Chapter 319
The assassin was stunned, he probably didn't expect the other party to be so heartless and ungrateful, completely indifferent to Princess Yuan's life or death.

"Even if you don't care about the life and death of Princess Ling, if Princess Ling really died at our hands, it's not easy for you to explain to the Yi family, right?" the assassin came back to his senses, and said coldly.

"You make sense, so what do you think?" Pei Yuan thought for a moment, then asked.

"If you give us the heir of King Zhennan, we will naturally release Princess Ling." The leading assassin said in a deep voice.

Pei Yuan shook his head, "The prince of Zhennan is a guest in the capital, he is the emperor's distinguished guest, not something you can just ask for."

"So, you don't care about Princess Ling's life?" the assassin said, putting a sharp knife on Qiu Chan's neck.

In his opinion, no matter how ungrateful and ungrateful Pei Yuan is, he will definitely not see his concubine killed by them, so they still have a chance of winning.

However, this thought just flashed through his mind, and the next moment, his arm suddenly felt a sharp pain.

Before he could react, his arm holding the knife suddenly flew out.

"Ah—" he screamed, staring at the woman in front of him with a stern face, reacted belatedly, and roared angrily, "She's not Princess Yuan, we've been tricked, get out!"

Too bad it's too late.

In their eyes, Princess Yuan, who had no martial arts at all, suddenly had two short knives in her hand.

In her hand, the dagger was as light as a willow leaf, and as she flew it, two lives were harvested.

The situation was reversed, and not long after, all the assassins were subdued.

Liu Ying even beheaded the lead assassin.

Pei Yuan handed over a letter and instructed lightly, "Together with the head, deliver it to King Zhennan on the day of King Zhennan's birthday, and treat it as a birthday present from this king."

"Yes." Liu Ying answered, took the letter, took the head and letter with him, and left.

Pei Yuan sat on the horse, looking into the distance.

As early as when the assassin sent a letter asking him to exchange Zhennan Prince's heir for Princess Yuan, he knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was Zhennan Wang Yan Qingshan.

The king of Zhennan is a king with a different surname, and he was rewarded by the first emperor when he was in power.

This person is quite tolerant, and he is loyal to the imperial court on the surface, but in fact he is ambitious and secretly recruits troops.

Over the years, the power has grown day by day, and now it has the tendency to fight against the imperial court.

Yan Qingshan had already developed a plotting heart. On the emperor's birthday this year, vassal princes from all over the country came to Beijing to congratulate the emperor, but Zhennan King did not come, and only sent his son Yan Yu to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.

But he didn't know that the imperial court had already received news that he had a heart of disobedience and would turn against him at the end of the year. Therefore, after the emperor's birthday, he detained Yan Yu in the capital.

After all, he was the only son, Yan Qingshan couldn't bear his son's death, so he didn't send troops for a long time.

In order to save his son, he even sent someone to Beijing to kidnap Yizhu in exchange for his son.

Yan Qingshan is different from other vassal kings, he has a deep foundation, and he has enough soldiers and food, so it is not easy to shake.

And once a war breaks out, it is the people who suffer.

However, Yan Qingshan also has a weakness, and that is his only son Yan Yu.

Pei Yuan thought lightly, and ordered to withdraw the troops and return to the city.

Yuan Palace.

After Pei Yuan left, Yi Zhu was waiting for him to come back in the front yard.

She didn't wait long.

After an hour or so, the guards came back one after another.

They walked in with a relaxed face, still holding the iron sheet in their hands.

"What are you doing?" Biqing asked curiously.

"Back to Miss Biqing, this is an iron piece." A guard replied.

"I know it's a piece of iron, but I want to ask, what are you doing with this?" Biqing said with a smile.

The guard scratched his head, and then said embarrassedly: "This one is used to resist weapons, like this."

The guard said, and demonstrated, stuffing the iron piece under his shirt.

"Hey, that's a good idea." Bi Qing praised.

The guard smiled and said, "It was the prince who asked us to do this."

"Why?" Yi Zhu, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help asking.

"In order not to be killed when deliberately losing to the enemy." The guard said.

Yizhu's master and servant were taken aback, "Why did you deliberately lose to the enemy?"

"Because in this way, the enemy can be paralyzed, and the enemy can be wiped out." At this time, Qiu Chan walked in and spoke for the guard.

"Cicada, you're back, are you okay?" Yizhu said with concern.

"Your subordinate is fine." Qiu Chan shook her head with a smile.

"That's good. Is things going well?" Yizhu asked again.

"It went well, and there were no casualties among our people." Qiu Chan explained.

When Yizhu heard the words, she understood the meaning of the guard's phrase of pretending to be dead.

It seems that the guards who escorted Qiu Chan out of the city today, in order not to make the enemy suspicious, put iron plates under their clothes in advance, and then pretended to be invincible, and were stabbed in the vitals by the enemy on purpose, and the iron plates were their confidence.

Seeing that everyone came back but not Pei Yuan, Yi Zhu asked strangely: "Where is the prince, why didn't you come back with you?"

"My lord has gone to the Qingjia Camp." Qiu Chan replied.

"Oh." Yi Zhu nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Since the enemy has been wiped out, it should be fine for me to go out now, right?"

"Of course." Qiu Chan nodded.

"Then let's go shopping." Yizhu said excitedly.

Since she was assassinated, she stayed in the mansion most of the time and could not go anywhere. Now that the danger was lifted, she suddenly became greedy for the roast goose in Fengming Tower.

I don't know if it was influenced by Lele. In the past, Lele loved the roast goose in Fengminglou the most.

Thinking about it, she reached out and touched her belly with a sad expression.

Knowing that she thought of the little prince again, Biqing sighed softly.

When going out, Pei Yuan happened to come back.

Knowing that Yi Zhu was going out, he wanted to accompany her.

"If the lord has something important to do, you don't need to accompany me. Biqing and Qiuchan are with me." Yizhu said understandingly.

Pei Yuan glanced at the two of them and said, "You don't need to follow today."

"Yes." The two agreed.

"You really want to go out with me?" Yi Zhu was stunned.

"That's still false." Pei Yuan took her hand and walked out.

Yi Zhu was a little apprehensive, "But you have so many things to do..."

"Nothing is more important than you." Pei Yuan touched her head and interrupted her.

When Yizhu heard the words, sweetness filled her heart, and she lost all scruples.

Looking at the man's handsome side face, she couldn't help but get closer, and teased, "Why is your lord so talkative today?"

Pei Yuan glanced at her sideways, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Am I usually very bad at talking?"

"No." Yizhu shook her head.

Pei Yuan held her little hand tightly, "I'm telling the truth."

When Yizhu heard it, her heart became sweeter. She took his arm and said playfully: "Well, I like to listen. The prince will talk more."

Pei Yuan's cold eyes were filled with a smile, and he pinched her soft face with his fingers, "I'm getting more and more courageous."
