Concubine, don't flirt: His Royal Highness is hiding something

Lu Zhensheng was beaten to the point of blood, and was carried out of the palace by the guards. After the incident, no one in the Qin Tianjian dared to stand up and bring up the matter in front of Nangong Yan.

The drought in the western border is still spreading.

Yu Qiqi has been paying attention to the voices outside, but Zhaoniang told her that since Lu Jinsheng was injured, there have been no more rumors in the court.

"But the people of Yanjing will blame me and the child in my belly, won't they?" She leaned on the recliner, lowered her head and stroked her swollen belly.

She was only five months pregnant, and the child was only five months old, so she was entangled in so many rumors, and she felt sorry for him.

"Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian always only speaks according to the celestial phenomenon, but sometimes the celestial phenomenon is wrong, so you can't believe everything they say." Zhao Niang wrapped the thin blanket around her body tightly, comforting her.

"The queen mother will try her best to protect you." Yu Qiqi lowered her eyes, which were covered with a layer of determination.

At this moment, Ah Jian ran in from the outside and said out of breath, "Princess, the son, he is married..."

As she spoke, she handed over the letter from Yan Shiqing.

Seeing the regret on her face, Yu Qiqi frowned, and hurriedly took his handwritten letter from her, which said that he married Lin Chaoge three days ago, but he knew that Yu Qiqi was pregnant She was pregnant and it was inconvenient to go back to Nanzhao, so she didn't inform her in advance.

In Ah Jian's hand, she still held the wedding candy he sent to her.

"Brother Qing returned to Nanzhao and got married to Miss Lin, so I feel relieved." She had been worried about his whereabouts before, so she sent A Jian outside to keep an eye out.

"That's what the princess said." Ah Jian sighed, although she felt a little regretful, but when she thought that Yu Qiqi was also pregnant, she stopped thinking about it.

She stared at the handwriting on the letter, pondered for a while, stood up and went back to the inner hall, and wrote a reply letter. Then, she took out a pair of Fuwa that her father had given her from the drawer and handed them to her together. Handed it to A Jian, "Go and help me send the things to Brother Qing."

"Um!"

A Jian put away Fuwa and the letter, and hurried out.

It was already three days later when Yan Shiqing received Yu Qiqi's reply letter and Fuwa. At that time, he was drinking tea with Ning Shenyuan in the backyard.

Apart from Yu Qiqi in Yanjing City, his only friend was Ning Shenyuan. On the day of his marriage, he rushed over specially, so he stayed in the palace for a few more days, as if he came to play.

After Qing Yu gave him the things, he stood aside.

Yan Shiqing opened the mahogany box, inside was a pair of blessing dolls and a letter, and what Yu Qiqi said on it were all words of blessing to him and Lin Chaoge.

After he finished reading, the sockets of his eyes became wet unconsciously.

Ning Shenyuan frowned, "Now that you have your own wife, you should let it go." He comforted him.

"Put things away." He put away Fuwa and the reply letter, and asked Qing Yu to take them back.

"Brother Ning, don't worry, I won't be as obsessed as before." Yan Shiqing raised his head and raised his eyebrows at him.

When Qing Yu was walking back with his things.When she ran into Lin Chaoge at the corner of the corridor, she stared blankly at the mahogany box in his hand, and asked, "What is this?"

Qing Yu took a step back hastily, with a little dodge in his eyes, "Reporting to Madam, it's a congratulatory gift from Empress Yanjing."

The smile on Lin Chaoge's face froze for a moment, and then he recovered, "Then you take it and put it away quickly." She knew all about Yan Shiqing's feelings for Yu Qiqi.

Hearing the voice, Yan Shiqing glanced back, seeing that she didn't make things difficult for Qing Yu, so she retracted her eyes.She walked up to the two of them, took from Su Xin the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she made herself, and put it in front of them, "You two just drink tea like this, it's too dry, I made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes , give it a try."

"Siblings are really dexterous."

Ning Shenyuan looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the stone table and praised it.

