Chapter 277 Return to Qin (seven)
After nightfall, Handan was silent, losing the bustling noise during the day, and the rest was the thick coldness, and there was no one on the quiet cross street. Only the footsteps of the patrol team passing by would occasionally break the stagnant calm and stir up a little turbulence.
The repeated patrols will always make people slack off. The leading team is planning to walk the last lap and everyone can go back to the camp to rest. They do not want to suddenly rush out a carriage in the thick night. The driver of the carriage is shaking his whip from time to time, not only ignore the oncoming patrol team, but also has no intention of stopping to undergo inspection.
For such a carriage that has no sign and dares to rush around at night, its background is often scary, and it is not something that he can offend, even if it is not allowed to be intercepted, the team not only restricts the team from hiding on the roadside, making it easier for the carriage to pass through.
One hand stretched out along the car window, holding a waist sign in his hand and shook it towards the patrol team. The team was sharp-eyed, and when they saw the shape of the waist sign, they knew the identity of the person in the car. They immediately bowed and let the carriage go away.
After the carriage passed by, the patrol team returned to the road. A young soldier asked quietly: "Captain, who was that person just now."
"You only need to know who you can have that kind of low-key brand, all powerful and powerful people. In the future, when you see such a person, how far you can hide and how far you can hide, face is more important than life in their eyes."
In the carriage, Zhao Kang trembled and took the waist sign back from the window, looking at Yi Ren pitifully. Perhaps it was because he had bullied him before. Yi Ren was extremely aggressive in attacking the housekeeper of the Marquis's house. The two old punches made Zhao Kang remember him deeply. Now he looked at Yi Ren with fear. If you don't be afraid, you can't, the knife is still on your neck.
In this way, the carriage was moving forward rapidly, in the carriage. The last one was Xia Ji's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting, and the little baby was sleeping in his mother's arms. Yi Ren used a dagger to hold Zhao Kang's neck and leaned against the front of the carriage. The carriage was driving outside. The carriage turned across the corner of the street and could already see the towering city tower.
However, when you leave the city late at night, necessary inspections are indispensable. The city gate is not like the patrol teams in the city. They just turn a blind eye to the dignitaries and nobles, because every time the city gate is opened at night, it must be recorded. If there is no sufficient reason to explain the reason, the city defense general can immediately cut off the head of the city gate guard and then convict him of neglecting his duties.
So when the carriage slowly slowed down, the two fully armed guards had already lit torches and lined up. The head guard stood in the middle of the road with his waist knife, staring coldly at the carriage without any signs.
"The coming stops"
Hearing the call of the on-duty officer, A San slowly tightened the reins, slowed down, and finally stopped not far from the on-duty officer.
The bamboo curtain at the car window was lifted up, revealing a face that was gloomy and clear. Then an unwilling voice said: "Julu Hou Mansion goes out of the city to do business, please get out of here quickly."
"Yeah, it turns out it's Butler Zhao." The city gate was also a clever person. As soon as he heard the sound, he knew the identity of the person in the car. Then the light of the torch quickly looked at the window and confirmed Zhao Kang's identity even more.
"My husband, please forgive me. Although I recognize you with a humble position, the procedures for leaving the city are still indispensable. I will show you a low-key card. Let me tell you in detail what official duties you have to leave the city at this moment. It is easy for a young man to register here."
Zhao Kang was now confused in his heart, trying to show some footsteps to arouse the guard's alertness, but he was afraid that his life would be lost once he was beaten. But after he really left the city, he didn't even have the last chance to escape. He was hesitating repeatedly, but he saw that the on-duty was getting closer.
Feeling the chill from his lower back, Zhao Kang quickly made a choice between whether he died or not. He handed over the waist card with a calm expression.
The guard carefully took the waist sign. He looked at the torch carefully for a while, and after confirming that it was correct, he respectfully returned it to Zhao Kang. Taking advantage of the opportunity to return the things, the eyes of the guard at the city gate quickly glanced into the carriage, but unfortunately it was a dark inside, and it was impossible to see clearly.
"I don't know if the Lord is leaving the city at this time..."
"After the order of the marquis, go out of the city to do some private matters. You should know some things you should know, and don't ask random questions if you shouldn't know." Feeling the stinging pain from the back of your lower back, Zhao Kang scolded with a gloomy face.
The on-duty attitude was not suspicious at all. Instead, he smiled and asked his subordinates to check the car front, back and left and right.
Maybe the sound outside was too loud, or maybe he was sleeping a little bit full. Zhao Ji suddenly felt the child in her arms move twice, and then she was about to cry out loud.
The journey was full of twists and turns, and finally got to the gate of the city. Could it be that it would be ruined by the crying of the child, Zhao Ji's mind was blank at this time, and her hands holding the child kept shaking. He didn't know what to do, Yi Ren next to him closed his eyes in pain, feeling as if he was dead.
However, Zhao Kang inadvertently showed a hint of joy, but I don’t know if Yi Ren had any thoughts. The dagger actually pushed forward again. The tip of the dagger had already been fleshy. This made Zhao Kang’s stinky face suddenly turn into bitter gourd. He sighed in his heart, pity that he had just been in glory for several years, but he didn’t expect that he would end up with a burial today.
The little baby knew that his cry had already caused a huge disaster. He only knew that when he woke up, he was hungry and cried when he grinned.
"Wow"
The crying stopped immediately after it started. Yi Ren opened his eyes tremblingly, and saw his mother bit her fingers, then put her fingers into the baby's mouth. With food, the child quickly calmed down, but everything was too late.
The loud crying sound was as obvious as a fire in this quiet night. Although it disappeared quickly, it was enough to make the guards who were still searching around him clearly for a moment. All the guards stopped their movements and their eyes quickly focused on the strange-looking face of the city gate.
Private affairs, the baby's crying, leaving the city late at night, and Zhao Kang's extremely gloomy bitter face at this moment, if there is still no problem in the car, then the official who has been on duty for so many years in this city gate will be in vain.
"Cough cough" The city gate was on duty and coughed twice, walked to the side unnaturally, and suddenly raised his hand to the end.
