Chapter 1372: Surrounded
Ye Luo and Nalan Chen merely found a secluded spot to temporarily stay using the Vajra carriage as their abode.
However, Ye Luo still underestimated the Junior City Lord’s arrangements!
In fact, aside from manpower, the Junior City Lord also set up countless surveillance measures!
It can be said, unless Ye Luo and Nalan Chen never show up outside the city, their appearance would inevitably not escape surveillance!
Ye Luo was already quite cautious. When he showed up outside Nan Zhou City, he did not leave the carriage, nor did he show his face. Unfortunately, the sudden appearance of the carriage, and not entering the city, was sufficient to arouse suspicion.
...
"Constable, do you think the people the Junior City Lord wants could be in this carriage? I see nothing unusual about the carriage though!"
At night, a squad of horsemen was stealthily moving, indeed it was the City Lord’s Mansion constables who had noticed Ye Luo’s Vajra carriage and then prepared to come and capture people.
Constables, unlike guards, might be lesser in combat power and quality, but a dozen constables also represented a force not to be underestimated.
The head constable, hearing his subordinate’s words, shook his head helplessly and said, "You ask me, who shall I ask? Who knows what’s the deal with this carriage, stopping outside the city but not entering, isn’t that suspicious? Alright, everyone stay sharp, no matter who is inside that carriage, since we have been dispatched here, we just need to complete the task!"
"Got it!"
The constables responded in unison.