"Young Master Ning, try it quickly." In the past when they were in Yanjing, the two of them often met each other, and now she has become Yan Shiqing's wife.The two of them naturally became more acquainted.

Yan Shiqing took a piece, stuffed it into his hand, and joked, "Quickly shut your mouth."

He had no choice but to put away his smile and bury his head in eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table.

......

After Concubine Yi was captured by the King of West Chu, she had been staying in the desolate courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, and there were people serving her, but she didn't know what use she had for the King of West Chu, so she was just doing nothing like this every day to cross.

On this day, she was lying on the bench under the corridor as usual. Her body was tired and weak since she lived in this yard. She knew that it was the maid who served her who put medicine in the incense burner. , she didn't make things difficult for her, all this was just what the king of Xichu County ordered her to do, and she had no choice but to do it.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound from the corner of the yard, and her closed eyes immediately opened, and she saw the green pearl sneaking in.She stared, "What are you doing here? Get out quickly, if my father finds out, you will die!"

"Princess, the servant girl is here to rescue you!"

Her eyes were firm. When she went outside the water pavilion yesterday, she saw the king of Xichu insulting Wu Lian with her own eyes. If it wasn't for Concubine Yi, she would not have endured it so humbly.

Luzhu clenched her fists, and after she returned, she decided to rescue Concubine Yi from the Prince's Mansion. As long as she left the Prince's Mansion, her master would not have to suffer such insults.

"I can't go!" Concubine Yi, who was grabbed by her hands, struggled vigorously. He threatened her with Yan Shiqing. If she left, Yan Shiqing would be in danger!

"But if you don't leave, Master, she will endure those unsightly insults..." There was already a trace of pleading in Lu Zhu's words.

"Insult? What insult?" Concubine Yi never knew about these things. She only knew that Wu Lian had been working for King Xichu, and she was trained by him. It was only natural that she would do things for him.

"Does the Princess know how those scars on Master's face came from?" Luzhu let go of her hand, and asked tremblingly in front of her.

Concubine Yi settled down and stared at her tightly, "How did you come here?"

"That was all punished by the king of the county. If she disobeyed his order, he would ask her to add a scar on her face. The scars accumulated and became terrible scars. She dared not Show your true colors in front of people."

Luzhu, who never shed tears, has already burst into tears at this moment.

Concubine Yi opened her mouth, her palms became cold, and Wu Lian told her that the scars on her face were caused by going crazy while practicing.

But she didn't expect that it turned out to be the murderous hand of her father.

"If the princess can't get rid of the prince's control, Master will be insulted by the prince for the rest of his life." She gritted her teeth, and a burst of hatred welled up in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll go."

As she said, when she was about to stand up, her heels went limp, and she fell heavily onto the recliner. She frowned and looked at her in embarrassment, "But I've been poisoned now, and I'm afraid I can't escape from this county palace." ."

Luzhu took a closer look at the courtyard, maybe the King of Xichu had poisoned Concubine Yi, so there was no defensive force, she frowned, and said to her, "I'll carry you!"

She sneaked in while the king of Xichu County was in the palace to discuss matters with the ministers. Now, taking advantage of his absence, it is the best time to escape from the county palace!

Although Concubine Yi was in a difficult situation, she let her go, she couldn't do anything right now.

Lu Zhu picked her up from the recliner, jumped to the corner, and went straight out of the desolate courtyard where she was locked up. The maid who served her came back to fetch water, and saw that there was no one on the recliner, and the basin in her hand fell on the ground.

Hearing the sound coming from a distance, Concubine Yi leaned on her shoulder and hurriedly said: "Perhaps that maid found out that I had escaped."

At this moment, they had already turned around from the corridor, bypassing the corridor outside the yard where the most servants passed by. Luzhu desperately avoided the secret passages of the organs encountered along the way, and vowed to take her to escape the county palace.

The servant girl ran to inform the guards at the mansion, and released the news that Concubine Yi had escaped from the Prince's Mansion. For a while, the mansion became more guarded, and the sound of guarding footsteps came from behind.

