The country of Bonan became the state of Annam; The former fourteen princes became the vassal king of Dayong - King Xiaonan; nailed him to the pillar of shame in history with the word "filial piety", so that he could not completely regain the hearts of the people.

plus a princess of Dayong, Princess Pingyao, who married far away to Annan Prefecture and was able to change the bloodline of King Xiaonan.

Yu Qingfeng turned his head and rolled his eyes, the emperor of Dayong, it was really a good calculation.

"During the Chinese New Year, Yao'er came back from afar, and when she came to the East Palace to pay my New Year's greetings, she said to me in private," Qi Jinglin gritted his teeth, his eyes became ruthless, "She followed Zhan Yaoyuan's side and overheard Zhan Yaoyuan's conversation with General Wei, and then she knew that it turned out that ten years ago, Bo Nanguo took the initiative to attack Dayong, and it was also planned by Zhan Yaoyuan, who was 16 years old at the time, and General Wei. ”

"This king of filial piety is really 'filial piety', in order to be the king of this domain, he is willing to give up his own relatives and even more willing to his own people, and he does not hesitate to cause war. It's really hateful. ”

Yu Qingfeng began to sympathize with Qi Yao, a tool who was used as a political tool, to marry such a person.

Qi Jinglin felt deeply, "Pity Yao'er, she was forced to die before she married far away, but her father was unmoved, and decided that the royal daughter was destined to such a fate, if she wanted to resist, it would be disloyal to the country and unfilial piety to the family."

"In the past two years of her marriage, Yao'er has written to me every month, complaining that she is having a hard time and wants to come back. I, as an elder brother, can't do anything but comfort.

"This year's New Year, Yao'er finally came back once, just lived for a few days, King Xiaonan sent someone to pick up, Yao'er was crying on the road......"

Yu Qingfeng understood, Qi Jinglin felt a lot of guilt for this poor sister, but he couldn't do anything, the only thing he could do was to send Pei Wuyi over to solve Qi Yao's problems.

It's still a hot potato, or the prince gave it, so you can't take it.

Before leaving, Qi Jinglin deliberately stopped Pei Wuyi and whispered two words in his ear.

When Pei Wuxian heard this, his face changed instantly, and without saying a word, he pulled Yu Qingfeng and left.

went back to ride in the same carriage, Yu Qingfeng just got in the car and asked:

"Why don't you want to go? I just said that the clues will find the door by themselves, and this case appears at this time, and it is likely that it is the clues that I found at the door. And if it's a palace person who has fled, it's safer to flee to the domain, isn't it? ”

Pei Wuyi's face was even more solemn, and he looked like he was suffering.

"In the end, the prince is mysterious to you, what must you hide from me?"

Yu Qingfeng sat down beside Pei Wunu and habitually pulled his arm and shook it.

"When I went to the East Palace to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, I saw this princess of Pingyao." Pei Wuxian looked down at Yu Qingfeng's hands holding his arms, with a look of disgust.

Yu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, slowly let go of her hands, and looked aggrieved, didn't Pei Wuyi have long been used to her like this?

Pei Wuyi grabbed Yu Qingfeng's hand that she wanted to retract, put her hand back on his arm, and then made eye contact with Yu Qingfeng.

"I mean, the time I saw Princess Pingyao, she treated me like this."

Yu Qingfeng was startled, hugged Pei Wuyi's arm tighter, and confirmed with an angry face: "So? ”

Pei Wuyi lowered his eyelids in affirmation.

"How can this be true? I just sympathized with her. Whether it's a voluntary marriage or not, she's also a married woman now, how can she ...... you?"

"You mean, if it's not a married woman, you can ...... me" Pei Wuyi glanced down at Yu Qingfeng's hands again.

Yu Qingfeng smiled evilly and shook off Pei Wuying's arm, "That's natural, love is free, Master Pei has the right to accept any unmarried woman's show of love." I'm just a colleague and subordinate of Master Pei, so I can't control it. ”

Pei Wuxian smiled and stared at Yu Qingfeng deeply, "Yes, this matter is in the hands of the future Mrs. Dali Siqing." ”

"What excuse is Princess Pingyao to be so light on you?"

"Thin?" Pei Wuyi frowned, "Then you calculate it yourself, from the time you met to the present, how much have you made me lighter......"

"Oh, don't change the subject, princess, I can't pounce on you all of a sudden, can I?"

Yu Qingfeng interrupted Pei Wuyi, she was very concerned about this Pingyao princess, must the screenwriter have a love rival? And she is also the prince's own sister. If Qi Jinglin intends to match, then what should she do?

"On the first day of the new year, Princess Pingyao mentioned that she said that there were two disappearances in Annan Prefecture, and they were taken away by two ghosts in front of everyone. She wanted me to go back to Annan with her to investigate the case. ”

"There were two then, and now it's three. Local officials simply failed to crack the case, find the missing and catch the culprits. Isn't this just waiting for us? ”

After Yu Qingfeng finished speaking, an idea suddenly popped up: Could it be a case deliberately created by Qi Yao, just to attract Pei Wuxian over?

No, no, Qi Yao married in Annan Prefecture two years ago, according to Qi Jinglin, the first time she returned to her parents' house for the Chinese New Year today was the first time she saw Pei Wuyi.

"At that time, I was bent on going to Suzhou, and I could see that Princess Pingyao was ...... to me The meaning of lightness. I thought she was making it up out of thin air or making a big fuss, when in fact there was no such thing at all, or it was just an ordinary disappearance. ”

When Yu Qingfeng thought of setting off to meet her rival, she felt awkward and resistant.

