While reassessing the man's strength in her mind, she once again looked at Fang Han and his group who were still on the horse: "Didn't General Fang say he wanted to take me to meet someone? Why don't you dismount?"
Fang Han did not dismount after hearing this, but he cupped his hands towards her and said, "Miss Lin, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want to dismount, it's that only those who are invited can enter here.
My mission is to send you here. Now that the mission has been completed, I will not stay here any longer.
The person who came to greet the girl has come out. Girl, it’s better to go in quickly and don’t keep the person waiting for a long time.”
After saying that, without waiting for Jiu Si's reaction, he turned the horse's head, then, with a whip, he led the people away in a mighty manner.
Originally she only had some speculations in her mind, but after Fang Han's actions, she was completely sure that these people were no longer under the control of the court.
Originally, she thought that the emperor's repeated purges of officials in the court had a small intention of purging those old ministers, but now it seems that the other party may have expected something, and this is why he is so murderous.
Also, since uncontrolled generals appear here, what about other places?
Jiusi watched them leave for a while, then turned to look at the people who came to greet them.
With just one glance, she knew that the person in front of her came from the palace. Even if the person was only wearing simple clothes, people trained in the palace were always different from the servants next to them.
The other party first saluted her, and then lowered his head slightly and invited her in: "Miss Lin, my master has been waiting inside for a long time. Please move."
Hearing the words, Jiusi nodded to express his understanding, and motioned to Yiyue and the others without leaving a trace, and then followed the direction of the man's guidance into the villa.
Although this villa doesn't look big from the outside, once you enter it, it's a completely different scene.
Entering from the gate, what they saw was an avenue paved with bluestones, and there were many patterns carved on the bluestones, which together formed a large and lively autumn hunting picture.
As they walked, they saw the waterways on both sides of the bluestone road. Perhaps for the sake of beauty, not only were some water plants planted in the waterways, but even the drainage outlets on both sides were built to look like beasts, which looked very majestic.
I thought this was good enough, but when they walked through the bluestone road and came to a gate, Jiusi realized that they had walked for so long before they finally reached the real gate. Just now
The door you walked through was just a cover for the villa.
As the second door opened, Jiusi saw what the real Wuming Villa looked like.
The first thing that catches the eye is a magnificent palace, not an exaggerated adjective palace, but a real palace.
Not only the layout of the building, but also the materials used in the construction were all materials used to build the palace. Looking at the overall situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have entered another small palace.
Not only Jiusi could see it, but also the few months he spent in the palace.
Several people couldn't help but look at each other, and then quickly looked away, as if they didn't know what to do, and continued to walk forward with them.
Jiusi: The palace is not that easy to build, even a smaller version is not that easy to build. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The people behind this are really not simple!
January: Let me go, this is not a villa, this is clearly a smaller version of the palace!
February: With such a big deal, could it be that the person looking for the girl came from the palace, one of the princes, or the loser in the previous battle for the throne?
Other months: They must have encountered rebels, right? Is it still worthwhile to protect their own girl and fight out?
Although their reactions were not obvious, they were still noticed, but the other party did not say anything.
The group of people walked for almost half an hour before stopping outside a bamboo forest. The man turned sideways and made an invitation gesture to Jiusi: "Girl, my master is in the bamboo forest. Please go in!"
Seeing this, Jiusi asked in surprise: "Am I alone?"
The man nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, my master Xi Jing, no one else is allowed to enter this bamboo forest except those who want to see him."
After Jiusi heard the words, he subconsciously sensed it, and after realizing that there was really only one person inside, he waved his hands to Yiyue and the others: "Okay then, guests are welcome, Yiyue, you can just wait here for me."
After that, he walked into the bamboo forest.
Although they were a little worried in January, they had orders from her and they had no choice but to obey them.
And the man who led them in didn't leave either. He stood quietly on the left side, as motionless as a piece of wood.
When walking into the bamboo forest, Jiu Sidu was still guessing who the person was, but when she actually saw the person, she fell silent.
He walked slowly to the stone table and sat down. He picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip. He thought for a moment and said, "I wonder who is so generous. It turns out to be the Twelfth Emperor."
Hearing this, the man raised his head and said with a smile: "Your title is quite new. They have called me Xiao Twelve, Old Twelve, Twelve, Master Twelve, an unloved loser, but no one has ever added it in front."
The word "emperor" was not used when my father was on the throne, and even more so when my father became the Supreme Empress. It's as if I don't deserve the word "emperor."
This person is none other than Gong Jin, the twelfth son of the emperor, who was one of the survivors of the previous competition for the throne. He is a man of power who may not show off his appearance, but has deep scheming plans.
Although he is inconspicuous compared to his brothers, he is much more powerful than the princes of this generation. In addition, the Supreme Emperor is still here. If he really wants to win, he might be able to succeed.
But these have nothing to do with her. She is not interested in the royal family's fight. Once the deal with the emperor is completed, she will immediately disappear from the sight of these people, making them unable to plot against her even if they want to.
After knowing who the other party was, she stopped trying to beat around the bush and asked bluntly: "I wonder what Master Twelve asked Jiu Si to come here for?"
Gong Jin didn't seem to expect that she would ask directly. After being stunned for a moment, he laughed loudly and said, "I have long heard that the eldest girl of the Lin family is a cheerful person. Since you asked, I won't make any detours with you.
I heard that you have a large amount of food and grass in your hands, I wonder if that’s true?”
Seeing that his purpose was really for that batch of food and grass, a cold light flashed in Jiusi's eyes: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
Hearing this, Gong Jin glanced at her with a half-smile and said, "If so, it happens that the people under me are short of food, so I have to borrow it.
If not, then I can only ask the Lin family to borrow it."
The threat in the words is self-evident.
After Jiusi heard this, she couldn't help but feel glad that she had broken away from the Lin family. Although she didn't like the Lin family very much, she didn't want to destroy that family because of herself.
She turned cold and said displeasedly: "Let's not mention that I have left the Lin family and am no longer the daughter of the Lin family. Even if I am still the daughter of the Lin family now, you can't borrow it.
As early as when Lin Ruhai came to Beijing, the Lin family had sent all their wealth to the treasury, and if you borrowed it, the Lin family would have no money to lend to you."