Concubine Yi looked at the beads of sweat streaming down Luzhu's temples, and said with disappointment, "Why don't you put me down, there is no way to escape with just the strength of the two of us..."

She did not underestimate the fortification of King Xichu, but she did not expect that they would be discovered so quickly.

"No, I've come here, I won't leave you behind no matter what I say!" Lu Zhu had already made up her mind, even if she took this life today, she would admit it!

Concubine Yi bit her lip, and could only lie on her back and worry, the sound of chasing behind her was getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, someone in front blocked their way, on the corridor that was about to leave the mansion.

"Miss Luzhu, if you put the princess back, the prince may spare you." Hearing the sound, it was Qingfeng, another right-hand man of the prince of Xichu, who rushed over.

He has always been reticent to show himself in front of others, and did some shady things for him. After Chi Ying died, he appeared in front of him more often.

"Qingfeng, get out of the way!" Luzhu stared at him fiercely, her face was full of murderous intent, mixed with the continuous sweat.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air.

"You should know the fate of betraying the county king." Qingfeng looked at her coldly, there was no trace of pity in his eyes, only coldness and indifference.

"Whatever you say today, I won't keep the princess here!" Lu Zhu put Concubine Yi on the side of the pillar and asked her to sit against the pillar.

Afterwards, the sharp sword came out of its sheath, and she had already stabbed Qingfeng with the sword.

Qingfeng clenched the sword in his hand tightly, and the sword was well placed in the scabbard, and he only dodged slightly to avoid her attack.

She made a roundabout, and quickly passed several moves with him. When he fought back, he always blocked it with the scabbard, and he didn't even have the slightest intention to draw the sword.

"You don't draw your sword?!"

This is an insult to Luzhu.

The surroundings are already surrounded by guards who are chasing up.

The two faced each other, with a cold light in their eyes, he said coldly, "I don't need to deal with you."

Luzhu sneered, and the force of her palm was a little heavier, forcing him to retreat several steps.Concubine Yi was sitting on the ground, looking helplessly at Lu Zhu, who was sacrificing her life for her alone.

Suddenly, Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, and Luzhu was knocked down by her palm. She clutched her heart and spat out a big mouthful of blood.

"Green beads..."

Concubine Yi screamed hard.

Luzhu struggled to support her body, trying to pick up the sword on the ground and stand up again, but she couldn't stand up no matter what.Qingfeng walked towards her slowly, with cold eyes, "I said before, you will not end well if you betray the county king."

As soon as these words came out, his sword quickly rushed out of the scabbard, and slashed across her neck, and the warm blood sprayed onto Concubine Yi's face, "Ah!" She screamed involuntarily.

A strong smell of blood lingered on the tip of his nose.

With her hands slightly open, she watched Luzhu clutching her neck, struggled a bit, and then fell into a pool of blood, the blood on her neck was still flowing down.

When Wu Lian heard the news and arrived, the guards surrounding the mansion had already dispersed, and Concubine Yi was also brought back to that desolate courtyard by Qingfeng, only Luzhu was left lying on the ground alone.

She closed her eyes, her brows were still frowning, presumably because she was still unwilling before she died.

Wu Lian's eyes opened suddenly, and she ran towards Luzhu.The blood on the ground had dried up, and there were two whimpers from her hoarse throat, followed by intermittent low sobs.

"Why are you so stupid to do such a thing? Isn't the master's insult too small for him?" She hugged Lu Zhu in her arms and scolded her softly.

She was originally a descendant of the Yujian Sect, but after she rescued the king of Xichu County during the Xichu Rebellion, she inadvertently had a relationship with him. He told her that it was she who sneaked onto his bed in the middle of the night Come, he had a relationship with her in a daze without knowing it.

She later found out that he had drugged her tea, forcing her to have a relationship with him, and wanted to take the Yujian faction as her own, but she refused, but at that time, she found out that she was pregnant In the end, he could only accept his compromise and let the entire Yujian Sect disciples be used by him.

