Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2474: Alerting the Enemy

Long Yi reached out to scratch his head, thought hard for a moment, and said anxiously: "Old man, please think carefully, is there any particularly noticeable carriage or strange person that passed by?"

With Long Yi’s anxious expression and the merchant’s inner unease, he bowed his head to think seriously for a moment. Suddenly, he looked up and said: "Just now, a carriage passed by. The carriage driver was particularly odd, wrapped up tightly from head to toe. We were all saying, in such hot weather, wouldn’t he be afraid of getting a heat rash being wrapped up so tightly?"

At this point, he looked at Long Yi and cautiously asked: "Noble one, is this important?"

Long Yi’s eyes lit up; could it be that they were really on the right track and had already caught up with the Prince?

Long Yi took out several taels of silver from his bosom, handed it to the merchant, and said: "Old man, which direction did the carriage go? How long ago did it leave?"

Such an amount of silver, one couldn’t earn in months of selling on the street, the merchant first showed a pleased expression, reached out to take it, but then suddenly remembered something and withdrew his hand, hurriedly saying: "Master, it’s just a small favor, no need, no need."

He had heard that silver from rich families wasn’t so easy to take; some people took it and ended up not living to spend it!

The merchant’s cautious thoughts, Long Yi didn’t care much for them, he tossed the silver into the merchant’s basket, turned around, and strode back to his horse, leaping onto it in one swift move.

Zi Xia had long run out of patience, worrying about the Prince’s safety on one hand, and on the other, about the young miss. Who knows how things were going with Lin Kong?

Zi Xia: "What happened? Did you get any information?"

Long Yi: "I did. A suspicious carriage headed north. Let’s catch up and have a look."

"Alright!" Zi Xia responded once, clamped her legs around the horse’s belly, and shouted: "Giddyup...!"

A few swift horses galloped past, leaving a sky full of dust behind. The merchants didn’t even flinch, having long been accustomed to such occurrences while doing business outside all year round.

"Old man, how much silver did the noble one give you?" Just as Long Yi left, others gathered around to ask the merchant.

The merchant’s eyes crinkled with laughter: "Hehehe... Lucky me, meeting a noble one, it was about ten taels of silver!"

The merchant initially didn’t dare accept the silver, but Long Yi just threw it down and left. He was overjoyed; working all year round couldn’t save this much after daily expenses.

The others were extremely envious and asked: "What did you say to the noble one to earn so much silver?"

They were right next to the old man, how come they didn’t have such good luck? They were full of regret, wishing they had stayed a bit closer to the noble one.

At that moment, they all forgot how they had been quicker than anyone to dodge when they saw the swift horses.

The merchant was also a bit muddled: "Nothing really, just asked about the carriage."

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more envious. For just a couple of questions, he got ten taels of silver. The old man’s luck was truly incredible.

Long Yi and Zi Xia chased northward for about half a quarter of an hour, vaguely seeing a carriage swaying ahead.

"Tweet tweet tweet...!" Xiao Jiu appeared out of nowhere.

Zi Xia was overjoyed and tilted her face upwards to shout: "Xiao Jiu, come down quickly, I need to talk to you."

Who would have thought, Xiao Jiu actually shrieked back: "Not coming down, not coming down, you’re a bad person, in league with the big baddie, always bullying Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu will ignore you, and find the master instead."

Xiao Jiu was originally with the young miss; now appearing here, has the young miss escaped and come over to rescue the Prince too?

Zi Xia didn’t have time to think more because the carriage was right ahead; she didn’t know if the Prince was trapped inside, and she needed Xiao Jiu to help scout the situation without alarming their target.
