Yi Xin as a concubine

In the blink of an eye, the crowd was dispersed, and several tall horses stopped opposite Xin Baoer and others. The people on the horses were wearing military officer uniforms, and they dismounted in a very dashing manner. As the main officer and two deputy officers dismounted, the soldiers following behind them also stopped. The neat footsteps suddenly stopped, and the whispers of the onlookers also stopped. The world around them seemed to have suddenly fallen into stillness, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The aura of the officers and soldiers was so strong that the crowd watching dared not move, but their eyes were busy. After all, everyone has a gossipy heart.

After the chief officer of the soldiers dismounted, he stared at Xin Baoer, who was being guarded in the center by several people, with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.

But Xin Baoer didn't feel that he had much malice. Maybe he just looked fierce, Xin Baoer thought.

The corners of her mouth were tightly pursed under the veil, but she was already somewhat helpless and nervous. After all, she said goodbye to the cowardly and timid self she used to be. It felt great!

"It doesn't seem appropriate for your Excellency to stare at a woman so directly. Could this be the way the Seabuckthorn people entertain guests?" Xin Baoer's voice was flat, and no sign of anger could be heard.

"The girl is not from my country, how can I know whether she is a welcome guest?" The chief officer's voice was cold and full of unquestionable majesty.

"Whether they are guests or not, that depends on why the officer stopped me and my friends." Xin Baoer's emotions remained calm, but there was a questioning look in her eyes when she looked at the other party.

"Please return the little girl in that woman's arms to me. I have to take people back to report." The chief officer looked at several people and said directly.

At first, Xin Baoer thought that it was because of the grain donation issue. She had made a mistake in her prediction and angered the king here, so he mobilized a large number of soldiers to come and capture her.

Looking at the little girl who was hiccuping because of the official's words, he frowned a little deeper, thought for a while and asked, "Who is she to you?"

"Young girl seems to be meddling too much?" the officer continued coldly.

"I'm sorry, she's had a serious shock and I'm afraid she can't go with you yet."

Xin Baoer was a little hesitant when she said this. After all, she didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend. In fact, before the officers and soldiers arrived, Xin Baoer had already asked the little girl about her identity, but the girl really couldn't remember anything.

Probably because of excessive shock, there was a temporary memory disorder, but I don’t know whether this condition is reversible or irreversible.

After hearing what Xin Baoer said, the chief officer's cold expression finally showed a subtle crack, and he asked back: "What happened?"

Xin Baoer didn't answer this. Wei Yu coldly told her how they found the little girl and how they rescued her in the most concise language.

After saying that, he pointed at the two people who had fainted from the pain on the ground and said, "I think you can ask them about the specific situation."

After listening to Wei Yu, the chief officer was silent for a while, then whispered a few words to the two adjutants behind him, looked up again, and his eyes met Xin Baoer's again.

"Since she doesn't want to leave you, then you should come with us."

The tone of command brooked no refusal. Before Xin Baoer could answer, Qin Chu and Wei Yu gave up first. With a "swish", the tips of their swords were already pointing directly at each other's vital points, as if the other party would not hesitate to pierce into their body if they said another rude word like this.

Seeing the other side drawing their swords, the soldiers naturally refused to be outdone. After a series of "swish" sounds of swords being unsheathed, the situation suddenly became tense.

Xin Baoer looked at the huge disparity in fighting power between the two sides, and the corners of her mouth under her veil couldn't help twitching. How could she not know when the two people around her developed such courage and fearlessness?

He comforted the little girl with his eyes, slowly withdrew his hand, then raised his hands and placed them on Wei Yu and Qin Chu's arms, one on the left and one on the right.

"It's okay. The commander should have no ill intentions. Let it go for now!" The voice was gentle and contained obvious soothing intent.

"Can I bring my friends with me? They may not be able to rest easy if I'm alone." Xin Baoer asked.

The chief officer thought for a moment, nodded, and then added: "But you can only bring one person. You two decide who will follow."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yu and Qin Chu's tempers, which had just been suppressed, began to rise again. Xin Baoer had to use a little effort to stop them from getting angry.

