readx;?“ Whew!"

In the Imperial City of Jinling, in a secluded corner in the back garden of the royal family, there was a sudden soft sound, and then a dazzling white light actually fell out of thin air, but this white light came quickly, but it went faster. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, and if someone accidentally saw this scene, I was afraid that they would think they were dazzled.

But this is not an illusion, because after the white light that fell from the sky faded, a group of uninvited guests appeared strangely in the originally empty back garden, and they were Lu Yifan and his party who had just returned from northern Xinjiang.

"This is ......" Looking at the slightly dim sky, Lu Yifan was a little dazed for a while, only to see him look around left and right several times, and then he gradually had a clue in his mind, "I know, this is the emperor's back garden, I have been here with my father for a banquet!"

"Why is the weather in Jinling City so bad today?" Liu Sandao pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly, "What time is this? The sky has already darkened like this!" Liu Sandao is right, although it is only afternoon at the moment, but the sky above Jinling City is full of dark clouds, the imaginary spring is full of sunshine at this moment, all disappear without a trace, and the black and oppressive rain clouds cover the sky, reflecting the entire Jinling City in a dim light, looking like it is evening dusk.

This kind of weather also made the entire Jinling City seem to fall into a strange and depressing atmosphere.

"Yifan, you said that this is the back garden of the imperial family, so this means that this is the imperial city?" Ji Yuan looked around worriedly, and then hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal everyone to speak quietly, "If the guards find out, won't we be in big trouble?"

"The teleportation array that can connect Northern Xinjiang and Jinling City is located in the Imperial City, and there is no way for us to appear here!" Lu Yifan said helplessly, "Now we can only be careful and find a way to sneak out!"

"If you want people to sneak out without knowing it, it's simply impossible!" Lu Jun shook his head and said, "There are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry in the imperial city, only because this is the back garden so we are so calm, once we step out of the garden gate, then it is impossible for us to hide ourselves anymore! Not to mention that there are many masters in the imperial city, if the masters notice that we are deliberately hiding ourselves, I am afraid that we will be killed as assassins on the spot!"

"That's good!" Ji Yuan nodded and agreed, "Now that the Han family has been beheaded all over the house, and the Lu family has just been demoted, the emperor must still be angry, if we cause any trouble at this time, I'm afraid that we will be guilty!"

"Don't you hide it, do you want to go out openly?" Xie Yun said with a suspicious expression, "Wouldn't that be too righteous to Governor Xi Chen?"

"Shhhhh

Just when a few people were thinking about how to deal with it, Ah Chang, who had been curiously looking at the various bewitching flowers around him, suddenly stared, then stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, urging urgently, "Everyone squat down!"

Sure enough, just as Ah Chang's words fell, with a few hearty laughter, I saw four figures slowly emerging in the back garden, he was the clansman of the emperor, the four holy kings.

"Haha...... This time, I have to congratulate the eldest brother, I am about to marry a beautiful granddaughter-in-law and enter the door!" Yan Lie, who was bold by nature, laughed loudly, and arched his hand at the 'Holy East King' Yan Yi as he spoke, "Although the Han family has been beheaded by the whole family, this Han Ling'er can be regarded as a famous general no matter how much he says, whether it is in terms of appearance or virtue, it is the best choice, so that everyone can marry into my royal family, but it will not disgrace the majesty of my royal family!"

"Ze'er has always been arrogant and domineering, and he has been spoiled by me since he was a child!" Yan Yi's old eyes were full of doting, "In recent years, my grandson has been indulging in wine, and I have always been afraid that he will ruin the prestige of the royal family. It's good this time, Ze'er can love Han Ling'er so much, presumably after he marries Han Ling'er, he will be able to change those stinky problems in the past and learn some serious skills!"

"In my opinion, whether to learn or not is secondary, after all, the descendants of our royal family are born with great intelligence, and the lucky stars shine brightly!haha......" Shengnan Wang Yan Hao hurriedly interjected and laughed and said, "The most important thing now is to let Yan Ze and Han Ling'er quickly give birth to a golden grandson for our royal family, so as to continue the incense of our Yan royal family!" The Yan family has always been at the peak of incense, but for some reason, there are only five of us left in our generation of Yan family, and the next generation is not very prosperous, and now the emperor and grandson generation are also pitiful, if you don't work hard, I am afraid that in another one or two hundred years, our royal family is only afraid that it will be reduced to a small widow!"

