Qin Yunuan and Mu Qingyu looked at each other, Qin Yunuan knew that he and Leng Changxi had a lot of enemies along the way, but he didn't expect that there were people in this Western Xia Kingdom who dared to act so blatantly, thinking about it, who else would there be besides that person.

"It's Jing Yuanchu." Qin Yunuan sought Mu Qingyu's reaction in a half-guessing tone.

Mu Qingyu smiled lightly and said as a matter of course: "Otherwise? Who else but him. ”

"There is one thing I don't understand, why the thirteen princes can do so much evil in the palace, and he has done so many hurtful things, why is the emperor still so permissive to him?"

"Indulgence?" Mu Qingyu felt a little funny, but she also understood that people who didn't know Jing Yuanchu's true face, just like those ordinary people, had a surprisingly good reputation for the thirteen princes, "You just need to understand Jing Yuanchu with the thinking of the three princes of your Great Qi, unlike Sima Rui, Jing Yuanchu is more spineless, more scoundrel, and more disgusting than him." ”

Mu Qingyu said and spoke, her face began to become extremely ugly, her teeth began to tremble, Qin Yunuan was attracted by Mu Qingyu's unusual reaction, she observed Mu Qingyu's facial expression, and waited until Mu Qingyu took a deep breath and tried to calm down before she spoke softly: "County Lord, forgive Yunuan for being blunt, do you have any grievances with the Thirteenth Prince?" ”

"It's not just a grudge." Mu Qingyu stared viciously at the void in front of him, the warriors of the Shun Wangfu in front were dealing with the corpses of the assassins who were lying in ambush around, although this path was inaccessible, but if it was discovered, it would only be more troublesome.

"I can't wait to peel off his skin and cramp his tendons." Mu Qingyu, who has always been gentle, only finished saying this vicious sentence, and outside, Mu Qingyu's big maid knocked on the carriages, also three times, but the frequency and length were different from just now.

Then, the maid outside handed a note through the crack in the window, Mu Qingyu didn't guard against Qin Yunuan, when she opened it, she hurriedly glanced at it, and muttered to herself: "Father and cousin have also entered the palace?" ”

"How?" Qin Yunuan asked with concern.

"It's not a big deal, Madam Leng, I'm glad you were able to convince the emperor's uncle to cooperate with you today, but this operation is really too risky, are you sure that I don't need to send some people to protect you for the banquet in two days?"

"I have Changxi, I'm not afraid." Qin Yunuan said it very naturally, yes, Mu Qingyu sighed in her heart, now Qin Yunuan is the person on the tip of Leng Changxi's heart, Leng Changxi is only afraid that she would rather sacrifice her life than let people hurt Qin Yunuan's hair, what is she doing here;

The obstacle in front was cleared, Mu Qingyu first sent Qin Yunuan back to the post house, Qin Yunuan entered from an alley behind the post house along the back door, so as not to attract attention, but when he entered the alley, he found that there was a tall man in a sheepskin coat in front of him who was sneaky in this alley, as if he was looking for something.

At this time, Qin Yunuan was alone, and this alley went straight to her, she couldn't call for help to others, Qin Yunuan slowly squatted down, her fingertips buckled into the soft sand, and saw this man coming towards Qin Yunuan, Qin Yunuan looked carefully, this man had a scimitar stuck in his waist, this is a scimitar commonly used by Beidi people, this person is a Beidi person!

Just when this man was still a few steps away from Qin Yunuan, this man's keen sense of touch had already sensed that there were people around him.

"Who?"

Qin Yunuan obviously hid herself very well, she hid next to an abandoned oil drum at the mouth of this alley, but she was still discovered by this man, it seems that this man's martial arts are not bad, Qin Yunuan calmed down, she knew that this person was not good, not to mention that it was still a Beidi person, seeing that this man's shadow was slowly approaching by the sunset, just when Qin Yunuan estimated that this man was only one step away from her, she flashed out, ready to sprinkle the sand in her hand directly on the man's eyes, but this swaying action stopped abruptly.

"Leng Wu?" Qin Yunuan looked at Leng Wu, who looked like a homeless man in front of him, who had a big beard, a haggard face, and his hair that hadn't been taken care of for several days, and actually called out his name for the first time.

"Ma'am." Leng Wu on the other side was also very surprised, since the incident in Beidi, he followed all the way from Beidi, he only knew that his master Leng Changxi would definitely come to Xixia, but he didn't know when he would come back and where he would go after he came, just listening to the people on the street saying that there was a strange man who wore a mask every day in the post house, so he would come here to bang luck, but he didn't expect to meet Qin Yunuan just now.

The snow began to fall outside, and the goose-feathered snowflakes were falling one after another, and it was cold outside the house, and the charcoal fire had just been lit inside the house, slowly driving away the cold of this winter.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, a screen, a table of eight immortals in the corner of the east wall, a square table of pear blossom wood with teapots and teacups, and another table covered with rice paper There are a few brocade boxes on the table, which Xing'er just sent over, saying that the people under the thirteen princes recognized the wrong person in the palace, and mistook Leng Changxi as an assassin, hoping that the eldest princess and Leng Changxi would not mind.

