Chapter 73 Things are getting more and more interesting.
Upon hearing Yao Bing's shout, Bai Yu was startled and immediately covered Lu He's mouth, pressed her head down, and made the two of them lie tightly behind the wall on the roof so that they couldn't be seen from the other side.
Immediately afterwards, two whooshing sounds were heard outside, as if someone had leaped out, and in an instant, the clash of swords and the clang of blades filled the air.
Are there other people? Bai Yu cautiously peeked out and saw a young man dressed in a black military officer's uniform fighting with a Golden Guard in golden armor.
“They look like officials from the Imperial City Guard…” Bai Yu shrank back and reported to Lu He, who was being held down by him and struggled to look up at him.
Bai Yu then realized he had overstepped his bounds and quickly released his grip, his face flushed red: "Master, please forgive me. I was in a hurry just now and offended you greatly..."
Seeing this, Lu He asked in confusion, "Why are you still blushing?"
"Uh, because you're a girl..."
"Huh? You figured it out a long time ago?" Lu He was a little surprised. She thought she had dressed up quite roughly. Not only did she not have any women's makeup, but she also specially put on a beard, applied thick eyebrows, trimmed her sideburns, tied her hair up with a long crown, and even wore a bodice, looking like a young man. How could she have been seen through?
Lu He was completely baffled. She had always avoided those pointless cross-dressing dramas she had seen in TV series.
“It’s not because of your appearance, it’s because of your voice. You are clearly not a man,” Bai Yu replied seriously. “If you don’t speak, I actually can’t tell that you are a woman.”
"Then..." Lu He was about to ask if there was any way to avoid being discovered when he was interrupted by Yao Bing's reprimand from outside.
"Stop it all!"
The sounds of clashing swords immediately ceased.
"Zhao Kun! Lord Zhao! What does this mean?" Yao Bing raised his long sword and pointed it at the Imperial City Guard official standing in the center.
Zhao Kun, Supervisor of the Imperial City Guard, rank 7.
Yao Bing was of a higher rank than him, so naturally he dared to point a knife at him.
"Lord Yao!" Zhao Kun bowed and said, "This humble official has come to escort you on the orders of the Prime Minister..."
"Prime Minister?" Yao Bing deliberately seized the opportunity to make things difficult: "But this steward said that the carriages and horses belonged to Minister Nie, so why is that?" He pointed to the steward who had been beaten half to death.
Zhao Kun frowned. He didn't understand why the steward and Yao Bing had said those things earlier. He had been far away and in the shadows, and only revealed himself after seeing the steward being beaten by the Imperial Guards.
"This, I don't know, but I was indeed ordered by the Prime Minister..." Zhao Kun came on this mission alone, without bringing a single soldier. Even if he wanted to fight the Imperial Guards, he couldn't defeat so many people by himself. Moreover, General Yao Bing's martial prowess was probably even higher than his, and he might not even be able to win in a one-on-one fight.
Zhao Kun had no choice but to take out the Prime Minister's Mansion token given to him by the Prime Minister and show it to Yao Bing.
Yao Bing raised his chin, gesturing for the Imperial Guard beside him to come and get it, "Bring it here and let me see!"
After taking the token, Yao Bing looked at it perfunctorily for a while, then tossed it back to Zhao Kun, who caught it.
"I'm sorry, but you were appointed Prime Minister, while I was appointed by the Princess. I don't need to explain which is more important, do I?" Yao Bing directly invoked his status as a member of the imperial family.
“Lord Yao… don’t make things difficult for me. We’re all colleagues, so why not do each other a favor…” Zhao Kun lowered his voice and discussed with Yao Bing.
"No, Princess Chengde has given a death order. This carriage is not allowed to leave today!" Yao Bing refused to budge an inch.
“Since that’s the case…then the Lieutenant General must blame me.” Zhao Kun said, releasing the signal arrow summoned by the Imperial City Guard.
Yao Bing looked up and frowned. If the Imperial City Envoy from the Imperial City Guard came in person, his official rank would be too high to hold back, since the other party was a fourth-rank official.
"This is bad. The Imperial City Guard and the Golden Guard are about to clash." Lu He hadn't expected that the Prime Minister would secretly send the Imperial City Guard to protect her. After all, the betrothal ceremony had gone smoothly in the previous part of the story, but now, because of her intervention, the whole story had begun to change.
Yao Bing, Zhao Kun, Bai Yu, and others did not appear when reviewing the original storyline...
"This is finally getting interesting!" Lu He smiled excitedly. It was time for her to rewrite this story world.
She looked up and asked Bai Yu, "How strong is your wrist? Can you hit Yao Bing from this distance?"
