A fire caused people's emotions to fluctuate. Lin Yinan lowered his head and looked at the man in black who died next to him, with no expression on his face.
Chu Ziqian and Qing Yan came to Lin Yinan with expressions of embarrassment and said softly: "My subordinates are incompetent and failed to catch the assassin. Please punish me."
Lin Yinan glanced sideways at the blood stains on Chu Ziqian's body, then slowly said, "Are you injured?"
Chu Ziqian reluctantly nodded. The poison went away as quickly as it came. His body was paralyzed for a while and then became completely unresponsive.
Lin Yinan turned and left, leaving Chu Ziqian and Qing Yan standing there looking at each other.
"When will the emperor return?" Qing Yan asked Chu Ziqian in a low voice.
"I don't know when he came. How could I possibly know when he would go back?" Chu Ziqian frowned tightly. It took more than a day or two to get here from the capital. What was the reason for the emperor's sudden arrival?
And who can be the person in the palace who takes over the power in his place?
The questions in his head made Chu Ziqian want to sigh, and the fact that he was knocked down by the woman made him feel even more depressed.
"That's right." Qing Yan was following Lin Yinan's footsteps and walked forward. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chu Ziqian and said, "When I came out, Mr. Su took the responsibility and brought back some interesting news. He
Give reward."
"What do you mean?" Chu Ziqian asked through gritted teeth.
The "Eunuch Su" in Qingyan's mouth can only be one person, and that is Su Shi. Su Shi has stayed in the palace to accompany Lin Yinan all year round in the past two years. Because he has similar martial arts skills to Lin Yinan, he is the only one who can restrain him.
Only Su Shi was left. As time went by, Su Shi, who could not leave the palace, was nicknamed "father-in-law" by Chu Ziqian. Unexpectedly, the name gradually spread among everyone, so there was another gap between the two.
.
"It means that if I tell him that you were injured by a woman, I will get money." Qing Yan smiled and explained clearly.
Qing Yan is a very greedy person, and Chu Ziqian knows this all too well. After a brief silence, Chu Ziqian's suppressed voice sounded again, "How much did he promise to give you!"
Qing Yan raised her hand and stretched out a few fingers. Chu Ziqian said coldly: "How about I give you twice as much?"
"I just like Mr. Chu's cheerfulness." Qing Yan immediately ended the topic with a smile on her face, and the two of them walked back towards the direction where Lin Yinan disappeared.
Lu Zhiyao and the others set foot on the land of Qingming Kingdom again. She and Xuanyuan Junfan looked at each other after getting off the car, but neither said anything until they returned to the palace.
"You knew he was there, so you asked me to go?" Lu Zhiyao asked with a sneer.
"Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with us." Xuanyuan Junfan replied in a low voice.
Mo Xiaoying looked at the two of them in confusion, wondering what happened. After escaping from Yongcheng last night, she felt strange, but when she asked Xuanyuan Junfan, he didn't say anything, and Lu Zhiyao was alone again
She couldn't ask in the other carriage.
"What's going on?" She walked to Lu Zhiyao's side and asked softly.
Lu Zhiyao shook his head and walked towards Xuanyuan Haotian's palace. Bai Lichen and Yunfei led the carriage behind them. Before they even reached the place, they had already seen Xuanyuan Haotian.
Xuanyuan Haotian looked at the carriage behind him and asked, "Where did you come back from in this?"
"Yes." Xuanyuan Junfan replied, "The mission has been completed, but... there was a small mistake."
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Haotian's eyes fell on Lu Zhiyao, "It just so happens that I also got some news here and want to find you."
Xuanyuan Haotian's tone was sinister, which made Lu Zhiyao feel that there was nothing good going on. He followed Xuanyuan Junfan and left with Xuanyuan Haotian, while Mo Xiaoying went back to her dormitory first.
When they arrived at the study, Xuanyuan Haotian listened to Xuanyuan Junfan finish talking about what happened in Xia Lai Kingdom, including the appearance of Lin Yinan. He never said anything, just smiled meaningfully, and kept looking at Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao felt uncomfortable all over.
"Do you know what was burned last night?" Xuanyuan Haotian finally spoke and rushed directly to Lu Zhiyao. "I received news that the Xia Lai Kingdom had already put all the food on the day you arrived.
It was transferred away. After all the effort, it seems that it was just a show for him, Lin Yinan. How are you going to shoulder this responsibility?"
Lu Zhiyao's eyes trembled, he didn't expect things to develop like this.
"What does the emperor think this slave should bear?" Lu Zhiyao stood upright, his eyes looking straight at his. "The emperor only gave me three days, do you still expect me to help you pay for it?"
Will the Xia Lai Kingdom be defeated? My mission is to burn down the granary, and it does not include investigating whether the granary contains food. The emperor can punish him however he wants, and Qi Yao accepts the punishment."
Xuanyuan Haotian was unhappy, and Lu Zhiyao's mood wasn't much better either.
