One month later Town Ghost Pass
A caravan of hundreds of people was heading towards the huge dark fortress.
As one of the three major caravans of Baron Duchy, most of its trade includes some strategic trade materials between the two countries as well as luxuries and treasures of many nobles in the principality.
Such a large and valuable material commodity naturally requires a strong guard to protect it. Therefore, every time a caravan travels between the two countries, mercenaries and strong men will be recruited on a large scale before leaving the customs. And in their team this time, there are only eighteen guards above the Da Dou Shi level, and among them is a strong leader Dou Ling. On the trade route without the threat of Magical Beast, they basically have no worries.
"Stop! Routine inspection for everyone!" When everyone in the caravan entered the pass, the Black Iron Gate, which was ten feet high, fell heavily, and the Iron-Clad Soldiers, which had a hundred people, slowly approached and surrounded everyone.
Bao Lisi sat on the front carriage, looked at the elite troops calmly, and said lightly, "We are OPEC Merchant Team of Baron Duchy."
"Deputy Commander has ordered that all personnel who have been coming and going recently must be inspected. Please cooperate with us!" The leader of the team walked up with a long gun and nodded to him.
Bao Lisi frowned a little impatiently. His reputation in this generation is not low. On weekdays, the inspectors who came in and out of his caravan would nod and bow down, and talk to him kindly.
It's going to be so troublesome today, if that thing is found...
"Where are you Deputy Commander people? Let him come to see me." Bao Lisi said coldly.
The squad leader was a little embarrassed, but his trained professionalism still allowed him to keep his expression calm and emphasized in very mechanical words. "Sorry, it is our official duty to check people coming and going."
"Hmph!" Bao Lisi snorted coldly, not giving in to the soldiers' inspection. Some of the stronger people in the caravan also came out and confronted Iron-Clad Soldiers.
Just when both sides were in a stalemate, a slightly cold voice came through:
"Sir Bao Lisi, a key criminal has recently appeared in our Jia Ma Empire, and he is wanted across the country. My father told me that people who have recently moved around will be strictly investigated. Please forgive me."
I saw a thin young man walking over with a slightly apologetic expression.
"You mean, I will secretly hide important criminals?" Bao Lisi's tone was still cold.
"Haha, of course not. We are just afraid that there will be some young people in your team. So we only check the personnel, not the goods." The young man laughed twice and explained.
After hearing that the goods were not checked, Bao Lisi Ling Ran's momentum also relaxed. Although he has the support of their country behind him, after all, Jia Ma Empire has not yet appeared, and it is not a wise move to cause too much conflict with them.
"Check it." Bao Lisi nodded and motioned to his cronies to take care of the goods.
"Did you hear that? Go check it out quickly!" The young man turned around and ordered the soldiers.
I saw the soldiers taking out white wanted notices from their arms, with a black-haired young man carrying a giant ruler on his back painted on them.
The hundreds of soldiers worked very quickly, and the check was completed in less than half a minute. Indeed, no suspicious person was found.
The young man apologized again. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Bao Lisi, we were presumptuous."
After that, he led the group of subordinates to leave in an orderly manner, and the huge Black Iron Gate in the pass was slowly lifted up.
"It's time for us to leave!" Bao Lisi shouted to the people behind, and the caravan once again drove towards the outside of the customs. As long as you leave this Town Ghost Pass, you have completely left the territory of the Jia Ma Empire.
In a corner among the caravan crowd, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
At this time, Xiao Yan looked like he was in his thirties and had an ordinary appearance; while Nalan Yanran, who was standing next to him, looked completely different.
This is without mentioning Ya Fei's work efficiency. Ice Silkworm Silk Mask, which can change his face, was actually delivered to him on the third day after he asked for it.
It is precisely because of this that he and Nalan Yanran were able to escape the layers of blockade and containment and finish everything before leaving Jia Ma Empire.
After leaving Misty Cloud Sect, they first replied to Wutan City and solved the problem of the Misty Cloud Sect Enforcement Team who came to question him. After Zanhou protected Xiao Family, it took him nearly half a month to reach the hiding place arranged by the Mittel Family.
Afterwards, they marched all the way to the northwest. For fear of being exposed and being blocked again, they never entered a large city, so this journey was quite hard.
When they reached Daling City, the only way to the Jia Ma Empire the three major passes on the northwest border, they encountered a Bao Lisi caravan that was recruiting mercenaries, so they joined it, and that was the scene just now.
"After walking for two or three days, the caravan will arrive at Dongsheng City of Baron Duchy. We will leave the caravan at that time." Xiao Yan talked to Nalan Yanran in a very low voice.
At this time, Nalan Yanran had an ordinary appearance, but his white and tender skin and proud figure were coveted by many mercenaries in the caravan. However, after she showed her considerable strength, almost everyone was wary and respectful of her.
Nalan Yanran nodded and said lightly, "When that happens, I will leave."
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What are your plans in the future?"
"Let's start with the national activities in this area. When I get stronger, I will consider going to the center of this area. I heard that it is full of opportunities and challenges." At this point, Nalan Yanran raised a curve in the corner of his mouth, "Maybe if I get one, I will be better than you!"
After spending this month together, she became more and more aware of the gap between herself and the young man she admired.
"Don't worry, I will definitely have no complaints when I am defeated by you!" Xiao Yan also laughed.
"Is this an agreement between us? How about setting a time?" Nalan Yanran turned to stare at Xiao Yan, with some hope in his eyes.
"Um, seven years?" Xiao Yan scratched his head. To be honest, after seeing each other this time, he was really not sure when they would see each other again.
Xiao Yan himself still has to find his father, which is a very long journey. Liuli's father had no intention of helping anymore, so he missed an opportunity. However, he seemed to know the organization that captured his father, which gave Xiao Yan a good clue.
This time I went to the Jia Nan Academy to practice, so I had to ask Miss Gongsun carefully.
Xiao Yan secretly made up his mind.
"Then ten years! You still have your own things to do, don't you?" Nalan Yanran said slowly. She already knew about Xiao Yan's father being arrested, so she could also see Xiao Yan's concerns.
"Okay!" Xiao Yan nodded vigorously.
"Then the location will be Magical Beast Mountain Range. I hope that in ten years, you and I can become Dou Huang expert!" Nalan Yanran smiled elegantly, "When we return to the Jia Ma Empire, we can be regarded as overlords, right?"
"Of course, how many Dou Emperors are there in a place as big as Jia Ma Empire?"
"Indeed."
The two of them laughed in unison, causing the people around them to look at each other strangely.
