Yu nodded: "I understand what you're thinking, boss, but I'm afraid Her Highness..."

  "What's wrong with her?" Lu Jinghang narrowed his phoenix eyes, "If she still dares to entangle herself with Jiang Xuanjin, I'll break her legs!"

  Today's Lu Zhanggui seems to be particularly irritable. Just Yu shook his head and sighed softly: "That's what they say, but if she gets stubborn, who can stop her?"

  Lu Jinghang thought for a moment and closed his eyes painfully: "This ancestor is really going to kill me!"

  "You go ahead and rest well." Wu Gong waved his hand and said, "The prince's side has us to take care of it, don't worry too much."

  He can't do anything even if he's worried now! The stitched wound on his body is still oozing blood, and he can't even sit up, so he can only sulk in silence.

  Li Huaiyu is perfect everywhere, but her eyesight for men is really bad. Among so many handsome men, she didn't take a fancy to any of them. Someone as elegant and refined as him, she also didn't take a fancy to. Instead, she took a fancy to that cold and expressionless Zi Yang Jun.

  To be honest, Lu Jing still doesn't understand what's good about Jiang Xuanjin except for his face. At first glance, he seems like someone who won't consider others' feelings. If it were him, how could he not even know that his own wife is pregnant?

  Jiang Xuanjin sat in the carriage, silently gazing at the tree trunks retreating outside the curtain.

  "It's all arranged." He rode back to the carriage and reported back, "In half an hour, people from the government office will go down the mountain to collect the bodies."

  The eunuchs who delivered the edict, along with the twenty guards escorting them, were all killed by the "mountain bandits" and never reached Hanshan Temple. In this way, it was as if Ziyang Jun had not disobeyed the edict.

  Jiang Xuanjin's thoughts returned, and he lightly tapped on the windowsill of a small window beside him: "Don't let the old master know."

  "I understand."

  The wheels were rolling very fast, the carriage was shaking violently, and after glancing at him several times, he finally couldn't help but say: "Master, what's the hurry?"

  Jiang Xuanjin said in a soft voice, "The sooner we arrive at Biancheng, the safer we will be."

  Is it for safety? Mr. Feng shook his head: "You... still miss your wife?"

  "No." Jiang Xuanjin replied curtly, "She wanted to leave on her own, what business is it of mine?"

  Been with the lady for half a year, nothing else learned, but the skill of lying without blushing has indeed increased a lot. Taking advantage of the emptiness to whisper, fearing that he would be angry and embarrassed, didn't say much, and thought about going back to see where other members of the Jiang family had gone.

  However, as soon as the horse's head turned around, a cold light flashed through the air, and the sharp whistling sound made people's scalp feel numb.

  "Be careful!" The coachman on the chariot shouted in a low voice and immediately pulled the reins.

  "Clang!" He leaned back on the horse's back, barely dodging the short arrow. His eyes suddenly became sharp and fierce, he drew out the long sword from his waist and looked towards the direction it came from.

  Deep in the forest, the wind stirs up a sea of leaves, and the cool air seeps into one's bones.

  The guards around them became alert, Yufeng got out of the carriage and held down the curtain, saying: "You are injured, don't come down."

  The emperor's reaction was faster than they thought, and the eunuchs who had been summoned did not return for two days. The assassins then followed one after another. Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes, twirled his fingers, and smiled quietly to himself.

  At the age of fifteen, Li Huailin was already so deep and profound, he truly had the makings of an emperor.

  Unfortunately, this time he, as a master, may not give in to his apprentice.

  In the cool and refreshing autumn wind, a bloody smell suddenly appeared. The Jiangfu carriage was surrounded by more and more assassins, the guards held knives beside the carriage, all ready to meet a bloody battle.

  Jiang Xuanyin lifted the car curtain and took a look, her mood suddenly not very good.

  This place is just like that patch of woods on the way to Baidi Temple.

  "Kill!" someone shouted loudly.

  Cheng Xiao and Yu Feng's eyes turned red as they stepped forward to confront the bandits. Knowing that their side had fewer people, they used moves that could kill with one strike, conserving energy and effort.

  However, the situation was chaotic and they were caught off guard. The two people who had always cooperated well with each other were separated by a large number of assassins on the opposite side, each falling into a different part of the crowd.

