The concubine's favorite? Break off the engagement and marry another prince, please respect you

Chapter 178

Disappeared?
He disappeared with about a hundred people!
Lu Ziyan turned around suddenly and asked coldly, "Is there any news from the capital?"

Ming Jian was slightly stunned and shook his head slowly, "Only His Majesty..."

He was interrupted by Lu Ziyan who raised his arm in the middle of his words. His expression was frighteningly ugly. "I have a feeling that something might have happened in the capital."

If His Majesty is no longer among them, then it is self-evident who is responsible for the incident.

Mingjian frowned and said, "But there is no news from Mingfeng."

Mingfeng stayed in the capital, and Yunjin did not come with him this time. When Lu Ziyan left, he gave Mingfeng a death order that Yunjin could not move except for extremely urgent matters related to Xie Wan Ning.

If something happened to Xie Wan Ning, Ming Feng would not fail to report it.

With Yunjin's speed, if they fly day and night without stopping, they can reach the northern border in less than three days.

Could the Crown Prince of the Jin Dynasty really be so bold as to lead a hundred men alone and penetrate deep into the territory of the Khan's capital, just to capture a woman?
But if this is not the case, where is the commander-in-chief when the two armies are fighting?

Something really happened in the capital city?
Lu Ziyan looked up at the sky and felt as if his chest was being tightly gripped by a huge hand. If it weren't for the last bit of rationality, he would have rushed to the capital without caring about anything.

Ming Jian didn't dare to speak for a moment.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky where yellow sand was flying. It flew down at a high speed and landed on the city wall. It chirped twice at Lu Ziyan.

It was Yunjin, who had been flying for several days and nights. It seemed extremely tired. Its originally shiny feathers were now gray, and even its sharp chirping sounds seemed listless.

Even though his beloved pet was so tired, Lu Ziyan's feet seemed to have taken root. He stared blankly at the bamboo tube on Yun Jin's neck with a pale face, without moving.

I was afraid that if I opened it, the pain would be unbearable.

Ming Jian had never seen his master so weak. His expression suddenly changed, but he still walked over steadily, touched Yun Jin's head, took off the bamboo tube, tore open the sealing layer, and then bent over and handed it to Lu Ziyan.

…………

At the end of October, in late autumn, on the Northern Frontier battlefield that had been deadlocked for more than a month, Commander Lu Ziyan ordered a general attack on the Great Jin.

Less than three days into the general attack, the Khan's cavalry broke through the Jin Dynasty's city gate for the first time in nearly a hundred years.

Although they were a nomadic people, they built towering city walls on the border of the Jin Dynasty.

In early November, according to the schedule, the commander Lu Ziyan, who was supposed to fight the enemy on the battlefield, appeared in Yuezhou, nearly a thousand miles away from the northern border.

"Have you confirmed the trail?" He dismounted, threw the whip to the deputy general who stretched out his hand, and asked as he walked with a frosty face.

"Yes!" said the deputy general, "Jin Wuji brought a hundred people with him. Although they were disguised as merchants, they were heading north. After checking, their target was very obvious. We confirmed that they would pass by here by water today. Mingfeng has also arrived."

Jin Wuji and his group needed to cover their tracks and sneak around secretly, so they had to slow down. But Ming Feng was different. He took the jade token and traveled all the way here under the stars and moon, arriving even a day earlier than them.

Lu Ziyan said: "Where is the person? Ask him to come over."

After a while, Ming Feng pushed the door open and walked in. He knelt on one knee as soon as he stepped in. "This subordinate deserves death! I have failed the prince's trust. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

His injuries had not yet healed, and he had been traveling for several days and nights in a row, so he looked pale and haggard.

Lu Ziyan's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at him quietly for a long time, then suddenly kicked him to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "You really deserve to die! You were asked to protect a good person, but you let the thieves kidnap her!" The kick was so powerful that Mingfeng vomited blood, but he knelt down again without saying a word.

Lu Ziyan regained some composure, squatted down and stared at him, saying, "What on earth is going on! With your ability, how could the hundred or so people led by Jin Wuji kidnap someone right under your nose in the capital!"

"There are more than a hundred of them. There is an insider in the capital called Jin Wuji. There are more than 2,000 people who surrounded the hot spring villa overnight." Ming Feng realized that those foreigners were actually the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty who came with his personal soldiers. He calmed down and said, "Those Khans are not scattered soldiers and bandits. Judging from their moves and steps, they are well-trained elite soldiers."

Internal response!

More than two thousand elite soldiers!
The bamboo tube that Yun Jin sent only stated that Xie Wan Ning was abducted by foreigners, but did not mention the cause and effect.

The suspicion was confirmed, and Lu Ziyan clenched his teeth, "Tell her the truth about everything she has experienced recently."

Mingfeng did not dare to be negligent and told Xie Wanning everything about his daily life in those days.

Since the day Lu Ziyan left the capital, Ming Feng has become Xie Wan Ning's secret guard. Although there are several experts guarding the Princess Duan Yang of the Duke of Pei's Mansion, they could not detect his presence. It can be said that in the past few months, every move of Xie Wan Ning has been under his watch.

He said, "Except for the fact that I did not accompany Miss Xie when she entered the palace half a month ago, these are the things that Miss Xie encountered during this period of time."

Lu Ziyan listened attentively, his lips curled into an icy arc, "Was it the girl from the eldest branch of the Pei family who invited you to the Marriage Temple?"

"Yes!" Mingfeng said, "But it was Princess Pingning who suggested going to the hot spring villa."

"No, they will take action regardless of whether they go to the hot spring villa or not," Lu Ziyan said slowly with an unpredictable look in his eyes, "Once they arrive at the hot spring villa, it will just be a good opportunity for them to change their actions from day to night."

After all, Miss Pei was one of the second prince's concubines in her previous life.

With such an achievement, I'm afraid she could be promoted from a concubine to a concubine?

But the Second Prince doesn't have thousands of elite soldiers...

Lu Ziyan thought for a few breaths and said, "Whose family is the eldest prince's newly chosen principal wife from?"

He had been away from the capital for many months, and was not allowed to use Yunjin, which was a very fast means of communication, so he was not able to understand the situation in the capital as quickly as he could.

Ming Feng replied, "Originally, the Concubine Xian chose the girl from the Cao family, the Minister of Personnel, but later the eldest prince fell in love with the girl from the Yu family and they got engaged a month ago."

The Khan's surname Yu is rare, and the girl from the Yu family who is qualified to be the eldest prince's principal wife can only be the daughter of General Yu Cheng stationed at Yanyun Pass.

now it's right.

Lu Ziyan's expression became increasingly gloomy. He slowly stood up and looked towards the direction of Xiangzhou. After a while, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his lips.

You have involved yourself in this game, collaborating with the enemy and committing treason, Yucheng, you deserve to die.

The eldest prince and the second prince also deserve to die.

Is there anyone else who has a hand in this?

He suddenly turned around and looked towards Kyoto, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

In such an important place as the capital, the beloved girl of the commander-in-chief of the three armies was abducted by foreigners right under his nose. Whether the emperor knew about it or not, he was not innocent.

Sure enough, a waste is still a waste after all. The foreign enemies have not been repelled yet, but his mind is full of imperial power tactics.
