The lockdown in the Mystic Army City had not been lifted yet, but the Nine Gates Patrol Division had already received an order from the Profound Emperor, and the Nine Gates Custom Order to prevent Lu Ping from escaping had been stopped.
Lu Ping had already been taken down?
The soldiers of the Nine Gates Patrol Division still didn't know what had happened at the Protectorate Nation, and didn't know what the Profound Emperor's group was doing. They only thought that Lu Ping had been taken down, so there was no need to continue the custom order.
But the lockdown in the capital city hadn't been lifted yet, right? Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. At this moment, above the city walls of the Nanjiang Estuary, the soldiers guarding the nine gates saw a light boat floating on the river, following the current and heading towards the Nanjiang Estuary.
"Who is it?" The former commander of the Nan River Estuary, Wei Liang, had died, and the deputy commander who was temporarily in charge of this area opened his eyes wide and looked towards the small boat. He saw a young man and a young woman, and when he saw their faces clearly, he immediately panicked.
"Lu Ping!" He suddenly shouted in shock, and the soldiers on the wall quickly picked up their weapons, and the archers all pulled their bowstrings to the fullest.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! "The deputy commander hurriedly said the word 'wait' four times. This person was without a doubt Lu Ping, so what did the order to stop the custom order mean? Were they going to let Lu Ping go?
Everyone looked at the deputy commander, but he didn't dare to take on such a heavy responsibility. He was frantically asking for instructions from his superiors, hoping that there was still time. At this time, the order from the Nine Gates Admiral Wei Ping Yi finally arrived, and there were only two words: Let them go.
Who could be let go?
If it was a normal day, this vague order would make things difficult for his subordinates. But at this moment, there was no other possibility.
"Keep it, keep it." The deputy commander ordered the soldiers on the wall to put away their attacking stance, and at the same time, he ordered the river surface to let the small boat floating over.
On the river, rows of warships had already sealed off the entrance to the city. When they saw the light boat floating over, everyone was ready for battle. Now that they received the order, although they were confused, the battleships still lined up and revealed an exit on the river surface.
But this small boat just floated down with the current, and Lu Ping didn't know how to paddle at all, so it didn't go for the exit. Instead, it floated under a big ship, and started pecking at it with the bow.
Lu Ping pushed the hull of the ship and fiddled with the oars. He didn't know what to do.
The people on the ship were the navy of the Xuan Army Empire. They had already seen the problem, but they did not know what to do. Could they send someone to help Lu Ping steer the ship?
But at this time, Lu Ping already helped Su Tang up, and jumped, and landed on the big ship.
The navy soldiers on the ship were shocked and unconsciously wanted to defend themselves, but were stopped by the officer on the ship.
Lu Ping landed on the ship with Su Tang. He showed an apologetic smile to the soldiers, who had dispersed, and said, "Excuse me."
The commander on the ship didn't say anything, and gestured to Lu Ping to help himself.
Lu Ping didn't immediately leave with Su Tang, but stood on the bow of the ship, and searched the river surface. He was looking for the ship that they had boarded. He quickly found that ship, and it was docked by the shore.
"Let's go there." Lu Ping said to Su Tang. Then, he didn't just borrow from this ship. Starting from this ship, he headed north, and all the other ships that blocked the river surface became Lu Ping and Su Tang's bridge. After passing through ship after ship of dumbstruck navy soldiers, the two finally stepped onto the shore. They then walked towards the official ship of the Duty Department.
"We came on that ship." Lu Ping said to Su Tang.
"Morin and the others aren't still on the ship, are they?" Su Tang said.
"They're probably hiding. Let's go see if they'll run out themselves." Lu Ping said.
All the passengers on this ship had been severely interrogated because of Lu Ping. Xiao Quan, the young master of a large family in Jialing City, didn't dare show off his status. He only said a few words and was beaten black and blue by the Nine Gates Patrol Division.
At this time, all the passengers on the ship, whether they were ordinary people, Proficient Practitioners like Xiao Quan, or even the officials of the Duty Division, were squatting on the shore with their hands over their heads. On the side were the people of the Nine Gates Patrol Division. Then, they saw the culprit who had broken into the city disembark from the Xuan Army Navy warship as if there was no one else around, with a girl by his side. Everyone's eyes almost fell to the ground.
