The assassin was stunned, probably not expecting the other party to be so unkind, and he didn't care about the life and death of Princess Yuan at all.

"Even if you can ignore the life or death of the princess, if the princess really dies at our hands, you can't explain it to the Yi family, right?" The assassin came back to his senses and said coldly.

"You have a point, so what do you want?" Pei Yuanruo pondered for a moment, and then asked.

"You give us the son of King Zhennan, and we will naturally release Princess Ling." The Assassin at the head said in a deep voice.

Pei Yuan shook his head, "The prince of Zhennan is a guest in the capital, and he is the emperor's honored guest, not something you can ask for if you say so." ”

"So, do you care if the princess lives or dies?" The assassin said, placing a sharp knife on Autumn Cicada's neck.

In his opinion, no matter how unkind Pei Yuan is, he will definitely not see his princess killed by them, so they still have a chance to win.

However, this thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment, his arm suddenly felt a sharp pain.

Before he could react, he held the arm of the knife and suddenly flew out.

"Ahh ”

It's a pity it's too late.

In their eyes, Princess Yuan, who had no martial arts at all, suddenly had two more short knives in her hand at this time.

The short knife was as light as a willow leaf in her hand, and when it flew, it reaped two lives.

The situation was reversed, and in a short time, all the assassins were subdued.

Shadow even cut off the head of the Assassin.

Pei Yuan handed over a letter and instructed lightly, "Together with the head, on the day of King Zhennan's birthday, it will be delivered to King Zhennan, and it will be regarded as a birthday gift from this king." ”

"Yes." Liuying answered, took the letter, and personally took the head and the letter, and left.

Pei Yuan sat on his horse and looked into the distance.

As early as when the Assassin sent a letterhead asking him to exchange the prince of Zhennan for the princess of Yuan, he knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was Yan Qingshan, the king of Zhennan.

King Zhennan is a king with a different surname, and he was rewarded for meritorious service during the reign of the first emperor.

This person is quite forbearing, and he is loyal to the court on the surface, but in fact he is ambitious and secretly recruits troops.

Over the years, the power has become increasingly large, and now there is a tendency to fight against the imperial court.

Yan Qingshan had the heart of scheming early, and on the emperor's birthday this year, the vassal kings from all over the country came to Beijing to celebrate the emperor, but the king of Zhennan did not come, and only sent his son Yan Yu to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.

But he didn't know that the imperial court had already received the news that he had a heart of disobedience, and he would rebel at the end of the year, so after the emperor's birthday, he detained Yan Yu in the capital.

After all, he was an only son, and Yan Qingshan was reluctant to let his son die, so he didn't send troops for a long time.

In order to save his son, he also sent people to Beijing to kidnap Yizhu in exchange for his son.

Yan Qingshan is different from other vassal kings, he has a deep foundation, and he has enough soldiers and food, so it is not easy to shake.

And once the war starts, it is the people who suffer.

However, Yan Qingshan also has a weakness, that is, his only son Yan Yu.

Pei Yuan thought lightly and ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the city.

Yuanwang's Mansion.

Since Pei Yuan left, Yizhu waited for him to come back in the front yard.

She didn't have to wait long.

After an hour or so, the guards returned one after another.

They walked in with a relaxed face, iron in their hands.

"What are you doing here?" Bi Qing asked curiously.

"Back to Miss Biqing, this is an iron piece." One of the guards replied.

"I know it's a piece of iron, and I want to ask, what are you doing with this?" Biqing said funny.

The guard scratched his head, and then said embarrassedly, "This is used to resist weapons, like this." ”

The guard said, and demonstrated, stuffing the iron piece under his shirt.

"Hey, that's a good idea." Biqing praised.

The guard smiled and said, "The prince made us do this." ”

"Why?" Yizhu, who had not spoken, couldn't help but ask.

"In order to deliberately defeat the enemy, so as not to be really killed." The guard said.

Yizhu's master and servant were stunned, "Why did you deliberately lose to the enemy?" ”

"Because in this way, the enemy can be paralyzed, and the enemy can be wiped out." At this time, Qiu Cicada walked in and spoke for the guards.

"Cicada, you're back, are you okay?" Yizhu said with concern.

"The subordinates are fine." Autumn Cicada smiled and shook her head.

"That's good. Are things going well? Yizhu asked again.

"It went well, there were no casualties among our people." Autumn Cicada explained.

When Yizhu heard this, he understood the meaning of the guard's sentence of pretending to be dead.

It seems that the guards who escorted Qiu Cicada out of the city today, in order not to make the enemy suspicious, installed iron pieces under their clothes in advance, and then pretended to be invincible, deliberately being stabbed by the enemy, and that iron piece was their confidence.

Seeing that everyone was back, but Pei Yuan was gone, Yizhu said strangely: "What about the prince, why didn't you come back with you?" ”

"The prince has gone to the Qingjia camp." Autumn Cicada replied.

"Oh." Yizhu nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Since the enemy has been wiped out, then I should be fine if I go out now, right?" ”

"Of course." Autumn Cicada nodded.

"Then let's go shopping." Yizhu said excitedly.

Since the assassination, she has stayed in the house most of the time, and she can't go anywhere, and now that the danger is gone, she suddenly has some craving for the roast goose in Fengminglou.

I don't know if it's influenced by Lele, in the past, Lele loved the roast goose of Fengminglou the most.

Thinking about it, she reached out and touched her stomach, looking a little sad.

Bi Qingzhi thought of the little prince again, and sighed softly.

When he went out, Pei Yuan happened to come back.

Knowing that Yizhu was going out, he had to accompany her.

"If the prince has something important, you don't need to accompany me, there is Biqing and Qiu Chan to accompany me." Yizhu said empathetically.

Pei Yuan glanced at the two of them and said, "You don't have to follow today." ”

"Yes." The two answered.

"Do you really want to go out with me?" Yizhu was stunned.

"That's still fake." Pei Yuan took her hand and walked out.

Yizhu had some scruples, "But you have so many things to do......"

"Nothing is more important than you." Pei Yuan touched her head and interrupted her.

When Yizhu heard this, his heart was filled with sweetness, and he had no scruples.

Looking at the man's handsome side face, she couldn't help but get closer and teased: "Why is the prince so good at talking today?" ”

Pei Yuan glanced at her sideways and hooked the corners of his mouth, "I usually can't speak?" ”

"Not really." Yizhu shook her head.

Pei Yuan clenched her little hand, "I'm telling the truth." ”

When Yizhu heard this, his heart became sweeter, he grabbed his arm, and said playfully: "Well, I like to listen, the prince will say more." ”

Pei Yuan's cold eyes were dyed with a smile, and he stretched out his fingers and pinched her soft face, "The guts are getting fatter and fatter." ”