After she gave birth to Concubine Yi, he even threatened her with Concubine Yi's life.If she didn't obey his order, he would still beat her body with a long whip, but I don't know if he felt that using a long whip was boring, and then he used a dagger to scratch her face, making her face that was originally beautiful It abruptly changed into the terrifying appearance it is now.

The past events, scenes spread out in her mind, accompanied by the smell of blood in the air.

"Master Lian, General Qingfeng sent his subordinates to deal with Miss Luzhu's body." The voices of two guards came from beside him.

"roll!"

She growled.

The two guards were frightened and had to retreat.

She picked up Lu Zhu's body and left the county palace step by step.When she got to the door, the guard at the door didn't let go. She looked ahead coldly and said fiercely, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way."

The tone is not urgent, but it is full of fear.

Those guards looked at each other, and Zhuanjian retreated step by step.The cold county palace was getting farther and farther behind her.

The carriage of King Xichu just returned from the palace to the entrance of the mansion. He lifted the curtain and saw Wu Lian walking past him with Luzhu in his arms. , went to the mansion.

After being brought back to the yard by Qingfeng, Concubine Yi has been lying on the couch, the blood on her face was wiped off by the maid who served her, but her body was still trembling slightly.

Not long after, the King of Xichu County came to her side, squinting at her with his long and narrow eyes, "Stop messing with others in the future, otherwise, death will not be as simple as a green pearl."

"Could it be possible that the father will pay for the life of the master?" Concubine Yi tightly grasped the thin blanket covering her body, her eyes were cold.

"Look at your eyes, you didn't dare to look at me like this before." Duke Xichu clicked his tongue twice, before she was only afraid of him, how dare she stare at him like this now.

"In my father's eyes, are they really not important at all?!" She used to have a hard heart, and felt that human life could be trampled on at will, even if it was the people around her who did things for her, she would show no mercy.But after what happened today, Concubine Yi felt that.It turned out that losing a loyal person who did things for him would be so uncomfortable.

"They are just pawns in the king's hands. If they are useless, they can be thrown away at will, and so are you. Do you understand?"

He lowered his head, his face was full of coldness, without any warmth that a father should have.

"Okay, I understand." Concubine Yi nodded with tears in her eyes.

He gave her a hard look and left with a flick of his sleeves.She looked at his black python robe, and the only hope left in her heart disappeared bit by bit.

When he came out from Concubine Yi, he called Qingfeng, Chiying was dead, now he is the only one he can dispatch besides Wu Lian.

"The drought on the west border of Yanjing is severe. Tomorrow you will lead an army of [-] to attack the border to the west of Yanjing. I will lead an army of [-] to go straight to Yanjing City."

He went to the palace today to discuss with Emperor Xichu and other ministers about attacking Yanjing.Now that rumors are spreading in Yanjing, and there is a drought in the west, it is the time when Nangong Yan's head is too big, and the two sides can't take care of it. This is their best time.

Moreover, Shen Feihong was dead, and the only people he could dispatch were Gu Xia and Chu Peiyu, but he was not afraid of these two.

After he finished speaking, he handed over a soldier talisman, "Take this soldier talisman, and you will be able to dispatch the fifty thousand troops in my hand." Qingfeng has always been loyal to him, he can trust him, but Wu Lian may not be sure.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Qingfeng took the soldier talisman in his hand and left in a hurry from his room.

Three days later, Qingfeng set off from West Chu with an army of [-], and rushed all the way to the western border of Yanjing, and he reached the border.Without a trace of slack, he directly swung his sword to attack, breaking through Yanjing's weakest western boundary.

For a while, Yanjing was full of wailing, and people chatted about complaints.

The urgent reports piled up on Nangong Yan's desk one after another.He stared at the urgent report in front of him, with a smile on the corner of his lips, with a chill, "The king of Xichu County can't help but do it."