"Now we don't know if there are any cases of disappearance of ghosts and kidnappers, maybe we will find out after we go, and it is really out of nowhere. This emperor is also really, how can the domain not report the case to the capital? It's too much power to give them, right? ”

"Not only that, but Annam also maintains the customs of the original Bonan country, and there is no curfew. Half of the people there were originally from the Bonan Kingdom, and their attitude towards Zhan Yaoyuan, the vassal king, can be imagined. Zhan Yaoyuan was able to catch an assassin who had assassinated him almost every month. The local legend that Annan is the closest place to hell also comes from Zhan Yaoyuan. ”

"How?"

"The original rumor was that what Zhan Yaoyuan did was outraged by the gods, and he had already been given a limit by Emperor Xudu himself, and he would definitely die young, be taken away by the ghosts, and go to the eighteenth layer of hell. Over time, the rumor became that Emperor Xudu deliberately opened an entrance to hell in Annan Prefecture for the sake of Zhan Yaoyuan, a person who was angry with the gods, and an entrance to the eighteenth layer of hell. ”

I don't want to go even more.

"I know the prince just whispered something to you." Yu Qingfeng was listless.

Pei Wunu's eyes dodged and sighed.

"He must hope that you can bring his favorite sister back to the capital, and then let you be his brother-in-law, Master Pony."

Pei Wuyi didn't deny it.

"That's true!" Yu Qingfeng was anxious.

"He mentioned it on the first day of the new year, and I refused at that time. This time, I once again expressed my dissatisfaction and rejection with practical actions. Pei Wunu made a gesture, "I believe that with the character of the prince, he will not mention it to me a third time." If you mention it, don't make this friend. ”

Indeed, the first time he mentioned it, Pei Wuyi refused in words; The second time he mentioned it, Pei Wunu didn't even bother to speak, he didn't even want to salute, and he took Yu Qingfeng and left; If the prince really cared about Pei Wuyi's friend, he wouldn't be bored with mentioning it for the third time.

Pei Wuyi is really a cow, as a courtier, a courtier that the prince relies on, and a courtier who is a friend, he dares to overturn the friendship boat with the prince first. is worthy of being the male protagonist.

Yu Qingfeng sorted out Qi bangs, confirmed that the second yuan's eyebrows were not exposed, and asked sourly:

"The prince looks like that, Princess Pingyao must also be a stunning beauty, right? That's right, if it weren't for the noble princess and the beauty, how could the prince point to the mandarin duck spectrum to the married woman. ”

Pei Wuxian came back to his senses, "Wait a minute." What does the prince look like that? You mean, the crown prince is a peerless beauty? ”

Again, Pei Wuyi didn't accept the move, and directly came to a rebound technique. However, it turns out that the feeling of jealousy is like this, and my heart is awkward, and I don't lose it. It's uncomfortable.

Yu Qingfeng returned to her position, leaned on the carriage, and muttered weakly: "I'm so tired." ”

Pei Wuyi smiled proudly, as if to say: Now you know how I feel, right?

***

"To Annan?" Lian Shurong counted with his fingers, "Then there must be a seven-day journey, right?" ”

"Your Highness means to leave within three days. He promised in a letter to Princess Pingyao that Dali Temple would arrive within ten days. The letter was delivered quickly, and it took only three or four days. ”

Pei Wuxian frowned while conveying Qi Jinglin's meaning.

Lin Ming sighed, "The situation over there in Annan Prefecture is too complicated. Among the people, the people of Dayong and the people of the original Bonan Kingdom accounted for half each. I heard that in the past ten years, the two countries have rarely intermarried, so it can be seen that they still hate each other. There is also a Bonan Society, which has been secretly plotting to recapture Annan Prefecture and restore the country. ”

"Isn't it? If we have to go this time, we can take some more people with us. Your Highness sent us there, how much is the allocation? "Lian Shurong cares most about money.

"In addition to taking care of all expenses, His Highness will be responsible for renovating the Library." Pei Wuyi said weakly.

Lian Shurong has nothing to say, in fact, even if the prince is not a dime, he has nothing to say.

Lin Ming continued:

"As far as I know, King Xiaonan has two right-hand men, one is a civil and one military, one is General Wei who guards Annan Prefecture, a native of Bonan, and the other is Fan Zhizhou, who handles the affairs of the state, and the former Dayong official appointed by His Majesty when the state was established. General Wei is from Zhan Yaoyuan, and Fan Zhizhou is a close confidant of Princess Pingyao. ”

"I heard it, the couple didn't have a good relationship. But it's not surprising that if it were me, I wouldn't fall in love with a traitor. Lian Shurong's face was full of disdain.

Yu Qingfeng summarized for everyone:

"So the situation in Annam Prefecture is very complicated, the king and the princess of Xiaonan are in their own camps, the people of the two tribes hate each other, and there is a Bonan society who wants to restore the country secretly entrenched, and most importantly, there is also the case of the disappearance of the ghost messenger. This case again involves local legends, and there is an entrance to hell in Annam. ”

The four of them were silent, and they all had the same thought: this trip to Annan Prefecture may not be peaceful, and it is the most thrilling task since the four of them formed a team.

Lin Ming asked curiously: "Master Pei, when I went to the East Palace to pay New Year's greetings, Princess Pingyao mentioned those two disappearances?" ”
