Qingluo put Beibei down and hurried to open the door.
The leader of the forbidden army was standing at the door, with several forbidden troops behind him. The shopkeeper who was leading the way was trembling with fear, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
The leader of the Forbidden Army walked into the house, looked around, and looked directly at Xiao Lingyue: "Are you the Lord of Anping County?"
"Yes, sir, what can I do?" Xiao Lingyue asked.
"According to your Majesty's order, the county lord is urgently summoned to the palace. Please come!"
The leader of the Forbidden Army spoke coldly and raised his hand as an invitation, with an attitude that could not be refused.
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "Can I ask why His Majesty summoned me urgently?" She glanced at the window with an unclear meaning, "After all, such a large battle looks quite scary."
Those who didn't know thought she had done some evil deed of murder and arson.
Even the imperial army came out to arrest her.
The leader of the Forbidden Army said coldly: "I'm sorry, but we can't! Please ask the county master to follow us immediately!"
"Miss..." Qingluo was so frightened.
Beibei pursed his lips and reached out to grab Xiao Lingyue's sleeves.
Xiao Lingyue's thoughts were racing in her heart.
From the tough attitude of the leader of the Forbidden Army, she felt that something was not good. Something big must have happened in the palace, otherwise Emperor Zhaoming would not have used such a strong method to "summon" her into the palace.
It was said to be an emergency summons, but in reality it was a seizure.
The kind that doesn't allow resistance.
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at the leader of the Forbidden Army and the Forbidden Army behind him calmly, and found that their right hands had been pressed firmly on the handle of the knife, and their muscles were unconsciously tense.
This is the posture of being ready to take action at any time.
I'm afraid the same goes for the imperial troops surrounding the inn outside.
In other words——
Emperor Zhaoming sent the imperial army to "summon" her into the palace, and also ordered the imperial army to take action directly if she resisted!
If the soft one doesn't work, try the hard one.
......Why?
Xiao Lingyue had countless doubts in her heart.
She had been staying in the inn to recuperate for the past two days, barely going out and doing nothing.
How could Emperor Zhaoming suddenly issue such a heavy order?
"Master of Anping County!" Seeing her delay, the leader of the imperial army couldn't help but increase his tone, "Please follow us into the palace immediately!"
“…” That’s fine.
There is no point in standing here and dreaming. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, you will know when you go there.
It is impossible for Xiao Lingyue to fight against the Forbidden Army
It's not a question of whether she can beat him or not, but once she takes action, she will immediately become the enemy of the entire Northern Qin Dynasty, and the situation will deteriorate sharply.
Even if Emperor Zhaoming had no ill intentions towards her, he could not let go of anyone who dared to challenge his imperial power. When the time came, Xiao Lingyue would have no choice but to escape with Beibei overnight.
Don't even know why.
"Since it is your Majesty's urgent summons, I will naturally not disobey. I will follow you into the palace. What will they do?" Xiao Lingyue pointed at Qingluo, Meng Wenhao and others asked gently, "Can you give me some?"
Time, let me place them?"
The leader of the Forbidden Army said directly: "No need to place them, just take them away together!"
Xiao Lingyue: "...You mean, they will go with me to see His Majesty?"
Leader of the Forbidden Army: "Yes!"
After only saying a few words, the leader of the Forbidden Army became obviously impatient. He looked at Xiao Lingyue warningly: "Anping County Master, don't waste any more time, please!"
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes and said nothing more. She ordered Qingluo to hold Beibei in her arms, and then shrugged at Meng Wenhao: "Sorry, I can only trouble you to go to the palace with me."
Meng Wenhao: "..." He was extremely confused.
Why can we go to the Northern Qin Palace to talk to Miss Shen...
Isn’t it too baffling?
