Chapter 24 Impersonation
Jin Sui saw that this group of soldiers had determined that she was the King of Li, without any doubt, and that they urgently needed her, the "King of Li", to save people.
She also made a decision instantly:
Pretending to be the King of Glory!
In this way, the men in black who were chasing Gu Changxiao would naturally not track him in the mountains and forests when they heard that King Li was going to find Jiang Nansheng, and Grandpa Ling and the others would be completely safe.
Secondly, she can investigate Ling's father's case openly.
I believe Gu Changxiao would not blame her after hearing this. She risked being killed to be his substitute! If Gu Changxiao had any brains, he would be grateful to her.
Of course, unless Gu Changxiao is also the substitute of the King of Li, if the real King of Li blames her for impersonating him, then we can just run away! Since crossing over, I haven't learned any other skills, but I have mastered the skill of escaping.
Thinking of this, Jin Sui became bolder, holding his head high and chest out, imitating Gu Changxiao's posture, and said to the group of soldiers:
"Tell me in detail what happened? Jiang Nansheng is so bold that he dares to detain my people!"
After saying this, Jin Sui felt his heart pounding like a drum. He did not look away, but was actually using his peripheral vision to observe the reactions of these people.
She is the King of Brutality, who knows nothing and doesn't even know Jiang Nansheng. Don't they still have any doubts?
Yes, they had no doubts.
Because Jiang Nansheng was only a fifth-rank local garrison commander, a fifth-rank official in Chang'an was not even qualified to attend the royal banquet, but in the local area, he was a hegemon.
Jin Sui soon found out what had happened. To put it simply, Jiang Nansheng didn't even have the qualifications to send gifts to the Eastern Palace before.
He turned to curry favor with Prince Yu, the second prince born to the current queen, and was eager to show his loyalty to Prince Yu.
The 300 soldiers of the Black Feather Camp had received the order from King Li and were here to pick him up at the border in Yan.
When the soldiers of the Black Feather Camp passed by this place, they were detained by Jiang Nansheng, who wanted to behead them in public on the grounds that they had left the camp without permission.
The soldiers held the letter from King Li, but Jiang Nansheng refused to acknowledge it and tore it up in public.
These dozen people escaped with all their might. Their mission now is not only to receive the King of Li, but also to rescue their companions.
Jin Sui, considering that Gu Changxiao was being hunted and nearly died several times, quickly deduced the whole truth.
Prince Yu and the Queen must have sent people from Chang'an to hunt him down, and then asked Jiang Nansheng to stop the reinforcements here, leaving Gu Changxiao completely isolated and helpless.
She pondered for a moment, motioned the stern young leader to come forward, and whispered to him: "What's your name?"
He saluted and said, "I am Han Xing, the seventh-rank lieutenant of the Black Feather Camp."
Jin Sui motioned him to avoid the others, and the two quietly walked aside. She said solemnly, "I believe Captain Han has seen that when I left Chang'an, someone drugged me and crippled my martial arts."
"My followers and guards all died at the hands of the enemy while trying to protect me."
"The next journey is still very dangerous, you must be mentally prepared."
To Han Xing, this was because Prince Li was worried that they would rebel. Now Prince Li was alone, and his opponents were the extremely powerful Queen and Prince Yu.
Even a wretch like Jiang Nansheng dared to humiliate King Li like this, so King Li naturally felt disappointed with the local officials.
Han Xing knelt on one knee and said, "I, General Han Xing, swear to be loyal to the King of Li until death!"
Jin Sui hurriedly helped him up: "Speak properly and don't kneel down at every turn. I mean, I need a loyal and skilled guard to protect me."
Seeing Han Xing's eyes shining, she hurriedly said, "You are not suitable. You need to take the lead in rescuing the Black Feather Camp."
Han Xing glanced at the dozen people, and soon his eyes fell on a tall man, and waved:
"Black Tiger, come here."
