Finally, they arrived at the south gate of Julu, where the guards stopped everyone.
"Oh, it's the Zhong brothers. What are you doing? Where are you going?"
The leading officer and soldier saw that he was an old acquaintance and couldn't help but ask a few questions.
"Master, we just received a business order and are preparing to transport these materials to the designated location."
Zhong Ming walked out of the team and spoke very respectfully.
The leading officer nodded, walked towards the carriage and the box, and said, "As you know, the whole city is looking for a man named Yu Yi, so the inspection will be stricter. I hope you will bear with me."
The two brothers had anticipated this. When the officers and soldiers walked to the supplies, they opened the lids of the box and the two barrels.
The officers and soldiers quickly saw the contents of the two barrels on the carriage. One of them contained water, and the other contained feces.
"Hey, what are you transporting? It stinks so much. Who is so boring that you actually let you transport feces? Are you transporting it back to eat?"
The stench from the excrement bucket had already caused all the officers and soldiers present to cover their noses. The leading officer and soldier seemed a little strange and complained a few times. Finally, he made some sarcasm, which made the surrounding officers and soldiers burst into laughter.
"Master, we are also a small business. You have to ask this customer why he wants to transport excrement."
Although he was being ridiculed, Zhong Heng still kept his expression and just said a few words in a neutral tone.
"How about it, what's in the other boxes?"
The leading officers and soldiers wanted to stay away from the smelly excrement barrels, so they just sent other officers and soldiers to check the contents of the remaining boxes.
"Report, there are some old clothes inside."
The officers and soldiers looked through the box as required and found that except for clothes, there was nothing else.
"Okay, quickly close the lid of the bucket and let it go!"
The leading officers and soldiers couldn't bear it anymore and asked to leave the city as soon as possible.
Knowing that they had passed the customs, the Zhong brothers quickly ordered the others to start again. They quickly passed through the south gate of Julu and then headed south.
"Really, I don't know who is so boring as to use feces as supplies. It's really unheard of!"
The leading officers and soldiers saw several people leaving quickly and sighed.
However, in the eyes of others, this matter is probably incomprehensible. This is where Yu Yi's brilliance lies.
Feeling that they were far away and there would be no more pursuers from Julu, Zhong Ming rode his horse to the carriage and said to the dung bucket: "Master Yuyi, we have already left the city, please come out quickly."
Hearing Zhong Ming's shout, Yu Yi quickly jumped out of the dung bucket. He was covered in excrement and his whole body stank.
Seeing a person jump out of the dung bucket, the five people brought out by the Zhong family brothers showed their weapons and entered a state of alert because they did not know the situation in advance.
"We are all our own people, you don't need to panic!"
Zhong Ming walked up to the five people and eased the atmosphere.
Under Zhong Ming's explanation, others also learned about the plan. It turned out that this was Yu Yi's idea. Since the whole city was under martial law, the search would be very strict. If he hid it in an ordinary dart box, he would definitely be discovered, so he did the opposite and hid it in a barrel. And it was a cesspool that everyone avoided. In fact, judging from the state of the leading officers and soldiers, this thing did work.
Hiding in a dung bucket for such a long time is not something ordinary people can bear. Fortunately, Yu Yi has read the "Five Animal Plays" presented by Hua Tuo. Combined with his own inner strength from cultivation, he lengthened the time he could hold his breath and just held on. It starts from entering the south gate search range and ends some distance outside the south gate.
Fortunately, the guard's inspection speed is faster. If other emergencies occur, the secret will definitely be revealed.
After Yu Yi came out of the dung bucket, he looked back at the south gate of Julu, feeling a sense of joy after a disaster. He wanted to go to Zhong Ming to thank him, but he walked away.
"I said we should pay more attention, this stinks too much, I can't talk to you!"
Zhong Ming covered his nose and made a disgusted expression.
Seeing Zhong Ming's expression, Yu Yi realized that he had been in the dung bucket for a long time, got used to the smell, and was so overwhelmed with joy that he temporarily forgot about his state.
"Okay, I'll ask them to put a piece of cloth over for you. You go and wash yourself quickly."
At this time, Zhong Heng also came over and suggested to Yu Yi.
So everyone used the ropes they brought to spread some cloth strips from the dart box near the carriage, and temporarily created a single room. Yu Yi used the water in another bucket to clean himself, and then put on the box. The new clothes he took out were completely brand new.
Yuyi helped everyone unload the buckets of clean water from the carriage, and then moved the dung bucket to the middle of the carriage, so that the carriage's load-bearing capacity was reduced by half. Then he packed up the ropes and strips of cloth and set off with everyone.
"Do you really plan to transport this dung bucket to Daoxiang Village?"
Seeing that Yuyi had no intention of abandoning the dung bucket, Zhong Heng looked very confused and asked.
"Hey, you don't know something. Ever since the refugees entered Daoxiang Village, the lives of the villagers have been in difficulty. Later, I suggested that after resettling the refugees, I would encourage them to open up wasteland to the west of Daoxiang Village to form farmland, but there was little harvest. They After judging the condition of the land, it was no different from the existing cultivated land. I thought there might be a problem with the fertilizer, so I went out of the city this time as a last-minute idea to give them a surprise."
Yuyi explained.
"I didn't expect that Brother Yuyi is not only good at agriculture, but also has deep martial arts skills. He is really a rare talent."
After listening to the explanation, Zhong Heng felt enlightened and quickly changed his view on Yu Yi.
"The bell guard has won a prize."
Yu Yi cupped his hand in return for Zhong Heng's compliment.
So Yu Yi followed the escort team and drove towards Daoxiang Village. He was riding a horse among the Zhong brothers, looking very happy.
Different from the previous situation, Yu Yi and others saw far fewer refugees on the road as they walked all the way from Julu South Gate, and it was even rarer to see wandering bandits.
"You must have walked this official road many times. You will encounter some special situations when you are away all year round. Aren't you afraid?"
Yu Yi looked at the relatively flat official road, feeling a little emotional in his heart and asked.
"Every profession has its own rules. Since we are in the escort industry, we should do it well."
Before Yuyi asked, the two of them had not thought about this question, so their answers were relatively simple.
"Hey, that's right. We are just a drop in the ocean, why do we need to think so much?"
Yuyi raised his head and looked up at the sky. After the disaster of Julu, he felt the insignificance of personal power. As the saying goes, people can plan things, but God can make things happen.
