When Shi Qingxue heard what Mo Junyang said, she knew that no matter what choice she made, the other party would be able to control it.
He nodded without hesitation.
Then he asked: "What is the other method?"
Mo Junyang casually threw the iron box to the ground, raised his hand to pull out the long sword from Wei Ziye's waist, and slashed it.
Shi Qingxue watched Mo Junyang's sword strike, and her eyes widened instantly.
It wasn't until there was a sound of metal colliding that Shi Qingxue came back to her senses.
Mo Junyang hacked the iron box.
While Shi Qing Xuesong sighed, countless big questions popped up in his head.
"What are you doing?" Shi Qingxue was shocked and angry.
She almost thought Mo Junyang was going to kill him with a sword just now.
Mo Junyang did not answer, but pointed to the iron box on the ground and said, "Look."
"What are you looking at?" Shi Qingxue asked subconsciously, her words paused, and her bright eyes widened again.
Mo Junyang's sword hit the iron box, but the iron box was not damaged at all and was still lying quietly on the ground.
Shi Qingxue looked at the sword in Mo Junyang's hand again and blurted out, "Is this a fake sword?"
Mo Junyang: "..."
Even Prince Mo had to admire Shi Qingxue's brilliant mind.
Wei Ziye explained at the right time: "Liu Niang, this is the genuine Black Iron Sword."
"Then what..."
Shi Qingxue picked up the small iron box curiously.
At first glance, it doesn't look like much, but even if you look at it more carefully, it's just an iron box with some weight. I didn't expect it to be so... strong
Even the iron sword can't do anything to it
"Is there any treasure hidden here?" Shi Qingxue held the iron box in both hands, held it to his ear, and shook it up and down.
There was no sound, and it felt like it was empty inside.
Shi Qingxue scratched his hair, not knowing what to do
"Jun Yang, we..."
She somewhat understood the meaning of Mo Junyang's action just now - first confirm the identity of the other party and then lend a helping hand, so that she would not fall into a passive situation no matter what.
But now it seems that before the girl wakes up, they will not be able to see the 'treasure' hidden in this iron box.
Then can they save this person
"If you want to save me, just bring him!"
Mo Junyang didn't even need Shi Qingxue to finish her words before he understood what she was thinking.
Shi Qingxue smiled sheepishly and hurriedly explained: "I was mainly thinking! This girl really doesn't look like a trap. In her current weak state, if we don't save her, she might die all of a sudden. Gone.
If she is really a good person, it would not be good for us to just die without saving her. What do you think? "
Qingxue felt that she could not act arbitrarily, so she finally asked in a tone that was not an inquiry.
Mo Junyang couldn't help but smile, the corners of his mouth raised.
He had no intention of rejecting Shi Qingxue, but when the other party said this, his mood soared.
He couldn't help but smile fondly, "Of course it's your decision."
Shi Qingxue pretended not to hear the teasing in the other party's words, and assumed that Mo Junyang also agreed with the proposal.
She began to urge Wei Ziye to hurry up and get him into the carriage, "Ziye, please."
Wei Ziye followed the instructions and picked him up, then frowned heavily.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Ziye quickly carried the person into the carriage, put his free hand to the girl's forehead, and said after a moment: "Liu Niang, this girl has a severe fever, I'm afraid she is about to die!"
"Then let's go to the city quickly! Go to the city to find a doctor for her." Shen Luo was not here, and none of them had medical skills, so they had to start again and rush to Jiangzhou City.
In the carriage, Shi Qingxue moved the person to the innermost position and lay down.
She didn't have much experience in taking care of people, and she didn't know how to take care of a patient with a high fever. She had no choice but to use a handkerchief dipped in some cold water to wipe the stains on the girl's face and hands, then simply cleaned it up and screwed it on again. Put a clean scarf on the girl's forehead to cool her down.
Mo Junyang held back his words at first, but seeing Shi Qingxue busy with a strange girl, he became unhappy.
He stretched out his big hand and took the person into his arms. Before Qingxue could protest, he said domineeringly: "She can't die, don't worry about her."
The man was much better than Shi Qingxue at this point. He could see the survival consciousness behind the girl's weak appearance at a glance.
Such a woman will not die easily.
It took them about half an hour to arrive at the outskirts of Jiangzhou City. Different from the deserted scene just now, the journey was unexpectedly lively.
Pedestrians carrying burdens and luggage came and went, some moving leisurely, some walking hastily, and it finally looked like a big town.
Shi Qingxue looked out of the car window and could already see the city gate in the distance.
The people entering the city lined up in a long queue at the city gate, taking up half of the road. It took a while to see this 'long queue' move forward, with difficulty.
When they were almost at the end of the line, they saw clearly that there were officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, questioning and checking people entering the city one by one. They didn't check their luggage or anything. It seemed they were just there to ask questions
"Eh? What's going on?" Shi Qingxue curiously opened the car curtain and poked her head out.
