Jiaochu

Chapter 343 Proposal

On the way, Concubine Lan asked tactfully, "Did Lingxi meet Princess An Ning yesterday?" She nodded, Concubine Lan smiled slightly and said, "Are you arguing?" Ye Lingxi was stunned for a moment, wondering what her mother-concubine was doing. It was obvious, "She wants to snatch my little rabbit." Then she changed the subject and talked about the prey her father had killed.

The next day, Concubine Xiao sent someone to invite An Ning to come over for tea, and An Ning came.

On the third day, An Ning went to the royal study, taking Afeng with him as a follower, but Lei Qi was still missing.

Ye Lingxi quietly hid outside the royal study and waited.

When she took out her telescope and looked forward, the slightly swaying light was immediately caught by those unruly eyes. The other person's gaze instantly became cold and cruel. She immediately put away her telescope, thinking that this guy was too... Be alert.

Afeng stared at the direction where Ye Lingxi was hiding with a cold expression. The next moment, he suddenly revealed a bad smile, turned around and walked towards Yan Fei, standing in front of him with a provocative and arrogant look, "I thought you were That little follower of the yellow-haired girl turned out to be..." He leaned over and said in Yan Fei's ear, "a guard dog."

Yanfei's expression suddenly turned cold, and the handle of the knife in his hand rattled.

"What, did I say something wrong?" Afeng continued to provoke.

With a whoosh, a small stone flew over and aimed at the back of someone's arrogant head.

Unexpectedly, the opponent fired a hidden weapon with his backhand, smashed through the stone, and aimed at the direction where Ye Lingxi was hiding.

Yanfei's expression tightened, and he didn't expect that the other party would dare to do something outside the imperial study room.

At the critical moment, there was just a ding-dong sound, and the hidden weapon was knocked away by another copper coin. Yanjiang opened his hand, and the copper coin fell back into his hand. He wiped the copper coin with his sleeve and put it into his sleeve.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Yan Fei immediately drew his sword and struck Afeng.

"Catch the assassin." Feng Du spoke up and led the other two people to besiege him.

The four of them joined forces, and Afeng was at a disadvantage.

Yan Fei stabbed him in front of his neck.

Until this moment, he was still provocative, "Kill me if you can. Let me see if you dare."

"All assassins will be killed without mercy." Yan Fei said.

Afeng snorted disdainfully.

"My little brother is quite brave. There hasn't been much going on in the Imperial City Department recently. It's just a good time to loosen my little brother's bones." Yan Jiang walked in with a relaxed expression and continued to say in a relaxed tone, "Tie the person and send him over. This The little brother is dishonest, feed him some Ruanjin Powder first." He took out a bottle from his sleeve and threw it to Feng Dutou, "This works well."

"Let me see who of you dares!" Faced with an old man like Yan Jiang, Afeng couldn't figure out his trump card, and he still couldn't calm down. However, the next moment he was speechless, and Yan Fei tapped his dumb hole.

Just as Feng Dutou was about to escort the man away, Eunuch De hurried out of the study and spoke a few words to Yanjiang alone. Yanjiang went over and said a few words in Yanfei's ear. Yanfei put the knife away but did not open the acupuncture point. But the moment Yan Fei put the knife into its sheath, a cold light aimed at his neck and slashed it.

"Go to hell."

The other party unblocked the acupuncture points at some point, and the next moment, Afeng was knocked to the ground by Yan Jiang's palm. He stood up and was about to fight Yan Jiang again, but was stopped by a voice.

"stop."

An Ning walked over from the study door, Afeng turned away, not wanting her to see his embarrassment.

Ye Lingxi quietly used a telescope to observe the situation outside the study, without having to worry about being attacked by hidden weapons. When he saw Yanjiang, he saluted An Ning, said a few words, and then An Ning took Afeng away.

Yan Fei stood guard at the door to prevent the other party from attacking him again. After seeing that the person was gone, he stopped for a while and glanced in the direction of Ye Lingxi when he went back. Then Eunuch De led Yan Jiang into the imperial study.

Ye Lanchen asked what was going on outside, and Yanjiang replied that it was children playing around. Ye Lanchen took out a letter and handed it to Yan Jiang. The letter had the jade seal stamped by the king of Qi.

"This is interesting. I want to propose marriage but I sent a princess here. Could it be that I came here to check out the candidate for the consort?" Yan Jiang added, "As far as I know, there are six princes in Qi State. The eldest prince and the second prince are already married. The third prince has also reached the age of crown, the fourth prince is about the same age as the second highness, the fifth prince is about the same age as the third prince, and the sixth prince is two years younger than the third princess, so he shouldn’t be in a hurry to get married." Yan Jiang touched his chin. "But the person asking for marriage is the third prince, the fourth prince, or the fifth prince. The letter didn't say that, this old cunning guy."

Ye Lanchen lightly scratched the cup twice, took a sip of tea, and asked about another matter, "Have you found out about the 300,000-strong army?"

Yanjiang replied: "After Weichen infiltrated the army and entered Tianmen Pass, a thick fog suddenly appeared. Weichen..." Speaking of this, Yanjiang frowned, as if he was remembering a bad memory.

"Is there something strange about the thick fog?" Ye Lanchen asked.

Yanjiang nodded, "It will cause hallucinations." He paused, "Wei Chen met my eldest brother." He clenched his fists, "It's that person, only that person can set up such a weird formation." He knelt down He continued, "Wei Chen must find that person and ask for the Emperor's permission."

"Get up first." Ye Lanchen said.

Yanjiang knelt down and couldn't get up.

"Do you still remember what you said when you took over Long Shadow Guard?" Ye Lanchen said.

Yanjiang replied: "Remember. Be loyal to the country and eliminate harm for the people."

"Long Shadow Guard is a sword, a sword for everyone in the world." Ye Lanchen said.

Someone once said this to him, Long Shadow Guard is the sword of the world, and he must never abandon the world for his own selfishness at any time.

……

When Ye Lingxi saw Yanjiang walking out of the study in the telescope, she stopped and looked at the sky for a while. Half of her silhouette looked a little weathered. She wondered if she had been punished by her father, right?

Yan Jiang went over and said a few words to Feng Dutou, then waved Yan Fei over and assigned him a secret mission. Yan Fei glanced in the direction where Ye Lingxi was hiding, and the next moment he was slapped on the back by Yan Jiang.

"Go quickly, go quickly."

Yanjiang waved Yanfei away.

When Ye Lingxi saw someone coming towards her, she looked happy. After putting away the telescope, she raised her hand to straighten her hair.

"Brother Yan, I'm here." She raised her hand and shook it.

After Yan Fei came over, he said, "I'll take the princess back."

Ye Lingxi nodded, and when she came down from the rockery, Yan Fei reached out to help her. He He and Ling Dang rushed to help her, not because they had any objections to Yan Fei, but because they were afraid of being taken advantage of. A few days ago, Zhu Er also told the two of them that men and women should be different and avoid suspicion. If any gossip spreads, the princess will be the one who suffers.

After sending Ye Lingxi back to Weiyang Palace, Yan Fei was about to leave but she stopped him.

"Brother Yan, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

She ran into the house to get something and quickly ran back, handed the thing to Yan Fei and ran away again. Yan Fei glanced at the small purse in his hand and put it in his arms, leaving with a smile on his face.
