Yun Yan met Li Hanning
People will always start thinking about the person they want most in their leisure time.
Xiao Ce stood alone in the courtyard for I don't know how long, Guanlan woke up inexplicably, and suddenly saw that there was no one in the room, so he anxiously looked around, and at this moment he saw their Highness standing alone in the courtyard and didn't know what he was thinking, he first secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found the person, but just after a while, he couldn't help but be a little worried, their Highness's shoulders were all fallen leaves that had not been brushed off, and he didn't know how long he had been standing here, in short, as long as Xiao Ce stood here for a moment, He was here to accompany Xiao Ce all the time.
Until Xiao Ce came back to his senses, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Only then did Guanlan dare to step forward: "Your Highness is late at night, Your Highness has to go to court tomorrow, rest early." β
Xiao Ce said in a deep voice: "Okay." β
There are so many things in the court that go back and forth, Ning Yu submitted a book to prepare for the imperial examination next month, Lu Changfeng proposed that the military camp be rewarded for meritorious deeds and selected a few generals from the sub-battalions, but today the household department Shangshu reminded him of one thing, they sent someone to the north a few days ago, and brought Yun Yan a holy decree of adding an official to the knight and a lot of rewards, and now the north sends someone to return the gift, and the envoy of the north is on the way, anyway, there are nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses in the north after all, and Yun Yan knows Xiao Ce again, even if it is only an envoy this time, Nor can they be easily neglected.
Hubu Shangshu stood in the crowd and said loudly: "The minister asks Your Highness how the envoys of the northern border should treat him. β
Xiao Ce, who was sitting on the dragon chair high above, said loudly: "The northern border is an inseparable part of my Great Zhou, and the people who escort the Zhenbei Marquis to return the gift will naturally treat him with national courtesy, and all the expenses of the envoys in Luoyang will be directly paid by the national treasury, and if there is not enough, it will come out of the prince's mansion." β
Hubu Shangshu could hear the importance that their Highness attached to the northern border, so he replied, "Yes." β

Here Yun Yan is finally about to arrive in Luoyang, she has not been back to the Central Plains for a long time, and she sees that the surrounding wealth is naturally much more prosperous than their somewhat desolate northern border, and she has not been here for a long time, but she seems to be a little uncomfortable.
"Little Marquis, the group of people behind us are still following us, and we are almost in Luoyang City right now, or-"
Yun Yan glanced at him quietly, she naturally knew what those people were coming to do, she met three waves of assassins along the way, and two waves made her retreat, only this way, she has been following behind them unhurriedly, and now they are all in Luoyang, and they still don't make a move, and they don't know what they are waiting for, along the way, they are like flies behind them, and they can't shake off them, and they seem to be disgusting.
"That's it, if they want to follow, let them follow, and it's not too late to solve them when they get to Luoyang."
The soldiers on the side looked a little hesitant, and when they really arrived in Luoyang, I was afraid that those people would not dare to do it again.
Yun Yan was dressed in men's clothes and rode on horseback, looking at Luoyang City, which could already be seen: "When you enter Luoyang City, you will follow Xiao Ce's officers and soldiers to live in the post house of Da Zhou." β
"Then the little marquis, you-"
Yun Yan said in a deep voice: "I'll find a random place to lure those people away." β
But it was dangerous to leave her alone, and if something happened to her, they couldn't afford it.
"But the little marquisβ"
Yun Yan knew what they were worried about, but Luoyang was Xiao Ce's territory after all, and there were tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards guarding such a small city, so could she still have an accident in Luoyang City?
Yun Yan said quietly: "Don't worry, this time I disguised myself and no one knows except you." β
Even Xiao Ce didn't tell her.
The others did not dare to let her go like this, nor did they dare not disobey her orders, and after thinking about it for a while, they had to respond:
"Yes."
After Yun Yan entered Luoyang City, she was separated from her subordinates, and she also brought some silver taels with her, preparing to find a remote inn, firstly, because she was accustomed to the tranquility of the north, and secondly, she was more or less followed by some assassins, and if she fought, she could lose a little less.
So she wandered around the city, and when she was about to walk, she found the Linfeng Inn, and when she looked up at this plaque, she always felt like an old man.
However, this inn didn't seem to be anyone, just like his heart, Yun Yan went up and knocked on the door, and after a while, Li Bo came over and opened the door.
"I don't know if this son plans to stay in a room or a hotel, our inn is closed, if it is convenient for the childe, there are several inns across the street."
It's not that she hasn't seen those inns, but none of them meet her heart.
Yun Yan looked inside through the people in front of him, he finally came up with an inn, but he was actually turned away by the people in the inn, and there were obviously empty rooms inside, and asked with some doubts:
"Why aren't you open? I have money with me, and if I am worried that I will not be able to pay it, I can pay it in advance. β
Seeing that the person in front of him was about to misunderstand, Li Bo quickly shook his head:
"Childe, we don't mean that, it's because there have been distinguished guests living in our inn recently, and our son is afraid of disturbing her rest, so he ordered her to come down, and the inn will not be open to the public for the time being."
