The white crested boots are embroidered with a blue bird. This is definitely not a high-ranking official, but a royal symbol.

"Wait, tell me where this is first?" Ah Jiu looked around worriedly, feeling an ominous premonition.

"Go back to my lady, this is King Qi's palace. However, you are lucky. King Qi personally ordered the slaves to take good care of you."

As Lian'er spoke, she helped Ah Jiu tie the brocade belt around her waist, and then knelt down to help Ah Jiu put on her shoes.

Ah Jiu was stunned on the spot and let Lian'er help her put it on.

Damn it, how did you get to King Qi's palace? You must know that Menghua City is separated by two cities and Liushan Pass.

Moreover, if she came from the official road, she would definitely pass by Yong'an City, and the soldiers there would definitely recognize her.

In other words, if she took a detour, she would have to ride at least half a month faster.

Half a month?

"Girl, please." Lian'er made a gesture of invitation, pointing to the position of the dressing table.

Ah Jiu's waist-long hair is spread behind her, and her beautiful face is white and rosy, highlighting the cinnabar moles under her eyes:

"No."

As he spoke, he took off the red rope from the curtain and tied his hair hastily back, letting it hang naturally on his shoulders.

It's over, no wonder she has been so tired during this time, but the life she spent with her grandma in those days was so real.

Now I can't tell whether it is a dream or reality, and my heart suddenly feels sour.

Ah Jiu sniffed and stood up and said, "Where is King Qi?"

Seeing that she was neither crying nor making a fuss, Lian'er subconsciously glanced at the whip outside the screen. It looked like it was no longer needed, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Girl, please."

Ah Jiu followed Lian'er's guidance and walked out of the cabinet, and then walked through the corridor for more than 20 minutes, passing through three other courtyards, and finally led to the front flower hall.

King Qi Ming was sitting in the high hall dressed in black clothes. His face was as sharp as a knife and his eyes were sinister, as cold as an ice sculpture. There was a cunning sword-like look in the corners of his eyes.

He put one hand on the chair and leaned slightly to one side. When he lowered his eyes and looked up at Ah Jiu, a shiver ran down his spine.

There were several unknown strategists sitting on the left and right sides of the flower hall, including Jiman.

Ah Jiu's pupils shrank, was it him?

There was a buzz in my mind, and there was no doubt that Ji Man had used some method again this time.

Ah Jiu stepped forward and took a deep breath to calm down her panic. The more scared she became, the more she had to pretend to be calm.

If King Qi Ming uses her to threaten Tuoba Yan, the matter will be serious, and it may very well be related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops and the safety of the people.

"King Qi Wan'an." Ah Jiu stood up and saluted as he entered.

The difference flashed in King Qi Ming's eyes. This girl looked soft and frail, but she was so calm and calm in the face of danger.

"Ping Shen." King Qi Ming glanced at the scroll in the hands of the strategist who sat down with interest.

The strategist hurriedly handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, he is exactly the person you are looking for in this painting."

Several other strategists also compared the scrolls in their hands and nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, this woman will definitely help our army defeat the enemy and march directly to Huanglong, achieving hegemony in the world."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and congratulated.

Ah Jiu lowered her eyes without saying a word, her mind was spinning rapidly, and she had only one thought: she had to find a way to escape, but now that she was in a wolf's den, she couldn't act rashly.

King Qi Ming was not disturbed by this group of flatterers, and stared straight at Meng Jiuer in the hall.

He really didn't expect that this girl was not messy at all. Wasn't she afraid?

"What's the girl's name?" Seeing that she remained silent, King Qi had to let her speak.

"Meng Jiuer."

Impatience flashed across King Qi's sinister eyes. He raised his hand and picked up the tea bowl next to him and took a sip:

"Are you willing to serve me?"

Ah Jiu's head buzzed: "A civilian girl wants to go home."

As soon as these words came out, King Qi Ming twitched the corner of his mouth, and several strategists sitting down burst into laughter.

Ji Man, however, squeezed the sweat out of his palms. This girl was not afraid or nervous. She asked and answered questions, especially the last sentence. It was obvious that she did not take the prince seriously, so she hurriedly handed over her hand to save her:

"Meng Jiu'er, it's your blessing to be able to serve King Qi, but don't be ignorant of good and evil."

Ah Jiu has his own ideas. If he says he is willing, the anxious King Qi Ming will naturally not believe him, so he might as well tell the truth.

Meng Jiuer heard the sound and looked at Jiman. Suddenly, his palm-sized smile was as calm as water, but at this moment, his lips curled up:

"Your Majesty, now that the army has grown stronger, and there has been a severe drought for four years, there is a constant shortage of food and salary. If I, Meng Jiuer, can do it, I will do my best. However, I have a request."

Require?

Everyone couldn't laugh anymore. This girl looked like an immature girl. She actually dared to come up and talk to the prince about her demands.

"Your Majesty, this girl is too arrogant. Please think again, Your Majesty." How could such people become confidants? The strategists quickly impeached her.

King Qi glanced at Meng Jiuer with great interest, his eyes raking up and down her body like knives: "Say."

Ah Jiu glanced at Ji Man and said, "King Qi immediately put Ji Man to death. I, Meng Jiuer, have decided to ensure that all the soldiers in the city have enough food and pay within three days."
