There is a remote old house more than ten miles outside the capital city.
This was originally a landlord's house. More than ten years ago, the landlord drank too much and insulted the girl from the tenant family. Afterwards, he even beat him up and said that the girl from the tenant family had gone to his house to steal things.
The girl couldn't think about it anymore and threw herself into the river.
The girl's father and brother were so angry that they killed the landlord with a knife at night.
After the landlord's cousin settled the funeral affairs, he announced that he was going to sell the house.
This house was already remote, and there had been a massacre, so people said they would never sell it.
As a result, not long after, the house was actually sold.
But the people around have never seen the buyer or anyone taking care of it.
The house has been deserted ever since.
As time passed, people began to hear that the old house was haunted, and no one dared to come.
But the people didn't know that someone was already living in the old house at this time.
And there is a princess living there.
"Your Highness, this is Xinyang's new tea this year, please try it."
Qin'er held the tray and put the tea set on the small table.
"What did Liao Yin say?"
The ninth princess didn't look at the tea set, she raised her head and asked.
In order to prevent being discovered by Jin Feng, she had been careful on the way back from Sichuan.
Jin Feng's bodyguards, chamber of commerce, and Zhong Ming's group didn't notice her, but as soon as she arrived in the capital, she was intercepted by the Red Armor Army before she could even enter the city.
Only then did the Ninth Princess realize that she might have underestimated the emperor.
Chen Ji seems unreliable at all. He spends all day either writing or messing around with his concubines in the harem.
So much so that even the Ninth Princess thought he was a fatuous king.
It wasn't until she saw the Red Armor Army that the Ninth Princess realized that the emperor was not as fatuous as he seemed on the surface.
No other dignitaries, including Jin Feng's Zhongming Group, noticed her, so the emperor intercepted her.
This shows that the emperor has stronger control than others around the capital.
The Red Armor Army was the emperor's confidant, and the captain who led the team was one of the Emperor's personal guards. The Ninth Princess dared to kill the eunuchs in Sichuan, but she did not dare to attack the Red Armor Army, so she could only follow the Red Armor.
The army came to this old house.
The old house was bought by the Red Armor Army and renovated. From the outside, it still looks dilapidated, with weeds growing taller than people, but the courtyards in the middle have been kept extremely clean.
There is a well and a vegetable garden in the yard, and the food stored is enough for the Ninth Princess and the Red Armor Army to eat for a long time.
The Red Armored Army also moved in and out eerily.
A group of people had been living in the yard for so long, but no one noticed them.
The Ninth Princess has something to do when she returns to the capital, and now she is effectively under house arrest here.
During this period of time, the Ninth Princess and the captain leading the Red Armor Army were constantly causing trouble.
But no matter whether the Ninth Princess reasoned or threatened, Liao Yin, the captain of the Red Armor Military Academy, refused to take any advice.
The Ninth Princess was furious, so she asked Qin'er and Zhu'er to challenge the captain and prepare to beat him up to vent their anger.
Liao Yin has been with the emperor for many years. He has known the Ninth Princess since they were young. He usually looks as naive and stupid as a goose. Who knows he is a super master. Qin'er and Zhuer have never fought together.
He originally went to beat someone up, but was beaten severely by Liao Yin, and he came back with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
The Ninth Princess had no choice but to ask Qin'er to find Liao Yin to say good things to her.
"Your Highness, Lieutenant Colonel Liao told you to give up. Without His Majesty's order, we cannot go out."
Qin'er said helplessly.
"I didn't say I was going out, I just wanted to send a few letters!"
The Ninth Princess covered her forehead and said: "My husband is likely to go to Xichuan after the new year. With your intelligence, you will definitely find that I am not in Sichuan. Then it will be bad."
"Colonel Liao said that sending messages is not possible either." Qin'er shook her head.
"Is it okay for me to write a letter to my father and ask him to hand it over to my father?"
The Ninth Princess said as she took out a letter from the side: "Give him the letter and ask him to give it to Father!"
"I'll give it a try." Qin'er picked up the letter and left.
After Qin'er left, Princess Ninth held her chin and looked out the window boredly.
There was still snow in the yard when she first came here, and now the new weeds outside the yard are half a foot tall.
During this period of time, she was completely out of contact with the outside world. She had no idea what was happening outside, and the outside world didn't know she was here.
"I don't know if Mr. has ever gone to Xichuan..."
While the Ninth Princess was thinking wildly, Qin'er came in again.
"What did Liao Yin say?"
The Ninth Princess retracted her thoughts and asked quickly.
"Colonel Liao is busy and asked me to get the letter back."
Qin'er reluctantly put the letter on the table.
"I want to go see what he is up to?"
The Ninth Princess had been holding back in the courtyard for several months, and she was already angry. Now that she asked the captain to send a message to the emperor and was rejected, she could no longer hold back her anger.
Picking up the envelope, he walked to the front yard with a cold face.
This house is very large, covering a total area of more than ten acres, with several large and small yards in total.
The Ninth Princess lives in the central courtyard, and Qin Ming lives next door with the Ninth Princess's personal guards.
A few yards outside lived the Red Armor Army led by Liao Yin.
The Ninth Princess originally thought that Qin'er said that Liao Yin was busy as an excuse, but when she arrived in the front yard, she found that Liao Yin was losing his temper.
"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up and hit the target?"
When the Ninth Princess saw this, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
From the time she can remember, Liao Yin has always had an unsmiling face.
But at this time, Liao Yin's face was full of nervousness.
The anger in Princess Ninth's heart immediately dissipated, and she stepped forward and asked, "Liao Yin, what happened?"
"I have met His Highness!"
Liao Yin saluted the Ninth Princess: "My subordinates have received orders to transfer half of them back to the capital."
"Something happened in the capital?" Ninth Princess asked subconsciously.
Liao Yin looked around, took the Ninth Princess to a corner, and whispered: "The Eastern Barbarians are invading! Your Highness should also prepare. It is estimated that His Majesty will also notify His Highness of the transfer in the next two days."
Although Dakang was pinned to the ground and beaten by the northern Dangxiang and Khitan for many years, in the eyes of many dignitaries in the court, the Khitan and Dangxiang were still barbarians.
Dangxiang is in the northwest and is called the Western Barbarians; Khitan is in the northeast and is called the Eastern Barbarians.
"What? The Eastern Barbarians are invading!"
Princess Ninth's eyes suddenly widened.
Having helped Chen Ji handle so many memorials, the Ninth Princess knew very well what the words "Eastern barbarians invaded" meant.
The Eastern Barbarians were the first force to invade Dakang, but since Dakang promised to pay the annual tribute every year, the Eastern Barbarians have kept their promise. They usually go to the northeast to fight the autumn wind at most, and they only rarely come to the hinterland of Dakang.
But every time I come to the hinterland of Dakang, there is always a bloody storm!
"Didn't you send rewards to Dongman last year? Why are they here now?"
Princess Ninth asked anxiously.
The annual tribute paid by Dakang to Dangxiang and Khitan every year is called "reward".
It means that Dakang, as a reward from the Celestial Kingdom, is given to the nomadic people in the north.
Although everyone knew what was going on, this was the last fig leaf for the Dakang court. Everyone still said "reward" in public.
