The soldier looked at her in surprise. Just when he was about to say something, Long Chi suddenly pressed Lu Liangwei's face into his arms, and then explained with an apologetic smile: "My wife has been infected a few days ago. She will shed blood as soon as she sees the light." The tears made the military master laugh."
The soldier looked at Lu Liangwei again with some suspicion, but still didn't find anything special. Besides, he looked very sick, so it's not like he had any infectious disease.
Thinking about it, he quickly lowered the car curtain.
When Long Chi saw this, he let go of Lu Liangwei and gave her a sarcastic look, but didn't say anything.
Lu Liangwei became anxious when she saw the car curtains lowered again.
Long Chi also tapped her mute point, so she couldn't speak at all.
Moreover, they also tampered with her face, completely transforming her into another person.
She guessed that the portrait in the soldier's hand just now must be of her, but because her appearance was covered up, the soldier could not recognize her at all. She was the person in the painting.
She tried to attract the soldier's attention by blinking and shedding tears, but the soldier didn't think much about it.
Lu Liangwei was very disappointed.
But what she didn't know was that in order to preserve her reputation, Long Yang sent a portrait to Xishuiguan, which only showed a slight resemblance to her, and he did not dare to say that she was the queen of the dynasty, only that she was a certain The lady of the minister's family was abducted by human traffickers.
In addition, Lu Liangwei's appearance was covered up, so the soldiers naturally couldn't tell that she was the person in the portrait.
After interrogation, the soldiers found nothing suspicious and let them go.
The carriages and horses passed quickly and successfully left Xishui Pass.
Just as Long Chi and others were leaving Xishui Pass, the sound of horse hooves was heard from behind, and soon, a group of people appeared at the city gate.
The leader was none other than Long Xuan, and next to him was Chujiu.
The two men and horses chased him all the way from the Imperial Capital. According to the clues, Long Chi should have taken Lu Liangwei to the Yan Kingdom.
But judging from the clues discovered in the past few days, it was clear that the people were still in Dashang territory, so the two of them traveled day and night and rushed to Xishui Pass as quickly as possible, hoping to intercept them in time.
He took out his token and ordered in a deep voice to the soldiers guarding the city: "There are serious criminals from the imperial court who have escaped here. I suspect that they are among this group of traders. We will quickly close the city gate and conduct a careful interrogation."
When the soldiers guarding the city heard this, they did not dare to neglect and hurriedly ordered people to temporarily close the city gate.
For a moment, the atmosphere near the city gate became tense and solemn.
Many businessmen waiting to leave customs became impatient.
Long Xuan didn't care about this at all. He and Chujiu and others personally checked everyone who wanted to leave the customs.
But after working for a long time, no suspicious person was found.
Long Xuan put his hands on his waist and asked the soldiers guarding the city: "How long was the city gate open before I came over?"
"About half an hour." Seeing that he was sent by the imperial court, the soldiers guarding the city spoke very respectfully.
Long Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Chujiu: "It seems that we are still a step late. Maybe Long Chi and the others have already left seclusion before we arrived."
Chujiu's heart sank again and again.
My empress has been missing for so long, so it would be best if nothing happens to her.
"It's not too late, let's get out of the customs quickly." Chujiu said immediately. If Long Chi and the others come out of seclusion, if they hurry up, they might be able to catch up with them.
Long Xuan did not respond immediately, but looked at the soldiers and asked, "Did anyone suspicious come out of the gate just now?"
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to neglect, and shook their heads and said: "General Mo and others have strictly checked every passing merchant, and no suspicious person has been found."
