Golden branches around the East Palace

Chapter 1 The capital?What capital city?
"50 taels of silver, you can sell this woman to me as far as you can!"

"make a deal!"

"..."

"Brother, this time we can make a lot of money. We can get a woman for nothing. This capital city is really a good place!"

"Keep your voice down. It will be troublesome if someone finds out. The woman who gave us the money just now knew that she was working in a rich family's house. Maybe the sack contained something wrong with their master. My girl, I don’t want people to know about it, we have to leave the capital as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble again!”

"Brother is still considerate, but since this woman is going to be sold sooner or later, hehe, brother, or else, when we get outside the city, let's find a place first..."

"You boy is clever—"

"Haha, of course the eldest brother invites first!"

"..."

"My God, I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life!"

"Brother, tell me, we are not dreaming!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

In a daze, Ah Jiu could only vaguely hear these strange conversations, and she instinctively felt that danger was slowly approaching her, but she couldn't open her eyes no matter what.

The feeling of danger became more and more intense. At the moment when that dirty hand was about to touch her body, Ah Jiu suddenly opened his eyes, shot with lightning speed, and pinched the opponent directly. She twisted his neck lightly, only to hear a crisp sound of bone shattering, and she let go again, and the man fell limply on the ground, with only those eyes still staring round.

"Ah—" The other person next to him, who didn't know the situation, saw his elder brother's death, and squatted on the ground in fright, looking in horror at the stunning beauty who suddenly turned into a ghost.

"Female hero, spare my life, female hero, spare my life!" The man knelt down in front of Ah Jiu and kowtowed desperately.

Ah Jiu frowned, and quickly glanced at the surrounding environment, is this, a broken temple?

How could she be in such a place?

Shouldn't she be on a mission in the Middle East?By the way, she was on a mission, but when she was about to leave after completing the mission, she accidentally stepped on the mechanism set by the enemy, and then a big explosion occurred.So, after such a big explosion, shouldn't she be smashed to pieces long ago?

Then what is this place?
Suddenly, something flashed through her mind quickly, but it was too fast, and she couldn't digest it for a while.

His eyes fell on the man who was crying and begging for mercy. Through the moonlight, Ah Jiu saw his strange clothes, some, some like ancient costumes in TV dramas?
"Who are you? What is this place?" Ah Jiu looked at the man and asked coldly.

The man didn't seem to expect that Ah Jiu would talk to him, and the nervousness that was worried that he would die immediately relaxed a little. Does it mean that as long as he confesses honestly, there is still a chance of survival?Quickly replied: "The younger one's name is Zhang Er, that, that is my elder brother Zhang Da, here, this is a ruined temple outside the capital city. Ladies, please forgive me, the youngest brothers also took money from others The money you sold, the money is here, so please spare the little one, the little one will never dare again!"

As Zhang Er said, he quickly crawled to the elder brother's side, pulled out the money bag he had hidden in his cuff, and held it in front of Ah Jiu.

"The capital? What capital?" Ah Jiu's frown deepened. She probably knew that the capital should be the capital, but is there still such a saying now?

"Yes, it is Yangcheng, the capital of the imperial kingdom."