  "Block the wind!" Cheng Xiao furrowed his brow, watching as one side dodged the large knife swinging in front of him while looking back at the horse carriage.

  Someone broke through the guard line and approached the car, about to lift the curtain.

  The wind itself is hard to protect, blocking is not enough, can only loudly shout: "Protect your lord!"

  The assassin who lifted the curtain was overjoyed, the guards in front were all tied up, and as long as he made this one move to take Purple Sun's life, wouldn't promotion and wealth be within his grasp...

  "Bang!" The curtain opened and the person inside reacted extremely quickly, blocking his large knife, grabbing the door frame of the carriage, and kicking him off the carriage with one foot.

  The world spun around and the assassin fell to the ground, staring blankly at the person who came out of the car.

  Next to his ears were the miserable cries of slaughter and bloodshed, before his eyes was a rare clear moon and gentle breeze in the mortal world. This Zi Yang Jun was born with a really handsome appearance, standing tall and slender on the chariot shaft, even at times when life and death were at stake, he couldn't help but make people want to stop and take another look.

  What's that line from "Zi Yang Mei Ren Fu" again?

  Her anger is like a dragon emerging from the sea, and although she's frightening, her beauty is even more captivating.

  The assassin was stunned, the knife had somehow ended up in the other person's hand without him even realizing it. He could only blankly think to himself, "Is it a bit of a waste for someone like Zi Yang Jun to die?"

  Before I could think of a reason, my throat suddenly felt cool.

  Ruthlessly wiping the assassin's neck, Jiang Xuanjin drew his sword and looked towards Cheng Xiao, taking a step forward to meet him.

  "Are you okay?" Cheng Xiao jumped in fright, seeing that his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was both relieved and worried.

  Fortunately, the king who had truly made up his mind to kill them didn't need their protection and instead was able to protect them. But what's worrying is that he suddenly became so angry for no reason at all?

  He rarely takes the initiative to kill, and when he does, he always leaves a way out for others. However, at this moment, Jun's moves are more ruthless than theirs, with one knife sealing their throat, each strike precise and merciless, like Yanluo returning from the underworld, making people watch in horror.

  The assassin's blood splattered on his cheek, he frowned and thought of wiping it off with his sleeve, but looking at his own sleeves, for some reason he put them down again, abandoned the rolled blade knife, turned his head and seized the sword, shouting in a low voice: "Withdraw!"

  And what about further back? There are certainly no fewer assassins behind!

  "After some thought, he said: 'If you're worried about the safety of the people in Jiang's mansion, we can split our troops and take two routes. You go ahead and retreat, while we go to see Old Master Jiang and the others...'"

  He stopped mid-sentence and closed his mouth when he saw the look in your eyes.

  "Fall back!"

  This fight, neither side had the upper hand, but the best time for assassination was lost. Ziyang Jun not only couldn't kill them, but also risked losing his own life. Seeing that the situation wasn't in their favor, the assassins didn't plan to pursue further and retreated back into the forest one after another as they watched them fall back.

  The carriage behind was moving slowly, keeping a distance from them. Fortunately, there were enough guards, and when Jiang Xuanjin rushed over, both sides were stuck together, but the people in the carriage were well protected.

  "What's going on?" The old man was extremely puzzled, sitting in the car motionless, his expression tense.

  Jiang deepened his voice beside him, pursing his lips: "What Jiang Baishi said might be true. Your Majesty has been wanting to get rid of Third Brother for a long time. He will not have a good end when he returns to the capital after receiving the edict; but if he disobeys the edict, the entire Jiang Manor will also meet with disaster. It's truly leaving no room for survival."

  "Old Jiang frowned: "What are you talking nonsense about?""

  "It's not idle talk." Jiang Shen sighed, "It's a fact, otherwise why would you think that Third Brother, such a rule-abiding person, would do something so rebellious?"

  The old man looked bewildered, clearly not understanding, but Jiang Shen understood the meaning of Li Huaiyu's words before he left, and his heart was filled with emotion.

  Just as I was thinking about it, the car curtain was lifted by someone.

  "Father, Second Brother." Jiang Xuanjin said softly outside the carriage, "Hold on tight, we have a long way to go."

