    The chaotic sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the wilderness.

    ??Looking at the rising smoke, there are at least a dozen horses galloping.

    After all, Gao Wu was from the Qi family army and was always vigilant.  Immediately, a whistle was blown, and a dozen strong men from Caijiaxiang immediately jumped out of the carriage, pulled out iron rods from their waists, and protected Zhao Hao's car.

    "What's going on?" Zhao Hao stuck his head out and looked from a distance.

    "There are more than a dozen people chasing one on horseback." Gao Wu just organized his words.

    "Isn't it a horse thief?" Hua Shuyang asked worriedly.

    "Where is this place? Why are there horse thieves?" Wang Wuyang rolled his eyes at him.

    "It's hard to say, the martial law in the capital was lifted just last month." Wu Kangyuan glanced worriedly at the group of people getting closer and closer, and held his sword tightly.  "It's hard to guarantee that there will be horse thieves pretending to be Tatars and causing rebellion."

    This is why Gao Wu is so vigilant. The northern border of the Ming Dynasty has never been peaceful!  The emperor guarding the country is not just a lie

    A dozen men from Caijiaxiang were drilled repeatedly by Gao Wu along the way to prepare for this kind of situation.

    When Gao Wu and his men formed a formation using the carriage as a barrier, the knights were already approaching.

    Everyone held their breath and stood ready, but after the leading knight passed by the convoy, the rest of the group followed closely and roared away without even looking at Zhao Hao and the others.

    It turned out to be a false alarm.

    As for why those people ran away and why they chased them, that is not what Zhao Hao and the others need to worry about.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s the right thing to go into town before dark.

    ??~~

    It is already past noon.

    Tongzhou is forty miles away from the capital, and the carriages in the ice and snow are so slow that it takes more than two hours to drive quickly.

    Everyone wants to reach the capital before dark, otherwise the city gates will be closed and they will have to freeze outside all night, which will be fatal.

    But the more anxious they were, the more things went counterproductive. Only when they got halfway, they encountered a traffic jam.

    Looking at the endless carriages and horses in front of him, Zhao Hao almost went crazy. Has there been traffic jam in Beijing since the Ming Dynasty?

    "Go and see what's going on!"

    He gave the order, and a man from Caijiaxiang ran forward. After drinking tea, he ran back panting to report.

    "My lord, my lord, there are officials from Shuntian Prefecture ahead of us who have set up a checkpoint to check the car."

    ¡®Do I need to apply for a Beijing Entry Permit?  ¡¯ Zhao Hao secretly complained in his heart, frowned and asked: ¡°What are they checking? Are they collecting taxes?¡±

    "It doesn't look like that. He seems to be looking for something." The man served as a scout when he was a soldier and saw more things than the average person.  "I think there are not many real official servants, most of them look like rich slaves from someone's family."

    "I'm afraid it has something to do with what happened just now." Zhao Hao sighed softly. It was not his turn to act mischievously in Beijing yet, so he could only move forward slowly in line.

    After waiting in the cold wind for more than half an hour, Zhao Hao and the others saw clearly that more than a hundred steps ahead, there were four or five official officers with bird feathers on their hats. Led by an official wearing a sixth-grade uniform, they stopped them.  A carriage entering Beijing.

    But those who came forward to search the vehicle were not the officials, but some fierce-looking warriors wearing colorful costumes.

    It seems that something did happen, something terrible.

    Zhao Hao was not in the mood for daydreams, he just wanted to get past this section quickly, but unexpectedly there was a quarrel ahead.

    And you can¡¯t just turn a blind eye.

    Because one of them is Ying Tianlai's son.

    When Zhao Hao and others got off the carriage, they saw the excited Shi Jinchen, Tang Hezheng and others blocking the warriors, preventing them from getting close to the carriage.

    "Are you blind? Didn't you see that this is a bus with a yellow flag, and the government is not allowed to search it!"

    "That's right, let us go quickly. Will we freeze to death if the city gate is closed?!"

