Forbidden City of Heze + Dalufei

The peace negotiations with Bangdu are about to start. As a member who organizes and participates in a series of important meetings, Junliu goes to Junlan before dawn every day, shuttling between various political institutions, and is often too busy to divide himself.Only in Xiaxi Garden after nightfall, he had the opportunity to invite guests from afar to have dinner together, temporarily put aside the heavy business affairs, and walked and chatted like an ordinary young man in the garden where the first shadow of the moon was reflected.The relationship between the two quickly became familiar, and Junliu couldn't get enough of Qiluo's childhood stories, which made him feel that he was still getting closer to each other, and that he would even meet again one day, seeing him as a child or as a grown-up.Many times, he was in a trance back to the time when he first met Zilo in the Royal Military Academy.Qi Zi's company seemed to be a kind of comfort, filling some of the regrets left in his heart after he left.Although at this time, Zi Luo's life is no longer continued by anyone's side, but it still feels that each other's memory has found the other half that can be proved.

Even though he was still unwilling in his heart, after staying away from the war, there was nothing to complain about in such days.Junliu gradually got used to this fulfilling and peaceful life, until one week before the official start of the negotiation, the malice of fate seemed to have been coveted for a long time, and an accident suddenly came.

That day, as soon as Junliu returned home, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right. A maid was sitting in the hallway crying, and several older servants beside her were trying to comfort her.Seeing the little master finally appeared, the weeping maid rushed forward and knelt on the ground, the panic that could not be calmed down in her voice.

"Your Highness, I got into trouble, please... please forgive me! Today we plan to go to the market in the city to buy daily necessities, because Miss Qi Zi said that she has not visited the capital since she came to Heze, and she also wants to go with us, so I took her with me! No... I didn't expect... Not long after we entered the city, there were a few people who looked like soldiers, who appeared from nowhere, suddenly came up and surrounded us...they...they With a gun, Miss Qi Zi was forcibly taken away! I shouted for help, but no one dared to come to help us!"

"Take it away?" Junliu was really taken aback, he immediately helped her up from the ground, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Who is so daring? Didn't you tell them that Qi Zi is a guest of Xia Xiyuan?"

"I... I said it, but the other party was very arrogant, saying that she was the one who was arrested, and that she was a traitor..." The young maid lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, and she whispered more and more, "They should not be soldiers from He Ze , the style of the uniform is different..."

A soldier who wasn't He Ze was able to run amok in the capital with a gun, Junliu already guessed a bit based on this.He asked a few more questions patiently, then asked the maid to go back to his room to rest, and he immediately contacted Xiao Yi, the head of the guard regiment responsible for the security of the royal family, and asked him to find out the reason of the matter immediately.

After waiting anxiously for half an hour, Xiao Yi called back.As he expected, the ones who took Qi Zi away were soldiers from the allied country Darufei. Like several other allied countries, they had long-term garrison bases in the capital county Lan, which was very close to the place where Qi Zi was taken away.

Junliu didn't care about the pile of errands that he had squeezed in his hands, so he immediately asked someone to prepare a car for Junlan, and went to Dalufei's garrison base to inquire about the crime.

"Your Highness, I'm really sorry for disturbing your lord. I only blame the idiots under me for being too hasty."

After several twists and turns, a chief of staff at the Darufi garrison base received the aggressive visitor. He calmly completed the courtesy greetings and let him sit in front of the sofa in the office. There is some misunderstanding, and I need to clarify with you."

Although the other party was polite on the face, it was a posture that he did not intend to admit his mistake at all.Although Junliu was not in the mood to listen to any sophistry from this disrespectful person, but considering the sensitivity of the military alliance, he sat down and reasoned patiently.

"Qi Zi immigrated to He Ze through legitimate channels. We have all the legal materials. You also know that she is a guest of my house. Why did you arrest her without saying hello? Although the Dalu Feijun is our ally, it does not mean You have any law enforcement powers on He Ze’s land, so it’s probably not a misunderstanding that can be explained clearly?” Junliu’s tone was not negotiable, “Anyway, please release her first. You have no right to restrict her freedom anymore. "

"Your Highness, we don't want to offend you, but please listen to me anyway. Although our behavior is a bit abrupt, it is well-founded. Qi Zi is not as innocent as you imagined. Of course, in the During the immigration review, we did not find anything wrong. But according to the facts we have recently, someone confessed that she committed serious theft when she was working at the military base in Darufi."

"What?" Junliu was caught off guard and was stunned on the spot.

"Of course, if it's just stealing bread, drinking water, etc., people in the slums have unclean hands and feet. This is what they often do, and we won't take it too seriously." The man's face unconsciously showed contempt, " But she also seems to have stolen a lot of ammunition, bullets, guns or grenades. What does a woman want these things for? If it’s just for money, the risk is too great. We seriously suspect that she belongs to an underground rebel organization Members, secretly sending resources and intelligence to the rebels in the central area. That's why the military has to intervene in this matter."

After the chief of staff finished speaking, he looked at him even more arrogantly, "Your Highness, I don't know how much you know about the alliance agreement between our two countries? If the criminals involved in harming the national interests fled to the other country— — No matter what method is used, the other country is obliged to extradite him, I remember correctly, right?"