  The dark blue gown was splattered with bright red blood, and Old Man Jiang took one look and jumped in fright, asking urgently, "Are you hurt?"

  Jiang Xuanjin hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Someone else's."

  Realizing his reaction was excessive, the old man coughed lightly and grasped the dragon's head with a gloomy expression.

  This unfilial son, what's he worried about? Even if he dies, it's his fate!

  Jiang Xuanjin didn't expect to get an apology either, seeing that they were all unharmed, he put down the carriage curtain and got on his horse, leading his men in a charge out of the encirclement.

  The slaughter did not stop, and the corpses lying on the ground were both assassins and Jiangfu guards. However, fortunately, after half a time, all the carriages of the Jiangfu had left this forest.

  The sun rises, in the imperial court, Qi Han steps forward and reports: "Your Majesty, the previous emperor had an edict, ordering Prince Zi Yang to assist with governance in the capital. But now, Your Majesty has not followed the sacred edict, and instead took the entire Jiang Fu to Purple Sun. I think this action is truly suspicious of disloyalty."

  "Ziyang Jun returned to Ziyang, but did not report back to Your Majesty," said Liu Yunlie. "According to what I know, Jun Shang had meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, and Your Majesty even issued a decree to bestow marriage upon him, but it seems that Jun Shang has not received the decree."

  The words were spoken in a veiled manner, but everyone who heard them knew what they meant.

  Ziyang Jun disobeyed the imperial edict and took his whole family back to their fief, which clearly showed that he was defying the holy order and had ulterior motives!

  Li Huailian let out a long sigh: "Why did it have to be like this..."

  "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to present." Baide stepped forward again and cupped his hands, saying, "News has come from the capital's outskirts that two fights broke out at the foot of Linjiang Mountain. One was an encounter where the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict and twenty guards were all killed by mountain bandits. The other was a mysterious assassin who killed many Jiang Prefecture guards."

  The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict died at the foot of the mountain, and Zi Yang Jun never received the imperial edict, so it can't be considered as disobeying the edict. After being stabbed, the people from Jiang Fu didn't return to the capital, but instead went to Zi Yang. The reason for this is that people with a lot on their minds can understand it if they just think about it a little bit.

  This is not Prince Zi Yang's rebellion. I'm afraid he knows the assassin's route, so he doesn't dare to return to Kyoto.

  Of course, this was just an idea in the minds of the ministers and could not be spoken openly. So Qi Han and Liu Yunlie still had the upper hand: "When Jiang Fu was stabbed, how could Zi Yangjun leave Kyoto for Zi Yang without returning? What kind of reason is that?"

  "No matter what the reason is, it's a fact that you didn't return to Beijing, and this really disappoints Your Majesty's trust."

  Han Xiao and others left, Zi Yang Jun also left, the court was dominated by this party. Bai Dezhong knew that a single tongue could not compete with many mouths, so he also fell silent.

  Li Huailian naturally said, "Although you all suspect Ziyang Jun so much, I still trust him a bit more. To show my favor, this imperial edict of marriage will be issued again."

  "Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness have reached their utmost."

  "Your Majesty is magnanimous and generous!"

  Zi Han and Liu Yunlie both flattered in unison, but Bai Dezhong listened with a hint of disapproval.

  The emperor issued an edict twice, seemingly showing great favor, but in reality pushing Ziyang Jun to a dead end. Once he disobeys the edict, the emperor can then establish Ziyang Jun's name as a rebel and gather various princes and kings to attack him.

  What can be done about it?

  Li Huaiyu was drinking old chicken soup when she heard the news, Chi Jin's cooking skills were excellent, and the chicken soup was simmered to be both fragrant and rich. She reluctantly drank several mouthfuls before moving her mouth away: "What do you think Ziyang Jun will react?"

  "He has already come to Ziyang, so there's no reason for him to go back."

  "Can't go back, isn't that proving the name of rebellion?" Bai Xue shook her head, "After all, he is a Jiang family member, he wants to take a gamble, those people from the Jiang family won't agree either."

  "Can't you just die on your way back to Kyoto?" Qingxuan snorted with laughter, "That's truly a loyal joke."

