Chapter 517: Chapter 345: Want to Escape?! (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_3
During the daylight hours, quite a few people were coming and going through the city gates. These three carriages, spaced out as they traveled the road, did not attract any attention.
As the city gate came into view, Lian Rong couldn’t help but recall the scene of rushing out of the gate that day.
If it hadn’t been for his outward identity as merely a servant of the Xu family, no matter whether he had taken Consort Li or any concubine hostage, he would never have escaped.
The guards stationed under the city gate were the elite from the Capital Camp. Their objective was to capture Xu Yin. They were neither familiar with nor concerned about Lian Rong, but the thoroughness of their search even now sends shivers down his spine.
He never thought that he would actually have to enter the tiger’s lair again today!
When Lian Yang ordered him to enter the capital city to divert Pei Zhan and the others’ attention, his heart sank to the bottom.
Back then, when the King of Dayue was pursuing Duan Mian, he discovered the remnants of the Prince Yi Mansion still within Dayue’s territory. Lian Rong did not escape but was taken to the dungeon with them.
Later, he actively sought out the King of Dayue, proposed conditions, and became a traitor to Prince Yi’s mansion. He took the opportunity when Xu Yin was appointed as an official in Great Zhou to approach him.
At that time, Xu Yin was a rising star, with boundless prospects in the Great Zhou Court. The King of Dayue wanted to use Xu Yin’s power to internally overthrow Great Zhou, while Lian Rong wanted to break away from the Prince Yi Mansion and erase his slave status.
For years, he tried to persuade Xu Yin to target Great Zhou’s five General Mansions, but Xu Yin was very determined. He knew he couldn’t compete with the five General Mansions, so he chose to avoid their edge.
In the end, Great Zhou still won; Lian Rong did not meet the conditions he promised to the King of Dayue, but he used his identity to manipulate Xu Yin’s situation, which directly led to the Crown Prince’s forced coup.
Nowadays, Great Zhou finds itself in a situation where the imperial heir is unable to continue, which is not bad news for Dayue.
So Lian Rong found Lian Yang.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he was still used as a pawn by Lian Yang!
He is now a convict of the Great Zhou Court. Apart from relying on Lian Yang and gritting his teeth to see this path through, what other solutions does he have?
Fortunately, most of the information is still in his hands. He firmly believes Yang Yi has arrived in the capital; as long as he is captured before he meets the Empress, their plan can make significant progress!
Thus, he can also escape the crisis.
"We’ve reached the base of the city; the inspection will start soon. Be careful, young master."
The two guards accompanying him closely whispered a reminder.
Lian Rong composed himself, touched the new scar on his left cheek, and dismounted the donkey cart with bated breath.
With this scar, his appearance has greatly changed compared to before, which gives him much better odds.
It should be fine, he thought.
Yet just as this thought arose, a tremendous sound of horse hooves came from behind!
"Young master, it seems to be the young general from the Cheng family! It looks like they’ve caught up!"
The guard’s voice clearly tightened as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Lian Rong looked carefully and his expression changed immediately.
The young general on horseback was none other than Cheng Chili!
But shouldn’t he be with Fu Zhen at this moment?
His men would not fail, there were so many people on the street; even if Fu Zhen wasn’t crippled, she would be injured!
These hypocritical heirs of the general family, how could they ignore the citizens’ safety to avoid danger?
So she definitely couldn’t escape!
But if she was injured, it made no sense for Cheng Chili to leave her!
How did he catch up so quickly?
Gazing at the city gate within arm’s reach, Lian Rong swallowed harshly and said, "Cover the rear!"
After he spoke, he headed towards the farmers selling vegetables in the front, taking bold steps to undergo inspection.
Since Fu Zhen indicated that Lian Rong and the others were headed for the capital, Cheng Chili didn’t hesitate. He traveled westward and soon came upon two tenants who had lost their donkey carts.
With just a few questions, he got the picture and chased ahead in earnest.
When he was about a mile outside the city gate, he indeed spotted two donkey carts in the distance, so without thinking too much, he charged forward to apprehend them.
Unexpectedly, two sword-wielding samurai jumped off one of the donkey carts, charging at him as if they were determined to die!
Cheng Chili was forced to counterattack, but his guards acted swiftly, surrounding the two in a blink.
Seizing this moment, he glanced from there down to under the city gate; apart from these two, everyone else remained where they were, shivering as they watched. Immediately, he spurred his horse:
"Lian Rong must have entered the city! Leave half to handle these two, and the rest follow me into the city!"
