Fast travel: The host is too crazy to shoot, the system can't stop it

Chapter 96 Ancient (24) Miscalculation

The people under Yanjin acted extremely quickly, from the death of Xue Jiagui to the imprisonment of dozens of members of Xue's family, the whole process did not take more than a few hours.

The Xue family moved to the capital after successfully seizing the throne in Yanjin. Now it is very convenient to raid their homes.

The blood on the slate had been washed clean, Yan Jin was sitting on top of the main hall, with his hands on his forehead, thinking about something.

Yanjin actually knew that he shouldn't have killed Xue Jiagui so early, but he was a little impulsive just now. He didn't like anyone to be disobedient, especially in his current position.

But... In retrospect, Xue Jiagui's state is really not normal. Based on Yanjin's understanding of him, Xue Jiagui should not be so bold.

"Has Xue Jiagui done anything unusual recently?" Yan Jin asked the guard next to him with a sideways glance.

At present, almost all the officials in the capital are under the supervision of Yanjin, the original intention is to prevent collusion with the third prince, and Xue Jiagui is naturally among them.

Jin Wei reported truthfully, "Back to the emperor, there is nothing unusual, but I have been going to Mingyue Tower frequently for the past half month, probably for some business."

Xue Jiagui is a businessman, so going to Mingyue Tower to discuss business is not an unusual move.

Yan Jin frowned slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

It's just that a young prisoner at the side suddenly mentioned: "I heard that Xue Yuanwai went to find Mr. Mu Xin recently and asked him to write a copybook."

This young supervisor is the deputy who came along with the main supervisor, who happens to be fond of calligraphy and painting, so he naturally knows the well-known young master Mu Xin.

The young prisoner didn't mean to say these words, but it frightened the chief prisoner who brought him here, he hurriedly dragged everyone to kneel down, begging for sin: "The emperor atones for his sins! It's the inappropriate discipline of the lowly position that offended the emperor!"

You must know that a companion is like a tiger, and Yanjin is inherently cloudy and uncertain. At this moment, he will answer whoever asks, how can he intervene!This young prisoner is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, how dare he just talk about it in such a self-centered manner, don't you think so? !
Although the young prisoner's move was offensive, it seemed that he had important information. Looking at the two trembling people, Yan Jin asked in a deep voice, "Go on, what is Mr. Mu Xin?"

The young eunuch did not dare to neglect and immediately told Yanjin everything he knew.

Yan Jin's fingers hit the table again and again, the voice was not high, but everyone was terrified...

Finally, Yanjin stopped his movements and decisively issued an order: "Starting from tomorrow, the gates of the capital city will be partially opened. All persons entering and exiting will be subject to strict inspection, and then I will send people to secretly search for this Mr. Mu Xin. He must be alive!"

The attendant took the order and was ready to do it immediately, but Yan Jin stopped him again and ordered: "Go and find the copybook written by Mr. Mu Xin to Xue Jiagui, and send it directly after you find it."

Yan Nanxu has already packed up and left Mingyue Tower, but the capital enforces a curfew as soon as night falls, so they can't leave tonight, so they can only temporarily spend the night in an inn in the capital.

In the early morning of the second day, the servants who went out to investigate reported that the gates of the city were closed again, and all people entering and leaving were subject to strict inspections, saying that they were going to search for rebels.

This result was not particularly surprising to Yan Nanxu. Yanjin was very vigilant and originally wanted to see if he could get out as soon as possible before he could react. But now it seemed that he should not be underestimated.

But Yan Nanxu also has countermeasures.

According to the plan, everyone was divided into three teams, one of which consisted of three relatively strong attendants, while Cao Yushi and Yan Nanxu each formed two teams with a child servant.

Basically don't bring things with you, destroy them on the spot, and keep everything simple.

The attendant bought three horses with strong tempers at a high price, and prepared the carriage to temporarily stop near the city gate.

The next step is to wait for an opportunity.

The gate of the capital city is very large, even though there is an endless stream of people coming and going, they can still be checked in an orderly manner, except for one time──
When the army comes in and goes out.

The frontier war is about to start, and Yanjin will inevitably mobilize a large number of troops. He currently has a weak foundation and is limited in what he can mobilize. The army in the capital is strong and is the best choice. He must mobilize some of them to the border.

