Chapter 420 News
Some time ago, I was bored in the mansion and my foot injury had not healed, so Kadar did not allow Xiao Li to leave, so Xiao Li wandered around the mansion every day, so I already knew the location in the mansion. Xiao Li took advantage of the dark night, without the company of a maid and no lights, so she walked towards the courtyard where Kadar lived in the sky under the light of a bright moon.
As soon as he walked into Kadal's courtyard, Xiao Li felt a little strange. As an important official of the court, Kadal lived in the courtyard where he lived, there was no one to guard it. Although Kadal's martial arts skills are not low, he had to be careful. Is it because Kadal is too confident in his martial arts skills, or is there any ulterior secret in this courtyard?
Xiao Li took light steps and slowly walked into the yard to scan it. He hesitated for a while, guessing that Kadal had just returned from the palace and would not have a rest. In some aspects, Kadal, like Huangfu Haotian, is a man with ability, strategy and ambition. So Xiao Li is sure that Kadal should be in the study at this moment, so she walked towards the study without hesitation.
Sure enough, there was still a light in the study. As soon as Xiao Li was about to knock on the door, she heard the sound of conversation inside, so she subconsciously squatted down and hid to the side.
"You really want to marry that woman?" Xiao Li heard some old voices coming from the house. Xiao Li was not unfamiliar with this voice, it was Kadal's father, the voice of the old general of the Jing Kingdom. Xiao Li browed deeply. The old general had already retreated to the court and did not ask about political affairs. Now the general of the Jing Kingdom is Kadal. What's the matter with the old general coming to find Kadal? Who is the woman in the old general? Is it referring to himself? Xiao Li's heart was filled with questions again.
"Father, the emperor has agreed to this matter, so don't ask more questions." Kadal's voice sounded a little tired and a little irritable, as if he was troubled by something again.
The old general sighed and said helplessly: "Since the emperor has agreed, I won't say much. But this does not mean that I can accept a woman from a foreign country as my daughter-in-law, let alone this woman is an unclean woman. If it weren't for our country of mirrors, I wouldn't agree even if I die." The old general said a little disdainful later.
Xiao Li had already heard from the old general's tone that this woman was referring to him.
But what made Xiao Li puzzled was that since General Xiao disliked him so much, why did he agree to let Kardar marry him? Why did he use the country of the Kingdom of Mirror to exchange for himself? Is it so important? And where did this so-called for the Kingdom of Mirror start?
Xiao Li knew that eavesdropping was not something that a gentleman did, but then he thought that he was just a little woman. Besides, this matter was related to him, so Xiao Li couldn't care about so much and hid under the window and continued to eavesdrop.
"Since that's the case, my father should not say anything. Let's go back and rest early." Kadal had issued an order to expel guests. At first, Kadal just wanted to marry Xiao Li, but things seemed to have developed beyond Kadal's expectations, and his marriage seemed to be a political means.
"Have the monarch of Ling Kingdom not replied yet? We used ten cities to exchange for an infidelity woman. They should agree without hesitation. Do you still want to be more aggressive now?" The old general seemed not to notice Kadal's displeasure and continued.
"Don't my father know why the emperor is willing to exchange ten cities for a woman to negotiate peace?" After hearing his father's disdain for Xiao Li, Kadal couldn't help but get angry. He looked at his father mockingly and asked: "With our country's current strength, it's just a superficial glory. Although he has won several battles, he has suffered heavy losses. Not to mention casualties, he said that the years of war has caused the treasury to be empty. The people complained that in fact, it is our country that wants to calm the war the most, and we are just using a woman."
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with our country of mirror?" General Xiao asked angrily, not tolerating others to say that his country is bad, even if that person is his own son.
"Since my father is so dissatisfied with Xiao Li, why would he agree to me marry her? Isn't it because he knows that our country is at the end of his strength and vulnerable? If he hadn't used Xiao Li to request peace talks, my father would probably not even look at her, not even keeping her in the mansion."
Kadal looked at the old general with a sneer, "Father, please go back and rest. I still have some memorials to read." Kadal issued an order to expel the old general again. Seeing that the old general looked a little ugly, Kadal ignored it and sat down directly in his seat to open the memorials, and ignored the old general. Seeing this, the old general could only leave Kadal's study in a hurry, and did not find Xiao Li hiding outside the door.
After seeing the old general leave, Xiao Li saw Kadal's brows locked through the crack of the door that was not closed, with a serious expression. Finally, she untied the doubts in her heart. Xiao Li secretly returned to her room again and thought about the words she had eavesdropped just now. She thought Kadal really liked her and had to marry her. That was because she was a little sorry for Kadal, but now Xiao Li knew that Kadal had other purpose in marrying her. In this way, if she did anything excessive to Kadal in the future, Xiao Li would not be sorry for Kadal.
