Chapter 732 Chen Keyan: Promise me not to provoke Yaoyao in the future

There was complete chaos in the Shu palace.

The palace guards were searching everywhere, one after another, wearing armor and armed with swords. The eunuchs and maids were panicked. There were lights of fire in the distance, accompanied by the sound of putting out fires.

Chen Keyan took Su Xian and moved forward in the dark. There were no dangers along the way, and the palace where they stayed was already in sight.

Finally safe.

The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Su Xian walked behind, looking at the graceful figure in front of him, he took two steps forward, walked side by side with her, and asked in a low voice:
"Look what good things you have done tonight! That Concubine Zhang... you have tricked me. Fortunately, this matter was not exposed, otherwise we would all suffer!"

"My lord, what are you talking about? I didn't understand." Chen Keyan tilted her head with a puzzled expression, but her slightly evasive eyes betrayed her.

"I'm already drunk. If you hadn't taken me to the Ecstasy Hall, would I have been able to walk there by myself?!" Su Xian glared.

"But doesn't the young master have to hug a beauty? The young master should be grateful to the Nu family for being a matchmaker." Seeing that she couldn't hide, Chen Keyan had to admit.

"you……"

Su Xian was speechless for a moment.

It is true that he did take advantage of the sky, but...he suddenly stopped, looked sideways at the distant fire, looked back at Chen Keyan and asked:

"Zhilan and the others' actions have not been exposed. According to the plan, they should not set fire to it, but why did you set fire to Liufang Palace?"

"For the sake of the gentleness of the young master, no one will disturb him." Chen Keyan came closer and lowered her voice and laughed.

"you……"

Su Xian was speechless again. Under the thin moonlight, Chen Keyan's smile was sweet. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Su Xian was unable to do anything to her for the moment.

In the end, I had to say: "Concubine Zhang regards you as a sister and best friend, but you... are you worthy of her?"

Chen Keyan didn't feel any guilt at all and said with a smile:

"Young Master, don't worry. I understand her situation. I am doing this for her own good. By the way, I can also make you cheaper, Young Master. It can be said to be the best of both worlds!"

"Heretics!"

Su Xian was too lazy to talk to her and walked quickly to the palace where he was staying.

At this time, more than ten people came forward. Judging from their clothes, they should be the entourage of the Liao envoys.

For the birthday banquet in Liufang Palace, only envoys and deputy envoys from various countries were invited to participate, and the rest of the attendants could only stay in the palace where they stayed, and were not allowed to go out under normal circumstances.

However, due to the current chaos in the Shu Palace, some bold followers ignored the rules and went out to inquire for information.

"Yo!"

The first Liao man looked surprised, looked at Chen Keyan and Su Xian, and said in a bad tone: "Aren't these the Nanchen envoy and deputy envoy?"

"How?" Su Xian stood up. He didn't have any good feelings towards these Liao people now. Before, the Liao envoy had warned that sooner or later he would be cut into pieces by a thousand knives.

"Come here, arrest these two!" The leader of the Liao people waved his hand, and the Liao people behind him immediately took action and ran towards Su Xian and Chen Keyan with great momentum.

"This is the forbidden area of ​​Shu Palace. I will see who of you dares to take action."

Chen Keyan stepped forward, her face as cold as ice.

As expected, the menacing Liao people stopped. The leader of the Liao people sneered: "Even if we don't take action, the guards in the palace will do it later. What's the difference?"

"What did you say?" Su Xian asked. He actually felt guilty. Could it be that... what happened in the Hall of Ecstasy just now was discovered by them?
"Because you are the culprits who set fire to the Liufang Palace and disturbed His Majesty and the envoys from various countries!" the leader of the Liao people shouted.

This time, Chen Keyan felt guilty. Yes, she was indeed the one who conspired to set the fire, but she was perfectly self-possessed and should not have been discovered by these Liao people.

The leader of the Liao people was full of confidence and continued loudly:
"Your Majesty and the envoys from various countries are still in the Liufang Palace. The birthday banquet has not yet stopped, but your envoy Nanchen and his deputy have left... Who else could be the arsonist if not you?"

"..."

After hearing this, Su Xian and Chen Keyan took a breath at the same time.

These Liao people are just guessing and have no real evidence.

The leader of the Liao people continued to laugh:
"As the envoys and deputy envoys of Nanchen, you actually set fire to Liufang Palace, and almost injured His Majesty and the envoys of other countries... His Majesty will definitely break off all relations with Nanchen!"

"There is also Daliang, Daliang has already united with Nanchen, so Daliang will definitely be hated by His Majesty."

"Haha... If this happens, Shu will definitely unite with Daliao. Under our attack from the north and the south, your Daliang and Nanchen will be defeated miserably!"

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of palace guards wearing armor and armor rushed over quickly, their armors clashing with each other, making a clanging sound. There were about fifty of them.

Seeing this, the leader of the Liao people laughed again, pointing at Su Xian and Chen Keyan and said loudly:
"Let me tell you, even if we don't take action, the guards in this palace will not let you go!"

