Chapter 81 Hanging out

The army marched to the nearest city, Yuecheng.

The mighty army and the dragon passed through Moon City without seeing its tail.

Xu Yihuan followed the team until it was almost dark before she saw the gate of Yuecheng City. She lifted the curtain and looked sideways, and saw a man in blue official uniform standing at the gate of the city.

The army passed the men and walked straight into the city. As night fell, the sky became colder and colder, and the soldiers marched much faster.

The cold wind blew by, and the man shivered a few times, and he gathered his cloak tightly. The snow-white fur collar on the cloak made Xu Yihuan jealous.

The man would glance behind the team from time to time. He had been standing at the gate of the city for half a quarter of an hour. After seeing Marshal Xue and the three princes, he thought nothing was going on, but later he realized that one prince was missing.

After asking, I found out that King Jin was actually placed at the end of the team. In desperation, he had no choice but to make way for others to advance into the city. He had to salute King Jin at the city gate before he could enter.

He is the cousin and brother of the current queen. It is a great honor to be able to lead a county alone. He has not suffered in these years, and no one dares to let him suffer. If there is no prince in the team this time, he would not want to come out to greet him. .

When Yeshang came closer, the man spotted Yeshang at a glance. His eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands:
  "Xie An, the magistrate of Yuecheng County, met the King of Jin"

King Jin slept on his horse without saying a word all the way. When he saw Xie An, he nodded expressionlessly and followed the team into the city.

After the people walked away, Xie An frowned, rolled up his sleeves and cursed: "He is just a prince who lives a common life, but he is so angry."

A group of clerks stood behind him in a daze, glancing at him slightly, cursing in their hearts: They didn't say anything, who is so angry? Isn't this obvious?
  The Queen is so powerful that even His Majesty wants to give her some ground. He is just showing off his power here because of his blood relationship with the Queen. King Jin is still a prince.

who are you?
  But the clerk stood behind him and did not dare to say these words. He could only think silently in his heart.

After Xie An finished cursing, it was already dark. The clerks following him said nothing, waiting for him to speak and return to the city. However, hundreds of prisoners suddenly rushed out and were taken into custody by the Jin army.

Xie An took a look and saw that everyone was wearing black clothes, and he immediately understood.

My heart skipped a beat, and I put away the arrogant arrogance on my face and said, "Let's go back to the city."

The queen dislikes King Jin and has wanted to kill him for a long time. Everyone in the civil and military dynasties knows this. However, because King Jin is weak in the court and because of his mother's identity, very few people are willing to speak for him.

Now that he saw the man in black being captured, he guessed that the assassin sent by the Queen had failed.

Moreover, many secrets may have been revealed.

Yeshang originally didn't want to bring the prisoner back to Yuecheng, but when he thought about the prisoner and the confession he finally captured, he still brought him here, mainly to scare the queen and the assassin who would assassinate him next.

Unexpectedly, this incident caused the county magistrate of Yuecheng to panic in advance.

After he saw the army entering the city, the first thing he did was to write a letter to the queen telling her that her plan failed and that the people he sent out were captured.

After that, he ran to ask the three princes.

Xie An didn't know that the three princes had already had differences, especially King Pingzhang and the fifth prince. He knew that he had ignored the safety of the sixth prince and did not send anyone to take care of him. He looked guilty all the way.

The sixth prince was disappointed all day long. The three princes who had planned to rest were interrupted by Xie An just as they entered the Yuecheng County government office to rest.

Because Xie An was the queen's distant cousin, the three princes could only give him a face-to-face reception.

Seeing this, Xie An started talking about the prisoners again, which made the three princes think about what happened last night again, and the three princes' faces were unusually dark.

Xie An didn't know what happened to the three of them. He only knew that after he finished talking about the prisoners, the three princes looked at each other, threw up their sleeves and left without looking back.

After King Jin took Miss Xu and Magistrate Liu to pay attention to the county government office, they also met Xie An in the yard. When Xie An thought about seeing the prisoners in black at the city gate, his face turned pale with fright.

Xu Yihuan still didn't know the relationship between Xie An and the queen, she just thought this person was strange. Seeing Xie An's reaction, Magistrate Liu and Yeshang smiled in unison and shook their heads before going back to their rooms.

Xu Yihuan had been riding in a carriage all day, but unlike Magistrate Liu and others, she had returned to Yuecheng. Instead, she wanted to go for a walk.

So I took Xiaochun out of the county government office in Yuecheng and went out for a walk.

Yeshang didn't stop her either. He knew that she was good at martial arts and had the ability to protect herself. Plus he had dead soldiers following him after nightfall, so he naturally didn't worry about this.

When County Magistrate Liu saw that Xu Yihuan was interested in Yuecheng, he simply became Xu Yihuan's guide.

“Yuecheng is most famous for dog meat.”

When Xu Yihuan heard this, her brain seemed to be hit: Dog meat, isn't that what modern ancient books say Liu Bang sells dog meat in Peixian County?

She nodded thoughtfully. Her neighbor Granny Gui once told her that if you eat dog meat, you will be chased by dogs.

"Dog meat, forget it, I don't eat that food." Xu Yihuan smiled awkwardly at Magistrate Liu.

After swallowing what she wanted to say, she still couldn't tell him that she was from the 21st century, and maybe the time and space she lived in had nothing to do with this place.

Magistrate Liu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "Okay"

The two of them strolled on the street for half a quarter of an hour before Xu Yihuan came out.

Yuecheng and Xiaocheng are simply incomparable, with low and flat houses.

A poor wine shop and inn, but in the end, Xu Yihuan finally saw a splendid wealthy family near the back of the county government office.

Xu Yi looked up with a smile and looked at the black and gold plaque at the door of the mansion with two words written on it: Xie Mansion.

Magistrate Liu followed Xu Yihuan, but his forehead twitched, with a bad premonition.

"Miss Xu, you don't want to go in, do you?" He asked rhetorically, but it was more like reminding her that she had better not go in this place.

Xu Yihuan finally found a mansion with a better environment. How could he let it go?

"Go and have a look, it doesn't cost anything." Xu Yihuan waved and asked Xiaochun to knock on the door.

Xiaochun followed Xu Yihuan all the way, becoming more and more courageous. She lifted her skirt and walked up quickly.

"Bang bang bang" there was a knocking sound on the door.

"Help, help, please let me go, let me go." The door was opened, and a woman's voice calling for help came from inside the house.

When Xu Yihuan heard this, she frowned, squinting past the doorman who opened the door and peering in, vaguely seeing a teenage girl.

The guard looked up and saw that Xu Yihuan was wearing a white cloak covering her body at the sleeves of her brocade clothes, looking extremely noble.

The guard is also a man who has seen the world, and he can tell at a glance that this woman is distinguished.

Then I thought that today the master went to the city gate to pick up people, and I thought that the woman should be the noble person who followed the army into the city today.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Young man, I have seen a noble person, but I don't know who the noble person is? I wish I could report to the master."

Xu Yihuan's eyes fell on the woman who was begging for mercy frequently in the mansion. She didn't have time to listen to the guard's blind compliments, so she raised her feet and rushed in regardless.
