Just as Ji Changchuan was about to ask what happened and why he was doing this, he saw Ji Changying whipping Yuanbao, who was resting, hard on the butt.
Yuanbao hissed and rushed out like a sharp arrow.
He stumbled and quickly grabbed the door frame beside him to steady himself.
The night watchman nearby heard the commotion and immediately chased after them with his sword drawn: "Stop, what are you doing?!"
Seeing the other person looking at them with suspicion and vigilance, Ji Changchuan suddenly had an idea and rushed out of the car and shouted to the front: "Someone! Someone is passing by! Stop!"
The night watchman heard this and shouted doubtfully, "Someone's here! Be alert!"
This shout immediately woke up everyone who was resting. They all stood up and rushed over as fast as they could. "What happened?"
The night watchman heard someone asking and immediately answered, "We were on guard when the Ji siblings suddenly drove off in their carriage. The boy shouted that someone was ahead and told us to stop!"
When the garrison heard this, their expressions froze: "Did you see who it was?"
The two people on night watch looked at each other and shook their heads: "No."
Upon seeing this, Wei Ying immediately mounted his horse and said, "There's absolutely nothing wrong with these two siblings. They belong to the Crown Prince and the Princess. If you don't believe me, feel free to investigate when you get back. I'll lead some men to catch up and help! Go!"
After Wei Ying finished speaking, the Red Sleeve Army immediately followed without hesitation.
The garrison watched them leave and looked at the leader: "We...?"
The leader gritted his teeth. Since both sides had come out together, it was not a good time to just give up. "Chase!"
——
Ji Changchuan sat on the shaft of the cart in a daze, his expression still blank, completely unaware of what his sister was doing.
After all, there was nothing in front of them except the pitch-black night sky, not even a scrap of a person's clothes.
Ji Changying apologized to Yuanbao in her heart while slapping his butt mercilessly: "Run faster, if you are caught up, all your work tonight will be in vain!"
"What happened?" Ji Changchuan looked at her in confusion.
"The barbarians from outside the pass are attacking Xinyang Pass. I heard it, do you believe me?"
Ji Changying looked solemn and didn't seem to be pretending.
Ji Changchuan’s first reaction was that it was impossible!
They were still about forty miles from Xinyang Pass, and at least fifty miles from the area outside the pass! What kind of ears could hear so far?
But looking at his sister's serious face and tense jaw, he suddenly couldn't say it.
After all, his sister never lies about serious matters.
"The checkpoint is already closed at this point. I'm afraid we won't be able to get through."
Ji Changchuan changed his words as he began to worry that even if they arrived at Xinyangguan, they would not be able to go in and inform them of the news.
"Let's do it first. Hesitation will lead to failure. Even if we can't enter Xinyangguan, it won't be a big loss for us. This consequence is completely acceptable."
Ji Changying responded without even thinking.
Ji Changchuan went over her words in his mind again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this made sense: "As long as the consequences are acceptable, just do it first... Hesitation... will lead to failure...?"
He put his hands to his mouth and made a trumpet shape: "Stop! People in front, stop right there!..."
Wei Ying behind didn't expect that the horse ridden by the Ji siblings could really run!
They followed behind with a carriage for a long time but couldn't catch up!
She would go back and ask where the horse came from, and she would also go and get one.
At this moment, he heard the person in front of him shout again, and he became even more anxious. He swung his whip under him and said, "Go!"
Ji Changying used her mental power to observe the surrounding situation while running. When she saw the defense line at the pass, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Caught up!
It was worth it that she swung her whip until it was about to smoke, but the barbarians outside the pass still hadn't arrived.
The condition of those infected with the epidemic was really serious. Basically, they had to stop and defecate after walking for a while, and they defecate all the way.
Ji Changying simply couldn't imagine the "scenery" on the road outside the Great Wall.
Ji Changchuan saw the city wall at the pass and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "We're here!"
But before I could be happy for two seconds, 'whoosh! ! '
Several arrows shot towards them. Ji Changying quickly tightened the reins and turned the horse's head. Yuanbao neighed and stood there snorting.
Ji Changchuan's expression changed, and he grabbed Ji Changying: "You treat us as enemies!"
Ji Changying didn't expect that the archer on the city wall at the pass had such good eyesight that he could shoot accurately at this side in the middle of the night. If she hadn't used her mental power to deflect the shot, the ingots would have been turned into a sieve!
She quickly drove the carriage backwards to indicate that she was not an enemy.
The people on the city wall saw them retreating and waved to the people behind them to stop.
Wei Ying caught up with Ji Changying and shouted, "Are you trying to kill yourself? If you move any further, you'll be shot like a hedgehog!"
She was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. If anything happened to the brother and sister, how would she explain herself when she returned?
Ji Changchuan's face was filled with guilt: "Sister Ying, we seem to have lost the person. I don't know why he disappeared when we got here."
Ji Changying also looked at her with an apologetic look on her face. "I was lying on the roof of the carriage when I suddenly saw three dark figures like ghosts passing through the branches and heading towards us. Without thinking, I quickly rode my horse to chase them. I could still see their shadows on the road, but when we got here, those shadows rushed forward and we were blocked by arrows and couldn't see them anymore."
Wei Ying looked at the two men speaking so coherently and looked at them with some suspicion: "Really?"
Ji Changying said solemnly: "The two sides are fighting. How can I joke about such a thing at such a sensitive time? What I am saying is..."
Suddenly her expression changed, "Sister Ying! Outside the pass! There are cavalry approaching outside the pass!"
Wei Ying looked at Ji Changying with no expression on his face.
Ji Changying moved her ears and explained anxiously, "You've heard the princess say that I have sharp ears, right? I really heard it, right here at the pass, facing southwest! I really heard the sound of over a thousand horse hooves! And...someone is having diarrhea!"
Wei Ying's expression really changed this time.
You must know that this time the foreign tribes united because of the epidemic, and they wanted to ask Dali for the prescriptions and medicinal materials for the epidemic, which was why they were making trouble out of nothing.
One of the symptoms of those infected with the epidemic is constant diarrhea!
Besides, she had indeed heard from the princess before that Ji Changying had very sharp ears, and that Ji's death was avoided several times on the way to exile because she could hear the movement in advance.
"Southwest? Are you sure?" Wei Ying couldn't help but sit up straight.
"I'm sure!"
"Do you know the consequences of lying about military intelligence? The lightest punishment is fifty military sticks. The most serious is death."
