Chapter 154: Chapter 85 Chongqing Trip (6) Arriving in Chongqing_3

Heavy troops guard at every level.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi watched from a distance as the people in front queued to be checked before they could leave.

On the city gate, there suddenly appeared portraits of the two of them.

The two exchanged glances.

Then, they too entered the queue of people.

The soldiers checked very carefully, and after a long wait, it was their turn.

"Where are you going?" the soldier asked.

"To Shu," Xiao Jinxing answered.

This was something they had discussed beforehand.

They would surely encounter various checkpoints along the way and had prepared their lines in advance.

"Where are you coming from?" the soldier asked.

"Guihe."

"What are you doing in Shu?"

"Returning home to visit relatives."

The soldier scrutinized Xiao Jinxing up and down, then took out the portrait to compare it with Xiao Jinxing’s appearance.

Xiao Jinxing slightly lowered his gaze, appearing somewhat meek.

The soldier looked several times, but the person didn’t quite match the portrait, and then shifted his gaze to Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi also kept his gaze low.

"And you?"

"She is my wife," Xiao Jinxing quickly explained.

"Is this your child?"

"Yes, eight months old," Xiao Jinxing replied.

The soldier looked at them both a few more times.

Lowered his head to look at the child in their arms, and said, "Pass."

"Thank you, officer," Xiao Jinxing quickly thanked him.

Ye Qichi thought that under the circumstances, he couldn’t utter the word "thank you."

The two passed through successfully.

Just as they reached the city gate.

A group of cavalry rode in, kicking up dust as they approached.

Ye Qichi looked up.

That glance, quickly lowered his gaze.

Xiao Jinxing noticed Ye Qichi’s movement and asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong?"

"Chen Zihuan," said Ye Qichi in a very low voice, "He has seen me."

The son of Yuzhou City’s Military Governor, Chen Hezhi!

He had visited the Minister Mansion during her father Ye Zhengde’s 50th birthday.

If they were discovered now!

Ye Qichi couldn’t help but lower her head even more, held the child tighter, and then walked ahead, seemingly calm.

"Received secret reports, the criminal has arrived in Hezhou today, all you men watch closely, if you let the criminal escape, only you will answer for it!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" the soldiers immediately knelt down to receive the order.

"Go!" Chen Zihuan rode his horse, turning around to leave.

Just took a few steps.

"Stop!" he called out to the people passing in front.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi felt a lurch in their hearts.

At that moment, a myriad of possibilities flashed through their minds.

Yet outwardly, they maintained a calm demeanor.

They turned around and quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Honor."

"Lift your heads for this official to see!" Chen Zihuan ordered.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi restrained the anxiety within their hearts.

Slowly, they lifted their heads.

Chen Zihuan frowned.

He said coldly, "Clean your faces!"

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi felt a shock in their hearts.

Could it be, they had been discovered.

"Quickly!" Chen Zihuan shouted impatiently.

The two had no choice but to wipe their faces with dirty sleeves.

Just as they did so.

The baby in their arms suddenly started crying loudly.

"Your Honor, the child is hungry, may I feed the child first?" Xiao Jinxing suddenly spoke up.

Chen Zihuan’s face turned ugly, "Enough with the nonsense, clean your faces first."

Xiao Jinxing dared not resist any further.

He kept wiping.

But because the sleeve had touched the ground, it was already stained with dust, and he seemingly inadvertently kept wiping his face with an even dirtier part of the sleeve, making it dirtier.

Ye Qichi, meanwhile, intentionally kept calming the child in her arms and did not wipe her cheeks.

As Chen Zihuan noticed their lack of cooperation and was about to command the soldiers beside him to wash their faces for them.

A horse rapidly approached, and a soldier leaned close to Chen Zihuan, whispering in his ear.

Upon hearing, Chen Zihuan’s expression changed.

Someone dared to intrude into Yuzhou City?!

He turned and glared fiercely at the two disheveled figures on the ground, took another look at the child in the embrace.

He also felt he might be overly suspicious.

The Prince and Princess Consort wouldn’t possibly have a child.

Besides, the Prince is also disabled.

Without another word, he quickly rode away with his men!

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi breathed a sigh of relief.

That was a close call.

The two quickly got up from the ground and hurriedly left the city gate.

After leaving, the two kept heading towards Yuzhou.

In the direction of Yuzhou, countless refugees lay dead across the wasteland, and now this road was nearly deserted.

The citizens of Yuzhou City were sternly forbidden to leave, and no one else would go to Yuzhou City now.
