Jiaochu

Yan Fei was taken around by the guards. When he came back, he saw Huo Xuan sitting in the tent and Ye Lingxi with a bouquet of flowers in front of her, her whole face darkened. He glanced at the two dragon shadow guards guarding the door. They also added fuel to the fire, saying that the princess had let him in.

When he came in, Huo Xuan stood up to say goodbye and thanked Ye Lingxi for inviting him to tea in front of Yan Fei. Yan Fei felt that the other person's face looked worse than Zhao Ce's.

After Huo Xuan left, Yan Fei sat down opposite Ye Lingxi, picked up the tea cup in front of him and put it next to him. Then He He took it away and winked at Ling Dang, who took Aunt Qiu to see that lunch was ready. No, the three of them left together.

When there were only two people left in the tent, Yan Fei stared at the bouquet of wild flowers and frowned unconsciously. Then Ye Lingxi picked up the flowers and handed them over and said, "Here you go." A strange look flashed across Yan Fei's face, but he couldn't accept it. After taking the flower, he turned around and handed it to Long Yingwei, asking him to see the horse. The subtext seemed to be to see if the horse wanted extra food.

Before Yan Fei asked them what they had said, Ye Lingxi took the initiative to explain that the conversation was about her eldest sister. She felt that the other party might know some inside information and planned to find another opportunity to explore the truth. Yan Fei disagreed and said no. , and explained the reason, saying that the identity of the assassin has not yet been found out, it may be that the other thief shouted to catch the thief.

Ye Lingxi felt that Huo Xuan took the initiative to mention her eldest sister, as if he wanted to reveal information to her, but Yan Fei didn't necessarily think that the other party was deliberately setting off smoke bombs.

The House of Anqing Marquis was extremely powerful in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Anqing Marquis married the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, who was the sister of the late Queen. His second brother was a general who ruled the country, and his third brother was a minister in the court. After Emperor Zhou ascended the throne, Anqing Marquis will The daughter was sent to the palace with the intention of competing for the throne. However, Emperor Zhou and Princess Duanyang were married and loved each other. Moreover, the latter had the support of Da Hui. As long as Emperor Zhou was not a coward, he would not have thought of deposing the queen. .

Now the arrival of the third princess, Ye Lingxi, may have caused the Hou Mansion to place a plan on her head.

Yanfei had a guess in his mind, but he couldn't say it in front of her, so he told her to be careful. The assassin's incident showed that someone could no longer hold back. He couldn't trust anyone until he saw Princess Duanyang.

"Is there any news from Mr. Qiu?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Yan Fei shook his head. Long Shadow Guard had not received the message yet. He concluded that the other party was under surveillance and could not deliver the message for the time being.

……

In the evening, the group arrived in the town, and Huo Xuan had someone book the best inn in the town in advance.

After dinner, Ye Lingxi went to the room upstairs to rest. Huo Xuan went out for a while, and when he came back, he happened to meet Yan Fei coming down the stairs.

"The young marquis is out?" Yan Fei asked casually, and Huo Xuan said, "Does the Yan guard also like to meddle in other people's business in Dahui? You are just a guard, and I don't need to report everything to you. But if If the princess wants to know," Yan Fei said as he looked up at Ye Lingxi's room upstairs, "the princess has rested." Huo Xuan said, "maybe the princess will invite me in for a cup of tea."

Yan Fei's face darkened. When Huo Xuan was about to step onto the stairs, he flashed his figure, and the next moment he blocked him in front of him with his sword drawn sideways. Before the sword was unsheathed, he repeated his previous words with a cold expression, "Princess I've already rested." Huo Xuan sneered, "Don't think I can't see it. People need to be self-aware and dare to miss the princess. Are you worthy of it?"

Ye Lingxi was sitting on the couch reading a book when she heard a clanging sound coming from outside, like someone was fighting. She listened and realized that the sound should be coming from downstairs. Ling Ding bravely sneaked to the door and quietly opened it. Looking outside, Hehe asked her nervously what she saw. Aunt Qiu was worried that there was another assassin. Lingdang turned around and hissed, whispering: "Young Master Yan and the young Marquis are fighting." The sound of fighting also alarmed the audience. When Su Shi opened the door and came out, the official had already hurried to the stairs, shouting in panic for Yan Fei to stop, for fear of hurting Huo Xuan, the young marquis, if the other party lost one. He couldn't even explain his hair after he returned.

Ye Lingxi also came out, and then Hehe and Lingdang brought out a chair. As soon as she sat down on the chair, the chief hurriedly ran to her side, talking about what to do, like a hot dog. The ants on the pot were anxious. She asked the chief official who he thought would win. How could the chief official think about it? She asked Su Shi, who came over, that she bet that Yan Fei would win. When the chief saw Ye Lingxi, he didn't stop the fight but instead He also bet on who would lose and who would win. He was so angry that he didn't count on her anymore and asked Su Shi to break up the fight.

"Brother Su doesn't know martial arts, so what if he is accidentally injured." She explained again, "Please be patient, sir. Brother Yan is sensible and will not injure the little Marquis."

Hearing the last four words, the chief official became so angry that smoke was almost coming out of his head.

The two of them slapped each other, and Huo Xuan took two steps back before standing firm. Yan Fei stayed where he was. Applause rang out from upstairs. When they looked up, they saw Ye Lingxi applauding. Seeing her still sitting on the chair watching the show, Yan Fei felt a little dumbfounded. She stood up and walked to the railing and said, "The young Marquis is indeed very skilled. He can withstand so many moves from Brother Yan."

Huo Xuan patted his sleeves and said with a smile, "It's just a discussion, there's no need to take it too seriously." Yan Fei said, "It's really not necessary." Huo Xuan glanced at Yan Fei with a gloomy expression and walked away. The chief official hurriedly got off. Lou followed him and asked him if he was injured. Huo Xuan stopped and glanced back at the chief, who was so frightened that he stood still.

Seeing Huo Xuan going to the backyard, the chief clerk kindly reminded him to rest early. Yan Fei kindly reminded the chief clerk that there were stables in the back and no one could sleep. Huo Xuan's gloomy expression became a little gloomier again, he opened the curtain and left.

After Yan Fei went upstairs, Ye Lingxi asked the two why they started to fight. He said that the other party needed to deal with it. Su Shi told Yan Fei to stop being reckless. Offending the Anqing Hou Mansion would not be beneficial to the trip. Yan Fei said that he knew better. Su Shi I won’t say much more.

At night, Yanfei thought that the other party would use some small tricks, such as sneak attacks in the east and west, to regain some face. At the same time, he had to be wary of another assassin appearing. He didn't sleep well all night. When it was dawn, he went out and soon Then he came back, sat in the lobby and waited for about a quarter of an hour, when there was movement in the room upstairs.

Then, Huo Xuan walked in from the door, as if he had spent the night outside, glanced at Yan Fei, and then went upstairs. When the person passed by him, Yan Fei smelled a trace of powdery smell remaining on the other person's body.

Then, two guards carried buckets upstairs, and then went downstairs carrying four empty buckets.

When Xiao Anzi came to deliver breakfast to Ye Lingxi, he told her that Huo Xuan just came back this morning and went to take a bath after coming back. After breakfast, Ye Lingxi came out of the room and happened to see Huo Xuan open the door and come out. The latter had changed his clothes, his hair was still a little wet, and he looked refreshed. He had obviously just taken a shower.

"Princess, how did you sleep last night?" He came over and asked, with a smile on his lips and looking a little excited.

Ye Lingxi nodded and took Aunt Qiu, Hehe and Lingdang downstairs first.
