Concubine's true colors

Chapter 265 The truth about the injury
With Pei Jian's backing, the General Dutong who blocked the way immediately stiffened a lot.

The Beijing Army Camp is under the direct control of the Ministry of War, and most of the officials from the six ministries are grouped together in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it's difficult for the Xiao family, that is to please the Xue family in disguise.

Although he knew that Xiao Jinxuan was backed by Yu Wang, but seeing that the other party was a gentle-faced little girl, as soon as the fear in his heart disappeared, the Dutong who was in charge of the city gate would immediately lead someone to forcefully break through the car door.

Seeing this, Chi Ling was about to fight back immediately, Xiao Jinxuan raised her voice to stop her, then took out a shiny golden object from her cuff, and immediately threw her hand away, and smashed it on the head of the Dutong.

Because he was in charge of the inspection at the city gate, this man was wearing armor, but for convenience, he did not wear a helmet. As a result, he only heard a "bang", and his head was immediately hit by something thrown by Xiao Jinxuan Broken blood.

After all, he was born as a military commander. This Dutong was extremely fast anyway. He was hit in the head, and he subconsciously caught the hard object hitting him.

Frustrated, he threw the thing in his hand to the ground fiercely, looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a ferocious face, and pulled out the saber in his hand instantly.

This Beijing military camp has always been under the command of the prime minister, so it can be said that he and Pei Jian are of the same breed. Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was not in trouble, but her own was injured first, Pei Jian was stunned for a long time before she recovered.

"Miss Jinxuan, what do you mean? Liu Dutong is a general. Even if you are the daughter of the commander-in-chief, how can you injure court officials arbitrarily? Based on this, today I will not only search your carriage, You can't detain it to the official department for questioning."

The Liu surname was all injured. Although Pei Jian was frightened and angry for a moment, she felt that Xiao Jinxuan didn't take them seriously, but when she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Because the other party did this, undoubtedly causing trouble to the upper body. Originally, they just wanted to make things difficult for Xiao Jinxuan in the interrogation, but now Pei Jian has a reason to arrest the other party in the name of a disabled court official.

Even if Yu Wang pursued it afterwards, he was only acting according to the law, and no one could do anything to him.

And losing the face of the Xiao family, Xue Xiang will definitely be happy when the time comes, then the chance for him to be promoted will come soon, the more he thinks about it, the more impatient Pei Jian is, and he wants to grab someone immediately.

But Xiao Jinxuan looked at the other party's awe-inspiring, but actually bad-hearted appearance, and she didn't show any panic at all. Seeing Xiao Yunyan in the car, she couldn't help but draw her sword to meet the enemy. She signaled the other party not to move, and then calmed down Leisurely said:

"Master Pei, forgive me for not being able to understand you at all. Just now I just wanted to throw the golden dragon and jade pendant bestowed on me by the emperor to Liu Dutong. People, Jinxuan is also extremely sorry, but you said that I intentionally injured court officials, this is a bit too much."

Originally, Pei Jian, who couldn't wait to step forward to grab someone, immediately froze in shock after hearing the Golden Dragon and Jade Pendant, but Xiao Jinxuan ignored him anyway, and continued on her own:
"The Golden Dragon Jade Pendant doesn't need to pass through to enter the palace directly. I, Xiao Jinxuan, can pass through the forbidden area of ​​the imperial city without hindrance. It's just a gate of the capital. Mr. Pei, you think I want to go there. How can you get me?"

Looking at Liu Dutong, who was holding the wound on his forehead, but didn't dare to get angry and raise the knife, Xiao Jinxuan smiled at him, and then said in a cold voice:
"Let's not say that the hit I hit you was intentional, but Liu Dutong is really courageous, the only five golden dragon jade pendants in the Great Zhou that were bestowed by the Holy Majesty, you will drop them if you say so. Fortunately, this jade pendant is made of pure gold, and the jade dragon embedded in the center is also wrapped in gold thread, otherwise, Master Liu will destroy the sacred object in front of the imperial court if he falls, let alone bleeding from his forehead. It's hard to keep your head."

Hearing this, Liu Dutong, who was kneeling on the ground, reverently and tremblingly about to pick up the golden dragon and jade pendant again, broke out in a cold sweat.

Not caring about the unstoppable blood dripping down his face, Liu Dutong hurriedly picked up the jade pendant carefully, and then came to Xiao Jinxuan respectfully.

The posture of intentionally making things difficult just now has long since disappeared. Liu Dutong said in a trembling voice:

"Miss Jinxuan, for the sake of being a vulgar person, you must not forget the fault of a villain. If you know that the nobleman has a golden dragon and jade pendant, the official will welcome you into the city long ago. Please forgive me for the offense. , your carriage can go directly."

Xiao Jinxuan took the jade pendant and put it away again. Although Xiao Yunyan was hidden in the car, she wanted to leave immediately, but she was in a hurry, and it would be more likely to cause suspicion if it was not good.

Therefore, I saw Xiao Jinxuan, as if she was not in a hurry to leave at all, but looked at Pei Jian who was in the same panic and was wiping off a cold sweat, and then pointed at those Yexuan people and said:

"Your Excellency Pei is really responsible for his errands. In order to help these foreign envoys, even if the people in the capital are panicked and the people are in turmoil, don't think about it. Don't forget that you are a courtier of the Great Zhou, and the Yexu people are the envoys. , I will abide by our laws when I come to Dazhou, what happened to me today will definitely be reported to the court, and I will argue with you at that time."

