Xiao Rui was originally the governor of Yizhou.

At the end of last month, he returned to Beijing to report on his work and did not go again.

According to the meaning of the imperial court: rest for two months, marry the princess of Xiangcheng after February next year, and then stay in Chang'an City.

After returning to Chang'an City, Xiao Rui wanted to find Princess Xiangcheng to catch up, and wanted to tell Princess Xiangcheng what he had seen and heard in Yizhou, and poured out his feelings about missing her.

However, no one could be found, and they asked the prince Li Chengqian and others, and they didn't know where Princess Xiangcheng went.

Then the day before yesterday, he received a letter from Yizhou, and his brother Xiao Hong sent a letter to Yizhou to him, but because he left, he transferred from Yizhou to Chang'an City.

After reading the letter, Xiao Rui knew that Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan were in Liaozhou City.

Although he didn't know why he was in Liaozhou City, Xiao Rui immediately hurried to Liaozhou City.

Arrived in the afternoon, and went to the Royal Commercial House for the first time, and then learned that the two of them and Liaozhou Thorn Shi Fangyuan went to Vortex Cloud Mountain to climb the mountain.

After learning the specific location, Xiao Rui did not rest for a moment, and quickly went to Wuyun Mountain, wanting to surprise Princess Xiangcheng.

Finally, at the top of the mountain, I saw Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan dancing and dancing with swords, and I was shocked and didn't go up immediately to disturb them.

I thought that I would wait for the two of them to finish before coming forward to surprise the two, but I didn't expect the two of them to walk up to a young man and talk and laugh.

That kind of smile, he had never seen before.

In an instant, all Xiao Rui's excitement disappeared, and all his expectations were in vain.

He just stood where he was, staring at the three princesses of Xiangcheng, to be precise, at Fang Yuan.

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan didn't know that Xiao Rui was coming, and they talked and laughed with Fang Yuan, and finally went down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, the sun had set, and when I returned to Liaozhou City, the sky had become dark, and there were no pedestrians on the road.

Fang Yuan first sent Du Miaoyan and the others back to the Royal Trading House, and then rode back to the Assassin Mansion alone.

It's just that halfway through, he was blocked by three people, the other party was also riding on a horse, led by a handsome young man.

"Who?"

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

It is less than 100 meters away from the Thorn Mansion.

If someone were to assassinate here, it would be unusually stupid.

"Fang Yuan, I want to have a duel between men with you!"

Xiao Rui said in a low voice.

He thought that Princess Xiangcheng had fallen in love with Fang Yuan.

Otherwise, as the princess of Xiangcheng, it would be impossible to dance for a man.

As the future concubine of Princess Xiangcheng, he also got to see Princess Xiangcheng dance once at a very grand banquet.

"Why?"

Fang Yuan was puzzled, and even wanted to laugh.

Suddenly, a stranger led someone to block the door and said: There is a duel between men.

What is this called?

It's so nonsensical.

"You rob my woman!"

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

He looked for Fang Yuan purely because he was jealous that Princess Xiangcheng was good to Fang Yuan.

This was originally Princess Xiangcheng's problem, but Princess Xiangcheng is a princess, how dare he be presumptuous?

So he blocked Fang Yuan's way, wanting to vent his anger and propose a duel between men.

"Joke, the woman I Yuan fancy is still going to rob?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

Naturally, Fang Yuan didn't know who the other party was referring to.

I say this purely out of confidence in my own invincibility.

"You!"

"Do you dare to have a duel?"

Xiao Rui's face was so angry that he almost jumped like thunder.

The horse on which he stepped seemed to feel his anger, and walked back and forth.

"Hmph, why don't you dare, how do you want to duel?"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

"Heads-up, sword competition!"

Xiao Rui let out a low sigh and pulled out his saber from his waist.

At the same time, he took the retinue's sword from the retinue and prepared to throw it to Fang Yuan.

As Xiao Yu's eldest son, he is both civil and military, and he is a very good young man.

"Okay, then it's a sword!"

"But it's dark here, let's go to the front than to compare!"

Fang Yuan agreed without hesitation.

With a sound of driving, the horse ran towards Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui subconsciously turned around and found that the front was indeed much brighter.

There is the entrance of the Assassin's Mansion, and there are two large lanterns hanging on both sides of the Assassin's Mansion gate.

At this time, Fang Yuan had already ridden past the three of them and galloped in the direction of the Thorn Mansion.

"Wait for me!"

Xiao Rui shouted.

The blade of the sword slapped on the horse's buttocks and chased after Fang Yuan.

He was in a state of war, and his anger had accumulated to a certain level, and he wanted to duel.

It's just that

Fang Yuan rode to the gate of the Thorn History Mansion and did not stop, but turned his head and rushed into the Thorn History Mansion.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Rui, who was chasing, suddenly felt bad and subconsciously pulled the horse rope.

"What are you doing in a daze?"

"Didn't you see this official being hunted down? Take! ”

Fang Yuan drank.

Because Fang Yuan suddenly rode into the assassin history, the stunned state officials suddenly came back to their senses.