They really didn't mean anything else, the Li family had a big business back then, leaving many shops, and their son-in-law really didn't lack these incomes.
"Okay."
Yun Yan was about to leave when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Lieber, let her in, she's a friend of mine."
This is Li Hanning's voice.
Yun Yan glanced sideways and saw Li Hanning, but she didn't expect her to be here, and after a while, Yun Yan reacted, the distinguished guest of their son that the old man in front of her just now seemed to be Li Hanning.
Li Bo saw that they knew each other, and it was not good to stop them any more, so he had to get out of the way sideways and let Yun Yan in.
Li Hanning poured her a cup of hot tea, looked at Yun Yan in front of her and said:
"I heard your voice outside just now, and I thought I heard it wrong, how could you have time to come to Luoyang?"
Yun Yan took the teacup from her hand, walked so far, and finally took a sip of hot tea, but she drank it all despite the fact that the water was a little hot:
"It's a long story, Xiao Ce gave me a reward after becoming the prince, so it stands to reason that I should also have some return gifts here, I originally planned to send envoys over, but I had other things to do in Chang'an this time, just passing by Luoyang, so I came with them."
It turned out to be like this, but Li Hanning saw that she was dressed as a man, and nine times out of ten she didn't plan to tell Xiao Ce the news that she came to Luoyang in person, and she came to stay today, with her identity, if she told Xiao Ce in advance that she was going to come to Luoyang, how could she be treated with national courtesy, and arrange for them to live in the royal post station in Luoyang.
Yun Yan looked around, and then saw Li Hanning's slightly bulging abdomen, which seemed to be a little different:
"Are you pregnant?"
At the end, he asked with some hesitation: "It's Xiao Ce's, right?" Where is he? How did he find out that you live here alone? Although it looks pretty clean here, it's just an inn after all. β
How can there be a reason for his wife to live in an inn in this world? Yun Yan only felt that Xiao Ce was a little too ignorant in this way. If she had seen Xiao Ce recently, she would have to say it.
This matter is a long story to explain, Li Hanning shook his head:
"It's a long story, but if the Marquis of Zhenbei meets His Highness, don't mention to him about meeting me here."
Yun Yan seemed to understand something when she heard this:
"You guys had a fight, didn't you? That must be Xiao Ce's fault. β
She knows Li Hanning, she has said more things to Li Hanning than she has said to Xiao Ce, she naturally knows Li Hanning, not to mention that she is still pregnant.
"Don't worry, I'll always be on your side, and if you don't want him to know, I'll naturally keep it a secret."
No wonder she saw Li Hanning's missing person notice at the door at that time, Yun Yan didn't know the cause of the incident, and naturally felt that Xiao Ce knew how to be in a hurry after he lost the person, so he hurriedly searched all over the city.
"It's just that you're going to live in this placeβ"
Yun Yan looked around and quickly took a look at the inn.
"This is Childe's place, and he usually lives here."
There is only one person who can make her call her childe.
Yun Yan reacted: "Li Zhao? β
Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time, at that time, Chang'an Shangqing Academy said goodbye, and after that, I only heard the news that the Li Mansion was destroyed, and he became the lord of Huai'an City when he was out.
At this moment, I heard the news of someone, and of course I was a little melancholy in my heart.
Yun Yan was silent for a while before she spoke to the person in front of her:
"How's he doing?"
Li Hanning looked stunned and said: "Son, he has experienced a lot of things, but now compared to two years ago, he seems to be able to see it, he has only lived in Luoyang temporarily recently, and he may travel around after a while." β
"That's fine, at least one person is free."
It's not like these people, who are trapped by identity and always have to be stuck in one place.
Yun Yan chatted with her again, what happened after they left the northern border, from the white tiger she gave to Xiao Ce, all the way to Li Hanning led the three armies to attack India in southern Xinjiang.
Yun Yan said with some sighs: "I have long heard of the prestige of Liang Zhou, the commander-in-chief of the Yanyun Ten Prefecture Naval Army, but unfortunately we are too far away, otherwise we will have to fight one by one, and see if his sailor is more powerful, or my spear is sharper." β
Before you know it, it's almost evening, and the twilight is getting dark.
The old man has already lit the lights in the inn, Li Zhao doesn't live here tonight, so there are only three of them in the entire inn, Yun Yan then remembered that there were those assassins behind her, in case they came over, Li Hanning was pregnant again, she held Li Hanning's hand in front of her and said:
"I'm not staying here today, and tomorrow I'll come to you with some good wineβoh yes, I'd better just bring some good food, and I almost forgot that you're pregnant and can't drink."
