I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 298 Tang Xinyi and Shen Changgong

"So that's how it is. Are you from the capital?"

The young general asked.

Tang Xinyi nodded and said,

"Yes, my family is in Shengjing. There is chaos and war going on right now. I am going to seek refuge with my relatives to escape the chaos."

"I see, that's as it should be. But don't worry, young lady. Our Yan army is a benevolent and righteous army. We never kill innocent people or rob people's property. We are now conducting a routine inspection to prevent officials from the Kun Kingdom court from escaping. I hope you can forgive me."

"Please feel free, General."

Tang Xinyi nodded while cursing in her heart.

You're still calling yourself a benevolent army? Pah! You haven't robbed enough money? You're directly blackmailing us for 160 million taels of silver.

No one is as ruthless as you guys in robbing.

The young general got on the carriage and opened each box to check and search, but there was only gold, silver and jewelry inside, nothing else.

Then, he got off the carriage and said to Tang Xinyi,

"Miss, I've checked. Everything inside is your personal property. There's nothing from the Kun Kingdom court. Please get in the car."

Tang Xinyi looked at the other person in surprise. She didn't expect that this Yan army general would be so polite, speak so courteously, and not accept a penny of such a large amount of money.

She was even mentally prepared for the other party to steal all her treasures.

"The Yan army is indeed a benevolent and righteous army. I would like to thank you, General."

Tang Xinyi smiled and nodded to the young general, then got on the carriage.

After sitting in the carriage, Tang Xinyi lifted the curtain and wanted to take another look at the young man. After all, she was afraid that she would never see such a handsome man again.

But the young general hadn't left yet.

"General, this is..."

"Miss, I will escort you past the Yan army camp and then go ten miles south. Once you are beyond the detection range of the Yan army scouts, you won't be stopped by the Yan army when you go.

After all, not all Yan soldiers are good people."

"That would be too much trouble, General."

"It's not a problem. Our Yan army is a benevolent and righteous army. It's our duty to protect the people."

"Thank you so much."

Tang Xinyi lowered the curtain and the carriage started moving.

It turns out that the world outside is better. Any Yan army general you meet is so kind.

Tang Xinyi was no longer afraid that the other party would steal her treasure. If they wanted to steal it, they could just do it directly. There was no one else around anyway.

Tang Xinyi was sitting in the carriage, and saw the two palace maids winking and giggling at her. How could she not know what they were thinking?

She gave them both a fierce look, and then said to the outside of the carriage,

"I haven't asked for your name yet, General. I will repay your kindness one day."

"Miss, there's no need to ask. We just met by chance and we won't see each other again. There's no need to ask my name."

"I see. I'm sorry for being rude. Thank you so much, benefactor. The world is so chaotic right now, and there are so few chivalrous people like you."

"Haha, you're too kind, Miss. There are too many people like me in our Yan army. I'm not outstanding."

"The Yan army is indeed a benevolent and righteous army."

Tang Xinyi nodded and stopped talking.

An idea suddenly popped into my mind.

I wish my future husband could be as good as this general.

He is good-looking, a general at a young age, polite, kind-hearted, not greedy, sensible, and thoughtful...

Alas, what a pity, it was just a chance encounter.

At this moment, Tang Xinyi was full of affection for the young general.

Gradually, the surroundings became a little noisy, as if more and more people were coming. Tang Xinyi didn't care. After all, it was normal to have a lot of people passing by the Yan army camp.

"Shut up!"

"Girl, we're here, please get off the bus."

The young general's voice came from outside.

Tang Xinyi was a little confused. So fast?

She opened the carriage curtain, stood on the board, looked around, and her head buzzed.

There was no official road around at all, but densely packed military camps and the constantly moving Black-armored Yan Army!

"Where is this place? Where did you bring me?"

Tang Xinyi said in shock.

The driver cried and said,

"Miss, they put a knife to my neck and forced me to come here. I dared not disobey..."

Tang Xinyi's face turned pale as she looked at the young general.

The general sat on his horse and gave her a bright and charming smile.

"This is the Yan army camp. Welcome to my territory, my precious little princess."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not a princess!"

"It's almost the same, you must be of a prominent status."

Tang Xinyi's face was pale, as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

At this moment, a woman with a stern face came over and clasped her hands towards the man and said,

"My lord, you are back."

Prince...Prince?

Could it be that he is...

Then, the young general said to the woman,

"Que Ling, put them in a separate tent and interrogate them to find out who they are.

They said they came from Shengjing to escape the war and seek refuge with their relatives, but I saw the carriage was parked on the side of the road, and they actually ran out of the woods.

They were covered in sweat and their feet were covered in mud. It was obvious that they had run a long distance, and it was more like they were escaping.

If they were commoners coming from Shengjing, why didn't they just take a carriage?

Moreover, they were not panicked at all when they saw me, the enemy. This kind of graceful and calm temperament is not something that ordinary women can possess.

The most important thing is that this woman has a bun hairstyle, not the kind that an unmarried woman wears. She has a man, but he ran away. People around her call her Miss and don't tell the truth.

There are too many suspicious points about her, so examine her carefully."

Tu Que Ling nodded and said,

"Yes, may I use the torture?"

"Don't torture them. They are just suspicious. It doesn't mean they are really officials or women from high-ranking officials. They haven't broken any laws, so it's inappropriate to torture them.

You are a woman, so it is more appropriate for you to come to the trial."

"The servant understands."

At this time, the young general turned his head to look at Tang Xinyi and said with a smile,

"By the way, my name is Shen Changgong."

After saying this, he rode his horse to the general's tent.

"Shen... Changgong..."

Tang Xinyi finally confirmed it.

The man in front of her, who looked very polite, spoke courteously, and was humble and courteous, had already discovered too many of her flaws, so he pretended to know nothing and tricked her into the Yan army camp.

Since he suspected me, why didn't he just arrest me and tie me up?

Is it because there is no evidence?

No, he is Shen Changgong.

The commander of the Yan army, Lanling King Shen Changgong!

Shen Changgong, the murderer and greedy man!

He wants to kill someone, but he still talks about evidence?

Tang Xinyi stamped her feet in anger.

Why am I so unlucky?

How come I happened to meet Prince Lanling of Dayan?

You, a prince, leading a cavalry unit as scouts? Who could have imagined that?
