"Silver-haired, it must undoubtedly be the National Master Feng Wushang of Great Han. With so many carriages and even the National Master personally following, could it be that the Emperor of Great Han is also among these carriages?"
This person murmured to himself, watching as the carriages stopped by the roadside. Then several n dressed in sturdy attire ca over, bought so tea from the shopkeeper, and returned to the convoy. The convoy then continued northward on its journey.
The further the convoy traveled, the more distant it beca. In the distance, they could see the city gates ahead, with the two large words "Huo City" faintly visible atop the gate.
The convoy halted, soone carrying a token went forward to smooth things over, while soone at the back rode up to report to the National Master.
"Reporting to the National Master, there’s a young man who’s been following us ever since the tea stand ahead. He’s trailed us for thirty miles without leaving. Should we chase him away?"
The Emperor’s travels, what a significant affair?
How can an unknown person be allowed to follow behind?
Especially since this individual truly appears suspicious.
"Let the City Guard stop him for inspection once we enter the city."
The National Master had naturally noticed the suspicious individual behind them.
Had already intended to find an opportunity to deal with it after entering the city.
"Yes!"
The front guard took out the token, and the City Guard imdiately cleared away idle people, allowing the group to enter the city, while the City Guard intercepted the person behind for questioning.
Inside the carriage, Princess Ata suddenly had a feeling, casually lifting the curtain and looking back. She saw the city gate tightly guarded, with several governnt soldiers surrounding a young man in the center, questioning him.
Upon seeing the distinctive floral hat, Princess Ata’s expression couldn’t help but turn stern.
"Why would the Great Shi appear here?"
Princess Ata murmured to herself, her mind calculating.
"Stop the carriage!"
The moving convoy suddenly halted, and a guard stepped forward, asking, "What is it, Princess Ata?"
"Brother, may I ask what is happening over by the city gate?"
The guard looked at the city gate, then at Princess Ata, and responded.
"Oh! That’s a suspicious individual. We’ve been ordered to have the soldiers at the gate question and inspect him. If he proves truly suspicious, we’ll apprehend him imdiately!"
Princess Ata pondered slightly upon hearing this and said, "I’ll go take a look; he seems to be an acquaintance of mine!"
The guard was montarily stunned by her words but eventually replied after so ti, "This... I’ll need to consult with the National Master!"
Princess Ata nodded, signaling for him to go.
When the National Master received the report from the guard, he pondered briefly and then agreed.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and the Emperor lifted the curtain to inquire, "Didn’t we just enter the city? Why has the convoy stopped again?"
The National Master explained the situation.
"Does the National Master suspect that the suspicious person is from Nanjiang?"
The National Master nodded, "Exactly, that person is dressed in black. Though in Central Plains’ attire, he wears a floral hat unique to certain ethnic groups, indicating he’s from the region of Nanjiang. He’s followed us all this way. If it’s a re coincidence, I find it hard to believe.
But if it’s not a coincidence, yet he’s trailed us for dozens of miles without making a move, it becos intriguing."
The Emperor glanced toward the city gate, noticing Princess Ata conversing with the City Guard—suddenly he felt a faint sense of anticipation.
At this mont, Xiaosuisui also lifted the curtain to look outside. Huo Xing’Er and Zhu Xiuxiu noticed her action and also turned to look at the city gate behind.
The two aunts doted on her so much that although there was an extra carriage prepared for this journey, neither aunt was willing to sit separately, insisting on squeezing in with her.
