Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system

The second day after Qi Mingjing and Lin Jiu came to Beijing, the palace came to summon them.

When they arrived at the imperial city, Qi Mingjing went to see Emperor Jiayou, while Lin Jiu followed the eunuch to see the queen.

"Stop, this is not the direction to the middle palace. Where do you want to take my wife?" Lin Jiu saw that the eunuch was taking the road more and more sideways, so she stood there and looked at him coldly.

"Mrs. Lin." The eunuch smiled and turned around, "Didn't anyone tell you that you can't be too smart?"

"What do you want to do?" Lin Jiu pretended to be scared and looked at the eunuch in front of him.

"Of course I'm sending my wife on her way." The eunuch waved his hand, and someone immediately came up to catch Lin Jiu. Seeing this, Lin Jiu immediately turned around and ran away.

"Quick, catch her, don't let her run away." The eunuch's expression changed and he immediately sent someone to chase Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu did not follow these people in circles, but ran directly forward in the direction of Zichen Palace, neither fast nor slow. Every time the eunuch guards tried to catch her, she ran away smoothly, and ran while running. Crying loudly, "Brother Six, help."

At the Zichen Palace, Qi Mingjing had just met Emperor Jiayou and was following a group of ministers who were discussing matters. She saw Lin Jiu hiding behind Qi Mingjing in embarrassment.

"Sixth brother, save me, they want to kill me."

"Brother Six, Bianliang is too terrible. I don't want to stay in Bianliang. I want to go back to Xiping. I want Linjiacun."

Lin Jiu hid behind Qi Mingjing and cried until she was out of breath.

"Don't be afraid, Ninth Sister, Brother Six is ​​here, no one can hurt you." Qi Mingjing kicked the eunuch who was chasing Lin Jiu down the steps.

"Captain Qi, you are so impudent." The official on the side jumped out immediately.

"Woooo~ Brother Six, this man is so vicious. I'm scared. I want to go back to Xiping, I want to go back to Linjiacun." Seeing this, Lin Jiu cried loudly again.

Qi Mingjing patted Lin Jiu on the back and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Ninth Sister. Tell Brother Sixth why they are chasing you."

Lin Jiu sobbed, "When we entered the palace, you went to see the official. The eunuch who took me to see the queen said he wanted to go to the toilet and asked me to wait for him. I waited there for a long time, and I was so hungry. The eunuch who led the way didn't come either. Later, the eunuch said that he was ordered by the prince to take me to see the queen. I didn't believe it, but he took out the token from the middle palace, so I followed him, but , but he took me to a remote place and said he wanted to send me on my way."

"Uuuu~ Brother Six, there are so many people coming to catch me. My hands and feet hurt so much."

Hearing this, Qi Mingjing immediately picked up Lin Jiu's sleeve and looked at it, only to see that Lin Jiu's wrists were covered with scratches.

"Bang." Qi Mingjing knelt directly on the ground, "How dare a little eunuch target the official family members, and let the official family make the decision."

"Officials, General Qi has been guarding the border for many years. Now his relatives are almost killed in the palace. Someone must be deliberately trying to sow discord between the imperial court and Qi's army. We also ask the officials to investigate thoroughly." The ministers quickly thought that this might be the case. The purpose of spies is to alienate the relationship between military commanders and the imperial court.

If Lin Jiu died in the palace this time, Qi Xiuwen and Qi Xiuwu would definitely not tolerate it. If he did not give an explanation for what happened today, it would also chill the hearts of other generals.

Emperor Jiayou's face was horribly dark. Although he kept urging Qi Mingjing to take his wife back to Bianliang, he never thought about Lin Jiu's life. He needed the Qi family army to stop the Liao people for him and suppress the rebellion in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The female family members of the Qi family are all his means and hostages to control the Qi family army. How could he take the lives of these hostages? Not only can he not ask for their names, but he also has to provide them with good food and drink.

"Someone is coming."

"Officials." The two gold guards immediately knelt in front of Emperor Jiayou.

"Detain these people, torture them severely, and find out the organization behind them."

"Yes."

"Mrs. Xiao Qi was frightened in the palace. She was given a special reward of a pair of Ruyi jade, two pours of pearls from the East China Sea, twelve pieces of Sichuan brocade, twelve pieces of soft cloud smoke, two century-old ginseng trees, and one hundred taels of gold."

"Thank you for the reward from the officials."

"The official family, my wife is frightened, and I would like to ask the official family to allow me to take my wife back to the house."

Emperor Jiayou waved his hand.

Qi Mingjing hugged Lin Jiu and walked out of the imperial city.

On the carriage, Qi Mingjing gently touched Lin Jiu's wrist with her hand, "Does it hurt?"

"A little."

"I'm sorry." Qi Mingjing held Lin Jiu in her arms and whispered.

"It's not your fault, what are you apologizing for?" Lin Jiu said with a smile, "What's more, after this incident, I will only have the impression of a child who understands nothing in the eyes of these people in Beijing, and you are An impulsive young man who loves his little wife, this is more convenient for us to hide. I just don’t know who is doing it this time."

"No matter who is openly assassinating officials' family members in the palace, whether they are ministers in the capital or soldiers on the frontier, Emperor Jiayou will have to give an account."

The carriage stopped outside Qi Mansion, and Qi Mingjing carried Lin Jiu back to Chunhui Courtyard.

After taking off her coat, Qi Mingjing discovered that Lin Jiu also had multiple scratches on her legs.

"I should really kick that eunuch to death."

"Okay, since you are going to use the bitter trick, you will naturally have to suffer a little. This small injury will be fine in a day." Lin Jiu patted Qi Mingjing's hand soothingly.

"I'm going to give you some medicine. It hurts a little, so please bear with it."

"Ah."

People in the Qi Mansion knew that Lin Jiu was injured in the palace, so they sent people over to visit, and Lin Jiu thanked them one by one.

In Qi Mansion's study, Qi Mingjing and Qi Mingxu were sitting together.

"What do you think of what happened in the palace today?" Qi Mingxu asked.

"The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. Chai Ji wants to test Ajiu, and some people want to see Ajiu's life to see how our Qi family army will react."

There have been rumors in Beijing that Qi Xiuwen married Qi Mingjing to ten-year-old Lin Jiu because of Lin Jiu's extraordinary ability. Even the previous inexplicable murders of the Liao royal family and the capture of Ye Luxiong were all due to Lin Jiu's advice.

No one believed the news at first.

But the rumors got worse and worse, and finally some people believed in the matter, which also made some people extremely curious about Qi Mingjing, his destined wife.

However, Emperor Jiayou scoffed at these rumors and believed that they were just a means for the Qi brothers to refuse his marriage.

When the spies arranged by the imperial court in the Liao Kingdom said that the news coming back from Yeluxiong's cronies was almost the same as the news coming from the capital, Emperor Jiayou couldn't help but believe it. So Qi Mingjing was suddenly promoted from a school captain to the position of captain of light vehicles, because the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulated that the family members of military generals from the fourth rank and above must stay in the capital. In this way, Emperor Jiayou would have enough Lin Jiu was detained in Bianliang for a reason.

"I believe that before tomorrow, the news that you married a child bride will spread throughout Bianliang."

"Isn't this better? Only if they despise Ajiu will we have more opportunities."
