Tian's little cook

Chapter 844 Finally Leaving Beijing
Liu Zhun knew the roads of the capital like the back of his hands, and instead of leading them along the main road, he walked through alleys to avoid running into the pursuers.

There was still a quarter of an hour before Ion Shi arrived at the northwest gate. Looking at the open city gate, Lin Zhimo was a little excited.

As long as they leave this city gate, Yuxi will be safe for the time being.

Liu Zhun signaled them to leave the city first, and Lin Zhimo was a little nervous when he followed Zhang Linghan through the city gate.

The guards guarding the city gate stopped them, "Stop, why are you leaving the city so late?"

Zhang Linghan calmly took out the exit token that Cheng Deen gave him, "We have urgent matters to be done by the order of Eunuch Cheng."

The guard recognized the token in the palace, and it was the token of Cheng Deen, the chief eunuch, and immediately backed away, "How offending, please leave, both of you."

"It's okay." Zhang Linghan took back the token, "You are also acting impartially, thank you."

Lin Zhimo was so nervous that his face turned pale, but under the cover of the night, he didn't show any clues.

Feeling her nervousness, Zhang Linghan secretly tugged on her sleeve to calm her down, and then the two stepped out of the city gate at a faster pace.

According to Liu Zhun's instructions, the two of them did not stop after going out. Instead, they trotted all the way at a faster speed, and they didn't stop until they heard the sound of horseshoes behind them.

Liu Zhun arrived on a fine horse, stopped beside them, and handed the reins to Zhang Linghan, "I can only get one horse out, and you can buy another one after you are safe."

"Thank you Commander Liu." Zhang Linghan and Lin Zhimo thanked at the same time.

Liu Zhun waved his hand, "No more talking, let's go immediately."

Zhang Linghan stretched out his hand to help Lin Zhimo get on his horse, but Lin Zhimo looked at Liu Zhun, "Commander Liu, I have another kind request, I hope you can agree."

"You said."

"There is a famous eunuch in the imperial kitchen called Kang Lin. Today he helped us leave the palace, but he was arrested because of it." Lin Zhimo was worried when he thought of the scene of leaving the palace: "You beg for him, and say that he was coerced by us. I have to agree, I beg you to save him."

"I'll find a way to do this when I get back to the palace." Although they didn't get along for a long time, Liu Zhun could see that Lin Zhimo was a very affectionate and righteous person, and he appreciated this very much.

If he can help, he will not stand by.

"Thank you." Lin Zhimo had tears in his eyes.

"Let's go." Liu Zhun urged again.

Zhang Linghan asked Lin Zhimo to get on the horse first, and he then went up and sat in the back, nodded to Liu Zhun, then flicked the whip lightly and walked forward.

Lin Zhimo looked back at the capital behind him, feeling as if he had passed away.

She came to the capital to meet Huangfu Chu a few months ago, and fled in a hurry tonight. She has experienced too many things.

But no matter what the road ahead is, she will go on without hesitation.

Lin Zhimo held the jade seal in his arms tightly, his eyes firm.

Liu Zhun quickly walked back to the city gate and told the guards: "From today onwards, the Northwest Gate will be closed before Haishi, and no one is allowed to enter or leave after Haishi."

"Yes." The guard answered.

"The hour has come, close the city gate." Liu Zhun ordered.

The four guards were in groups of two and pushed a door each.

Just when the city gate was half closed, a pair of men and horses ran over from a distance and shouted loudly: "Stop. By order of King Yong'an, arrest the escaped criminals in the palace."

Liu Zhun's heart skipped a beat. Lin Zhimo and Zhang Linghan hadn't gone far yet, so it's entirely possible to catch up now.

Liu Zhun signaled the guards to stop, stood at the gate of the city to stop the leader, and said loudly: "Liu Zhun, the commander of the imperial guards in the lower capital, do you have a token?"
