Chapter 520: Silky Like a Painting
Chu Xiaomu let out a few long breaths, thinking that since things had come to this point, he could only deal with it as it came, and show them his real skills later.
He smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
There were a lot of footsteps, and it looked like there were about seven or eight people.
Not long after, there was a loud bang and the door was kicked open with force.
Several soldiers in bronze armor stood outside the house. The shop assistant stood aside with his head bowed, pointed at Chu Xiaomu and the other two, and said, "Sir, these are the three of them."
The leading soldier was a lieutenant. He walked in with a strange and malicious smile on his face. He said, "Well, the shop assistant said that you two men and one woman requested three rooms. How come you are squeezed into one room before dawn? It's almost summer. What's the matter? You three still feel cold and have to squeeze into one room to sleep?!"
In fact, it was already dawn, and the copper officer deliberately said some unpleasant words to disgust the three people.
Jinglan took a step forward and said, "Sir, this is our own private matter. I don't think there is such a law in Jinyang City that prohibits the three of us brothers and sisters from talking and chatting in the same room."
The copper officer snorted and said, "Of course you can talk and chat, but I think you three siblings don't look much alike. The little girl is very pretty, but why are you two so ugly? We need to check carefully whether you are siblings or not."
"We showed our official certificates when we crossed the Ten-Arch Bridge and the city gate. We have been checked several times in Jinyang City. How else do you want to check, sir?"
"Of course you need to verify your documents when you cross the bridge or pass through the city gate, but who doesn't know what kind of bastards those guarding the gate are? As long as you give them a few coins, they won't care whether your documents are real or fake. Some of them even get through without any documents!"
"If you want to verify the authenticity, that would be great." As he said that, he took out the three official certificates from his body.
The copper officer didn't even look at it, and cursed: "What a bullshit document, I don't care about it!" Then he scolded: "Let me ask you, who were the two who were shouting in the street yesterday, saying they were looking for our General Xuan?"
Chu Xiaomu thought that he had come here for this matter. Yesterday, Xiaoying and I asked everyone we met on the streets of Jinyang City. We really got ourselves into trouble. But you, Xuanying, are just a general in Jinyang City, not a supreme god. Are you not allowed to see me? Is it illegal to even ask about your residence?
Then he took a few steps forward, stopped in front of Jinglan, and said, "It's me. Excuse me, sir, is it illegal to ask about General Xuan's residence on the street?"
The copper officer said, "Who is General Xuan? Who are you? You people from the outer city are obsessed with finding out where he lives. You must have bad intentions!"
Chu Xiaomu said: "We know that General Xuan is a big shot in Jinyang City, but it is unreasonable to say that we have bad intentions after asking around!"
The bronze captain was very impatient and said, "There are so many unreasonable things in the world. Who the hell is going to take care of yours?" After that, he waved his hand behind him, and the bronze-armored soldiers outside the house stepped into the house to arrest people.
Chu Xiaomu was about to use his spiritual power when he heard a soft and fresh voice from behind the screen: "Captain Meng Tong, who asked you to arrest someone?"
Chu Xiaomu and the other two looked back and saw a bright and beautiful woman standing on the side of the screen, with long silky hair, curved eyebrows and eyes, staring at the copper officer surnamed Meng with anger on her face. It was the woman who came to assassinate Chu Xiaomu yesterday, and it was Granny Ma.
Chu Xiaomu, Jinglan and Xiaoying were puzzled for a moment. They didn't know how she turned into a beautiful girl again. The old look she had last night was gone at all. It was really unbelievable.
When Captain Meng Tong and several soldiers who had just entered the room saw the woman, they immediately became extremely respectful and saluted together, saying, "We didn't know Miss Sisi was here. We apologize for any offense. Please forgive us."
Sisi raised her eyebrows and said sternly, "I asked you who asked you to arrest someone. Are you deaf?!"
Meng Tongwei stammered, "It's... it's Zhao... Zhao Jinwei..."
Sisi snorted and said, "It really is that old fellow of Zhao Xiantong. He really did everything he could to curry favor with General Xuan!"
Chu Xiaomu heard the name "Zhao Xiantong" from the battalion commander Ma Yan when he was at Yixianya Pass, and Jinglan also briefly explained it on the way to Jinyang City. He knew that he was one of the four Jinweis in Jinyang City. Later, his senior brother Zhong Zhaokui died inexplicably, leaving only the three Jinweis, and Zhong Zhaokui's Jinyu Army was transferred to Xuanying. However, the day before yesterday, he learned that Jin Lier and Xuanying were going to use a martial arts competition to select another Jinwei, and soon Jinyang City will have four Jinweis again.
Meng Tongwei and the others, as well as the innkeeper, were so frightened when they heard him angrily scold the famous Zhao Jinwei of Jinyang City that they dared not say a word.
Sisi continued, "Go back and tell Zhao Jinwei that although General Xuan doesn't like being disturbed by others, he doesn't like his surname Zhao's tricks either. Tell him to put away his cunning thoughts and do more work for Jinyang City in the future. Don't try to figure out General Xuan's thoughts, or you'll end up doing a thankless job!"
Meng Tongwei and the others were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, and said tremblingly: "Yes... yes, I will obey... I will obey Miss Sisi's order."
Sisi's face turned serious and she said, "These three are my friends, and they are also General Xuan's friends. You people from the Golden Sword Sect should stop causing trouble for me, or I will kill you!"
Meng Tongwei lowered his head and kept saying, "Yes... yes..."
Sisi scolded: "Since you know it is, why don't you get out of here quickly?!"
Captain Meng Tong and several soldiers saluted Sisi again, then rushed out in a hurry.
The shop attendant, realizing that the situation was not right, prepared to flee in disgrace.
Sisi shouted, "Stop right there, kid!"
The waiter stood still, trembling uncontrollably. Finally, he turned around and stammered, "Miss...Miss...Miss, what do you want?"
Sisi said angrily: "What I despise most is your bullying attitude!" She walked up to the waiter and slapped him twice in the face, her moves were extremely fast.
The shop assistant covered his face and said, "I...I...know my mistake. From now on...I will never dare to...I will never say nonsense again..."
Sisi said, "Go tell your master that my friends will be staying here recently. If you want to collect the hotel fee, just tell them to come to General Xuan's mansion to find me!"
The shop assistant went there in a hurry, nodding and bowing as he walked, and said, "No, no, how dare we charge General Xuan's friends for accommodation?" But in his heart he was crying out in bad luck that he couldn't charge the three of them for accommodation. It seemed that most of his monthly salary would be deducted. You asked me to go to General Xuan's mansion to find you, but who the hell knows where General Xuan's mansion is?