    Those well-dressed warriors were also anxious, but who dared to be rough with the Emperor¡¯s disciples at the Emperor¡¯s feet?

    They then turned their attention to the official from the sixth grade.

    The official secretly cried out that he was unlucky, took out his ticket, shook it at the candidates and said: "I am a recommended official from Shuntian Prefecture, and I have been given the order to check all vehicles entering Beijing!"

    "This yellow flag is a convenience given to us by the emperor. No one has checked it from south to north, and you, Shuntian Mansion, can't check it either!"

    " If we follow Zhao Hao's idea, if Shuntian Mansion wants to investigate, then just do it. The only thing we should do is to finish the investigation as soon as possible and get on the road.

    But people attach great importance to the privileges brought by this yellow flag, as if it is related to their dignity, and it is not tolerated at all.quantity.  Each of them refused to give an inch, and angrily accused Shuntian Mansion of overstepping its authority. As a result, more and more people gathered, blocking the half of the road out of the city.

    Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a group of people who were going to Tongzhou came closer.

    Seeing that the officials and the judges were arguing endlessly and the whole road was blocked, the leading guard fired the quiet street cannon.

    There was a bang, startling everyone.

    But the amazing thing is that both sides, who were so arrogant, actually lost their temper.

    Because the only people who are qualified to blow the trumpet, apart from state and county officials who are close to the people, are senior officials above the fourth rank.

    The official turned around quickly and was startled.

    It turned out that the guard riding on a tall horse had an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and a corner of his flying fish suit was exposed under his burqa.

    He is actually an officer of the Imperial Guard.

    Although the reputation of Jinyiwei has declined greatly since Lu Bing's death.  But this dignified imperial guard was actually just acting as a guard for those behind him

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The only persons from the royal family, besides the cabinet bachelors and the seven ministers, can be employed as guards.

    ??~~

    No matter which one, it is something that a little push official like him cannot afford to offend.  He hurriedly ordered people to clear the road and stepped forward to explain with a smile.

    The Jin Yiwei is just a guard, and the real owner is a brother and sister surrounded by more than a dozen well-dressed guards.

    "It turns out to be the young lord and the county lord of the eldest princess's residence." The official quickly bowed and saluted.

    The so-called young lord and the county lord were dressed in majestic hunting attire. One was riding a black horse and the other was riding a red horse. They were both famous horses with no mottled colors on their bodies, strong bodies and slender limbs.

    Both of their faces were covered with thick beeswax to protect them from the cold, and they wore tight winter clothes that only exposed their mouths and noses. Their specific appearance and age could not be discerned.

    They patiently listened to the official¡¯s explanation, and the way out was cleared by the official.

    The young prince shook his riding whip and said, "Let's go and do your errands."

    By the sound of his voice, he sounds like he is sixteen or seventeen years old.

    The entourage obeyed the order, surrounded the two men, and headed east.

    When passing by those candidates, the county chief suddenly saw the yellow flag on the carriage, and couldn't help but said coldly to the official: "Even I know that the official vehicles of the candidates cannot be searched, and you Shuntian Prefecture is too overbearing in doing things.  "

    "Sister, please mind your own business." The young prince looked at his sister helplessly and urged, "If it's too late, we won't be able to reach the hunting ground."

    "It won't take long." The county chief's voice sounded more immature, but she had a chivalrous temperament. She rolled her eyes at her brother and said: "The princes have traveled far and wide, and have gone through a lot of hardships to finally reach the capital. We are greeted like this."  They? It¡¯s my uncle¡¯s face that¡¯s been embarrassed, but you still don¡¯t care when you see it?¡±

    "Okay, okay, I'll take care of it." The young prince seemed to be afraid of his sister, so he turned his head with a wry smile, glared at the official and said, "Hurry up and let her go!"

    "Yes" The official obviously did not dare to offend the brother and sister, so he waved his hand and ordered the official to get out of the way.

    Those warriors were still unwilling to give in, but the official glared hard at them and told them not to act rashly.
