Chapter 207 Don’t even flatter me

It is rare for a group of civil servants to show the momentum of military officers to move forward.

Although the old magistrate Liu was still moving forward, he arrived at the gate of the house and was blocked by the Xuanjia Guard before he could swing his baton in.

"Bold! Who is trespassing? I wonder who is here?" Xuanjiawei shouted and held Liu County Magistrate.

His eyes passed by County Magistrate Liu and saw Sima Qiu and others behind him.

Xuanjiawei showed a look of surprise on his face, and his eyebrows frowned even more: "What are you doing?"

Sima Qiu was also stunned.

Why does it look like nothing happened?

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

"Let's wait... I'll come to save the princess." After saying this, Sima Qiu became much more confident and said louder: "The few troops from Xingyuan Mansion sent to him were probably spies from the Meng tribe.

Have they already seen the princess? Oh! Something happened to the princess!"

The few Xuanjia Guards guarding the door turned pale: "A few have just left, and there is also a Captain Dou who is discussing affairs with the princess inside."

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

"Follow us in!"

Then, Sima Qiu and others followed again in a hurry.

There was no cruel battle they imagined along the way.

Only those ministers from the royal palace were also alarmed by the movement and quickly walked out curiously.

So the team gradually grew bigger.

The group of people walked in with great might and rushed all the way to the outside of the small courtyard where Xue Qingyin lived.

"Shh." The leader turned around and made a gesture.

He didn't know what was going on inside now. What if the thief was still alarmed by them before he broke up, so he kidnapped the princess with his backhand?

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

They all closed their lips tightly, and they didn't even dare to breathe for a moment.

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

Then he used force to push the door open.

The door made a "creak" sound.

A man walked out of it.

Everyone was shocked and couldn't hold back and wanted to draw their sword the next moment.

"Why are so many people coming?" The guards of the royal palace walked out. He looked around and wondered.

"Guard Yuan? Do you know that the Xingyuan Army Captain was probably a spy from the Meng clan just now?" Xuanjiawei said in a deep voice.

The guard named Yuan was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud: "I'll say it's all right. What did you do if Brother Ji from Xuanjia Guard suddenly took down the man? It turned out to be a spy from the Meng clan."

"What? Have you taken it down?" Sima Qiu couldn't help but ask.

Guard Yuan nodded: "That's right, I'll take you in."

"Okay!" Sima Qiu said quickly.

If you don’t see it with your own eyes, you can’t feel at ease... Who knows whether the guards of the royal palace colluded with spies?

Now the person who led the lead became Yuan Guard.

Under the leadership, they walked through the outer door and came to the inner door. They saw a young man firmly pressed on the ground at a glance.

Princess Xuan stood by leisurely, holding a fan in one hand and a teacup in the other.

It's so leisurely!

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

She looked slightly and saw that there seemed to be countless soldiers following them.

Are they a soldier from Xingzhou?

"Why are most of the city here?" Xue Qingyin asked with a smile.

Sima Qiu sighed and bowed, "Yes, after knowing that the princess was in danger, she just wanted to call the people of Xingzhou together, and she wanted to kill the thief!"

"Sima Qiu is really a smart person. He actually guessed his identity." Xue Qingyin praised.

Sima Qiu's face turned red.

He looked at the person pressed to the ground and it was indeed Dou Jianhong. Dou Jianhong was really brave. It would be fine if he tied it with a thick rope, but he actually had to press it firmly at the same time.

Dou Jianhong's eyes shone. When he looked at Sima Qiu back, Sima Qiu couldn't help but have a cold war, and then quickly looked away.

"The princess is still unparalleled in wisdom and is even better. She has already captured the person first... If we just wait for us to rescue, it would be too late." Sima Qiu sighed.

County Magistrate Liu couldn't help it and said anxiously: "Princess, how dare you ask where is the Chou?"

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

County Magistrate Liu hurriedly bowed to her: "Thank you, thank you."

Xue Qingyin then looked at Sima Qiu and said, "Sima doesn't have to be humble. Look, you are already smarter than Captain Dou."

Dou Jianhong's facial muscles trembled violently.

I think I was humiliated.

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

Guard Yuan stepped forward and asked, "How could this person be a spy from the Meng clan? How did the princess see it?"

Dou Jianhong's ears moved, and he obviously couldn't figure out how Princess Xuan exposed him in just one encounter.

He answered it in a serene way, and every word about Xingyuan Army was true. Even the waist card was true!

"Since you reported the name of the garrison of Xingyuan Prefecture, I became alert. The reason should be clear, right?" Xue Qingyin looked at Dou Jianhong and said.

Dou Jianhong's eyes flashed, remembering the rebellion from the army back then.

It’s just that this matter is secret because it hurts the emperor’s face too much. How did she know?

"After I ask you when your Majesty got the news. You said two days ago."

"What's wrong?"

Yes, what's wrong? Sima Qiu didn't think this sentence was wrong.

Because according to the day he sent the letter, it should be almost the same as the news he received two days ago.

"I compliment the commander Dou's greatness. Do you really think that he is a commander?"

"..." Dou Jianhong was humiliated again.

"It's not surprising that the messenger was in the capital. The news came to the capital. But where is your lieutenant Dou? You are far away in Xingyuan Mansion. How could you know so much? Is it still the messenger who told you for no reason?

Did you get up? When it comes to wartime, how dare the messenger talk so much? You just need to obey orders and never dare to inquire about more..."

"If you are a general, it is not surprising that you can know these things. But how dare you dress up as a general? It is better to be an official like a lieutenant. It is inconspicuous, but the identity is convincing."

"But you forgot that a little captain shouldn't be answering everything!"

Dou Jianhong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly: "Who told me that I have never been a lieutenant in my life? I made contributions at a young age and became a deputy general within two years of joining the camp. I also served as the commander of the guards and once led a total of forty palaces.

Mansion soldiers!"

It seems to be regaining face for myself, and it is hard to prove that my official position is really not small.

Xue Qingyin nodded: "That's really awesome. So when I saw me, I didn't even know how to flatter you. I would never be a lieutenant. I'm probably used to being a good man."

Dou Jianhong's mouth twitched.
