Chapter 87: Taking the Token and Diverting the Trouble
Lin Xiaoyue found some ropes and threw them to Liang Jingyao, "Brother Liang, tie him up first and then remove his jaw to prevent him from doing any tricks!"
"good!"
Liang Jingyao nodded, first removed the black-clad man's chin, and then tied him up.
The man in black wore a pained expression. Although his jaw removal made it difficult for him to speak, he still cursed unwillingly on the ground, "Assholes! How dare you! I have no grudge against you. If you want to live, let me go. Otherwise, when my people come to rescue me, you will die!"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't let Liang Jingyao question her because he had grown up in the capital and she was afraid he might accidentally reveal his accent. So she whispered a few words in Liang Jingyao's ear, then stepped forward and kicked the man in black, demanding, "Your men? Are they the ones fighting outside the city gate?"
The man in black showed a look of surprise on his face and asked in disbelief, "Who are you? Why do you know all this?"
Lin Xiaoyue took a stool and sat down, looking carefully. A sense of familiarity suddenly came over her. She said mysteriously, "Not only do I know your people are outside the city gate, I also know you are from the capital. Don't think I can't recognize you just because you changed your clothes. You are Wu Feiying, the commander of the Imperial Guard!"
The man in black looked at the woman in front of him in shock, then turned his head and stared at Liang Jingyao's face. These two people were completely unfamiliar faces and were not the people they wanted to catch, but why did they know so much?
"Are you the accomplices of the prisoner Liang Jingyao? I tell you, if you don't want to die with him, you'd better tell me where he is hiding. When I go to the palace to report to the emperor, he will definitely give you a lighter sentence! Otherwise, the fate of helping a fugitive is death!"
Lin Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes dangerously. Sure enough, these people were sent by Emperor Liang to capture Big Brother Liang. Emperor Liang was really courting death! He had become the emperor. As long as he persisted in governing diligently and loving the people, no one could take his throne away. Otherwise, he would only become more and more deadly!
For example, not only will he not admit who it is, but he will also shift the blame to someone else!
Lin Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows and slowly took out a jade pendant from her bosom. On it were written the words "An Yi". She had secretly taken it off and hidden it on her body when she went to the palace without telling Jingyi. She didn't expect to use it so soon!
She shook the jade pendant in her hand. "Do you know him? The princess knew she was engaged to Liang Jingyao, so she ordered us to come find Liang Jingyao and protect his safety! You'd better tell us honestly where Liang Jingyao is. If you're nice, I can give you an intact body. Otherwise, I'll just throw him away and feed him to the dogs!"
The man in black sneered, "Bullshit! The Emperor betrothed Princess Anyi to the eldest princess's legitimate son, Zheng Jiacheng. How can there be any such thing as an engagement? You must be Liang Jingyao's men, deliberately making a fake jade pendant to fool me!"
Lin Xiaoyue was very patient. She held the jade pendant in front of the man in black and said, "Open your eyes! This is an imperial jade pendant, not a fake one made by some random street vendor with a seal!"
The man in black stared at it for a long time. It was a piece of fine mutton-fat jade with a layer of gold wrapped around the jade pendant. The words "An Yi" were written on the front, and the back showed a lotus that had not yet bloomed. This was a jade pendant only owned by unmarried princesses. After she got married, the pattern on the back would turn into a blooming lotus with lotus seeds under the lotus, symbolizing wealth, peace, and many children and grandchildren!
This is really Princess An Yi's jade pendant. Could it be that Princess An Yi is Liang Jingyao's insider in the capital? No, he must get this news out!
The man in black deliberately admitted his mistake and said, "Alright, I admitted my mistake. Since you are Princess Anyi's men, please let me go immediately. We are all working for Emperor Liang. There is no need to make things so awkward!"
Lin Xiaoyue put the jade pendant away, drew Liang Jingyao's sword, pointed the sharp tip of the sword at the man in black, and asked, "We can let you go, but only if you hand over the person the princess wants to us. Otherwise, we won't be able to report to the princess when we return!"
The man in black rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Didn't you see my people fighting outside the city? Liang Jingyao is right there! If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the outside of the city and take a look!"
Lin Xiaoyue was not stupid. She leaned close to Liang Jingyao's ear and whispered, "Brother Liang, go watch outside. If his men come over, just cough outside the door."
Although Liang Jingyao didn't know what Lin Xiaoyue was going to do, he nodded and agreed with absolute trust: "Okay, I'll go now, you be careful."
After Liang Jingyao left, Lin Xiaoyue sat back on the stool and said, "I don't believe what you said, but I've asked my companions to look for you outside the city. If they can't find you, then you'll have no choice but to die here. Otherwise, when we return to the capital, we won't be able to report to Princess Anyi, and we'll be the ones to die!"
When the man in black heard that Liang Jingyao had already gone, he said anxiously: "Without me, how could they hand the person over to you?"
Lin Xiaoyue glanced out the window at the peaceful scene and said slowly, "He's already gone a long way. Let's wait until he comes back. Or, do you have any token? I'll have my companion show it to your men."
The man in black crawled backwards nervously, but his hands and feet were tied tightly, so he crawled for a long time but just kept moving in the same place.
"Men and women shouldn't touch each other, don't mess around! Let me go, and I'll give it to you. If you mess around like this, how are you any different from a prostitute?"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't care whether he was kissed or not. She searched the man in black and found a token with the words "Commander of the Imperial Guard" written on it. "Here it is! Wait here for a moment. I'll go catch up with my companions! This way you won't have to make the trip!"
The man in black's face turned pale. What a bullshit! His goal was to meet up with his own people. This way, he could not only escape, but also capture these two bastards and torture them severely to vent his hatred!
"Get back here! This isn't something you can handle! Damn woman!"
The man in black endured the pain of his dislocated jaw and struggled desperately on the ground to stop Lin Xiaoyue from leaving, but Lin Xiaoyue had already disappeared into the house.
Walking outside, Lin Xiaoyue handed the token and Princess Anyi's jade pendant to Liang Jingyao and whispered, "Brother Liang, go find the men in black and give these to them. Tell them to return to the palace to find the emperor immediately and tell them that Princess Anyi killed Commander Wu to save her lover Liang Jingyao. Commander Wu's body has been fed to the dogs. These are Commander Wu's relics!"
Liang Jingyao looked down at the jade pendant in his hand and asked curiously, "Isn't this Jingyi's jade pendant? How did you get it?"
Lin Xiaoyue was not panicking. Liang Jingyao was not around when she sneaked into the palace that time, so she could say whatever she wanted. "Just the last time I went into the palace, when Jingyi fainted in the Wude Hall, I secretly took her jade pendant. Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm going in!"
Liang Jingyao called out to Lin Xiaoyue and asked, "Yue'er, wait a minute. What are you going to do with the man in black inside? Even though he's tied up and can't move, you still have to be careful!"
Lin Xiaoyue blinked and said, "Okay, okay! You'll know when you come back!"