It is impossible to keep the people behind closed doors when the army comes in and out, so the gates of the city are easily blocked at this time, and it is inconvenient to manage when the army and the people meet.

Yan Nanxu found this opportunity, and he knew that the war was urgent and the troops from the capital would definitely leave within the next few days.

So everything is ready only owes Dongfeng.

Sure enough, on the second day after the city gate was closed, the army left the capital in a line. The crowds around the city gate were very crowded with the spectators and the crowd.

Yan Nanxu wore a cloak and a hood, trying to hide his face as much as possible. He stood in the corner with his servants and waited quietly. There were many tourists from all over the capital, so it was not surprising that they were dressed like this.

Cao Yushi and he acted separately. Before coming out, Cao Yushi was a little worried and expressed his hope to follow Yan Nanxu. However, this would be too big a goal and was rejected by Yan Nanxu.

Another group of three attendants led the carriage to a place one street away from the city gate, and then left.There was a lot of people, and the horse was already a little restless.

Suddenly, two big gongs flew out from the nearby teahouse and hit the ground fiercely. The huge sound instantly startled everyone, and the horse was even more frightened. It neighed instantly and rushed forward instinctively. go!

The three horses are all pulling the cart. In fact, the carriage has greatly reduced the speed of the horses, but it also makes the horses rampage spread wider. For a while, the whole street is full of chickens and dogs, and pedestrians are hiding XZ. confusion!
The three carriages rushed straight to the gate of the city, and the crowds became more and more crowded as they got to the gate. The three horses were domesticated and knew to hide from people subconsciously, but there were too many people, so they hid from the left and right and came again.

The horse neighed and jumped up. When people saw it, they thought that the fierce horse had gone mad and was trying to run away. However, there were troops and crowds near the city gate. There was nowhere to escape, and everyone could only rush forward. Run out of town!

The noisy hoofbeats, the neighing of horses, and the shouts of people were all mixed together, making it a mess!
Countless people poured out of the city gate, and the guards couldn't even shout. The three carriages even scattered the army a little, and they couldn't stop people at all.

Right now──
Yan Nanxu and the servant boy immediately walked out of the dark, blended into the crowd quietly, and followed the crowd out of the city.

Yan Nanxu couldn't run too fast, but fortunately the boy servant supported him and he could barely keep up with the flow of people. Seeing the city gate exit right in front, suddenly, a sharp arrow flew out from nowhere, slanting Plunge into the ground at Yan Nanxu's feet!

There was a sudden change, and the boy servant screamed in fright. Yan Nanxu looked sideways subconsciously, and saw a person sitting on horseback in the distance, still maintaining the posture of shooting an arrow just now, looking over coldly...

To be honest, the distance was a bit far, and it was impossible to see his face clearly, but the man's attire was so recognizable—it was Yan Jin.

Yan Nanxu didn't expect to see him!

There is no reason that Yanjin would come to the city gate to inspect the situation in person, and this riot has just begun. Even if someone went to the palace to report it immediately, Yanjin would never be able to arrive so quickly!
And the most important point—how did Yan Jin find himself so quickly in such a chaotic crowd? !
Yan Jin looked at the chaotic crowd with cold eyes, waved his hand and only gave an order to the guards behind him: "Catch that man."

More than a dozen guards immediately took orders, rode directly into the crowd, and ran towards Yan Nanxu quickly.

The exit of the city gate was just around the corner, but Yan Nanxu had already been targeted, and he couldn't escape even if he ran out the door, and he couldn't run too fast himself.

So without hesitation, Yan Nanxu gave up going out of the city, pushed the boy servant away and let him run out alone, while he changed direction and ran towards the residential area west of the city gate.

The main target of those people is themselves. The boy servant is thin and fast, so he can easily blend into the crowd. Instead of following Yan Nanxu, he can escape.

The houses to the west of the city gate are so dense that they almost form a wall, but there is a narrow alley in the hidden area, which can only be passed by one person sideways. Yan Nanxu quickly passed through the alley, and the chasing guards were stopped outside.

The guard was stunned for a moment, and was about to get off his horse to chase after him, but Yan Jin came here to stop them, looked at the position, turned his horse's head and galloped into another street──
Yanjin had already memorized the map of the capital, and he could tell where that alley led at a glance, and that person couldn't escape!
