This was also the first time Luo Ping and the girl in white had heard of this legend. They were both moved by the unwavering love between Pei Yuru and Meng Shaoxuan. They were both envious and sad.
"Why can't people who love each other end up as a couple? Why is the heavens so heartless? "The girl in white was unable to control her emotions.
"Correction, it's not the heavens that are heartless. The heartless ones are his parents and his family's mission." Luo Ping analyzed objectively.
"Hmph, I know this, but I just can't let it go!" The girl in white was still unable to let it go.
In the evening, the sky gradually darkened. Luo Ping and the girl in white returned to the inn. After finishing their meal, they prepared to sleep.
Luo Ping casually made a mattress on the ground. After lying down for a while, he fell into a deep sleep. The girl in white was lying on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
Tossing and turning, she let her imagination run wild. She looked sideways at the sleeping face under the bed. She felt that everything was so unreal, but it really happened.
Suddenly, Luo Ping opened his eyes. The girl in white was so scared that she immediately closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. Luo Ping walked to the back window and secretly looked down. In the backyard of the inn, a caravan was pushing a carriage in.
The innkeeper brought them here, took the silver, and left.
The caravan members pushed more than 20 carriages into the backyard one after another.
The girl in white also walked to the window to observe.
"I keep feeling that these merchants are not normal. Let's go and take a look." Luo Ping said.
Thus, the two of them took advantage of the night and quietly made their way to the entrance of the backyard to observe in secret. During this time, Luo Ping counted a total of 23 carriages and each carriage had a large box on it.
"Strange, the competition is approaching and the imperial capital is completely sealed off. These caravans shouldn't be able to enter the imperial capital. Why would they bring so many carriages here?" Luo Ping was very puzzled.
"Maybe they are not here to enter the imperial capital? Maybe they are here to do business in Biyi City. Let's go back. "The girl in white was not interested at all.
Although Luo Ping felt that something was amiss, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he prepared to return to the inn.
"Open the box and get some fresh air. Don't suffocate him to death. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain."
"Yes, Big Brother."
Their conversation pulled Luo Ping and the other two back to the present.
Everyone in the caravan opened the boxes one by one, revealing the space inside. Surprisingly, there was a person inside each box. However, all of them were tied up. Not only were their mouths sealed, but they were also unconscious.
"Big Brother, what value do you think these people have? Why do you insist on keeping them alive?" A voice asked.
Sitting not far from the carriage, a big man with a face full of beard said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. We're just getting paid to do the job. Once the person is here, the job is done. Besides, I don't know what's the point of capturing them. "
"Yes, Big Brother. When are we going to enter the city?" the man asked again.
"Let's rest for an hour. When the time comes, we will continue our journey. We will reach the Tiandu City in an hour. When we enter the city through the side door, someone will open the door for us." The big man with the beard closed his eyes and rested.
The others also found a place to sit or lie down to relieve the fatigue of the day.
"Let's go back first. When they set off, we will secretly follow them and find out what's going on." Luo Ping thought for a while and said.
Therefore, the two returned to the inn and waited for the time to come.
At the same time, caravans of different numbers appeared in various small towns near the imperial capital. All of them were pushing dozens of carriages with boxes on them.
The imperial palace was located in the Tiandu City, one of the four counties of the imperial city in the Bazhou. Anyone who wanted to enter the imperial capital would have to pass through the city gate of the Tiandu City.
Therefore, these caravans gathered near the imperial capital. When the appointed time came, they would enter the city through the side door of the Tiandu City together. No one would know.
… … …
Adjacent to Biyi City was Hongfeng City, and it was also a second-rate town. At this moment, there were two people chatting within an abandoned and dilapidated temple in Hongfeng City.
"So, you were also ambushed and the others were captured?" A young man's voice sounded.
"Yes, if I wasn't proficient in water and jumped into a river to escape, I'm afraid I would have been captured." The other young man's voice also sounded.
The first voice said again, "It seems like these people are targeting us who are participating in the competition. Moreover, they only captured and didn't kill us. Their purpose must be impure."
"That's right, Big Brother Yuan. Since we were lucky enough to escape, we must find a way to save the others." The second voice said again.
"Brother Yuntian, it's not that I don't want to, but it's easier said than done to save people. Not to mention that we don't know the purpose of the enemy and where they are now, just their strength is not something the two of us can deal with. "
One of them was actually Luo Yuntian, and the other was a handsome young man from the Chi Province called Yuan Dong. Both of them were blessed with good luck and managed to escape the clutches of the devil.