  It's not that they don't know, in the eyes of the world, the Jiang family has always been seen as loyal to the point of foolishness. If something like this were to happen, everyone would think it's normal.

  Holding her chin with a jade pendant, she listened quietly, sipping chicken soup in small mouthfuls, watching them discuss what the Emperor would do after the Jiang family returned to the capital, before smiling and interrupting: "How long has Purple Sun been in the border city?"

  "Enough for one day."

  "What did he do?"

  "The people of Andong Prefecture are discussing matters with the governor of Biancheng County." Jiuzhong raised an eyebrow, "It seems that they have also prepared a lot of dry rations and travel expenses."

  It doesn't seem like they're going to Beijing to send themselves to death after all. Qingxuan let out a "hmm" and stroked his chin, saying: "Then are we in for a good show?"

  It seems like we have no choice but to fight.

  A bowl of chicken soup was finished, and Huaiyu wiped her mouth and said with a lowered gaze: "The Northern Wei is going to be in chaos, let's hurry back to our old nest, we only have a few more days of peaceful life."

  He nodded and frowned, "We don't have a horse carriage, all four city gates have wanted posters, Lu Zhanggui is also seriously injured and hasn't recovered yet, it's probably very difficult to leave now."

  Hua Yu asked: "Lu Jinghang's injury, didn't the doctor say he had to lie down?"

  "It is." Wu nodded, "So if he takes a bus out of town, maybe..."

  "Don't worry, I have a way!" Li Huaiyu patted his hand and stood up, "I'll make sure he leaves comfortably!"

  Everyone in the house looked at her with eyes full of admiration, truly worthy of being the clever and resourceful princess! She still had a way out even in such a predicament!

  However, after a while, there was an additional coffin in front of them.

  "How's that?" Li Huaiyu patted the coffin lid with satisfaction, "There's a quilt inside, warm and comfortable, guaranteed to let him leave the city lying down!"

  Everyone: "......"

  Suddenly, Wu felt that Lu's temper was really good. After all these years, he hadn't killed the young masters, which was truly benevolent.

  "Li Huaiyu, do you think I'm unable to move now, so I won't be able to hit you?" Lu Jinghang was furious, his hands shaking with rage. "I'm not dead yet, and you're already planning my funeral?!"

  Hua Yu tied a white cloth around her sleeve while comforting him, "It's not really a funeral procession, it's just an expedient measure! Who told you to get hurt so badly?"

  "You're all wanted, but I'm not!" Lu Jinghang gritted his teeth. "I can just leave the city myself, and we can regroup later if need be!"

  "What do you want to go out for?" Hua Yu raised an eyebrow, squatting beside the bed and gesturing with him. "If you don't lie in a coffin, you'll have to let two people carry you, right? Lu Zhanggui is such a suave person, being carried out of the city, doesn't it look good?"

  Lu Jinghang fell silent as he thought about that scene.

  A man may not be handsome, but he must have a strong presence! As the number one charming prince of Northern Wei, how can he show off this dying look in front of everyone?

  "Then just lie in the coffin." After thinking for a long time, he gave in, "You're well prepared."

  "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Hua Yu smiled and tugged at the white cloth on her sleeve. "We've all discussed it, you're a certain shopkeeper from south of the city, and they'll disguise themselves as funeral attendants, the procession is waiting outside, we can leave right away!"

  He glanced at her and asked, "What are you disguised as?"

  His late wife? Then he should change into mourning clothes, just this white dot on his sleeve...

  She scattered her own hair and tied a man's bun with the jade she was holding, securing it with a hair tie. In a rough tone, she replied, "Your dad."

  “……”

  Just as Wu and others were waiting outside the door to lift someone, they suddenly heard a loud shout from inside the house: "Li Huaiyu!"

  "Ah, ah." Dodging the pillow he threw with force, Huai Yu said with a smile, "A portrait of this face can be posted at the city gate, if it doesn't have a beard to pretend to be your father, how can you get away with it? Wow, don't get excited! If not as a father, then as an uncle is also okay..."

  Inside, the crashing and banging sounds were very intense. Just listening to it, he hesitated and turned his head to ask: "Should we go persuade him?"

