Chapter 264: Stopped and searched
Xiao Jinxuan came to the rescue, and it was indeed because of what happened to Xiao Yunyan just now, which was too similar to the scene before her death in her previous life, which touched her heart of compassion.
But when she thought of Zhou Xianyu, the serious injury before the war not long ago was caused by the Beirong people, she would look at Xiao Yunyan, and it was strange that her attitude could be good.
And Xiao Yunyan's inner shock was also incomprehensible, because he really didn't expect that this woman who happened to save him would be so knowledgeable.
Not only do they know the totem worship of Beirong Kingdom, but they even know the royal family name clearly, and they always hear that the women of the Great Zhou are better at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they don't want to be among them, and there is no shortage of talented people.
Knowing that although Xiao Jinxuan's attitude was not good, she would not harm herself after all, Xiao Yunyan immediately nodded calmly, and then admitted it directly.
"This young lady doesn't know what to call it, it seems that the guess is good, you are really not an ordinary woman, what you said is true, I am indeed the Beirong royal family, this time I sent you to Da Zhou, I came to congratulate Emperor Ming on his birthday."
Seeing Xiao Yunyan admit her identity so calmly, Xiao Jinxuan's unkind expression was a little better, because Zhou Xianyu was injured, she didn't have a good impression of the Beirong people.
But Xiao Jinxuan also knew that the battle between the two armies, winning by surprise, and killing the other party's generals was also a common strategy in the art of war, so she didn't get to the point of wanting to kill Xiao Yunyan quickly.
The reason why she asked the other party to leave quickly was that she really didn't have a good impression of the Beirong people, and the other reason was that after knowing that the other party was a member of the royal family of another country, Xiao Jinxuan was really reluctant to take the other party into the city in person, because it would easily bring her a lot of trouble.
If once she has a close relationship with the Beirong royal family, some things are slightly revealed, then it will be easy for Empress Xue's mother and son to use the topic to play, and if she can't figure it out, she will be charged with collaborating with the enemy country, so as to suppress her, then she will really be speechless.
Therefore, just when Xiao Jinxuan wanted to urge the other party again and leave quickly, suddenly the carriage suddenly stopped slowly dozens of meters away from the city gate.
With a slight difference in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly rushed outside and asked, "What happened to Chi Ling, why did he stop moving." ”
Hearing this, Chi Ling didn't open the car door, but just lowered his voice and said with some caution:
"The people who entered and exited the city gate were stopped by the people of the city defense camp, and I saw that at the gate of the city, there were a few people standing in similar clothes to those Yexuan warriors of Shicai, I'm afraid this group of people is looking for the one in our car, what should I do now, should Miss break through directly."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan picked up her beauty, and then glanced at Xiao Yunyan in the car, only to see that the other party had already held the saber in her hand.
sighed in her heart for trouble, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't see where she was, this Xiao Yunyan seemed to want to go with Chi Ling, and they were ready to break through the city gate.
She couldn't help but sigh slightly, this martial arts person, sure enough, is good at solving dangerous situations by force, but this is the gate of the capital division, and he really broke in unscrupulously, and the responsibility is not light at all.
immediately signaled Xiao Yunyan to stay quiet, and then Xiao Jinxuan lifted the curtain of the car, and then looked outside a few times.
Then she saw that what Chi Ling said was true, and the city gate that was still unobstructed when she left the city in the morning would already have twenty or thirty soldiers, with tight handles.
Passers-by and carriages were all under scrutiny, and a few Yeqi people stood aside, carefully identifying each of the people who were stopped, and it was impossible to guess that they were looking for someone.
As for who they are looking for, if there is basically no accident, it must be Xiao Yunyan.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Jinxuan immediately ordered Chi Ling to stay normal, not to wait in line for a search, and to drive directly to the city gate, and then she would have a way to deal with those guarding soldiers.
Seeing that someone was setting up a card search in front of him, Xiao Yunyan knew very well that he would rush over, which was tantamount to throwing himself into a net, but looking at the woman in the car, that calm demeanor, he had always been in his own affairs, and he didn't want to be controlled by others, but he had an inexplicable sense of trust in Xiao Jinxuan in his heart.
Therefore, knowing that getting out now is the only chance, Xiao Yunyan chose to stay in the carriage and quietly watched how Xiao Jinxuan would deal with the next situation.
In less than a while, the carriage had already arrived at the city gate, and immediately three soldiers stopped the carriage with spears in their hands, and one of them even scolded and said:
"Who are you, hurry up over there and wait in line to enter the city, now that the city gate is under martial law, you can only enter after searching, if you dare to break in, be careful that I will arrest you all and put them in the prison."
As soon as the soldier's words fell, he heard Xiao Jinxuan's cold snort in the carriage, and then her cold voice came out calmly.
"I don't even know when the people in your Beijing military camp have the right to put people directly into the prison, there is no personal approval from the saint in the prison, or the documents of the officials, you should be able to be put in by anyone, and a single soldier dares to speak wildly in this mouth, so contempt for the law of the line, I think the most suitable person to be imprisoned should be you, Chi Ling showed him the waist card."
The soldier who was originally squeezed into a red face by Xiao Jinxuan's words, although he knew that what the other party said was right, but looking at the dilapidated carriage in front of him, no matter how he looked at the people sitting inside, his identity was not high.
Therefore, the soldier wanted to make things difficult directly, but at this moment, Chi Ling took out the waist card of the Shuai Mansion and stretched out his hand to hand it to the other party's eyes.
"Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, what is sitting in this car is Miss Jinxuan from the Shuai Mansion, my lady's carriage, you are not qualified to move around, don't hurry up and get out of the way for me."
The Xiao family carved the waist card of the tiger totem, this was revealed, the soldier who was extremely arrogant and had a suitable demeanor, his face immediately turned white with fright, he really didn't expect that in such a broken car, there was a person with such an identity, not to mention stopping each other, he almost had weak legs and knelt on the ground.
Seeing that the soldiers defending the city did not dare to stop each other, Chi Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then drove the carriage and continued to rush towards the city.
In fact, it was not just the soldiers outside the car, who were frightened because they suddenly knew Xiao Jinxuan's identity.
It was Xiao Yunyan in the car, who was also shocked in his heart, although he had guessed the identity of the other party countless times, but he never thought that Xiao Jinxuan would be a member of the Big Thursday family.
The main thing is that he was also misled by this dilapidated carriage, after all, there is no family mark on it.
Coupled with the fact that Chiling is still a martial artist in the rivers and lakes, Xiao Yunyan is a talent, and he really regarded Xiao Jinxuan as a member of the martial arts family, but now that he thinks about it, it is too outrageous.
Just when Xiao Yunyan saw that the crisis was lifted and wanted to say a few words with the daughter of the handsome mansion in front of him, suddenly the carriage was intercepted again when he was about to enter the city.
Xiao Jinxuan's brows furrowed slightly, now that she knows her identity, but she still dares to stop the carriage, it can only show that the people who are blocking outside are not afraid of her identity at all.
Signaling Xiao Yunyan to lean on the inside of the carriage in a concealed manner, and outside the carriage, there was also a middle-aged man's polite but extremely tough voice:
"It's Miss Jinxuan sitting in the carriage, now the city gate is under martial law to search for a gangster, even if you are a member of the Shuai Mansion, you must be searched before you can enter the city, please forgive me for the offense, but this is the duty of our Beijing military camp, I hope Miss Jinxuan will get off the car immediately, if it is delayed, the city will have to suspect that there is indeed something suspicious about your carriage."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan did not get out of the car as she said, after all, if the carriage door was opened, Xiao Yunyan would inevitably be exposed.
Therefore, she only lifted the curtain of the car, and said calmly:
"The meaning of this Lord Dutong's words, is it possible that it has been determined that my Shuai Mansion has harbored gangsters, and I am a woman, if you are allowed to search my carriage, Jinxuan's reputation will not be ruined, but now that I am weak, you have no choice but to forcibly search me, but if after some inspection, I don't find the gangster you said in this car, then I, Xiao Jinxuan, want to ask you for an explanation, I won't just forget this matter."
Now in the Beijing Division, no one knows that Xiao Jinxuan is a new upstart, not only has the king's affection, but also has entered the eyes of Emperor Ming and Concubine Liang, and they are very fond of her.
Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan did not resist the search, but if nothing was found, the other party would inevitably be held responsible.
The Shuai Mansion is a behemoth, and no one dares to offend each other easily, plus the other party and the royal family are in charge, even the commander didn't dare to come forward to search directly for a while.
After all, Xiao Jinxuan did not cooperate with the search, and her behavior was a little strange, but this does not mean that there is definitely a problem in the other party's carriage.
As soon as the carriage opened, the other party directly dealt with them on the grounds that the name of the girl was damaged, and this consequence made people feel extremely headache just thinking about it.
Just when the commander was in a dilemma, suddenly a civil official wearing an official uniform and followed by five or six Yexuan people came to the front in a few steps.
Looking at Xiao Jinxuan's face exposed by the car window, and after confirming that the Shuaifu waist card was real, he immediately surrendered his hand and said:
"Miss Jinxuan, under is Pei Jian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, this time the envoys of various countries entered Beijing to congratulate, and the lower official is responsible for arranging these envoys of Fanbang, but today the envoy of the Yexuan Festival came to inform the official that someone intended to assassinate him, in order to ensure that all the envoys of the neighboring countries who came to my Great Zhou do not have to panic, so they had to set up roadblocks and search the cars and horses of the people, and this search has been approved by Prime Minister Xue Cheng, so please also ask the young lady to get off immediately, don't hinder our routine."
Pei Jian's words were very polite, and even a little bit of a desire to forcibly coerce Xiao Jinxuan to get out of the car.
The Xiao family is indeed deeply rooted in Beijing, and no one dares to offend easily, but don't forget that the Wenchen of the Great Zhou Dynasty is almost inextricably linked with the Prime Minister's Mansion.
And this waiter Pei Jian of the Ministry of Rites is a protégé of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xue Xiao's two families are not harmonious, and now they have the opportunity to make things difficult for the Xiao family, not to mention that Xiao Jinxuan did not cooperate with the inspection, that is, it is really a rule to accept the search, Pei Jian will find some reasons to deliberately lose the face of the other party.
After all, if Xiao Jinxuan is embarrassed and laughed at, the Shuai Mansion will also be disgraced, as long as there is a little opportunity, it can target the Xiao family, and the people who have always been in the Xiangfu faction will make unremitting efforts to entangle to the end.
Especially Xiao Jinxuan, Pei Jian also knew that the other party was not against Prince Tai, so now that the other party is in his hands, it is not good to be embarrassed, he has already made up his mind, and he will not let it go.
