Ning Xiuyan went back to send a message to Ning Mansion, and Han Jian stayed to accompany Yang Xiuxiu. When Han Jian came out, Yang Xiuxiu was with her. After all, Han Jian was going to go to war the next day and had to stay for a meal before leaving. As soon as the few people sat down, a maid came in to report that the sedan chair in Ning Mansion had already stopped outside the door.

"Master, I'll go out to have a look. Master and the princess will stay for dinner." Ning Xiuyan stood up and said.

Han Jian smiled and said, "No need, just let the maid go out to welcome you. Have dinner together and go to the palace tonight to see if you have time."

Ning Xiuyan's expression was a little moved. She was already satisfied that Han Jian could stay for a meal. She nodded and asked the maid to go out to welcome the sedan chair and continued to stay for dinner with Han Jian.

There was still a little sadness during the meal. Yang Xiuxiu was nothing, but Ning Shun'er seemed very wronged. The little girl just understood the matter of bed and was a little greedy. Suddenly, Han Jian was about to go to war, so she was naturally reluctant to let go. Even if Ning Xiuyan was reluctant, she would not reveal it. As she was eating, the close maid next to Ning Xiuyan hurried in and said in Ning Xiuyan's ear. Ning Xiuyan frowned and said, "Master, look, are you going to get me wrong?"

The maid seemed to admit her mistake and lowered her head and said, "Go back to Madam, I'm already waiting in the hall, saying that she wants Madam to come here in person."

"Who?" Ning Xiuyan asked.

"I... I don't know you. The man didn't say who he was."

Ning Xiuyan looked at Han Jian and said, "Master, I'm afraid the person sent by my father is a little inexplicable, so I'd let him get up and see him."

"Okay." Han Jian nodded. He originally wanted to see what Ning Yuan was doing, but now he is accompanying Yang Xiuxiu and Ning Shun'er, so he has no intention.

Ning Xiuyan had just gone for a while and came back and said, "Master. I'm afraid I'm sorry to you. That man said he wanted to see his master, and it was his father's order."

Han Jian saw Ning Xiuyan's face was puzzled, and he felt a little puzzled. Even the woman Ning Yuan sent, Ning Xiuyan should not have such an expression. Unless the person who came was not the kind she welcomed. Han Jian thought again, even if Ning Yuan wanted to send someone over, he would not be sure that he would come over before going to war. His purpose was not so simple.

"You stay, Xiuyan, come with me to take a look."

Han Jian said, and got up and went to the side hall with Ning Xiuyan. Before he entered the door, he saw a woman in men's clothing facing away from the door, holding a folding fan in her hand. When he entered the door, the woman only showed a side slightly and could see the exquisite curves of her body. Han Jian did not get too close. Because he felt that the person was not good, this woman should have martial arts, and she intended to cover it up in front of him, which was like trying to cover it up.

"Master, this is this person." Ning Xiuyan broke the silence first.

The woman turned around and showed her beautiful face. She was not very beautiful, but she was a bit capable. She was also exhausted. She seemed to have not enough rest from afar. Han Jian was sure that he had never seen this woman before, but expected that she could come to see her through Ning Yuan's channel "just" through Ning Xiuyan. This woman was unusual.

"The young woman has seen His Highness the Eastern King." The woman saluted, but not in the usual way of saluting women, but closed the folding fan and held her fists to salute, looking like a man from the martial arts world.

Han Jian sneered slightly. This woman was brave enough to see him like this. Even though he knew that there were many accidents in Luoyang City, he dared to come out blatantly, as if he was about to take him. But he was sure that this woman could not make any trouble in front of him.

"Oh? What does the girl mean?" Han Jian didn't walk in. Before he could not figure out the other party's origin, he still had to be more careful. The guards didn't come in outside, and the disciples of Shangqing Palace who often walked with him on weekdays did not walk with him because he was a beauty. It's better to be careful in everything.

"The young lady was originally the acting master and asked Miss Ning to pass on a letter to the Dongwang. Unexpectedly, the young lady was there, so she should hand it over to the Dongwang himself." The woman said, taking out a letter from her arms, and there was no such handwriting on the envelope. Han Jian would not pick it up rashly, let alone open it. If someone wanted to hide a hidden weapon or poison powder, he would still be on guard.

"Master..." Ning Xiuyan was about to come forward to answer, but was stopped by Han Jian.

Han Jian pointed to the coffee table and said, "Just put it down!"

