When Xie Yao left the village, the two corpses had completely disappeared.
The traces left by the sulfuric acid have been completely covered by the raised soil, and there is no trace left.
By now it was completely dark, Xie Yao found a carriage that was willing to drive at night and headed straight to the capital.
It was an uneventful night, and when it got brighter, the coachman let the horses eat grass and drink water, while Xie Yao found a nearby place to eat something.
While I was eating, several people came next to me, each of them holding a portrait in their hands and asking questions.
"Hey, have you seen this woman?"
"As long as I can provide clues, I will have ten taels of silver."
"Have you seen it? Hey, what about you?"
A man walked up to Xie Yao and placed the portrait in front of Xie Yao, "I want to ask you, have you seen it before?"
"I've never seen it before." Xie Yao lowered her head and deliberately made her voice thicker.
"Never seen it? Can you take a closer look?" The man did not ask once and then leave like he did with others, but stood still.
Xie Yao raised her head and glanced calmly, "I haven't seen it before. Ask others."
While he was speaking, the other hand hanging down had already grasped the Red Lotus Blade.
"Are you sure you've never seen her before?" The man seemed a little reluctant, staring at her face closely.
Xie Yao tightened her grip. As long as the man made any move, she would attack!
"Laoba, what are you doing? Once you've finished asking here, go to the next place!" Another person urged.
"Here we come!" The man glanced at Xie Yao and then left.
Xie Yao glanced at the people leaving and frowned secretly.
"What are you doing? Is there anything suspicious about that woman? Why did it take so long to ask?" the person urging asked in confusion.
"No. I just think she looks pretty." The man laughed.
"Don't think about those useless things! Just wait until the errands are done and you get the money to feel comfortable."
Hearing these conversations from a distance, Xie Yao let go, finished the food in a few mouthfuls, and went to find the coachman.
This place was not far from the capital, and she didn't expect that someone would be looking around with the portrait. She had to leave as soon as possible.
The coachman had already finished repairing the carriage. When he saw Xie Yao coming over, he said directly, "Sir, the carriage is ready and ready to go at any time."
"Okay." Xie Yao said and stepped onto the carriage.
"Okay." The coachman responded and walked around the carriage to confirm again.
Xie Yao was sitting in the carriage and suddenly frowned. He opened a gap in the curtain and looked outside, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"We are still going the way we originally planned," she said calmly.
"It's all up to you," the coachman said.
The coachman drove the carriage forward, and after about two quarters of an hour of bumpy ride, he was suddenly stopped by a group of people and stopped.
The coachman thought he had met a robber, so he immediately jumped out of the carriage and knelt down in fear, "Heroes, please spare your lives! I'm just going to the capital, and I only have a few scattered pieces of silver with me. If you guys don't mind it, just take it!"
The leader covered his face with a blue scarf and gestured to the people beside him.
Immediately, someone came over, took the coachman away, and killed him with a knife.
The man in green scarf shouted towards the carriage, "Why don't you get out of the car and just surrender?"
After saying that, he looked at the carriage with a proud look on his face. Catching Xie Yao today is a great achievement in front of the prince!
"..." No sound came from the carriage.
The man in green scarf raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "Now that things have come to this, why do you still have to pretend to be calm? There is no way you can escape from my hands today!"
"In order to catch you, I have prepared a lot of things this time, including spears and daggers, as well as trip wires and sky-covering nets! Even if you have great abilities, you can't even think of escaping!"
King Mu specially warned him that Xie Yao was full of tricks and must be guarded to the death. Naturally, he did not dare to be careless.
"Vice General Shen, there's no need to talk nonsense to her, the general will just rush up and capture her." Someone beside him volunteered.
Vice General Shen glared at him, and the man immediately stopped moving.
"Come here, smash the carriage!" He gave the order, and immediately two people riding two horses with a big cylinder in the middle rammed towards the carriage.
With a "boom", the carriage was instantly hit and split apart.
Vice General Shen couldn't help but frown slightly, why didn't the people in the carriage get out?
Immediately, a smug sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's just a trick! Come and arrest them alive!"
No matter what method Xie Yao uses today, she will never escape from his hands today.
"Yes." The soldiers around him responded, scrambling to gallop past.
Vice General Shen looked at it, grinning from the corner of his mouth to his ears, as if he saw the reward given by the prince right in front of him.
Soon, a soldier came back and said in surprise: "Vice General Shen, there is no one in the carriage!"
The smile on Deputy Shen's lips froze and he immediately looked in the direction of the ruins of the carriage.
Unable to see clearly, he immediately ran over on horseback and was completely stunned on the spot!
Where are people?
He clearly received a tip that Xie Yao rushed to the capital in this carriage, how could he not?
Is the information reported wrong? Absolutely impossible!
Something must have gone wrong! Maybe Xie Yao suddenly noticed something was wrong and got off the carriage first, or some other reason!
"Come here, bring the coachman here, I want to question you!" Vice General Shen scolded coldly, and everyone behind him fell silent.
"Can't you understand?" Vice General Shen became even more angry when he saw this.
At this time, a soldier came over and reminded, "Vice-General Shen, you forgot, the coachman is dead."
Lieutenant General Shen was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him, "They are all a bunch of fucking trash!"
The soldier staggered after being slapped and did not dare to say a word.
Lieutenant General Shen stared deeply at the fragments of the carriage in front of him, his angry eyes spitting fire!
Damn it! The fat in your mouth just flew away!
"Come here! Let me investigate thoroughly! I want to find out who leaked the news!" Vice General Shen's voice was ruthless, as if he wanted to eat someone.
…
Xie Yao was riding in another carriage at this time, taking another road and heading towards the capital.
"How long until we can enter the city?" Xie Yao asked.
"It won't take long. Although it's a long detour, it'll only take an hour at most," the coachman replied.
Xie Yao's eyes narrowed for a moment, a few days had passed, and she didn't know what the capital had become now.
"Try to be as quick as possible."
"It's okay to speed up, but you have to pay more," the coachman said.
"Can."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yao could feel that the speed of the carriage had increased significantly.
However, this speed only lasted for half an hour, and then gradually slowed down.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yao asked, and at the same time opened the curtain a little.
"The checkpoint ahead will be slower. It will be fine once you pass the checkpoint." After the coachman finished speaking, he muttered to himself, "It's strange. There used to be no checkpoint here. Is there something big going on?"
Xie Yao saw that the soldiers in front were holding a portrait in their hands and compared them with the people passing by. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she asked, "Is there another way to go?"
