When Ah Heng entered, the dancing girl on the bed had already fallen asleep, and only Qi Yan was left inside.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"No problem." Knowing that the person who came was Ah Heng, Qi Yan took off the disguise of being drunk, and the whole person was much clearer, not at all like a drunk.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty sent someone to report, let us finish handling the affairs of the martial arts conference, and then go to suppress the bandits as soon as possible, what do you say we will set off?"

"Tomorrow."

Now that the bandits know the news that they are going to encircle and suppress them, it is estimated that they should be prepared early, and he must pass as soon as possible, and he cannot delay any longer.

Recalling the past crimes of the mountain bandits, Qi Yan's eyes sank.

Ah Heng knew the knot in Qi Yan's heart, and he also wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, who knew that before leaving, His Majesty asked them to participate in the martial arts conference, so he was very puzzled and muttered quietly.

"I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, the martial arts conference is nothing more than a fight What is there to see, why do you have to send His Highness here, it is better to send someone else."

As soon as Ah Heng finished speaking, he regretted that he actually said bad things about his relatives in front of His Royal Highness, which seemed a little not so authentic.

I don't know if Your Highness heard it?

Ah Heng peeked at Qi Yan with his little eyes in a weak heart, and seeing that Qi Yan was unmoved, Ah Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Qi Yan not only heard it, but also heard it very clearly.

Unlike Ah Heng's confusion, Qi Yan already knew what His Majesty was doing.

At first, he didn't know the purpose of the emperor's grandfather asking him to come here, but after this incident, he understood.

The emperor's grandfather wants the imperial court to form an alliance with Wulin, and among the people in the royal family, only he is the most suitable as the crown prince.

As for Hei Yao, I'm afraid it's for this, and he's already joined forces with Feng Deshang.

But is this alliance really more important than the bandits?

Thinking of this, Qi Yan laughed at himself.

Also, in order to let the people who were arranged in advance sit on the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, they did whatever it took to completely disregard the lives of others, in their opinion, they were more important than mountain bandits.

Qi Yan pondered: "Dong Chunzhang, how are they preparing?" ”

"According to His Highness's orders, everything is ready."

"Okay."

///

The morning sun was still shining, and the group was walking down the street.

Qi Yan actually didn't bring many people, and he could go on the road after simply packing up, but he still couldn't stand Feng Deshang's escort.

Knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a famous playboy, for fear that he would be neglected here, Feng Deshang gave Qi Yan a lot of things, and Qi Yan accepted them without refusing.

So the carriage that was originally empty from the time and space is now full.

"Brother Feng is really rich."

Qi Yan's casual words fell on Feng Deshang's heart, but he had to let him carefully figure out Qi Yan's tone.

It was a good word, but he heard the mockery.

Although I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has in mind, it is always good to justify.

Feng Deshang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, these are all prepared by the people who know that Your Highness's boats and cars are tired, and they voluntarily raise funds for Your Highness." ”

As the name suggests, these things belong to the people, and it is none of his business.

In fact, Qi Yan knew it well and didn't believe Feng Deshang's rhetoric.

He knew very well what kind of person Feng Deshang was and how he was snatched out of the hands of the people.

But he still had to force himself to pretend he didn't understand.

"In this way, I still want to say that I rely on Brother Feng's care..."Qi Yan showed his harmless smile, "... It seems that the people still think well. ”

Feng Deshang no longer cared about Qi Yan's previous meaning, because at this time, he was about to be compared to the people in his mouth, so he immediately reluctantly cut his love and gave things to Qi Yan in his own name.

Seeing that there were several more materials designated by himself, Qi Yan smiled and blinked, "Brother Feng broke the bill." ”

Feng Deshang pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, "... No problem. ”

Looking at the back of Qi Yan leaving in a dashing manner, Feng Deshang suddenly felt that he was too worried just now.

Before leaving, Qi Yan still took a detour to the inn where Xia Fanlian stayed.

He thought that when he passed by the inn, he could even see Xu Zhisheng.

Because he went this time, he didn't know when he would see each other again, maybe he would be like his father, and leaving would be goodbye.

Fortunately, God still favored him and gave him a chance to say goodbye to her.

Xu Zhisheng didn't expect to see Qi Yan here, he just walked out of the inn and paused, and subconsciously just wanted to go back, but was stopped by Qi Yan again.

"Xu Zhisheng."

At the martial arts conference, Xu Zhisheng's name had been exposed, and Qi Yan would associate his current disguised self with his true self.

If you stay here longer, you risk being recognized, Xu Zhisheng is convinced of this, and silently lowers his sense of existence.

Seeing that Xu Zhisheng didn't react for a long time, Feng Deshang was a little dissatisfied, "Why don't you come over and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for peace." ”

Xu Zhisheng gritted his teeth and had no choice but to come to Qi Yan's carriage.

Qi Yan's carriage is very recognizable, and it is his who is decorated with bells and whistles.

"Hello, Your Highness the Prince."

"Hmm." Seeing the inexplicably obedient Xu Zhisheng, Qi Yan smiled.

"Come up." He leaned against the window with a smile, patted the seat next to him, and motioned for Xu Zhisheng to come up.

"Not right, right?" Xu Zhisheng said euphemistically, subtext: Just say something here.

Are you sure to say it here?

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Zhisheng playfully, for fear that she would not come, Qi Yan opened his mouth to add again, but he didn't make a sound, but Xu Zhisheng could still read two words from his lips.

Weekly words.

He still recognized her, Xu Zhisheng chuckled in his heart, and then quickly calmed down.