Since Kadal married him for the sake of the Kingdom of Jing, if Ling Kingdom sends troops to attack the Kingdom of Jing, he can not only subdue the Kingdom of Jing, but also he doesn't have to marry Kadal. Xiao Li seemed to see hope and couldn't wait to write a letter back to Ling Kingdom, so that they can't wait to send troops to attack the Kingdom of Jing.
As soon as the sky was dawn in the morning, Xiao Li got up. It can be said that Xiao Li was so excited that she couldn't speak because she received important news. So she got up early to write a letter. Although she knew that Huangfu Haotian was still hesitating to save him, and although she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it, Xiao Li was the first to think of Huangfu Haotian. Xiao Li hoped that Huangfu Haotian could immediately lead his troops to attack and rescue him after receiving his letter.
Xiao Li sent the maid down, locked herself in the house and wrote a letter, and wrote the situation of Jingguo in the letter without saying a word, hoping to let Huangfu Haotian understand the current situation of Jingguo better, and also asked Huangfu Haotian to send troops to attack Jingguo as soon as possible.
"Qin Jian, remember, this letter must be handed over to the prince himself. Whether I can rescue me depends on this letter." Xiao Li went out of the mansion as usual to go shopping, then quietly found Qin Jian, handed the letter to Qin Jian very carefully, and repeatedly reminded: "There is a very important thing in this letter to tell the prince that you must hurry up and hand it to the prince himself."
"Don't worry, Princess, I will go out to Lingguo immediately later and I will hand over the letter to the prince." Qin Jian assured Xiao Li firmly and tightly put the letter into his arms.
"I believe in you, you must pay attention to safety along the way." Xiao Li sent Qin Jian to the city gate and watched Qin Jian walk out of the city gate with his own eyes with his only hope of saving him.
In order to save Xiao Li, Qin Jian traveled day and night. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Qin Jian also dressed himself up in men's clothes. Fortunately, Qin Jian went smoothly along the way and did not encounter any trouble. He was about to arrive in the capital of Lingguo. Qin Jian was even more anxious and wanted to see Huangfu Haotian immediately hand over the letter and ask him to send troops to Xiao Li as soon as possible.
"Prince, see if that person is Qin Jian, the maid next to the Crown Princess?" Huangfu Haobo came back from outside the city with the guards. When he entered the city gate, a follower next to Huangfu Haobo pointed to a man dressed in men not far away and said to Huangfu Haobo.
Huangfu Haobo looked in the direction of his follower's finger. Although Qin Jian was dressed in men's clothes, Huangfu Haobo was not unfamiliar with Qin Jian. In the past, Huangfu Haobo tried his best to marry Xiao Li and met Xiao Li's close maid many times. Although Huangfu Haobo recognized Qin Jian at a glance.
Huangfu Haobo looked around Qinjian carefully and found that there was no Xiao Li's figure. He felt a little strange and said to himself: "Now that the Crown Princess has been caught in the Kingdom of Jing, shouldn't she be with the Crown Princess? Why did she suddenly appear here? Is she going to enter the city? Is there any purpose?" Huangfu Haobo found that Qinjian's behavior was a bit suspicious.
The incident of Xiao Li running away from home with her maid spread in the capital soon after. Now Xiao Li has been captured by Jingguo. As a personal maid, how could she appear in Jingguo? She has dressed up like this?
Huangfu Haobo hooked his hand, and the entourage behind him immediately reacted and approached Huangfu Haobo waiting for the call. Huangfu Haobo muttered a few words in the ear of the entourage, then saw the entourage nodding constantly, and then looked at Qin Jian in the distance meaningfully. After giving instructions, Huangfu Haobo rode into the city on a horse. Huangfu Haobo believed that his subordinates would do the rest.
Qin Jian came to the gate of Lingguo Jingcheng and did not rush into the city. Instead, he looked at the environment not far from the gate, hoping to wait until there were few people at night to sneak into the city.
The capital is no better than outside the pass. Although Qin Jian has dressed up, I am still worried that it will be easily recognized. As Xiao Li's maid, if she suddenly appears in the capital, it will definitely arouse others' suspicion.
Qin Jian waited until dark before walking towards the city gate. She thought it was going well, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.
"You, stop. Where did you come from? Why are you going to Beijing so late?" the soldier walked into Qin Jian and asked loudly.
"I, my family lives in the capital. I went to visit my relatives a few days ago and I came back today." Qin Jian was startled by the soldiers' voices. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately found an excuse to say.
The soldier circled around Qinjian and looked at it. He heard Qinjian’s sound of the sound of the capital. He did not doubt much and waved his hand to let Qinjian enter the city.
Qin Jian held back his breath and quickly entered the city. After a distance from the city gate, Qin Jian let out a breath. When the soldiers called Qin Jian just now, Qin Jian almost stopped beating in fear. Finally, he returned to the capital. As long as he handed the letter in his arms to Huangfu Haotian, his mission was completed and Xiao Li could be saved. Thinking of this, Qin Jian did not dare to waste time anymore and was about to walk towards the Prince's Mansion. He had just taken two steps and was knocked unconscious from behind.
