Chapter 572 Lanling: Did you hide Chen Keyan?

After putting down the side curtain of the carriage, Su Xian frowned and thought for a moment, then immediately reported to Li Youqing:
"Princess, please cancel the checkpoints on the official roads of prefectures and counties near Yingzhou! It has been several months since those bandits last exposed their whereabouts."

"Presumably...the bandit leader has already fled back to Nanchen. If we continue to set up roadblocks on the official road, it will waste a lot of manpower and material resources..."

"..."

The smile on Princess Lanling's lips gradually faded away. Just now, when Su Xian looked outside through the side curtain of the carriage, she actually saw Juma on the side of the road.

She paused, looked at Su Xian meaningfully, and asked slowly: "I remember that I left the hunting of bandits to you, right?"

Su Xian had a bad premonition in his heart and replied: "Yes, the princess handed over the matter to me, but... I was incompetent and never managed to catch the bandits.

"inability?"

A teasing smile appeared on Princess Lanling's lips, and she said as if she was reminiscing: "I remember that it was June when I first arrived in Yingzhou."

"I am staying at the Hejian Inn. If Marquis Fan Yang hadn't discovered the thief's vicious plot, I would have been afraid... In the next few months, Marquis Fan Yang would have repeatedly performed extraordinary feats!"

"You were the one who proposed the 'method of claustrophobia' and pried open the mouth of the Liao's secret envoy; you were the one who found the place where the [-] Liao troops were hiding; the great victory in the Battle of Youzhou was also because of you."

"Let's go to the 'methods of chaos' and the methods to prevent the plague."

"In addition, there are also candy training, jade masks, etc..."

"The omnipotent Marquis Fan Yang failed to capture the bandits. This is really unbelievable!"

"..."

Princess Lanling stared at him with burning eyes, sparkling with wisdom and suspicion.

Su Xian glanced at him, his heart pounding. He always felt that Li Youqing had noticed something... This woman was not an ordinary woman and should not be underestimated.

He inadvertently lowered his eyes and used a bow to cover it up. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Princess, I am just an ordinary person. How can I do everything perfectly?"

"This makes sense..."

Princess Lanling withdrew her burning gaze. Even she had made many childish and ridiculous mistakes while climbing up the tower of power.

No one is perfect.

Seeing this, Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just when he was about to add another fire and ask Li Youqing to order the cancellation of the checkpoint, Princess Lanling suddenly looked sideways, with a sharp light in her eyes, and asked in a slightly cold voice:
"Could it be that Marquis Fan Yang has hidden the thief leader Xiao Xian Zi?!"

"..."

Su Xian was suddenly startled, and his heart was filled with turmoil. For a moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Princess Lanling finally realized this.

And said it directly to his face.

Although hiding Chen Keyan's secret was a last resort, they held each other's "lifeline" and no one dared to act rashly.

But from Princess Lanling's point of view, this is deception, and it is also a sign of "disloyalty".

It is necessary to be on guard against others. It is impossible for Su Xian to confess to her, so sending Chen Keyan back to Nanchen without anyone noticing is the best choice.

In the past few months, he had been careful to prevent this matter from being exposed.

At the same time, he also tried his best to help Li Youqing with his affairs, and there was no intention of making up for it.

Such a long time has passed, and he has kept Chen Keyan tightly covered and has not leaked any information...

But at the last moment, Princess Lanling had already left for Beijing, but she broke the news on the spot... Su Xian suddenly felt his scalp numb.

You know, the two princesses are incompatible with each other.

For a moment, Su Xian really wanted to abandon the car and run away.

Princess Lanling is a woman after all, and if she loses control of her emotions and is implicated in him, I'm afraid that the "hugging thigh" plan that has been worked hard for several months will be ruined.

He still had to run away and escape into the mountains and become a savage.

Damn it, isn't it that you have been busy for so long in vain?

Su Xian cannot accept such a result!
……

wrong!

Su Xian had experienced some big things and had grown up a lot. The city gradually became deeper and deeper. The moment his expression suddenly changed, he forced himself to calm down.

After calming down, he raised his eyes to look at Li Youqing opposite him.

Sure enough, there was suspicion in her eyes. She was not sure, she was just guessing that she was conducting a "surprise attack"... This was a psychological tactic, she was deceiving.

Oh shit!

He almost fell into this woman's trap.

Fortunately, Su Xian is no longer the Su Xian he was a few months ago.

Is there no trust between people... Well, they are the eldest brother, not to mention the second pot, everyone is the same.

"No!"

Su Xian refused flatly, with a solemn expression and a hint of grievance, and said angrily:
"I have never met the leader of the bandit, and she is from Nanchen, so she is very disrespectful to the princess... How could I keep such a person secretly? Please tell me, princess!"

"..."

Li Youqing's eyes flashed with a glimmer of scrutiny, and then his slightly cold expression softened, and he said softly: "I naturally trust you."

Su Xian immediately bowed: "Thank you for your understanding, princess... What are the checkpoints on the road?"

"Don't withdraw!"

Princess Lanling refused without thinking, her voice turned cold leisurely, she looked sideways in the direction of Nan Chen and said, "Even if that little bitch escapes back to Nan Chen, I will not evacuate!"

Su Xian shook his head secretly. He had already seen that the reason why Li Youqing did not cancel the level was not out of rational considerations, but to vent something.

A woman is a woman after all... After Su Xian shook his head slightly, he suddenly had a plan in mind and said to the princess: "Your Highness, I have some bad news..."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Li Youqing turned around to look, the coldness in his voice had disappeared.

"Two days ago, the silk stockings I told the princess about have been in some trouble recently. Maybe... I'm afraid I won't be able to make them in the short term. I'm very sorry about this!"

Princess Lanling was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. She thought about it in secret, and then comforted Su Xian and said: "It's okay, just do your best in everything."

"..."

Next, the two chatted about some trivial matters in the carriage. Before they knew it, the convoy had gone more than thirty miles, and it was time for Su Xian to go back.

He stood up and bowed: "Princess, take care along the way!"

Li Youqing smiled slightly and said: "Go back. After you enter the capital, remember to go to my palace as soon as possible. You have the gold medal given by me in your hand, and you can enter and exit the imperial city freely."

After saying goodbye again, Su Xian jumped off the carriage, mounted his horse, and retreated to the roadside.

Soon, the princess's motorcade disappeared at the end of the official road.

Su Xian was riding a horse, still watching from the side of the road. Behind him were the two bodyguards Yan Dashan and Yang Zhilan.

"Let's go, we should go back too!"

Su Xian had just urged the horse to turn around when a horse suddenly came running from the distance on the official road. When he got closer, he saw clearly that it was Qiu Dianjun. Qiu Dianjun stopped his horse and said:
"Master Marquis, the princess has one last word."

"Please say."

"The princess said that after she left Yingzhou and returned to Beijing, the Marquis will be her agent. There are some matters that have not been dealt with for a long time, and the Marquis can help the princess handle them."

"Okay, please reply to the princess, I understand!"

"Master Marquis, take your leave and see you in the divine capital city!"

After Qiu Dianjun rode away, Su Xian licked what she had just said.

After a while, he suddenly patted the horse's neck and laughed.

Yan Dashan and Yang Zhilan felt strange and asked Su Xian what was wrong.
Su Xian smiled and said:

"Let's go back to the city first. When we get back, I'll bother Dashan to go there in person and say that the princess has a fate: cancel all the checkpoints on the official road of Hebei Province!"
