With the words of the master, the guards guarding the city no longer delayed, and immediately lowered the suspension bridge and opened the gate of the stronghold, letting them in.
Yan Jingxuan asked Shen Zhixu curiously: "What is your relationship with Miss Chen?"
Shen Zhixu coughed lightly and said, "I just met Miss Chen a few times when I came to Qingfeng Village before."
Yan Jingxuan clicked his tongue twice, and his tone was somewhat meaningful: "We have only met each other a few times, and people believe in you so much. It seems that Mr. Shen is quite charming."
Shen Zhixu's lips twitched, he glanced at Yan Jingxuan, and said modestly: "Your Majesty is joking. It's obvious that you are more charming."
Yan Jingxuan patted his shoulder and said, "The task of conquering Qingfeng Village depends on you."
Shen Zhixu: "..."
Why does he feel that Yan Jingxuan's words are uneasy and well-intentioned? Isn't this something that he, the king of a country, should worry about?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the cottage had been opened, and he saw Chen Zhendong, the third and fourth masters, and Chen Qingxue waiting in front of the door to welcome him.
Seeing Yan Jingxuan and the others come in, Chen Zhendong cupped his hands and said, "It's a great honor for our little Qingfeng Village to ask His Majesty to lead the expedition himself."
Yan Jingxuan said in a calm voice: "Your Qingfeng Village is small, but you are brave enough. You don't even kneel down to salute me when you see me. It shows that you don't take me seriously."
Chen Zhendong gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, we are from the countryside and do not understand the rules of the court."
Yan Jingxuan snorted and said, "Do you not understand or are you dissatisfied?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Qingxue hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, since we have surrendered, we will never have any inappropriate thoughts again.
Father, I definitely don’t mean any disrespect. It’s just that our brothers from Shanzhai are from the countryside and really don’t know any rules. I hope your majesty will understand.”
Yan Jingxuan smiled and said, "Ms. Chen's words are pleasing to the ear. I heard that Miss Chen and Shen Zhixu are old acquaintances.
Don’t worry, I will hand over the recruitment and security matters of Qingfeng Village to Shen Zhixu. If you have any requests, just ask him."
Chen Qingxue knew that this was Yan Jingxuan's sincerity, so she knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yan Jingxuan nodded and said, "Take us to Han Qiancheng's yard first."
Chen Qingxue made an invitation to lead the way and led them to Zhuyuan.
While walking on the road, Chen Qingxue couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "I wonder how Mr. Shen and Mr. Ye escaped?"
Shen Zhixu replied: "I just used the idea I gave you before."
Chen Qingxue was startled. She looked at Shen Zhixu in surprise and said, "Did you poison him? But he is so cautious, how could he fall into the trap?"
Ye Xiuchen sighed and said: "The hero is saddened by the beauty. He fell into the hands of Princess Qinghe."
Chen Qingxue became more and more confused: "Princess Qinghe? Isn't she dead?"
Shen Zhixu explained: "Princess Qinghe is not dead. She took the fake death medicine that day, but it was just used to confuse you.
Later, Han Qiancheng hid Princess Qinghe, which is why he often didn't show up."
Chen Qingxue's eyes widened with shock on her face, and she murmured: "So I blamed him wrongly?"
She always thought that Han Qiancheng was a cold-blooded and ruthless man who could even abandon the woman he loved.
But I didn't expect that Princess Qinghe was not dead, but was hidden by Han Qiancheng.
Shen Zhixu sneered: "You didn't blame him wrongly. It was not Han Qiancheng but Feng Changling who saved Princess Qinghe.
Han Qiancheng really wanted the life of Princess Qinghe, but he just took a gamble."
Chen Qingxue felt a little complicated when she heard this. She asked, "What about Princess Qinghe?"