The eldest princess's eyes didn't even glance at the pile of gifts, the twenty years she spent in the Savage Valley made her physique cold, she snuggled up to the brazier, Qin Yunuan put on a gown for the eldest princess, and asked softly, "Is it still cold?" ”

The eldest princess turned around, her eyes were clear and indifferent after being soaked in the water of the ice lake: "It was cold, but when I saw you, it was warm, I never thought that I would be able to see my child in my lifetime, and now Changxi is still taking you to filial piety to me, and I die without regrets." ”

"Mother," Leng Changxi said angrily, "You can't say such unlucky things. ”

"I thought you never believed this," the eldest princess looked at the son in front of her who had grown up to be a 'man' with tenderness, "I heard a lot of things about you along the way, how to be brave and decisive, how to survive in adversity, I thought that like my son, would not be superstitious about these." ”

"Superstition is not necessarily faith," Leng Changxi said with a smile, "It's just that people who have concerns in their hearts will think more." After speaking, Leng Changxi leaned towards the eldest princess, and subconsciously lowered his eyes to Qin Yunuan, who was leaning on the desk to collect those gifts.

Qin Yunuan casually looked at these so-called "apology gifts" that were sent;

"Jing Yuanchu this time, but he is willing to spend the capital" Qin Yunuan said with a stammer, "Snow ginseng, Tianshan snow lotus, Dongling rosemary, these are all priceless things, but these things are like covering up the things in the palace, is he too stupid, or too confident." ”

"He is too confident in his own deployment," Leng Changxi said as he brought Qin Yunuan a cup of freshly brewed hot tea to warm his hands, "He asked Xing'er to send these things, not to apologize to us at all, let alone to cover up the fact that he was raising power in the palace, he was telling us that he was already unscrupulous and fearless." ”

While speaking, Xing'er's announcement came from outside, and the three people in the room immediately became alert, Xing'er was Jing Yuanchu's person after all, and he also knew martial arts, so he had to guard against it.

"Young Master Leng, the coachman you are looking for is here." Xing'er immediately knocked on the door, Qin Yunuan opened the door, turned around and closed the door, so that Xing'er had no chance to look in at all.

"It's windy outside, the eldest princess has been sitting on the edge of the bed embroidering flowers today, and she has caught a cold, and she is afraid that the wind will pour in, so let's talk outside." Xing'er didn't know that the eldest princess had ever gone out, except in Jing Donghua's palace, the eldest princess entered the palace with Mu Qingyu, and then wore a human skin mask when she went out of the palace with Leng Changxi, even Jing Yuanchu really thought that his previous speculation and information were false, thinking that the eldest princess did not leave the post house, but Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan entered the palace to explore the way, so Jing Yuanchu seemed to feel that it was less difficult for him to do things.

Qin Yunuan looked at the coachman with thick eyebrows and big eyes following behind Xing'er, nodded and said: "This looks good, it is very stable, the eldest princess has always been very picky about riding in the carriage, and if the driving skills are not good, it will only upset the eldest princess's body, this one will be kept, His Royal Highness Thirteen said that the palace banquet in two days later will take the eldest princess to see the emperor, and at that time, this slave will drive the car." ”

"It's ......." Xing'er was a little embarrassed, because everything that day was arranged by Jing Yuanchu, from the guest list to the slave who drove the car, there was no room for error.

"What? Could it be that His Highness the Thirteenth wants to regret what he promised? ”

"Of course not." Xing'er argued.

"That's it," Qin Yunuan grabbed the words, and said to the coachman, "You come in with me, and I will explain some things to you." ”

This slave naturally obediently followed Qin Yunuan into the house, and as soon as he entered the house, waiting for the stars outside to be far away, this slave knelt down towards Leng Changxi, and his voice was almost trembling: "General, Leng Wu is back." ”

That's right, in order to make Leng Wu successfully enter the post house, Qin Yunuan can be said to have spent a lot of effort, Leng Changxi looked at the comrade-in-arms in front of him who had fought side by side countless times, took a deep breath, and then helped Leng Wu up: "You have worked hard all the way." In just a few words, it has been full of countless friendships.

After some comforting greetings, Leng Wu met the eldest princess again, and then mentioned Leng Wu's sudden departure from Beidi.

"General, what happened in the Savage Valley? Why is there such a large group of people who say that they are gone? Are you and your wife alright? Leng Wu held the hot tea, for many days, he hadn't eaten anything hot for many days.

"It's hard to say" Leng Changxi frowned, "However, if I hadn't deduced it wrong, all the people would have died in the Savage Valley, including Wan Yansu." "I still remember the whole mountain collapsing, and I think it's hard to survive.

"No" Leng Wu said categorically, "The fourth prince has returned to Beidi, I have seen it with my own eyes." ”
