Chapter 243 In The KY City (1/2)
Perhaps it was because of the selection, Emperor Ning felt that he owed a lot to Lady Jin, so he agreed to her request without hesitation, even if this request was somewhat difficult to accept.
Emperor Ning was afraid that Yun Shang would suffer losses at the frontier, so he sent a small group of secret guards to follow her and obey her orders. Along with which, he also presented an imperial edict, a golden medal, and a sacred sword that could make Yun Shang act without waiting for the Emperor's approval. When the imperial edict arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, Yun Shang was also surprised. Although she knew Lady Jin agreed with it and it should be no problem, she didn't expect that it came so soon.
Seeing the astonishment on the butler's face, Yun Shang worried that something unexpected would happen if she didn't tell Prince Jing about it in time. So she asked Qian Yin to pack up her belongings and set out with her people the next morning.
It was inconvenient for a woman to walk outside. Yun Shang changed into men's clothes, and they had arrived at the outside of KY City after about ten days.
It seemed that the KY City hadn't been influenced by the war at all. The people in the city were still leisurely and the street was full of people and seemed to be prosperous. Yun Shang couldn't help frowning, feeling that this situation was somewhat strange.
Yun Shang left all her guards outside the city. When she came into the KY City, she didn't go to the Qi Mansion directly. Instead, she found a fancy tavern and went inside.
There was no private room in the tavern, so Yun Shang sat in the hall on the second floor. After ordering some food, Yun Shang looked up at the waiter and said with a smile, ”Hello, we came from the NX City. I heard that the KY City was fighting, so I come here to see if my business in the family is affected. But, why does it look like that we are not fighting at all?”
The NX City was a prosperous city in the State of Ning. Yun Shang was afraid that she would say that she came from the Imperial City to attract the attention of others, so she just made up the story casually.
The waiter grinned and said, ”You don't know? We thought we would have to close the door if the war began. But it turned out that the people of the State of Xia are afraid of General Qi's fame. It's more than a month now, but the soldiers of the State of Xia only dare to station dozens of miles. Only occasionally send someone to see, like a turtle, they don't dare to come at all. I don't think we can get into a fight. General Qi is a major general of the State of Ning. He has a strong force. I'm afraid he's as mighty as Prince Jing.”
Yun Shang put her hands on the table and talked with the waiter with a smile, ”Really? I was worried for nothing. With General Qi in charge, our KY City must be safe without mishap. ”
She gave the attendant two taels
