If you could somehow conceal yourself in the cargo of a wagon, then perhaps you could get inside without being seen.
You walk back down the dirt road until you come to a place where the road crosses a stream. There is no bridge, but the stream is shallow enough for the wagons to cross.
It is muddy here and you can see by the tracks that wagon wheels sink into the mud. This is a place where the wagons have to slow down and the driver has to devote his full attention to crossing the stream. In addition, there is a lot of foliage along the stream where you can hide. This place seems perfect. You sit down behind a tree to wait.
It doesn't take long before you hear wagons coming. There are two of them. The lead wagon is small like the other wagon you saw, with a single lizardman driver and one beast pulling it. But the second wagon is much larger. Four beasts pull it. The wagon is covered with canvas. Now, if you can just get inside that cover without being seen...
From your hiding place behind the tree, you hear the lizardmen talking in their language of whistles and hisses. You peak around the tree trunk and see that the first wagon is already across and the second one soon will be. But one of the lizardmen is there at the back of the big wagon, preventing your move.
You silently curse your bad luck, but then when the wagon finally clears the stream, the lizardman runs up to jump on the front of the wagon. You burst from your cover and sprint over to the back of the wagon, lift up the canvas, and scoot inside.
The wagon is filled with sacks of something, maybe vegetables of some kind. The smell is peculiar, like onions and something you can't identify. But at least you are in the wagon and apparently safe. You arrange the bags so that you are hidden. Now, even if anyone looks inside they will not see you.
After a brief time of travel, the wagon stops, and you hear the sound of the gateway into the castle being opened.