  Everyone nodded in agreement, and the princess was still pregnant, so she couldn't be hurt no matter how foolish she was.

  Then, Li Huaiyu dodged and weaved, only to see the door suddenly pushed open. The four most intimate pimps of hers stepped across the threshold in unison, making a neat bow to Lu Jinghang: "Boss, calm down."

  "Look, they're still good to me!" Hiding behind the chair, Huaiyu was extremely moved.

  Lu Jingxing's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he half-supported his body and looked at them: "Why should I calm down?"

  The four looked at each other and replied in unison: "Accumulate virtue and do good deeds!"

  Li Huaiyu: "......"

  There's not even a hint of mourning in the courtyard, it's all noise and laughter, if you didn't know better, you'd think they were celebrating the New Year. Princess Dan Yang finally regained her former dignity, pounding on the table and shouting loudly: "I don't mind preparing a few more coffins for you all to lie down and leave!"

  Lu Jingxing sneered: "Just for her, prepare a room for her, she's not feeling well and should rest."

  "You dare!" Hua Yu pinched a handful of whiskers and stuck them to his face, "Later, I'll change into a white beard and pass myself off as your grandfather!"

  "You might as well dye your hair white together and just pretend I'm your ancestor." Lu Jinghang curled his lip.

  Yu and others lost their smiles, covering their mouths, not daring to let the lord detect, but Huai Yu's eyes were sharp, seeing it, she crossed her arms: "You are all in cahoots with each other!"

  The voice has seven parts of feigned anger and three parts of smiling intention, like a child who is playing and getting angry with someone, carefree and worry-free. It floats over the high walls and is rolled up to the sky by the autumn wind.

  Outside the wall, Jiang Xuanjin stood silently, listening to the voices inside, and smiled slightly with a hint of mockery.

  Everything was ready, and Huaiyu was also properly dressed. The crowd finally went out of the door, and the long funeral procession went straight to the West City Gate.

  "Don't worry, once we reach the city gate, I'll start crying." Huai Yu stood beside the coffin and said to Jiu Wu, "Generally speaking, people at the city gate won't block a funeral procession, but if he insists on blocking us, you should bribe him with money or talk him into letting us pass, and we'll be able to get out of here somehow."

  Yu nodded, and everyone else wasn't particularly tense, after all this method was rarely thought of by anyone, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

  However, when they reached the city gate, they were still blocked by people.

  "Sir, please be kind." Qing Xuan stepped forward, holding a package of silver and stuffing it into the man's hand. "My master is in a hurry to enter the ground, you're checking one by one, how much time will be delayed?"

  He weighed the silver twice, and the eyes of the gatekeeper lit up, he sidled over to let him through.

  "Halt." A general walked over beside him, looked at him and turned to Qing Xuan saying, "There are orders from above, all who enter or leave the city gate must be inspected."

  Shou Wei was taken aback and hastily threw the silver back into Qing Xuan's hands like a hot potato.

  Qingxuan was taken aback and turned his head to take a look.

  Isn't this too severe? I thought Ziyang Jun was going to clash with the Emperor, and the imperial edict from Ziyang's land wouldn't be obeyed. If they really investigate, they must want to identify a few people in the portraits.

  Hua Yu was pretending to cry, and upon seeing this, he walked up with a quivering gait and said in an old man's voice: "Aren't you people human? My son died so miserably, do you still want to interrogate?"

  Her face was pasted with a false beard, her complexion was waxen yellow, and she was bent and humpbacked, just like an old man.

  The general looked at her with a complex expression, just about to say something, when someone above his head snorted in laughter.

  The voice was so familiar that as soon as Li Huaiyu heard it, she stiffened all over.

  Qing Xuan raised her eyes and saw Jiang Xuanjin standing on the high city wall with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at a distant landscape. But his demeanor was oppressive, clearly indicating that he had discovered them, only not saying it outright.

  Can't walk anymore.

  She's being unreasonable and he's just letting her be. Why is he suddenly intervening?

  "It doesn't seem like a good day today." She turned her head and said, "Let's go back and keep vigil for the deceased again."

  It's better to leave quickly than to be exposed here on the spot.

  The funeral procession turned around and started walking back. However, after only two steps, someone followed from behind and gently pressed down on the coffin.

