Three days passed in the blink of an eye. A convoy stopped in front of the Ning Family's gate. Su Chen left four Imperial Guards at the Ning Family, waiting for them to leave the Qi Family before he would Self-Detonation create confusion.
This was also intended to monitor and blackmail the Ning Family.
The people traveling with the convoy were all replaced by Su Chen's Death Warriors, a total of twenty-seven people.
Su Chen looked at Ning Zhou indifferently. "The lives of everyone in your Ning Family are still in my hands. I hope you don't try anything funny, otherwise... you'll bear the consequences."
Ning Zhou's face was full of fear. "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely not play any tricks. I spent a lot of money this time, and I have also bought the necessary passes and fare certificates for you. If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be able to leave Qi Province."
Su Chen didn't say anything more. He pulled down the curtain, and the carriage slowly started moving.
The carriage wasn't fast, and it would take at least two days to leave Qi Province. Su Chen would spend most of those two days inside the carriage.
Ning Zhou provided them with dry rations, which, although not as tasty as meat, were still quite filling.
[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host, you have received 200 ordinary soldiers.]
[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 1 Fierce General.]
Fierce General?
A look of doubt flashed in Su Chen's eyes. He summoned it directly, and a man who was eight feet tall and had an extremely strong physique immediately appeared beside him. He held Eighteen-foot Serpent Spear and exuded a sense of oppression.
It's obvious at a glance that their combat power is extremely terrifying.
Information about this person also appeared out of thin air in Su Chen's mind.
"General Zhou possesses superhuman strength and is skilled in military strategy."
The information is extremely brief.
He seems to be a master of military strategy.
[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host, you have received 305 jin of pork.]
[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host earned 205 ordinary soldiers.]
That noon.
They arrived at the border crossing of Qi Province was now many times more secure than before. Nearly fifty people stood guard at the gate, all on high alert, as if they were arresting someone.
"Halt! Do you have a pass to leave the pass?"
A man immediately alighted from the carriage. He was dressed in fine clothes; this was Su Chen's Death Warriors in disguise.
"I am the steward of the Ning family in Shuiyang Town."
As he spoke, he slipped a silver note into the back of the exit pass in his hand.
The city guard narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the Death Warriors. Then, right before everyone's eyes, he flipped the exit permit over, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Bribing officials, what is your crime?"
The city guard shouted, and the other soldiers around him drew their weapons and pointed them at Su Chen's convoy.
Inside the carriage, Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
It seems that leaving Qi Province today won't be so easy.
The city guard coldly surveyed the group of Death Warriors: "I suspect there's something wrong with this caravan. Search them thoroughly."
"Wait!"
Just as the soldiers were about to surround Past, a deep voice suddenly rang out from afar, followed by a Middle-aged Man walking over.
"Greetings, General Ning!"
The surrounding city guards all bowed and saluted.
Ning Ling narrowed his eyes, took the exit pass from the guard's hand, and stuffed the silver notes behind it into his pocket.
The soldier guarding the city's expression changed slightly. He was about to speak when Ning Ling glared at him, so he immediately dared not say anything more and could only accept the silver notes with a fawning expression.
Ning Ling waved to the convoy. "You can go now."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
The Death Warriors, disguised as the Ning Family steward, was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly led the caravan away.
Ning Ling stopped paying attention, and the pass returned to calm.
Ning Ling turned and left, glancing at Su Chen's convoy out of the corner of his eye. His eyes flickered slightly, but he ultimately said nothing.
Leaving Qi Province means completely moving away from the core area of the Great Yu Dynasty, but it is still in the hinterland, or rather, the entire Eastern Continent is the hinterland. Only by leaving the Eastern Continent and going to the Western Continent or the Southern Continent can one truly escape danger.
Su Chen immediately left the convoy, taking two Death Warriors and General Zhou with him towards another mountain road.
He didn't believe no one would suspect anything; the convoy couldn't withstand scrutiny. So Su Chen decisively chose to leave. As long as they couldn't find him in the convoy, the Death Warriors wouldn't be in any danger.
When he left, he carefully had the hoofprints wiped away.
Really.
About half an hour after Su Chen left, a group of people rushed over; they were all wearing armor.
"Stop!"
The leading general suddenly shouted, and the convoy had no choice but to stop.
Among this group of people, there was one familiar face: Ning Ling.
Ning Ling's face was filled with terror. Although he didn't know who was in the convoy, he was sure they were not ordinary people, and might even be the serious criminal the court had recently arrested.
It's over!
A group of soldiers completely surrounded the convoy.
"Sir, what does this mean?"
The Death Warriors's face was filled with terror and confusion.
The leading general remained silent, merely glancing coldly at Ning Ling before speaking in a detached voice, "Search!"
A group of people immediately rushed forward and began searching the convoy in a very aggressive manner, turning the entire convoy upside down.
But soon, a look of doubt appeared on the general's face.
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Seeing that none of the searching soldiers had returned, he forced a smile and said, "General Ning, these are special times. It's best to put away those little schemes. If something really happens, neither of us will be able to explain ourselves."
Ning Ling breathed a sigh of relief when she found nothing.
"General Zhou is right. I went too far this time, and it will never happen again. These are my family's convoys, and I let them go to avoid trouble."
Zhou Ping said nothing more and left with his men.
He'd done this kind of thing before, and normally he wouldn't have bothered, but the imperial court seemed to be arresting a serious criminal, so he had to be careful. After all, if there was a problem with the key, he could lose his head.
The Death Warriors looked at Zhou Ping with a face full of humiliation. The once neatly arranged goods were now in a mess, and he looked like a weak person who had been bullied but dared not speak up.
After Zhou Ping and the others left, the Death Warriors breathed a slight sigh of relief, began to right the goods, and then continued walking forward.
The goods were all genuine, and buyers had even been contacted. Before departure, Ning Zhou made sure to explain the entire transportation process clearly to avoid being exposed.
He also seemed quite worried about these people being discovered.
The main fear was the execution of nine generations of one's family!
Therefore, the best option is for them to drop you off at your destination and then leave, which would make the trip a complete success.
In the distant Mountain Forest, an Imperial Guard stood, almost blending into the surrounding environment. After seeing Zhou Ping leave, he hurriedly went back to report.
The terrain becomes wider after that, and it's not necessary to go through the checkpoint, although the other roads will be a bit more rugged.
After about half a month, Su Chen finally arrived at the edge of the Eastern Continent. However, even there, his wanted poster was still posted.
A wanted poster of Su Chen may now be displayed in every corner of the Great Yu Dynasty.
Su Chen's eyes were filled with gloom. "I escaped. Soon, you'll regret it. This time... I'll still win."
Upon arriving at this place, although he was still wanted, his Sign-In over the past few days had allowed him to accumulate nearly two men under his command, and he also had ample supplies, enough to feed two thousand people for a month or so.
With troops at his disposal, Su Chen had no worries whatsoever, even if he encountered any danger.
Moreover, it takes time for the imperial court's orders to be issued and transmitted here, so encircling and suppressing them is no longer so simple.
The next step is to think about how to turn the tide and win.
