Queen is fearless

Chapter 353 Feeling Powerless

The people from the government soon came. After all, the bandits here have always been their confidant's serious trouble.

Seeing Gu Shenzhi, everyone immediately became alert. Gu Shenzhi had a seal given by the emperor and other things that could prove his identity, so soon, officials came up to him and talked to him.

"Please help me find a place to rest." The poisoning yesterday and the indulgence last night made it difficult for both him and Jin Jiu.

Jin Jiu was forced to leave, but his subordinates prepared a carriage for her, so she could rest directly.

Although Gu Shenzhi only woke up at noon, he still needs a long rest before he can fully recover.

"Yes, yes! Come, someone, take this lord to rest!" He hurriedly ordered, and immediately someone took Gu Shenzhi to rest.

As for the bandits in this cottage, someone will deal with them.

At the foot of the mountain, Gu Shenzhi declined the kindness of the local officials, and found an inn by himself. After washing up, he took a nap first, because he was really tired.

When he woke up, it was almost evening, he asked his buddy to prepare food, while he sat in the room, staring at the jade pendant left by Jin Jiu in a daze.

From the point of view of quality, it is very valuable, presumably Jin Jiu's true identity is either rich or expensive.

But in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were no nobles with the surname of Jin, and no big merchants. Could it be that she even lied about her surname?

Thinking like this, he stroked the jade pendant, and suddenly found that there were words on the jade pendant.

"Is it really the surname Jin?" At the bottom of the jade pendant, there is a small Jin character, which is the mark of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom.

Looking at the jade pendant, Gu Shenzhi suddenly remembered that he had seen such a jade pendant on the body of the nineteenth prince when he received envoys from the Jin Kingdom years ago.

I didn't look at it carefully at the time, but now that I think about it, my memory is a little fuzzy, but it should be the same material.

Could it be that Jin Jiu is a member of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom?So who is she?
"Guest officer, your order is ready." A waiter's voice came from outside the door, Gu Shenzhi put away the things and opened the door.

After eating, he sat at the table, thinking of Jin Jiu, and then thinking of Huang Ming, he couldn't help sighing.

Even if he wanted to find Jin Jiu, he had to return to the capital to report to the emperor, after all, it involved border matters.

After getting up and moving around, the discomfort on his body was much less. Thinking of the bloody handkerchief, he left the inn and went to the government office, expressing that he wanted to ask the bandits a few words.

Of course, the local officials would not refuse, and quickly accompanied him to the dungeon where he was held.

"I'm sorry to bother you to avoid it for the time being." Looking at the official leading the way, Gu Shenzhi was very polite, and the other party nodded repeatedly and retreated to the side.

The prisoner in the dungeon in front of him was the person who stunned him and Jin Jiu with drugs yesterday. At this moment, he was sitting in the dungeon with his head drooping.

Seeing Gu Shenzhi, he visibly shivered, after all, he was threatened by Jin Jiu once before.

"I'll ask you a question, and you answer truthfully, otherwise, I'll be rude to you." Staring at him, Gu Shenzhi spoke in a cold voice, and he nodded repeatedly, not daring to refute.

"You stunned me with medicine, and what happened after that, I want you to tell me exactly what you know."

"Yes, yes, the thing is like this..." After talking about the cause and effect with Gu Shenzhi, the man thought about it and moved forward.

"My lord, the little one is innocent too. Our village master... Bah, that village leader is a vicious person. If he doesn't listen to her, he will have to... have to bridal with her..."

In the cottage, although everyone has no objection to 'Big Master' and thinks she is quite competent, but no one is willing to do good things with her.

Even though it's the same after blowing out the lamp, seeing such a face and figure during the day is really disgusting!
All the news that should be obtained has been obtained, no matter what the person in front of him says, Gu Shenzhi will not pay attention to it.

Since it was a bandit, the local officials could handle it, so he didn't need to worry about it.

He wanted to go back to the inn to digest what the bandit said.

"My lord, have you finished your questioning? Do you want to find some more for you to ask?" Seeing Gu Shenzhi coming out, the officials who had led the way hurried up to greet him.

"No, thank you very much." Gu Shenzhi cupped his hands at the other party, and wanted to leave.

"My lord, otherwise, go to the government to rest, and make sure no one will disturb you." The person in front of him is an official in the capital, so he naturally wants to please him.

"No, please ask, where's my horse?" Both his and Jin Jiu's horses were taken away by the people in the cottage. Since all the people in the cottage were arrested, the things inside should also be cleaned up.

"Horses?" The official was taken aback for a while, and thought for a while, "Oh, yes, there are horses, and there are two. Follow me."

Taking Gu Shenzhi with him, they arrived at the place where the horses were tethered. The two horses were tied together. When they saw Gu Shenzhi, they snorted and came over.

Seeing that the two horses were there, Gu Shenzhi felt a little sore in his heart. Jin Jiu really left, even the horse stayed behind.

"Can I take these two horses with me?" Gu Anzhi personally selected these two horses with Gu Shenzhi when they were at the border.

"Of course, please, please." In the eyes of the officials, it was Gu Shenzhi who helped capture the entire cottage, which was a great contribution.

But they didn't intend to take credit, and gave them all, not to mention taking the horse away, it was only natural to ask for some benefits.

Leading the horse, Gu Shenzhi left here, went back to the inn, gave the clerk money to feed the horse well, and returned to the room.

The bandit who went to see him told him everything after he passed out, including the process of Jin Jiu interrogating him.

"Jin Jiu, Jin Jiu, what is your identity?" The people around her were not ordinary people who could subdue bandits in the entire village.

Obviously they could be killed, but no one was injured, at most they were seriously injured.

From this point of view, Jin Jiu may not really be from the Great Zhou Dynasty, she should be from the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, that's why there are so many people protecting her, and there is a jade pendant that symbolizes the Jin Kingdom's royal family.

This jade pendant is given to himself now, but let him go to Jin to find her?

But the people under her made it clear that there was no possibility between them, what should he do?
Growing up so big, it was the first time that Gu Shenzhi felt so powerless...

Lying on the bed, sticking Jin Jiu's jade pendant to his chest, Gu Shenzhi closed his eyes.

At the same time, Jin Jiu's carriage was heading towards the border, and she was still asleep.

"Head, after we go back, how shall we explain to His Majesty?" Looking into the carriage, one of them asked in a low voice to the leader.

"Don't you know His Highness's temperament? We don't need to explain this matter, we just need to send His Highness back safely. As for the rest, leave it to Your Highness."
