The best ring

"Sir, can we do this?" Luo Yue asked Wu Fandao in a low voice inside the carriage.

Wu Fan glanced at the old man next to him and gave Luo Yue a reassuring look, but in fact, Wu Fan was unsure.

"Little girl, don't be afraid, nothing will happen. I still have some respect in Pingbao City." The old man looked at Luo Yue with a smile on his face.

Luo Yue was slightly embarrassed.

Several people were riding in a carriage at this time. The owner of this carriage was the old man who took Wu Fan and the others in last night. After hearing the "dilemma" of Wu Fan and the others, he offered to help, and he helped. The solution is very simple, that is, let Wu Fan and others ride in his carriage and follow him out of the city.

According to the old man, his son had served in the city defense army of Pingbao City before and had some influence. The carriage he was riding in would not be searched by the soldiers at the city gate.

Naturally, Wu Fan and others couldn't completely believe the old man just because of his words. After all, they didn't know much about the old man and his son.

However, what the old man said was right. They could not hide in the city forever. They had to find a way to get out of the city. Especially Wu Fan and the others knew clearly that their enemy was not a certain young master in Pingbao City. But the city lord of Xingping City is the emperor of Nanping Kingdom. If they remain trapped in Pingbao City, there is no guarantee that the other party will not send more troops. When the time comes, the longer the delay, the more dangerous their situation will be.

Therefore, it is better to leave the city early.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Fan decided to trust the old man and followed his carriage out of the city.

Of course, Wu Fan was also prepared to fail in his "smuggling". If that happened, he would use the summoning token to create a commotion at the city gate. Taking advantage of the commotion, they might be able to get rid of the enemy's entanglement.

The carriage arrived at the city gate amidst the anxiety of several people.

Several people could see through the gap in the carriage door curtain that there were soldiers at the city gate checking people leaving the city. Not far from the soldiers, there was a group of many men in well-dressed clothes. Their eyes were He stared sharply at the passers-by, his eyes constantly sizing them up.

These men in fancy attire were the pursuers coming from Xingping City. BIqupai.c0m

"Stop!"

The carriage arrived at the city gate and was stopped as expected.

Wu Fan and the others looked at each other, holding their breath and concentrating, their nerves tense, ready to fight at any time.

The old man gave Wu Fan and others a reassuring look, then opened the door curtain a little, revealing half of his body, and asked the soldiers who came over for interrogation: "What's wrong? Why did you stop my carriage?"

"It turns out to be Old Mrs. Chen. I've met Old Mrs. Chen." The captain, who had looked stern just now, immediately changed his attitude when he saw the old man. He saluted with a humble face. Several other soldiers who followed him also saluted. , expression of respect.

"Yes." The old man nodded reservedly and said, "Why did you stop my carriage?"

"Back to Mrs. Chen, Xingping City said that some big thieves have escaped to our Pingbao City, and they want us to help investigate and arrest the big thieves." The leader of the school captain said.

"Thief? Do you think there is a thief hiding in my car?" The old man's expression changed slightly and he said, "In that case, come up and check."

Wu Fan and others in the carriage looked even more nervous. Wu Ya, Luo Yue and Luo Yang had even tightened their weapons. Once the soldiers came to search, they would take action immediately.

"Old Mrs. Chen is joking. How could we suspect that there is a thief hiding in Old Mrs. Chen's carriage? It's all a misunderstanding. I didn't know it was Old Mrs. Chen's carriage before. I'm so offended. I hope that Old Mrs. Chen will forgive me." The captain apologized quickly.

After speaking, he stepped aside and said to the soldiers behind him: "Get out of the way and let the carriage pass."

The old man nodded with satisfaction and prepared to sit back in the carriage.

"Wait! You can't let go!"

At this moment, a few of the men in strong suits came over. The rest did not come over, but they all looked here.

"All carriages and people leaving the city must be interrogated, and this carriage must be searched." The middle-aged man who was the leader of the well-dressed men said with a stern look.

"Who are you?" The old man asked again.

"We are the guards of the Lord's Mansion of Xingping City, and we have been ordered to catch the thief." The middle-aged man in charge said solemnly.

"Isn't it the responsibility of the government officials to catch the robbers? When did this kind of thing need to be carried out by the guards of the city lord's palace?" The old man said calmly.

"This... the arrest of the big thieves is naturally the responsibility of the Yamen. However, those thieves were extremely cruel and murderous. The Lord of the City was afraid that the Yamen servants would not be able to cope with it, so he sent us to assist." The middle-aged man humane.

"The security in Xingping City is so bad? Are the government officials so useless?" the old man couldn't help but said with disdain.

"This is just an accident. Under the governance of the city lord Zhao, our Xingping City has never picked up items on the road and never closed its doors at night." The middle-aged man said.

"I don't care if your Xingping City is really that good, but this is Pingbao City, not Xingping City. It's not your Xingping City's turn to decide on Pingbao City's affairs." The old man said in a deep voice, and then he He looked at the former captain again and said, "Do you want to search or release? Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

"Let it go, let it go immediately!" the chief captain said.

"You can't let it go! This carriage must be checked!" insisted the middle-aged man in a well-dressed suit.

"Master Liu! This is Pingbao City, not your Xingping City. The city lord has asked us to be responsible for the investigation. You can only watch from the side. Your consent is not required for this matter, and it is not up to you to make the decision." The first captain looked at it visually. The well-dressed middle-aged man did not give in at all: "I am responsible for this city gate. I will let you go if I say!"

"No!" The well-dressed middle-aged man also insisted. Zhao Qiushan had told him that the third princess and others must not be allowed to escape. Therefore, during the interrogation, no one or any carriage could be let go.

The two sides refused to give in to each other, and the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.

"You'd better come up and search, don't make the two cities unhappy because of me." The old man said.

"No!" the leading captain said firmly: "You are the father of General Chen, and General Chen was our former commander-in-chief. Searching your carriage would be an insult to our entire city defense force!"

At this point, the soldier shouted: "Come here!"

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers at the city gate intersection rushed over and stood next to the captain to confront the men in costumes.

"Let's go! If anyone blocks it, hit me!" the leading soldier said loudly.

"Yes!" All the soldiers who arrived shouted at the same time.