The tall man had a leopard head, round eyes and a red and dark face. Judging from his appearance, people would believe he was thirty, but his actions showed the demeanor of a young man.
Even Jinsui, who was always good at judging people, couldn't tell his age. He quickly walked forward, touched the back of his head in a naive manner, seemed to have realized what was happening, and then clumsily saluted with his fists.
A huge question mark crossed Jin Sui's mind. How could this be like Forrest Gump on the battlefield? Captain Han Xing, are you sure he can be my bodyguard?
Han Xing noticed the King's doubts and said hurriedly,
"Hei Hu is loyal and taciturn. He obeys orders and is very skilled. His archery is so sharp that he can shoot through a target at a distance."
Well, that means he is skilled in martial arts and obedient, but a little bit stupid.
It’s no wonder that Jin Sui needs a personal bodyguard like this. If she replaces him with a smart one, she’s afraid that he’ll discover her true identity!
Jin Sui smiled at Hei Hu and said, "Okay, from now on you will be my personal bodyguard. How old are you?"
Hei Hu chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I will be eighteen next month."
Seeing Jin Sui's surprise, he added, "I'm not married yet."
Jinsui: ...
Who asked if you were married? Do you think I, as your boss, am responsible for finding a wife? It is indeed difficult for you to find a wife when you are 18 years old and look like this.
After finding out all the information that could be obtained, Jin Sui discovered the most important problem, which was that she still didn't know the real name of the King of Li! Gu Changxiao was obviously a pseudonym. The surname of the deposed prince's biological mother was Gu, and of course, the surname of the current stepmother was also Gu, so she temporarily took such a pseudonym! But she knew that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had the surname Jun. When she arrived in Yan, she would find the private seal of the King of Li and she would always know his real name.
I can’t ask Han Xing now: “Do you know my name?”
No matter how dumb Han Xing was, he would immediately become suspicious.
"Let's go find Jiang Nansheng!"
Heihu hurried to get the horse, but Jinsui didn't dare to ride alone, so he had to share the horse with Hanxing on the grounds that his foot injury had not healed.
She secretly made up her mind that if she could successfully reach the border area of Yan, she would definitely learn horse riding and archery.
After leaving the valley, we could faintly see smoke from cooking in the distance, and it seemed that we were getting closer to the village or town.
Han Xing asked, "My Lord, do you want to avoid the people?"
Jin Sui's eyes turned slightly, and he said loudly:
"No need! Not only do we not need to avoid it, we also need to make a big announcement to let the people know that the King of Li was being chased by villains on his way to Yandi, and his personal soldiers were detained by Jiang Nansheng."
King Li was exiled alone, so the Black Feather Camp in Yan could naturally be considered his personal soldiers.
She did this in the hope that the men in black who were searching in the woods would hear it, so that they would continue chasing and killing them, and Grandpa Ling and the others would be safe.
She said to Han Xing, "Send someone to the village to buy noodle gongs and beat them as they walk. I will go meet Jiang Nansheng in person!"
Soon Hei Hu came back with the noodle gong. His strength was so great that one strike would make people's ears hurt.
But this fool asked seriously, "My Lord, how often do you knock?"
Jin Sui said casually, "Ten breaths."
Then I heard him silently counting his breaths: "One breath, two breaths..."
Han Xing hurriedly shouted: "Count in your mind."
Black Tiger said "Oh", and sure enough, he struck hard every ten breaths, shouting at the top of his voice:
"When the King of Li passes by, everyone should give way."
It is true that there was no one on the road, but when people heard the gong sound, they still closed the doors and windows and hid. This was the case for the people in those days.
Bandits passed by like a comb, while soldiers passed by like a rake. The people were extremely afraid of soldiers.
Jin Sui looked back at the Qiaohan Mountains, praying that Grandpa Ling and the others could escape safely and hoping that the bandits outside the mountains had many informants.
Upon hearing Heihu's shout, the black-clad officers immediately gave up searching the mountain.