Xuanyuan Junfan stood aside and frowned. Who dared to speak in such an aggressive tone to the emperor? It seems that in the past few years, Lu Zhiyao has not only improved his martial arts, but also his temper. He sighed secretly and said:
"Your Majesty, the conditions in Yongcheng do not allow us to conduct more investigations. I will take charge of this matter, find a new grain storage area, and destroy it."
"Do you still have your business in the escort team now?" Xuanyuan Haotian glanced sideways at Xuanyuan Junfan, and then looked back at Lu Zhiyao. "How much time do you need from me to give you to complete this matter?
"
"It's fine as long as the emperor decides, and I will do my best."
Lu Zhiyao responded coldly. After coming out of the room, she immediately tore off the human skin mask on her face. After taking a deep breath, she took off the mask belt around her waist and prepared to return to the battlefield.
Xuanyuan Junfan pulled Lu Zhiyao's arm, causing her to stop and turn around to look at him.
"The Emperor will always be the Emperor."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me. Qi Yao will do her duty as a slave."
"If you continue to talk to the emperor like that, sooner or later you will regret it." Xuanyuan Junfan reluctantly advised: "Ziyao, four years have passed, haven't you accepted the reality?"
Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly and shook off his hand. "Your Majesty, I accepted the reality four years ago. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will complete the task as soon as possible."
After Lu Zhiyao said that, he strode away without looking back, taking away the things Xuanyuan Junfan bought with his money.
Xuanyuan Junfan looked at her back and sighed helplessly, then went back to study Xia Laiguo's intentions with Xuanyuan Haotian.
When Lu Zhiyao returned, Shen Xing and Yun Fei were already waiting for her. Seeing that she put on the strange mask again, they were both stunned.
Perhaps because of Xuanyuan Youran's relationship, Lu Zhiyao resisted the human skin mask from the bottom of his heart. He always felt that once he put it on, he would be able to show that face to others for the rest of his life, but he could not let others see her true face, so he just
It can be a foreign object in the eyes of others.
"Go and train." Lu Zhiyao said coldly as he passed by the two of them. He pulled the two cars to the training ground and threw them there. Lu Zhiyao jumped up and sat firmly on the rockery, half lying and half leaning on it.
Looking at the people below.
It turns out that they have really been separated for so long... Lu Zhiyao slowly closed his eyes and remembered Lin Yinan's appearance when he saw him in Yongcheng. No matter how much he heard, it would be better to take a look in person. It seemed that he really didn't
Problem.
"Who do you think you will face in the future? With this kind of strength, you are going to die?!"
Lu Zhiyao returned to reality after pondering for a moment. He glanced sharply at the people on the field. In an instant, she disappeared. The next second, she appeared behind someone. With just one kick, the person knelt down unbearably.
on the ground.
"It takes two hours to get on the stake. You are not allowed to come down before the time." Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and looked at the man and ordered coldly.
On the first day of formal training, Lu Zhiyao let everyone see her cold-blooded ruthlessness. But she didn't care, that's how she got here. Sometimes it's always good to suffer a little harder in the future. It's only for them to survive.
is the most important.
The two carriages were parked there. After dark, Lu Zhiyao ordered people to take the horses to the stables, but the two carriages of goodies were still there motionless, making people wonder what was inside.
In the dead of night, Lu Zhiyao was still the same as before. After exercising, he took a bath before going to bed and getting ready to rest. This position was built on a mountain. Who chose the address? Lu Zhiyao thought it was probably Liao Wuhen, nearby.
All the mountains are his territory, no one can come in without his permission.
War, thinking of these two words, Lu Zhiyao felt very depressed. War is never the best reason to make a country stronger. There have been constant wars between the two countries in the past few years, but it seems that there has not been any major war. Lin Yinan
Are you serious about coming forward in person?
Lu Zhiyao had no doubt that Lin Yinan had his own reasons for appearing there that day. This mission was personally assigned by Xuanyuan Haotian, and outsiders did not know about it. Moreover, even Lu Zhiyao only found out about it that day.
How could Lin Yinan in Xia Lai Kingdom get the news in advance? Grain transfer is very similar to his style.
At the border of Xia Lai Kingdom, Lin Mubai and Zi Ningshuang looked at Lin Yinan who came in person and felt a little emotional.
Is this day finally coming...?
They remembered what Lin Yinan said a few years ago when he decided to attack Qingming Kingdom. Many ministers opposed this decision because fighting would inevitably hurt the people and money. Some people knelt in front of the imperial study room every day and begged Lin Yinan to think twice.
Okay, but Lin Yinan only said one sentence.
He said that this was not a battle he wanted to fight, but a battle he had to fight.
The Qingming Kingdom sent spies into his country one after another to prepare for attacking his country. Riots often broke out across the country. After careful investigation, it was found that the reasons were all done by people from the Qingming Kingdom. Since
War must happen, why should he be the one who gets beaten?
Lin Mubai and Zi Ningshuang both understood Lin Yinan's mood. They had known Qingming Kingdom's ambitions for a long time. If they were not defeated by Xia Lai Kingdom and could no longer attack, Qingming Kingdom would never give up on swallowing Xia Lai Kingdom.
What Lai Guo was thinking was just that Lin Yinan's movements were a little too fast, so fast that he was caught off guard.