In his imperial study, there was still Liu Mo Nian standing there.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to lead the troops yourself?" He stared at him with worry on his brows. After all, Nangong Yan is the proud son of heaven. It is really unreasonable to lead troops to the expedition just after he ascended the throne. If there is any accident, the whole Yanjing will be over.

"Only if I personally lead the troops to recover the western border, the king of West Chu County will fall into the trap." Now the king of West Chu County's attack on Yanjing is just the first trap he has set, and the biggest trap.He hasn't jumped in yet.

"Sir, listen to the emperor." Seeing that his mind had been made up, Liu Mo Nian had no choice but to bow down and accept the order.

"Go and inform Uncle Huang, it's time for him to contribute again." He withdrew his eyes and gave Liu Mo Nian a rare gentle look.

"The minister obeys the order."

Liu Mo Nian bowed again and withdrew.

When he left the imperial study room, the sky was already covered with a layer of sunset glow, and the sky was full of green clouds, covering the entire Yanjing City. Although the sky was full of green clouds here, the western border was already covered with dark clouds.

"The king of Xichu County has made a move?"

Shen Feihong, who had been in a closed state all this time, when he heard that King Xichu had taken the bait, his eyes were shining brightly, and he wished he could rush out of the house that had trapped him for a long time.

"He sent Qingfeng to lead an army of [-] to attack the western border. At this moment, the people in Yanjing City are already complaining..."

Speaking of the latter, his eyes darkened.

"What did the emperor say?" Shen Feihong also became agitated. The western border was hit by drought, and those people were definitely unarmed.He can only be trampled by Xichu's army.

Just thinking about it made him sick.

"The emperor said, it's time for you to contribute again." Liu Mo Nian looked at him expectantly, and the dim light in his eyes disappeared.

"It seems that I can finally get rid of this dilapidated house." He was also very happy.

"Hey, I'm afraid we can't do it for the time being." Liu Mo Nian stopped him, "The emperor hasn't said when you will contribute. He just sent me to let you know that you can't leave here for the time being." He curled his lips.

"Ah, then my joy was in vain!"

Shen Feihong quit. He has been hiding here for more than a month. He originally thought that he would be able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering today.

"Don't worry too. Since the emperor has sent me to inform you, it will be a matter of time before you can go out. Don't worry, don't worry." At this moment, Liu Mo Nian could only try his best to stabilize his emotions. The one who can only talk about it.

"I can't sit still when I think of the people that Qingfeng led the army to wantonly trample on the western border!" His cheeks were trembling violently.

Hearing this, Liu Mo Nian hurriedly explained, "Didn't the emperor ask you to go to the western border to contribute. As for what you are asked to do, I don't know yet."

"It's not going to the western border, so who will go this time? Gu Xia?" He stared blankly at Liu Mo Nian, and he was the only person Nangong Yan could dispatch.

"Gu Xia is the commander, and he wants to maintain the law and order of Yanjing City, how can he leave?" Liu Mo Nian retorted angrily, with a little dodge in his eyes, not daring to look directly at him.

"Then who's going?" Shen Feihong tugged at his sleeve, causing him to shout impatiently, "Oh, you're too old to be passive."

Suddenly, Shen Feihong's expression changed, he grabbed him and asked, "The emperor leads the troops personally?"

Liu Mo Nian lowered his head, neither saying yes nor no.

"Oh, how can the emperor go? Why don't you persuade him?!" He pulled Liu Mo Nian and reprimanded him.

"Here, how can I persuade you? He is the king and I am the minister. Besides, it's not that you don't understand the emperor's temperament. It's useless for you and me to say a word about what he believes." Liu Mo Nian muttered dissatisfied. with.

Shen Feihong sighed twice in succession. What Liu Mo Nian said was true. Nan Gongyan was such a person. When he sent Shen Feihong to prison, even if Shen Feihong misunderstood him, he didn't want to reveal that it was his scheme.

"Don't worry, the emperor has his own considerations, otherwise, how could he easily lead the troops out." Liu Mo Nian slowly pulled back the sleeves that he held tightly.

