I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

Chapter 237 Huicheng Su Taishou

After a few days' journey, with Meng Youli's escort, the journey was smooth.

We're almost at the border.

In the past few days, Meng Youli seemed to be deliberately targeting Xiao Qingyue, intentionally or unintentionally. Although there were three carriages, he insisted on squeezing in with the two of them.

Arrived at the last city on the border, Huicheng.

Unlike the places they passed by before, the city gate was heavily guarded and the prefect of Huicheng had been replaced long ago. This was a good thing. Without Nangong Liuying's people exploiting the people, the people's lives would start to get better.

When they arrived at the city gate, the general guarding the city stopped them.

Meng Youli lifted the carriage curtain and showed the token of King Shang. "By order of His Royal Highness King Shang, make way immediately."

The commander guarding the city waved his hand and ordered them to be let in. Meng Youli stepped into the carriage and sighed, "We're finally here. We'll rest here for a day, and then we'll be able to reach the border of the Moon Nation in another half a day tomorrow."

Feng Zhaoyun nodded, "Thank you."

Suddenly the carriage was stopped.

Meng Youli was stunned. "Don't go out. I'll go take a look."

After lifting the curtain and getting out, he was stopped by officials and soldiers in front. The leader was wearing official uniform and was a little older.

Meng Youli got off the carriage and bowed politely. "I am following the order of His Royal Highness Prince Shang to escort the noble away. I wonder who stopped the carriage."

The leading prefect, Lord Su, stepped forward and said, "I am the prefect of Huicheng. I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Shang had distinguished guests here, so I came here to take you all to your residence to rest."

Meng Youli looked at the man and said, "It turns out to be Lord Su. No need to bother, we can just go to the inn."

Lord Su took two steps forward, his face full of smiles. "This is the border. To ensure your safety, it would be better for you to stay at my house. Tomorrow, this official will personally escort you out of the city."

This person was sent by the new emperor. He must have heard of King Shang's name and wanted to take the opportunity to win him over.

Meng Youli bowed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Su."

Lord Su returned the greeting, "Please follow me, everyone."

Arrived at the prefectural government,

Feng Zhaoyun and Xiao Qingyue both wore veils, hiding their true faces.

Lord Su glanced at the two of them and asked, "Who are you?"

Meng Youli quickly replied, "These two are brother and sister, old friends of King Shang. We will only stay for one day. Lord Su, please tell everyone not to disturb them."

Lord Su nodded quickly, "Yes, I understand."

After settling into their respective courtyards, Feng Zhaoyun closed the door, took off her veil, and lay down on the bed. "It's finally time."

Jiuyi stepped forward, poured her a cup of tea, and carried it to the bedside. "Master, our people are still outside the city. Huicheng is under martial law, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the city. I have ordered them to find a way to enter the city."

Feng Zhaoyun took the tea and took a sip. "Jiuyi, you're tired too. Go and rest. You don't have to stay here to watch over me. Tell them not to send dinner. I want to rest well. Don't disturb me."

Jiuyi clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Master, I will be guarding outside the door."

Seeing that she insisted, Feng Zhaoyun knew that he could not persuade her, so he ignored her.

Jiuyi went out, closed the door, and stood guard at the door.

Night came,

Meng Youli and Su Taishou were still having dinner in the main hall. Su Taishou was very flattering to Meng Youli and had a great time chatting with him and drinking with him.

Xiao Qingyue, meanwhile, had a casual meal in her own courtyard. She learned that His Highness had ordered people not to disturb her, so she thought he must be tired. After washing up, she also lay down on the couch.

Meng Youli in the main hall drank to his heart's content and was now feeling a little dizzy, with half of his body leaning on the table.

The governor's face flushed red, and he seemed drunk. She poured him another glass of wine and pushed it towards him, "Master Meng, come, finish this glass, and then we'll go back to rest."

Meng Youli took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

But he didn't notice that among all the glasses of wine, this was the only one that Governor Su didn't drink.

