Shan Cinian sat on a wooden chair and stared out the window.
Everything was normal all the way from Kyoto, but something started to go wrong after entering the Thirteen Cities in the North.
And this strangeness was completely confirmed after arriving in Nancheng.
The Princess Che that the people in the thirteen northern cities knew was completely different from the Princess Jinhe they heard in Kyoto.
As soon as she scolded her on the street, countless people rushed up to teach them a lesson. After entering Nancheng, they just mentioned Wen Jinhe's past in Linyue Kingdom in the inn, and were glared at and scolded by more than a dozen people. Even the innkeeper Don't want to let them stay in the hotel.
The walls, streets, houses, and even the people in Nancheng were all beyond their expectation.
"General Shan, what should we do next?" Nancheng and the others have already entered, but it is not easy to kidnap Wen Jinhe alive from the post house.
There are only a thousand officers and soldiers guarding the city, but there are more than a thousand people in the entire southern city.
Shan Cinian came to Nancheng on Wen Mingting's order to kidnap Wen Jinhe and use her to threaten Li Junche.
"There are not many defenders around the post house. There are only two people at the gate. At night, we will take advantage of the darkness to investigate and see how many people are inside and where Wen Jinhe lives." Shan Cinian ordered the spicy duck in one mouthful The neck is broken into pieces, why is it so difficult to eat this thing?
On a high-rise building a few hundred meters away, He Shi was staring at them through the window with a telescope.
The sky gradually darkened, and it was evening.
Shan Cinian and two others wearing night clothes climbed up the high wall of the post house. They saw a few lanterns lit in the courtyard. The room was dark, so they must have gone to bed long ago.
Seeing a maid passing by carrying a candle, Shan Cinian stretched out his hand to signal his subordinates to follow him.
There were not many women in the inn. She must be the maid that Princess Che brought to Nancheng from the capital. If you follow her, you will know which room Wen Jinhe lives in.
Man Dong walked through the front yard holding a lantern. His palm on the door paused for a moment. He lowered his eyebrows and pushed open the door. After a while, he came out and closed the door, then stood guard at the door of the room.
Shan Cinian saw Zhao Bi who was guarding not far away, and was even more certain that it was Wen Jinhe's room, and there weren't many people guarding it at night.
"Go back and call for help right away, and we'll start tonight." Shan Cinian ordered in a low voice.
……
No one responded to him.
Shan Cinian immediately turned his head to look, when a sharp sword was placed across his neck.
A stinging pain hit him, and the sword edge cut through the outermost layer of his skin.
He Shi was standing behind him with a dull face.
Where can I see the figures of those two subordinates?
After Shan Cinian took the two people out, Lu Jue led a hundred soldiers to surround the house where they lived.
I thought these people came to Nancheng for cement or gunpowder, but who would have thought that the target was actually the princess, and Jian Shu was looking for death.
Shan Cinian's hand holding the knife began to sweat. When did this person appear behind him?
"When did you find me?"
He Shi kicked him off the roof, and the guards who had been waiting immediately stepped forward to capture him and tie him up.
"You dare to gossip about our princess just after entering the city. You are really not afraid of death." He Shi signaled the guards to take the person into the cell.
The two people following Shan Cinian had been dealt with long ago when he was focused on Man Dong.
He Shi looked at Zhao Bi who was walking over, "Do I need to report to the princess that everyone has been caught?"
Zhao Bi glanced at Man Dong who was about to leave, shook his head and said, "Don't wake up the princess in the middle of the night. Let's lock her up for the night and wait until the princess wakes up tomorrow morning."
He Shi nodded and continued to stay on the roof with his sword in hand.
As soon as Shan Ci was imprisoned, his thirty-nine accomplices were escorted in by officers and soldiers. He felt that the world was spinning before his eyes, and they were all arrested before he even saw Wen Jinhe's face.
How to fulfill the emperor's order?
After Wen Jinhe woke up the next day, Zhao Bi and He Shi came in to tell her what happened last night.
"Have you been interrogated?" Wen Jinhe asked while eating breakfast.
Zhao Bi shook his head, "Not yet."
Wen Jinhe picked up a shrimp dumpling with chopsticks and dipped it in some chili oil. "You two go and interrogate it. After the interrogation, we will deal with it."
The two lowered their heads and replied: "Yes."
In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Jue and his soldiers began to check in Nancheng whether they had seen any strangers recently. There were more than ten or twenty people staying in a hotel and eating together.
In the post house, Zhao Bi stood in front of Wen Jinhe, "The leader said that when leaving Kyoto, there was another group of people who set off before them and also came to Beidi Kingdom, but they did not go with them."
He Shi: "General Lu has led people inside the city to start questioning."
Wen Jinhe placed his fingers on the tea cup and tapped it twice casually, "If a team of people has already been sent, why would they be sent here again? Maybe those people are not coming to Nancheng."
He Shi and Zhao Bi also had this idea, but for the safety of the princess, they could not let down their guard as long as there was a slight possibility.
"Princess, a eunuch came outside and said he was ordered by the emperor to see the princess." The guard stood outside the door and shouted loudly.
Wen Jinhe stood up in surprise, "Imperial order?"
After coming to Nancheng, this was the first time I received someone from Li Jingxing, "Go and have a look."
The chamberlain stood in the hall, feeling a little uneasy. Even if he had never been to Nancheng, he knew something was wrong here.
This is not poverty, it is extremely rich. Otherwise, how could the city be built so well?
After Wen Jinhe entered the door, he saw the eunuch looking at him, so he smiled and asked, "Is it an imperial edict or an oral instruction?"
The chamberlain quickly waved his hand to signal Wen Jinhe not to kneel down, "This is a letter that can only be opened by you, Princess Che."
He handed over the envelope he had placed on his chest with both hands.
Wen Jinhe was stunned for a moment. Did the emperor write a letter to himself? This is a bit strange.
After reading the contents of the letter, the smile on Wen Jinhe's face disappeared. She looked up at the eunuch and said, "Go back and tell the emperor that your daughter-in-law knows about it. If someone comes, she will not let him go."
The chamberlain nodded quickly, "Then I won't bother you. Your Majesty is still waiting for your reply."
Wen Jinhe glanced at Zhao Bi and said, "Zhao Bi, you personally escort the Lord Chamberlain out of the city." It is not a good thing for someone from the palace to leave in such a hurry. At the very least, he must shut his mouth and stop talking nonsense.
Zhao Bi cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Yes."
After the two left, Wen Jinhe read the words on the envelope again, pursed her lips and stood up, "Jian Shu is acting up, what a mess it is outside now, she actually dares to run out alone."
Man Dong and He Shi saw that their princess was angry. What did this mean? Who ran away?
There was a trace of anxiety and worry in Wen Jinhe's eyes. It had been more than half a month, and according to common sense, it was time to go to Nancheng.
Is it really a waste of time traveling all the way?
"Princess, has something happened?" Man Dong asked worriedly.
Wen Jinhe shook his head, "Princess Qinbao secretly left the palace. The emperor speculated that she must have come to Nancheng. He asked me to take good care of her and keep her under control."