The woman smiled and put the letter on the coffee table with a confident look on her face. Then the woman saluted: "Men women dare not bother, so I will say goodbye!"

As he said that, he was going to the door in a big way. Han Jianxin said that this was really bad. He thought it was a market place, so he could just leave. Even if Ning Yuan recommended it, he was very worried about Ning Yuan now. The origin and purpose of this woman were a mystery. It would be better to stay and interrogate it directly.

Although the woman seemed casual while walking, she was actually guarding against being attacked by Han Jian, or she was waiting for Han Jian to take the initiative to counterattack. Han Jian did not do it himself. Before the woman could walk out of the door, she saw a team of guards who had already entered the yard. The woman frowned slightly, and seemed not very clear about why the guards suddenly came in. While she was hesitating, Han Jian said, "The girl is here, don't rush to leave."

The woman smiled and said, "Oh? Your Highness Dong Wang wants to keep the girl from the crowd?"

While speaking, the guards had already entered one after another and stepped forward to grab the woman. The woman surprisingly did not resist at all, but let the guards control her. Then the woman was tied up on the rope, but she still said with a smile on her face: "This seems not the way of treating guests by the Eastern King."

Ning Xiuyan was a little nervous. Why did she say that the person was introduced by her father? And through her relationship? Now Han Jian didn't even ask in detail, so he asked someone to take down the woman. She always felt that she had done something wrong.

Han Jian showed Ning Xiuyan a look that made her feel at ease before ordering: "Take me down!"

"Yes, young master!" The guard almost carried the woman out.

Han Jian was confused when he stepped down. He decided to come to Ning Xiuyan today. Even Ning Xiuyan himself would not know that he would come. If it was Ning Yuan or someone who guessed that he would come behind his back, then this person had a deep understanding of his temperament. He knew that he would not be willing to leave the woman around him before he went to war, and at least he had to meet him before he could arrange this? Han Jian always felt that he was not sure where he was right, or that only the letter with no reason could explain everything at the moment.

Han Jian pointed to the guards and asked the guards to open the letter. It was just an ordinary letter, and even the letter paper was very ordinary rice paper. The thin layer did not look special. Han Jian took a quick look and found that there was not much content listed above, and the person who wrote the letter did not tell his identity. However, he proposed the condition to exchange with Han Jian. The person who exchanged was Yang Qingle, who had been detained for a long time.

Han Jian couldn't help but think, was it someone sent by the Prince Yan Ning's faction sent to negotiate with him? Logically speaking, Prince Yan Ning's people should try their best to avoid having any contact with the people in the court, and would not take the initiative to exchange for anyone with him. The court itself is under his control. It is impossible for Prince Yan Ning to restore the throne and follow Yang Rui's route. He should be the first to overturn. How dare these people talk directly to him?

"Master, but did you do something wrong?" Ning Xiuyan said apologetically.

"It's okay. It has nothing to do with you." Han Jian smiled, "I'll be with you for a while, and I'll enter the palace. I'll try my best to come with you later."

Ning Xiuyan nodded obediently, and was very virtuous and accompanied Han Jian like a little wife.

It was already night when Han Jian entered the palace. He also took the letter to the palace and showed it to Yang Rui. Yang Rui was also puzzled and looked at the contents of the letter.

"This font is a bit familiar," Yang Rui said suddenly.

Han Jian narrowed his eyes. He heard that there seemed to be some other meaning in this, because there should be someone behind it, that is, his father Han Gui. After all, Han Gui is also his "love rival", at least from Yang Rui's perspective.

Yang Rui gave Han Jian a blank look and said, "Don't think too much. I think this font seems to be written by an old friend. This old friend once served as an official in the court. Later, he resigned and returned to his hometown, and then sent someone to search and never saw him again."

"Oh? Who?" Han Jian asked.

Yang Rui shook his head slightly and said, "It's insignificant. I originally thought he could be prosperous in the court, but later I found out that he had no ambition to compete in the officialdom. Maybe he thought I wouldn't become a wise ruler."

Han Jian thought for a moment. Yang Rui was in power for almost twenty years now. How could he count the number of ministers who resigned during the period? It was difficult to know who it was. Even if Yang Rui was really Han Gui and deliberately said that he was a resigned person, he could not tell.

Seeing Han Jian silent, Yang Rui put down his letter and said, "It's okay, can you take down the person who came to deliver the letter?"

"Yes." Han Jian nodded, "The person is being detained, and after a trial, it should be a result."

