Since there were few people on the road, Li Xueyan rushed all the way back to the Chen Family Jiaozi Shop. When the waiter saw her leaving and returning, he looked puzzled, but he also hurried out to greet her - after all, he was his master's guest and could not be neglected.
Li Xueyan dismounted, threw the reins into her hands, and rushed into the backyard without looking back.
As soon as she entered the backyard, she saw Lingfeng sitting on the corridor, looking blankly at the gray sky.
Li Xueyan took three steps and two steps at a time, flew up and stood in front of Lingfeng, and waved her hand in front of his eyes.
Lingfeng only glanced at her faintly, and then moved his gaze to the sky.
The drizzle gradually stopped, but the sky was still as dark and dull as the human heart.
"Hey!" Li Xueyan jumped in front of him again and waved her hand: "Where is my fifth senior brother?"
"Didn't you go to Jinzhou early in the morning?" Lingfeng did not answer her words, but instead asked a question.
"Third Senior Brother asked me to stay." Li Xueyan raised her chin lightly.
Lingfeng sighed slightly and said: "Why are you staying here? You can't help me with anything. You might as well go to Jinzhou with your third senior brother."
"I'll stay and watch the excitement!" Li Xueyan said with curled lips. Of course, she refused to admit that she actually stayed because she was worried about Leng Changxi.
Hearing this, Lingfeng gave her a cold look and warned: "Shut your crow's mouth. She has always turned disaster into good fortune, and she will be fine this time."
"I said to watch the fun, but did I say that something was going to happen to her?" Li Xueyan glared at him: "You are too small-minded! Humph! You like her so much and you don't tell her, even if you have done everything you can.
, she doesn’t know either!”
"Don't meddle in your own business!" Lingfeng warned in a deep voice.
"How about I tell you when she comes out?" Li Xueyan stepped over the fence and sat side by side with Lingfeng on the corridor.
"No need! Don't be meddlesome!" Lingfeng became a little flustered when he heard what she said, and his displeasure became even more intense.
"Tch! If I didn't want to see her jokes, I wouldn't be too lazy to meddle in her own business!" Li Xueyan snorted with her nose.
Lingfeng didn't bother to pay attention to her words, so he simply closed his eyes and leaned aside.
"Hey!" Li Xueyan saw that he was ignoring her, so she pushed Lingfeng with her elbow: "It's so weird outside, why don't you go and take a look, why are you sitting here?"
"Abnormal?" Lingfeng opened his eyes in surprise when he heard this, and looked at Li Xueyan with raised eyebrows.
"Don't you know?" Li Xueyan raised her eyebrows.
"What's going on?" Lingfeng frowned and urged.
"Third Senior Brother and I were about to leave the city, but we found that there were no disguised pursuers in the city. Later we went to Prince Xi's Mansion and found that those who were guarding in the dark were also missing. Third Senior Brother felt something strange, so he
Let me stay...Hey, where are you going..."
Before Li Xueyan finished speaking, Lingfeng turned over and landed on the ground, running towards the street in a hurry.
She looked at Lingfeng's disappearing back and touched her nose. She felt depressed and couldn't find where to go for a moment. She originally went back to Chen's Jiaozi Shop to inform Chen Shaoxuan of something strange on the street, but Chen Shaoxuan didn't see it.
, now Lingfeng has also left, leaving her alone in the empty courtyard, not knowing what to do. At this moment, she suddenly felt a little redundant, and she felt melancholy in her heart.
"Xue Yan?" Chen Shaoxuan's surprised voice came from behind her, interrupting the melancholy that had just emerged in her heart.
"Fifth Senior Brother..." Li Xueyan quickly turned her head.
"Xue Yan, didn't you go to Jinzhou with your senior brother?" Chen Shaoxuan suddenly saw her in the backyard and frowned slightly. The first thing that came to his mind was that the troublemaker had escaped.
"Third Senior Brother asked me to stay and see if there is anything I can do to help. By the way, let me tell you that all the pursuing soldiers in the city have disappeared." Li Xueyan stood up from the corridor, walked to Chen Shaoxuan, and told what he had seen before.
Inform Chen Shaoxuan on the 510th day.
When Chen Shaoxuan heard that the pursuers had disappeared, instead of being happy, he seemed even more nervous. Because he was a little afraid that the sudden storm behind the tranquility would catch him off guard. The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are clear, so we must be careful everywhere.
"I will go and investigate this matter carefully. You stay here first and don't run around." Chen Shaoxuan gave her a few words in a hurry, then turned and walked out of the backyard.
When the news quickly reached King Xi's ears as if it had grown wings, King Xi was playing chess with Leng Changxi.
As the saying goes, there is no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace. King Xi sent someone to invite Leng Changxi into the study early this morning. In fact, it was more like chasing a duck to the shelf than inviting him. He even changed Leng Changxi into decent clothes.
There was no time, so he dragged her to the study.
On weekdays, she was used to being slovenly and dressed whatever was comfortable for her. Therefore, she threw all those complicated skirts aside and simply wore casual clothes. Therefore, when King Xi saw her, he couldn't help but
He frowned tightly.
"Miss Leng is really free and easy." King Xi said with sarcasm in his tone.
"Changxi came here urgently to see the prince." Leng Changxi smiled, emphasizing the word "urgent".
Immediately, King Xi understood. He glanced at the servant who brought her indifferently, and the servant suddenly shrank.
"My lord, there is no need to blame him. He also acted under orders." Although Leng Changxi's words were meant to excuse the servant, she actually accused King Xi of being the culprit.
King Xi naturally understood, so the smiling face he had been pretending suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"I heard that Miss Leng is a talented woman, how about playing chess with me?" Although King Xi's face was not good-looking, he still endured it in order to achieve his goal.
When Leng Changxi heard what King Xi said, she immediately understood: There is no good move in chess! But now she is a human being, a swordsman, and I am a fish and meat. They are already on the chopping board. She wants to struggle, but there is no way out, so she has to answer angrily.
.
However, in only a quarter of an hour, Leng Changxi was killed by King Xi three times in a row. The tragic situation of defeat made King Xi couldn't help but twitch his eyes - where did this woman get her name from?
"Miss Leng, how have you considered the matter that I mentioned to you last time?" King Xi asked calmly while placing the chess pieces effortlessly.
"What's the matter?" Leng Changxi bit her fingernails and focused on the chessboard, paying no attention to King Xi's words.
The corner of King Xi's mouth twitched: "Just tell Yuan'er about breaking off the engagement."
"Oh, um, let's wait until we see Brother Yuan before we think about it!" Leng Changxi waved her hand casually. As a delaying measure, she could only delay like this.
King Xi was obviously not satisfied with this answer. A look of cruelty suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes: "Miss Leng wants to see Yuan'er before she considers it. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to satisfy this king."
Leng Changxi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Just when she was about to find out what he meant, a servant quickly walked up to King Xi, leaned close to his ear, whispered a few words softly, and then left.
After King Xi waited for the people to go away, he gave Leng Changxi a meaningful look and said slowly: "All the pursuing troops have withdrawn."
