"This is--"
The suspicion that King Nan of Yan had previously suspected was finally confirmed.
"Are you planning on leaving town just like this?"
"yes!"
Ye Yunfeng quickly tied the mourning belt on his head, which matched with the linen clothes on his body, and it really looked like he had that meaning.
He lifted the curtain, looked outside, and sat down again.
"You forgot that there was a fire in the city the day before yesterday, and several people died. The city had been sealed off before, and even the funerals could not be properly handled. Now that the city gates are open today, we should let the deceased rest in peace. What do you think?"
King Yannan understood and his face was full of disbelief.
"You, you mean..."
Da da da!
Suddenly, a sound of orderly and eager footsteps was heard! It was particularly harsh in this quiet morning!
Ye Yunfeng curled the corners of his lips.
"It seems that they really can't hold back any longer and have begun to intensify patrols."
After a whole night passed, nothing unusual happened in the city. He knew that the Southern Hu people were more afraid of the news of King Nan of Yan being missing being exposed than he was.
But they were unwilling to sit and wait for death, so they finally sent people out to search early in the morning.
A few days ago, these people were not so "diligent".
King Yannan frowned.
Of course he guessed that those people were coming for him!
As the footsteps got closer, his heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something!
Ye Yunfeng patted his companion on the shoulder and motioned him to come in and change clothes.
The noise quickly attracted the attention of the patrolling group.
"Hey! Over there! What are you doing?!"
The scolding was rude.
King Yan Nan held his breath and his whole body was tense to the extreme.
Those people didn't hear any response and just walked towards this side.
"Hey! I'm talking to you guys! Come out now!"
The sound was getting closer and closer. Just one turn and you could see it—
"Walk!"
Ye Yunfeng whispered and jumped off the carriage first!
After him, his companions, who had just packed their hemp clothes and mourning belts, followed closely down.
"you--"
King Yannan opened his mouth but swallowed his words and immediately followed them.
At the same time, he bent his legs slightly and made an attacking posture.
If something went wrong, he would never let Ye Yunfeng and the others down——
Sudden!
A loud and sad suona sound came from behind!
King Yannan's heart skipped a beat and he turned back subconsciously, and was immediately shocked.
But in the blink of an eye, several figures ran out from all over the streets!
They were all dressed in mourning like he and Ye Yunfeng at that moment, and some even carried out a coffin!
At the moment when the suona sounded, the horse, which had been lying quietly, moved its ears, turned around tactfully, and turned into an inconspicuous side door, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At first glance, there was only a funeral procession in the streets.
King Nan of Yan was confused.
This, this——
He subconsciously looked at Ye Yunfeng, wanting to ask him what was going on, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Ye Yunfeng's quick eyes and hands, directly picking up the white flag!
Crash——!
White paper money was flying all over the sky, and the mournful suona music made people feel sad.
The person in charge of patrolling rushed over and saw this scene.
The group of people were stunned. They really didn't expect to encounter such a thing so early in the morning.
"Bah! What bad luck!"
One person couldn't help but complain.
The leader frowned, then relaxed and waved his hand impatiently, signaling them to leave quickly.
The low sobbing and whimpering made them even more upset.
King Yannan lowered his eyes when he saw them for the first time. Fortunately, he had changed his clothes and appearance beforehand, so unless someone familiar stood in front of him and looked carefully, he would not be able to recognize them easily.
In this way, he smoothly integrated into the "funeral" team, lowered his head and followed the crowd forward.
At this point, he finally understood what Ye Yunfeng meant by "well prepared"!
These people were obviously the soldiers who had sneaked into Longcheng with him. They had been waiting here early, and as soon as the time came, they would rush out to provide cover!
I have to say, this method is really amazing. Not only can you leave the city openly, but you can also minimize the inspections by these people!
After all, in this situation, no one wants to step forward and take a closer look.
It really is...
King Yan Nan could not help but look up and glanced at Ye Yunfeng, who was walking in the front, immersed in waving the banner and performing with all his heart. He even seemed to hear a faint cry in his voice.
"Brother! Have a safe journey—!"
King Yannan: “…”
He is now really curious. What kind of environment can produce such a boy?
Not only is he skilled in martial arts and quick-witted, he's also full of ideas!
If he had the chance, he really wanted to meet the "sister" that Ye Yunfeng praised so highly.
However, just as this thought flashed through his mind and the two teams were about to pass each other, a cold shout suddenly came.
"stop!"
King Yannan's heart skipped a beat, but he still stood still with the team.
Ye Yunfeng looked back, with a trace of confusion and puzzlement on his haggard face.
"Is there something wrong, sir?"
The leading man narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Are you going to leave the city!?"
Ye Yunfeng nodded in astonishment, "Yes, yes..."
He looked towards the north gate that was already wide open.
"My eldest brother was unlucky. He was burned to death in a fire the other day! We thought about taking good care of his funeral, sending him out of the city, and burying him with our parents..."
"Yeah?"
The man looked suspicious.
The city gates had been closed for a long time, and many people in the city did want to go out to do business, but this was too hasty.
especially……
His eyes swept across everyone and finally landed on the coffin.
"You, go open the coffin!"
King Yannan's eyebrows jumped when he was suddenly pointed at.
He quickly looked at the other person, then lowered his eyes, "...Yes."
Everyone looked over and the atmosphere became solemn.
King Yannan was very close to the coffin. He could reach it by just turning around and taking two steps.
But he took these two steps very heavily.
As he walked, all kinds of speculations emerged in his mind.
Once the coffin is opened, these people will never let them go if they find out there is something fishy inside!
By then, a head-on confrontation will be inevitable.
The number of people on both sides is not much different, but the other side is carrying weapons!
Moreover, this is their territory and not far from the city gate. Once a fight breaks out, it will inevitably attract a lot of people quickly.
Then it will be troublesome...
If he hadn't been poisoned, he might have fought to the death and ensured that Ye Yunfeng and the others could leave successfully, but now he was no different from a useless person. I was afraid...
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!" a guard couldn't help but yell and urge.
King Yannan had a dry throat.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and the coffin had to be opened!
He took a deep breath and slowly pushed his palms open——
Ye Yunfeng suddenly pushed the crowd away and rushed over, choking with sobs!
"Brother——!" (End of this chapter)
