at the same time.
Inside the city.
Hejian Inn.
Since Princess Lanling checked into the post house this afternoon, all the subordinate staff and servants in the post house have been kicked out. Now the post house is filled with the princess's personal guards and random servants.
In the largest flower hall of the post house, Princess Lanling sat upright.
She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, her body was plump but just right, and her neckline was wide open. Under the light of dozens of candles in the hall, her porcelain white skin reflected bursts of fluorescence;
The carefully modified oval face looks like a blooming peony. The peony hair, which can be called "cloud temples", is covered with pearls and jade, which complements her figure perfectly;
Coupled with status bonuses, such as "Her Majesty the Queen's favorite little princess", "the most beautiful woman in my dynasty", etc., she is graceful and noble.
It was unforgettable to look at it, but I didn’t dare to look any further.
Firstly, I was afraid of blaspheming the beauty.
Secondly, she was afraid of the power in the hands of Princess Lanling.
She was a powerful princess, and most of the prime ministers at that time came from her family.
If it makes her unhappy, she may die without knowing why.
In short, although Princess Lanling is a beautiful peony, it has thorns, and the thorns are poisonous!
But even so, there are countless people who dream of becoming her husband, and even if they are poisoned, it is worth it.
However, there are so many men in the world, many of whom are talented, but there has never been one who can enter the eyes of Princess Lanling...
In the flower hall.
Except for Princess Lanling, almost all the accompanying officials were present.
There are those who consulted on military matters, Wang You, literature, Sima, and chief records, as well as the Qiudian Army of the "Prince's Marriage Office", the Dongdian Army of the "Prince's Accountant Office", etc.
Princess Lanling's phoenix eyes were full of power, and she slowly scanned the people in the hall. She kissed her red lips and asked, "Have you sent people to search the inside and outside of the post house?"
Although her voice was pleasant to the ear, it contained a coldness that could see through everything, making people's hearts tremble uncontrollably, and they dared not treat her like a vase.
As soon as he finished speaking, the military consultant went out to report:
"Your Highness the Princess, you can rest assured that all the original subordinates and servants in the Hejian Post House have been replaced. My subordinates also ordered people to check every place in the Post House three times. There are no problems."
Literature also came out to pay homage:
"Although the little cabinet leader of the inner guard sent in advance has lost news and is missing, we can still protect the safety of the princess with our help!"
Literature is an official title. From the sixth rank, one is in charge of the school's classics and serves as a follower of articles.
Princess Lanling nodded slowly and said: "I am naturally at ease with you. It's just that this place is not as good as the capital of the gods. Everything seems calm, but in fact there are dangers everywhere and we have to be on guard."
"I will obey the teachings of Her Royal Highness the Princess." All the subordinates bowed.
"..."
At this time, a guard wearing bright armor entered the flower hall and reported: "The Zhou Ji Office is waiting outside the flower hall, and there are urgent matters to report."
"Zhou Ji's Office?" Princess Lanling was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "Didn't I send him to Leshou County? Why did Xingye rush back?"
"Your Highness the Princess, could it be that Tang Ju, the magistrate of Leshou County, committed a serious crime and Zhou Ji's Office couldn't make a decision, so he came to see Your Highness overnight?" Sima guessed.
After hearing this, Princess Lanling's eyes sharpened suddenly, she straightened her sitting posture, and her voice turned cold and ordered: "Come in."
Soon, a dusty middle-aged man rushed into the flower hall. He looked panicked and carried a small baggage in his hand.
This person is from the Zhou Ji Office.
A quarter of an hour ago, under the city wall, he was almost shot to death by the soldiers at the top of the city.
Later, he showed the waist card of Princess Lanling's Mansion and threatened, "You have delayed Her Royal Highness's important event, how many heads can you chop off?" and finally entered the city in a hanging basket.
After entering the city, he borrowed a fast horse from the soldiers guarding the city and went straight to the Hejian Post House.
