After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing

Lin Xi got out of the car and looked to the left. She was surprised to see the signpost for Huainan Prefecture.

Huainan Prefecture is a place that is a hundred miles north of Kyoto. It is dark when leaving Kyoto, so one must not have reached the territory of Huainan Prefecture yet.

The person in front was wearing a veil, and one could only vaguely make out the figure of a woman. She didn't say a word the whole time, but just used her body to cover Lin Xi's bound hands.

"You'd better not make any noise, don't say anything, otherwise, I won't know what I will do when I get excited, okay?" She turned her head and said in a sharp voice.

Lin Xi nodded and looked at the shop at the intersection of the post station, thinking that he would rest here.

"I won't say anything."

The people in the post station were a mixed crowd, with merchants and warriors coming and going. Lin Xi rolled his eyes, always looking for an opportunity to escape.

Although this inn is shabby, it is kept very clean. I guess the owner here is someone who has been doing business for a long time.

"What's your name?" Lin Xi staggered after her and couldn't help but ask.

The man replied lightly: "My name is Ah Qi. You can also call me Ah Qi."

She was dressed lightly, and the man she had just spoken to disappeared at some point. Chunhua was knocked unconscious by them and thrown on the ground at the intersection. She didn't know what the situation was now.

"Aqi, I'm thirsty." Lin Xi's lips were dry. She pursed her lips and looked at Aqi eagerly.

Ah Qi held her hand tightly and said, "Okay, I'll take you to drink some water when we get in."

Only after entering the house completely did Lin Xi see the situation clearly. She tried her best to act as obedient as possible in front of Ah Qi, so as to lower her guard.

If I really take her to Huainan Prefecture, I don’t know if I will be able to return to Kyoto alive.

"You'd better not have any bad ideas." Ah Qi warned again and then took out a kettle for her.

Lin Xi held the kettle with both hands and tilted her head back, revealing a white patch of skin on her slender neck, which attracted everyone's attention. She gulped down a few sips quickly, then said softly, "Ah Qi, I'm hungry."

As I was talking, my stomach started to think again.

Ah Qi seemed to be a good-natured person. He actually waved his hand to call the waiter over, ordered a few dishes to be served, and then turned around and asked, "Is this all right?"

Lin Xi nodded with a smile.

When the servant saw Lin Xi, he couldn't help but glance sideways. In all the years he had worked at the post station, he was the first person to see someone so good-looking.

There were noisy sounds of drinking all around. Lin Xi looked around secretly. The man who came to arrest her just now was not here. He might have other tasks.

Judging from Ah Qi's attire, it looked like he was going to catch her for money.

So what else is there on her that they can plot against?

Lin Xi, I don’t know either.

The food was served very quickly at the post station. After the waiter had brought all the dishes to the table, he left. During this time, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Lin Xi a few times.

Seeing this, Ah Qi sneered and said, "Miss Lin Er, you have a good trick."

Lin Xi came back to her senses, smiled, and said, "Miss Qi, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?" She sat upright, picked up the chopsticks and wiped them with a towel, then slowly picked up the dish in front of her, put it in her mouth, frowned, spit it out, and said loudly:

"This dish is so disgusting, doesn't this inn have a chef?"

The waiter was originally serving guests in the front. When he heard Lin Xi's words, he instantly lost all his favor towards her. However, he could only smile and ask, "Sir, are you dissatisfied with the food in our restaurant?"

Lin Xi's expression showed a hint of disgust. He lifted his eyelids and said, "Yes, how can this dish be so unpalatable? Is your restaurant a scam?"

Unexpectedly, she would provoke him again and again. The servant was patient and said, "How could that be? Our store has been at this intersection for more than 20 years, and no one has ever said that it is a black shop."

"Really?" Lin Xi dropped the chopsticks in his hand and the bowls on the table to the ground. "I said it was a shady shop, it is a shady shop, the food here is terrible."

"What's so bad about it? I think it tastes great." The people watching from the side couldn't help but speak up to defend the servant.

Some people even looked down on Lin Xi's contemptuous look and couldn't help but scold him, "If you think this is a black shop, then report it to the police! What are you still doing here?"

