Qiao Yuyan was frightened on the spot, but she still remembered that at the critical moment, she hurriedly stepped aside and fell on the curb. Fortunately, there was a layer of snow on it, and the clothes on her body were still fine.
It's thick and doesn't hurt when dropped.
The column of men and horses also tightened their reins at this time and came to a halt.
Qiao Yuyan had no doubt that they had deliberately not slowed down just now to give her such a powerful blow.
But at this time, she couldn't care about this, because she clearly saw the uniforms of this group of people under their cloaks.
Flying fish suit!
They are Jinyiwei!
Qiao Yuyan's scalp suddenly became numb. Why were they here? And they just met someone on the street.
"Who are you?! Why are you walking outside?"
There was a man sitting on a horse looking at Qiao Yuyan with an arrogant expression and scolding her harshly.
Qiao Yuyan thought this was a strange question. If this street was not for people to walk on, what else could it be used for?
The only explanation is that after the Wen family was sealed off, orders were issued from above that no one was allowed to take to the streets?
What is this statement?
Even if the late emperor passed away, he would not have to issue such an order.
While Qiao Yuyan was stunned, another man could no longer hold himself back and directly pulled out the sword from his waist, "Commander, I think this person is acting sneaky. I'm afraid it's some trick. It's better to take him back and interrogate him carefully."
Commander?
Qiao Yuyan was startled and immediately turned to look at the person in the front.
When the two people made eye contact, they were both stunned.
Zhao Jinghai obviously did not expect that the person wandering outside at this time would be Qiao Yuyan.
But in an instant, he jumped off the horse and asked, "Mrs. Six, why are you here?"
Before Qiao Yuyan could answer, he said, "Didn't I tell you to go to the Zhenfu Division to wait for me?"
Qiao Yuyan immediately reacted to such a sentence, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "It snowed heavily, and I somehow got lost while walking."
She showed some panic and fear at the right time, and Zhao Jinghai frowned and said: "Since we have encountered each other, don't go to the Zhenfu Division, just come with me!"
After saying that, he turned to look at his subordinates and said, "You continue to patrol while I handle some personal matters."
No one dares to ask about the personal affairs of their immediate superiors. Seeing the two of them like this, they knew they had met by chance, so after a few uniform responses, those few people immediately rode away.
Just when Qiao Yuyan was about to speak, Zhao Jinghai stopped her, "Get on the horse first!"
Hearing this, Qiao Yuyan looked at the tall horse beside him and hesitated for a moment.
When Zhao Jinghai saw this, he half-smiled and said, "Mrs. Six, don't you think it's inconvenient for men and women to ride together?"
Qiao Yuyan's thoughts were instantly seen through, and she was inevitably a little embarrassed.
But now that the other party saved her life and it was an emergency, her thoughts were a bit pretentious, so she could only shake her head and said: "No, it's just that we have never ridden such a high horse..."
Without saying a word, Zhao Jinghai stretched out an arm and lifted the person up directly.
Qiao Yuyan had just sat firmly when he sat up from behind.
The smell of the strange man surged up from behind instantly, and Qiao Yuyan felt uncomfortable all over, wishing she could move forward a little further.
She was feeling embarrassed when something was suddenly stuffed behind her back. She turned around in surprise and saw that it was Zhao Jinghai who took off the cloak from his hand and stuffed it between the two people.
Catching a glimpse of Qiao Yuyan's eyes, Zhao Jinghai chuckled and said, "Don't worry, although I, Zhao, am a big boss, I don't know any etiquette. There is no other way now but to ask Mrs. Six to be tolerant."
It has to be said that his behavior immediately made Qiao Yuyan feel good about him, and the embarrassment just now was relieved a lot, so he was able to talk to the other party normally.
"Master Zhao, thank you for saving me just now. However, I still want to ask, is the whole city prohibited from going out now?"
Zhao Jinghai seemed a little surprised that Qiao Yuyan knew nothing about this matter, but he soon realized, "Your Wen family was sealed before the city lockdown order, so it is normal for you not to know about this matter.
I won't hide it from you. During this period, strange things happened frequently throughout the country. The late emperor passed away, and all kinds of rumors and rumors spread. His Highness was too worried about His Majesty's death and was completely unable to deal with the matter. Therefore, the cabinet just
This order was given.
After all, if you are not careful about this kind of thing, it will be a major event that shakes the foundation of the country."
I originally thought that he could explain it in just a few sentences at most, but I didn't expect that he would explain it in such detail.
"Then Mr. Zhao is now..."
"Although those strange things seem to be warnings from God, at this time, no one will believe it if there is no one causing trouble. Now we are strictly investigating everywhere. If you go out on the streets at this time, you are really looking for death."
Hearing these words from him, Qiao Yuyan was even more sure that Zhao Jinghai seemed to have good intentions towards her, or to the Wen family and Qiao family.
She recalled that when she got married, he was even in the Wen family's welcoming procession, and he also appeared during An Geer's baptism.
No matter what his purpose was, at least the only person Qiao Yuyan could catch now was the person in front of him.
Just now, Zhao Jinghai talked about strange things happening in various places. Wen Qiongyu had already mentioned this earlier, but judging from the meaning of Zhao Jinghai's words, it seems that it has become more and more serious now.
Qiao Yuyan no longer cared so much and asked directly: "Master Zhao, to be honest, I sneaked out today."
Her words only received a soft snort from the other party.
In fact, that's right. The Wen family has been sealed off. Could she, the sixth wife of the Wen family, still be able to come out of the gate on her own?
Qiao Yuyan's face turned red, and she became more determined, "I would like to ask a favor, sir?"
When Zhao Jinghai heard this, he tightened the reins, and the horse's hooves suddenly raised high and made a neighing sound.
"Sixth Mrs., I'm helping you this time just for the sake of the two families. If you have anything else to ask for, I'm afraid Zhao will have to pay a price as simple as messing with his subordinates.
Already."
Qiao Yuyan bit her lip, knowing that what the other party said was correct.
In this special time, if you are not careful, you will be labeled as having bad intentions.
No one can easily agree to such a life and death matter.
But Qiao Yuyan was desperate. She didn't know how Wen Tingyuan was doing now, or whether he could succeed, but if what he wanted to do failed...
Qiao Yuyan didn't dare to think about it anymore. She could only plead: "I know I can't bring anything to Mr. Zhao now, but I can only ask..."
"It doesn't seem right either."
Hearing this, Qiao Yuyan turned to look at him in surprise. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jinghai suddenly showed a strange smile, "Actually, Mrs. Six can really do me a favor."
