Although she knew what Xiao Tianyao meant, Lin Chujiu still didn’t stay in the town and waited for Xiao Tianyao to return to the capital. After walking around the town, having breakfast, and buying a change of clothes, she went back to the inn and let the guards go.
“Wangfei, wang… …” The guard bravely stepped forward but was interrupted by Lin Chujiu before he spoke: “Pack up, we’ll leave in a quarter of an hour.”
Lin Chujiu didn’t give the guard a chance to speak, turned around, and went back to the room to pack up.
After only staying for one night, Lin Chujiu didn’t have much to clean up. A quarter of an hour was enough.
When she came out again, Lin Chujiu held a bag in her hand, containing the clothes and snacks she had just bought on the street.
All Xiao Tianyao arranged for her was a group of men, and she couldn’t pack her bags. She can only do these things by herself.
Ignoring the guard’s tangled expression, Lin Chujiu took the bag, climbed straight into the carriage, got inside, and lowered the curtain, telling the guard directly that she was determined to leave now.
The guards have thought of thousands of reasons now, but have no chance to say it, so they have to leave. To be able to rush to the next town before dark, the guards didn’t even dare to linger for a while.
Lin Chujiu and her party were disguised, and they didn’t put the flag of the Xiao Wangfu. The guards who came with her also wore casual clothes, dressed as ordinary servants, but… …
Their disguise can only deceive outsiders, but not the experts. Every move of the guards accompanying her shows the style of the army, and everyone has a very obvious military atmosphere, which cannot be removed by their disguise.
Lin Chujiu knew this, as did the accompanying guards. They don’t wear military uniforms to hide anything, just to avoid some trouble.
If they wear military uniforms, they are performing official duties on behalf of the military. According to the eastern country’s rules, when they enter towns on official business, they must go to the government to register.
This time, they will take Lin Chujiu back to the capital. They walked along the official road. They didn’t know how many towns they had to pass through. If they registered in each town, and the officials in the town knew that they were Xiao Wangfu, they would hold a banquet on their behalf. Even if they can refuse, they can’t stop those people who will come to see them.
To avoid this, they dressed in casual clothes and regarded the task of escorting Lin Chujiu as a private task, not an official affair of the imperial court.
Not wearing a military uniform can save a lot of trouble, but it can also cause trouble. Some small thieves who don’t have long eyes mistakenly thought that Lin Chujiu and his party were fat sheep, and followed them all the way, wanting to wait for them to leave the town and make a big vote.
“Wangfei, we are being followed again.” As soon as they left the town, the guards found that they were being watched by a few gangsters in the town.
The guards don’t understand, what kind of eyes do those little gangsters have? Why do they think they were easy to bully?
There were not as many of them, but they dare to come to the door. Do they think that being local snakes was amazing?
“Just wait until no one else is there.” This was not the first time, and Lin Chujiu believes this will not be the last time either.
“Yes.” The guard silently made a gesture, signaling the person in front to turn around and go to a remote place. That tail following them should be solved.
Soon, the carriage left the official road and drove to the side road. The eyes of the gangster who followed the carriage lit up and ran towards them in a rush, not caring that Lin Chujiu and his party would find them.
In their opinion, Lin Chujiu and the group of outsiders were useless even if they discovered them.
There were more than twenty people, but the line was very long. The first one ran over, and the last one was still more than ten meters away.
