Chapter 307 It's Weird Everywhere
Wei Linfeng nodded in agreement and said, "Nan Yan has ulterior motives, and she clearly wants to take advantage of the drought to sneak in. The students suspected that Nan Yan had planned it long ago. The food theft this time was probably also a plan of Nan Yan's emissary. Let my heavenly army mess up their own positions, and let them take advantage of the opportunity."

Ye Zhaoyan's heart trembled when she heard the words. She knew that Nanyan's military strength was comparable to Tianlu's. If Nanyan was really allowed to conquer Tianlu, Tianlu's situation would be in jeopardy.

Ye Wenxuan pondered for a moment, "Your guess is not impossible, but if Nanyan really uses the lack of food and grass to invade Tianlu, she should start the war before the spring plowing, and it is impossible to wait until autumn."

Wei Linfeng frowned and remained silent for a while, "Maybe he wanted to launch it before the winter snow came. When the winter snow fell, the river would freeze, and Nanyan's cavalry would not be able to cross the river. In that case, they would completely lose their advantage."

Marven Ye nodded, "It's not impossible."

He paused, turned around and walked out, asking Old Qi as he walked, "Has Your Majesty sent someone to invite you?"

There was trouble in the southwestern border, and the Emperor Donglin would inevitably summon his generals to discuss the state affairs, and Ye Wenxuan was the least of them.However, until now, there has been no news from the palace, so it can be seen that no one was notified.

Old Qi shook his head solemnly, "Never."

Ye Wenxuan pursed his lips, his eyes were gloomy, but he regained his composure in the blink of an eye.

He looked back at Ye Zhaoyan, and asked softly, "Zhaoyan, go and rest first."

"it is good".Ye Zhaoyan looked at the back of Ye Wenxuan leaving, feeling a little cold in his heart.

The words that Emperor Donglin said in the western suburbs seem to be still echoing in my ears——

"If you dare to miss a major event, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ye Zhaoyan closed his eyes, calmed his disordered breathing, and opened them with firm eyes.

Half a month later, Nanyan's offensive gradually subsided, and Tianlu's army still deployed defenses on the border.

Ye Zhaoyan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, a look of solemnity flashed across his eyes.

There is a strong enemy from the Beiyan confronting each other outside, and the court is under the turbulent tide inside. I don't know what kind of changes will happen to the Ye family in the precarious wind and rain.

A few days later, news came that Zhang Cheng repelled Nan Yan and led his troops back.

Donglin Emperor Dayue seemed to intend to sweep away the bad luck, and personally selected a few young masters for Kunyu as candidates in the aristocratic family, intending to use a happy event to dilute the atmosphere of decline.

This time, Princess Nanyue changed her previous self-willedness, nodded her head to save face, and promised to choose a son-in-law soon.

The news about the selection of son-in-law spreads in Jindu, but no one has seen the list with their own eyes.

Seeing that the marriage of Princess Nanyue was about to be finalized, there was an episode in the Zhuo Palace.

Princess Nanyue entertained everyone in Zhuo Wang's mansion to repay Zhuo Wang's hospitality during these days.

This was an unimportant and ordinary thing, but what surprised Ye Zhaoyan was that Ye's mansion received an invitation letter, which said Ye Zhaoyan's personal invitation.

The signature turned out to be Kun Yu.

Ye Zhaoyan felt weird, but because of Kunyu's status, she still accepted the invitation.

On this day, when Ye Zhaoyan entered Zhuo Wang's mansion, he found many luxurious carriages parked in front of Kunyu's mansion, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.

How could you invite so many honorable families just to thank the Zhuo Palace?

As soon as Ye Zhaoyan entered the table, she saw Zhuo Yibai, who was dressed in purple and extremely handsome, sitting under the high platform directly in front of her.

He sat upright like a pine, with a leisurely demeanor, and his every move carried an innate temperament.

Ye Zhaoyan was taken aback for a moment, and a strange emotion surged in his heart.

The seats under the high platform were all set up for the sons of King Zhuo's mansion and the nobles in the city, Zhuo Yibai chose the seat in front of her, did it on purpose or not?

Zhuo Yibai seemed to notice her gaze, turned his head, and met Ye Zhaoyan's gaze.

The four eyes meet.

The eyes of both of them were dazed, but Ye Zhaoyan's eyes showed a flash of astonishment, while Zhuo Yibai's eyes showed a touch of melancholy.

Ye Zhaoyan withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyelids, and concealed the emotion in his eyes without showing any trace.

She picked up the wine glass and took a sip, feeling in a daze.

In my mind, I couldn't help but recall that night when Xue Huaidan plotted against him, that seemingly cold and aloof young man.

In the deserted mountains, he was riding a black horse in front, holding a sword in his hand, and he was heroic.

At the beginning, she was just a little girl who threatened a young man with a knife in desperation. How could she know that the young man at that time was a prince of the royal family with profound martial arts skills and hidden secrets. Not only did she save herself from danger, but she also fulfilled many of her wishes.

Times have changed, and now the two are almost strangers.

There was a loud noise, and surrounded by many maids, Kunyu walked in elegantly in a pink gauze dress, her black and beautiful hair was coiled up high, with only a few hairpins and hair accessories inserted, like a hibiscus out of water, Beautiful.

The dress of the Nanyue princess seems to be simpler than in the past.

Feasting big but dressing up in a perfunctory manner?Ye Zhaoyan's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and his eyes couldn't help looking at the girl's profile.

A pair of pitch-black phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and cherry-like lips.

Here is a princess used to superiority.

How did she endure being refuted by the young master of the Zhuo family in front of Emperor Donglin, and even thanked the Zhuo king without any grievances?
With these doubts, Ye Zhaoyan observed the banquet uneasily, but fortunately nothing strange happened during it.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief and decided to return home earlier, a burst of exclamation rang out.

Ye Zhaoyan turned around and looked into the distance. A handsome woman fell to the ground, her face covered with tears, and she was moaning in pain.

At this time, a man got out from the crowd and hurriedly ran forward to hold the woman.

The woman looked up at the person who came, and cried out in fear: "Princess, help, they are going to kill the slaves to silence them."

"Who caused trouble at the banquet?" Kun Yu's slightly angry voice came.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned when he heard this.

Although Zhuo Wang's mansion is not as well-regulated as the prince's, it still has a lot of status in Jindu City. How could anyone dare to mess up in the mansion? Could it be that...
She was shocked when she thought of something.

At this time, the old housekeeper of Zhuo Wang's Mansion hurried over and was about to go forward, but was stopped by Kunyu's guards, with a little confusion on his face, as if he was a little confused about the sudden attack.

"The villain didn't commit murder. The woman fell down because she stole something from the warehouse and ran away in a panic." The man said.

His tone was quick but not loud, obviously he was extremely reluctant to open things up in front of everyone.

"Since there was no murder, why did you hold her up?" Kunyu asked in a deep voice.

"His Royal Highness is in charge of the servant girl!" the woman cried.

"Of course I will make the decision for you, don't worry." Kunyu comforted, and the two guards immediately stepped forward to lean on the man.

Seeing this, the man quickly let go of the woman.

The woman stood up staggeringly, walked in front of Kun Yu, her knees softened, she knelt down, and cried out: "Your Highness, the servant girl is really helpless, if it continues to delay, I'm afraid."
