The Ancient Martial Witch Arrives

Chapter 302 (2)
When Lan Jiu leisurely appeared in front of the gate of Yecheng on his cavalry, he really attracted the attention of the city gate guards.The gates of Yecheng are tall and heavy, and guarded by armored guards in front of the city. The defense of the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty is naturally tight. In comparison, it is not difficult to see that the defense of Yecheng is much stronger than that of Jianye City in Wu Kingdom.

There are not only sergeants stationed in front of the city gate, but also cavalry on standby. If an emergency occurs, these cavalry can respond in the first time, and a huge crossbow arrow is erected every few feet above the city wall. This kind of crossbow bolt is powerful enough to smash a boulder after being fired a hundred meters away.

It is conceivable that Yecheng's defense can be completely impregnable even if there are more than [-] troops attacking on the opposite side.

There have always been many wars in the Northern Wei Dynasty, so the atmosphere in the country is more martial. Although most of the wars are in the north, Yecheng in the south of the Northern Wei Dynasty is the capital, and naturally has a strong garrison army.

When he first came here, Lan Jiu naturally wouldn't cause trouble, because he was chasing Changhe and rescuing the fox girl, so Lan Jiu was very low-key.Especially when passing through the city gate, Lan Jiu deliberately jumped off the cavalry and led the horse through the city gate on foot.And the defenders in front of the city gate all bowed their heads to salute after seeing the mount behind Lan Jiu, because they all knew the emblem of Princess Xiangjun's soldiers.

Seeing these soldiers saluting, Lan Jiu's heart moved, and he asked, "Did you see a carriage pulled by a clouded leopard come in?"

"Yes, they entered the city in the afternoon. They went to the Xiangguo Mansion." The defender quickly replied.

Lan Jiu nodded silently, then walked into Yecheng.The wide streets and numerous shops give people a sense of prosperity, but in fact Yecheng is indeed very prosperous, because in the south of the Northern Wei Dynasty, far away from the battlefield, it has become the largest trading ground in Wu.

The whole Yecheng is divided into inner and outer layers. The outer layer is where ordinary residents and vendors gather. You can see countless shops and markets here, and even small vendors selling on the roadside, while the inner city It is a noble area, where the law and order and management are relatively formal. Relatively, the shops and so on are naturally higher-grade.

The area of ​​Yecheng is much larger than that of Jianye City. It is more than two hundred miles long from east to west, north to south, and can accommodate millions of people.

Lan Jiu, who had never been to Yecheng, felt dizzy and lost as soon as he entered the city, because it was too big, there were too many passers-by, and it was very noisy.

When Lan Jiu was walking on the bustling street, she was curious to find that all the passers-by were looking at her respectfully, and even many people saluted her.After the initial surprise, Lan Jiu understood that the reason they respected her was because of the cavalry she was leading. They were respectful to Princess Xiangjun's subordinates.

However, Lan Jiu also noticed some hostile eyes hidden behind these pedestrians. He saw several soldiers and some warriors appearing at the corner of the bustling street, all looking at him with vigilant and hostile eyes.And walking all the way from the checkpoint, Lan Jiu was able to find the people behind him, but Lan Jiu just ignored him lazily.

It is not difficult to understand that these people must be on the opposite side of King Xiang.Although Princess Xiangjun was loved by the army and people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, she still had opponents, and the current crown prince was the opponent of Lord Xiang.

"Are you under Princess Xiangjun?" When Lan Jiu walked into a small alley, those people who had been paying attention to her appeared and stopped her, and a middle-aged man with a thin face asked.

"Well, I'm going to Xiangguo Mansion, do you know how to get there?" Lan Jiu nodded.

The man's face was quite unfriendly. When he was talking, he looked at Lan Jiu with hostile eyes, and he also believed that Lan Jiu must have seen his hostility, but Lan Jiu asked him to lead the way, and the man couldn't help sneering "Hahaha, do you want to go to Xiangguo Mansion? There are no visitors to Xiangguo Mansion these days, so you should go back." The man laughed and motioned to the people around him, and several people came forward, intending to search Lan Jiu's body.

"Wait, I'm a guest invited by Changhe! I'm also a guest invited by Madam Wen!" Lan Jiu didn't make a move. The few people in front of him can be easily killed if he wants to, but Lan Jiu needs them to do it for him. Lead the way yourself.

"Stop! What did you just say?" The man's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and he quickly stopped his subordinates and asked hastily.

"Should I say it a second time? I said that Madam Wen asked me to come, and Wen Xue sent me a letter two days ago. I am now Wen Xue is by Madam Wen's side!" Lan Jiu intentionally Pretending to know everything, he said very firmly.

"Wen Xue is following Mrs. Wen, but why didn't I hear Wen Xue say that someone is coming?" The man looked puzzled.

Seeing this, Lan Jiu gradually understood.It seems that these people are not from the prince, but from Xiangguo Mansion, or even from Xiaoyao City, and my nonsense has succeeded in fooling them.It's just that Lan Jiu's level of lying is also well-founded. She learned from Chang Lan that Mrs. Wen is here, so Wen Xue must be here.And Wen Xue is a very important figure in Xiaoyao City, presumably after saying Wen Xue's name, these people dare not underestimate themselves.

"Miss, please, we really didn't get Wen Xue's order, so we didn't know that the girl was coming." The people on the other side became respectful, and quickly invited Lan Jiu out of the alley, and began to walk towards Xiangguo's mansion.

This time Mrs. Wen came to Yecheng for a secret operation, and not many people knew that she lived in Xiangguo's mansion.Therefore, when these people took Lan Jiu to the Xiangguo Mansion, they also avoided crowded places and chose small paths into the inner city.

After arriving at Xiangguo Mansion, these people did not take Lan Jiu through the front door, but walked through the side door exclusively for servants.

"Miss wronged, you wait here for a while, I will report." After entering Xiangguo Mansion, the man brought Lan Jiu to the back garden, and after asking Lan Jiu to wait, he went to report.

The back garden of Xiangguo Mansion is huge. Looking around, you can only see the endless sea of ​​flowers blooming in the night, and there are many lanterns hanging in the garden. Under the light of some dim lights, the sea of ​​flowers shows a more seductive color .
