The two rushed back to the outskirts of the city in the evening, and along the way, Feng Yu was thinking about Feng Yi's assassination and the corruption of state officials, thinking too seriously, and going the wrong way several times.

Every time, Xiao Yan stopped her, and then walked beside her with the things she bought, afraid that she would accidentally fall into the ditch.

Back at the old man's house, Feng Yu handed over all the food she bought to the old man, and originally wanted to help the old man cook together, but was rejected by the old man, so Feng Yu went back to the house to talk to Feng Yi.

Xiao Yan saw Fengyu coming in, and quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Tired, drink some water first." ”

Skillfully took the cup, Feng Yu drank it in one go, and then said: "There is nothing to gain today, why don't we go to the city again tomorrow?" ”

"It's up to you." Xiao Yan looked at her with a smile and said.

Feng Yu nodded, then looked at Feng Yi and said, "Brother, how is your injury?" Does it still hurt? ”

"Don't worry, Xiao Yan gave me medicine yesterday, and it's out of the way." Feng Yi said with a smile, and then looked at Xiao Yan, who was peeling chestnuts, "When will the team arrive?" ”

"According to their footsteps, it will take two days." Xiao Yan said without raising his head, put the peeled chestnuts on the plate, and then handed them to Fengyu.

Feng Yu was not polite, picked up the chestnuts and ate them, and after eating a few, she said to Xiao Yan: "Don't patronize me, you can eat it yourself." ”

"I don't like to eat chestnuts." Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile, and continued to peel chestnuts and put them on the plate in front of Feng Yu.

"Then buy something else next time." Feng Yu said with a normal face.

Xiao Yan looked at her gently, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Feng Yi, who was sitting next to him, watched the two of you come and go, and he didn't feel strange in his heart, and looked at them and said, "When did you become so familiar?" ”

In a word, the two people who were eating happily and peeling happily stopped moving, and then looked at each other.

Feng Yu took the lead in looking away, facing Feng Yi's inquiring eyes, she didn't know how to answer, and suddenly, Feng Yu had a flash of inspiration and said, "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell my brother." ”

"What's the matter?"

Feng Yi's attention was really attracted, and Xiao Yan, who was sitting opposite, looked at Feng Yu and smiled a little, and continued to bury his head in peeling chestnuts.

"Does my brother know why my father asked Xiao Yan to come to Jiangnan to replace you?"

"I don't know." Feng Yi shook his head, and the next moment, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, "Could it be that my father sent you another task?" ”

Xiao Yan shook his head silently, Feng Yu smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Not really." ”

"Why is that?"

If it weren't for Xiao Yan and them, Feng Yi wouldn't have known that the emperor wanted Xiao Yan to come to Jiangnan to replace him, after all, he had been assassinated before they came.

"The ministers of the court forced their father to appoint Fenglin as the crown prince."

"What?!" Feng Yi looked at Feng Yu in surprise, and the next moment, he slapped the table violently.

"How dare those courtiers persecute their father!"

Xiao Yan, who had been silent, stopped peeling chestnuts, looked at him and said: "The emperor is also difficult to ride a tiger now, and those ministers have obviously discussed it, although it is a proposal, but in fact, it has already put pressure on him, and it is not easy to deal with." ”

Feng Yi was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly became ugly, "What does the father think?" ”

"What do you think? What do you think, can't my brother see it? Feng Yu looked at him with a little headache and said, "If my father has the heart to make Fenglin the crown prince, will he let Xiao Yan replace you and let you return to Beijing quickly?" ”

"What do you mean......" Feng Yi looked at Feng Yu with some uncertainty, "My father wants me to return to Beijing and compete with Feng Lin for the crown prince." ”

The atmosphere was suddenly a little delicate, Feng Yu fell silent, she knew that Feng Yi had always valued family affection, if she wanted him to fight with Feng Lin to the death, it was estimated that he would not be willing.

Xiao Yan glanced at Feng Yu and said in a deep voice: "Now the courtiers are forcing the emperor to appoint the second prince as the crown prince, but the emperor asked you to return to Beijing at this time, indicating that the emperor intends to make you the crown prince." ”

"Even if the emperor has no intention of making you the crown prince, it can at least be seen that the emperor does not want to make the second prince the crown prince."

Feng Yi's face became a little heavy, Feng Yu was afraid that he would think too much and wrap himself in, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, let's not think nonsense here, we will heal your injuries first, and then join the team and escort you back to Beijing." ”

"The princess is right." Xiao Yan also nodded approvingly, "We don't know the mastermind behind the assassination yet, and looking at their appearance, it doesn't seem that they plan to stop." ”

"So before we return to the capital, we are all in danger, and we still have to be careful."

Feng Yi didn't speak again, and he didn't know what was wrong, after hearing that the courtiers forced the emperor to appoint Feng Lin as the crown prince, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

After dinner, when it was time to go to bed, the problem came again.

There was only one idle room left in the old man's house at this time, and the old man didn't know that Feng Yu was a woman dressed as a man, so he arranged her and Xiao Yan in the same room.

Feng Yi disagreed after hearing it, although he knew Xiao Yan's personality and knew that he wouldn't do anything to Feng Yu, but he felt that this kind of thing was bad for Feng Yu's reputation.

