The next day, outside Jian'an City, under the blood-colored banner of tigers and leopards, Ruan Huatian, Dan Xuan and others arched their hands towards the nobles of the Xia Kingdom who came to see them off, and said: "Thanks to everyone, Ruan is grateful!"

Jin Hu also returned the salute, but he suddenly laughed together, and said with a smile: "You kid have to practice polo when you go back, and the next time we meet again, you will definitely be a defeated general under this general!"

Ruan Huatian sneered, snorted lightly, and said, "Okay, that general is waiting for you!

After saying a word, Ruan Huatian suddenly turned around the war horse and quickly ran to the front of the team, Qi Hong, Dan Xuan and others also bowed their hands slightly, and then followed closely.

The procession marched mightily, and the tiger and leopard flags fluttered in the wind against the rising sun.

Jin Hu and the others watched the tiger and leopard army gradually drift away, like them are steel-like characters in the eyes of outsiders, and it is inevitable that there will be a trace of nostalgia in their hearts, brothers who have fought together on the battlefield together, but now they have to be separated after a short reunion, anyone will inevitably feel a little unhappy in their hearts!

In front of the Tiger and Leopard Army, Dan Xuan rode on a tall horse and glanced back at the Tiger King, who was lazily lying on the carriage carrying grain and grass, heartless and sleeping.

Retracting his gaze, Dan Xuan suddenly remembered the kiss of Jin Yuyao last night, and to this day, there seems to be a faint fragrance of her daughter on her lips. I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on my face, is there too much emotional debt I owe!

Just when he was thinking like this, Ruan Huatian stretched out his big hand and gently patted Dan Xuan's shoulder, and said, "What's the matter, young man, what are you thinking?"

Dan Xuan woke up, laughed dryly, and said, "It's nothing, it's just remembering some old things!"

Ruan Huatian smiled and withdrew his big hand, and said: "General Ben prepared the excerpt two days ago, and now he is on the way back to the imperial city as soon as possible, in the excerpt, I have already explained what happened in the Xia Kingdom clearly, I believe that after you return to the dynasty this time, you will definitely receive a great reward from the saint, I believe that it is very likely that the Guyin Dynasty will have another first-class prince!"

Dan Xuan smiled when he heard this, shook his head, and said, "Actually, for me, whether or not to be rewarded is just a name!"

Ruan Huatian laughed approvingly and said, "I didn't expect that you can have such a state of mind as a young man, it's really rare!"

Dan Xuan smiled slightly, looked ahead, and fell silent. I don't know why, he always feels that this return to the dynasty doesn't seem to be easy, why is he so uneasy in his heart.

......

Half a month later, in the splendid imperial city, in the palace, the emperor was angry again in the court, the emperor was furious, and the civil and military officials under the hall were all silent, in recent days, the emperor's temper is getting bigger and bigger, and these people also know the reason why the emperor's mood has deteriorated, and everyone is in danger.

After going down, Dou Kang was walking towards the outside of the palace, but suddenly a shout sounded behind him.

"General, please wait!" Dou Kang didn't have to look back to know who was the person who stopped him, and suppressed his steps.

The person who stopped Dou Kang was none other than Yu Lingtian, the commander of the Imperial City Guards.

"It's Commander Yu, don't you know what happened to stop General Ben?" Dou Kang and Yu Lingtian walked out of the Lama Palace side by side, tilting their heads and asking.

Yu Lingtian let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "General Dou, if you are judged by seniority, you should be regarded as an elder! Now that there are so many major events in the imperial city, the junior wants to ask General Dou, in your opinion, who will have such a huge force and make such a big move, and even show no clues, the Holy Lord ordered me to thoroughly investigate this matter within ten days, how can the junior find out clearly!

Dou Kang understood what Yu Lingtian meant, recently there have been many disappearances or deaths of imperial court officials in the imperial city for unknown reasons, most of them are military generals, such a major event seems to have no warning in advance, but after it suddenly happened, it shocked the entire Guyin court and the opposition at once! Now the emperor is furious, but he can't catch the slightest clue of the murderous organization! It is indeed enough for this commander of the imperial city guards to feel uncomfortable!

Dou Kang sighed and said: "Commander Yu, your feelings are also understood by the general, but you must be clear that the forces in this imperial city are intricately intertwined, and in the current imperial city, in addition to the Heavenly Doctor Divine Palace, the Instrument God Palace, the Danwang Palace, and the Furong Palace all have such strength! If you want to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes, you must first find out the law of the people they killed, haven't you found out? These people seem to be deliberately targeting the military generals who are now in the prime of life in the court!"

As soon as Dou Kang said this, Yu Lingtian suddenly realized something, and said, "General Dou, you mean that they killed one or two civilian officials just to hide people's eyes......

Dou Kang's face suddenly turned solemn, and he said coldly: "What I'm most worried about now is the real purpose of these people, what ulterior plans do they have in doing this, why do they only target military generals, is this just a coincidence?"

Yu Lingtian's face gradually turned cold when he heard this, for the first time, he finally realized that this big case seemed to be more than just a case, what was the real instructor behind it!

In the palace, after the court, the emperor rested in the self-cultivation hall. Ji Wenchang leaned on the soft couch, and the eunuch Li Zhongxian stood behind the soft couch and carefully rubbed the emperor's shoulders.

Ji Wenchang slowly kneaded his eyebrows, looking tired.

"Holy Lord, you need to be relieved, but you must not overwork and hurt the dragon's body!" Li Zhongxian persuaded in a soft voice with a sharp voice.

Ji Wenchang sighed slowly, opened his eyes, and said, "I want to be relieved, but what is happening in the Imperial City now makes me feel relieved!"