"Well, Yan Hao is right!" Yan Lie nodded again and again, "Yan Ze is at the top of the ranks among the emperors and grandsons, so it is only natural for him to make a good start first!"

"Haha...... The old man also has this intention!" Yan Yi, as Yan Ze's own grandfather, was even more smiling at the moment, and vigorously wiping his pale beard with his hand.

And from beginning to end, Yan Zheng, the king of the Holy West, just laughed beside everyone and did not say a word, neither complimenting Yan Yi nor refuting it.

"Yan Zheng, what are you thinking?" Yan Yi glanced slightly, and asked with a smile, in fact, since Yan Zheng has always had a protective attitude in dealing with the Han family and the Lu family, it has also caused Yan Yi's dissatisfaction, so in Yan Yi's heart, Yan Zheng is a fool who doesn't know the current affairs and doesn't understand people's feelings, "Why didn't you say a word for a long time?Do you think there is anything wrong with Ze'er's marriage with Miss Han's family?"

"Oh! don't dare!" Yan Zheng hurriedly lowered his head humbly and smiled when he heard this, "This marriage is a gift from His Majesty, it is naturally a match made in heaven, Yan Ze's grandson and Han Ling'er can tie the knot together is also in accordance with the will of heaven, how can I feel that there is anything wrong with me if it is too late for them to be happy?"

"Then why does this king always look at you and have a trace of concern?" Yan Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, he naturally wouldn't believe Yan Zheng's compliments, "Since we are brothers, why don't we speak out and discuss together!"

"That's it, Yan Zheng, don't hide it, just say it if you have anything to say!" Yan Lie urged impatiently.

"Hehe, it's not a secret, I just heard that Han Ling'er, a girl, has been married to Lu Yifan, the son of the Lu family, since she was in her mother's womb. After so many years, she and Lu Yifan can also be regarded as childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, needless to say, the relationship is naturally good! Now Han Ling'er is not implicated in the capital crime of the Zhujiu clan, so she is assigned by His Majesty to marry Yan Ze's grandson, I am only afraid of ......" Yan Zheng's words couldn't help but look up at Yan Yi's face faintly, but when he saw that Yan Yi just sneered and had no anger, he continued, "I'm just afraid that this twisted melon is not sweet!"

As soon as Yan Zheng's words came out, Yan Zheng's gaze suddenly turned cold.

"Whew!" But before Yan Yi could speak, Yan Lie grabbed the words nonchalantly, "I thought you were worried about something terrible, but you were worried about this?"

"What's the matter?

"I'll tell you, this woman is not a melon, but wine!" Yan Lie Weng laughed, and as he spoke, he glanced at Yan Yi and Yan Hao left and right with a pair of shrewd old eyes, "What is wine? The stronger the wine, the better! Now this Han Ling'er is a glass of strong wine for Yan Ze, although it is difficult to swallow at first, as long as you swallow it strongly, the taste of the wine after entering the throat and intestines is tsk......"

Lu Yifan, who had been secretly eavesdropping on the conversation of the Four Holy Kings, had turned blue at this moment, his eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light, and a cold killing intent gradually emanated from his body, if it wasn't for Ji Yuan and Xie Yun to appease him in time, I was afraid that Lu Yifan would rush out in anger.

"A bunch of old bastards!" Liu Sandao scolded coldly.

"What Yan Lie said is good!" Yan Yi sneered, "This Han Ling'er is indeed a glass of strong wine, and it is not an ordinary spirit! During this time, she was imprisoned in my mansion, and my grandson ate a few closed doors a few times, and even slapped Han Ling'er a few times, which shows how fierce this girl is! If it weren't for the majesty of the royal family, I was afraid that people with ulterior motives would use the topic to slander this king and bully the weak, I would have managed to get Ze'er to accept that girl!" Yan Yi spoke, and his eyes glanced at Yan Zheng with bad intentions, obviously this person with ulterior motives who wanted to use the topic to play was alluding to Yan Zheng!