But Fengyu felt that the current situation was special, and she didn't want to embarrass the old man, besides, the children of the rivers and lakes were informal.

So in the end, it was still the same as when I was in the inn before, one person and one bed, and no one could touch anyone.

There are many mosquitoes in the suburbs at night, Fengyu is lying on the bed and sleeps very restlessly, Xiao Yan saw this, so he got up and leaned on the head of the bed, and helped Fengyu wave away mosquitoes with his hands.

Just as Xiao Yan was fascinated by Fengyu, there was a sudden movement outside the door, and Xiao Yan, who had always been alert, immediately realized that something was wrong, and got up and looked at the door vigilantly.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door, two light and two heavy, and the code indicated that it was his own person. Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Feng Yu, and then walked over and opened the door, and outside the door was the spy who was looking for information.

"Got news?"

The spy clasped his hands into fists, bowed his head and said, "General, my subordinates have discovered the assassin's whereabouts. ”

"Where?" Xiao Yan said in a low voice, during which he glanced back at Fengyu on the bed, as if he was afraid of disturbing her.

"It's an inn in the south of the city."

"How many people are there on the other side?"

The spy shook his head in embarrassment, "The exact number of people has not yet been clarified, but there are at least ten or more people." ”

Xiao Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said to the spy: "You go back first and continue to star, and I will go again tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

After the spies left, Xiao Yan sat back on the edge of the bed and continued to help Fengyu drive away mosquitoes, seeing that she was sleeping comfortably and showing a smile, she couldn't help but smile.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Xiao Yan didn't have time to tell Fengyu about what the spies had found last night, and Zhao Qingping came to the door.

"News so soon?"

Feng Yu looked at Zhao Qingping standing in the courtyard in surprise, although she did have hopes pinned her hopes on him, but she didn't expect that there would be news so soon.

"Yes." Zhao Qingping nodded, shook his head again, and said, "But it's not news from the state capital." ”

Feng Yu took the tea handed by Xiao Yan, took a sip, looked at Zhao Qingping and said, "Then what did you find?" ”

"We've found a group of people who are acting suspiciously, and it's likely that they're the ones selling Jinchuang Medicine."

Feng Yu didn't expect news of the assassins to come so soon, and hurriedly asked, "Where are they?" ”

"It's an inn just south of the city."

Seongnam Inn?

Feng Yu took a few ingots of silver from Xiao Yan and handed them to Zhao Qingping, and said to him: "You did a good job, and next, you continue to inquire about the news of the state capital." ”

"Whether it's embezzling money or buying or selling official positions, as long as you find out, come and tell me."

"Okay, I'll go back to the city and continue to inquire." Zhao Qingping bent down and saluted, then turned to leave.

"It seems that the person I am looking for is quite reliable, and I have found the whereabouts of the assassin in just one day."

Feng Yu looked at Xiao Yan with some pride, Xiao Yan looked at her and smiled dotingly, and said, "Yes, the princess has always been smart and clever. ”

Receiving Xiao Yan's praise, Feng Yu couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, Feng Yi, who was standing under the eaves, looked at the two people who were looking at each other, and couldn't help but have some conjectures in her heart.

Without further ado, Feng Yu and Xiao Yan immediately rushed back to the city, they wanted to go to the south of the city first to find out the bottom of the city, to see if they could find a chance to cure them first.

But unexpectedly, not long after the two entered the city, they found their wanted warrant on the street.

Feng Yu looked at the person on the portrait, then turned her head to look at Xiao Yan, and asked, "Is this me?" ”

"It's you."

"Tut-tut, not at all." Feng Yu pursed her lips unhappily, looked at the portrait and said, "I'm much more beautiful than in the painting." ”

Xiao Yan looked at her and smiled dotingly, and said, "It's because their painting skills are too poor, and when I go back, I will paint the princess myself." ”

"Okay." Feng Yu nodded happily, then looked at the portrait and thought for a long time, and wondered: "However, how did we become wanted?" Who did this? ”

Xiao Yan looked at the content written next to the portrait, "In my opinion, this should be Zhao Xu's handwriting." ”

"Zhao Xu?" Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, then glared at the wanted warrant and said with a look of resentment: "It's him again." It seems that I came to Jiangnan this time, and I really dealt with him, and I have to come to the death to die. ”

"He doesn't deserve it from you." Xiao Yan's eyes deepened, as if he remembered the last time Zhao Xu teased and insulted Feng Yu on the street.

"So what do we do now?"

"This city is full of notices of our capture, and I expect that soon the assassins will know that we are in Jiangnan, so we have to do it before they do."

After Xiao Yan finished analyzing, he immediately contacted the spies and wanted him to strike first.

Unexpectedly, after the spy appeared, the first thing he said was: "General, my subordinates have something to report." ”

Although the spy hadn't said what was going on, Xiao Yan could already tell from the expression on his face that it wouldn't be a good thing.

"Say."

"The assassin who landed at the Chengnan Inn last night suddenly disappeared."

Xiao Yan's face instantly became gloomy, he looked at Feng Yu, his brows furrowed, "It seems that we are still a step late." ”
