Gu Heng's thoughts turned and he had some ideas about the next arrangements. If something went wrong, he would forcefully turn it around.
After Gu Heng used the special waist token given by Hong Sheng to get his horse, he bumped into Liu Qi at the entrance. Liu Qi was also leading a horse.
"Sir, shall we set off now?"
"Let's go. We're in a hurry. Let's run faster and see if we can reach Tianyou City before dark.”
Gu Heng didn't want to spend the night in the wild. He was in the middle of nowhere, and he always felt unsafe out of habit. However, the reality was that if they really encountered bandits, they would be the ones who would be unsafe.
The two of them rode on horses. In the Imperial City, riding horses could not increase their speed. By the time they reached the city gate, more than half an hour had passed.
After showing their waist tags, the two of them left the city gate. The horse under their feet ran happily at a fast speed. Gu Heng felt that it was definitely faster than driving on the highway in his previous life.
The Ferghana Horse was indeed a Ferghana Horse. It was completely different from the horses that Gu Heng had seen on Earth in his previous life. Its horsepower was not like a horse, but more like a dragon.
The two riders were fast, and dust billowed.
What Gu Heng did not know was that behind him, in a private room of a restaurant near the entrance of the Imperial City, a gaze was watching him leave.
"Holy Maiden, did this kid sense something and actually escape?”
The thin middle-aged man sitting opposite Ren Yingying raised his eyebrows and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"Martial Uncle Xiang, you shouldn't say that. I didn't plan to kidnap him by force.”Ren Yingying raised her eyebrows slightly. Her calm tone revealed a trace of disappointment.
Previously, when Xiang Wentian suggested to kidnap Gu Heng and bring him to the southern border, she had really thought about it carefully. However, she had not made a decision yet. If she really kidnapped Gu Heng, she was afraid that Gu Heng would hate her. This was originally a matter of mutual love. It was not appropriate to be afraid that they would become enemies in the end.
However, if she did nothing, she would feel a little unwilling, although she did not know why.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that. We will set off tomorrow and leave this troublesome place, Great Bright Imperial City. We can't stay here any longer.”
Xiang Wentian gulped down the wine in his hand and nodded.
"That's right, this old man is getting more and more confused about Big Ming's trip. Even Skyblade Song Que is here. If Invincible East comes to join in the fun, it will be a huge disadvantage for us who are not ready yet.”
Ren Yingying did not say anything else. She recalled the horse that had been following her silently. She stood up and walked out of the room with her sword.
Xiang Wentian followed behind her, surrounded by the elders, hall masters, and incense masters of the Sun Moon Sect.
……
Gu Heng didn't have the ability to foresee things. He didn't know that Ren Yingying saw him leave the Imperial City and thought that he was taking the opportunity to escape.
When the sky completely darkened, he just happened to arrive at Tianyou City.
The two horses, which had been running for half a day, spat out their tongues. When Gu Heng pulled the rope, they let out waves of roars.
Gu Heng was also exhausted. It was not the thunder of his body or mind. With his current cultivation, it would not be a problem for him to run for a year and a half. It was just that he had always been lazy. He was not used to being tired when he suddenly had to run like this.
It's a waste.
Tianyou City was located to the north of the Great Bright Imperial City. At this time, the city gates were already closed. Gu Heng took out his waist token and handed it over. From time to time, the city gates would open. At the city gates, there was also a person from the government who led Gu Heng and the others to a mansion. This was the Jinyiwei's office in Tianyou City. This was the first time Gu Heng had seen Commander Azure Dragon face to face.
" Greetings, Commander!!" Gu Heng and Liu Qi greeted him.
Standing in front of the two was a middle-aged man in black. When he saw Gu Heng and the other man, he finally nodded in relief.
"Very good, as expected of the men of our Great Ming Embroidered Uniform Guards. You came at the right time.”
"Let's cut to the chase. The members of the Heavenly Eagle Gang are all here. You guys will set off early tomorrow morning to escort them back.”
"Don't worry. I've already taken care of the rest.”
The Azure Dragon Commander was also very strict. He arranged everything in a few words and then rode out of the city gate. Although there was a curfew in Tianyou City, it did not include the Embroidered Uniform Guards, especially for a big shot like the Azure Dragon Commander.
Gu Heng finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the dispirited members of the Heavenly Eagle Gang who had taken the Soul Falling Powder.
"Liu Qi, guard these people. Only the Ming Imperial Court has the antidote for the Fallen Soul Powder, and the effect will last for at least a month. These people are not worth worrying about.”
Gu Heng instructed.
Liu Qi's expression was bitter, but he could only accept the order. He was the lowest rank here, and this guard mission was something he should do.
Gu Heng could finally be a hands-off manager for once. He occupied a room and fell asleep after eating something.
Nothing happened that night.
The next day, the two of them rode their horses again and escorted the nine prisoners out of Tianyou City, heading towards Great Ming Imperial City.
This time, the speed of the return trip was much slower than when they came. After all, the structure of the prison carriage was different. If nothing happened along the way, according to Gu Heng's estimation, two days would probably be enough. It would take at least three days to return to the Great Bright Imperial Capital.
Gu Heng was not in a hurry. It was already at this point, and there was no use in being anxious.
What Gu Heng did not know was that when they passed through a mountain forest, a heavily injured man with disheveled hair and eyes filled with killing intent was hiding in the grass, watching Gu Heng escort him away.