"Just let Ayu accompany me, cousin Chu, second brother, take good care of Xian'er and wait for me at home. I don't think I will be delayed for long."

When he said the last sentence, he stared into the eyes of the officer opposite him without blinking, taking in his emotions. However, he did not show any particular emotional fluctuations and just smiled politely.

The situation was stronger than the people, and they had all seen big scenes before. They assessed the situation and took no action. After giving Xin Baoer a few instructions, they pushed the little girl in Zhao Xian's arms to Xin Baoer.

Xin Baoer tried to hold on to someone before nodding to the three of them. She supported the little girl who could barely walk and walked in small steps towards the other side's camp.

When passing by the chief officer, his eyes twitched slightly. A weak woman was supporting a little girl who was equally weak and could not walk smoothly. The scene was so pitiful no matter how he looked at it, as if he was bullying the weak woman.

He waved his hand, and a soldier came up and said, "Get a carriage."

The soldier took the order and left. Xin Baoer did not try to be stubborn but stopped and waited where she was. This action softened the expression of the chief officer who had just given orders.

Funny little girl!

The soldier left quickly and came back quickly. When the carriage stopped, Xin Baoer couldn't help but pause for a moment, but said nothing. With the help of Wei Yu, she helped the little girl onto the carriage first, and then climbed up herself.

Wei Yu looked at the driver, hmm, an acquaintance.

He nodded imperceptibly and sat on the shaft of the cart decisively.

"Go back to the palace." An adjutant shouted loudly, and the crowd once again stood on both sides of the road, not daring to stop for a moment.

When Xin Baoer heard those two words, she raised her eyebrows and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

He lowered his head to look at the little girl nestling in his arms. The little girl might be tired of crying, and was now drowsy, with tears hanging in the corners of her eyes, looking so pitiful.

Judging from her height and appearance, she was probably between ten and thirteen years old. However, due to her thin body and the criss-crossing scars on her arms, which should be due to long-term abuse, her guessed age range was a little exaggerated.

Her hair was messy and her clothes were torn, but the material of the clothes looked good. Her originally dirty little face, because of crying, revealed some of her original fair skin. With her pitiful eyes when she cried, even if she was not a beauty, she was still a pretty girl.

He really looked like a child raised by a wealthy family. Then he became puzzled. If he was born in a wealthy family, why was he in such a miserable state now?

It is said that the most filthy place is in that big house with red walls and green tiles. As a non-staff member, she really can't guess the twists and turns here.

I couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it. I adjusted the sleeping little girl in my arms into a comfortable position, and then I carefully adjusted myself into a comfortable position, then leaned against the car wall and closed my eyes to rest.

When enemies come, we will fight them with our soldiers; when water comes, we will block it with earth. We don’t know what situation we will encounter next, so we might as well stay in good spirits so that we can perform well when the time comes.

The carriage was swaying slowly, neither fast nor slow. Perhaps it was because they were on a main road and were moving very steadily. Xin Baoer fell asleep unknowingly, but her sleep was very light. As soon as the carriage stopped, she opened her eyes, only to be drowsy, which she had not had time to cover up.

"We're here, please get out of the car." The chief officer's voice sounded outside the car.

Xin Baoer did not waste any time. She gently shook the little girl in her arms and said, "Get up. It's time to get off the bus." Her voice was as soft as a feather brushing past.

The little girl woke up slowly, her dirty little face full of confusion, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, she looked so pitiful.

After handing the little girl over to Wei Yu who was waiting by the car, Xin Baoer finally had time to check her surroundings.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the king's meeting room, they were only able to get the carriage all the way to the door. It seemed that the officer in charge of the search must be of a high status and was deeply trusted by the king.

"The king has been waiting for a long time. Please take the little princess with you." Seeing Xin Baoer taking the little girl out of the car, the eunuch waiting at the door hurriedly urged.

Xin Baoer looked up at the not-so-lofty palace, nodded, took the little girl's hand, and walked in without hesitation.
