The best ring

After Li Ziyang left, the old emperor picked up the letter sent by Wu Fan again, read it for a long time, and suddenly tore the letter to pieces.

"Come here!"

The door was opened, and a eunuch came in trotting.

"Send an order to confer the title of county magistrate of Qingyuan County and Viscount Wu Fan to the rank of Earl, and confer him the title of prefect of Tianyuan Prefecture!" the old emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The eunuch responded.

After the eunuch left, the old emperor was the only one left in the room again.

"Wu Fan, I hope you won't let me down." The old emperor murmured to himself.

This time, the canonization of Wu Fan was not only a reward for Wu Fan's completion of the task of assassinating Yelu Hongfei, but also a training of Wu Fan. Obviously, Wu Fan's several wonderful performances have won the trust and appreciation of the old emperor. The old emperor has planned to focus on training Wu Fan and let Wu Fan assist him in the next emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom in the future.

Wu Fan obviously didn't know about this at this time, but even if he knew, he wouldn't be too surprised. He had too many official positions. Although the status of the prefect was not low in Yanfeng Country, Wu Fan would not be too proud of it. He was already numb to the official positions and rewards.

In the next few days, Wu Fan stayed by Zhao Qi's side. Zhao Qi never looked sad again because of this. Instead, she kept smiling. She didn't look like she was going to marry far away, but she looked like she was going out for a trip with Wu Fan.

The marching speed of the marriage team was always very fast. Wu Fan had complained about this before he arrived. After getting on the carriage, Wu Fan also understood the reason. It turned out that it was ordered by the old emperor of Yanfeng Country. Wu Fan couldn't help complaining about this.

Because the marching speed of the marriage team was very fast, Wu Fan and his team had already left the territory of Yanfeng Country and entered the territory of Xiufeng Country, and were even about to reach the capital of Xiufeng Country.

Just as Wu Fan expected, they had not been attacked in the past few days, and everything seemed normal, as if the assassination did not exist at all. However, Wu Fan did not dare to be careless about this. Several black shadow four-winged birds and Yaoyang spotted birds were also conducting reconnaissance in the air.

Of course, while accompanying Zhao Qi on the road, Wu Fan did not ignore the attention to Fengyu City. The Swift Wind Eagle had been placed there by Wu Fan. Through the vision of the Swift Wind Eagle, Wu Fan could clearly see the "live broadcast" of the Fengyu City defense battle.

The battle in Fengyu City has been in a stalemate in the past few days. The battle is going on every day, but no one can have an overwhelming advantage. This is naturally a good thing for the defenders in the city. This shows that they have passed the most dangerous moment. They have the capital as a support and can fight the rebels.

The rebels outside the city could not continue to fight. After all, their supplies were limited. Even though Cai Cheng prepared a lot of supplies in advance for this rebellion, they could not withstand long-term consumption. In Wu Fan's opinion, Cai Cheng's army was almost at its limit and they could launch a decisive battle at any time.

However, Wu Fan did not intend to hand over the initiative of launching a decisive battle to Cai Cheng and his men, but was ready to control it himself.

After this period of teleportation, the defenders in Shanling Pass had basically been teleported to the palace of Fengyu City, and the defenders in the city had fully adapted to the rhythm of the war. Wu Fan and his men were fully capable of launching a decisive battle.

It was just because of Zhao Qi's affairs that Wu Fan had not returned.

In the past few days, a major event happened in Shuiyue Kingdom:

The crown prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, Yelu Honglin, was ambushed and assassinated when he went out hunting.

Fortunately, although Yelu Honglin was wounded by an arrow, it was not fatal. With the desperate protection of his guards, Yelu Honglin escaped successfully and captured several assassins.

After these assassins were captured, most of them chose to commit suicide at the first time, but two assassins were prevented from committing suicide in advance by Yelu Honglin's men.

Afterwards, the people in the Moonlight City government tortured the two assassins severely, and it took a lot of twists and turns to find out their identities.

According to the confessions of the two assassins, they were all from Yanfeng Country and sneaked into Shuiyue Country just to assassinate.

In the confessions of the two assassins, the people in the Moonlight City government office also got a shocking news:

The second prince Yelu Hongfei who was in Yangyuguan of Heishui Country before was also assassinated by them!

This confession was sent to Yelu Zong's desk at the first time. Yelu Zong was immediately furious. In his rage, he was about to lead his troops to attack Yanfeng Kingdom. However, his decision was stopped by Yelu Tangzhi and some other ministers.

Even though he failed to lead his troops to attack Yanfeng Kingdom, Yelu Zong did not stop condemning Yanfeng Kingdom. He personally wrote a letter to the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom. In the letter, he used fierce words and called the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom a despicable villain.

The old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom also quickly replied to Yelu Zong. In the letter, he did not admit that Yelu Hongfei's death and Yelu Honglin's assassination had anything to do with him. He said that someone was slandering them.

However, Yelu Zong did not believe it at all. The two emperors argued about it, and the relationship between the two countries became more tense.

The old emperor of Yanfeng would naturally not admit that Yelu Hongfei's death was related to their Yanfeng country. Although Yelu Hongfei was indeed killed by his people, according to the spy lurking in Moonlight City, the two captured assassins were not from their Yanfeng country at all. It was obvious that someone was deliberately framing them, but the person who framed them just happened to guess the right one.

Since it was not his people who were arrested, the old emperor of Yanfeng country could naturally deny this matter with full confidence.

This matter also caused a sensation between the two countries. Everyone was talking about it, but no one could be sure whether it was done by Yanfeng country.

However, whether it was or not, it was a fact that the relationship between the two countries became more tense.

Yelu Honglin, who was lying in bed recuperating, smiled triumphantly after hearing the news. After the assassination, Yelu Zong came to see him and asked him to have a good rest. In Yelu Honglin's opinion, he had cleared the suspicion in Yelu Zong's mind. He even gained the favor of Yelu Zong and some ministers because he caught the murderer who assassinated Yelu Hongfei.

In short, this plan was a win-win for him.

Those two assassins were naturally not from Yanfeng Country, but from Yelu Honglin!
