"The Eighteenth Prince, Weichen is about to leave Xiangzhou Mansion and go to Lingnan to preside over the Lingnan War, originally thought that the Eighteenth Prince would accompany the army, but considering that the Eighteenth Prince's injury has not yet healed, if this is the case, it is likely to lead to the recurrence of the injury." Shen Yan and Gao Yong came to the place where the eighteenth prince rested together, and at the same time asked Tong Shaohua and Huang Weiqian and others to call together, Shen Yan wanted to take this opportunity to make a general deployment of the affairs of Xiangzhou Mansion before leaving, and as for the details, it was left to others to deal with.

After Huang Weiqian and the others all arrived, a touch of contemplation flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and then a faint smile appeared on his face, glanced at Xia Yuanxu, and said slowly.

"The waiter said, this prince's injury is nothing." Hearing that Shen Yan was about to leave him behind, a complicated look flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and then a trace of sincerity appeared on his face, glanced at Shen Yan, and said loudly.

Xia Yuanxu understood that Shen Yan's starting point was for his own good, after all, he had injuries on his body, and running to Lingnan so bumpy was indeed not conducive to his own injuries, but relative to this, Xia Yuanxu felt that staying in Xiangzhou Mansion would only make him feel hot, after all, what he did here would only become a laughing stock for others after dinner, even if he heard these rumors, he couldn't do anything to these people, he couldn't do the stupid thing that preventing the people was better than preventing Sichuan, once he really did it, Let's not talk about whether I am still qualified to win the heir, it is estimated that if I don't have to return to Jinling, I will be scolded by my father and even circled.

Xia Yuanxu thought of this possibility, so he showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and looked at Shen Yan indifferently, hoping that Shen Yan could take him away.

"Rest assured, the Eighteenth Prince, it is not a simple matter to let you stay to recuperate, you also have to shoulder a very important task." As if sensing the thoughts in Xia Yuanxu's heart, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, glanced at Xia Yuanxu lightly, and said slowly.

"Oh." Hearing Shen Yan's words, Xia Yuanxu felt that Shen Yan was perfunctory, and with a hint of loss on his face, he said softly.

"Don't worry, I won't be perfunctory to you, there is indeed a very important matter for you to deal with." It seemed that he felt Xia Yuanxu's emotions, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"Please speak." Listening to Shen Yan's comforting words, Xia Yuanxu's eyes flashed with a trace of spirit, and with a hint of hope, he said slowly.

"The emperor sent a secret decree to Weichen earlier, which mentioned that Gu Chaoru and Chen Zhi'an should be escorted back to Jinling in advance to be interrogated by the three divisions." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he glanced at Xia Yuanxu indifferently, feeling that Xia Yuanxu's expression at the moment was like a child, and said with a smile.

"Escort Gu Chaoru and Chen Zhi'an back to Jinling, this matter is just left to others to do, why should it be handed over to this prince?" Xia Yuanxu heard Shen Yan's words, a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't seem to understand how important this matter was, this matter could be dealt with if it was thrown to Tong Shaohua or Huang Weiqian, why did Shen Yan have to throw it to himself.

"It seems that the Eighteen Princes didn't understand the hidden mystery here." Hearing Xia Yuanxu's words, Shen Yan smiled indifferently, a friendly smile appeared on his face, and explained patiently.

"Gu Chaoru is the governor of Sanpin, Chen Zhian is the general soldier of Sanpin, does the eighteenth prince think that Governor Tong or Huang Weiqian can suppress the two of them?" When Shen Yan said this, he glanced at Xia Yuanxu indifferently, as if waiting for Xia Yuanxu to digest the meaning of his words, and then continued.

"In terms of grade, neither Governor Tong nor Huang Weiqian can suppress these two, unless there are people with a higher grade than the two of them, among the few of us, I have this qualification slightly, but I have to go to Lingnan to preside over the battle over there, so the remaining candidates are only the eighteen princes, although you can't compare with the two of them in terms of grade, but you are worthy of the identity of the prince, therefore, Gu Chaoru and Chen Zhian must not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the eighteen princes."

"But......" Xia Yuanxu seemed to want to defend something, but when the words reached his throat, he didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, I will let the three Ouchi guards stay to protect the Eighteen Princes, and at the same time temporarily serve as the Eighteen Princes' guards." Although Shen Yan did not have the authority to ask the Ouchi guards to do things, once it involved the identity and safety of the prince, coupled with the previous performance of the three Ouchi guards, as long as Shen Yan opened this mouth, it was really difficult for the three of them to refuse anything.

"It is estimated that the people sent by the emperor will arrive in Xiangzhou Mansion in about three days, and then the eighteenth prince will hand over the people to the other party." Shen Yan thought about it and said slowly.

"The eighteen princes can take this opportunity to return to Jinling together, of course, if the eighteen princes are not willing to go back first, then continue to stay in Xiangzhou Mansion to recuperate, and wait for Weichen to solve the battle situation in Lingnan, and then welcome the eighteen princes to return to Jinling with Weichen."

"Waiter, this prince has decided to wait for you to deal with the battle situation in Lingnan and go back to Jinling with you." A hint of contemplation flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, although he felt that Shen Yan's words were a bit far-fetched, but since Shen Yan had made this decision, he could only accept it head-on, but if he wanted to let himself go back to Jinling in advance, Xia Yuanxu didn't do anything, once he returned to Jinling first, his father asked him about the harvest of this trip to Huaibei County, and he really couldn't give a perfect answer.

"That's fine." Shen Yan immediately guessed Xia Yuanxu's thoughts, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"After I leave, everything in Xiangzhou Mansion will have to be taken care of by Lord Tong." After Shen Yan finished talking to Xia Yuanxu, a faint contemplation appeared in his eyes, and then he glanced at Tong Shaohua and said lightly.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, it is the duty of the lower officials to govern the Xiangzhou Mansion." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a trace of contemplation flashed in Tong Shaohua's eyes, it can be said that Tong Shaohua didn't expect Shen Yan to leave suddenly, which seemed to completely break the previous expectations, but despite this, Tong Shaohua had already nodded slightly and replied loudly.

"Don't worry, Huang Weiqian will let him stay for a period of time, one is to assist you in dealing with the affairs of the Xiangzhou Mansion, the second is to clean up the aftermath of the Ling family and the Xu family, the third is to help continue to rectify the Xiangzhou Mansion Army, and the fourth is to accumulate experience for the future governance party." Shen Yan glanced at Tong Shaohua lightly and said his intention to leave Huang Weiqian.
