"Miss Yang, once you leave the city gate, they can't catch you!"
After Shen Youwei took Yang Lingxuan out of the Yang Mansion, she found her horse, and the two rode towards the city gate together.
In the dark night, horses galloped, trying to get out of the city before Yang Lingxuan's people were no longer in the house.
This was Yang Lingxuan's first time riding a horse. She hugged Shen Youwei's waist tightly on the horse for fear of falling.
For a lady like Yang Lingxuan, riding a horse is a very dangerous thing. At this moment, she was so scared that she didn't even dare to express her anger.
As the horses galloped, they soon arrived at the streets outside the city. From a distance, they could see soldiers guarding the city walls.
But just as they were about to rush out, two fast horses rushed out from another street.
"The prefect has issued an order to close the city gates and not allow anyone to leave the city!"
The speed of these two horses was very fast. In order not to expose herself, Shen Youwei had no choice but to turn her horse into a side alley.
Hearing the other party shouting to the soldiers on the city wall to close the city gate, Shen Youwei couldn't help but change her face: "These guys react really quickly!"
"Humph, it's all you. If you hurry up, maybe we can get out!"
At the end of the sentence, Shen Youwei glared at the horse under her crotch.
He was just a few steps away from rushing out, but he didn't expect the other party to chase him. Now he was trapped in the city.
Yang Lingxuan smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Su, there is no need to blame the horse. The combined weight of the two of us must be more than the weight of one. It is understandable that they are one step faster than us, not to mention that they are riding fast horses used to report messages. "
Being blocked in the city, Yang Lingxuan had no choice but to let nature take its course.
If it didn't work, she could only return to the Yang Mansion alone so as not to cause trouble to Shen Youwei.
"Hmph, those guys are too fast. They actually know how to close the city gate. I'm so angry!"
Shen Youwei put her hands on her hips, looking very angry.
Yang Lingxuan was no exception. She looked at her mansion and sighed: "Master Zhao is at my house. Maybe this was his idea."
Yang Lingxuan has seen how powerful Mr. Zhao is. Naturally, he must have his own tricks to reach this point.
"Wait a minute... there is the sound of horse hooves outside the city. It seems that someone is about to enter the city. Let's wait here to see if there is a chance to rush out!"
Shen Youwei's eyes suddenly lit up and she heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the city.
If it was during the day and the environment was noisy, she would definitely not be able to hear it so far away, but now it was night and everything was completely silent. With so many hoofbeats coming from her ears, she could naturally hear it.
While the two women were talking, Su Cheng from outside Jiangzhou City also came on horseback with his government servants.
Hurrying slowly, we finally arrived at Jiangzhou City at night.
Just looking at the closed city gate, Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and suddenly shuddered in his heart, a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"Tian Dazhuang, go and ask them to open the city gate!" Su Cheng ordered Tian Dazhuang beside him.
"Okay!"
Tian Dazhuang responded, rode his horse to the city gate and shouted towards the city wall: "My lord is the magistrate of Liuhe County. This time I came to Jiangzhou City to submit the case file to Lord Tongpan, and also asked the brothers on the wall to open the city gate. "
If you want others to open the city gate, you must first report your identity.
The soldiers on the city wall must be the magistrate of Liuhe County, and he was immediately embarrassed.
They had just received the order to close the city gates. If they opened the city gates now, they would not be able to afford it if they ruined the prefect's affairs.
"What should I do? Should I open the city gate?"
"Who is responsible if something goes wrong?"
"But he is the magistrate of Liuhe County. My uncle lives in Liuhe County, and it was only through this gentleman that he was saved."
"Why don't we explain the situation to Mr. Su? Maybe Mr. Su understands his own right and won't enter the city?"
"Yes, I can just tell Mr. Su directly."
After everyone discussed it, the leader of the team shouted to the city wall: "Please tell Mr. Su, we have just received an order not to let anyone leave the city. In order to avoid any trouble, we can only trouble Mr. Su to stay outside the city for nearly a while. I will wait."
Now go and report to the magistrate!"
The captain's meaning was very simple. He didn't want to let Su Cheng in, he just wanted to ask Magistrate Yang for instructions first.
When Tian Dazhuang outside the city heard this, he immediately didn't know how to answer the question.
Su Cheng, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to ride forward: "Prefect Yang's order is that no one is allowed to leave the city, but we are entering the city, which does not conflict with Prefect Yang's order."
"You only need to close the city gate after we enter the city. It won't delay you too long."
Su Cheng keenly grasped the loopholes in Yang Zhifu's order!
When the guards on the city wall heard this, they were stunned for a moment.
Yes, the prefect just told them not to let people out, but he didn't say not to let others in.
The guards looked at each other, and then the captain nodded in order not to offend Su Cheng:
"Master Su's words make sense, but I have misunderstood the meaning of the prefect. Come, please open the city gate and let Master Su enter the city!"
After giving the order, the soldiers at the city gate immediately opened the city gate, and Su Cheng and others immediately entered.
Seeing this scene, Shen Youwei narrowed her eyes on the streets of the city and was about to take advantage of this opportunity to rush out.
But when she saw clearly that the person entering the city was her husband-in-law Su Cheng, she was immediately stunned.
"Ms. sir...why is he here?"
In just such a delay, Su Cheng and twenty government officials had already entered the city, and the soldiers at the gate also closed the city gate again.
When Yang Lingxuan saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Master Su must be worried about Mrs. Su, so he brought someone here to find you."
"We'd better go meet Mr. Su, lest Mr. Su make any noise in the city and expose our actions tonight."
Yang Lingxuan is very smart. She is afraid that Su Chengcheng will do many things to find Shen Youwei, which will attract Zhao Kangyu's attention.
Zhao Kangyu was a very powerful person, but she didn't dare to let him know that Shen Youwei had brought her out.
"All right!"
Shen Youwei pouted, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable with having to ask her husband for help again.
You must know that she has always helped her husband-in-law, when will it be her turn to need help from her husband-in-law.
While he was thinking, Su Cheng happened to pass by on the street on horseback, and Shen Youwei called him softly in the alley: "Mr.
When Su Cheng heard Shen Youwei's voice, he immediately pulled the reins and turned to look into the dark alley.
I saw Shen Youwei and Yang Lingxuan riding on horseback, and my wife lowered her head in embarrassment and did not dare to look at him.
However, after seeing that Shen Youwei was safe and sound, Su Cheng felt relieved.
After knowing that Zhao Kangyu was in Jiangzhou City, he was very worried about his wife's safety, fearing that his wife would be caught when taking Yang Lingxuan away.
Now that Shen Youwei was here, Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Leave here first and find an inn." Su Cheng decided to settle down first.