  "Isn't it time to hurry?" Jiang Xuanjin's face was full of ridicule. "Will I see you off on your way?"

  Yu and others subconsciously protected Huaiyu in front of them, Huaiyu's face turned black: "No need."

  "What? Not burying him?" His gaze fell on the coffin, Jiang Xuanjin said, "Isn't it time to rest in peace?"

  You should be resting in peace!

  Knowing he was intentionally picking a fight, Li Huaiyu didn't bother to pretend anymore and stood up straight, using her own voice: "Your Majesty doesn't think of ways to deal with the Emperor, yet you have time to come and make things difficult for me?"

  The general standing at the city gate looked over with a puzzled expression.

  Jiang Xuanjin gave him a glance, his eyes slightly darkening, and without explaining further, he simply said: "If you don't leave, then you'll have to go see Ben Jun."

  Are you still going there? What's the difference between entering a tiger's mouth and following sheep? Lu Jinghang, who was in the coffin, couldn't listen anymore and pushed hard against the coffin lid.

  Feeling something was off, Jiang Xuanjin reached out and pressed the lid down firmly.

  "Are you going or not?" He was getting impatient.

  This is Zi Yang's territory. He says to leave, but she refuses. Is it useful? Li Huaiyu hummed a smile and swept her sleeve with elegance: "Make way."

  She wanted to see what this person was going to do next anyway.

  The team saw movement again, and Jiang Xuanjin turned back to Cheng Xiao and said, "The one at the city gate."

  "I understand!" He nodded and turned around, heading back with his troops to the city gate. Upon arrival, he bowed to the general, "Sir, the governor has summoned you."

  Ziyang, under his name, although he had not been there in the future, Ziyang's affairs were reported by the prefects of various places every year and then disposed of. Therefore, when he came, the prefect of this city immediately surrendered and clearly stated that there were imperial spies in the city.

  Li Huaiyu made a big fuss about this, and his ears and eyes were directly exposed, so he was caught red-handed.

  Looking at her profile, Jiang Xuanjin pursed his lips. Most people probably thought it was him who had the funeral procession blocked, and they still looked somewhat annoyed.

  He didn't explain much, and it was good that there was a misunderstanding. If he said the city gate could be entered and exited at will, then she would have gone with Lu Jinghang and the others.

  Ziyang Jun's destination was the county governor's mansion, where a large courtyard was reserved for him alone. Li Huaiyu went in and pulled off the whiskers on his face, then let Zhuo and others pull out Lu Jinghang to get some fresh air.

  "What do you want to do?" Li Huaiyu asked straightforwardly.

  Jiang Xuanjin said: "Everyone can stay in Biancheng for a while, it doesn't matter."

  "What's wrong?" Huai Yu looked at him and asked, "Haven't you received the news from Kyoto?"

  The emperor really got into a dispute with him, is this city on this side a place where one can rest?

  He poured a cup of tea and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry."

  Who cares about him? Everyone is worried about their own life. Huai Yu wanted to say more, but looking at his back, she suddenly felt something was off: "Where's Yufeng?"

  In the past, Yu Feng and Chong Xu stood together, but on this journey from the city gate, why couldn't they see Yu Feng's shadow?

  "He's gone on an errand." The servant replied, "The lady can rest assured here."

  She looked at them with suspicion and doubt, stroking her chin thoughtfully.

  The emperor's edict was issued quickly, written and sealed by hand, and handed over to the newly appointed Hu Bao Zhong Lang Jiang, who led 200 guards to go to the Ziyang border town. The arrangement was very proper, with a martial artist proclaiming the edict, accompanied by neither too many nor too few guards, both majestic and intimidating.

  However, they did not expect that when this team of people was approaching Linjiang Mountain, they were ambushed, and more than 200 people escaped with only three or four people returning to the capital to report the disaster.

  "Attacked again?" Li Huailin's eyebrows were furrowed into a knot. "More than 200 elite guards, and they couldn't even resist?"

  "There are too many mountain bandits, and it's really impossible to escape." The wounded guard said weakly, "Please also send troops to collect the bodies of my brothers..."

  Li Huailian's face looked very unsightly. If these people had died within the Ziyang border, he would have still had a way to explain it, but how did they end up dying at the foot of Linjiang Mountain?

