Chapter 207 Don’t even flatter me

A group of civil servants rarely showed the indomitable momentum of military attachés.

Even though Mr. Liu County Magistrate looked at him, he was determined to move forward. When he reached the gate of the house, before he could swing his stick to go in, he was blocked by Xuanjia Weige.

"Bold! Who is trespassing? Is there anyone staying here?" Xuan Jiawei shouted sharply and held down Magistrate Liu.

He looked past Magistrate Liu and saw Qiu Sima and others behind him.

Xuan Jiawei had a look of astonishment on his face, and his eyebrows suddenly furrowed even more tightly: "What are you doing?"

Qiu Sima was also stunned.

Why does it look like... nothing happened?

Could it be... could it be that he guessed wrong?

"I'm waiting...I'm waiting to save the princess." After Qiu Sima said this, he felt much more confident and said louder: "Those Xingyuan Prefecture garrison sent earlier are probably Mon spies.

Have they already met the princess? Oh! I’m afraid something has happened to the princess!”

The faces of the Xuanjia guards guarding the door turned pale: "Only a few have left, and Captain Dou is still discussing matters with the princess inside."

After the words fell, they quickly turned around and led the way.

"Come in with us!"

Qiu Sima and others hurriedly followed.

There was no brutal fight as they imagined along the way.

Only the ministers of the royal palace were alarmed by this movement and walked out curiously.

So the team gradually grew bigger.

The group of people walked in in a mighty and menacing manner, all the way to the outside of the small courtyard where Xue Qingyin lived.

"Shh." The leader turned around and gestured.

He didn't know what was going on inside now. What if the thieves were alerted by them before they broke up with each other, and then kidnapped the princess?

Qiu Sima and others nodded in shock, indicating that they understood.

Everyone had their lips tightly closed, not even daring to take a breath.

At this time, the leader slowly raised his hand, knocked on the door twice, and called out in a low voice: "Princess."

Then he used force and pushed the door open.

The door made a "squeak" sound.

A man came out of it.

Everyone was startled, and the next moment they couldn't help but draw their swords.

"Why are there so many people here?" It was the royal guard who came out. He looked around and wondered.

"Yuan Guards? Do you know that the Xingyuan Military Academy Lieutenant who just entered is probably a Meng spy?" Xuanjia Guard said in a deep voice.

The guard surnamed Yuan was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud: "I just told you that it's all right, why did Brother Ji of your Xuanjia Guard suddenly take someone down? It turns out to be a Mon spy."

"What? Already taken?" Qiu Sima couldn't help but asked.

Yuan Huwei nodded: "Exactly, I will lead you in."

"Okay!" Qiu Sima said quickly.

I can't rest assured without seeing it with my own eyes...Who knows if the royal guards have colluded with spies?

This time the person taking the lead became Yuan Huwei again.

They were led through the outer gate and came to the inner gate, where they immediately saw a strong man pressed firmly to the ground.

Princess Xuan stood beside her calmly, holding a fan in one hand and a teacup in the other.

It’s so relaxing!

"Hey, it's so lively today, why are you all here?" Xue Qingyin also saw them.

She poked her head slightly and saw that there seemed to be countless soldiers behind them.

Are those Xingzhou's own soldiers?

"Is it possible that most of the city is here?" Xue Qingyin asked with a smile.

Qiu Sima breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed: "Yes, after knowing that the princess may be in danger, I just want to call all the people of Xingzhou together, so that the thief will be executed!"

"Qiu Sima is such a smart man, he actually guessed his identity." Xue Qingyin praised loudly.

Qiu Sima's face turned red.

He looked at the person who was pinned to the ground, and it was indeed Dou Jianhong. This Dou Jianhong was really brave, and it was enough to tie him up with a thick rope, but he even had three Xuanjia guards to hold him down at the same time.

Dou Jianhong's eyes flickered, and when he looked back at Qiu Sima, Qiu Sima couldn't help but shudder, and then quickly looked away.

"The princess is still unparalleled in resourcefulness and even better. She has already captured the man first... If she just waits for us to come to rescue, I'm afraid it will be too late." Qiu Sima sighed.

Magistrate Liu couldn't bear it anymore and said anxiously: "Princess, may I ask where Zhuojing is?"

Xue Qingyin looked at him with a smile: "Mrs. Liu is waiting in the inner room. I will invite you out in a moment."

Magistrate Liu quickly bowed to her: "Thank you very much."

Xue Qingyin then looked at Qiu Sima again and said: "Sima, there is no need to be humble. You see, you are already smarter than Captain Dou."

Dou Jianhong's facial muscles shook violently.

I think I was humiliated.

Yuan Huwei thought that they were the only ones guarding the outer gate, and he didn't know what was going on.

Yuan Huwei took a step forward and asked: "How can this person be a Mong spy? How did the princess find out?"

Dou Jianhong's ears twitched, and he obviously couldn't figure out how Princess Xuan could expose him with just one meeting.

He answered fluently, and everything he said about the Xingyuan Army was true. Even his belt was true!

"Since you reported the name of the garrison in Xingyuan Prefecture, I have been on guard. The reason should be clear to Captain Dou, right?" Xue Qingyin looked at Dou Jianhong and said.

Dou Jianhong's eyes flickered, remembering his betrayal from the army.

It's just that this matter was kept secret because it hurt the emperor's face too much. How did she know?

"I'll ask you later, when did His Majesty get the news. You said two days ago."

"What's wrong?"

That's right, what's wrong? Qiu Sima didn't even think it was wrong.

Because based on the day he sent the letter, the news should have been about the same two days ago.

"I compliment Colonel Dou on his superiority as an official. Do you really think that Captain Dou is your superior official?"

"..." Dou Jianhong was humiliated again.

"The herald is in the capital. It's not surprising that he knows when the news will arrive in the capital. But where is your Colonel Dou? You are far away in Xingyuan Mansion. How do you know so much? Could it be that the herald is still telling you for no reason?

Did it happen? When it comes to war, how dare the herald be so talkative? You just have to obey orders and don't dare to ask more..."

"If you are a general, it is not surprising that you know this. But how dare you pretend to be a general? A moderate official like a school captain is the best. He is inconspicuous, but his identity is convincing."

"But you have forgotten that a small captain should not answer everything fluently!"

Dou Jianhong let out a breath and smiled helplessly: "Who said that I have never been a captain in my life? I made meritorious deeds at a young age and became a deputy general within two years of joining the camp. I also served as the commander of the Xiaowei, and once led forty palaces.

Mansion soldiers!"

It seems that he is trying to regain face for himself and prove that he is really a good official.

Xue Qingyin nodded: "That is indeed quite impressive. So I saw that you didn't even know how to flatter me when you saw me. Your identity is definitely not that of a school captain. You are probably used to being the master of others."

The corners of Dou Jianhong's mouth twitched.
