Chapter 395: Makeup to the Rescue
The caravan was moving at a fast pace. Liu Meng had chosen followers who had a certain level of cultivation skills, and some were high-level martial artists.
They were able to last for days and nights without rest.
Their means of transportation were all first- and second-level red-pine horses, which could travel a thousand miles a day, and had amazing endurance.
They avoided some passes as much as possible, walked on remote paths, and traveled day and night.
Finally, they arrived at Liyan City on the third day.
"Who is it? Stop and check!"
At the city gate, a martial artist at the Grandmaster level reached out to stop the Liu family's caravan.
Everyone was slightly stunned when they saw this. They hadn't even reached Ziyan City yet, and the guards at the city gate had already been replaced by Grandmasters?
In addition to the guard who spoke to intercept, the other three guards at the city gate were also Grandmasters, and there was even another one who seemed to be the leader, but was actually a master at the Grandmaster level.
If the guards at Ziyan City were Grandmasters, wouldn't they be Grandmasters? The leader must be a martial arts master, right?
It is conceivable what kind of protective measures the Blue Flame Empire has set up on the border near Tianxuan.
Mo Yuntian accompanied Liu Meng down the carriage as expected and came to the Grandmaster guard who was blocking the way.
Liu Meng smiled and bowed, saying, "I am Liu Meng, the head of the Liu family in Chiyan City. I am escorting goods to trade with the Fang family in Liyan City. Please give me some convenience, brother?"
As he spoke, a medium-grade spirit stone fell from Liu Meng's sleeve without a trace, just in front of the guard. As long as he stretched out his hand slightly, he could kill his men without being discovered.
Liu Meng passed through the passes he passed these days in this way.
Most of the guards at the passes were no more than warriors and martial artists, or even ordinary people who were stronger. They could be easily dealt with with a few low-grade spirit stones or even dozens of taels of silver.
At present, the guards in Liyan City were actually several Grandmasters, and the low-grade spirit stones could not satisfy their appetites. Liu Meng generously took out the medium-grade spirit stones.
But who would have thought that the Grandmaster guard didn't even look at it, and let the middle-grade spirit stone fall to the ground, mixing with the rubble and being particularly conspicuous.
"Don't do this! You dare to come out to do business at this time? Hurry up, let everyone come out and stand in a row for inspection."
The Grandmaster guard looked indifferent, even Mo Yuntian, a martial arts master standing next to Liu Meng, was not moved at all.
Mo Yuntian's heart sank when he saw this. Sure enough, the quality of the guards in Liyan City was much higher. Obviously, they had been warned in advance that they were not allowed to accept bribes and must carefully check every person entering and leaving.
Liu Meng was also a little troubled, but letting Mo Qingkuang and others come down would obviously be easily exposed. You know, the wanted portraits of Mo Qingkuang and others have been posted at the gate of the city, and the depiction is vivid.
As long as these soldiers guarding the city are not blind, they will definitely recognize Mo Qingkuang and others.
Helplessly, he continued to smile: "Military, we often come to Liyan City. If the goods were not valuable this time and the Fang family was in a hurry, we would not have risked traveling."
"Military, please give me a favor. It's really hard to make a trip for business. I'll treat you all to a drink as a reward."
Liu Meng took out a handful of medium-grade spirit stones from his arms, nearly a hundred of them, and held them in front of the master guard with both hands.
The Fang family he mentioned is the top family in Liyan City, and their status in Chiyan City is similar.
By bringing up the name of the Fang family, he still wants to use the face of the Fang family to see if he can make concessions.
The master guard saw so many medium-grade spirit stones in front of him, not only did he not reach out to take them, but his face became even colder.
It's not that he doesn't want them, but the higher-ups have said that if he takes the slightest bribe and makes any mistakes in the guarded area, his whole family will have to pay with his life.
Now, let alone a hundred mid-grade spirit stones, even a hundred top-grade spirit stones would be too much for them to spend.
He slapped the spirit stone in Liu Meng's hand and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense. I'll give you ten breaths. Tell everyone to come out for inspection, otherwise it will be treated as treason!"
The movement here attracted the attention of other guards, and the leader of the Grandmaster realm came over with three other Grandmaster guards.
"What's going on?"
"Boss, trying to bribe me to avoid inspection!" The Grandmaster guard said hurriedly.
"Huh?" The Grandmaster's face changed, and he glanced at Mo Yuntian, without any fear.
He snorted coldly: "This is different from the past, don't make a mistake!"
He is just a martial honor. You must know that because this matter is of great importance, the Blue Flame Empire has mobilized heavy troops to block the border, and there is even a martial emperor in Liyan City.
If the old martial honor in front of him wants to force it open, he will definitely die without a burial place.
Mo Yuntian pinched the palms behind his back, and he had the urge to take action.
With such strict defense, these guards were also unyielding and were likely to be exposed.
If there was no other way, he had to risk his life to protect Mo Qingkuang and force his way out.
Just when he was about to take action, an old voice came from the carriage: "Forget it, I'll come out."
Mo Yuntian was slightly stunned. Where was the old man in the carriage? Mo Qingkuang and the other six were all young people, and the two grandmasters were only middle-aged people. Where did this old voice come from?
Just when he was stunned, a middle-aged man jumped off the carriage. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a beard, and a black mole on his face.
But it was obviously not one of the two grandmasters.
Looking at the peak cultivation of the grandmaster, Mo Yuntian had a strange guess in his mind.
Before he could put his guess into practice, the middle-aged bearded man said in a strong voice: "Uncle, let me help you."
There were two weak coughs in the carriage, and a skinny hand stretched out from behind the curtain and was supported by the middle-aged bearded man.
A hunched white-haired old man trembled from the carriage.
Afterwards, six people filed out. Except for the two great masters who still looked the same, none of them looked like teenagers at the beginning.
Mo Yuntian then remembered that his grandson Mo Qingkuang had the skill of changing his appearance, and he himself could not recognize him at the beginning.
I didn't expect that he could change everyone's appearance in such a short time.
The middle-aged bearded man was Han Shuo who was made up by Mo Qingkuang, and the trembling old man was Mo Qingkuang himself.
Mo Fan's soul ability was so powerful that before entering the city, he sensed that there was a thought belonging to a martial emperor wandering around nearby.
There were nearly ten martial kings.
Seeing the unyielding look of the city gate guard, Mo Fan knew that he could not escape this time.
He quickly asked Mo Qingkuang to use makeup to make up Hanshu and others.
That's why they have different looks.
As for the voice, everyone is a cultivator, and it is not difficult to use the true qi to control the throat to make a different sound from the usual.
Mo Yuntian and Liu Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
Several people helped Mo Qingkuang walk to the front of the team and stood in a row in front of the guards.