Indeed, during this period of time, Yan Zheng had been staring at Han Ling'er's movements, and he had never given Yan Ze a chance to make a bow. Yan Zheng didn't do this out of kindness to rescue Han Ling'er, he just wanted to find an opportunity to visit Yan Yi in front of the emperor, and completely crush Yan Zheng's position in the emperor's heart, in fact, his disagreement with Yan Zheng has long been a well-known thing.

Among the four holy kings, Yan Yi is scheming but arrogant, and no one pays attention to him except the emperor, and Yan Zheng is the most intelligent, not only is he very smart and the city is very deep, and many things that the emperor can't see through Yan Zheng can see clearly. But Yan Zheng knew the lesson that if he said too much, he would lose it, so he almost never showed up in front of the emperor, and every time he left the opportunity to show his face to Yan Yi and the other two holy kings. Because of this, Yan Zheng is quite loved by the emperor, and he has a good relationship with Yan Lie and Yan Hao, but the scheming Yan Yi understands that Yan Zheng is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, so he has been deliberately making it difficult to squeeze out, and finally provoked Yan Zheng to always want to find an opportunity to completely bring down Yan Hao, and the contradiction between the two was also completely intensified in Han Xiao's matter!

"Hey, big brother, don't worry, after the day after tomorrow Ming Media is getting married, Han Ling'er will be Yan Ze's upright wife, and when the time comes, if the husband and wife play any tricks, others will naturally not say any gossip!" Yan Hao said with a wicked smile, he obviously didn't understand the intrigue between Yan Yi and Yan Zheng, "The so-called anxious can't eat hot tofu, I've endured it for so long, why should Yan Ze's grandson be in a hurry for this day or two?"

"That's right! After the wedding, even if it is tied up, I will definitely let Ze'er and this girl spend candles in the cave! When the time comes, I will see who dares to come out and meddle in things!" Yan Yi snorted coldly, and glared at Yan Zheng again intentionally or unintentionally, and Yan Zheng only smiled at this and didn't say anything more.

"This Yan Yi is really an old immortal, as insidious as his grandson!" Lu Jun scolded in a low voice.

"But this also tells us on the other hand, Ling'er is still relatively safe now!" Ji Yuan saw Lu Yifan's angry eyes that were about to bleed, and hurriedly changed his words and comforted softly.

"Shh

I don't know if it was because they were so excited that their voices just now actually increased a few points, and Liu Sandao, who was squatting at the front, hurriedly turned around and made a silent gesture to everyone.

And just when Liu Sandao's boos just sounded, Yan Zheng, who had been smiling and silent, suddenly moved his ears, and then a solemn color instantly appeared in his indifferent eyes, but Yan Zheng concealed it very well, and in the blink of an eye, his face returned to its previous calmness.

"Let's go, go to my mansion and see how the people are preparing!" Yan Yi invited with a smile, "By the way, take a look at the wedding dress that my grandson personally selected for Han Ling'er! I tell you, this wedding dress is the only one in the Holy Domain, and the emperor has spent a lot of money to hire the best tailor in the Holy Domain, and made it with the best materials." The silk threads used to weave the wedding clothes are all Lingshan Tianxue silk from the spiritual realm, which is extremely precious, and this wedding dress is absolutely valuable!"

"Oh! this time it's really my royal wedding, it's really magnificent!Then we're going to open our eyes!" Yan Hao urged impatiently.

"Okay, this king will take you back......"

"That...... Little brother won't go first!" Just when Yan Yi and the others were happily about to turn around and leave, Yan Zheng suddenly said, "I still have some personal matters to do......

"Yan Zheng, aren't you going to the Lu family again?" Yan Yi's face sank, and he said coldly, "Don't think that I don't know that you have been in and out of the gate of the Lu Mansion in the past month, I know very well what you are thinking, you want to take the opportunity to accept Lu Haoqian to serve under your command, I won't say much about what intentions you have!

After that, Yan Yu didn't say anything more, and turned around and left the back garden with Yan Lie and Yan Hao, who were looking at each other. Yan Zheng quietly looked at Yan Yi's back, and a terrifying glow unintentionally appeared in his originally peaceful and indifferent gaze.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yifan and the others were also confused, obviously they didn't know much about the subtle relationship between Yan Yi and Yan Zheng.