It was already determined that Xu Zhisheng would come in, and Qi Yan instructed the attendants around him, "You go to other places first, don't come over without my order." ”

"Yes."

Ah Heng responded, and invited the people around him to leave, including Feng Deshang and Hei Yao.

Hei Yao also took a special look at Xu Zhisheng before leaving, and at the same time gave Xu Zhisheng a reason to look at him openly.

Xu Zhisheng looked at the back of Hei Yao leaving, made sure that he had left, thought for a moment, and walked into his carriage under Qi Yan's gaze.

Just as the exterior of the carriage is full of bells and whistles, so is the interior, even the tea set.

So when Xu Zhisheng entered the carriage, Qi Yan was making tea.

The faint thin smoke, coupled with the fragrance of tea, reminded Xu Zhisheng of his days in Bichachun Building, until Qi Yan handed her a cup of Biluochun.

"Taste it."

Xu is Qi Yan was too enthusiastic, which made Xu Zhisheng feel uneasy, and couldn't help but look at him.

"Can I trust you?"

"Of course." Qi Yan looked at Xu Zhisheng's eyes, "Forever." ”

Time seemed to go back to the past, she was still sitting across from him, and he was still talking forever.

"Forever. ”

"I'll never hurt you."

"Don't be afraid, I'll always protect you."

“......”】

Consistently forever, let Xu Zhisheng let down his guard.

She slowly picked up the teacup, brought it to her lips, blew lightly, and drank it.

The warm tea crossed his throat, leaving a familiar taste, Xu Zhisheng was a little surprised, "Is this the Biluochun of Bichachun Building?" ”

"Yes." Qi Yan filled the teacup, "How about brewing it yourself?" ”

"Well, it's not bad."

It's not that it's flattery, as a senior health practitioner who drinks tea, Xu Zhisheng really thinks so.

"That's good." Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then fell silent.

Since the Zhou family was killed and Zhou Yan disappeared, Qi Yan has been decadent for a long time, often sitting in Bichachun Building in a daze, in order to dispel his inner irritability, he specially went to study Biluochun.

Although he learned tea in a not very good memory, but now that he can be recognized by Xu Zhisheng, Qi Yan feels that everything is worth it.

Xu Zhisheng didn't know what Qi Yan was thinking, there was only one question in her mind, how did Qi Yan recognize her?

"How did Your Highness recognize me?"

"Marbles." Qi Yan didn't tell her about Xiaozhige, but took out about a dozen marbles from the box next to her as she spoke.

Eight or nine of them were brand new, and the workmanship of the remaining ones was much rougher than that of them.

But Xu Zhisheng still recognized that the former was the marbles she was carrying with her now, and the latter was left by Xu Zhisheng on the scene ten years ago, and she didn't expect Qi Yan to collect them.

"I heard Ah Heng say that you used marbles ten years ago, and the names of the martial arts conference coincide, so people must not be a little suspicious."

"Oh."

So that's the case, it seems that she still has to be more careful, at least not to let the man in black find her.

Regarding Xia Fanlian's injury, I don't know if I believe in Qi Yan too much, Xu Zhisheng doesn't think that Qi Yan did it.

Intuition told her that Xia Fanlian's poisoning was probably caused by the man in black, and the man in black was someone close to Qi Yan.

"I have one more question for Your Highness."

"Just ask."

Xu Zhisheng has always been straightforward, and when he has something to say, he will say, "Your Highness, do you know what the identity of the tall and thin person was just now?" ”

Knowing that Xu Zhisheng was talking about Hei Yao, Qi Yan paused, from the very beginning, he found that Hei Yao was not simple, but he didn't expect that this seemed to be related to Xu Zhisheng.

"His name is Hei Yao, a guard of the palace, and he was assigned by the emperor's grandfather to follow me this time."

Guards? This range is a bit large, anyone can buy him, he can be loyal to anyone, and of course he has maintained His Majesty from beginning to end.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhisheng's mind became even more confused.

"Did he have a special allegiance to anyone ten years ago?"

"Ten years ago?" Qi Yan quickly grabbed the keyword, "Are you saying that your family was poisoned by him?" ”

"I'm not sure." Xu Zhisheng hesitated a little, "Because I once saw the token on him, and it has this pattern on it." ”

Xu Zhisheng lightly dipped his fingers in the water and drew on the table.

When he saw the pattern, Qi Yan was still shocked, he understood the meaning of this pattern, and he also understood who Hei Yao was loyal to.

It's just that he can't say.

"I know, don't worry, I'll check it out."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Hmm."

Worried about what difficulties Xu Zhisheng would encounter in the future, Qi Yan also specially stuffed her with a jade pendant.

"In ten days it will be your birthday, this is for you, if there is anything, you can take it out and use it, someone will help you."

"Even though I was late so many times... But I still want to say..."

"Happy birthday."

Knowing that this gift was a bit valuable, Xu Zhisheng didn't dare to accept it for a while.

"You just take it." Qi Yan added: "I'm about to leave, if you don't accept it, I won't feel at ease." ”

"Then thank you, Your Highness." Xu Zhisheng couldn't shirk Qi Yan, so he had to put away the jade pendant.

There was nothing to talk about, they were all quiet for a while, Xu Zhisheng looked out the window and could see Qi Yan's attendant standing in the distance.

"Your Highness, do you want to go back to the capital or go to suppress the bandits?"

"Bandits."

"Your Highness should take care all the way."

Qi Yan looked at Xu Zhisheng's sincere expression, and promised her with a smile, "Okay." ”

He will.
