Chapter 397: Firmness

"This ......"

Yuan Yan knew this, but now he is very entangled, when he was drunk before, he was persuaded by Cheng Xiaoyan to agree, but with Xiao Yechen's thunderous methods these days, his heart is always hanging, and he has never let go.

But now that he heard Cheng Xiaoyan's words, he began to hesitate again, Xiao Yechen's attitude towards the family was all in their eyes, and now that he had just ascended the throne, he dared to do so when his foundation was still unstable, if it was in the future, wouldn't it be even worse. As long as he thought that there would be this possibility, Yuan Yan's heart rose again.

He hesitated, and after half a sound, he said: "What you said is reasonable, but now these families, I am the only one to cooperate with you, once it is reversed, it will definitely not be able to withstand the army, besides, An Mingxun has returned to Beijing, there are tens of thousands of troops outside the city, and these strategies of ours are not worth mentioning in the face of huge troops." ”

This is exactly what Yuan Yan was worried about, if before, there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Beijing, he could still lead the dead soldiers to the palace to hold Xiao Yechen hostage, but now that An Mingxun is back, what are the chances of winning?

Yuan Yan was able to develop the Yuan family to this point because of his ability to see the wind and steer the rudder, so after sensing that the wind was not in the right direction, he immediately wanted to break his original promise.

"Lord Yuan, do you think it's too late for you to regret it now?" Cheng Xiaoyan still has a soft smile on her face, but this smile looks very strange on this face.

Yuan Yan knocked on the table, he looked at Cheng Xiaoyan and said, "Xiaoyan, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the involvement of this matter is indeed too big." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyan sneered in her heart, of course she knew that this matter was widely implicated, but this was not the reason why Yuan Yan could leave, now was the critical time, Yuan Yan still had a lot of things in her hands, and she couldn't leave easily.

So Cheng Xiaoyan paused, her big watery eyes were full of cunning, and said, "Lord Yuan, since the six princes can contact you, they can naturally contact other people, the Chen family, and the Huang family have all agreed." The century-old glory of our family cannot be destroyed in the hands of Xiao Yechen! ”

As soon as he heard Cheng Xiaoyan say this, Yuan Yan suddenly thought of the scene where Cheng's house was raided at that time, and there were hundreds of people in the house, and they were all gone...... If he followed Xiao Yechen again, wouldn't the Yuan family also fall to this fate?

Never! The Yuan family must not repeat the mistakes of the Cheng family!

But as soon as he thought about it, Yuan Yan's eyes immediately became indifferent, and he said with a calm face: "I was fascinated by ghosts, I would have such thoughts, Xiaoyan, don't worry, I will definitely do everything that the six princes order." ”

Seeing that Yuan Yan agreed, Cheng Xiaoyan's heart finally let go, and when she saw Yuan Yan leave, a figure appeared in the room in a blink of an eye, it was Shen Tao.

"Miss, but if you want to go down and ...... him"

Shen Tao stared at the back of Yuan Yan leaving, his eyes were churning with murderous intent, and he made a movement to wipe his neck.

After hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyan took a sip of the tea in the cup, and then said slowly: "It's useful to keep him, besides, the six princes have told us to win over these families, if Yuan Yan dies, how can others believe us?" ”

Her words finally made Shen Tao suppress the killing intent in his heart, but he was a little worried: "But he has already retreated, what if he escapes?" ”

"Don't worry, Yuan Yan is a smart person, he knows what to do and what not to do." Cheng Xiaoyan shook her head and said in a low voice: "For such a person, as long as we have enough interests, he is naturally willing to use it for us." ”

"Miss is smart." Shen Tao praised, full of admiration for Cheng Xiaoyan in his heart.

Yuan Yan walked out of the teahouse, always felt that there was a line of sight behind him, he subconsciously looked back, only to see some Confucian scholars who were talking and laughing, and when he turned around and came back, that line of sight was gone.

I guess I was wrong.

He was stunned in his heart, put this episode behind him, and went directly to the Chen family.

And just after Yuan Yan left, a man dressed as a scholar walked out of the teahouse, he looked at the direction Yuan Yan left, a touch of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly whispered a few words to his companions beside him.

The two separated, and he followed Yuan Yan away, while his companion walked towards the palace gate.

In Chenyang Palace, Du Yan and Xiao Yechen were discussing with An Mingxun how to defend, Leng Yan hurriedly walked in at this time and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Yan has moved." ”

Hearing this, the three of them all changed from their original smiling expressions to become solemn.

Du Yan's eyes shone slightly, her slender fingers clenched the armrest, and her cold eyes looked straight at Leng Yan, and said, "He has a connection with Cheng Xiaoyan?" ”

The spy who had been following Yuan Yan said, seeing him enter the teahouse, and then an extremely thin man also entered, the man was a little shorter than ordinary men, and he thought it was Cheng Xiaoyan. Then, Yuan Yan went to Chen's house again. ”

"In this way, this person should be Cheng Xiaoyan, I don't know what the two discussed." Du Yan looked at Leng Yan.

However, Leng Yan shook his head at this time, a little embarrassed: "Then there has always been a person with strong martial arts beside Cheng Xiaoyan, who can't get close at all, and there is no way to know what they talked about." ”

Du Yan lowered her eyes with some disappointment, but at this moment Xiao Yechen said coldly: "I think Cheng Xiaoyan should let Yuan Yan go to the Chen family, the Chen family is a century-old family, and the relationship between the Chen family and the Cheng family is very good, thinking about it, the Chen family is also very likely to cooperate with Xiao Wenqing." ”

"These things are eaten inside and out!"

An Mingxun listened to these words, and couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, he never thought that these families would dare to betray Xiao Yechen and cooperate with Xiao Wenqing's anti-thief.

"And that's to be expected." Xiao Yechen slowly knocked on the handrail, his eyes were extremely cold, he had already decided

When he decided to attack the Cheng family and decided to weaken the power of the family, he had already expected this result.

It's just that these families are moving much faster than he thought.

Du Yan suddenly said at this time: "Since the fall of the Cheng family, I thought that these families would be more peaceful, but I never thought that they would become even more intense, if so, it will also benefit us." ”

Saying that, Du Yan winked at Xiao Yechen, a pair of cold eyes were full of smiles at this moment, she smiled slyly, and said: "If the Yuan family and the Chen family are really opposed, they will inevitably kill these two people and make an example, then you will be able to establish prestige among the ministers, and if you have a little more, the vacated official positions can be appointed to civilians." ”

After she said this, she looked at Xiao Yechen again, in fact, Xiao Yechen had already thought of this, but what came out of Du Yan's mouth had a different meaning, he smiled lowly, his eyes were as gentle as promise, and he only smiled: "Yan'er is really smart." ”

An Mingxun on the side looked at the two of them, sighed a few times, and said, "In this way, you have a way to solve the great drought in the south of the Yangtze River?" ”
