After the soldiers left the inn, the worker who led them before came to Jin An.
With an apologetic face and smile, he explained. "Sorry gentlemen, those soldiers came barging. I could not stop them."
"Its okey. It's not your fault." Jin An waved it with a smile.
"So, what is going on? Why are they so aggressive?" He asked, even though he likely knew the answer.
"I am not very clear about it too. But from what I have heard. It seems the general of Jade Forest Camp have lost something valuable. And he suspected that someone must have stole it. Thats why." The worker slowly explained all the things he heard.
"Oh.." Jin An nodded his head in realization.
Then the worker left.
Jin An knocked on the door of the room Yu Zhe was staying.
Knock..knock...
Creak...
Yu Zhe quickly opened the door.
As soon as he saw Yu Zhe's face, Jin An said with some concern. "Quickly pack up your things. We need to leave this place immediately." His voice carried some urgency.
Yu Zhe's face was filled with puzzle. In his mind, he was wondering why the young master was so in a hurry. Nobody knew it was them who stole the treasure and no one saw them. So they should be find, staying in the city for a day or two. And enjoy the beauty of new things.
Seeing his face, Jin An immediately knew what he was thinking. With a serious face, he said. "I can feel a pressure coming. And it's very dangerous. So, go pack your things."
Hearing the seriousness of the situation, Yu Zhe quickly dropped his thoughts and hurriedly went inside the room to pack his things.
About 2 minutes later, Yu Zhe and Jin An quickly went down stairs.
Seeing the two of them coming down so in a hurry, the worker at the counter was confused. He quickly asked. "These two gentlemen, are you guys leaving already?"
With a calm smile, Jin An replied. "Ah, yes. We were only staying here because we missed our escort carriage, yesterday. And it's time for the carriages escorts to leave. So, we are kind of in a hurry."
"Oh, that's it. I thought the soldiers must have scared you." The worker quickly let out a realization tone.
"No,no. It's not that." Jin An waved his hand off with a fake smile. Then, he asked the worker. "So, how much for our stay and the foods?"
"Please wait a second." The worker turned to his check book.
Seconds later, he turned his head up and said. "Its 30 copper coins, for both of you. 10 for the room. 5 for the foods."
Yu Zhe walked up to the counter and paid the sums.
Before long, they left the inn and headed straight for the city gate.
When they arrived at the city gate, they found the place was full of guards. Everyone who wanted to leave the city was going through a heavy thorough check up.
Even the officials on the carriages were not spared, let alone the people on the foot.
Jin An and Yu Zhe quietly joined the long line of people.
One by one, the guards checked all the people. On the grounds, the guards check the people. On the wall, the guards kept an close eyes on the people coming and going. Checking for any suspicious activity.
Soon, Jin An's turn came by.
With a neutral face, he walked to the guards.
Seeing him stepping up, two guards with cold face approached Jin An.
"Your luggage or any bag." One of the guards said.
"I am on my own, with no bag or luggage." Jin An shook his head.
Both the guards looked at Jin An with like weird. A man traveling with no bag or even a small sack, that did not make any sense to them.
Well, whatever, they still needed to perform the search. So, they started patting his body, to check for anything suspicious.
After sometime, they could not find anything, like literally anything. Let alone anything suspicious, they could not even find a single cent on his body.
Immediately, they thought of him as a thief or something like one.
Seeing their suspicious eyes, Jin An quickly explained with a fake smile. "Haha.., don't get me wrong or anything. I am not a thief or like one."
He pointed behind him, and said. "My servant is just behind me. He is the one who is carrying all that kind of stuffs."
Both the guards followed his finger, and surely, they found a young man with a big bag on his back. He was standing there with a smile.
The guards nodded. One of them said to Jin An. "You step aside and wait."
Jin An corporate with the words.
And they signaled at Yu Zhe to come forward.
With the big bag, Yu Zhe hurriedly walked up to the checking guards.
After they thoroughly searched the bag and Yu Zhe, they did not find anything suspicious. So, the guards let Yu Zhe and Jin An out of the gate.
Quickly, Jin An and Yu Zhe found an escort group, not the same as the last one. Otherwise, it will be easy for people to track them down, if they find anything suspicious.
About 30 minutes later, the escort group started moving, ready to leave the Jade Forest City.
Inside the carriage, Jin An was thinking. He has 8 spider cameras working in the Jade Forest City, which make the collection of information very slow. Compare to the speed of Red Tiger City, it was the situation of turtle and rabbit race.
After he thought for a moment, he decided to leave more in the Jade Forest City. That will make the speed more faster and he can get more deep information.
Very quickly, he bought 10 more spider cameras and left them.
All those process were happening in front of Yu Zhe's eyes. With his curious and amazed eyes, he looked at Jin An. His thoughts wondering. 'Every time young master makes the puppet, it's beautiful. And every time, it never cease to amaze me. Wow....'
The carriages continued moving away from Jade Forest City, further and further.
