Chapter 23 Acting School
"good idea!"
Song Xuannian held a sharp knife, pressed it tightly against Jiang Jiang's throat, and forced her out of the inn step by step.
Jiang Jiang's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were full of fear and despair, but he dared not make a sound.
System: Excellent acting skills!
Song Xuannian exuded an aura of coldness and determination, and his eyes were as cold and ruthless as ice.
He gripped the knife tightly in his hand and threatened Jiang Jiang to follow him, completely ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him.
Jiang Jiang's body was shaking constantly, and she was dragged forward by Song Xuannian with staggering steps.
She tried to resist, but the sharp knife frightened her, so she could only follow Song Xuannian silently.
The street outside the inn was deserted, with only faint moonlight shining on the ground.
Song Xuannian took Jiang Jiang through the quiet alley and walked towards the distance.
Their figures gradually moved away and disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind a heart-pounding silence.
"You can go now," he said to her. "I'm sorry for holding you hostage."
Song Xuannian disappeared into the night. He held in his hand the bottle of medicine that Jiang Jiang had just stuffed into his hand. The bottle carried Jiang Jiang's warm body temperature, and Song Xuannian felt his palms a little hot.
After looking around, Jiang Jiang chose an intersection with a wide view and heavy traffic as his waiting place.
She sat down gently on a large rock by the roadside, leaning forward slightly, her hands folded on her knees, her eyes staring intently ahead.
As time passed, Jiang Jiang remained quiet and patient, without showing any sign of anxiety or impatience.
She knew that the coachman would find her as soon as possible because he was carrying the Queen Mother's decree to take her safely to the royal temple.
There are five imperial concubines appointed by the Empress Dowager, and with so many eyes watching them, no one would want anything to happen to Jiang Jiang.
The moonlight shone on Jiang Jiang, reflecting her determined yet slightly nervous expression.
The breeze ruffled her hair, but it couldn't calm her inner anxiety.
However, despite feeling uneasy, Jiang Jiang still tried to calm herself down and believed that everything would be fine.
Finally, a few familiar figures appeared in the distance, just what Jiang Jiang had been waiting for for a long time!
The public security detachment walked towards this side with vigorous steps.
The driver's face showed anxiety and concern.
Seeing Jiang Jiang sitting there safely, the driver breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked over to her.
"Miss, you scared me!"
The coachman led Jiang Jiang back to the inn, and the carriage had already been parked at the door.
"Miss, for safety's sake, let's move to another inn! This inn is not safe anymore."
"Yes." Jiang Jiang obediently let the driver lead her, holding the golden chrysanthemum and silver hairpin tightly in her arms.
[Host, in the chaos just now, the system received an outsider. ]
Jiang Jiang: Very good.
[Host, what do you want to change? ]
Jiang Jiang: Money! I want money! Change it all to money!
[…Exchange in progress]
What a magnificent, solemn and dignified royal temple!
Jiang Jiang looked at the royal temple and sighed heartfeltly.
From a distance, it looks like a shining pearl inlaid on the earth, emitting dazzling light.
When you enter the temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the majestic gate. The gate is dozens of feet high and several feet wide. It is engraved with exquisite patterns and mysterious symbols, showing endless majesty and solemnity. On both sides of the gate stands a pair of huge stone lions, which are lifelike and seem to come alive at any time.
When you enter the temple, you will see deep courtyards, towering ancient trees, and winding stone paths leading to various halls.
Along the way, you can see pavilions, towers, rockeries and ponds, which are scattered and beautiful. Every building is carved with beams and painted with exquisite craftsmanship, which is breathtaking.
If you walk further in, you can hear the melodious sound of bells, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.
The monks in the temple are either chanting scriptures or meditating, or busy with their daily affairs, creating a peaceful and harmonious scene.
The air is filled with a faint smell of incense, which makes people feel sacred and solemn.