"Ahem...... Come out!"

A moment later, Yan Zheng suddenly spoke, and as soon as his words came out, he immediately aroused the vigilance of Lu Yifan and the others.

"Yifan, what should I do?" Liu Sandao asked in a low voice, and at the same time, his right hand had gently probed the hilt of the Moon Slashing Knife, and it seemed that there was a kind of intention to kill people.

"Don't mess around!" Lu Yifan frowned, and whispered, "I see that he has already discovered us, rather than continue to hide here, it is better to go out and explain it to your face!"

"If you hide it any more, don't blame me for informing the gold and silver guards......"

"Wait!"

Without waiting for Yan Zheng's words to fall, Lu Yifan suddenly got up from the flowers and walked out unhurriedly with Liu Sandao and his party.

"I've seen the King of the Holy West!" Lu Yifan took the lead and saluted Yan Zheng.

"Are you ......" Yan Zheng was not familiar with Lu Yifan, so he couldn't recognize his identity.

"Lu Yifan, Lu Haoqian is my father!" Lu Yifan took the initiative to introduce, "Thanks to the love of the Governor of Xi Chen, we used the teleportation array of the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion to return directly to Jinling City!"

"Oh!" Yan Zheng was not as surprised as Lu Yifan expected, he nodded slightly, and then his eyes glanced at Liu Sandao and the others, and only after a moment did he slowly speak, "I am in such a hurry to come back, presumably to save Han Ling'er, right?"

"Not bad!" Lu Yifan admitted bluntly.

Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Yan Zheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of contemplation, only to see his hands folded in front of him, and the index finger of his right hand was rhythmically tapping on the back of his left hand, obviously Yan Zheng was thinking about something repeatedly.

"Okay!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to ask, Yan Zheng's eyes suddenly froze, and then he said with a light smile, "I am also friends with Lu Haoqian, since you are his son, then this king will help you leave the imperial city!"

"Really?"

"Is there any benefit for me to lie to you?" Yan Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Then thank you King Shengxi!" Lu Yifan thanked gratefully.

"You're welcome, it's still early, hide in the back garden for a while, and in the evening I'll bring you some sets of clothes, and then you'll disguise yourself as the king's retinue and go out with me! But where are you going first?"

"Of course it's the Holy East Palace!" Xie Yun said precipitously.

"So many of you want to break into the Shengdong Palace, it's just killing yourself!" Yan Zheng said with a sneer, "Instead of that, why should I try to rescue you in disguise?"

"What does the King of the Holy West mean......"

"Let's go back to Lufu first! one is to go back to meet your parents and relatives, and the other is to ......" Yan Zheng's words stopped abruptly, and his face couldn't help but darken a little.

Lu Yifan was stunned for a moment because of Yan Zheng's abrupt stop, and then looked at Yan Zheng curiously, and asked with a frown: "Second, for what?"

Yan Zheng raised his head and looked at Lu Yifan quietly, and after a long time, he let out an embarrassing lament.

"A month ago, the Han family was beheaded all over the house, and because His Majesty the Emperor personally convicted and punished his nine clans, no one could handle the aftermath for the Han family, let alone arrange a funeral for them! Therefore, the corpses of more than 400 members of the Han family were piled up outside Jinling City that day, and Zhao Wuyang took a group of golden guards to burn a fire to ashes!"

"What? This ......"

"And your father Lu Haoqian actually braved the disapproval of the world to privately set up a mourning hall for Han Xiao's family in the Lu Mansion, and also built a mound for Han Xiao in the backyard of the Lu Mansion for people to admire!" Yan Zheng said quietly, "And the reason why I let you go back to the Lu family first is to let you, Han Xiao's favorite quasi-son-in-law, go to your father-in-law's spirit as soon as possible after returning to Jinling and worship a stick of incense!"

Without waiting for Yan Zheng's words to fall, Lu Yifan's eyes couldn't help but flow out two lines of tears full of guilt and grief!

"Father, unfilial son-in-law...... Came back late......"

......