  It must be Zi Yang Jun who took action, he knew that no one else would dare to forge the imperial edict. But by doing so, he didn't leave any evidence behind, even if he went to the imperial court to accuse Zi Yang Jun of treason, no one would believe him.

  What a dumb loss!

  In a fit of rage, Li Huairan still did not believe in evil and sent several teams to issue the edict.

  However, whether it was a team of 300 or 500 people, they all went to Linjiang Mountain and never returned.

  The whole court was in an uproar, thinking that the mountain by the river must be a huge den of thieves. Otherwise, how could it be that no one could get through? For a moment, someone suggested sealing off the mountain by the river to reduce casualties. Others suggested sending troops to wipe out the den of thieves once and for all.

  Li Huailian sat on the dragon chair, grinding his teeth. What a den of thieves! If he really sent a large army over, they would definitely be empty-handed! Not to mention wasting military strength, but also being made fools of by others.

  Just as he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly fell on Bai Dezhong, who was standing quietly below.

  Li Huailian's eyes sparkled slightly as he suddenly asked: "Second Miss Bai, are you still unmarried?"

  Bai Dezhong was walking in a trance, startled by the sound, stepped forward and cupped his hands: "I am ashamed."

  Bai Xuanji is already nineteen years old, the Jiang family has never mentioned that marriage, and other families have not come to propose, so she can only stay in her boudoir.

  Li Huailian suddenly smiled and said: "Bai Daren has been loyal to the country for so many years, it's time to have some preferential treatment."

  Jing Wei said he would kill, what about the Bai family? Would he kill or not?

  Bai Dezhong stared back at the emperor's eyes and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

  The border town was calm and peaceful, without a glimpse of the imperial edict. Li Huaiyu and others were staying at the county governor's mansion, each with an unpleasant expression.

  "Are you out of your mind?" Lu Jinghang sat up straight in front of Jiang Xuanjin, his face sinking as he said, "We're not even on the same path, why must we be forced together?"

  Jiang Xuanjin slowly and carefully spread the map on the table: "Ben Jun is going to the main city of Zi Yang, you are going to Dan Yang, starting from Bian Cheng, all in one direction."

  How can we be on the same road again?

  Lu Jinghang narrowed his eyes: "You know I didn't mean it that way."

  One is the loyal and public-minded Prince Zi Yang, the other is the Long Princess who has been driven to desperation by the Emperor. Who knows when these two will cross swords again? What's the point of getting involved now?

  Jiang Xuanjin turned his head indifferently and looked out of the window at those people huddled together whispering to each other.

  Li Huaiyu and Qingxuan were crouched in a circle, their silhouettes looking thin and small, it was unclear what they were saying, when suddenly Qingxuan placed his hand on her shoulder.

  His eyes sank, and Jiang Xuanjin stood up.

  "What's going on?" Lu Jinghang followed his gaze and snorted, "They were already intimate, can you stop them?"

  Li Huaiyu's temperament is such that the more you stop her, the more energetic she becomes.

  Jiang Xuanjin didn't respond, and instead walked over to the floor vase in the room, extending his hand to push it.

  There was a loud crash as the fine porcelain fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

  The noise was too loud and startled everyone outside. Huai Yu stood up to look out the window, and Qing Xuan had no choice but to put down his hand.

  "What's going on?" she asked.

  "It doesn't matter." Jiang Xuanjin said indifferently, "I accidentally knocked over a bottle."

  Lu Jingxing was both angry and amused: "What kind of bottle is this? It's obviously a vat!"

  The one with vinegar!

  What's so strange about Jiang Xuanjin? He knows how to scheme against emperors and is a man who can do great things, but he was born in such a small matter, like a child king, making people laugh and cry.

  A man's possessiveness is truly something unrelated to emotions, and it's the most deeply rooted thing.

  Hua Yu gave Jiang Xuanjin a strange look, then looked at Lu Jinghang with an eerie expression, and after holding back for half a day, advised: "If you have something to say, say it properly, don't quarrel."

  Who had a fight? What's with this tone of advising young couples? Lu Jinghang rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly came to life. He beckoned her over, saying: "Come help me up."
