The next day, Kangxi summoned Xiang Yan and Ruidong and said, "I want to marry Princess Jianning to Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui's only son, and form a family with him." The two of you escorted the princess to Yunnan and gave Wu Yingxiong a marriage. The two said: "Yes! Kangxi said again: "This time, Ruidong is the main envoy for marriage, and Xiang Yan is the deputy envoy." Xiang Yan has no grade, and it is not suitable to directly be the deputy envoy for marriage, so I will make you the chief eunuch of the sixth grade! Xiang Yan didn't have joy in his heart, but he still said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Kangxi said: "When you return from Yunnan, try to bring Chen Yuanyuan back to the palace." This matter is to be done in secret, not to a fourth person. Xiang Yan was overjoyed, and a heart was finally put back in his belly, and he said in unison with Ruidong: "Yes!" Kangxi waved his hand and said, "You go down and prepare, let's leave tomorrow!" The two of them bowed and resigned.

After Xiang Yan went to the study, he immediately went out of the palace to find Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo. When he walked to the alley, someone suddenly slapped Xiang Yan on the right shoulder behind him. Xiang Yan turned around and saw that it was Lu Gaoxuan. Xiang Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to speak, but Lu Gaoxuan preemptively said: "Father-in-law Xiang, you came just in time." We moved, and I was about to tell you the new address when you came. ”

Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "You have only lived here for a day, why are you moving?" Lu Gaoxuan said: "We're afraid we're being targeted." Yesterday there were a few thugs who found fault, and Fat Tou Tuo had a fight with them. Those gangsters have a lot of kung fu, and it's impossible to be a gangster with such kung fu. Fathead and I both thought those thugs had been sent to test us. To be on the safe side, we moved. After speaking, Lu Gaoxuan stared at Xiang Yan with both eyes.

Xiang Yan was startled, knowing that those gangsters must be the Ouchi guards under Duolong, and hurriedly asked, "Who sent them?" Lu Gaoxuan said: "I don't know." I'm here today, first, to tell you our new address, and to see if anyone is watching us. But I've been watching this for a long time, everything is normal, no one is spying on us. Could it be that we overreacted, and those people yesterday were really just gangsters? ”

Xiang Yan said: "Don't care about those gangsters, whatever their background is." The emperor decided to marry Princess Jianning to Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui, and let Ruidong, the deputy head of the inner guard, and me be the marriage envoys, and let us bring Chen Yuanyuan back when we returned. You will follow us to Yunnan and look for an opportunity to take Chen Yuanyuan back to the island. ”

Lu Gaoxuan said happily: "Great." What time do you depart? Xiang Yan said, "Tomorrow." Lu Gaoxuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it so urgent?" Xiang Yan said with a smile: "This time is set by the emperor himself." Actually, I'm not in a hurry, it's the emperor who is in a hurry! Lu Gaoxuan also smiled. Xiang Yan said again: "Anyway, you are going to Yunnan tomorrow, even if those gangsters have any conspiracy?" Lu Gaoxuan nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense." ”

Xiang Yan said: "Why don't you disguise yourself as a guard and go to Yunnan with us?" Lu Gaoxuan said with a smile: "Nonsense, how can the inner guards be so easy to pretend?" Besides, it is not easy to arrest Chen Yuanyuan, and a large group of you are definitely not moving fast, so it is better for me and Fat Toutuo to rush to Yunnan as soon as possible and explore Chen Yuanyuan's situation first. ”

Xiang Yan said: "It's just that you are not with me, how can I hand her over to you and take her back to Shenlong Island after I arrest Chen Yuanyuan?" Lu Gaoxuan smiled: "What are you panicking about? Thousands of miles from Yunnan to the capital, how can you return to the capital so quickly? On your way back to Beijing, we are contacting you and trying to find a way to bring Chen Yuanyuan back to Shenlong Island. Xiang Yan said: "It's okay." ”

Soon after Xiang Yan returned to the palace, a eunuch announced a holy decree, and named Xiang Yan as the deputy envoy for marriage, and escorted Princess Jianning to Yunnan with Ruidong, and married Wu Yingxiong, the son of the king of Pingxi. Wu Yingxiong sealed the third-class Jingqi Hanifan, plus Shaobao, and the prince Taibao. Xiang Yan took money and rewarded the eunuch, and went to see Kangxi to thank him.

The next day, Ruidong and Xiang Yan led the imperial guards to bid farewell to Kangxi and the Queen Mother, and escorted Princess Jianning to Yunnan. Nothing to say all the way. At dusk, the local government greeted the group and stayed in the garden of the local rich gentry's house. After the feast was dispersed, Princess Jianning summoned Xiang Yan to chat.

Xiang Yan came to Princess Jianning's residence and found that Princess Jianning was the only one in the house. Xiang Yan hesitated and didn't dare to enter the house. Princess Jianning shouted in the house: "Damn little Xiangzi, what else do you want to look at the door?" Don't get in here yet. Xiang Yan swallowed his anger, stepped forward to say goodbye, and said: "The slave Xiao Xiangzi knocks on the princess, and the princess is ...... of Wanfujin."

Princess Jianning suddenly flew up with a kick and hit Xiang Yan's chin. This kick came, without any warning in advance, Xiang Yan bent his leg again, bowed at her feet, but where could he avoid it? Xiang Yan didn't finish a word, he suddenly kicked his chin hard, closed his jaw, and bit his tongue when he landed, only to let him cry out in pain, and blood flowed all over his mouth from the mouth opening.

Princess Jianning scolded: "You damn slave, the emperor's brother married me to Yunnan, it's all your ghost idea." Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "Wronged, princess, this is the emperor's own holy judgment, and it has nothing to do with me." Princess Jianning said angrily: "You still rely on it." The emperor's brother has always loved me, and now no matter how much I cry in front of him, he will not change his mind. He...... He's my brother! As he spoke, he hid his face and began to cry.