Junliu broke into a cold sweat when he heard it, and immediately couldn't sit still.Why is he not clear about the "extradition agreement"?Using this clause, they were able to easily overturn Qi Zi's immigration rights and bring her back to Dalufei.According to Junliu's understanding of Dalufei, the suspects involved in this kind of accusation in that country, no matter whether they are convicted or not, will inevitably end up extremely miserable.

"However, before the facts are clear and the charges are not established, she is still not a criminal, isn't she?" Junliu clenched his fists. He is the only support for this woman in He Ze, and he must fight hard.

"Yes," the other party answered lightly, "so we will interrogate her during this period. If she confesses her crime and the confession is consistent with the information we have, we will file an extradition request."

no.Junliu took a deep breath and subconsciously denied this result.Dalufei's soldiers had no human rights in their minds at all, so they handed Qi Zi over to these warriors, and I don't know what they would do.

Never back down here!But what to do?What reason can deter this plausible guy?Jun Liu racked his brains thinking.In order to force himself to calm down, he slowed down and took a sip of the tea on the table, but it caused a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Your Highness, I advise you not to bother yourself in this muddy water. You have more important things to worry about. Go back and rest earlier." The chief of staff saw his embarrassment, and persuaded him leisurely, "We are only on business. It's a public office, just to deal with your own family affairs, but after all, leaving a strange woman with unclean hands and feet and having an affair with terrorism at home will also endanger your safety, right?"

"Please speak with respect." A flash of light flashed in Junliu's mind, he simply turned his heart away, his tone suddenly became tough, and he stared fearlessly into the other's eyes, "She is not a strange woman, Miss Qizi is mine. Lover, we have been dating for a long time, and we have made a marriage contract not long ago. I have no objection that you have to deal with your own family affairs, but since she is my woman, this matter must also be the family affairs of the Heze royal family, and we will not let our own Your family has been wronged for nothing, so don’t think about doing whatever you want!”

"This matter must be investigated in accordance with the rules and regulations of He Ze Law. The suspect cannot be imprisoned for more than 24 hours before conclusive evidence is provided, and there must be no violence to extract a confession. No action can be taken against her before she is convicted. Otherwise, I will definitely use legitimate channels to make your army have no place to stand here, please be mentally prepared!"

The proud chief of staff was stunned when he heard this, his face completely changed, he looked at the young man in front of him with his mouth half open, he, who didn't pay attention to him from the beginning, felt as uncomfortable as if he was accidentally fed a fly.

"Marriage?" He blurted out a little out of control, "Are you kidding me, you and her? Why haven't I heard of such a big thing?"

"It's just that we haven't waited for the right time to announce it to the public. We are already preparing for the press conference." Junliu said calmly, "We did encounter some resistance, so we didn't make it public. But even if we really love each other, I believe It will eventually be understood by everyone."

"When is the press conference?" The man's complexion darkened, but there was still a glimmer of pursuit in his eyes.

"After the peace negotiation launch ceremony in a week's time." He replied without any hesitation, "At that time, invitations will be sent to various dignitaries, and you are welcome to witness it with your own eyes."

The chief of staff was full of disbelief, and opened his mouth to criticize, but he couldn't find anything to say, so he could only stare at the other party.

This time it was Junliu's turn to be resolute. As a family member, he insisted on not leaving until the other party had to agree to release Qi Zi on bail, but he was released the next morning.The girl's expression was still calm, her clothes were neat, and she didn't seem to have been abused. Jun Liu was relieved and took her home, but he didn't know how to tell her about the marriage contract that fell out of thin air.

"Why...you didn't ask me anything about the crime of theft?" Two days later, during a dinner, Qi Zi finally couldn't help but take the initiative to bring this up.

"Would you like to tell me?" Junliu took a sip of blackberry wine calmly, smiled and replied, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, you have already drawn a clear line from that place in Dalufei, maybe you have some unbearable things there. memories, but now that it's all over, I have no interest in forcing you to confess to me."

"I want to save a sum of money for Xiao Luo." Qi Zi put down the tableware in her hand, the faint candlelight flickered in her eyes, as if it would shake at any moment, "The cost of living in the outer zone of Dalufei is very high, I heard that even if you can get the qualifications to enter, if the new immigrants do not have considerable funds to open up some necessary joints, it will be difficult to gain a foothold there. Maybe they will have no way to survive and will eventually be What happens when you get driven out."

"The alimony from the government is only enough to maintain my own life, and the wages of part-time workers are so pitiful that I can't save it at all. Therefore, when the contractor came to me privately and said that he could buy arms and weapons at a high price, I decided to take the risk It's gone." She buried her head and clenched her hands tightly together, "He said that things would be smuggled to sell on the black market, so I didn't ask any more questions. I wasn't the only one who did this at the time. I'm sorry you caused such trouble."

Junliu sighed, took off the napkin and stood up, walked to Qi Zi, put his hand on the woman's shoulder, and said gently, "For him, you have tried your best, haven't you?"

Qi Zi buried her head and did not speak, but a teardrop silently fell on Junliu's hand.

"It's God's arrangement that I can see you and take care of you instead of Xiaoluo." Junliu said from the bottom of his heart, took the woman's calloused hand and let it go In the position of own heart.He lightly rubbed the joints of her ring finger, and he simply made up his mind to provide them with a long-term shelter in the name of his family from now on.
