Chapter 714 Southern Jin Assassin
After the Qianqiu Banquet, Liu Yunxiang pulled Pei Xuan aside.
"Did you receive the letter I sent you?"
Pei Xuan chuckled and said, "I got it."
"Then why didn't you reply to me and make me think that Leng Yuxie was unwilling to help me!" She was so anxious these days that she had already prepared for the worst and was really going to become a traitor!
Pei Xuan hurriedly said: "Don't blame me for this. If you want to blame, blame your sworn brother."
Liu Yunxiang pouted, "I let him take advantage."
"He said there is no rush. He will test the relationship between you and His Highness Seventh Prince first. If it can withstand the test, then he will take out this imperial edict. If it cannot withstand the test..."
Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "What if I can't bear it?"
Pei Xuan touched his nose and said, "I will snatch you to Beijin."
Liu Yunxiang snorted, "In any case, he is quite loyal."
"Princess Protector of the Country, having a place of residence is not just an empty title. This is a sign of loyalty."
"It's not necessary."
"Just go ahead. If one day you and His Highness Seventh Prince are kicked out of Da Rong, there will be somewhere to go."
Liu Yunxiang glared at Pei Xuan, "Can't you hope for something better?"
"How can I not wish you well? We are in the same boat, and what is good to you is what is good to me."
Liu Yunxiang nodded with satisfaction. It can be said that it is good for him and she is good. In her previous life, this businessman was the richest businessman in the entire continent. Climbing him in this life is like riding a smooth sailing boat. Her wealth is already growing rapidly.
accumulated.
"By the way, where's Sister Lan? Is she with you?"
Pei Xuan shook his head, "No, it's freezing and snowy, and it's not convenient for her."
Liu Yunxiang's face was filled with joy, "Sister Lan is happy?"
"Well, spring is about to give birth."
"Very good!"
Pei Xuan was a mother-in-law who had many things to do but loved her. After he married Lan Niang, he never messed with other women and only focused on her.
"I won't stay longer. I will return in two days. She is clumsy and confused all day long. She will not be able to take good care of herself without me."
Liu Yunxiang smiled and said: "Okay, when I have the opportunity, I will go visit her and the child."
"As for the princess of Changning, the emperor's intention is very clear. Although she comes to marry on behalf of Beijin, she can choose her own husband. Of course, as a princess, she is not as good as you, the eldest princess. If you ask her to choose someone, she has to listen.
."
"She can choose anyone, as long as it's not Yan Mu."
When the two of them finished speaking and returned to the banquet, they saw the emperor, full of anger, smashing the wine glass in his hand at the minister who was kneeling on the ground. The wine glass hit the minister's head quite accurately, and blood immediately came out.
"As the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, you have the important responsibility of protecting the capital. Now assassins from the Southern Jin Dynasty have sneaked into the capital, and you are completely unaware of it!"
This was the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. There was blood on his forehead. He had no time to wipe it off and replied: "I am negligent and I deserve death!"
"You do deserve to die!"
"Father, those assassins took advantage of the celebration of the Qianqiu Festival to sneak into the city disguised as jugglers. Although the camp on the outskirts of Beijing was responsible for dereliction of duty, it was difficult to prevent them. It is better to let Wan Tong take the lead and capture all the escaped assassins.
, and then deal with it." Yan Mu stepped forward and said.
Other ministers also expressed their opinions, hoping that the emperor would give Commander Wan another chance.
While the emperor was thinking about it, Qin Fei arrived. He seemed to have been through a fierce battle, with injuries on his face and body.
"Back to the Emperor, our five-city military division has captured a total of thirty-six assassins, killed thirty, and left six alive. Please make your decision, Your Majesty."
The assassins were all captured and the emperor nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.
"Have you inquired?"
"After asking, they are indeed from the Southern Jin Dynasty. This trip is... to assassinate the emperor!"
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but staggered, "Kill, kill them all! This is too much bullying. I, Darong, and he in the Southern Jin Dynasty have always been in harmony with each other, but they are so greedy for the hinterland of the Central Plains, so they are so arrogant and rude!"
The emperor paused for a moment, then looked at the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and Qin Fei who were kneeling below, and snorted coldly: "Thanks to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, they discovered something was wrong with this group of people in time, monitored them closely, and finally put them under control.
Catch them all in one sweep. The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division fulfilled their duties, and from now on the inner city will be handed over to the Wucheng Soldiers
Ma Si Guards, as for the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, they are probably used to being pampered and have slacked off. Let’s withdraw from the inner city first and train hard. Commander Wan, you are really old. I miss you after you have been in charge of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing for so many years.
Since you have never made any serious mistakes, I will allow you to resign and return to your hometown."
Commander Wan lowered his head and sighed, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that for the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, the veteran boldly recommends Chang Sheng, the deputy commander. He has been in the camp for many years and has always fulfilled his duties loyally, and the soldiers below also obey him.
"
The emperor waved his hand and said, "This matter will be discussed in court. Please step aside."
Commander Wan wanted to recommend Vice Commander Chang again, but the emperor frowned and turned around and left the banquet with a look of great annoyance.
After the banquet was over, Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu came out of Feifeng Palace and met Lu Changan at the gate of the palace.
Liu Yunxiang took two steps forward, smiled at Lu Changan and said, "Congratulations, Prince Lu."
Lu Changan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There's nothing to be happy about."
Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Prince Lu, Fei'er is a good girl. Even if you have other thoughts, please be nice to her and don't hurt her heart."
Lu Changan was slightly startled, feeling embarrassed as if he had been exposed in person, "Of course I... naturally I won't let her down."
It was a calculated marriage, and it was also a conspiracy. Sooner or later, it would be torn apart. If it had been anyone else, she would not have said these two words to Lu Changan, but it was Tuoba Feier, and she regretted it.
At the same time, he was also very angry with Lu Changan.
Perhaps sensing Liu Yunxiang's emotions, Lu Changan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "There are not many roads in front of me. This is the only one I can take."
"Yeah."
Lu Changan raised his head and smiled, "You may not understand it now, but you will in the future."
Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I won't do it in the future either."
Lu Changan was stunned. He had always thought that he and Liu Yunxiang would end up together by different paths, but her words pushed him far away.
At this time, Tuoba Feier ran over happily. She was still wearing the colorful Western Vietnamese clothes. There were pendants on the clothes, and she made jingling bells when she ran.
"Sister Liu, I told the Queen that I will live in your house these days. When the wedding date is set, I will marry from the palace to Prince Suping's house..."
Tuoba Feier said as she ran, and when she ran up to her, she saw Lu Changan. Thinking of what she just said, this careless girl actually blushed.
"Lu...Brother Lu, why are you here?"
Lu Changan smiled at Tuoba Fei'er, then saluted Liu Yunxiang, "I will trouble you to take care of the princess during this time."
Liu Yunxiang took Tuoba Feier's hand and said, "We are friends, Prince Lu, you're welcome."
Lu Changan glanced at Tuoba Feier again, then turned around and left the palace first.
Tuoba Fei'er kept looking at Lu Changan's back. When the back disappeared into the night, she turned around sadly.
Yan Mu stepped forward and patted her on the back of the head, "You're talking about Brother Lu, but don't you see you, Brother Yan?"
This time she was really exerting herself. Tuoba Feier rubbed the back of her head, and then jumped up and down in anger to scratch Yan Mu, but he blocked it easily.
