Jiaochu

Chapter 529 Letter

After the ship docked, a soldier led Yan Fei to the tents at the rear, and stopped outside the door of one of the big tents. There was only one person guarding the door, Lei Qi, who was holding the knife wrapped in black cloth. of epee. Seeing Yan Fei, Lei Qi looked at his figure and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he recognized him as the person he had fought with before.

At this time, Eunuch Gao walked out of the tent, led Yan Fei in and then withdrew.

There was a person sitting directly in front of him. A pair of red gold armor was placed on the shelf next to him. He was wearing a black python robe. His eyebrows were slender, but his eyes were cold and sharp, not feminine at all.

Yan Feiyi turned his eyes to the right when he saw the new emperor of Qi State. There was another person sitting over there, with his upper body tilted and one foot crossed, looking a little careless. A pair of alert eyes quickly looked at him, and his attention shifted to the saber on his waist. He seemed to be more interested in the knife than in it. To the people.

Li Chengyuan asked Ye Xingye why he didn't come, and Yan Fei replied, "I am afraid that His Highness will be taken hostage." Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "You dare to say anything, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Yan Fei remained silent. , Li Chengyuan said, "Are you afraid?" Yan Fei said, "His Highness did not do the poisoning. Please let your Majesty investigate clearly." Li Chengyuan said with a smile, "If I didn't notice, how could you come back so easily." Yan Fei said. Fei said, "Since the emperor knows that it has nothing to do with His Highness, why did he lead the expedition himself?"

Li Chengyuan glanced at the person on his right. Yan Fei also looked at him and noticed the golden unicorn hanging on his waist. He had seen it somewhere before and had some impressions.

"I have a letter here." Those alert eyes looked at the mask on Yan Fei's face, and then changed the subject, "Can you take off this mask?"

Yanfei ignored the question and asked directly: "Is the letter addressed to His Highness?"

He stretched out his index finger and waved it, not telling who to give it to, deliberately titillating people's appetites. Yan Fei was not in a hurry to ask about Xin, and instead asked him how to address him. He simply said his name, Wei Fan, and asked Yan Fei what his name was. Yan Fei changed his name to Yan Zhu on the spot. Wei Fan heard that it was Yan Zhu and asked him if he was the fifth prince who was living abroad. Yan Fei could tell that it was a joke and did not answer.

Li Chengyuan said: "It turns out that there is a fifth prince living in Xiyan."

A flicker of doubt flashed in Yan Fei's mind, and he quickly connected the things. He had previously suspected that Yan Lianjue's poisoning was not an accident, but was done deliberately by the other party. He and Li Chengyuan had already secretly reached a cooperation.

"However, you need to change your name. It doesn't sound good to be called Bamboo." Wei Fan said.

Yanfei didn't say anything to see how much gossip he had to say. Wei Fan wanted to see his sword, but Yan Fei said it was not appropriate to see weapons in front of the emperor. Li Chengyuan said it was okay, and Yan Fei took out his sword and showed it to Wei Fan. His alert eyes flashed across the sharp blade. He reached out and tapped it and listened to the sound. He said that the knife was good, but unfortunately it was not as sharp as the black unicorn's knife.

Yan Fei put the knife back into its scabbard with a crisp movement, and handed over to Li Chengyuan, saying that if there was no intention of starting a war, he would bring the news back as soon as possible. Li Chengyuan said that he would cross the river at midnight tonight and asked him to go back and report a message to King Pingnan so that he could make preparations in advance.

Yan Fei said: "The emperor really wants to cross the river and attack the city?"

Li Chengyuan said: "It's not necessary to attack the city after crossing the river, but just to show off, this is what I promised before. If we fight at night, we don't need real swords or guns. Just listen to the sound."

Yan Fei said: "I dare to ask, for whom is the emperor going to all this trouble to perform this play?"

Li Chengyuan picked up the tea cup, scratched it twice, and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. You can go back." Yan Fei bowed his hands and resigned, and Wei Fan also resigned.

After coming out, Wei Fan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yan Fei, asking him to take the letter to the girl who came back from Qi together. Yan Fei did not accept the letter and asked who wrote it. Wei Fan chuckled and asked what his relationship was with that girl. Yan Fei said she was his wife. Wei Fan's eyes lit up, as if he had eaten a big melon, and said the letter was written by his highness, and sighed that he His Highness could not even be tempted by a beauty like Miss Wen hanging around in front of his eyes every day. Unexpectedly, he actually fell in love with a married woman. He felt regretful and rather gloating about his misfortune, so he was not in a hurry to hand over the letter to Yan Fei.

After sighing and seeing that Yan Fei had left, Wei Fan was not in a hurry. After Yan Fei got on the boat, he punched out the letter like a hidden weapon, aiming it squarely at Yan Fei's head. He raised his hand, held the letter between his two fingers, glanced at it, turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, the letter still held between his two fingers.

……

After coming back, Yan Fei conveyed Li Chengyuan's intention to King Pingnan and Ye Xingye. Both of them felt strange. Before they could think about it for a while, Chang Chong shouted from outside the tent, asking King Pingnan to let him go quickly. King Pingnan was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked Yanfei what he thought. What he said was true or false. Soldiers never tire of deceit. Don't be caught off guard with real swords and guns.

Yan Fei judged from Li Chengyuan's demeanor and tone at that time that the other party was probably not lying. To be cautious, he still had to be prepared.

Chang Chong's shouting continued, and Ye Xingye was upset when he heard it. He told King Pingnan to put him back first. King Pingnan didn't want to let him go so easily, so he asked someone to bring Chang Chong in and ask him about the last time. Chang Chong didn't say whether he would accept the defeat or not, but two words were engraved on his face: dissatisfaction.

King Pingnan proposed to compete with him alone. If he won, he would immediately have someone escort him back. If he lost, he would stay here to wash vegetables and cook for the soldiers. Chang Chong glanced at the big knife standing on the iron frame. He felt a little frightened, but he didn't want to lose face, so he agreed bravely.

King Pingnan did not hold a sword and prepared to fight with bare hands, which was exactly what Chang Chong wanted.

The two of them cleared the field and prepared to compete with their bare hands. Yan Fei told Ye Xingye to return to the city first.

……

It was already evening when we entered the city. People and horses were galloping past the streets in the blazing red sunset. There were no people on the streets. The shops were closed early. Pairs of eyes were looking at people and horses from behind the windows and doors. Went in the direction of Wangfu.

When we arrived at Haitang Garden, the sunset glow on the horizon became a little lighter.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the face leaning against the window, his chin resting on his crossed arms, his eyes wandering, as if he was in a trance. He walked lightly and walked over without disturbing her. When he was approaching the window, he remembered that when he was in Xiuzhou City before, he also walked to the window like this and looked at her shadow reflected on the window lattice. She opened the window and saw He, the two of them looked at each other in the moonlight without speaking. He was afraid that she would catch a cold and asked her to close the window. She closed it obediently, and the two of them talked through the window again. Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile, but he didn't pay attention. Those eyes were looking at him.

When he noticed, the two of them looked at each other without saying anything. The afterglow of the sunset fell just right on their hair, giving them a golden glow.

She stretched out her hands and gently held his cheeks. Moved by affection, she reached out and pecked him on the forehead.

After entering the room, Yan Fei felt that his heartbeat was still a little restless. He calmed down before walking to her, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to her. She took the letter and asked who wrote it. He glanced sideways unnaturally and didn't say who wrote it. He asked her to see what was written on it first.
