Jiaochu

Yanfei propped himself on one knee on the ground, and there was a drop of blood hanging on the dagger in his hand, which fell to the ground with a ticking sound.

A figure hurried over. When he looked up and saw the person running over, his heart surged with blood. He could no longer suppress the sweet smell in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ye Lingxi was startled and wanted to carry Yan Fei to see the imperial doctor. Yan Fei said that he had medicine on him, so she immediately reached out to his arms to take it out. Yan Fei said that the medicine was in his sleeve, but it was still a step too late, so she took it out. A small lucky bag, thought it contained medicine, but actually contained a peace charm, which she had given before. Yanfei immediately blushed and took the thing back into his arms. After taking the medicine, he adjusted his breathing for a while and asked her to keep it. At the same place, he went to check on the black unicorn.

When he looked closer, he looked surprised because the person was gone, but the blood stains left on the ground showed that the person was indeed lying here before. His blow could definitely kill someone, unless the other person was not a human, or had practiced some other heresy. Xie Gong, thinking that the person might still be alive, he immediately rushed back to Ye Lingxi, holding the dagger and staring at the surrounding movements with vigilance.

He couldn't feel any murderous aura, nor could he feel the evil aura.

Suddenly there was a thud and a heavy object hit in front of the two of them.

It was the black unicorn. He was motionless and looked like he had lost his breath.

"People are still alive."

With these words left in the air, a figure quickly flew away.

Yan Fei stepped forward to explore, took out a signal bomb from his sleeve and put it into the night sky. Soon two dragon shadow guards came over and took the black unicorn away.

After the black unicorn matter was resolved, Yan Fei didn't relax completely. "Why is the princess here? It's too dangerous." Although the voice was not too harsh, it was still a bit serious. She didn't say anything, then turned and left. Yan Fei immediately followed and explained awkwardly, "I'm afraid that the princess will be injured. If the princess is injured, I will feel bad." He said the last four words with a slight shyness. .

Ye Lingxi stopped and turned to look at him. Yan Fei showed a clumsy smile. She turned her head and pursed her lips and smiled. She took out the jade flute fastened to her waist. Yan Fei looked slightly surprised and said, "The song just now Did the princess play it?" She replied, "This is the Jingxin Jue. I tried to change it to musical notation. Every time I played this piece, Xiao Jinnian would sleep obediently."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came over again.

Yan Fei immediately stood in front of Ye Lingxi and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

The other party walked out from the shadow of the tree, wearing a snow-white crane feather cloak.

It’s not Xiao Yun or anyone else.

Yan Fei glanced behind him and realized that the library was not far away.

"It's so late, why are you still in the palace?" Yan Fei said.

Xiao Yun replied: "There are some ancient books that need to be repaired." He saluted Ye Lingxi again and asked, "Did the princess play the music just now?" Yan Fei said, "Why do you ask this?" Xiao Yun There was no answer, and the atmosphere was a little cold. Ye Lingxi said, "This is the meditation technique that Master taught me before. I changed it to a tune on a whim." Xiao Yun nodded, then bowed and left.

Yan Fei sent Ye Lingxi back.

When Hehe and Lingdang saw someone coming back, their anxious hearts finally let go.

Ye Lingxi told Yanfei to remember to see the doctor, and Yanfei agreed. She told her again, and Yanfei swore that he would be a puppy if he didn't see the doctor.

On the other side, the Imperial City Secretary surrounded the post house.

Yuan Luo sat on a chair, holding a cup of tea and scratching it, telling the envoy not to be nervous. He brought people here because someone reported that a thief had entered the post house. In order to ensure the safety of people and gold, the thief must be caught. .

While the envoy was saying his thanks, he secretly paid attention to what was going on outside.

A subordinate came to report to Yuan Luo that no suspicious persons were found in the east wing. The envoy took the opportunity to say that it must be a misunderstanding, and flattered him by saying that the Imperial City Secretary and Yuan Luo, a perceptive commander, were in the capital. Where could those little thieves be? Have the guts to sneak in and steal something. Yuan Luo scratched the cup again and said with an elegant smile: "Your Excellency, I am exaggerating. I am doing errands for the Emperor. How dare I not not do my best? However, the Imperial City Division is not as good as General Yan's Long Yingwei. I have a rude background, and How can he compare to General Yan, who has a loyal family. Not long ago, his niece married into the county prince's palace. The eldest son of his family and the third princess studied together in the minister's study room. They have a very good relationship. In the future, he will become the prince's consort. I don't know how many years later. Scenery.”

The envoy said: "As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind. Besides, how can the great man of his family be as noble as the Crown Prince?"

Yuan Luo said: "Having said that, the emperor has always doted on the three princesses. The emperor will naturally not object to whoever the princess likes. Besides, the emperor will not let the princess marry far away. I would like to advise you to give up the idea of ​​seeking marriage."

The envoy said: "Didn't the eldest princess of your country also marry into the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? The small country of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is not as good as the Western Yan. Even if they can marry us, we can't."

Yuan Luo smiled and said: "The eldest princess likes the prince of Eastern Zhou Dynasty. No, it's time to call him Emperor of Zhou Dynasty now. What can the emperor do? He can't beat the mandarin duck with a stick and make the father and daughter turn against each other."

The envoy said: "I will secretly tell you something, that Eastern Zhou Dynasty is not a good person."

Yuan Luo said: "How do you say this?"

Just as the envoy was about to speak, a subordinate came down to report to Yuan Luo that Yan Jiang was coming.

After Yanjiang arrived, he invited the envoy into the palace. The envoy asked what was going on and looked happy. He asked if the emperor had agreed to release him. Yanjiang said, "Your Excellency, you will know when you see the emperor."

Yuan Luo said: "My lord, go ahead. I will definitely catch the thief."

After Yanjiang led the envoys into the palace, he went to the imperial study.

As soon as he saw the envoy Ye Lanchen, he cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being so kind. I will fulfill my mission by lowering my official rank."

Ye Lanchen said: "You broke into the palace at night and robbed people. Do you still want me to show mercy?"

The envoy was surprised and said: "Why did the emperor say this?"

Yan Jiang said: "Sir, please stop pretending. Everyone has been caught and is being held in prison now. You will know when you go back and count the number of people."

The envoy looked shocked, and immediately raised his hands and said: "I really don't know anything about this, please ask your Majesty to take a closer look."

Ye Lanchen said: "Since ancient times, the two countries have been at war. If you don't kill the envoy, I won't kill you. You go back and bring a letter saying that I will stay with the Grand Master Shang for a while."

The envoy still wanted to explain.

Ye Lanchen got up and left.

After Yan Jiang sent him off respectfully, he said to the envoy: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Your Majesty is merciful and asks you to go back and report a message. You will discuss it with the Queen Mother again."

The next day, the envoys set out to leave the capital.

After leaving the capital for more than ten miles, the envoy asked someone to open the box containing gold. It turned out that there were stones inside, and they were all thrown on the roadside. They continued on their way without going back to ask for an explanation.

The original 100,000 taels of gold only had solid gold bricks on the top, and bricks covered with gold foil underneath. They looked the same as gold bricks, but you could tell if they were real or fake by holding them in your hands and weighing them.

When Ye Lanchen learned about this, he wasn't too surprised. Xiyan was well known for being cunning. If half of the 100,000 taels of gold were genuine, it wouldn't be Xiyan.