What was going on?
Young Master Xiao Quan of Jialing, whose three spirits were connected, thought he had seen the world, but he couldn't figure out what kind of status Lu Ping had. How could he come back after intruding into the Xuan Jun City, as if no one was there, and he even brought a girl with him?
Was he … picking up a girl?
The young master's imagination ran wild, but looking at Su Tang's bruised and dirty appearance, he immediately felt that he must be thinking too much.
The key was the jackals of the Nine Gates Patrol Division. The culprit was right in front of them, but why was everyone as quiet as a chicken, not making a sound?
When Lu Ping approached them, he swept his gaze over the crowd, but he didn't see Mo Linfang among them. He also didn't know who the leader of the Nine Gates Patrol Division was, so he could only wave to the nearest one and say, "It has nothing to do with them, we sneaked on this ship ourselves."
Good people!
The passengers who were squatting on the floor with their hands over their heads were moved to tears. They were worried about how they would be dealt with in the end, but no one thought that the culprit would appear like this and personally prove their innocence.
Someone was about to stand up excitedly, but was immediately stopped by the fierce eyes of the Nine Gates Patrol Division. Everyone could see that the Nine Gates Patrol Division didn't show any friendliness to Lu Ping, but mostly showed helplessness.
So who on earth was he?
With everyone's curiosity, Lu Ping and Su Tang were ready to leave. The passengers on the same ship were interrogated, but no one revealed to them that the intruder was Lu Ping, who was wanted by the Xuan Army Empire.
Seeing the two figures getting further away, a group of people were still squatting on the shore, and then they saw the officers of the Nine Gates Patrol Division gathered together to discuss a few words, and then finally waved their hands, ignoring these people.
Some people immediately sat on the ground, some stood up and moved their numb bodies. The people of the Nine Gates Patrol Division didn't just disperse, and the navy warships on the river didn't retreat. Lu Ping and Su Tang continued walking northward. Everyone was paying attention to them secretly, but they all seemed to ignore them. The atmosphere was quite odd. Lu Ping and Su Tang continued walking north.
Then everyone heard Lu Ping's shout.
"Morin!"
"Fang Yizhu!"
"Where is he? Get ready to leave. "
The Nine Gates Patrol Division tried to search for the whereabouts of Lu Ping's companions, but to no avail. But now, Lu Ping had unexpectedly shouted in such a manner. The expressions of the people of the Nine Gates Patrol Division were extremely unnatural. They didn't understand why Lu Ping was so arrogant, but the order from the Admiral strictly forbade them to have any conflict with Lu Ping, and it was said that this was an order from the Xuan Emperor himself.
So what on earth happened? The curiosity in the hearts of the people outside the city was the same.
At this time, there was finally a response to Lu Ping's shout. The one who stood up was not Morin, not Fang Yizhu, not Ling Ziyan, but an ordinary soldier wearing the uniform of the Nine Gates Patrol Division. He wasn't with his companions, but appeared alone in this small forest where he shouldn't be.
"If you want your companions to live, do as I say," he said coldly, and threw something over.
Lu Ping caught it and recognized that it was Morin's steel drill.
"Okay," Lu Ping replied. His figure flickered, and he appeared in front of the man.
"You …" That person only managed to say one word before his head was pressed down by Lu Ping.
"I didn't …" He quickly said again, but this time he only shouted four words before he found that he couldn't continue. His neck was already broken.
He fell down, his eyes full of disbelief. With a hostage in hand, he thought that Lu Ping wouldn't dare to do anything. But Lu Ping acted so quickly, and he wanted to threaten Lu Ping, but he found that Lu Ping didn't threaten him at all and directly killed him.
"What do we do?" Su Tang asked.
"Don't worry." Lu Ping said, and spread out his hearing perception.
One, two …
In the forest, he sensed that two soul powers were hurriedly retreating. Probably because of panic, both of them made sounds.
As a result, two Flying Sound Slashes chased after the two insignificant sounds.