Zheng Jiu bore the brunt of the attack, pulled out his saber and rushed out, seeing Xiao Rui holding a fierce sword and looking at this side.

"Who is the rat generation, who dares to hunt down and kill Master Assassin Shi."

"Dismount immediately, or kill on the spot!"

Zheng Jiu stopped in front of Xiao Rui and the others, staring at them murderously.

But if Xiao Rui and the three of them want to make a move or escape, he will immediately take action.

At this time, the state officials of the Assassin's Mansion swarmed out, and soon surrounded Xiao Rui and the three of them in the middle.

"Dismount!"

Huang Dada and others also drank heavily.

"Fang Yuan, you cheat!"

"I didn't want to hunt you down!"

Xiao Rui was furious.

He just wanted to compete with Fang Yuan alone.

He didn't think about chasing and killing Fang Yuan, after all, he knew that Fang Yuan was the assassin of Liaozhou.

The consequences of chasing and killing an assassin are very serious, and even his father is not easy to keep him.

"Holding a sword to chase and kill the official, and saying that it is not a chase, you ask the state officials present whether they believe it or not?"

Fang Yuan walked out with a sneer.

It doesn't matter if he is chasing and killing, dare to block the road and challenge, take it first.

"I just want to compete with you!"

Xiao Rui was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly threw away the long sword in his hand.

Zheng Jiu and the others didn't listen to his explanation, and slowly approached, waiting for an opportunity to arrest Xiao Rui and the others.

The two entourages brought by Xiao Rui were shocked, blocking in front of Xiao Rui and staring at the scene.

Although they were all on horseback, it was convenient to escape, but there were many state officials, and they could be injured.

And if he was caught, it was not an assassination history, and it is estimated that he would not be able to wash away the suspicion.

Therefore, they did not dare to resist, and Xiao Rui did not give an order, and in the end they were snatched of the horse rope by Zheng Jiu and others, and were forcibly pulled to the ground, with the blade on their necks.

"Fang Yuan, what do you want?"

"I never wanted to kill you, you don't want to wronged me!"

Xiao Rui struggled, staring at Fang Yuan with a hideous face.

"Who are you?"

Fang Yuan walked in front of Xiao Rui.

Under the slightly brighter light, Fang Yuan could see the other party clearly.

looks like a human, and you can see that her identity should be extraordinary by looking at her clothes, not like a killer.

Although Fang Yuan initially thought that there would be no killer to assassinate near the Assassin's Mansion, he just felt that it was just that.

If you still have to pay attention to evidence, you still have to be careful, so let Ji first go back to the Shifu to control the overall situation.

"Xiao Rui!"

Xiao Rui was angry and drank low.

He was escorted to kneel in front of Fang Yuan, which made him feel humiliated.

Obviously, he was looking for Fang Yuan to challenge to vent his jealousy, but now he knelt in front of the other party.

Such a change made him angry and angry, and his chest felt a burning sensation.

"Which Satoshi is Xiao Rui?"

"Beat this official to death!"

Fang Yuan frowned.

I seriously thought about who Xiao Rui was.

I just searched my brain, and I don't remember knowing this person.

Immediately, there was a feeling that he had been tricked, and ordered Zheng Jiu and others to greet each other.

"My father is Xiao Yu, and I am the concubine of Princess Xiangcheng!"

Xiao Rui saw that his fist was about to hit, and immediately closed his eyes and shouted.

"Pony?!"

Zheng Jiu's fist was less than a centimeter away from Xiao Rui's face.

But when he heard the word "horse", his fist stopped abruptly, and then looked at Fang Yuan nervously.

"Are you Xiao Rui?!"

Fang Yuan then remembered someone.

It is true that there are too many famous young people in Datang.

He didn't expect this Xiao Rui to be that Xiao Rui for a while.

"That's me!"

Xiao Rui snorted and struggled again.

The state officials who grabbed him were frightened by his identity, did not grasp steadily, and were struggled away.

The other two retinues did the same, struggling to break free of their restraints and approach Xiao Rui.

"Who is Princess Xiangcheng?"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

At this time, a figure appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.

Some of the speculations were also completely bright at this moment, revealing their true colors.

"Li Wanxiu!"

Royal Merchant House.

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan return.

After climbing the mountain for half a day, the two of them were tired and happy.

"Princess, miss, Xiao Gongzi came in the afternoon, I told him that you went to Yuziguan in Vortex Cloud Mountain."

Du Miaoyan's maid came to report.

"What?!"

"Xiao Rui is here?!"

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan were shocked.

There is only one way up and down the mountain.

As long as you have the heart, you can see people on the stone stairs.

But the two didn't see Xiao Rui all afternoon.

Could it be said. Xiao Rui was late, or he didn't find the two of them when he went to the top of the mountain to look for them.

But after all these years of thinking in the minds of the two of them, they felt that it was unlikely, and the Vortex Cloud Mountain was just that big.

"Wouldn't it?!"

