Chapter 214 No... I didn't...
"I am Pei Xueqiao, the Imperial Ancestral Temple Steward of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and this is Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess."
Cui Jiu had not expected the princess to come in person, so he clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Highness."
Qin Zhaoyue took a step to the side, "Marshal Cui, you must have come all this way."
"It is my humble duty, and I dare not complain."
Oh wow, that hard jaw and determined expression.
There was also a rough, deep voice, as if Qin Zhaoyue had swallowed a subwoofer. At that moment, his head was filled with...
I don’t know if I can get him to call me “dead girl”. It doesn’t seem right to do so the first time we meet.
If you scare people again, sizzle...
The captain of the imperial guards stepped forward and the two sides exchanged military orders.
On one side is the escort mission document of the Northwest Xuanwu Reserve Corps, and on the other side is the document of the Xuan Ge Division responsible for reception and guarding.
After each of them looked through it, they exchanged it back, just to confirm their identity and responsibilities.
The escort team also needs this document to report to the Xuan Gesi Yamen.
It is not yet known whether he will stay in Fengjing temporarily or return directly to the northwest.
"Everyone, please wait a moment."
Clasping his fists, Cui Jiu ordered his men to quickly make way, revealing the guarded carriage.
Looking closely, you can see that the horses pulling the cart are extraordinary.
The four horses were tied side by side, with their withers half a hand higher than those of the horses from the Central Plains.
In the backlight, you can see the steel-like tendons under the blue-gray fur, and the most amazing thing is the pair of amber eyes.
It was like glass reflecting the snowy field, and the eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost.
The bridle, made of fine iron, was shaped like a wolf's snout, but the tassel on the forehead was not the red tassel popular in the Central Plains, but a pale blue snow cloud pattern dyed from the fur of a sand fox.
Even if you don't know much about horses, you can tell at a glance that this is no ordinary horse.
Although the nobles of the Northwestern Border Court are not as powerful as before, it seems that they still retain strong stallions and have not lost their horse breeding skills.
At this moment, a figure lifted the car curtain and jumped out of the car without any help.
A brocade robe with a red fox fur collar, linked beads and deer patterns, cuffs trimmed with snow leopard fur, and an octagonal silver armlet engraved with a wolf head pattern.
A five-colored silk belt with a red chalcedony belt buckle, hanging silver bells and a gold-inlaid dagger sheath.
He strode towards me against the light, looking dazzling.
But just as he was halfway there, he was stopped by Cui Jiu, "Helian, please hand over your weapons."
"Hey..." Helian Chaolu immediately drooped her face, like an eggplant hit by frost.
"You called me Little Lulu on the way, but when you arrived in Fengjing you called me Helian. I am so sad."
As he spoke, he lowered his head, shrugged his shoulders, and covered his face with his hands, crying.
Cui Jiu:......
Keenly sensing the fiery gaze behind him, he subconsciously looked back.
Qin Zhaoyue was seen hugging his arms, leaning his upper body back, and staring at the opposite side with his eyes downcast.
There are two words clearly visible in his eyes: pleasure.
What a waste of this majestic body and deep bubbling voice, tsk tsk tsk...
Cui Jiu was hurt by this look, "No... I didn't..."
Explanations became pale and powerless at this moment, and his chest heaved violently with anger.
He turned around and glared at the other person fiercely.
"There's no point in making up lies, just hand them all over!"
The next moment, Helian Chaolu raised her head and pursed her lips in disdain.
Tsk, I didn’t get away with it.
Only then did everyone realize that the little girl who had been chattering for a while had a clean face.
There were no tears in her bright eyes and her makeup was not smudged at all.
Helian Chaolu looked reluctant, but still took off the dagger from his waist and slapped it on the other person's open palm.
“That’s enough!”
Cui Jiu was not moved at all, "No, continue."
Regardless of whether they were guarding and seeing them off, or waiting to take over, they all stared at the two men silently.
Helian Chaolu sighed and reached out to take off the golden phoenix hairpin.
With a slight click, the Dongzhu in her mouth suddenly cracked, revealing the fine silver needles inside.
He pulled them out one by one, handed them to the other party, and closed the Dongzhu again.
As a result, Cui Jiu was not moved at all and continued to spread his palms.
"Hey, don't go too far! This hairpin can't be considered a weapon!"
Cui Jiu lowered his eyes and said coldly, "Continue."
Next, everyone witnessed a magical scene.
The phoenix tail hairpin, when the seven feathers are removed, they all become willow leaf darts.
"continue."
The hairpin wrapped with crimson silk thread is actually a blowgun.
"continue."
There is a hidden mechanism in the moon-shaped pendant on the ear, and when you turn it on, you can see a tiny blade.
"continue."
Star-shaped thorns are sewn under the leather of the walking belt.
"continue."
When you press the mutton-fat jade belt buckle, a three-foot soft sword pops out.
"continue."
When the deer-patterned brocade robe is lifted, two thin chains can be seen.
"continue."
The wolf head pattern on the octagonal silver-engraved armlet was twisted open, revealing a pair of arrows.
"continue."
The pointed-toe shoes are embroidered with honeysuckle patterns, and the toes have hidden fine iron hooks.
…
Cui Jiu's hands were not enough, and he had to rely on his left and right to help him take them down. There were nearly twenty weapons in total.
Qin Zhaoyue: ...
I silently gave a thumbs up, good guy, really good guy.
He quickly poked the ink beside him and whispered, "See? Press this and give me one too!"
Sui Mo thought about it and didn't refuse outright.
Given her prince's ability to cause trouble, it's a good idea for him to carry some weapons with him.
There's no need to be as exaggerated as the person in front of you, just have a few things that are handy.
"You bastard, you've stripped me naked!"
Cui Jiu turned a deaf ear to Helian Chaolu's accusations.
He asked his men to fetch a wooden box, put all the broken weapons into it, then turned and walked towards the captain of the imperial guards.
"Brother, I'll leave this thing to you for safekeeping."
"Forehead……"
The captain of the imperial guards took the wooden box in a daze, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and although they were speechless, silence was louder than words.
The captain immediately understood what the other party wanted to express: the person they were about to take over was a troublemaker, so be careful.
"Thanks, brother."
They handled the matter openly, but were still wrongly accused.
"I'll buy you a drink when you're free."
"No problem."
Although he agreed verbally, Cui Jiu actually didn't take it seriously at all.
He felt that this brother...would hardly have any free time in the future.
After doing this, Cui Jiu stepped aside.
Helian Chaolu strode over.
After standing still, his left palm hangs loosely at his waist, like a rein, with his knuckles slightly bent, as if caressing the invisible wind on the grassland.
At the same time, he put three fingers of his right hand together and stroked his left chest.
He bowed slightly and performed the standard eagle-stroking salute.
Pei Xueqi bowed in return, while Qin Zhaoyue just nodded slightly.
Before leaving, Nanny Liu reminded them that since they were not facing any distinguished guests, they just needed to not behave too arrogantly.
Helian Chaolu accepted the gift and stared at Pei Xueqiao blankly.
"Mr. Pei, right?" She was very sharp-eyed and heard the previous greetings.
"He's quite handsome, but a little skinny, like a pretty boy."
Pei Xueqiao:!
Qin Zhaoyue on the side was amused. This girl was interesting and had good taste.
Helian Chaolu lost interest after she finished speaking, and turned to look beside her, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with tiny lights.
"This princess is so beautiful..."
