Chapter 196: Disguise

Youzhou, on the official road leading to the border.

A convoy of horses drawn by yellow horses was moving forward, and the dust was flying along the way, and the procession formed a long line.

The members of this convoy are complex, some are businessmen who have been doing business in Youzhou and Moby Dick Mansion for many years, and some have dragged their families and migrated with their families.

The convoy set off from a small city and had been on the official road for four days and three nights.

At noon, the convoy stopped on the side of the road to rest, and a group of children frolicked and played.

"Grandpa, this avocado is for you. ”

A gaunt and gray-haired old man passed by the children, and the milky little girl handed him an avocado.

"Thank you, little doll. ”

The old man took the avocado with a smile, wiped it with a coarse cloth, and walked to his carriage.

"Grandpa, why don't you eat it right away?"

The little girl's eyes were shining, and she asked curiously.

"Your grandmother loves avocados the most, I'll give it to her. ”

The old man said kindly, and when several young couples heard about it, the daughter-in-law pinched her husband fiercely.

"You see, people are so old and so affectionate, and they still don't learn?"

"What are you studying, don't you eat enough on weekdays?"

The husband looked at the festive-looking daughter-in-law aggrievedly, and the people around him laughed.

The old man lifted the curtain of the carriage, walked into the carriage, and stuffed the avocado to a silver-haired old woman in front of him.

"Give. ”

The old woman took the avocado, her eyes had a brilliance that did not match her age, and she took a bite hatefully.

"I say, do we have to be mixed in this mortal convoy? The carriage is so slow, and it stops every now and then to rest, when will we get to the border?"

The old man's originally rickety back suddenly sat up straight when there was no one around, leaned on the body, and said casually.

"Do you have a better way, then? Now as you fly into the sky, you can see a patrol of monks from time to time, and everyone who passes by has to carefully check their identity. ”

"It's definitely not going to work, it's too eye-catching. It's a little slower to be mixed in this mortal convoy, but who would have thought that the princess of the dignified Middle Earth royal family would hide in a group of mortals and pretend to be an old woman?"

"Whether it's the people of the Heavenly Mirror Mansion or the major sects that have been recruited, no one will pay attention to such an inconspicuous mortal convoy. "Even if you have a point. ”

Ji Lanchu gritted her teeth, "Then there's no need to pretend to be a husband and wife, right?"

"Not satisfied? Then next time I'll pretend to be a rich boy, and you will be my maid. ”

Gu Chen closed his eyes.

"You want to be beautiful. Ji Lanchu rolled her eyes.

The two of them stopped talking, and Gu Chen cultivated silently.

His cultivation has been about to break through to the middle stage of Nirvana in the past few days, and if he hadn't been distracted every day to check if there are any monks in the outside world approaching, he would have been able to break through a few days earlier.

After reaching an agreement with Ji Lanchu, they quietly left the territory of the Yin Yang Sword Sect and headed for the border.

Along the way, the team of monks involved in the search for Her Royal Highness the princess became larger and larger, and Changhong flew around in the sky almost all the time, making the two very nervous.

Fortunately, after joining this mortal convoy, they did not attract the attention of any monks, slow is a little slower, but it is better to be safe.

The two of them have been living together in this narrow space in the car for several days, Gu Chen didn't feel anything, but Ji Lanchu felt more and more uncomfortable.

It was the first time she had been so close to a man, and occasionally in front of outsiders, she had to pretend to be a loving couple, which made her feel even more strange.

Although she cooperated with Gu Chen, she had always been a little wary of him, but fortunately, after a few days of getting along, she found that although he was not close to people, he was indeed not a villain.

Looking at Gu Chen, who was cultivating, Ji Lanchu couldn't help but think about it.

I wonder what kind of face this guy hides under the mask?

She knew very well that neither the appearance of the old man in front of her nor the ordinary face before was the true face of this guy.

A few more days passed.

Finally approaching the border, the convoy stopped to rest in a border town, and as soon as it entered the city, there were patrolling soldiers everywhere, and the smell of a storm was permeated.

"Have you heard? Princess Lan Chu was kidnapped by murderers, and it is said that her life and death are unknown at the moment!"

"The imperial court has used the forces of the entire Youzhou to find Princess Lanchu, and the border is now all blocked, and it is impossible to cross!"

As soon as they entered the city, they heard such a news, and a group of travelers who had originally crossed the border immediately complained bitterly.

In the crowd, Gu Chen and Ji Lanchu glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"You can't leave Middle-earth, what are you going to do now?" Gu Chen frowned.

"There's always a mistake in the hundreds, and I don't believe they can really seal the border so much. ”

Ji Lanchu's lips pursed.

"Well, you wait for me in the city, and I'll go and inquire about the news alone. ”

Seeing that this princess couldn't come up with any good ideas, Gu Chen sighed.

"You're not going to take the opportunity to escape, are you?"

Ji Lan was a little hesitant when she first came to the first place.

Right now, her only hope is Gu Chen, if he runs away, she can't do anything about him.

"If you don't believe me, our agreement can be canceled. ”

Gu Chen said calmly.

Ji Lanchu looked at his clear eyes and knew that she had no choice. "Okay, be careful, I'll be waiting for you in the city. If you don't come back, I won't leave!"

So Gu Chen went out of the city alone, performed the Three Transformations Phaseless Technique, and transformed into a middle-aged man.

Shout!

He burst through the air and headed straight for the border.

In the distance, he saw the boundary rise with a rainbow of light, stretching endlessly to the end of the horizon.

It was a huge magic circle, blocking all the borders within his sight, and teams of soldiers from the Heavenly Mirror Mansion were constantly patrolling back and forth.

He flew less than fifty miles before he encountered three waves of patrolling soldiers, and was interrogated for a long time.

With such a tight line of defense, it is impossible to break through!

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the soldiers, Gu Chen did not continue to inquire about the situation and returned to the previous small town.

"This city is forbidden!"

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Gu Chen saw a group of soldiers from the Tianjing Mansion blocking the perimeter, not allowing the people inside to leave the city, nor allowing the people outside to enter the city!

He had an ominous premonition, there must have been some accidents, right?

"We suspect that the murderer who kidnapped Princess Lan Chu is hiding in this city, and the whole city will be under martial law immediately, and everyone can only leave here if they confirm their identities!"

A majestic voice came from inside the city, and for a moment the people's resentment boiled.

"Boom-"

From the south of the city, there was a sudden sound of a terrible fight, accompanied by a coquettish shout.

"Ji Lanchu, exposed?"

Gu Chen's face changed!