After arriving, seeing that the post house was safe and sound, Zhou Ji's office breathed a long sigh of relief...
Posthouse.
Flower Hall.
After Zhou Ji's office rushed in, he neither greeted nor bowed, but looked at Princess Lanling and said eagerly:
"Your Highness Princess, please move away from the post house temporarily, because there may be a divine thunder buried underground in the post house!"
The flower hall was quiet for a while.
Divine thunder?
Is there a divine thunder buried under the inn?
You heard that right!
Princess Lanling's eyebrows moved, then she remained calm.
The military consultant jumped out first, pointed at Zhou Ji's nose and cursed: "Zhou Ji's office, are you crazy? How could there be a divine thunder buried under the post house?"
Consultation and participation in military affairs is also an official name. It is on the fifth rank and is in charge of the left and right of the staff and consultation on common affairs.
He was responsible for the princess's stay and residence along the way.
Zhou Jishi said that there was a divine thunder buried underground in the post house, which he absolutely could not accept.
How is this possible?
Not long ago, he repeatedly asserted that the inn was very safe, so please don’t worry, Your Highness...
Therefore, Zhou Ji's move undoubtedly questioned his ability!
It's a malicious slander against him!
Even... push him into the abyss of death.
At this moment, he simply hated Zhou Ji's office.
"Divine thunder? That is something that only exists in Nanchen. This place is hundreds of miles away from Nanchen. How can there be a divine thunder!"
Li Wenxing immediately took over the conversation and pointed at Zhou Ji's office.
Because Literary is the deputy who consults and joins the military, the two of them are responsible for the princess's stay and residence.
Seeing this, the military consultant silently returned to his original position.
If a younger brother comes forward to take the lead, the boss will naturally have to maintain his grace.
Literature took a step forward and argued loudly:
"Before Her Royal Highness moved into the post house, we had kicked out all the subordinate staff and servants, and searched the entire post house three times, and found no problems."
"Your Royal Highness, the nonsense words, monstrous words, and monstrous words in Zhou Ji's office can be said to be a heinous crime and should be severely punished!"
Literature bowed to Princess Lanling.
Before the princess spoke, Wang You, Sima, the chief secretary and others on the other side retorted:
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Zhou Ji's office has always been calm and never talks nonsense. Since he said that there is a divine thunder buried under the post house, there must be a reason for it."
"Humph!" Literary snorted coldly.
Wang You looked at the dusty Zhou Ji's office and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
"have!"
Zhou Ji's office opened the bag and took out a pair of...shoes?
Everyone frowned.
Princess Lanling, who was sitting upright, raised her eyebrows.
At that moment, Zhou Ji's office quickly explained the general cause and effect, and finally pointed out the possible conclusion: "The Liao people colluded with Nanchen to bury the divine thunder underground in the Hejian Posthouse, with the intention of..."
"..."
After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Consultation and Literature swallowed their saliva and stepped aside silently.
Zhou Jishou held up the shoe and said, "These shoes are covered with divine thunder powder. You only need to take a torch and try it to find out."
"Bring the torch." Princess Lanling personally ordered.
Soon, a guard with bright armor walked into the flower hall holding a torch.
Zhou Jishi put the shoes on the ground, took the torch, and put the burning torch close to the shoe in full view of everyone.
Hey!
Hey!
In an instant, a gorgeous flame burst out of thin air and burned along the upper of the shoe, accompanied by thick white smoke and a pungent, choking smell.
Wang You, Sima, the chief secretary, etc. all changed their expressions and exclaimed in surprise: "God's thunder!"
Princess Lanling's expression suddenly changed, she stood up suddenly and stared at the gorgeous flame.
The Qiu Dian Army and Dong Dian Army who were guarding the left and right immediately protected the princess behind them, with solemn expressions, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The two people who consulted on military affairs and literature were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and looked at each other with pale faces.
