On the fifth day after Wen Yi left, Wan Song intercepted a large number of broken soldiers who had escaped from Liangdu.
At the same time, Xu Yin began to pack his bags and prepare to return to Nanyuan.
Wei Jun asked: "Miss Third, can't we wait until the results of Liangdu come out?"
Xu Yin shook his head: "No wait, we don't have time."
Wei Jun was startled: "Why?"
"Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Xu Yin shook off the letter in his hand, "Father told me in the letter, didn't you pay attention?"
"..." Wei Jun wiped his sweat, but he had a lot of fantasies in his mind. He thought Nan Yuan was in trouble. It turned out to be such a small thing as celebrating the festival?
Being reminded by them, Yan Ji muttered: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival so soon? Master, what did you say before going out? It won't be long before we can go back. Can we make it in time now?"
Yan Ling glared at him: "Am I able to fly or something? Fly back to Tongyang in two days?"
Yan Ji chuckled: "Then there's nothing we can do. We can only ask Miss Xu San to take her in."
He winked, but Yan Ling didn't bother to pay attention to him. He threw the package on the horse and got ready to hit the road.
On the way back, everyone was in a happy mood and didn't feel rushed. We even arrived half a day early.
Seeing Xu Si standing at the door of the Governor's Mansion, Xu Yin jumped out of the car and shouted: "Sister!"
Xu Si caught her rushing body and almost lost his balance. He scolded: "You are such a big person, but you are still so reckless. Be careful, don't fall."
In front of her sister, Xu Yin was in a light mood and argued: "I won't fall down so easily, I'm so good!"
"Yes, yes! You are very powerful, let's go in first and then talk about it, okay?" Xu Si coaxed her sister indulgently.
"Okay! I must tell you carefully. It was thrilling when we were in Yongcheng..."
The two sisters entered the house chattering together, making Yan Ling a little envious.
They still have a good relationship as sisters. If it were his brother, I don't know how to train him.
Ji Jing, who was standing next to him, came up to him and saluted Yan Ling first: "Young Master Yan, you have had a hard journey."
Yan Ling waved her hand: "Mr. Ji, you're welcome. It's just a small matter."
"This is not a trivial matter." Ji Jing said sincerely, "We adults have read the letter sent back by Miss Third carefully. Second Young Master Yan has been a great help. Without your help, Wu Zijing would not have died so easily, and he would not be here now."
A great situation.”
Yan Ling was embarrassed by his praise, so she turned around and asked Yan Ji to bring something over, saying, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I bought a few cakes to coincide with the occasion. Please don't dislike it."
Ji Jing took a quick look and knew that the cake was bought at the gate of the city. He took it with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yan. However, you bought too much cake."
Yan Ling was stunned for a moment. This was a strange thing to say. The gift he gave was a bit shabby, but he was out of town, that is to say, why was Manager Ji so rude?
Immediately afterwards, I heard Ji Jing say: "The gifts for Duke Zhao have been delivered, and the person who sent them, Mr. Yan, will see him later."
Huh?
Before Yan Ling could understand, a shout came to his ears: "Yan Xiaoer!"
The master and servant both turned their heads at the same time and followed the sound.
But they saw a young gentleman standing on the steps of the hall, with his eyebrows flying sideways and a heroic figure, staring at them with bright eyes.
Yan Ling's eyes widened in surprise, and Yan Ji couldn't help shouting: "Young Master!"
Wei Jun looked over in surprise, what? This is the prince of Zhaoguo? He actually came to Nanyuan in person?
Yan Cheng, the eldest son of Duke Zhao, stepped down the steps and walked in front of them. He looked at Yan Ling and said, "You are really promising. You even learned how to run away from home!"
Yan Ling reacted and hugged him with surprise: "Brother! Why are you here? I miss you so much!"
Yan Cheng was hugged by him and felt uncomfortable all over. He couldn't be angry any longer. He could only push him away reluctantly and scolded: "How old are you? How can you move your hands and feet? Speak well!"
Yan Ling smiled playfully and still held on to him: "I miss you! Brother, why are you here? Is your family okay? Where are your father and mother? How are they?"
After he asked a series of questions, Yan Cheng originally wanted to scold him, but he was interrupted now and had to reply: "You have the nerve to say it! My father just said a few words to you, and he got angry and ran away from home.
If it weren't for you, who's celebrating the holiday, would I need to travel far away?"
Yan Ling said: "Where is the need for you to personally take action, brother? I will go back after finishing the matter."
"How dare you say that! My father was originally angry with you, but when he received the letter and heard that you were going to assassinate Wu Zijing, my mother fainted on the spot. In order to appease my mother, I even came out in person."
"Ah!" Yan Ling was extremely nervous, "Is mother okay?"
"It's just that I was so angry for a moment, it's okay." After comforting him, Yan Cheng looked over and said, "You know you are worried about your mother now, don't you know to make her less angry?"
Yan Ling was taught to lower her head and defended in a low voice: "I, I'm sure..."
"How dare you say that!" Yan Cheng was angry.
Yan Ling shut up.
After listening to the two brothers' bickering, Ji Jing chuckled and said, "Prince Yan, the second young master is so busy with his life, why don't we talk about it after we go in?"
Yan Cheng lowered his expression and nodded politely to him: "That's what Manager Ji said."
Then he turned to glare at Yan Ling: "I'll settle the score with you later!"
In the house, Xu Yin had already met his father and heard what they said about Yan Cheng coming to pick him up, so he was very curious.
The eldest son of Duke Zhao actually came to pick up Yan Ling in person. It doesn't look like the two brothers are in a bad relationship!
After a while, their brothers came in.
Xu Huan pointed and introduced: "Ayin, this is the prince of Zhaoguo."
Xu Yin stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Prince Yan."
Yan Cheng returned the gift: "Miss Xu San."
Seeing Xu Yin's appearance clearly, Yan Cheng couldn't help but praise in his heart.
He had already met Miss Xu San when he arrived in Nanyuan the day before yesterday. She was indeed an extremely beautiful woman. He thought that such an appearance would never happen again, but he didn't expect that this Miss Xu San was not inferior to her sister at all. The Xu family's twin sisters, indeed
Well-deserved reputation.
Of course, just being beautiful doesn't make him so cautious.
When he arrived in Nanyuan, he heard about what happened in Yongcheng.
He was not surprised that Wu Zijing was killed. Yan Cheng knew very well how capable his brother was. As long as he found an opportunity, Yan Ling could definitely succeed in the assassination.
However, he knew that Miss Xu San didn’t know! It’s a big deal to dare to take a few people to Yongcheng and serve as bait in person. Furthermore, the death of Wu Zijing can be regarded as the credit of Yan Ling, and the death of Lord Dehui
, that was Miss Xu San’s plan.
It is really respectable and terrifying for a little girl to dare to do such a thing.
Even he himself might not dare to do it.
With this in mind, Yan Cheng said again: "I have long admired your great name."
