When the commander of the Cangbei garrison saw that An Xin's troops were about to turn back without hesitation, he quickly ordered his soldiers to open the city gates and chase after them.
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency, please stay. I was wrong."
If it was really because of him that the Daqian envoys invited by the new emperor who was about to ascend the throne had to return the same way, he would not have enough heads to chop off even if he had ten.
An Xin looked indifferently at the general guarding the gate of Cangbei who stopped his carriage, and asked casually, "What's wrong?"
The general guarding the city gate was stunned.
He didn't expect that An Xin, such a high-ranking envoy, was actually so petty and asked such unreasonable questions. He was speechless for a moment.
"I can't tell. I'd better go back then."
Jiang Xuan saw a sly look flash across An Xin's eyes, and the corners of his light-colored, moist lips slightly raised in a smile.
When the general guarding the city gate saw that General Chen had heard what An Xin said, he waved the envoy's staff in his hand and continued to command the troops to turn around.
He secretly hated himself for looking for trouble. If he had seen them show the envoy's seal, he would have ordered people to open the city gate and let them pass smoothly. All these trivial matters would not have happened and he would have brought trouble upon himself.
"Mr. Envoy, I shouldn't have provoked you and stopped you after I saw you take out the envoys to identify yourself. I really know I was wrong."
An Xin sighed inwardly, knowing that his hope of taking the opportunity to go back and lie down was dashed.
He uttered a soft "hmm".
He said weakly, "General Chen, since he knows he is wrong, let's continue to move forward."
The general guarding the city gate said that he really knew he was wrong, and personally took An Xin and others to get the pass.
Looking at the envoys going away, he raised his sleeve to wipe the non-existent sweat on his head, muttering: "Finally, we sent these ancestors away.
If they were allowed to go back, their superiors would know it was because of him and they would skin him alive.”
After entering the Beiming Kingdom, every time An Xin was about to pass through the city gate, whenever she encountered unfriendly city guards who tried to stop them, she would decisively turn around and walk back.
“!?” Whoever wants to go can go. Anyway, she didn’t really want to attend that coronation ceremony.
He blocked her way. Even if he didn't stop her, she wouldn't want to go. It was like who wants to go.
…
An Xin was intercepted that day in a place called Lindu City.
Looking at the person who turned away and the city gate in front of him that was not allowing people to pass through, An Xin raised his lips and smiled faintly, "Interesting, I haven't answered yet, and you're leaving already."
After passing this city, we will soon reach the capital of Beiming. It seems a bit inappropriate to retreat at this time.
So An Xin thought the scenery outside the city was pretty good, so he decided to let the team set up camp here for a while and prepare to take a tour of the surrounding scenery.
If they really are not allowed to pass through this Lindu City, it will be worth the trip when they return.
An Xin stroked his chin, looking at the team of more than 500 people in front of him, thinking that so many people also needed food and drink.
An Xin looked at General Chen, who was always smiling, and then at General Gao, who was as fierce as Zhang Fei, and then made a decision.
General Chen's gentle temperament was more suitable for dealing with people, so he ordered: "General, go to the surrounding villages and ask the people to buy three days of food for our team."
General Chen looked up at the soldiers on the city wall who were refusing to let them pass and suggested, "Should we buy more? They seem to be trying to trap us here."
"No need." An Xin shook her head, raised her lips, a glimmer of wisdom flashed in her eyes, and said something that made everyone puzzled: "Three days is enough~"
General Chen, following An Xin's order, took Xiao Chi Lan, who was accompanying him, and some guards to buy food for the next few days from the surrounding villagers.
General Gao stayed to set up the tents they brought with them and began to build camp, setting up the place where they would live for the next few days.
An Xin was going to go play in the mountains with twenty or thirty people, and he also caught some game to serve as a snack for everyone.
Leng Xiangbai and Jiang Zhou hung their swords around their waists and stood on both sides of An Xin in a protective posture. Jiang Xuan looked at the two men who were so cautious and showed them an admiring look.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the mayor of Lindu City probably had a personal grudge against the envoy An Xin.
Even though they had been provoked and blocked by other soldiers guarding the city gates of Beiming during their journey, they would not go too far. As long as they made their attitude clear, most of them would be allowed to pass smoothly in the end.
The post stations along the way that received notifications from the Beiming Kingdom's Ministry of Rites would also respectfully and friendly receive the envoys coming to Beiming.
Only the Lindu City was so resolute in refusing them to pass through this city and go to the Beiming Kyoto.
On the day they arrived, the city lord, who had received the notice, ran to the city gate in person and looked at An Xin who was sitting in the carriage with an unfriendly look.
Ask her if she knows a former Cangbei defender named Liao Angxiong.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
After asking, without waiting for An Xin's answer, he waved his sleeves and left with a gloomy and vicious face, and ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate to close the gate and not let them pass.
An Xin visited several mountains and temples around Lindu City. Not to mention the scenery here, it is really different from the style of Daqian in many ways.
When Liao Angkuo, the mayor of Lindu City, heard from his subordinates that An Xin was having a great time playing with his people outside the city, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
The sinister eyes flashed with viciousness.
Thinking that although An Xin was only among thousands of troops at the time and abducted his cousin who was then the garrison commander of Cangbei, he did not take his life. Later, after the two countries negotiated, Beiming released him after compensation.
The reason why Liao Angkuo, the lord of Lindu City, hated the envoy An Xin so much was not only because she had sent people to attack Cangbei City while she was in charge of Jibei, causing her cousin to be beheaded by the Emperor of Beiming.
Also, because of her, the Liao family lost the coal mine between Jibei and Cangbei City that made a lot of money every day, which caused immeasurable losses to the Liao family who were used to luxury.
Given An Xin's status in Daqian, even the city lord Liao Angkuo could not do anything to her, his enemy.
However, now that An Xin has come to the area under his jurisdiction, given Liao Ang's vengeful character, how could he easily let go of An Xin, his enemy?
He was so furious at the moment that he didn't even think about whether something unexpected happened to the envoys from his country in Beiming, which might lead to a war between the two countries.
…
As soon as An Xin and his companions entered Beiming territory, they were targeted by spies sent by Bei Sihan.
When Si Han learned that An Xin's group was stopped outside a city gate not far from the capital of Beiming by Liao Angxiong, the cousin of the Cangbei city defender general Liao Angxiong, whom she had once abducted, and that Liao Angkuo, the cousin of the Cangbei city defender general Liao Angxiong, was stopped by him and that he found various excuses to refuse to let them go.
A hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
An Xin, an important minister of the Daqian Dynasty, was able to come to Beiming because he specially invited him.
As for what his intention was in inviting An Xin, that was his own business.
But no matter what, An Xin was invited by him, and it was not the turn of others to make things difficult for this woman.
