King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

  Chapter 20 Qin Guijun

  There are two major prisons in Beirong State, one is the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which is specially used to interrogate the royal family and nobles, officials of all sizes, and some criminals in the capital.

  Second is a large prison privately set up in the palace, which is specially used to deal with some attendants, guards and servants in the palace.

The prison in the palace is located in the most remote part of the palace. The three floors inside and outside are guarded by guards. The purpose is to prevent people from robbing the prison. There is a large forest in front of the prison. Anyone who wants to enter the prison can only go through the A path in the woods enters, and one can only exit by that path in the woods.

  And there are countless hidden guards guarding the forest. Those who want to rob the prison can only pass through the hidden guards first, and then they can walk to the gate of the prison.

  However, even if they walked to the gate of the prison, there were still countless guards waiting for them, so if they wanted to rob the prison in the palace, it would be impossible. Unless you find another way.

  In the woods in front of the prison

  A servant walked submissively in front of the path, and behind him was a middle-aged and elderly man dressed like a very leisurely father-in-law.

The man held the whisk in his hand and waved it around from time to time to drive away the small flying insects that were approaching, then squinted at the attendant leading the way in front of him, and said impatiently, "Hurry up for our family!" , I didn’t see so many bugs here!”

  The attendant froze, and quickly quickened his pace, almost advancing at a running speed.

Eunuch Duan narrowed his eyes dangerously, and looked at the attendant in front of him coldly, "Why are you running so fast! Don't you know that our family is old and can't walk? How dare you run so fast? It’s impossible to kill our family!”

The attendant paused, knelt down in fright, kowtowed and said aggrievedly, "I don't dare, I don't dare..." Obviously you said to hurry up, why are you blaming me now? The rumors in the palace are really true It's true, Eunuch Duan, like His Majesty, has a moody temperament.

  Eunuch Duan gave him a disgusted look, then turned his head away, "Come on, let's lead the way quickly." Dog, we have someone to clean up our house today, so let's forgive you first, and it won't be too late to clean you up next time.

  The attendant stood up, slowed down his pace, and walked forward at a moderate pace.

  Eunuch Duan smiled in satisfaction, and followed in a leisurely manner, as if he was too old to walk. On the contrary, he is more energetic than that attendant, walking like flying.

"Stop! The prison is heavy, stop immediately, and go back!" As soon as the attendant walked out of the woods, a group of women dressed as guards stood in front of them, holding sabers in their hands, pointing the point of the sword at the attendant, and surrounded them. The light almost made the attendant unsteady, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

  Looking at Eunuch Duan who had disappeared behind him, the attendant turned pale and said tremblingly, "Yes, yes. Eunuch Duan asked the servant to bring him here. The servant did not, did not want to go to the prison..."

   One of the leading guards said contemptuously, "Eunuch Duan? Why don't you say it's His Majesty!" After finishing speaking, he snorted coldly and waved his hand behind him, "This person's whereabouts are secretive and his identity is unknown. Detain him!"

   "Yes!" The uniform voice and footsteps, one can tell that they have received excellent training.

  The attendant went limp, trembling with fright, wanting to argue, but unable to speak.

  Now the only one who can testify for him is Eunuch Duan, but Eunuch Duan has disappeared, and he is just an attendant. No matter how much he argues, he cannot change his current situation. Unless there are other people who come out to testify for him, and they are people of high status, but how can such a person testify for his little attendant.

  Let several guards grab his sleeves and drag him to the back.

  The attendant closed his eyes in despair, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

   "Wait a minute." A cold voice suddenly sounded out of place in this dark prison and woods.

  The guards pulling the sleeves of the attendants on both sides were stunned, and looked at the head guard with some hesitation.

  The chief guard nodded slightly, and the two immediately released the man from their hands, and retreated into the formation of the guards behind them.

  The attendant was a little dazed, thinking that Eunuch Duan was coming, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

  A man in flowing purple clothes slowly walked out of the woods. Under the sunlight, his purple clothes actually reflected a faint golden luster.

