The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

The road to the Mantuo Manor was very steep. The men in black fought their way through, leaving many corpses behind. Finally, someone broke through to the entrance of the small square.

But just then, a white figure slowly walked to the entrance and blocked the men in black.

The woman's eyes were calm, like a deep, bottomless lake.

After arriving in front of the group of men in black, the woman slowly sat down, took out the backpack from behind her, and opened it.

Inside was a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument).

The woman carefully rested one end of the zither on her knees, as if she were about to put on an important performance!

At this moment, there was plenty of space around her. As long as you went around her, you could continue to kill your way up!

However, upon seeing this woman, almost all the men in black stopped in their tracks!

His gaze was somewhat unfocused!

For some reason, although the woman sitting in front of them was an ordinary woman, she gave them the feeling of a snow-capped mountain blocking their way, making them not even dare to have the slightest thought of climbing her!

The woman's eyes remained calm, and she didn't say anything, just sat there quietly.

Looking at the woman's back not far behind him, Jia Daoshi also felt the unfathomable pressure emanating from that small body!

"No need to look anymore, let's continue our conversation."

Just then, Ji Wuxin slowly walked up to Jia Daoshi, leaned forward, his chest almost touching Jia Daoshi's chest, and his lips almost touching Jia Daoshi's ear: "I have heard that you are a master of the Jinshi School, and also the teacher of Prince Shen?"

A faint fragrance wafted to his nose, and Jia Daoshi felt his body go numb!

This empress is truly amazing!

This way of asking questions makes it difficult for people to lie.

But I'm not a member of the Jinshi School at all!

They don't even know what the Jinshi School is!

He took a deep breath, suppressing the burning desire in his heart: "Your Majesty is wise, so I suppose so!"

Ji Wuxin smiled faintly and took two steps back: "I guess so? You're quite interesting. No wonder Lei Bao chose you."

Thunder Leopard!

Jia Daoshi felt a jolt of fear.

Jia Daoshi believed he had kept Lei Bao's matter very secret.

Although Lei Bao seems like a good person, your stance is different. If someone wants to kill you, you will naturally resist.

"Let me see it." Ji Wuxin seemed unconcerned about Jia Daoshi's change in expression, remaining calm and composed.

"what?"

“Naturally, it’s a token.”

Jia Daoshi felt a chill run down his spine. This empress was terrifying; she actually knew all this.

However, since the other party had already told him, there was no need for him to hide anything, so he simply took out the token and handed it over.

Ji Wuxin held the token in his hand, his eyes suddenly filled with emotion and a hint of reminiscence. He lowered his head, gently touched the pair of phoenix wings, and sighed: "Two hundred years of the Great Jing Dynasty, fifty years of the Imperial City Guard, this token has already changed hands thirty-seven times!"

Jia Daoshi was startled again: "I've heard that every provincial inspector has died a violent death."

Ji Wuxin looked up and gave a cold smile: "What, are you scared already?"

"I………"

Despite all his calculations, Jia Daoshi never expected that the Empress would be waiting for him here.

Does he want to become the Imperial City Supervisor himself?

His own wife, Murong Jiu, Di Qinglin, Mu Weishuang, and Yan Ruyu, whom he has not yet met, are all members of the royal family and nobles of the Daqing Kingdom. They are his enemies!

How could I possibly serve my wife's enemy?

Isn't this going against the Heavenly Spirits?

Since Ji Wuxin had said so, he simply admitted defeat: "That's right, the mortality rate is too high. Who wouldn't be afraid?"

Ji Wuxin sighed.

Jia Daoshi was not her, so of course she didn't know the story behind the token.

"Your Majesty, I think we should return this token to you."

"Return?" Ji Wuxin looked up and asked, his expression showing no anger. "You didn't take over, so there's no question of returning it."

Jia Daoshi didn't quite understand, so he didn't continue the conversation and waited for what was to come.

Ji Wuxin reached into his waist and took out a black token. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be exactly the same as Jia Daoshi's!

The relief above is a majestic five-clawed golden dragon, and below the dragon's body is also carved a traditional Chinese character "壹" (one).

"Kyoto's terrain is like a dragon coiled and a phoenix soaring. There is a legend among the Great Jing royal family that only the one who truly possesses this token can ride dragons and play with phoenixes. And the one who bears this token must have a strong and unwavering heart! You are a man of great literary talent, but you were afraid just now, which shows that your courage is lacking. As you are now, you are simply not qualified to take over the Imperial City Guard."

Ji Wuxin's words were ambiguous, but one thing was very clear: he was not worthy of possessing the token.

Isn't this exactly what he wanted?

"Your Majesty, since you have put it that way, then let's take back this token today and choose a worthy minister for the position of Director!"

"This is not something you or I can decide," Ji Wuxin shook his head and said. "The Imperial City Guard is independent of the Six Ministries and has a transcendent status. Moreover, this is Lei Bao's choice, and I trust his judgment! Of course, I admire you and also want to see how you will change in the future. Now, put away your token and go back to your Yilan County. Come to the capital to find me when you are ready."

"I vaguely remember that the previous commander before Lei Bao was also surnamed Jia."

Jia Daoshi: "..."

I almost sold this token several times, but it always ended up back in my possession.

After subconsciously taking the token from Ji Wuxin's hand, Jia Daoshi knew that it was probably impossible for him to make a move again!

The Empress clearly knows a lot about herself, but it's unclear just how much she knows.

For example, the death of Lei Bao.

For example, the identity of one's own wife.

"Why stand so far away from me? Come forward." Ji Wuxin beckoned to Jia Daoshi, signaling him to stand beside her.

"What are your feelings when you look at all this?"

The scene before my eyes was breathtaking.

The mountains stretch endlessly, peaks upon peaks, shrouded in mist and clouds, as if one were immersed in a magnificent painting. The vast and majestic landscape is breathtaking and awe-inspiring.

"The spring breeze blows for ten miles, and the landscape is like a painting."

Jia Daoshi said.

Ji Wuxin shook his head, a faint smile on his face. He put his hands behind his back and murmured, "This is my spring breeze, my empire!"

It's rare to see such domineering presence in a woman.

Just one sentence gave Jia Daoshi an indescribable shock.

This woman is unfathomable!

For a moment, he was filled with emotions.

To be honest, this empress was not what he had imagined.

It is said that Empress Dajing is weak, and the court is embroiled in a power struggle among nine princes, with ministers forming cliques and factions.

However, Jia Daoshi saw a sense of composure in Ji Wuxin.

Before meeting the Empress, Jia Daoshi felt that he had traveled from another time and retained a bit of arrogance, always thinking that even the Empress was nothing special.

But he realized he was wrong.
