"How is it? I said no problem!" Ye Zhiqiu also rushed over at this time, "Once this mountain pass is passed, only the city gate is left."
Jian Xiao took up her own salute and said, "Mr. Ye, I wish the young master is really thanks to you this time. You two have helped me enough. I can't drag you down any more, so why don't you just say goodbye?"
"Didn't you say we should separate outside the city gate?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at Jian Xiao and said, "It's getting dark now. It's better to stay one more night and have someone take care of me."
"Yes!" Zhu Qian also said hurriedly, "We really feel sorry for leaving you alone in this wilderness!"
Jian Xiao saw that the two of them had repeatedly asked to stay, and if she still refused, it would seem that she was being too merciless, so she had no choice but to nod and agree to stay one more night.
That night, Jian Xiao couldn't sleep. She stepped out of the carriage. There was still a little fire in the camp. She was getting closer and closer to Jingzhou, but she felt less and less at ease. She regretted that she came alone. If she and
If Tuo Jinglie talks about it, he will definitely understand him. Why is it useless? What about the thrilling twists and turns along the way?
Thinking of Tuo Jinglie, Jian Xiao closed her eyes and asked, "Tuo Tuo, where are you?"
In the Biga Kingdom's palace, Tuo Jinglie flew past one palace after another. He stopped in the imperial garden and looked at which palace still had some firelight in the night. A palace in the southeast corner looked particularly bright in the night. Tuo Jinglie
Lie Fei rushed there
In the early morning, when the genius was bright, Zhu Qian stretched out and began to check whether there were any missing goods on the carriage. The people in the escort team also started to light a fire and cook. When he walked to a carriage, Zhu Qian shouted softly, "Miss Jian Xiao
, are you up?"
There was no movement inside. Zhu Qian was a little surprised. These days, whenever he walked past the carriage, he would always hear Jian Xiao's greetings. What happened today? "Miss Jian Xiao? They are preparing to open fire." There was still no movement.
Zhu Qian knocked on the car door and said softly, "I'm sorry..." The car door was opened, and where was Jian Xiao? The carriage was neatly packed, and the baggage she carried was gone, leaving only a letter.
At the car door, Zhu Qian took it down
Mr. Ye, Mr. Zhu:
When I got the letter, I was already on my way to Jingzhou. I have troubled you these past few days. I know that if I don't leave, you will definitely send me all the way to Jingzhou. I appreciate your kindness, but I
We can't be so selfish. The situation has worsened along the way, and will definitely become more serious when we get to Jingzhou. The future of my trip to Jingzhou is uncertain. I really can't bear to drag you two down, so I have to leave overnight to trouble Mr. Ye to deliver my carriage to Jingzhou City.
In the small inn outside, the money has been paid and I can go with you two on this trip. It is really a blessing. When I see Tuo Jinglie again, I will pass on Mr. Ye's regards and wish him a prosperous business. I wish you peace in the future.
Jian Xiao paid tribute to Ye Zhiqiu and closed the letter, sighing slightly, "She, Jian Xiao, is really a strange woman. I have never seen her before in my life, so I can only wish her all the best."
Jian Xiao stopped on the side of the road with her luggage on her back and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She looked up at the sun. It was not yet noon, but it was so hot. Sure enough, the autumn tiger was going to be fierce. For safety reasons, Jian Xiao did not take the main road, but
Running along the small forest on the side of the road, the hem of her skirt was already soaked because it was soaked with dew along the way. This was the case when walking at night. She took out another pair of shoes from her bag, changed them, and continued on.
Not far away is the city gate of Jingzhou. I hope I can get in smoothly.
Jian Xiao stood far outside the gate of Jingzhou City. Sure enough, everything was as he expected. The guards were carefully checking the guests. They held papers in their hands and faced the visitors one by one. The passers-by had no choice but to queue up.
Let's go. The security is already tight so early? I thought it would be easier if I came earlier.
Jian Xiao, a guest who was sitting at a tea stall outside the city gate, took a bamboo hat, pressed it down, walked over, and shouted to the waiter, "Bring me a pot of good tea, and bring some snacks."
"Firstly, I want to have a rest, and secondly, I can clearly see the search situation outside the city gate and know if I can take advantage of any loopholes."
"Here you go!" The waiter quickly placed the things in front of Jian Xiao. "To be objective, your tea also has some lotus cake."
"Boy, what happened in Jingzhou? Why are the interrogations so strict?" Jian Xiao held up a tea cup to drink water, deliberately covering her face, and asked in a lower voice.
"Is the girl a foreigner?" the waiter sat down.
Jian Xiao nodded, "I am originally from the Tang Dynasty. I came to Biga Country to do some small business. This is my first time in Jingzhou. The inspections you made along the way were so strict. They are much stricter than our Tang Dynasty!"
"That's no wonder! We weren't like this before. It's only in the past two years that we've become like this." The waiter looked around and whispered to Jian Xiao mysteriously, "Something big happened to us in Bijia Country."
"Oh?" Jian Xiao listened attentively, then took out a lot of money from her sleeves and put it on the table, "I just want to hear a story, tell it to me!"
The tea waiter looked around, put the money in with his arm, sat next to Jian Xiao and whispered, "Have you ever heard of a female emperor?"
Jian Xiao smiled, "Are you kidding me? For thousands of years, emperors have only been men, so how could there be a female emperor? If Empress Nuwa can be considered an emperor, then this is the only one she knows.
It’s not easy for us women to be in business, let alone politics? Don’t deceive me.”
The tea waiter still whispered, "I really didn't lie to you. Girl, I don't know. Our Bijia country is like this. The empress was originally a princess, but later she got rid of her brothers one by one and became the emperor herself.
!Now we are just waiting for the enthronement ceremony!"
"Oh? Seriously?" Jian Xiao asked pretendingly, "Does the empress want to interrogate like this? Is it too harsh?"
Cha Xiaoer continued: "It is said that our former emperor of Bijia Kingdom, who is the elder brother of this princess, and only one person alive knows his whereabouts. The princess once said that if she could not find the emperor, she would not ascend the throne."
Said, she wants to be the emperor so much, how can she not ascend the throne? So now she is spreading her troops around to look for that person. So, girl, I advise you, it’s better to take a detour, you can’t get through the Jingzhou City Gate.”
"Why did the waiter say this? Are there any differences between men and women?"
"I heard that the person is a woman," Cha Xiaoer pointed to the city gate, "Did you see it? If you are a man, I will pass you by. If you are a woman, I will ask you clearly. I won't tell you."
If the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren ask clearly, they will definitely not be able to escape."
Asking about women but not men? Jian Xiao felt happy in her heart. She couldn't complain that she could still live smoothly until now. She was becoming more and more bureaucratic. Jian Xiao knew how to get in.
When I left Wolong Village, I was afraid that something might happen on the way. This man also brought a few clothes with him. Unexpectedly, they actually came in handy. Jian Xiao found a secluded forest to change out of his clothes and pack some clothes.
After checking for a while, it looked like there was nothing wrong with it, and then I walked towards the city gate.
