue. I was worried about my family, so I rushed back day and night." "

Now that we have arrived at the border, we find that there are no guards. I wonder what the current situation in Yue is?"

The man looked at Yuan Buluqi's dusty appearance, and he didn't look like he was lying, so he spoke.

"You want to go back now, but you probably can't."

"Now Yue State only allows people to leave but not enter."

"We came to Yue State to do business. We don't know much. We only know that the emperor of Yue State suddenly died, and the second prince ascended the throne, so they ordered the city gates to be closed."

"We tried our best to escape from Yue State."

"The reason why Yue State closed the city gates was to catch Prince Yuan Buluqi."