As the saying goes, if you lose, you don't lose. The stronger Xiao Jinxuan's attitude is, the less daring Pei Jian and the others are to move. Even those Ye Xun people who showed unwilling faces didn't dare to step forward when the carriage passed by. Get in the way.

After some twists and turns, she entered the city safely, immediately Xiao Jinxuan let Chi Ling drive the carriage into a secluded alley, and then said to Xiao Yunyan:
"Since we've already entered the city, no one dares to make too much noise here. Your safety is safe now, so get out of the car quickly. Even if we meet in the future, just pretend that you don't know me. It's good for both of us." There are benefits."

Seeing that just out of danger, Xiao Jinxuan immediately expelled herself, Xiao Yunyan smiled helplessly, then did not get out of the car directly, but said with great interest:
"The Xiao family army stationed in the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the Xiao family army. The longest battle between us and the Bei Rong is your Xiao family. Although we are both surnamed Xiao, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country is enmity, but I never thought that my life, Xiao Yunyan , and now I was rescued by someone from the commander-in-chief's mansion, do you think I should continue to hate you now, or should I repay you and be grateful."

Many people in the Xiao family, including Xiao Jinxuan's second uncle Xiao Hua, who is also the husband of the Shen family, all died in the struggle against Beirong, so just like Xiao Yunyan said, they are old enemies with each other, and they are involved in today's battle. This kindness is indeed an anomaly.

And Xiao Jinxuan also glanced at the other party at this moment, and then said calmly:
"Most of the grievances between you and my Xiao family come from the battlefield. These have nothing to do with me. On the contrary, you Beirong people made a despicable move in secret and shot Xianyu with poisonous arrows. I will definitely remember this enmity for the rest of my life. You don't have to thank me. Although I knew you were from Beirong before I saved you, I didn't realize that you were a member of the royal family. I only confirmed this when I saw the totem on your clothes in the carriage. If I found out earlier, There is no way I can save you."

I heard that this is the second time that Xiao Jinxuan mentioned Zhou Xianyu's being shot, and the other party also called the prince by his name directly, without any shyness.

Xiao Yunyan still couldn't tell that the daughter of the handsome mansion in front of him must have a deep relationship with the war king of the Great Zhou.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was really bored with her face, and after entering Changping City, Xiao Yunyan wanted to get in touch with his own people quickly, so he didn't say much immediately, and jumped off the carriage directly.

But when he walked around to the car window, through the bamboo curtain, his voice suddenly froze, and he said with a slight smile:
"Your name is Xiao Jinxuan, right? I remember your name. I, Xiao Yunyan, don't like to owe people favors. Now that you have saved me, I will tell you one thing. I guarantee that its value will not make you regret saving me." of."

Seeing the vaguely visible figure of Xiao Jinxuan in the car through the bamboo curtain, she didn't move when she heard this, let alone speak up.

Immediately Xiao Yunyan didn't care, but moved closer to the car window, the smile on his face faded, and a deep color flashed in his eyes and said:
"Although you may not believe me if I tell you, I still want to tell you that the person who shot Zhou Xianyu secretly with a cold arrow was not done by me at all. I was also present in the battle a few months ago and assassinated the enemy commander. This kind of matter has not been discussed and settled on our side, and none of the people below dare to act privately."

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan in the car, after hearing these words, she turned her head around and looked at him slightly, Xiao Yunyan immediately said again:

"We didn't do it. The ones who shot the arrows must be your own people, but afterwards the assassination was pushed to our Beirong's head. We knew that you assassinated each other internally, and we also intend to inherit this basin of dirty water." , to cover up the person who made the attack, so that he might have a chance to kill Zhou Xianyu next time. If you hadn’t saved me today, I wouldn’t have revealed such secrets. Why did I tell you such a thing? , is worth the kindness owed to you."

Xiao Jinxuan, who had clenched her hands into fists because of anger, immediately controlled her voice when she heard this, and said as calmly as possible:

"If everything you said is true, we will settle the matter of saving your life from now on, but if you dare to lie to me, I guarantee that you will not be able to leave Da Zhou alive."

Xiao Yunyan had heard many threatening words, but it was the first time to be warned by a woman.

But regarding Xiao Jinxuan's words, he instinctively felt that the other party was not talking big.

Especially the scene at the gate of the city made him realize clearly that the other party was by no means a simple young lady, but his words were indeed true, and he didn't hide anything about it.

After thanking Xiao Jinxuan again for her kindness, Xiao Yunyan didn't delay, and immediately turned into the alley, and then disappeared in a flash.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who undoubtedly got a big piece of information, has an ugly look at this meeting. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide a hidden arrow and it is difficult to defend against it. If there is really someone with a different heart by Zhou Xianyu's side, then this hidden danger is too deadly. , must be removed immediately.

Immediately, she didn't dare to delay any longer, and Xiao Jinxuan didn't go back to the commander's mansion directly.

Instead, he asked Chi Ling to drive the worn-out carriage, and was going to the place where the carriage was hired on the street, to dispose of the old horse, and to hire a new carriage with good footsteps, and then went to Prince Rui's mansion first, to get the information, and Discuss with the other party.

It didn't take long before they hired a new carriage and got out of the worn-out carriage. Just as Xiao Jinxuan was about to board the new carriage, suddenly from behind her came the soft chuckle of a man.

"Miss Si came out of the commander's mansion, why didn't she even prepare a carriage, and even wanted to show her face in the street and hire this street driver. In fact, if Miss doesn't give up, Ling Feng is willing to give you a ride. I don't know what Miss Si will like."
