1074. Chapter 1074 The Origin of the Nine Meridians Acupuncture 5
"Grandpa, I'm talking to Brother Mu Yi." Tang Yu muttered dissatisfied.
"Cough...cough...Grandpa really raised your granddaughter for nothing. I am such a pitiful old man." Tang Sheng sighed.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? I'm just giving you a squeeze on your shoulders. I'm coming right now." Tang Yu rolled his eyes and retracted his head into the carriage.
"Oh... be gentle... be gentle, my old bones are about to fall apart under your torsion."
Mu Bai suddenly heard Tang Sheng's tormenting screams, a smile appeared on his lips, he shook his head, and urged the carriage to speed up towards the imperial city.
…
When the carriage drove three miles away from the imperial city.
A checkpoint suddenly appeared on the trail ahead, where about a battalion of soldiers were responsible for checking people entering the imperial city.
Mu Bai looked carefully and saw that these soldiers were uniformly dressed in fine iron black armor, holding spears in their hands, and had cold expressions. They did not look like soldiers of the Royal Legion.
"Which legion of soldiers are these?" Mu Bai was confused for a while.
The carriage drove to the checkpoint and was stopped by a group of soldiers.
"What's going on?"
Tang Sheng leaned half of his body out of the carriage and looked at Mu Bai in front of him and asked.
Mu Bai said: "It's okay, just checking."
"Who are the people in the car?" a captain asked Mubai coldly.
Mu Bai smiled, turned to Tang Sheng and said, "Senior, you should explain it yourself."
Tang Sheng impatiently took out an edict from his sleeve, gently threw it into the captain's hand and said: "I am a doctor who has received the emperor's order and entered the palace to treat your majesty's illness."
The soldier opened the scroll in his hand, glanced at it, and found nothing wrong. He returned the edict to Tang Sheng and said to the pair of soldiers behind him: "Remove the roadblock and let them enter the city."
"Yes." A dozen soldiers immediately pushed the blocking wooden stakes to the side of the road, and let Mubai drive the carriage over.
Mu Bai secretly speculated that if these soldiers blocking the road were not from the Royal Legion, then there was only one possibility that they were the First Prince's men.
Ordinary nobles cannot bring their own private guards into the territory of the imperial city. Only the eldest prince can have this right and have military power under his men.
