When the two of them saw the city gate, a huge horn sounded, and a colorful translucent barrier flashed across the sky.
Zhao Meiji's expression changed and she said, "The city defense formation has been activated, we can't get out."
The two of them immediately raced into the carriage house next to them and put the horses in place. Taking advantage of the early dawn when there were few people around, Zhao Wuji followed Zhao Meiji through several streets, climbed over the wall and entered a small courtyard, and then hid in a room. Zhao Meiji was the one who He said, "I don't know what happened. This courtyard was the former property of a wealthy businessman in the Imperial Capital. He met me in the Imperial Capital and knew that I was coming to Jiangnan, so he entrusted me to help him deal with it."
The two practiced quietly in the property for a day. In the evening, they changed clothes and walked to the street disguised as ordinary people. Before the situation was clear, Zhao Meiji was disguised as a man and walked with Zhao Wuji.
After staying in a suite at a mid-range inn, the two of them were still confused about the news they learned at the snack bar. Shortly after the city was closed, Zhao Wuji's palace was attacked by the Red Army, the second killer group in mankind.
According to the news heard at the restaurant, the city was closed because the Yala Empire's army suddenly conquered the city, and the city defense array was activated for air defense needs.
After this kind of large formation is activated, unless there is very large siege equipment, the attack will be ineffective for a year and a half, which is enough to wait for Zhao's army to come to the rescue. The disadvantage is that once this kind of city sealing formation is activated, all conventional communications will be blocked. It will also be interrupted immediately by interference. But the reason why the Red Army attacked the palace is unknown.
Zhao Meiji's suggestion is that it is better not to expose it in the short term, because the royal family's top secret document only informs her to take people away without even saying the reason. There must be something extremely detrimental to Zhao Wuji, and this factor is in Jiangnan. Inside.
Zhao Wuji believed in Zhao Yun, and Zhao Meiji did not doubt his character, but she still did not dare to expose him, because the puppetry, charm, and other inexplicable abilities in this world were difficult to guard against.
Zhao Wuji couldn't help but think of the dream talk of the patron saint of the Yala Empire. If the Yala Empire surrendered to the demon clan, then it would not be as simple as dealing with the Yala barbarian empire in Jiangnan.
In this wild land, there are many monsters and monsters, and the monster clan is still a relatively powerful existence. As for humans, except for the fortress in Jiangnan, they are more than a thousand miles away from Anxi Fortress in the west and Xiadu City in the south. If we hurry up, it will take half a month to arrive. If we are surrounded by reinforcements, it may take three to five months to arrive. It is relatively close to the capital of the Barbarian Empire. The ordinary troops of the Barbarian Empire can easily cross the Xueyan Mountain, but it is difficult to carry heavy equipment.
When the two of them undressed and rested at night, the city defense army conducted a night check. All the barbarians were cleared and taken away as long as they were not purely human. However, seeing that they were not elves, dwarves, or barbarians, they did not check them carefully.
Zhao Meiji is Ji Xiaozhao, who made up a fictional identity as a businessman in the imperial capital. Even if Ji Wuzhao got through, there are still a lot of cards and wooden blocks in Zhao Meiji's Misu Ring to prove her identity, so she can write whatever she wants.
When the city defense officer left, he kindly whispered to Zhao Meiji, "Girl, you need to pay attention to safety when you go out, but your men's clothing is too bad."
Zhao Meiji contacted Zhao Yun through risky means, and then Zhao Yun, who put on makeup, personally handed a letter to Zhao Meiji and left in a hurry.
After returning to the inn, Zhao Wuji and I read the letter together. It turned out that the top brass of the city defense army had received an anonymous open letter. The letter contained evidence that Zhao Wuji had colluded with the demon clan.
As the commander of the city defense army, Zhao Yun could naturally handle such matters in normal times, but now that he was facing a joint siege by the barbarian army and the demon clan, he naturally could not stand on the opposite side of organizations such as the Demon Suppression Tower Branch. The Demon Suppression Tower is a representative of human justice, and the branch in Jiangnan, Jiangnan, also has a strong ability to hunt monsters.
The letter suggested that it would be safe for the two of them not to expose their identities before the Zhao army came to rescue them, because Zhao Yun said that based on the two war horses found at the Nanmen Carriage and Horse Show, the two had already left the fortress of Jiangnan before the city was closed.