"From the perspective of the old slave, the recent events are just some Jianghu organizations, bold enough to challenge the emperor's might, with the ability of General Yu, I believe that the real murderer will be found soon!" Li Zhongxian said comfortingly.

Ji Wenchang snorted lightly when he heard this, and said: "If it is really as you said, why should I worry, but things will never be so simple! These people deliberately target the military generals of our dynasty, obviously they want to weaken the armed forces of our dynasty, this is definitely not a good sign, what is hateful is that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, who is stirring up the storm behind the scenes, I can't even find out the details of the other party!" Li Zhongxian wanted to speak again to persuade the emperor to be relieved, and at this time, the voice of a eunuch suddenly sounded outside the cultivation hall.

"Holy Lord, General Ruan sent someone to hurry up and send it urgently!"

The emperor slowly sat up straight, stretched out his hand to signal Li Zhongxian not to rub it anymore, his eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, and said to Li Zhongxian: "Send the song in!"

On the top of the main hall, the emperor slowly looked at the fold in his hand, but the more he looked at his face, the more shocked he became, when he saw that Dan Xuan had escaped death and arrived in Jian'an City alone, the emperor finally laughed heartily, and the heavy mood that had been suppressed for so long seemed to have finally been vented.

"Okay! What a heroic boy! I really didn't misunderstand him!" said the Emperor.

Li Zhongxian stood aside and secretly glanced at the emperor's stretched brows, and wondered in his heart what kind of news could make the emperor suddenly happy!

"What has the princess been busy with lately?" the emperor asked, closing his fold.

Li Zhongxian bowed and said: "Back to the saint, Her Royal Highness the princess has been hiding in the refining room for penance recently!"

Thinking of his precious daughter, Ji Wenchang couldn't wait to tell her the news quickly, so that she could also know that the person she liked was not dead, but still alive and well!

"Drive the Phantom Glass Palace!" the emperor said to Li Zhong beside him.

In the Phantom Glass Palace, Ji Ling just got up and sat in front of the bronze mirror, four maids were helping the princess to wash up, the princess at this time was already dressed neatly, and her pretty face was not veiled, and several palace maids looked at Ji Ling's beauty through the bronze mirror, but they were all very envious!

"Your Royal Highness, you are so beautiful!" exclaimed one of the maids, who was not bad-looking.

However, such a word of praise did not make the depressed Ji Ling show even a smile.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, in another month it will be the Midyear Festival, you should go out of the palace and go for a walk, remember that in the past Midyear Festival, you will go to the City God Temple with Young Master Dou Pei to worship, this year ......"

"This palace said that no one is allowed to mention Dou Pei in front of this palace in the future!"

Princess Ji Ling suddenly stopped the maid's words in an angry voice, and frightened several maidservants to kneel on the ground in panic.

"The slave maid lost her words, begging the princess for forgiveness!" The palace maid who spoke before hurriedly begged for mercy.

Princess Ji Ling snorted lightly and said coldly: "If anyone dares to mention this person's name in the future, they will not blame this palace and will never show mercy again!"

Several palace maids hurriedly said yes in panic. At this time, the voice of the eunuch Li Zhongxian sounded.

"The Holy One has arrived!"

Ji Ling also hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully. The emperor slowly walked into the princess's bedroom, and when he saw several palace maids kneeling on the ground in a panic, the emperor smiled indifferently and said, "What's the matter, Ling'er, are you still angry with Dou Pei?"

Hearing the word Dou Pei, Ji Ling still trembled, and replied: "Father, the son doesn't want to mention this person!"

The emperor looked at his daughter's resolute expression, but suddenly sighed in his heart, once a close friend who was like a person, but now it has become a taboo name that can't be mentioned, he knows in his heart that his daughter can suddenly look like this to Dou Pei, in the final analysis, it is because of that young man, if she knows, that young man not only did not die, but also miraculously cured the illness of the Empress Dowager Ju Ning, and will return to the court soon, I don't know if his daughter will jump up with excitement.

"All of you go down......" the Emperor said.

Everyone retreated, and the emperor stepped forward to help Ji Ling up, stretched out his hand and handed a book to Ji Ling, and said with a smile: "Take a look!"

After saying that, Ji Wenchang seemed to be in a good mood, with his hands behind his back, looking at Ji Ling with a smile and not speaking.

Ji Ling opened the fold with some suspicion and slowly flipped through it, but under this look, the original depression on Ji Lingqiao's face seemed to have gradually turned into ecstasy because of the content of the compromise!

Ji Ling raised her head suddenly, looked at Ji Wenchang with a happy expression, and asked, "Father, is everything said in this excerpt true?"

The emperor stroked Ji Ling's hair dotingly, and said with a smile: "Silly child, how can my father lie to you!

Ji Ling was overjoyed when she heard this, put her arms around the emperor's neck, and said loudly: "Great! Great! Father, you are really great!"

The emperor was startled by Ji Ling's sudden move, and was strangled by his neck and coughed.

"Okay, okay, okay......" The emperor took Ji Ling off his neck like a wreath, and said with a smile: "This time the mood is finally good! But I want to remind you that I will not force that young man to marry you, whether you can capture his heart or not depends on your own ability!"

Ji Ling snorted lightly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then you can underestimate the charm of Erchen, who can anyone in this world escape from the palm of my Ji Ling's hand!"

When the emperor heard this, he smiled mysteriously and said, "That's not necessarily! I'll tell you the truth, that young man has refused to be a colt more than once!"

Ji Ling was shocked in her heart, but then smiled contemptuously and said, "That was in the past, in the future, since Erchen is serious, he can't help it if he disagrees!"

The emperor looked at Ji Ling's confident face, but he really didn't know whether to encourage or beat.
