Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

The entrance and exit of the dock were blocked by soldiers and convoys. There were already many people coming and going, and now it was completely impossible to pass through.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't take out the jade pendant in the end.

Now is not the time to reveal your identity.

Xiao Er, who was sitting on the horse, frowned and was a little embarrassed.

If this continues, traffic jams will occur and these Prince Duan's personal soldiers will also have a bad reputation.

But the prince's orders must be carried out.

Just then, another group of people hurried over.

Two tall horses led the way, followed by a very luxurious carriage, and behind them were dozens of officers and soldiers dressed in official uniforms. They came to the dock in a mighty manner, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

When they reached the front, the coachman jumped down, opened the curtain, and a slightly plump middle-aged man walked down.

The servants on both sides of the carriage all bowed respectfully.

When Xiao Er saw that person, he immediately looked surprised.

"I wonder why the prefect is here?"

The slightly plump middle-aged man smiled and looked kind: "I was wondering why the Xuzhou dock was so crowded today. It turns out that the personal soldiers of His Royal Highness Prince Duan came here. I wonder what Commander Xiao wants to do in my small Xuzhou city?"

Xiao Er frowned, hearing some unfriendly meaning in the other party's words.

This man was the prefect of Xuzhou, his surname was Yuan.

Prefect Yuan was the highest-ranking official in Xuzhou, equivalent to the mayor, a fourth-rank official, in charge of the government's orders and in charge of all the subordinate counties.

They were merely personal soldiers under the command of His Royal Highness Prince Duan, and there was really no reason for them to arrest people at will in the territory under the prefect's jurisdiction.

But to be conservative, Xiao Er still used the title of Prince Duan: "I am following the order of His Royal Highness Prince Duan to capture the fugitive. I hope the prefect will not stop me."

Prefect Yuan still squinted his eyes and smiled, "What a coincidence, I am also here on the orders of the governor to capture the imperial fugitive."

"Mr. Governor?" Xiao Er was stunned.

How come even the governor got involved?
The Inspector is an official from the capital, sent down from the capital to check the power of local officials and to be in charge of various prefectures and counties. How could he be related to the Prefect of Xuzhou?
Just as he was wondering, Prefect Yuan had already walked up to the carriage where Jiang Xiaoxiao was, and spoke in a gentle voice: "This must be Miss Jiang, right? I heard that you caught a group of robbers and fugitives on a merchant ship and were about to send them to the government office. I received an order from above, so I hurried here."

Jiang Wei, who was sitting in the driver's seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if considering something, and then smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the prefect. The robbers and fugitives are right behind us."

Prefect Yuan leaned forward slightly and took a look behind the carriage, and sure enough, he saw those people who were tied up.

As soon as he raised his hand, several government officials and soldiers nearby stepped forward and took the man away.

"Then I will take him to the government office and let the governor judge him personally. As for you..." The prefect glanced at the personal soldiers of Prince Duan on horseback, and said, "I heard that Miss Jiang and the governor are old friends. You are new to Xuzhou. If you don't mind, you can go to my house to rest for a while, and then you can catch up with the governor later."

Jiang Wei lowered his eyes, and unconsciously clenched the reins in his hands, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but there is a patient in my carriage who needs emergency treatment, and I really can't make time for you."

"It's okay. The patient is important." The prefect waved his hand with a smile, his eyes vaguely sweeping over the carriage, and then he got into his own carriage with the help of two servants.

The officials and soldiers from the government office came in a mighty force and left in a mighty force.

Only after the prefect's carriage had gone far away did Su Wanwan in the carriage ask in surprise, "Xiaoxiao, you actually know the governor? Is it the governor named Xie?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded helplessly.

Su Wanwan covered her mouth in surprise: "Who are you? It's ok for you to know martial arts, but how do you know such an important person?!" Jiang Xiaoxiao was silent.

Not only Governor Xie, they also knew the son of General Shen of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion.

He is a second-rank official.

"But..." Su Wanwan frowned slightly, "Why don't you accept the prefect's invitation and go to his house to avoid the limelight?"

Outside were all Prince Duan's personal soldiers, so they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

In response to Su Wanwan's confusion, Jiang Xiaoxiao did not say anything, but just sighed deeply.

How could she not know that leaving with the prefect was the safest and most secure approach?

but……

Those people in the capital who were sent to assassinate them knew that they had come to Xuzhou. How could the governor who was always keeping an eye on them not know?

Otherwise, he would not have sent the prefect over as soon as they got off the boat. I guess he knew about the assassination attempt they encountered on the boat.

However, it is still unknown whether he came to Xuzhou to save them or for the tiger talisman...

The tiger talisman was given to her by Shen Que himself. Unless Shen Que asked for it back personally, she could not trust anyone.

"What should we do? Outside are all soldiers led by Xiao Lao Er. They are the most powerful personal soldiers under Prince Duan..." Su Wanwan lifted the curtains and looked worriedly at the officers and soldiers who were surrounding the place. "How about we show the jade pendant..."

Before she finished speaking, a black-clad guard riding a fast horse suddenly came hurriedly and whispered a few words in Xiao Er's ear.

Prince Duan's expression changed instantly, and his eyes shifted and looked towards the carriage fiercely.

Su Wanwan was caught off guard and met Xiao Er's eyes through the narrow car window.

Although it was only a brief second, she was still so shocked that she hurriedly put down the curtain in her hand and patted her chest in fear.

We were so far away, that guy probably didn't notice me...

Su Wanwan comforted herself with hope.

But after seeing clearly that the person in the carriage was Prince Duan's Consort, Xiao Er, the leader of Prince Duan's personal guards, was still stunned.

"Are you serious?" he asked the black-clad guard beside him.

The black-clad guard was a secret servant who followed Prince Duan. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "The prince already knows what happened on the princess's ship. He ordered us to protect her in secret. He has his own plans."

Xiao Er's face was full of helplessness.

Although he was in charge of the king's personal soldiers, as a subordinate, he was really exhausted by having to deal with this couple who quarreled, got angry and broke up every other day.

But it had to be done.

If Jiang Xiaoxiao were here at this moment, she would definitely curse: Damn this crazy couple!

After receiving the order, Xiao Er waved his hand and finally withdrew his troops.

Seeing Xiao Er riding away, Su Wanwan in the carriage finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Wanwan." Jiang Xiaoxiao tilted her head and asked her, "Why did you leave the palace alone? Was the Prince Duan not good to you?" (End of this chapter)