With a thud, Meng Youli fell on the table.

The governor Su, who was sitting not far from him, no longer looked drunk, and she waved her hand calmly.

Two guards came in from outside.

Governor Su took out a hangover pill from his pocket and swallowed it. "Take care of Master Meng and have someone keep an eye on him. Give the order and start the operation."

Guard, "Yes."

Then Meng Youli was carried out.

Not long after, a general in armor came in. This person was the one who ordered them to pass from the city wall.

Governor Su said, "Your Majesty's intention is to kill only that man."

General, "Just to kill one man, why did you need me to lead the army here and go to such great lengths to cooperate?"

Governor Su poured himself a cup of tea and gave her a disdainful look. "You know, the person following that woman is the personal guard of the Princess Shang. If a fight breaks out and she tries to intervene, you and your men might not be able to stop her."

The general was stunned for a moment, then stood up. "Since it is Your Majesty's will, we will definitely complete the mission. You can go ahead and do your job without worry. We will definitely defend that woman's courtyard."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the yard.

Xiao Qingyue had already undressed and was lying on the couch. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

The lights in the house had been turned off long ago. Zhu Qing was guarding the house and had already fallen asleep on the soft couch by the window.

Suddenly, a gas floated in from somewhere.

Zhu Qing suddenly woke up after smelling it. He quickly got up and said, "Master, hold your breath."

But it was too late. Xiao Qingyue didn't know martial arts and didn't notice it, so she had already inhaled the gas.

Zhu Qing quickly ran up to him, grabbed his outer robe, and put it on him. "Master, there is a trap here. I will take you out."

Xiao Qingyue tied her outer robe and nodded.

Just as I was about to stand up, I found my legs weak and fell back powerlessly, feeling dizzy.

Zhu Qing hurriedly supported him.

Just then, the door was kicked open and a dozen masked guards rushed in, swords in hand, and surrounded them.

Seeing that those who came had ill intentions and there were so many of them.

Xiao Qingyue pushed Zhu Qing and said, "I've been poisoned and can't walk anymore. Go quickly and save His Highness."

Zhu Qing, "Your Highness will be protected by others, Master, you hide behind me."

The masked guard in the lead waved his hand, and the people behind him rushed forward, each one of their swords aimed at killing.

Zhu Qing realized that these people wanted them to die here.

The room was suddenly filled with the flashes of swords and the sounds of knives. Zhu Qing came from the general's residence and was already skilled in martial arts, but two fists were no match for four hands. He was alone against more than a dozen people and soon fell into a disadvantage, with knife wounds on his body.

Zhu Qing held Xiao Qingyue with one hand and fought with the masked guard with a knife in the other hand. The two moved out of the house.

The noise here had already alarmed Jiuyi.

But at this time, she was the only one with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the whole city was under martial law, and all the secret guards were trying to find a way to enter the city.

Jiuyi recognized the courtyard where Xiao Qingyue was, and she hurried into the house. "Master, something happened. It seems that someone attacked the courtyard where Master Xiao is."

Feng Zhaoyun quickly stood up and put on his clothes, "Go and save them."

Jiuyi, "I will guard you."

Feng Zhaoyun left the house and glanced at the courtyard with a complex expression. "My courtyard is empty. Their target must be Xiao Qingyue. Don't worry, they won't hurt me. Go quickly!"

Jiuyi was very hesitant, but under Feng Zhaoyun's repeated insistence, he took the knife and went towards Xiao Qingyue's yard.

As soon as he left the yard, he was stopped by heavy troops.

Outside the courtyard, soldiers were holding torches.

The leading general saw Jiuyi coming out and stepped forward, "Sir, the courtyard next door has been attacked by criminals. To ensure your safety, this general and his men are guarding here. Please do not leave this courtyard."

Jiuyi ignored her and tried to leave, but was stopped by the crowd with knives.

Jiuyi, "Get out of the way, just guard this place, don't block my way!"
