Jin Bai and other leaders held a military meeting within the Xiaoyao Sect. He Lingchuan and the others felt inconvenienced, so they returned to the country of Wei, but unexpectedly the border had been closed.
This was not a problem for them, so Dong Rui released the snail toad and easily climbed over it from the ground.
It had just rained recently and the ground was very wet. If anything happened to harm them, the two of them could escape.
The Kingdom of Wei guards the southwest gate of the Shining Gold Plains. When He Lingchuan came here, it was just his first time entering the plains. There was still a vast land waiting for him to explore.
The road to Xuncheng is even more difficult to walk.
There were sparse villages in the wilderness and dense grass in the wilderness. Dong Rui went to relieve himself in the wilderness, but before he could squat down, he kicked out two skulls from the grass.
He Lingchuan had only walked seventy or eighty miles when he encountered three groups of robbers and four pickpockets. This frequency was much higher than that of Hongya Road and Longchuan Commercial Road.
They also rescued two civilians from the knife of the robbers.
This is probably because Nangong Yan died suddenly outside the pass, and there was a lot of turmoil everywhere, and the local government troops had no intention of maintaining order.
However, there was a strange atmosphere permeating the town. The officers and soldiers coming and going seemed very nervous, but the civilians were a little relaxed. As He Lingchuan passed by the river, a gust of wind blew, and he heard two women beating clothes and talking to each other with smiles:
"...a good death."
"Yes, that is really a born evil spirit. My brother-in-law was killed by his men. Hey, I didn't expect that he would also end up like that! Cut in half, oh oh oh, I don't know which hero did it. It's really satisfying.
Even my man wants to give him a card!"
As He Lingchuan approached, the women fell silent and just immersed themselves in washing, but their faces remained lively.
This kind of atmosphere becomes more relaxed the further you go to Xuncheng. In the town's wine shops, people are smiling. Although they dare not openly discuss Nangong Yan's death, they look much more comfortable.
However, after arriving at Xuncheng, He Lingchuan found that the city gates had become increasingly strict.
There is also a reward notice posted on the city gate, accompanied by a portrait.
When Dong Rui saw the familiar Biao Hong, he thought that He Lingchuan and himself were wanted again. After all, Nangong Yan died in their hands.
But when he took a closer look, he saw that the portrait was actually a woman!
"Huh?" He was shocked, "That's not it, that's not...how did she become a wanted criminal?"
The announcement stated that this woman had attempted to murder a relative of the royal family and was absconding in fear of crime. Witnesses who provided clues would receive fifty taels of gold; those who reported the matter in person would receive five hundred taels of gold.
This reward number was unusual, so a large number of people crowded in front of the notice to watch the excitement, and there was a buzz and discussion everywhere.
The female fugitive in the portrait has a beautiful appearance, which is good in terms of painting skills, but it cannot depict one percent of her beauty.
Because this fugitive is actually Concubine Mei!
He Lingchuan also scratched his head.
When he and Dong Rui entered the palace as envoys, Concubine Mei was by King Fan's side, looking very favored.
It had only been a few days, how could a dignified princess become a fugitive?