"I'm afraid it's not easy. Since you've been looking for someone to deliver the letter to you, you should have planned it a long time ago. The person who came to deliver the letter was just a scapegoat. It may be difficult to find out the person behind the scenes. At this time, you'd better not rush to go out and stay for a few more days."

Han Jian heard Yang Rui’s meaning, and wanted to take the opportunity to let him stay in Luoyang.

Thinking of the woman who came to deliver the letter, Han Jian felt that this was not just a scapegoat, but maybe it was a big fish.

"The plan to leave the city tomorrow remains unchanged, and I will not hand over the people to them." Han Jian said, "I have arranged everything I have to arrange now, and I will say goodbye today."

Yang Rui said a little dissatisfied: "Will you stay in the palace today?"

Han Jian knew that Yang Rui was pregnant and needed someone to take care of him, but Huier couldn't help her too much. He wanted Fa Yi or Yang Xiuxiu to enter the palace, but he knew that with Yang Rui's personality, even if he was more intimate with junior sisters like Fa Yi, he would not give Fa Yi a good face once he was not here. He didn't want to do such thankless things.

"If you don't keep too much, you will be in health. You won't have to send it tomorrow." Han Jian said, "If you have any questions, please communicate with each letter, and it will take only one or two days to go back and forth."

Yang Rui sighed, as if there was a lot to say but he didn't say it.

Han Jian went straight to the secret cell of the intelligence system after leaving the palace. He wanted to see where the mysterious woman who delivered the letter came from. When he arrived, Daxi Liu was also there. The person in charge of interrogating Daxi Liu. Judging from Daxi Liu's serious expression, she had not yet obtained any useful information.

"Young princess, that woman is very stubborn. Her subordinates have not received permission from the young master and have not been tortured. Is it a great punishment?" Daxiliu couldn't help asking for instructions when she saw Han Jian.

Han Jian didn't say much, and signaled that Daxi Liu lead the way to let him see the woman.

At this time, the woman was tied to the torture frame. Although there was no injury on her body, she could not bear it even if she was tied up for an hour, let alone still standing on tiptoe and body weight is maintained by the rope on her body. This is easy to be poor in blood, but the woman kept a smile on her face. It seemed that she had known that Han Jian would come a long time ago when she saw Han Jian.

When the woman saw Han Jian, she shouted coldly: "The East King's way of treating guests is too rude."

Han Jian didn't say much. Seeing the woman's unyielding appearance, he knew that the woman would not have expected that she would be punished.

"Talk straight, but someone sent you here, who was the one who sent you here...?" Han Jian asked directly.

The woman smiled and said, "The King of the East knows that it is asking? Since the King of the East detains the civilian girl without asking the reason and uses punishment, it is naturally to predict the origin of the civilian girl, otherwise it would not be like this. If the little woman makes a quibble, she will be disrespectful to the Lord, but the Lord wants to be polite to the King of the East, so as not to blame the King of the East in the future when he sees the King of the East."

Han Jian smiled and said, "Does that king thank the master behind you?"

The woman sneered, "It's not necessary to thank you. But the King of Dong should immediately release the civilian girl. The so-called two armies will not kill the envoys when they fight. Even if the King of Dong regards the civilian girl as a sinner or an enemy, he should not make things difficult for the little woman. Even if he wants to pursue the matter, why didn't the King of Dong attack Ning?"

Han Jian didn't expect that the woman would directly involve Ning Yuan. Ning Yuan himself sent the woman through his daughter's relationship. I believe Ning Yuan should have thought that as long as the letter was seen by him, the matter would definitely be exposed. Didn't Ning Yuan dig a hole and bury himself?

Han Jian said: "If the girl wants to leave, it will be not that easy. But I will not make things difficult for you. Since you are unwilling to reveal your identity, you should hand it over to the Ministry of Justice to deal with it. If someone comes, you will send the person to the Tingwei Mansion and let the people from the Tingwei Mansion interrogate."

After Han Jian finished speaking, the woman showed a very ugly face. She had been captured by the Dongwang, but she had reason to believe that she could escape freedom, but now Han Jian did not deal with her and handed it over to the Tingwei Mansion. Does that mean that Han Jian wanted to kill her with the Tingwei Mansion? Originally, it was very simple for Han Jian to kill her, so there was no need to use such a roundabout way to make it difficult for her, a little woman. But she also knew that Han Jian wanted the truth now. As long as she didn't tell her, Han Jian did not intend to make her feel better.