"He has always been invincible." From Xue Jingcheng's case last time, he could see it.

"You can rest assured and wait for a while, maybe after the emperor goes out to conquer the western border, you will be able to escape from this house."

After Liu Mo Nian comforted him, the two of them sat for a while, and he also got up and went back.

Nangong Yan went straight to Fengluan Palace after dealing with the matters in the court hall. He was going to leave Yanjing City, and the most worrying thing about him was the pregnant Yu Qiqi.

Moreover, during this period of time, there were more rumors in the city, and he couldn't stop them even if he wanted to.

In Fengluan Palace, Yu Qiqi had already rested after taking a bath. She was pregnant, so she always wanted to go to bed earlier.Seeing him coming in, Zhao Niang was about to salute, but he stopped him by waving his hands, so she had no choice but to keep quiet and backed out lightly.

Nangong Yan walked to her soft couch, slowly sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out her hand to caress her cheek, her breath was shallow, blowing over his knuckle fingers.

Perhaps smelling the fragrance of his body, Yu Qiqi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes, and with a low moan, she climbed onto his lap.He fell down on the pillow and asked him softly, "Why are you here?"

With so many things happening in Yanjing recently, he hadn't come to see her for a while, and she didn't dare to visit him in the imperial study.

She still remembered the bloody scene that happened outside the imperial study room last time, and she was afraid to see such a scene again.

"I'm done with the court affairs, so I came to see you. Did you wake me up?" Nangong Yan leaned against the edge of the bed, stroking her hair with the palm of her hand, circling it around.

"No." She shook her head, with a coquettish tone, before replying, "I was awakened by your scent."

Hearing this, Nangong Yan also chuckled softly, and she lay quietly on his knees with her eyes closed.In the bedroom, silence fell.

After a long time, Nangong Yan said: "Tomorrow, I will leave for the western border."

This sentence, like a thunder, woke Yu Qiqi up completely, "So fast?" She sat up and looked at him.

"Well, I will personally lead the troops. When the time comes, I will let Chu Peiyu stay in the palace to take care of you. If there is anything, you can send A Jian to inform him."

Chu Peiyu is the most trusted person around him, he believes that he can protect Yu Qiqi well.Inside and outside the palace, he is also full of hidden guards.

"But what about you?" She grabbed his sleeve with worry in her eyes.

"I'm not afraid, I still have soldiers to protect me." He lowered his head and comforted her softly.

"But you are the emperor of Yanjing, they will definitely stare at you, without a skilled person by your side, I'm afraid..."

Yu Qiqi held his sleeve hand tightly.

Nangong Yan's eyes were slightly jerky, this was the first time he felt so strongly that Yu Qiqi needed him, and needed him to stay by her side every step of the way.

"My skills are very good." He hid the astringency in his eyes and raised his eyebrows as he said.

"Anyway, you must come back safely. The child and I are waiting for you." She leaned into his arms, clinging tightly.

"Um."

Nangong Yan nodded and rubbed her arm.

When she fell asleep again, he let her back on the soft couch and covered her with a quilt, and then he left with peace of mind.

On the second day, all the ministers went to see Nangong Yan outside the palace. He was wearing a silver armor, holding the commander's sword, sitting on a red horse, and his whole body was full of majesty.

Yu Qiqi woke up early, Zhaoniang helped her get dressed, and after putting on the outer robe, A Jian took her to the palace gate and watched Nangong Yan lead the soldiers away.

Looking at the person sitting in the coach's seat, her body unconsciously moved forward with him. When he took a step, she followed him.

"Princess, don't go any further, be careful." A Jian could not stop Nangong Yan until she was out of sight.

Looking at the gradually shrinking figure, she moved her lips, but before she could speak, tears flowed down first.

"Princess. Don't worry."

Only then did Ah Jian realize that she had unconsciously needed Nangong Yan so much.

"A Jian, do you think the child in my womb was born when he came back?" She grabbed A Jian's wrist.

