All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Chapter 174 Who won’t let anyone go?

On the fifth day after Xia Chan and his companions left Chang'an, they received news from Chang'an.

Because Xia Chan had expected Xia Yongyan to escape, the two were not too surprised.

Compared to Xia Yongyan's escape, Xia Chan was more surprised by Xia Yongsheng's death.

You have to know that Xia Yongyan has always treated his younger brother like his own son.

If he really wanted to escape from prison, he could still take Xia Yongsheng with him.

I just don't know what happened between Xia Yongyan and Xia Yongsheng? Why did Xia Yongyan not care about his brother's life or death?

This is what Xia Chan was curious about.

"How about I ask someone to look for it?"

Xie Lin suggested.

Xia Chan shook his head.

"No, when he doesn't want to show up, no one else can find him."

The reason why Xia Chan mentioned other people was because he knew that Xia Yongyan would most likely escape to the headquarters of the Divine Grace Religion.

Ordinary people really can't get close to that strange cult.

Xie Lin's subordinates are quite skilled, and each of them can even fight ten people at the same time. However, in the Divine Grace Church, good skills are not necessarily useful.

Xie Lin frowned and was about to say something when they were both scolded by a voice.

"Stop, you two, what are you doing?"

They were stopped by a small group of soldiers.

They held sabers in their hands, looked at the two young men in front of them (Xia Chan had also changed into men's clothes for the convenience of traveling), drew out their swords and stopped them.

"There's a war going on right now, and you two don't go register for the army. Where are you trying to escape to now?"

Because there are wars everywhere and things are in chaos, conscription is very strict now.

In many villages, the conscription age has even been raised to fifty or fifteen years old.

As long as the man falls within this age group, he will be forced to serve in the military.

What a coincidence, the small team that Xia Chan and his friends met today were the ones who went to the countryside to capture people to serve in the army.

Then Xia Chan and the others happened to meet again.

Inevitably, the two of them became conscription targets.

Facing the officers and soldiers who were approaching aggressively, Xie Lin looked at Xia Chan.

They were both dressed very simply.

At this time, anyone with a sound mind would not walk around in fancy clothes.

So Xia Chan and Xie Lin were both wearing coarse farmer's clothes and looked like ordinary farmers.

Xie Lin’s big body makes him look more similar.

Xia Chan intentionally padded her shoulders, but she still looked petite.

Someone from the team of soldiers in front of her put his hand on her shoulder and said jokingly, "Could she be a woman?"

Now those soldiers who hold higher positions may have better qualities.

Those with low official positions, like the soldiers in front of us, have very poor quality.

Not only is his quality poor, but his character is also poor.

After suspecting that Xia Chan might be a woman, the other people also turned their attention to Xia Chan.

Some even clamored for Xia Chan to take off her clothes so that they could see whether she was a woman.

"If you are a woman, and you make us brothers happy, then maybe we will let your man go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the people burst into laughter.

The corners of Xia Chan's lips also curved slightly.

She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Lin.

She said in a delicate voice: "Husband, are they bullying me?"

A soft and sweet voice sounded, and the officers and soldiers around were stunned.

She's actually a woman?

Joy appeared in their eyes, and before they could take off Xia Chan's clothes, they saw a flash of silver light before their eyes.

The three or four officers and soldiers surrounding Xia Chan all held their necks and stared with wide eyes.

Xie Lin reached out and took Xia Chan into his arms.

"You're not scared, are you, Chanchan?"

The question was whether she was scared about someone killing someone in front of her.

Xia Chan shook his head and smiled: "No."

The other few people were also shocked when they saw Xie Lin took care of their people in an instant.

Some people only have lustful thoughts but lack courage, and their legs tremble with fear.

With a puff, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xie Lin and the others.

"Please spare my life, sir! We have no intention of offending you, it is us who are blind. Please, sir, spare my life!"

These soldiers were not selected through a formal and strict selection process.

But some people even if.

So their skills vary.

The reason why they dare to run rampant in the village so boldly is simply because they rely on their large numbers.

Meeting a real ruthless character like Xie Lin at this moment, they would have been scared out of their wits.

Xie Lin didn't say anything.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms.

He listened to her.

Xia Chan stepped forward with a smile: "Whose people are you? The dog emperor Yuan Che? Or other vassal kings?"

This area is two hundred miles outside Chang'an.

This place has people from the imperial court as well as people from other vassal kings.

Xia Chan looked at the soldiers in uniform in front of him and asked who they belonged to.

"We...we are your majesty's...the court's soldiers."

Although they didn't know why Xia Chan asked this, they still answered every question.

There was no way. The shock of the instant death of the brothers in front of them was too great for them.

They are afraid!

I'm so scared.

Xia Chan nodded and didn't bother with them.

"You go."

"what?"

Happiness came too suddenly, and these officers and soldiers were unable to react. They didn't know how they could leave suddenly?

Xia Chan raised an eyebrow: "Not leaving?"

"Do you still want to keep your life?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the soft sword in Xie Lin's hand dropped, as if he was about to take action.

Several officers and soldiers were so frightened that they quickly got up and ran away rolling and crawling.

Watching them fleeing in panic, Xia Chan was not worried that they would call for revenge.

This is probably the reason why people with great skills tend to be bolder?

So she could let these people go without any scruples and without worrying that they would pose a threat to her!

After a brief interlude, Xia Chan and his friends continued on their journey.

The officers and soldiers returned to the barracks. They became more and more frightened the more they thought about it, so they found their superiors and told them about the two strange people they met on the road to the mountain village.

The officer in charge knew immediately that Xia Chan and Xie Lin’s identities were not simple.

Thinking of the uproar in Chang'an City some time ago, he frowned and gave up his plan to send people to hunt down the culprit.

If those two people are really the Third Master of the Xie Family and the Eldest Miss of the Xia Family, then it would be useless even if a hundred people were sent to hunt them down.

Rather than making enemies with them and losing your life in vain, it is better to pretend that you don't know.

So, the incident in which Xia Chan and her companions encountered the imperial soldiers and killed three or four soldiers who wanted to attack her ended up in nothing.

In the evening, they arrived outside Runan City.

Runan City is located on the east side of Chang'an. It is a very prosperous city. But now, this city has been occupied by one of the vassal kings.

This person was none other than Yuan Zhao, an old acquaintance of Xia Chan and the others.

They had celebrated festivals in Yuanzhao's fiefdom.

If you pass by here this time, would you like to visit an old friend?