The two of them fled all the way and entered Hongfeng City one after the other. Due to both of them having misgivings in their hearts and coupled with the fact that they were physically and mentally exhausted, they couldn't help but be distracted as they traveled, and they actually bumped into each other.
The two people who should have been extremely angry looked up and saw each other's dusty face, ragged clothes, and haggard appearance. They immediately laughed involuntarily. The two people who were in the same boat actually sympathized with each other and started to chat.
As they conversed, they discovered that both of them were martial artists who had participated in the 'Battle for Champion'. After probing each other, they found out that both of them had encountered the same fate.
So the two of them hurriedly found a run-down temple and discussed this matter in detail.
Hearing Yuan Dong's words, Luo Yuntian was just about to speak when the sound of a carriage could be heard coming from outside. The two of them exchanged a glance before hurriedly hiding behind the dilapidated temple.
After a while, a group of thirty to forty people entered the ruined temple.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
At 1 AM, in Biyi City, Luo Ping and Yuan Dong were following the caravan from afar.
After exiting the city gate, the caravan set off straight for Tiandu City. After an hour, they finally saw the city gate tower of Tiandu City through the light of the fire.
Magnificent, grand, majestic, magnificent.
Before they even got close, they discovered that the side door of the city gate tower was wide open, and countless figures were pushing carriages in.
When the caravan that Luo Ping followed approached, a group of soldiers immediately came up to greet them.
"Do the people in front have a token?" A captain of the soldiers asked.
The leader of the caravan didn't say anything and directly took out a token from his waist and threw it over.
After taking a look at the token, the captain of the soldiers dodged.
"Go in, be careful."
Then, a soldier walked out and began to lead the way. The caravan people pushed the carriages and followed in.
No one noticed that at the back of the caravan, there were two young men who were pushing the carriages with an unnatural expression.
From 1 AM to 1 AM, within two hours, more than two hundred caravans entered Tiandu City through the side door.
… … …
At the border between Fengyuan Nation and Daao Nation, millions of soldiers had already gathered. They were in an orderly formation, waiting for an order to sweep through Fengyuan Nation.
The few counties near the border were already prepared to defend to the death. No matter what, they had to hold on until the main force of the Imperial Capital arrived.
On the city gate tower of Nandan County, Luo Haoyu and the three Luo Mingshuang brothers were looking at the black mass in the distance. Their expression was solemn and they remained silent.
After a long time, Luo Haoyu finally asked, "Minglei, the letter asking for help has been sent out, right?"
"Yes, it was sent out a day ago. If there are no accidents, it will reach the Imperial Capital in three or four days," Luo Minglei replied.
Luo Haoyu glanced around the city gate tower and said again, "I hope the Monarch can send reinforcements as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the counties at the border are breached, the Imperial Capital will be in danger."
The marquises of the other counties were also anxiously waiting for news of the Imperial Capital's reinforcements.
… … …
After the caravan entered the side gate, they followed the soldiers who led them to the right and left twice. Soon, they arrived in front of a dark and gloomy building.
After pushing the carts in, they found that it was a prison. There was a spacious walkway in the middle, and there were countless rooms on both sides. The doors of the rooms were specially made with fences that could withstand the attacks of cultivators below the Martial King Realm.
The rooms extended very far. There were more than 300 rooms, and there were three more walkways on both sides. It was obvious that the prison was very big.
At this moment, the prison in front of the caravan was basically filled with people. There were seven to eight people in each cell. Some were meditating, some were pacing back and forth, and some were shouting loudly …
Luo Ping and the white-clothed girl who were following behind the caravan became more and more frightened as they walked forward. Their original guess had finally become a reality.
Since the two of them had already blackened their faces and the light in the prison was dim, no one noticed them. However, they found that there were many familiar faces in the prison.
Basically, the people they knew or remembered were all cultivators from the Long Province who had obtained the qualification to participate in the Battle of Champions. They were all locked up here at this moment.
At this moment, Luo Ping stopped at the entrance of a prison and looked straight inside. Luo Yunjue and the others were sitting cross-legged inside, recovering.
"Those behind, hurry up. Don't dilly-dally. Hurry up!" The soldier in front shouted.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Luo Ping had no choice but to quickly follow. Luo Yunjue and the others did not notice the situation just now.
"We're here. Lock up the people in the boxes in these two cells. Then, you can follow me to get the rest of the reward."
The soldier who led the way pointed at the two empty cells in front of them and said to the leader of the caravan. The leader nodded and waved his hand, signaling his brothers behind him to do the same.
After closing the door, Luo Ping and the girl could only follow the caravan out helplessly. However, on the way to get the reward, they slowly left the caravan and returned to the vicinity of the prison.