When Ah Qi saw that a fight had broken out, he immediately turned against Lin Xi and threw a string of copper coins to the servant, saying, "This is compensation for you. She is ignorant and doesn't know how to talk. She doesn't really think this way."

As he said that, Ah Qi looked at Lin Xi hatefully. She had just walked out for a short time, how could she be so good at causing trouble?

Lin Xi continued, "I didn't cause any trouble. The vegetables are not fresh. I think they have been left for a long time. The rice is also half-cooked."

The servant wanted to endure it at first, but when he heard Lin Xi slandering his inn, he threw the copper coins to Ah Qi and said to Lin Xi angrily: "Miss, if you are not satisfied, let's go directly to the government! Let the adults decide whether my inn is a black shop, how about it?"

When Ah Qi heard the servant say that he was going to the government office, her expression changed immediately. She grabbed Lin Xi and took out another string of copper coins from her waist, saying, "I'm really sorry. She was sick when she was a child and has a problem with her brain. Don't bother with her."

Suddenly, someone opened the window on the second floor of the inn. He was wearing a pure blue robe and leaning lazily on the bed. His eyelids were lightly drooping, and his long eyelashes cast a faintly visible shadow on his eyelids. His thin lips were slightly raised, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

He gently shook the folding fan in his hand and it opened.

He looked disdainfully at Ah Qi beside Lin Xi and said softly:

"Huainan Palace?"

"It's really fun."

Lin Xi raised her head and met his gaze, feeling slightly surprised.

Mr. Chen San, why are you here?

It seems like it was all planned out.

By the time she reacted, the man was no longer by the window, and she was held tightly by Ah Qi, unable to move.

Ah Qi gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear: "If you make trouble again, I will kill you right here."

"You dare not kill me." Lin Xi had just tested her bottom line. No matter what the situation was, she had to ensure that she arrived at her destination safely.

It seemed that this person wanted more than just her life.

"Besides, I'm afraid you can't escape from this inn now." Lin Xi smiled, his tone was a little cold, and the look he gave Ah Qi was very indifferent.

Chen Xun would not appear here for no reason, he must have his own calculations.

"Master Chen, please save me quickly. I am the eldest daughter of the Lin family and I am being held hostage by this thief." Lin Xi suddenly became terrified and screamed. She tried to break free from Ah Qi's control.

But Ah Qi was afraid that she would really escape from his control, so he took out the dagger and put it against her waist, and said anxiously: "Why are you pretending to be weird?"

"Miss Lin, why? Do you need me now?" As he spoke, Chen Xun's men appeared in front of everyone at some point.

When I heard him say "this official" and his last name was Chen, I felt inexplicably cold.

Everyone will think of the dreaded Lord Chen.

Everyone was so surprised by this sudden change that they were speechless.

Ah Qi looked at Chen Xun cautiously. They had all heard of Lord Chen's reputation.

What's more, the name Chen Xun has always been a source of concern and fear for others since it appeared in official circles.

Ah Qi was no exception. She was afraid that if her identity was exposed, it would cause unnecessary trouble for her master.

After all, she didn't know why she had to come all the way here to deal with such a person.

Lin Xi looked at Chen Xun and hesitantly clenched her hand. The person who grabbed her from behind must be related to the people in Huainan Prefecture. However, she didn't expect Chen Xu to show up now.

Chen Xun closed the fan slowly, raised his eyes, and instantly became more aggressive. He pointed the fan at Ah Qi behind Lin Xi, and his thin lips opened and closed: "She, I don't care; you, I want to take away."

Ah Qi knew that this was aimed at her, so she could only treat Lin Xi as her hostage. Otherwise, if her identity was leaked, she was afraid that under the current circumstances, it would cause even greater trouble for Huainan Prefecture.

Lin Xi didn't expect that Chen Xun could say such cold words, and hurriedly shook his head, "Master Chen, have you forgotten that I raised Dongpo pork for you? Can't these friendships save my life?"

She spoke with tears in her eyes, causing others to laugh and complain on her behalf.