The man had a handsome face like Apollo's that turned all sentient beings upside down, and there was no wave in the ancient well, and there was an aura of not getting close to strangers all over his body, and the icy coldness in his eyes showed that the master was not amiable, but extremely dangerous .

  Wearing a luxurious purple dress, the man's nobility is undoubtedly displayed, and the man's tall figure is set off to be extraordinary.

  The man is not as slender and weak as other men, but strong and tall, like a woman, and his skin is not as fair as other men, but has a bronze luster.

Seeing the man approaching, the guards lowered their eyes slightly, concealing the disgust in their eyes, and lamented in their hearts: This Qin Guijun is really ugly, no wonder His Majesty never favored/lucky him, he looks like this, just Even they can't bear to look directly at them, let alone His Majesty who has three thousand beauties in the harem! It has to be said that His Majesty has endured until now, which is very admirable. This Lord Qin Gui has a special status, otherwise, with His Majesty's character, he would have been thrown thousands of miles away.

  The head guard stepped forward lightly, bowed slightly and saluted, "I have seen Qin Guijun."

Even though the other guards are not willing to salute an ugly monster in their hearts, they still have to maintain a respectful look on their faces. Anyway, although this Qin Guijun is not favored/favored, his status is there. How can they be offended by a group of little guards.

   This counts as getting rid of the status of noble monarch, who is also the prince of the West Qin Kingdom. Although it is a gift from the defeat, it is still not something they can offend.

   "I have met Qin Guijun." The voice was uniform, without the slightest sloppiness.

   Seeing that none of them knelt down to salute, Qin Muyan's eyes twinkled slightly, and he said coldly. "Get up, everyone."

   "Thank you Guijun." Although he said so, his body was already straightened.

Seeing this, the attendants following Qin Muyan were extremely angry. They all came from the West Qin Kingdom with His Highness. A few guards dare to do this, so how can their Highness survive in Beirong Kingdom in the future!

  It would have been shameful enough for His Highness to compete with a large group of men for the favor of a woman as a prince. Now that even these guards despise His Highness, how can His Highness, who has always been proud, bear it?

   "I don't know why Qin Guijun is here?" The head guard stepped forward and said respectfully.

Qin Muyan lowered his eyes and said coldly, "I just heard a voice here, so I came to have a look. Seeing that you are dragging this attendant down, and he said that he brought Eunuch Duan in, so I came over to ask for a moment of curiosity. "

"Qin Guijun doesn't know, this attendant's whereabouts are strange, and he said that he brought Eunuch Duan here, but there is no Eunuch Duan here, and Eunuch Duan also knows the location of the prison, so how could he be brought by an attendant? That's why the subordinates want to take it down first, and then slowly ask about its purpose."

The attendant turned pale, and ran to Qin Muyan in a hurry, grabbed the hem of his clothes and begged, "My lord, the servant was really brought by Eunuch Duan, but Eunuch Duan disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the servant didn't know Where did he go, the slave didn't lie, please help the slave, and intercede for the slave, the slave will be like a cow or a horse to repay your kindness." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed one after another.

Qin Muyan glanced at the attendant behind him, the attendant understood, stepped forward to help the attendant up, and reprimanded, "What are you kowtowing, your lord didn't say that you won't intercede, look at your kowtow, bleeding No, no scars will be left in the future."

  The attendant heard the words, and looked gratefully at the attendant in front of him and Qin Muyan behind the attendant, his eyes full of gratitude.

  Qin Muyan turned to look at the chief guard, "I wonder if I can spare this servant's negligence for my sake?" In one sentence, the servant's secretive whereabouts were mysterious and negligent.

The chief guard is in a dilemma. It stands to reason that this servant should be killed with a stick, but now that Qin Guijun has spoken, and this servant did not really break into the prison, it is really difficult to be charged with this crime. She does not want to let him go I can't just pull out the reason just now.

  Just as he was about to say yes, a voice suddenly came from the front, "Hey, Qin Guijun is actually here too! Why are you all joining in the fun today?"

  Everyone was astonished. Looking at the people who came, they saw a middle-aged man with a whisk in his hand leaning under a tree by the edge of the forest at some point, looking at everyone present with a smile that was not a smile.
