His mouth was quickly stuffed with a cloth.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?" the subordinate asked.
"Send it to the Imperial City Military Headquarters," Qiao Lian'er said.
Because they were responsible for protecting the capital, the military headquarters within the imperial city were located not far from the palace, where security was tight and no special circumstances were observed.
Moreover, it could be by order of the emperor, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter at will.
Therefore, even after Qiao Lian'er revealed her identity as a county princess, she was still blocked from entering.
"Princess, I'm sorry, General Lin is very busy and cannot be seen whenever he wants."
The guards showed absolutely no respect.
Qiao Lian'er realized that it was unrealistic to expect to meet with the leaders of the inner army all at once.
She didn't know much about the Imperial Army, only that the General-in-Chief's surname was Lin, and that he was said to be a refined and cultured man, but was actually highly skilled in martial arts, intelligent and brave, and had made many military achievements.
She thought for a moment and said, "Something terrible has happened. Someone deliberately sabotaged the Ministry of Rites examination hall. Fortunately, I discovered it and stopped them in time. Otherwise, who would bear the consequences?"
As he spoke, he gestured to the side.
The soldier was carried over, his face covered in blood, his eyes tightly closed, it was unclear whether he was blind.
"What does that have to do with the Imperial Army?" the guard asked, amused.
Even the powerful families treat Qiao Lian'er with respect, but these people clearly don't take her seriously.
The fundamental reason is that Qiao Lian'er only has 6,000 troops, while the imperial city has 300,000. Compared to that, it seems insignificant. There is a tacit understanding and consensus in the army that the strength of the troops depends on their weapons, the number of soldiers, and their overall strength.
In short, it's all about who has the harder fist.
Even if Qiao Lian'er made contributions in the formation, the fact remains that there are few people and the contribution is meager.
Qiao Lian'er remained calm and composed, with a smile on her face: "What if the person who disrupted the Ministry of Rites examination hall was a member of the Imperial City's inner army?"
Just now, we gave this guy a good beating, but we managed to extract a lot of information from him.
His superior was Pang Da, who was originally a junior staff member. Later, he came up with many ideas that satisfied his superiors. His superiors thought he was a promising talent and promoted him to lieutenant. The next step would probably be colonel.
The guards were startled, exchanged a glance, and their expressions were clearly grim.
Is this really true?
"I know my strength is weak. If I were a fake, how would I dare to come here and cause trouble?"
Qiao Lian'er frowned: "To be honest, although this person has been subdued, the person who wants to disrupt the spring examination will definitely make another move. And that person is currently outside the examination hall, so we need to deal with it as soon as possible."
The guards grew anxious, and one of them said, "Lord Kelin really doesn't have time."
“Then let’s meet Lieutenant Pang’s superior,” Qiao Lian’er said.
If all else fails, she has no choice but to settle for second best, because from the information the soldiers revealed, she judged that Ponta's superior valued him highly, perhaps even admiring his actions and wanting to protect him.
That's why she immediately asked to see General Lin upon arrival, but it seems that General Lin is simply too busy.
The guards had the same idea, but their faces showed worry, as if they shared the same concerns as Qiao Lian'er, but for the time being, this was all they could do.
One of them went to report.
