In the forty-third year of Tianyan Yuanming, in the autumn, the crown prince Li Yan was ordered to encircle and suppress the bandits and bandits who had been wandering in South China Road for a long time.

The banditry in South China has been plagued for a long time, and the imperial court has sent people to encircle and suppress them on many occasions, and bandits and mountain bandits have been running around to commit crimes and their whereabouts are uncertain, and the encirclement and suppression by officers and men has always only exterminated a small group of bandits, and cannot be eradicated.

Above the court, all kinds of impeachment and framing have been written, waiting for the prince's defeat to be presented to the Son of Heaven, as a strong evidence of suppressing the prince's faction, and the courtiers who support the prince's faction are also thinking hard about how to deal with this unfavorable situation.

However, to everyone's surprise, the prince arranged his troops with only 3,000 troops, and attacked Qingfeng Village with a surprise attack on Qingfeng Village, exterminated 20,000 bandits, and won a complete victory to defeat Qingfeng Village, a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Only Li Yan and the soldiers who participated in the encirclement and suppression at that time knew the real reason, Li Yan sent troops to use the hanging basket in the back mountain to sneak into the cottage, and led his troops to attack from the front mountain, originally wanting to take the cottage in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the war was won, countless bandits suddenly entered from outside the mountain, advancing and retreating calmly, well-trained, if it weren't for the clothes on their bodies, no one would suspect that they were in the army.

Li Yan remembered some rumors that caught the wind and shadows, and suddenly understood, and he sighed and couldn't wait.

A sound of the piano sounded, the tune was like a clear and clear, in this noisy battlefield did not reduce the momentum at all, the soldiers who were still in a state of decline just now heard the sound of the piano, changed their tired mood and were greatly encouraged, raised their swords and halberds to continue to kill the enemy.

The sound of the piano suddenly became low and quiet, as if the endless grievances lingered, and it was too late for the leader of the thief army to realize that something was wrong, and the bandits who were besieging the officers and soldiers were slow, confused, and had no intention of fighting.

Seeing this, Li Yan immediately ordered an attack, and finally beheaded all the thieves in front of the mountain.

After the victory, Li Yan asked the class to return to the court, Mu Wanyi went to South China Road to collect the bones of her deceased father and buried them, and was unwilling to follow, just wanted to go to Yuzhou to continue to find relatives, Li Yan sent his own guards to accompany him to protect.

Looking at Mu Wanyi's carriage in the distance, Li Yan had a complicated mood, he had sent people to investigate the matter of Tianyinqin in many ways, but found nothing. The facts of Tianyinqin are in front of him, and Mu Wanyi's life experience is clear at a glance, and there are no other mysteries hidden in between, no matter how he finds them, but Mu Wanyi's ability is real.

In addition, if this person is someone else, he can still make a clear decision, but this person is Mu Wanyi, he can't make a decision.

On the one hand, he wanted to show Mu Wanyi's ability in front of the world and consolidate his position as the crown prince, although he was the crown prince, but the battle for the throne had never stopped, and several of his brothers were eyeing this position.

On the other hand, he can't wait to hide Mu Wanyi from anyone, not only her beauty, her kindness, and her ability, but he doesn't want people to know, because this is also his beloved woman.

His status is destined to not give her an ordinary life, or even a peaceful life, but he doesn't want to let go.

For the time being, he can't let Mu Wanyi's ability be exposed too early, he doesn't want to involve Mu Wanyi in the court dispute, which will bring her too much danger.

Then, he has to work hard, try to fight for that position, for himself, for her, for their future.

Along the way, Mu Wanyi had a lot of thoughts, these days get along day and night, the two of them are secretly in love, I thought that I would meet a lover, and I was happy in my heart.

But I don't want Li Yan to be His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince, so far away, thinking of their future, it is really sad and hateful. Before leaving, Li Yan promised to come to Yuzhou to pick her up. And she longed for him to come, but she was afraid of him coming.

With the escort of the prince to be guarded, the road was really smooth, and it took a few days to arrive in Yuzhou.

Although the old lady of the Xie family was disgusted with her only daughter's unexpected marriage, and her daughter had a difficult birth in a few years, she had no good impression of the Mu family in her heart, and there was almost no contact with her over the years.

However, now only this poor granddaughter is left to take refuge, just like the daughter who married away from home back then, and she was comforted and stayed by her side.

The next day, a large family came to greet the old lady, and Mu Wanyi also saw what it was to be prosperous. The eldest uncle's family has six sons-in-law, and the second uncle's family has five, and everyone is very curious about this beautiful cousin (sister).

I heard that the prince was personally escorted to the mansion by the prince's guards, and they didn't dare to slack off, plus Mu Wanyi was naturally soft and gentle, and they got along well for a while.