"Arrest all the thief's accomplices!" the leader of the palace guards ordered loudly.

"Yes!"

The soldiers took the order in unison.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Su Xian, Chen Keyan, and the Liao people, the soldiers rushed directly to... Su Xian and the others.

They surrounded Su Xian and Chen Keyan, their swords unsheathed, and they were on alert, waiting for the final order to arrest them.

Su Xian and Chen Keyan's pupils shrank suddenly.

What happened? It was really them that the palace guards arrested?

Chen Keyan reflected on the spot, which part of the problem went wrong?Could it be that it was really because she and Su Xian left Liufang Hall early?

Su Xian's heart was beating wildly. If he was caught, what happened in the Hall of Ecstasy might not be concealed... In order to successfully steal the medical book, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything good tonight.

Furthermore, what the Liao people said is true. What happens tonight will definitely push the Shu Kingdom into the Liao Kingdom. If they unite from the north to the south, it will indeed be a big challenge for Daliang.

On the side, the group of Liao people were very proud and mocked:

"So, are you still quibbling now? Haha, you Nanchen and Daliang are waiting to be ravaged by my Daliao cavalry! In fact, I have to thank you for accelerating the alliance between Daliao and Shu!"

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, a fast horse galloped up. The sound of horse hooves was crisp and rhythmic. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of everyone.

Everyone looked and saw that it was a general.

When the general saw the current situation, his expression changed dramatically.

"General, the last general has surrounded the thief's accomplices. Please order the arrest, general!" the leader of the guards said with his hands in hand.

"idiot!"

Immediately, the general became furious and turned the weapon in his hand. It was a long spear, and the head of the spear swept away the leader of the guards.

Such a shocking change caused everyone present to be in an uproar.

Swish!
The spear in the general's hand shook, and the bright spear tip reflected the thin moonlight, making it look increasingly cold. More importantly, the spear tip was pointed in the direction of the group of Liao people, and he shouted in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty has an order to capture the Liao thieves who set fire to Liufang Palace!"

"..."

Liao thief?

The soldiers reacted one after another, turned their spears, and aimed at the more than ten confused Liao people, and surrounded them.

"This general, there must be a misunderstanding!"

The expressions of the Liao people suddenly changed. They were gloating over Su Xian and Chen Keyan just now, but the result was a shocking reversal——

They were the thieves who set fire to Liufang Palace? !
"Take it!"

The general on horseback shouted orders.

The soldiers suddenly accepted the order and surrounded them together. The Liao people had no way to resist. They were caught on the spot and tied up with hemp ropes as thick as their thumbs.

The general turned the horse's head, looked at Chen Keyan and said apologetically: "These idiots under my command actually disturbed your envoy. I'm really sorry. When tonight's incident is over, I will definitely bear the blame."

Chen Keyan said calmly:

"Well, General, you're welcome. Without further ado, General, we'd better capture the Liao thieves as soon as possible. As far as I know, they still have many strongholds in Yizhou City."

"Thank you for reminding me..."

"..."

After a while, only Su Xian and Chen Keyan were left in front of the palace where they stayed.

The two looked at each other and turned back to where they were staying. Tonight was quite unusual. They didn't even sleep. They were drinking tea in the living room while inquiring about news.

During this period, Chen Keyan confessed all her arrangements.

Including the accusation of "arson of Liufang Palace" on the Liao people.

Su Xian didn't say much about this, after all, the matter was over.

Furthermore, Chen Keyan's original intention was just to vent his anger. Another point is that if the plan succeeds, Shu will completely break off diplomatic relations with Liao, which is a good thing for Daliang and Nanchen...

News comes from time to time.

It is said that Emperor Shu was furious and determined that the culprits of the arson were the Liao people, because the soldiers discovered something extraordinary in the Liao stronghold...

Su Xian and Chen Keyan didn't know exactly what they found. Anyway, Emperor Shu was furious and beheaded all the Liao people, including the Liao envoys, that night.

Su Xian and Chen Keyan couldn't help laughing after hearing the news.

This move by Emperor Shu was equivalent to completely severing diplomatic relations with the Liao Kingdom.

This is good for Daliang and Nan Chen.

What they did today was equivalent to smashing the conspiracy of Nalan Xiong and his son. When the news spread back to the Liao Kingdom, Prince Nan Tu and his son must have looked very good-looking.

However, Su Xian was only happy for a little while.

Because it is late at night, but Yang Zhilan and the others have not returned yet...

Chen Keyan advised:
"Young master, don't worry. If there is a fire in Liufang Palace, the masters in Shu Palace will definitely stay with Emperor Shu. Although other places in the palace are also in chaos, there is no problem for Yang Nuxia and the others."

"When do you think they can come back?" Su Xian asked.

"The Chongwen Tower has a rich collection of books. Probably... we should be able to return before dawn."

"Before dawn... it doesn't matter, as long as I can get that medical book back."

"..."

While they were chatting, the light at the door of the living room suddenly dimmed. Su Xian looked sideways and was immediately overjoyed, because Yang Zhilan, Yan Dashan, and Guan Ping were actually back!