"The child in the princess' womb will definitely land safely, and we will wait for the emperor to come back together." A Jian supported Yu Qiqi and held her steady.

She nodded vigorously, with inexplicable emotions in her eyes.

After a long time, she returned to Fengluan Palace with A Jian's support.After Chu Peiyu went to find Liu Mo, he returned to the city gate and waited. After seeing the two of them coming down, he followed them up.

Nangong Yan ordered him to follow Yu Qiqi every step of the way.

The letter Liu Mo Nian got was given to Shen Feihong.

He immediately got up again and went to Shen Feihong's place.

Shen Feihong was leaning his ears against the wall in the house, listening to the shouts of the people outside. He heard that Nan Gongyan was rushing from Yanjing City to the western border with an army of [-]. He couldn't get out, so he had to listen inside the house against the wall.

He was taken aback when he heard the sound of the house door opening, and he was relieved only after seeing that it was Liu Mo.

"Look at your appearance." Liu Mo Nian insulted him.

"Then I can't go out, I can only eavesdrop here, what can I do." He muttered, walking from the wall to his side.

"Here, the emperor gave it to you."

Liu Mo Nian handed over the letter from Chu Peiyu.

Shen Feihong immediately took it over and couldn't wait to take it apart. Nangong Yan said in a letter that after he left Yanjing City, the king of Xichu County would definitely attack Yanjing City. He must go to Gu Xia and take away [-] troops from him. , Lay an ambush outside Yanjing City, and it must be airtight.

If the news reaches the King of West Chu, then everything will be in vain.

"It's such a big effort again."

After reading it, Shen Feihong froze for a moment, and the letter in his hand fell on the stone table.

Liu Mo Nian glanced at him, picked up the letter on the stone table, and looked at it carefully, "The emperor has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility." He said happily.

"Since you are so willing to do it, you can do this job." Shen Feihong teased him when he saw that he was standing and talking without pain in his back.

"Oh, don't I know those things on the battlefield? That's why the emperor entrusted you with such an important task."

He gave him a sympathetic look.

"The emperor brought 15 troops to the western border, but in Gu Xia's hands, there are only [-] troops left."

Shen Feihong estimated carefully.

He didn't know that the king of Xichu County would bring back troops, and he would also have reinforcements.Once the Western Chu Emperor allowed him to raise troops against Yanjing, there would definitely be a lot of reinforcements.

Their chances of winning are still very high.

"I'm afraid that everything will be different from what the emperor considers." Liu Mo Nian's eyes darkened.He was not afraid that the troops in Yanjing City would not be strong enough to resist the troops brought by the King of West Chu. What he was afraid of was that something might happen to Nangong Yan in the western border. I have already suffered a loss once, this time, it is really hard to say.

If the emperor dies, then their whole Yanjing will be cold.

"Did Chu Peiyu go with him?"

Suddenly, Shen Feihong asked Liu Mo Nian.

He was stunned, and recalled the direction Chu Peiyu went back just now, it seemed that he was going to the palace, not outside the city, "The emperor should have left him here to protect the empress."

Only then did Shen Feihong's face soften, "In this way, if the changes in Yanjing are not as expected by the emperor, we can still let Chu Peiyu report the news."

"But the empress is pregnant, if Chu Peiyu is not around her and something happens, be careful when he comes back to punish you!"

Liu Mo Nian scolded him.

"Don't worry, there are hidden guards." Shen Feihong still understands Nangong Yan's temperament. Even if Chu Peiyu is left behind, he must still have a plan.

"But you can't gamble on the safety of the empress." Liu Mo Nian thought about it, but still felt something was wrong.

"I will definitely not gamble on the safety of the empress." Shen Feihong assured him, after all, Yu Qiqi was pregnant with Nangong Yan's first child after she ascended the throne.

......

After Nangong Yan left Yanjing City, the news reached the ears of King Xichu County. He called Wu Lian over.

"Why, are you blaming me for a maid?" He was referring to Luzhu.

