Chapter 129 Rear-end
Edmund was in the hotel restaurant when the call came.
The butler who followed him decanted the red wine and was about to pour it into the goblet in front of him, but he stretched out his hand to cover the rim of the goblet.
"Your Highness?" The butler was puzzled.
Edmund stood up and smiled, "There's no time to eat. Check out quickly. After you check out, we'll go pick up Ge Fu."
The butler's eyes lit up, "I'll go right away!" As a butler who grew up with His Royal Highness, no one would understand His Royal Highness's thoughts better than him. If His Royal Highness could successfully marry Princess Hengyang, it would be a great joy both publicly and privately.
Edmund's stomach was empty, but he didn't feel hungry at all. He walked out of the hotel impatiently and stood in the parking lot, waiting for the housekeeper to check him out.
"Hey! Edmund, what are you doing?" At this moment, a lazy voice with a smile sounded.
Edmund turned around and saw a handsome man with his hands in his pockets walking towards him slowly.
He immediately smiled, "Zhuo Yi, I'm leaving. I'm so glad to see you before I leave!" The man named Zhuo Yi was a friend he made in this hotel.
The other person is a freelance photographer who often shoots with a SLR. The two met because I accidentally broke the other person's very precious lens. Although the beginning was a bit bad, the ending was very beautiful.
To be honest, he felt a little awkward getting along with the men from Hengyang Country. How should I put it? It was just that their world views were too different.
But Zhuo Yi did not make him feel uncomfortable. Although he was not a very strong person, he was very free. It was a kind of freedom that was not bound by rules.
He always felt comfortable talking to the other person.
"Are you going to see your sweetheart?" Zhuo Yi raised his eyebrows.
Over the past half month, the communication between the two has long gone beyond the initial casual chat. Edmund not only revealed his identity, but also the identity of his beloved.
So Zhuo Yi knew that Edmund stayed in this hotel to wait for his sweetheart to return from Northern Xinjiang.
He would not leave early without a special reason.
"Yes." Edmund laughed heartily. "Although I can't see her, I can feel through the phone that her attitude towards me is beginning to soften. I must seize this opportunity."
"Really?" Zhuo Yi's face stiffened slightly, and then he said: "Then I wish you all the best!"
"Thanks, brother!" Edmund opened his arms and hugged him. "If you have a chance in the future, you must come to Gran Country. I will definitely treat you well."
Zhuo Yi's body was a little stiff, he reached out and patted Edmund on the back and said, "I'm looking forward to it."
The housekeeper came over with his men soon after. When they were loading the suitcases into the car, Zhuo Yi went over to help.
After watching the convoy leave, Zhuo Yi made a phone call -
"Edmund has already left the hotel. I took the opportunity to throw the tracker into their car. Send a car to follow immediately. If I'm right, we should be able to catch the target person smoothly."
He didn't know what the other party replied, so he simply closed the phone.
The road to escape from southern Xinjiang was not as quiet as Ge Fu had expected. She leaned against the window, looking at the vehicles and horses in the dark, and asked in confusion: "Who are these people..."
"These people should also be fleeing from the Northern Frontier." Lu Yao said, "Although there are few tourists in the Northern Frontier, there are always some. In addition, there are some people without clans. They are simply powerless in the face of looting in the Southern Frontier, so their only choice is to escape. Escape for a while, and then come back after the Southern Frontier is evacuated."
Ge Fu was silent, "The court is too incompetent."
No matter how chaotic Xinjiang was in the previous life, it was never to this extent, and tourists came and went all the time.
"Princess!" You Niang frowned, "Don't say that anymore. With advanced technology today, it's always better to be careful."
Lu Yao said: "The biggest tacit understanding between Hengyang and Jinglong is probably to ban guns in the northern and southern borders."
This was something Ge Fu didn't know. She was a little surprised and asked, "If that's the case, then what do they rely on to fight?"
"Cold weapons." Lu Yao said: "Of course, guns are not completely banned. There will always be some that slip through the net, but the number is very small."
They had originally expected to be able to leave Northern Xinjiang in two hours, but because of those who were also fleeing, the journey was not as smooth as expected. When they approached the boundary stone, the sky was already slightly bright.
"Are we really going to meet Edmund?" You Rong said somewhat unhappily.
Ge Fu nodded and said, "Even though he paid for the mercenaries for me, he is the prince of Gran Kingdom after all, and he followed me here, so I must send him back to Yaojing safely. Don't worry, he can't affect us, and we will go the same way but take different cars."
"Okay." You Rong sighed.
Although Lu Yao didn't say anything, one could tell he was unhappy by looking at his furrowed brows.
"Okay~" Ge Fu took his arm and coaxed him, "I won't get off the car later. I'll just say a few polite words to him. There's nothing much to talk about between us anyway."
Lu Yao's expression relaxed slightly, and he was about to say something when suddenly there was a bang, and the whole jeep shook violently. Ge Fu's head hit the front seat due to inertia, and he felt a little dazed.
"The road here is a bit difficult to drive on. I don't know who put such a big rock on the side of the road. I couldn't see it because there were no street lights, and I just hit it directly." The driver said immediately.
But at the same time, there was another bang, and a violent collision came from behind, and the few people who had just sat down were in chaos again.
"Fuck! Lin Zhenyun, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you stop without saying hello…"
Before he could finish his words, a series of collision sounds were heard. This time, Ge Fu's head hit the door directly. Fortunately, Lu Yao reached out to block it in time.
"What the hell is going on with the car behind us?"
"Are you in a hurry to be reborn?"
"Don't you have eyes?"
"You all want to die, right?"
"I stepped on the brakes! It was the car behind that hit me."
"Me too, what's going on with the car behind us?"
“I stepped on the brakes too!”
"Me too!"
……
Lu Yao held Ge Fu tightly with one hand and covered his bleeding forehead with the other. Because he was concerned about Ge Fu, he was not prepared and his head hit the car window glass directly, and it was not just once, but several times in a row.
He was feeling a little dizzy and nauseous right now, probably because he had a concussion.
But even so, listening to the drivers' shouts, he still felt something was wrong.
A total of four people said that they stepped on the brakes, and unfortunately, these four people happened to be the four drivers behind, which means... the subsequent car accident was caused by other vehicles.
But under normal circumstances, who would follow closely behind a convoy of their size?
Almost instantly, Lu Yao held Ge Fu with one hand and pushed open the car door with the other and rushed out.
"Get off quickly..." However, before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.
Before he lost consciousness, he heard panicked voices coming from the room.
“He’s from Southern Xinjiang!”
Lu Yao subconsciously tried to grab Ge Fu, but missed.