It stands to reason that with the prosperity of business in Da Mo in recent years, the previous entry and exit inspection system has long been cancelled, and generally there is no need for such strict inspections.
"Is this the first time you come back to Jiangzhou City? Jiangzhou City has been like this for almost two or three months." A passerby heard Shi Qingxue's doubts and chatted casually.
The speaker was a woman in her thirties, carrying a baggage in her hand and following the carriage to enter the city.
Shi Qingxue withdrew her gaze, immediately showed a sweet smile, and called: "Hello, aunt! What are you doing in the city?"
The woman was a talkative person and did not hide herself from others. She said as if she were talking to others: "Hey, my wife is not in good health recently and is lying in the house. The doctor in the village is not in the village for consultation. I can't go into the city right now." Can you get him some medicine?"
"Now that the interrogation is so strict, it will delay things a lot!" Shi Qingxue added.
The woman immediately responded in agreement: "Isn't it? In order to enter the city early, I went out in the dark early this morning. It took me almost an hour to get here. Seeing so many people now, I don't know when I can get in. Sigh."
An older woman who was queuing in front of us interrupted and said, "Auntie, don't worry, we are alone, the officials will let us go after just a few casual questions. It won't take long."
"Huh? So, do the officials need to distinguish between objects during inspection?" Shi Qingxue asked casually.
The old woman nodded and pointed forward, "Isn't that right? Look at the big carriage in front of you. It has been parked at the door for a quarter of an hour, right? That is the focus of the investigation."
As she said that, she looked back and forth at Shi Qingxue's equipment, and said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy for a lady like me to enter the city!" Shi Qingxue showed a panicked expression at the right time, anxious. Said: "What can we do! There are still people in the car waiting to go to the city to see a doctor!"
The old woman glanced at Qingxue again and smiled reassuringly: "You don't have to be too anxious. It doesn't mean you won't be able to get in."
Shi Qingxue's moist eyes seemed to light up instantly, "Auntie is so smart, she must have a way!"
The old woman was very pleased with the compliment, and she looked pleased with herself, "Auntie, I'll teach you! When the official comes to check on you, secretly give him some money, say a few soft words, and you'll be able to pass."
As soon as Shi Qingxue heard what the old woman said, she understood the trick.
However, she still showed surprise on her face at the right time, "Is this also possible?"
At this time, both women showed tacit smiles and said that Qingxue was young and had not seen the world.
"Officials are all like this. As the saying goes, money can make all the difference. If you can give them money, everything will be easier!"
"No, I have a cousin who is also a businessman. He wanted to go to the city to buy goods a few days ago. Two carriages bigger than yours rushed to the city. At first, they stopped him for interrogation. . After checking again and again, he was still not allowed in, saying that the city was under martial law. But he secretly stuffed two pieces of silver into each of the officials, checked them up and down, and went in. "
"But you have also encountered a good time. There was a plague in Jiangzhou City a few months ago. That was called martial law in the whole city. No one is allowed in or out! Now it is good to be able to open the door and let people in."
"So many people died in that great plague. Even if we were let in at that time, I'm afraid no one would dare to enter!"
"It's not..."
The two women started chatting, and the parents became agitated. After listening for a while, Shi Qingxue felt bored, so she took her head back and turned to look at Mo Junyang.
"Did you just hear that?"
Mo Junyang nodded and said, "Well, I'm afraid the people inside already know that we are coming."
The focused inspection of the carriage was not just for them.
"Don't let in... Are they being too overbearing? Are you afraid that they will accidentally block you out? Why don't you go back and sue them?" Shi Qingxue didn't know what the officials in Jiangzhou City were thinking.
Even if they were worried that the imperial envoy would enter the city quietly, they should still conduct secret inspections. Now if they do it in a big way, wouldn't they tell outsiders that they have something wrong in their minds
Mo Junyang sneered, "Maybe he is confident!"
"Huh?" Shi Qingxue didn't understand the twists and turns.
"There is a plague in Jiangzhou City and the whole city is under martial law. There is nothing wrong with it. Now the city gates are opened to let people in just to give us an explanation.
They don't let "suspicious" people in when they see them. This only shows that they are serious and responsible, and there is no other explanation. Besides, if we are stopped, we can show our identity and enter without really offending the imperial envoy. "
Shi Qingxue listened to the ins and outs of the officialdom for a while, and finally realized it.
It turns out that there is such a reason, but she thought it was too simple at first.
"So, they did so many things just to force us to reveal our identities?"
Mo Junyang nodded, glanced towards the city gate, and said softly: "Don't worry, let's take a look again!"
Shi Qingxue paused for a moment, then changed his mind. It would still be some time before they entered the city, so he turned back to look through his baggage.
She picked out a more delicate and gorgeous coat, put it on without avoiding Mo Junyang, and took out two headdresses to tie up her long hair.
While winking at Mo Junyang, he smiled and said, "Look at me later."