"My maid doesn't dare." She swallowed the bitterness in her throat.

"Don't dare to be the best. Nangong Yan left Yanjing City, you take your men to help Qingfeng, go there quietly, ambush in the dark, and take Nangong Yan's head as soon as you have the opportunity!" He narrowed his eyes There was a sly gleam in his eyes.

"Yes!"

Wu Lian clenched her fists.

"Yi'er is still in the county prince's mansion, I will send more people to guard her, you just go." Before she stepped back, he said quietly.

Wu Lian concealed the numbness on her face, and replied, "The maidservant has recorded it!" After that, she left slowly.

He was reminding her that even if he wasn't in the county palace, there were still people he had planted, and those people were all in the dark. If she dared to act recklessly, Concubine Yi would die.

She walked forward step by step, and the hatred in her heart deepened little by little.

When Nangong Yan went to the western border, he found that the situation in the west was worse than he imagined. As soon as he entered the western border, there were many homeless people waiting on the roadside. Seeing him coming with reinforcements, They didn't know that he was the emperor of Yanjing, so they rushed up one after another, trying to snatch their rations.

His eyes were full of astonishment. They obviously hadn't eaten for a long time, and the army rations followed behind, not in front of the army. But in this way, the victims of the disaster seriously hindered their way forward.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Lieutenant General Xue Yu asked him as he drove forward on his horse.They are disaster victims, and the soldiers dare not drive them away at will.

"The army transporting the rations behind will keep half of the rations to help the victims, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me to move forward!"

At this point, it was impossible for him to just leave these victims alone. When they first arrived at the western border, the military rations were enough for them to last for a while.

As soon as he heard the news that Yanjing's reinforcements had arrived, Qingfeng hurriedly prepared for the battle. Unlike Chiying, he would never have such arrogance like him.

Nangong Yan went to the western border city, which was already occupied by the army of Western Chu, and the city was taken away by them.

"Unexpectedly, the emperor of Yanjing personally led the troops out."

Qingfeng stood on top of the city with a cold expression, staring down at Nangong Yan below.Although he had never met him before, the King of Xichu County told him in the letter that this time Nangong Yan would personally lead the troops to the expedition, so he should not take it lightly and follow Chiying's old path.

"Are you afraid? If you are afraid, you should surrender quickly. If you voluntarily surrender now, I will spare your life." He should be the one who should be afraid, but Qingfeng didn't expect that his tone was so arrogant.

"Your Majesty, this city is not yours now. You attack and I defend, and the strength of the injured troops is already clear. How can you be so arrogant?"

What Nangong Yan said did not anger him.

"Since I lead the troops to go out in person, naturally I have to have some confidence, otherwise I will be underestimated by you." Seeing his lack of seriousness, Qingfeng wondered if he was here to fight, how did he look at it? It's like coming to every house.

"Don't dare, it's my honor to fight against the emperor." He was very cautious.

Suddenly, a soldier walked up to him and said in a low voice, "They have used half of the army rations to help the victims outside the city."

Qingfeng squinted his eyes, looked at Nangong Yan under the city, and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

As soon as he came, he took out half of the military rations to help the victims. Is he so confident?

"General Qingfeng, I just arrived today, I don't want to fight for too long, we can just make up our minds, how about it?" Nangong Yan sat on the red horse with a smile on his lips.

Qingfeng became more and more confused, is he discussing with him?

"Since the emperor is here, I will naturally do my best to be a landlord." Naturally, he would not agree to his request.Moreover, he has to strike first.

Then, he waved his hand, and the archers behind him immediately shot arrows down.

Nangong Yan sneered, drew out the sword in his hand, blocked the rain of arrows they shot, and shouted at him in his spare time, "General Qingfeng really doesn't cooperate!"

As soon as the rain of arrows came out, many soldiers who followed Nangong Yan fell, but he stopped as soon as he saw a good one. Their loss of troops was not heavy.

It's just that in this battle under the city, they fled in despair, and the news didn't sound good.