Eventually, the two looked at each other.

also thought that Xiao Rui might go to Fang Yuan.

Both of them knew Xiao Rui and knew that Xiao Rui was a very jealous person.

If you see the two of you dancing and dancing the sword for Fang Yuan on the top of the mountain, you will definitely be very angry.

And the result must be to find Fang Yuan for revenge, after all, he doesn't dare to find the princess theory now.

"No, no."

"If he goes to find Fang Yuan, my identity will be exposed."

Princess Xiangcheng was shocked and hurriedly ran in the direction of the gate.

She didn't mind her identity being revealed, but the emperor did.

The emperor also said that he would wait for the next time he came to have a showdown, and he wanted to see what Fang Yuan's expression was.

Isn't this equivalent to the two of them ruining the emperor's plan?

Du Miaoyan also quickly followed, wanting to stop things from happening.

If the emperor knows about it, it will be more difficult for Princess Xiangcheng to resist her marriage with Xiao Rui.

The two soon walked out of the Royal Comptoir.

By this time it was already dark, but the moonlight was good.

Looking in the direction of the Thorn Mansion, the hearts of the two of them jumped heavily.

Xiao Rui was surrounded in the middle by the state officials of the Assassin Mansion, and Fang Yuan was also present.

There may have been a conflict between them, otherwise there wouldn't be so many state officials.

"I'm afraid this is going to be exposed."

Princess Xiangcheng was so anxious that she stomped her feet, panicking in her heart.

"Let's go check it out."

Du Miaoyan also thought of this possibility.

But if you don't go, you can't be sure if it's really exposed.

And if it hadn't been exposed, the two might have been able to stop it.

"Stop!"

Princess Xiangcheng shouted and kept up with Du Miaoyan's pace.

Although there was obviously no conflict on the other side, she still stopped her hand to attract the attention of Fang Yuan and the others.

Sure enough, Fang Yuan and the others stopped talking, and looked at Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan one after another.

The two of them soon arrived, squeezed away the state officials, and came to Fang Yuan and the others.

"Male"

Xiao Rui held his breath and prepared to salute Princess Xiangcheng.

But before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Princess Xiangcheng.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up, too!"

Princess Xiangcheng stopped Xiao Rui and the three of them angrily.

Xiao Rui's face changed, and then his whole face sank.

He thought that Princess Xiangcheng stopped him, which was an act of eccentricity Fang Yuan.

scolded himself without asking for a reason, and scolded himself for being a future colt, presumably he was already completely devoted to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan, you are a little Liaozhou assassin history, I, Xiao Rui, will definitely not let you go, Princess Xiangcheng can only be mine.

"Fang, Fang Yuan, you didn't talk about anything, did you?"

Princess Xiangcheng didn't notice Xiao Rui's expression and looked at Fang Yuan nervously.

Du Miaoyan also looked very nervous, but she was a little more expectant.

Because if Li Wanxiu's identity as a princess is exposed.

Then there is no need to hide your identity anymore.

"Chatted a little."

Fang Yuan said calmly.

"What did you talk about?"

Princess Xiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Fang Yuan's expression towards him, he should not know his identity as a princess yet.

Otherwise, there shouldn't be such a calm at this moment.

"Chen Fangyuan, meet Princess Xiangcheng."

Fang Yuan sighed and stepped back two steps to salute.

Zhang San and the others were also present, and they were all taken aback.

After coming back to his senses, he quickly retreated behind Fang Yuan and saluted.

"I, I, Fang Yuan, I didn't mean to hide my identity from you."

Princess Xiangcheng sighed, also a little flustered.

She still cherishes the friendship with Fang Yuan.

But now he was discovered by Fang Yuan, and he was afraid that it would not be good to meet again before leaving Liaozhou.

"It's okay, I already know."

Fang Yuan shook his head, indicating that it was okay.

"Then my dad"

Princess Xiangcheng sneered.

"Guessed too."

Fang Yuan said truthfully.

"Aren't you surprised?"

Princess Xiangcheng was puzzled.

Fang Yuan was too calm, right?

Du Miaoyan felt the same way, and looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.

"I was surprised at first, but now I'm not surprised."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

"You, you already knew?"

Princess Xiangcheng's voice was much louder.

"I've known for a while."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said truthfully.

Many privileges and investigations, Fang Yuan already knew.

"You, you're so bad!"

"I knew it was mediocre."

Princess Xiangcheng scolded with a smile.

Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

"It's miserable, my father's plan has come to naught."

Princess Xiangcheng soon became melancholy.

Because of her, her father's plan came to naught.

If my father knew that it was her, I was afraid that he would blame her, right?

So one thing I was looking forward to was disturbed by her, and I must be very unhappy.

If her father is unhappy, then it is estimated that it is impossible for her to marry Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui on the side was stunned, he didn't expect Princess Xiangcheng to hide her identity, and this matter seemed to be related to the emperor.

Princess Xiangcheng sighed, depressed in her heart, but suddenly a flash of inspiration and a wicked smile:

"Fang Yuan, why don't we discuss?"
