"Law! Laws! From now on, the Imperial City is sealed off! After an hour, anyone who lingered on the street would be killed without mercy!”
"Law! The city was sealed off! If anyone stayed on the street, kill them without mercy!”
When Qin Mu arrived at the city gate with the honey pomelo fragrance, the city gate had already closed slowly. Three to four hundred armored soldiers were ready for battle. Those inside the city could not leave, and those outside the city could not enter.
Cavalrymen rode on their warhorses and ran through the streets, announcing their victory.
Qin Mu and Mi Youxiang looked at each other. Naturally, they understood that their escape from the Changshui River had been discovered.
"What should we do? Should we escape by water again?" Honey Pomelo asked anxiously.
"No." Qin Mu shook his head." We escaped from the water route. There must be heavy guards guarding the Long Water River. If we continue to take the water route, we will die."”
"Then…then how are we going to escape?"”
Qin Mu shook the lantern in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He said faintly,""Run? Why do you still want to run? This was the Imperial City, which was much larger than the Imperial Palace. It will be very difficult to find us.”
"You…you mean…hide?"
"Yes." Qin Mu nodded and turned around. He looked at Mi Youxiang and said,""I'll take you to hide first, and then I'll have to work.”
"Work? What job?" Pomelo Fragrance was completely confused by Qin Mu.
"Naturally, it's the job of a corpse collector." Qin Mu held the muddle-headed Pomelo Fragrance and walked towards the depths of the remote streets of the imperial city."I didn't come here to escape…"
……
The city gates opened again, and groups of strong soldiers entered.
They were armed to the teeth and held sharp swords in their hands. They gathered in the open space in front of the city gate. There were actually two thousand of them.
A general in silver armor rode on a horse and pulled the pin of the horse to come in front of the soldiers. He roared,"Under the orders of the Emperor, enter the Imperial City and capture the evil thief! They searched the entire city and found the evil thief who kidnapped the princess. They killed him on the spot! Tear him into pieces!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two thousand tiger and wolf troops agreed with a loud rumble, their voices shaking the heavens and could be heard from miles away.
The silver-armored general waved his hand, and the soldiers holding a stack of portraits handed them to the soldiers at the head of each row.
After the portraits were distributed, the silver-armored general shouted,""The person in the painting is the princess! Those who go with you are evil thieves. If you kill them, you will be promoted to five grades and rewarded as marquises!”
As soon as the general finished speaking, all the soldiers became restless. Their eyes were bloodshot!
Level up by five!
Marquis!
This was no longer considered a great reward.
This was a generous reward!
Whoever obtained it would bring glory to their ancestors and be famous throughout the world!
The silver-armored general rode on his horse. When he saw that everyone's aura had been mobilized, he immediately waved his hand and roared,"Search!"
"Yes!"
The two thousand soldiers were divided into two hundred squads. They spread out along the empty streets and began to search the entire city.
At this moment, there was no one else on the streets other than the soldiers.
The civilians were hiding in their homes, shivering as they waited for teams of soldiers to rush into their houses and begin a search that was no different from demolition.
On the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace, the Emperor saw the soldiers scattered like ants and nodded. He said calmly,""Two thousand people aren't enough to search in this vast Imperial City. I've received the order to have the Guards Overseer's guards leave the palace to participate in the search. Gu Er, you will lead the team.”
"Yes, sir!"
The burly eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed before turning around and leaving.
……
Inside the Imperial City, West City.
In the courtyard of a wealthy merchant.
Qin Mu violently used his sickle to split open a crack in the rockery and hid the honey pomelo fragrance inside."Wait for me here. Don't move.”
"Where are you going? Aren't we going to escape?" Honey Pomelo tugged at the corner of Qin Mu's clothes and refused to let go.
Qin Mu stroked Pomelo's head and smiled.""We can't escape for the time being. You just hide here. I'll go and do some serious business.”
Pomelo Fragrance gradually loosened her grip and bit her lip."Will you come back?"
"How afraid are you that I'll run away?" Qin Mu facepalmed.
Mi Youxiang blushed and lowered her head slightly."No…no…"
"Just wait here. Don't go out or make a sound. I'll be back in about two hours.”
"Two hours? That long?" Pomelo Fragrance was shocked.
"This is fast." As Qin Mu spoke, he found some shrubs and plants to hide the gap where the honey pomelo fragrance had gone in. He instructed again,""Don't come out. No one should notice you here."
"... Yeah."
"Then I'll be leaving."
"Wait a minute!" Pomelo Fragrance suddenly spoke.
"What now?"
" You…What's your name…"
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment. Looking at the incomparably serious expression in Pomelo Xiang's eyes, he swallowed the words 'corpse collector' in his heart and changed his words."Qin Mu."
After saying that, he took the plant and covered the last crack before turning around to leave in the direction of the east city.
In the gap of the rockery that had darkened, only Pomelo Fragrance muttered softly.
"Qin Mu…"
"Qin Mu…"
"Qin Mu…"
