The border between An Dynasty and Qiao Kingdom.

Duan Qingqian looked at the city gate in front of him and felt extremely warm. He was finally back in his own land. Everything he did on his own territory was much more convenient.

Duan Qingqian also heard some speculations about her identity along the way, but after all, it was Qiao Guo, and the affairs of An Dynasty had little to do with them. It was just a few people talking about it. But when she returned to An Dynasty, Duan Qingqian found that things were far more complicated than that.

It was much more lively than she imagined.

Duan Qingqian looked at the dense crowd of people under the city gate and asked.

"Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know."

"Look at their clothes, are they officials of the imperial court?"

"Exactly."

"Let's slow down, Shadow. You go to the front first to find out what's going on."

"yes."

Shadow dismounted and went to a crowded place behind him. He turned around and disappeared.

Duan Qingqian was walking slowly on his horse. This made the people at the city gate very anxious. They wanted to come up and give the horse a few whips. They came to the city at noon to wait for An Qinghuan, who was said to be a relative of the emperor.

The door was waiting, it was already dusk, and their stomachs were already growling with hunger.

In just half a cup of tea, the shadow has returned.

"how?"

"Court officials and squires are greeting the young master."

"Welcome me?"

"Yes."

Duan Qingqian muttered in her mind that An Yunmo would come and cause trouble for her, and let's see how she would fix him then.

"An Ye, you often follow the prince, do you know how to deal with officials eating, drinking and having fun?"

"ah?"

Duan Qingqian took out the folding fan from the bag and gave it to An Ye directly. An Ye didn't even react. Duan Qingqian had already driven his horse forward. An Ye and Yingying had no choice but to catch up.

The people waiting at the city gate saw Duan Qingqian and others approaching, and immediately stepped forward to greet them. The leading official did not know An Qinghuan, but he only found out the news that Mr. An Qinghuan had brought a pair of businessmen into the city from Qiao State, so

He came with the others.

The leading official saw Duan Qingqian walking in front and led everyone to salute Duan Qingqian.

"The lower official Chen Zhongpei led the squires to greet the young master respectfully."

After Chen Zhongpei and others finished saluting, Duan Qingqian smiled awkwardly.

"County Magistrate Chen, the man next to me is our young master."

After Duan Qingqian finished speaking, he moved away slightly. An Ye knew what Duan Qingqian meant, so he drove his horse forward with a serious look on his face and glanced at them sharply. Chen Zhongpei immediately led the people forward to salute, and An Ye responded lightly.

This is also thanks to Duan Qingqian not choosing the fabric of her clothes. The clothes she wears are made of the same material as An Ye, Ying Ying and others. An Ye also has the aura of a strong man, so Chen Zhongpei and the others are suppressed. Moreover, An Ye has the regent's fan on his body.

According to rumors, An Qinghuan is fair-looking and can hide in the dark for a long time at night. He is also a fair-looking person, so no one doubts An Qinghuan's authenticity.

"Mr. An, please come into the city and take a rest."

"Um."

The people surrounding the city gate dispersed with a roar.

Chen Zhongpei was only thinking about trying to please An Qinghuan, so he ran to the dark night to greet him.

"Master An, you have worked hard all the way. I will prepare some wine in the house to help you catch the wind and wash away the dust."

An Ye was thinking about whether he should go or not when Duan Qingqian opened his mouth and said.

"Sir, since Magistrate Chen has invited you, you can go and do other things that are small."

Chen Zhongpei saw that Duan Qingqian was not like an ordinary person. He was talking to Mr. An at this time. How dare he speak?

"I wonder who this is?"

"Nobody, just an ordinary accountant."

An Ye thought that the princess might have guessed this result, so she asked him to deal with it. Although she felt helpless, her face still had an aura of being inaccessible to strangers.

"Well, Ying, you help Mr. handle the matter. If you need anything, send someone to call me. You two, follow me."

The two guards who were named came forward respectfully and responded.

"Yes, sir."

An Ye understands what An Ye means. An Ye wants him to protect the princess. Originally, they both protected her together, but now he is the only one. No wonder An Ye is worried.

"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will definitely assist you."

An Ye then followed Chen Zhongpei and others to eat, drink and have fun.

Duan Qingqian didn't expect the people in An Dynasty to be so curious about An Qinghuan's identity. He had heard so many rumors just after entering the city. What would happen to An City?

Regardless of the rumors outside, Duan Qingqian secretly arranged her escape in An Dynasty according to her previous plan, and then changed her identity to go to Qiao Kingdom to look for medicine. Especially at this time, the poison in An Yunmo's body was unstable, and she needed Qizhen even more.

medicinal materials.

An Ye has his own mission. Only then did he realize that it was painful to deal with all this eating, drinking and having fun. Fortunately, Duan Qingqian just rested here for one night and set off tomorrow, otherwise he wouldn't be able to cope with it.

At night, he heard something moving outside in the dark night. He felt that the other party was coming for him. He immediately grabbed his sword and pretended to be asleep.

After a while, a man in black sneaked in and tiptoed towards the bed. When he was close to the bed, he suddenly pulled out a short knife and stabbed An Ye on the bed. An Ye was already on guard and turned around to avoid the assassination in the darkness.

He can't compare to the dark night.

After avoiding An Ye, he immediately stood up and counterattacked. The man in black did not expect that this man was so alert. He could not see clearly in the night, and his martial arts skills were not as good as An Ye's. However, after three moves, the man in black was defeated.

After five moves, he was caught by An Ye.

Ying Ying and Duan Qingqian's room was close to An Ye's room. When they heard something moving in An Ye's room, they both came here.

An Ye knelt down in front of Duan Qingqian.

"Are you here to kill Mr. An?"

The man in black stared.

"yes."

"Who ordered you to come?"

"I won't tell you, just give up."

The man in black was still angry. He didn't expect that An Qinghuan would have such a good martial artist beside him, which caused him to miss.

Duan Qingqian knew it without guessing, just those few.

"An Ye, since he won't say anything, let's deal with it."

The man in black didn't expect that the person in front of him would decide his life or death so quickly. Didn't he need to be tortured to extract a confession?

"You're going to kill me like this? You don't want to know who sent me?"

"Give you another chance, do you want to say it or not?"

The man in black looked at Duan Qingqian seriously and asked suddenly.

"Actually, you are An Qinghuan, right? I told you that you could let me go?"

"So what if it's me? Whether or not you let it go depends on your performance."

"you……"

If you don't say it is death, you may not live if you say it. It's really hard to choose.

The man in black was defeated by him in the end. He could see that Duan Qingqian was a person who kept his word. He did not say that the only thing left for him was death. He said that there was still a glimmer of hope for his life. He only hoped that his master would not blame him.

"Prince Kang sent me here."

"Prince Kang?"

"Believe it or not."

"Dark night, hand him over to Zhuangzi's people."

"Yes, sir."

In the dark night, he carried the man in black and disappeared into the night.

"Sir, we..."

"It's okay. Just be careful these two days."

"yes."

Duan Qingqian passed through the first border town and was greeted by Chen Zhongpei and others. Unexpectedly, it was the same when he passed through the second town. As usual, Mr. An Qinghuan once again accompanied them to eat, drink and have fun in the dark night.

Duan Qingqian couldn't understand whether An Qinghuan's identity really had such deep magic power? However, the rumors were also a bit outrageous. Where did she get the national jade seal in her hand? Some people said that he was the illegitimate son of the late emperor?