"Have you got the things?" Su Xian stood up and went to meet them. He glanced at the three of them and found nothing unusual, and no one was injured.

"Young master, don't worry, we found it." Yan Dashan smiled.

At the same time, Yang Zhilan took out a book from her clothes. Su Xian took it and took a look. Sure enough, it was the second half of "Mei Ting Miscellaneous Notes", which was well preserved.

Su Xian was overjoyed, and while flipping through the half volume of medical books, he muttered to himself: "I finally got it, it's not in vain to toss for so long."

"What kind of medical book is this?"

Chen Keyan also stood up and walked over with a curious look on her face.

Su Xian solemnly handed half of the medical book to Yang Zhilan and said seriously: "Zhilan, promise me to protect this half of the medical book, okay?"

"Ah."

Yang Zhilan nodded and placed it close to her body. This was not only Su Xian's hope, but also her hope.

Su Xian can rest assured that she will take care of it herself.

Chen Keyan came over and couldn't catch a glimpse of the contents of the medical book. She didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "The things have been received. Everyone, please go back to your room and rest first. We will leave here early tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

At the moment, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Unknowingly, when the sun rose the next day, the Shu Palace, which had been noisy all night, finally calmed down, and it was as if what happened last night had never happened.

There was a fire in Liufang Palace and Emperor Shu was almost injured. It was supposed to be a shocking case. Under normal circumstances, no one could leave the palace.

Fortunately, the case was solved with lightning speed last night, so the palace gate was not closed.

Early in the morning, Chen Keyan took them out of Shu Palace and came outside.

"Without further delay, we will rush back to Yuzhou immediately!"

Su Xian was afraid that something might change if it was too late, and was afraid of delaying Yang Zhilan's condition. After meeting Tang Shujing and others, he prepared to leave without eating breakfast.

"Sir, wait a minute, I'll leave with you." Chen Keyan also packed her things. Although she looked calm, the panic deep in her eyes was still caught by Su Xian.

"Why, are you guilty of being a thief?"

Su Xian teased that Concubine Zhang was by no means an ordinary person. She might not have thought much about it last night when she was in the middle of the situation, but once she calmed down, she would probably come to trouble Chen Keyan today or tomorrow.

"On our way, just on our way." Chen Keyan laughed dryly and joined Su Xian's team without any explanation.

"..."

The road was smooth and they left Yizhou City.

It took several days to rush to Luzhou City along the official road.

Here they boarded a boat and sailed down the Yangtze River.

Soon, they arrived at the dock in Yuzhou.

Smooth all the way.

Su Xian and his party will disembark at Yuzhou Wharf.

Because Su Xian once told Chen Keyan that the famous hidden doctor he was looking for for Yang Zhilan was located near Yuzhou, so he must not land in Fengdu County, Zhongzhou...

This is the reason why a lie needs more lies to be fulfilled.

But there was no other way. Butterfly Valley was a paradise, and Li Qingniu didn't want to be disturbed by outsiders, so Su Xian could only choose to hide it...

Before Su Xian landed ashore, Chen Keyan knew that separation was inevitable, so she invited Su Xian to her cabin.

"you……"

"Master, don't talk."

Chen Keyan closed the cabin door, turned around and looked at Su Xian's face, lightly opened her bright red lips, and said warmly and boldly: "Sir...hug me, kiss me!"

Su Xian was instantly ignited, hugged her into her arms, and kissed her passionately...

After a long time, the two separated. Chen Keyan's delicate and beautiful face rarely turned red. She said slowly: "We say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see each other next time."

"When I solve the problem in Liao Kingdom, I will take the time to go to Nanchen to see you." Su Xian said.

"Young master has gone to Nanchen, aren't you afraid that the slave family won't let you leave?" Chen Keyan smiled sweetly and intoxicatingly.

"Then I won't go. I'm afraid I'll be eaten by you and not even a single bone will be left."

"Young Master is disgusting!" Chen Keyan punched him lightly, then straightened her face and said: "The slave family has fulfilled its promise, Young Master, please don't forget that promise."

"What promise?"

"There are four beauties in the world, Concubine Zhang, and my sister Chen Keyao! The slave family has 'sent' Concubine Zhang to the young master. The young master should abide by his promise and not take the initiative to provoke Yaoyao."

"Oh, this, no problem!"

Su Xian nodded.

Chen Keyan was very happy, and she actively hooked her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him passionately.

Su Xian doesn't refuse anyone who comes.

After a while, the two separated again, and Chen Keyan whispered:

"In the near future, the situation in Nanchen will undergo drastic changes. At that time, the young master must come to help me... When the slave family ascends to the throne of God, I will confer the young master as the 'Imperial Husband'."

Su Xian said seriously:
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you when the time comes..."

"Okay, it's almost time. It's time for me to go ashore. Please be careful along the way."

"..."

Su Xian and his party finally boarded the pier, turned around and watched the ship go down the river.

Chen Keyan kept waving on the deck and soon disappeared into the distance on the river...
