Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 480 Betrayal (Part Two)

Dongshan Escort Agency was originally a well-known escort agency in the area.

At this time, there were both bodyguards and escorts present, with a large number of people, and they were traveling on the official road that was frequently patrolled by the government troops.

So the convoy didn't stop at all and traveled at a fast speed. After more than half an hour, they had covered ten miles and were faintly approaching the vicinity of Huayang City.

"Tell me, do you really think what you're doing will work? I've heard that the newly appointed military commander is not easy to fool." Inside the carriage, Ying Jiu couldn't help but ask as they approached their destination.

Back in Huayang City, because the city gate guards had a new superior, their previous network of relationships had been disrupted, and he couldn't be sure what would happen. Besides, for a wanted Green-Clad Alliance thief like him, entering the city wasn't difficult, but he always managed to sneak in secretly.

It's normal to feel anxious and irritable right now.

“What are you afraid of? Just do as I say, and there will definitely be no problem.” Luo Meiwei across from him spoke with certainty. “Besides, even if something happens and we’re unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire, we’ll be using the Han name to get out. If there’s any problem and they investigate, it will be his responsibility.”

"Alright." Seeing that Luo Meiwei had arranged everything properly, Ying Jiu felt a little more at ease and took out a piece of meat to feed the falcon on his shoulder.

As dusk fell, the blood-red setting sun hung on the horizon, with only half of it remaining in the sky.

The city walls of Huayang City appear exceptionally tall under the setting sun.

"Get off the vehicle, get off the vehicle, check the cargo!" Through the gap in the carriage, Ying Jiu could vaguely see the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) speaking to the city gate soldiers in a humble tone.

"Sir, these are old connections... Could you please see if you could..." Chief Escort Chen approached, stuffing a package into the young officer's hand.

"What Commander Wang? I don't know him! The one in charge here now is Commander Wan, Lord Wan!" The head镖头's words seemed to have mentioned the previous military commander, and the young gatekeeper was provoked, his voice suddenly becoming louder.

He waved his hand, and a circle of soldiers quickly surrounded him.

Each of them was covered in black helmets, their bodies clad in streamlined fish-scale armor, their hands resting on long swords at their waists, and they rode black horses, exuding a faint, cold, and bloodthirsty aura.

Even these horses were not ordinary warhorses; they had sharp teeth in their mouths and paw pads like those of a tiger, and they moved silently.

"It's the Duocui Army!" Inside the carriage, Ying Jiu was startled. As an organization that had been opposing the government for many years, he was extremely familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the various forces under the imperial court.

The Great Xuan Dynasty, first and foremost, had four major legions—Flying Wings, Dragon Spine, Tiger Roar, and Floating Pagoda—each suppressing the four directions, under the jurisdiction of the royal family, the Tantai family.

Secondly, there were the self-established military forces of various prefectures.

Logically speaking, each prefecture ultimately relies on the strength of its military force to rule everything.

However, Yunzhou is a special case because the Yuanmiao Sect is high above and in charge of everything. Among the five major powers in Yunzhou, the Yuanmiao Sect is the leader, and the other powers all act according to the Yuanmiao Sect's wishes.

Among these five major forces is the Yunzhou Prefecture Army. The Duocui Army is an elite squad within the Prefecture Army.

"This carriage is so heavily laden, search it thoroughly, don't miss a single corner!" The young gatekeeper waved his hand, and the armored soldiers around him all nodded silently in agreement.

Inside the carriage, Ying Jiu watched the Duo Cui Army soldiers getting closer and closer to him, his face grim and his heart ice-cold.

He wasn't worried about his own safety. Even if these people were from the Duocui Army, it was basically impossible for them to stop him.

only…....

If those contraband items are discovered, the mission will fail, and even if he manages to return alive, he will face severe reprimands.

Most importantly, these things involve too many people. If something goes wrong, it could very well cause the entire Green-Clad Alliance's profit chain to break down, and at that point…

The entire Green Shirt Alliance is in danger of splitting and dissolving.

Cheng…...

The soldier slowly drew his sword, preparing to use the tip of the blade to pry open the tarpaulin.

"What, do you even need to check my things...?" Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out.

Suddenly, Luo Meiwei's appearance changed again.

It was none other than Han Yi, the inspector of the Qiyun Mountain area of ​​Jingtianzhuang.

"Inspector Han?" The young general in white armor was taken aback, but quickly recognized the person opposite him and stopped his men from moving.

No matter how much Jingtian Manor has declined, it is still a dominant force in the surrounding area. The renowned inspectors and instructors of Jingtian Manor number only about thirty, each a person of extraordinary strength.

He was also a local, and since he served as a guard, he naturally had a special understanding of these people.

"Inspector Han, what could possibly require your personal errands? If I had known you would be escorting us, we wouldn't have gone to all this trouble." The young general in white armor stepped forward, explaining with a smile, his attitude completely different from before.

Those who have made a name for themselves in the vicinity of Huayang City are not virtuous people.

In particular, these inspectors, who were in charge of a region and governed a local area, were influential and their power and status were subtly higher than those of their superiors.

The government troops have recently heard about reforms, but no matter how they are reformed...

His family and friends also lived in the Huayang City area, and it wouldn't hurt to maintain good relations with these local inspectors.

"This is a secret operation, we can't expose it easily." Luo Meiwei, using Han Yi's name, imitated his tone perfectly. "There shouldn't be any problems, right? We're in a hurry."

"Of course, Inspector Han, please make yourself at home." The young general smiled gently and waved away the surrounding soldiers.

They had encountered similar clandestine operations within Jingtian Manor before, and they usually gave them face.

"Alright, I'll put in a good word for you with the new military commander later." Luo Meiwei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the young general didn't pursue the matter further.

"Then thank you very much, Inspector Han." The young general in white armor looked pleased and quickly opened the gate to let him through.

Since the inspector from within Jingtian Manor has come forward to vouch for him, even if any problems are investigated, it has nothing to do with him.

Chief镖师 Chen directed his men to mark the way, and once again shouted to the oxen and horses, as a caravan slowly entered Huayang City.

"I never expected you to know this trick..." Inside the carriage, Ying Jiu looked at Luo Meiwei, who looked exactly like a real person, and sighed with admiration.

“Otherwise, how could I dare to make such a boast if I wasn’t confident?” Luo Meiwei smiled smugly.

To prevent any accidents, she still maintained the secret technique to preserve Han Yi's appearance.

However, beneath her masculine exterior, there were subtle feminine traits in her words and actions. Such a scene would seem extremely strange to any outsider, regardless of whether they knew Han Yi or not.