When Chen Xun heard these complaints, he just smiled casually. It was not known whether it was because his temperament was too cool that caused the people around him to unconsciously step back and stay away from him.

Ah Qi was confused by Lin Xi's words. Is there any love between them?

If he is in love, why is Lord Chen still like this?

Ah Qi had no time to think about it. Her body's reactions over the years made her make a quick judgment. She could only force Lin Xi to be her hostage and escape from the door behind her. This place was also close to the port. As long as she escaped to the port, she would have a chance of survival.

But Chen Xun would never give her this opportunity. He said calmly, "You came to Kyoto for more than just capturing Miss Lin."

"I have been having some free time recently, but I didn't expect to have arrested several of you and got some information. Is your master still unwilling to behave himself?"

Ah Qi's hands trembled. She didn't expect that he had found some clues. She concealed the panic in her eyes and put the dagger in her hand against Lin Xi's neck without hesitation. She said in a firm tone: "If Master Chen really doesn't care about this young lady's life, then I will take someone to be buried with him. It's not impossible."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun did not move his hands and even signaled her to hurry up.

Lin Xi didn't dare to gamble. She would not let herself die in this place. Since Chen Xun was unwilling to help her, she would save herself. Thinking of this, she became even more confused while waiting for Ah Qi.

"Aqi, even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape. But if you kill me, you won't be able to do anything your master wants you to do. Do you really want to?" Lin Xi spoke, but his voice was very calm, not like someone who was facing death at all.

"Besides, it doesn't matter if you die, your master's mission is the most important!" Lin Xi then said lightly: "Your master must want me to go to Huainan Prefecture intact, right?"

Ah Qi was shocked. She didn't expect Lin Xi to guess it, and she couldn't really do anything to Lin Xi. After all, even if she died, the mission would still be there, and naturally someone would come to take over.

However, if she really killed Lin Xi in order to escape, the people behind her would not be able to complete the mission. She would not care if the mission failed, but if the mission was invalidated, even if she died, her master would not let her rest in peace.

Ah Qi's heart was already in turmoil.

Seeing this, Lin Xi smiled, and when Ah Qi wasn't paying attention, she had taken out a pill from the silver bracelet on her hand and applied it on her hand. The effect of this knockout drug was extremely strong.

Ah Qi's head was becoming more and more dizzy, and the moment she fell down, she finally understood that she had been tricked by Lin Xi.

Chen Xun's smile deepened a little, and when he looked at Lin Xi, there was some unusual emotion in his eyes. He walked forward and said, "Miss Lin, shall I take you back to Beijing?"

Lin Xi nodded but said nothing.

Then, on the road, they encountered attacks of varying sizes.

Chen Xun said with interest: "Miss Lin, these people are all coming for you."

Lin Xi looked calm, but it was hard to tell what she was thinking deep down.

"To be honest, if there were other people in Kyoto who encountered what Miss Lin encountered, I don't know how scared they would be. You can still remain so calm. I really admire you." Chen Xun spoke to her softly, gently and slowly, and it sounded as pleasant as singing.

"Really?" Lin Xi turned her head and looked at Chen Xun's handsome face, and smiled: "Then how scared should I pretend to be in front of adults so that they won't suspect me?"

Lin Xi knew that Chen Xun suspected that she was involved with the people in Huainan Prefecture, which was why they went to such great lengths to capture her and take her to Huainan Prefecture.

However, she had never been to Huainan Prefecture since she was a child, nor had she met anyone from Huainan Prefecture, so how could she be involved?

Could it be her background?

Lin Xi's expression suddenly changed. Fortunately, she covered it up quickly. However, Chen Xun noticed the change in an instant.

He opened his mouth and said, "The King of Huainan is the most secretive person in your majesty's life, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a taboo in the palace."

Lin Xi also knew about this. Ever since the death of King Huainan, the people in Huainan Prefecture have become more and more silent, as if they wanted the people in Kyoto to forget their existence.

"I don't know anyone in Huainan Prefecture." Lin Xi said.

She really didn't know him, so even if Chen Xun sent someone to investigate, they wouldn't find out anything.

"You don't have to test me, sir. Just check it yourself."
