Chapter 11 The decree arrives

"Slave Qingxuan, please greet me."

In the room, a woman wearing an undershirt was sleeping upright on the floor, with her fingers folded on her belly. When the sound came, the woman sat upright and looked at the maid who stopped not far away with vigilant eyes.

"Who are you? What are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Slave Qingxuan has seen the young lady." The maid in green clothes knelt down and kowtowed.

"Qingxuan? I'm from the Qing generation. Are you from my grandmother's side?"

Su Yunhe remembered that there were maids from the green generation and blue generation around her grandmother.

I heard from my brother that when he was young, he was a female general who followed my grandmother on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, because the Ye Dynasty did not recognize the status of female generals and was unwilling to give them official positions, they could only continue to serve their grandmothers after they retired.

Grandma was different because she was different from them. Grandma was from a famous family, so Ye Shi was given an official position in order to explain things to her natal family.

But because she was a woman, she was only given a false position.

At least it sounds nicer.

Now that grandma is old, the imperial court has long since taken away that empty job and replaced it with the royal life that grandpa earned for grandma.

"Exactly," Qingxuan nodded, with a respectful expression: "The old lady is not worried about the young lady, so she asked the slave to serve the young lady."

"But, I remember that people of the Qing generation are all of a certain age."

Qingxuan nodded: "My grandma went to conquer the world with the old lady in the Yuan Dynasty. When the slave was five years old, the old lady thought that the slave was smart, so she named her Qingxuan."

"This slave is the third generation descendant of the Qing generation."

"Yesterday, Qingxuan just left the army and is here today."

"So she's Grandma Yuan's granddaughter," Su Yunhe looked at her.

Qingxuan stood up straight and avoided Su Yunhe's sight as a sign of respect.

Yuan Dynasty was my grandmother's personal nanny. She was also an expert on the battlefield with one against ten, and she was the leader of the female soldiers of the Qing generation.

She is the only female soldier around my grandmother who does not start with the character "青".

However, she remembered that her grandmother did not give Qingxuan to her in her previous life.

At this time in her previous life, she should have been trying to please Prince Li in Prince Li's Mansion.

With her like that, it would be hard for her grandmother to send such a talented person in, right?
After all, at that time, she would do anything for Prince Li.

"what can you do?"

Qingxuan: "I can do spears, arrows, swords, and knives."

"What about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Qingxuan frowned.

Su Yunhe became interested: "What? You can't do it anymore?"

Qingxuan shook her head: "Yes, but I don't like it."

"In her whole life, Qingxuan loves generals to kill enemy invaders and protect our rivers and mountains."

Su Yunhe stood up, "So, you actually don't want to follow me. You just have to come because of the old lady's order. Am I right?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Qingxuan's eyes, and she froze on the spot.

Then, she cupped her fists and said, "Miss Qichen, I don't dare."

"The old lady ordered my slave to protect the young lady. I will fulfill my duty."

"You are sincere," Su Yunhe stood up, "Grandma only sent you here?"

Logically speaking, it's impossible. Based on Qingxuan's temperament, she looks quite unruly.

By sending such a person to her, are you planning to train her yourself?
Where did she get her spare time?

"The slave does not know."

Su Yunhe looked at Qingxuan and said nothing for a long time.

She was really speechless now.

However, if this Qingxuan is really a rare military commander, maybe he will come in handy by her side in the future.After all, not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bandits outside Kyoto will start to stir up trouble.

"Go, come out with me for a walk."

Qingxuan was confused for a moment, why was she going out suddenly?
But Qingxuan didn't ask and followed obediently.

Suyunhe took Qingxuan out of the house smoothly, and then took a small path to General Gongye's mansion.

At this time, there was a heavy siege outside the general's mansion.

Su Yunhe keenly felt the aura on Qingxuan's body fluctuate, and then disappeared again.

"You're not going to rush in?"

Su Yunhe turned his head and looked at Qingxuan.

Qingxuan shook her head: "Miss, we can't charge now. There are too many people on the other side, so we can't beat him."

He still has some brains, not a brainless warrior.

Su Yunhe turned his head and continued to look over there.

"Miss, how did you know that people from Su Mansion would come today?"

Su Yunhe didn't look back: "I heard it."

heard it?
What's the matter?
Qingxuan fell into deep thought.

In fact, she had already woken up when Old Man Su took people out.

Although he asked people to be quieter, she had already guessed that since she was sleeping on the ground, and because of her sharp ears and eyesight, the movement at close range could not be hidden from her at all.

As soon as you hear the sound, just pinch it a little more and take a shortcut.

In front of the gate of General Gongye's mansion, two old men in official uniforms stood together, with many officers and soldiers standing behind them, looking menacing.

Opposite was a graceful old lady standing.

"Mom, I'm really sorry. An assassin entered the imperial city last night. Someone saw the assassin entering General Gongye's mansion with his own eyes. As the Minister of Dali Temple, Mr. Xie has the responsibility to handle this matter."

"Please help me, mother."

Mrs. Gongye's face was expressionless and majestic.

"Isn't this the Prime Minister? Don't call me so intimate, Prime Minister. I can't bear it."

After Mrs. Gongye finished speaking, she looked at Master Xie who was sweating profusely.

"See how sweaty Mr. Xie is from running. He is really a loyal minister of my Great Ye Dynasty. One day I will ask my husband to report to the court to commend Mr. Xie for his loyalty and bravery."

Mr. Xie was sweating coldly: "The old lady is joking. When it comes to loyalty and bravery, who can compare to General Gongye?"

"Since you know that my husband is General Gongye, you still dare to search the house recklessly?"

Old Madam Gongye's scepter smashed hard on the ground, "My husband, Gongye Wushuang, has been granted the title of First-Rank General by Your Majesty. How could you break into his mansion at your request?"

Su Junhao's face was extremely ugly.

"Mom, I do things impartially, so you better not embarrass me, right?"

"Do things impartially? Okay." The old lady looked at Mr. Xie with sharp eyes.

"May I ask Mr. Xie, does Mr. Xie have His Majesty's wishes?"

Mr. Xie hesitated and kept glancing at Su Junhao from the corner of his eye.

Mrs. Gongye sneered: "After all, our Gongye Mansion is the residence of a first-class general granted by His Majesty. Without His Majesty's will, no one can search it arbitrarily!"

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came quickly.

"The decree arrives—"

Su Mochen got off his horse and held the yellow scroll in his hand, holding it high.

"The decree arrives—"

Everyone immediately knelt down to greet him, except for Mrs. Gongye, who had been excused from kneeling down.

"Your Majesty has a decree. Today, thank you for capturing the assassin. No one is allowed to stop him. Anyone who violates this will be killed!"
