The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

However, the coachman still dared not say more.

After all, this old man was his customer, and he was very generous.

They respectfully waited by the side for the master inside the carriage to tidy up. It took a full hour before the curtain of the carriage door was finally lifted again.

The coachman felt a sudden brightness before his eyes.

The old man from before has changed his appearance.

To be precise, he went from handsome and dashing to refined!

Yes, exquisite!

It's so exquisite!

He wore a set of gilded and jade-inlaid scale armor, which had been polished to a mirror shine. The shoulders were adorned with beast-head hilts, which were polished to a gleaming shine. His high-tied black hair was firmly secured with a gilded hair crown, and every strand of hair at his temples was neatly combed.

In addition, his face was fair and even, and his lips were moist and well-defined.

The coachman could only sigh.

"Is this a general who stepped out of a painting?"

But the next moment, I felt something was wrong.

General, who dresses like that?

Especially since the generals were all wearing helmets, but this one had two...

It's really baffling!

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

The customer asked a question, and the coachman quickly replied, "No, nothing, I just feel that you are extraordinary, sir. May I ask what brings you to Pukou City?"

The man smiled faintly and said, "It's fate that I rode in your carriage today. Now that Pukou City is just around the corner, I can tell you about it."

As he spoke, he stood tall and proud, like a victorious general, and said, "I am none other than Pei Wugou, the Marquis of Jingyi, specially appointed by the King of Yunjing."

"I was suddenly ordered by the King of Yunjing to come to Pukou City, capture that good-for-nothing Zhou Xiong, and defend Pukou City for him."

The coachman was startled and was about to kneel down.

But suddenly I felt something was wrong.

The leg that had been kneeling for half a moment stood up again with great strength.

He asked in confusion, "General, are you a general sent by the Prince of Yunjing? But why did you come alone?"

"Aren't there any sergeants?"

"Even if there are no soldiers accompanying you, shouldn't you at least have some attendants?"

"You...you didn't want to get your travel expenses back, so you deliberately made up this identity to fool me, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Wugou was not angry. Instead, he took out a silver ingot from the carriage and threw it to the coachman before saying, "I have been following the example of the Prince of Yunjing, living in seclusion in the mountains to pursue true love for five years now. I have long since distanced myself from the intrigues of the court."

"This time, if it weren't for the imperial guards who found me with the imperial edict, I wouldn't have come out of seclusion."

"However, since the imperial decree has arrived, I have no choice but to give face to the current Prince of Yunjing."

"only……"

As she spoke, a gentle smile appeared on Pei Wugou's face. "I have found the one I love and wish to spend a peaceful and stable life with her. I do not want her to know my true identity, so as to sever the love I have finally found."

"Then..."

"I came here all alone!"

"First, seize military control of Pukou City!"

"Defeat Ren Tianye in seven more days."

"after……"

"Then I will return to the mountains and fields, to spend my life with the woman I love!"

The coachman's mouth dropped open; he was completely bewildered by what he heard.

This reason was given...

That's absolutely outrageous!

But this is Yunjing, so it seems normal!

only……

The coachman thought that this Marquis Jingyi might have underestimated the Duke who came from the imperial court. He thought that Marquis Jingyi could defeat such a powerful army in just a few days.

However, the coachman dared not refute it.

Anyway, they gave enough money, even a lot more.

He carefully served the person and escorted them to Pukou City.

He quickly knelt down again and blew on the fan.

Pei Wugou nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alas, my beloved woman must have been so anxious after suddenly disappearing like this!"

"There's no time to lose. I need to defeat Ren Tianye as soon as possible so I can return to her side quickly."

After saying this, he got back into the carriage.

The coachman drove the carriage towards Pukou City.

Although the coachman didn't understand the thoughts of these high-ranking officials, he could tell that this Marquis Pei Wugou from Yunjing was rather anxious!

and so……

He needs to make the carriage go faster.

So as not to delay this marquis's important business.

They sped along, reducing the travel time by a third, and finally arrived at the city of Pukou. The coachman then informed them of the arrival.

"Sir, we've arrived at the foot of Pukou City."

"Let's go into town now."

Just as they were about to continue their journey into the city, Pei Wugou's voice suddenly came from inside the carriage again.

"Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong, sir?"

"Please stop the car for a moment."

"Yes, sir!" The coachman was puzzled but dared not ask any more questions. He stopped the carriage and invited Pei Wugou out.

Pei Wugou stood on the carriage shaft, glanced at Pukou City, and then said, "I haven't led troops for five years. On our first meeting, I must let them know my majesty."

"Coachman, bring some clean water."

"This lord... needs to wash up."

The coachman was taken aback.

He had just heard the old man say he wanted to show everyone his authority, and he thought he was going to do something else. Why... did he suddenly need to wash up?

No, what's the connection between dignity and washing up?

and also……

Didn't we just clean it up?

That face, that costume... even the best opera troupes would have to give way and kneel down to acknowledge him as their patriarch. Why are they disciplining him again?

The most, most, most important thing is...

Didn't I say I was in a hurry?

It made him rush to catch the train, and he finally arrived.

Stopping... isn't that just a waste of time?

The coachman had many questions in his mind, but he dared not voice any of them. He could only offer the gentleman from Yunjing water and help him wash up.

Unexpectedly, this marquis washed it very carefully.

It was tidied up very meticulously!

As a result, another hour passed after this washing.

That's when it's finally over!
