Chapter 487 Can’t go back
Gu Fei's heart skipped a beat. Could this be a search for escaped slaves?
Fortunately, unlike the British Empire, Nanzhao did not brand slaves on their foreheads, otherwise they would not be able to leave the city.
Xiao Yu motioned for everyone to stop first and guessed, "Go and find out what happened first."
Everyone stopped in a tea shed on the roadside to drink tea and wait.
Pochai went there for a while, then turned back and whispered: "Many mines have lost a large amount of jade in recent days. Now we are strictly checking people who leave the city, especially those who carry jade with them."
Gu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned slightly red. Needless to say, this was all her fault.
Xiao Yu noticed her discomfort and glanced at her.
Shitou said: "Then we also bought jade, what should we do?"
Po Gui smiled and said, "Didn't we have a certificate when we bought the jade? Just take that out."
“The mines in Nanzhao Kingdom belong to the royal family. This voucher was originally made by Nanzhao Kingdom to prevent jade from being smuggled out of the country. It is stamped with the official seal. Jade without a voucher will be confiscated when it leaves the city."
Gu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Zhu Zhu. The jade she bought had never been handled by Zhu Zhu from beginning to end. It was all kept by Zhu Zhu.
Zhuzi opened the bag and took out a piece of paper, "Is this it?"
Pochai looked at it and said, "This is it."
Xiao Yu stood up and said, "Let's go then. What are you waiting for?"
As they walked to the city gate, the jade in the bags of stones and pillars was indeed inspected. Fortunately, the soldiers let them out of the city after seeing the vouchers.
He came out of the city gate and ran for a while. He pointed to a boundary marker on the side of the road and said, "This is already the territory of our British Empire."
Everyone who had been tensed up finally felt relieved at this moment.
Gu Sanlang, who was riding on the horse, suddenly started to cry.
The next few people who were rescued also cried.
Xiao Yu looked back at Gu Fei and said, "Have a rest."
Gu Fei nodded and dismounted.
Everyone also dismounted.
Gu Sanlang embarrassedly wiped his tears with his sleeves and looked at the girl, "I, I didn't want to cry."
It’s just that I really didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to set foot on the land of the British Dynasty.
Gu Fei smiled at him and handed him a handkerchief, "It's okay, you can cry if you want."
Gu Sanlang wiped his tears and suddenly grinned, "Stop crying. Being able to escape is a great good thing. It's too late to laugh!"
At this time, several people around him also laughed.
For a time, the laughter of several men echoed in the forest.
When the laughter stopped, Xiao Yu suddenly asked calmly: "What are your plans next?"
Gu Sanlang didn't even think about it, "Of course I'll go back to the military camp."
Gu Fei frowned. She didn't want her third brother to return to the military camp again. This time, Sanlang didn't die and was rescued. It was just a blessing. Who can guarantee that there will be such good luck next time?
Xiao Yu glanced at Gu Fei and said slowly: "I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome to return to the military camp. You have all reported death in battle now."
“The list of those killed in battle has been reported to the court, so it cannot be changed.”
Everyone was stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you.
Wu Qiang suddenly said: "Then can I go home?"
Xiao Yu nodded slowly, "You can go home, but your household registration has been cancelled."
"I can go home, I can go home!" Wu Qiang automatically ignored Xiao Yu's words and jumped up with his fists clenched.
Chen Ping and Wang Laoer also had a flash of joy on their faces, but they quickly calmed down.
Only Gu Sanlang has been in a state of sluggishness.
