C68 (2/2)

Without waiting for Luo Lingwei's response, Zhao Wei said a third rule, ”Since the envoy has never left the capital, and the journey this time is very dangerous, we have already disguised ourselves, so I hope that the envoy can suffer for a while. During this time, we will listen to our subordinate's arrangements, and when the envoy reaches the border safely, we will request the envoy to punish our subordinate for the crime of transgression.”

Luo Lingwei was at a loss for words. Since Zhao Wei had already said this, she could not say anything else. She could only let him arrange things.

That evening, the group of people rode on the carriage and left before the city gates were closed. Not long after they had left, the guard heard the sound of horse hooves. He turned around and saw Lu Pingliang rushing to the city gate with his men.

”Did someone just leave the city?” Lu Pingliang asked anxiously.

”Sir, someone has indeed left the city just now.” The guard by the side cupped his hands and replied.

”Master Lu, you don't need to care about what happens next. We will part ways here.” The leader, a big man, saluted to Lu Pingliang and led them to the gate of the city.

The guard was someone with eyes as well, so he hurriedly opened the city gate for them, and they galloped away on their horses.

On the other side, Luo Lingwei's group was taking two boxes of jewelry. The group had a lot of people, and the sky was starting to darken, so they were walking very slowly.

In the Ming Lin Province, the remaining people were given a good horse. They were all elite soldiers of the Imperial Guards, and they were trained in horse stance and marching, so if they had a horse, they would be able to fight back when the enemy attacked.

Earlier, Zhao Wei had sent out two people to scout the area, and the two people reported that they found an abandoned temple in front of them. Zhao Wei decided to spend the night in that dilapidated temple.

The group of people hurried on, and after another quarter-hour, they finally arrived at the dilapidated temple.

After arriving at the temple, Luo Lingwei and Little Qing waited for these rough men to clean up the temple before going in to rest. The group had already been assigned their turns. At this moment, Zhao Wei was looking at the map and figuring out how to get to the border quickly.

At this moment, Zhao Wei heard the slight sound of hooves coming from the wind. His heart skipped a beat and he knew something was going to happen.

”Quick!” Extinguish the fire! ”Prepare to defend!”
