The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion.

"Duke, His Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace immediately without delay."

The guard dismounted and handed over the order in the rain.

"Sir, I'll go prepare the carriage now."

Afu was holding an umbrella and was about to turn around when Ye Tiance's big hand pressed his shoulder.

"No need. I think His Majesty has important matters and wants me to enter the palace. I can't afford to delay."

"Afu, go get this young man a good horse."

"Yes, sir." Afu understood what his master meant in a second.

Ye Tiance took off his robe and walked straight into the rain.

Before the guard could come to his senses, Ye Tiance had already climbed onto his horse.

The blue-maned warhorse was obviously restless when it met a stranger riding it and began to pedal its hooves.

"Hmm?" Ye Tiance's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, his legs clamped tightly, and the terrifying aura pressed down, and the warhorse immediately became honest.

"Lord Duke..."

"Go!"

Before the guards could finish their words, Ye Tiance had already galloped towards the palace on his warhorse.

"Young man, follow me." Ah Fu apologized.

"Excuse me."

The guards bowed with a helpless look.

"Miss, someone from the palace came to summon Lord Duke to the palace, not His Highness."

Jinxiu put away the oil-paper umbrella and placed it beside the door. Xiaoxie stepped on the rags in front of the door to dry the water stains before entering the study.

"Summon grandpa to the palace?"

Some worry and disappointment appeared in Ye Liyan's beautiful eyes.

"Then continue, and try to finish it tomorrow."

"Okay, Miss." Jinlian took out the cloth that had just been put away.

Ye Liyan gently picked up the robe that had been formed for the most part, her eyes were full of autumn water, and her little face nodded seriously.

Make some adjustments tomorrow, and let His Highness try it the day after tomorrow.

Will His Highness like it? (/ω\)Shy

Prince Chu's Mansion.

Shen Yian came to the study room after returning to the mansion.

"Mendu, Chenghai, I'm going on a long journey for a few days." Shen Yian sat on a chair and called the two of them.

"Going on a long journey? Where are you going, Your Highness?" Mendu asked curiously.

Your Highness won't be traveling for several years again, right?

"Go to the northern border and deliver the imperial edict." Shen Yian put the imperial edict on the table.

This imperial edict is completely based on the old man's trust in him.

If this trip fails, the chain reaction it triggers is no joke.

Mendu and Chenghai were both stunned. Generally, such a long-distance imperial edict is handled by the people of the Wuwei Division, right?

What kind of imperial edict does it require your Highness to deliver in person?

"Don't think too much, I'm going there voluntarily." Shen Yian spoke to dispel the doubts of the two.

"Mendu, please replenish the items on the list. Make sure to prepare them. If you need anything, please contact the Chamber of Commerce directly."

"Also, if someone comes to see me, just tell them that I am not feeling well these days and I will temporarily close the door to visitors."

Mendu clenched his fist against his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I promise to complete and prepare everything beautifully."

Shen Yian smiled dumbly. If he could make hot weapons, he would definitely equip Mendu with a Gatling gun.

"Cheng Hai, I am not here these few days, so you have to work harder inside and outside the palace."

Cheng Hai bowed his hands: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Cheng Hai promises to clean up those blind guys."

"Yes."

Shen Yian nodded, explained some things, and let the two leave.

"Your Highness." Yin Zai and Fu Sheng appeared.

"Yin Zai, tell Shen Jun, Bai Shi, and E Lai to go to Saibei City immediately and wait for orders."

Fu Sheng's face changed slightly. His Highness actually gathered these three adults.

"Send a message, have the Chamber of Commerce return all the purchased horses to the interior as quickly as possible, and order all caravans to suspend all transactions with the barbarian merchants and withdraw to the interior."

"Your Highness, the message has been sent."

In less than half a cup of tea, Yin Zai, who had successfully sent a message thousands of miles away using a secret method, returned to the study.

"Your Highness, is there going to be a war?" Yin Zai said hoarsely.

"It's a done deal. With my father's character, he won't miss this opportunity." Shen Yian took a breath and told the two of them what he was going to do.

Yin Zai and Fu Sheng were stunned.

Your Highness is going to personally assassinate the head of a country? !

"Your Highness, let me do this!" Yin Zai asked.

The meaning of his existence is to become the sharpest blade in your Highness's shadow, clearing all troubles for your Highness in the dark.

How can you let your Highness take risks when the sharpest blade is not broken yet? !

"No, this matter must be done by me personally."

"The situation in the Barbarian Capital is very complicated. Even if it is a hidden disaster, you will have a high probability of dying." Shen Yian looked at the two of them with a serious tone.

He had been to the Barbarian Kingdom and accidentally learned that there were several old monsters hiding in the Barbarian Capital. He didn't know if they were still alive.

Fu Sheng's pupils slightly twitched.Shrink, even Lord Yinzai has a high probability of death? !

How dangerous is the Barbarian Country? !

Yinzai said nothing and went to the Barbarian Country alone to assassinate the Barbarian Lord. He was less than 50% sure.

Even if the assassination was successful, it would be difficult to escape.

"So I have to take you and the three of you to protect me."

Shen Yian said that he never fought an unprepared battle.

The old man's words today made him more stable, and he must come back intact to marry the silly girl.

Yinzai nodded. It felt a bit of an exaggeration for the four of them plus the prince to kill a Barbarian Lord.

To put it bluntly, even the Emperor Wu couldn't resist this lineup.

"Fu Sheng, you will be in charge of the mansion during my absence."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After arranging everything, Shen Yian looked at the gradually decreasing rain outside the door and thought about it.

I have to think of a reason to tell the silly girl, so that she won't worry again when I'm away for a few days.

In the evening, the heavy rain stopped, leaving a rainbow bridge hanging in the sky, reflecting the red clouds in the distance, which was indescribably beautiful. The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Zhenguogong Mansion.

After getting off the carriage, Shen Yian called Ah Fu to lead a few servants to move the things off the carriage.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Ah Fu looked at the copper hot pot in his hand with some surprise. It looked like a hot pot, but it was different.

"This is a copper hot pot, which is slightly different from a hot pot." Shen Yian explained with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Shen Yian learned that Ye Tiance had not returned since entering the palace.

It seems that his old man is determined to take the opportunity to deal with the barbarians.

He speculated that the first place where the old man would start the operation was Liaodong.

In the past, when the father and son talked at night, he talked about the advantages and disadvantages of Liaodong. The old man clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with heat.

From that moment on, he knew that Liaodong would be included in the territory of Daqian sooner or later.

His second brother Shen Junyan has been stationed in Liaodong for so many years, as if he was preparing for now.

As the saying goes, the food and grass must go before the troops move.

Such a large-scale mobilization is likely to make the messengers of the Wuwei Division busy.

No matter, no matter, these are things that the old men should think about, why should he worry about it.

Spend more time with the silly girl tonight, and he should set off before dawn tomorrow.
