He Lan Qin felt his shoulders loosen. He didn't know why, but it felt like his shoulders were missing something very important. His shoulders were extremely light.

"This time, I must thank Miss Feng Qi." Seeing that she was about to leave, He Lan Xue temporarily released her lover and sincerely thanked her.

"No need to thank me. I'm just helping Ninth Brother, I don't really want to help you. However, Your Royal Highness, your female attire really makes us feel inferior. Although He Lan Xue was angry, she was unable to throw a tantrum at Feng Qi. Everything about that woman was very open and straightforward, making people unable to get angry.

"Ninth Brother, if you have the time, you should go home and take a look. Father is already old. If there were any problems in the past, it would be time to let them go." After Feng Qi finished his last sentence, he cupped his hands towards the crowd and returned to his seat, "Goodbye, everyone."

Before he finished speaking, he had already left.

Two rows of wheels were left on the ground.

This was her carriage, and she had to take it with her.

This was the despicable character of a merchant.

Feng Jiu silently cursed as he recalled Feng Qi's final words of persuasion. His expression darkened and he was silent for a long time.

How could he put it down?

He Lanqing had been watching the carriage until it disappeared from his sight. Only then did he come back to his senses, wanting to discuss plans for the future with He Lanxue.

He Lan Xue had already changed her clothes. She was wearing a long green robe and was standing leisurely by the roadside. Her hands were placed on her lover's waist. She didn't seem to be running away at all.

He Lan Qin smiled, and his tensed nerves relaxed. "A Xue, do you want to return to Suiyuan with me?"

Suiyuan, with his army, was his kingdom.

As long as He Lan Qin returned, no matter how despicable or crafty He Lan Chun was, He Lan Qin would be able to get back up — Those people there only knew of the great general and not the imperial court.

If that wasn't the case, He Lan Chun wouldn't have to fear him so much.

"Second brother wishes to stand side by side?" He Lan Xue asked indifferently.

"I'm just protecting myself." He Lan Qin didn't answer directly. After ten or so years of fighting, He Lan Qin was the one who had the most experience in battles.

If possible, he did not want to lightly challenge the fire, especially during the civil war.

— For soldiers who had fought in the same trenches, it would be the greatest tragedy if they turned their backs on each other.

He Lan Qin was a soldier, so unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't cause any tragedy.

"If possible, I want to keep the bleeding within the capital." "If Second Brother believes me, then give me half a year's time. In this half year, Second Brother only needs to stabilize the northern front and not give the Yan Kingdom an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"What are you going to do?" He Lan Qin asked in astonishment, "After this incident, the Chundi Emperor will definitely spare no effort to clean up your forces, including the First Heaven Pavilion. It will be too dangerous for you to stay in the mainland. I insist that you come back with me. "

Only the army was safe.

"Second Brother, once we go back together, there will inevitably be a war. Jiangnan was originally suffering from a drought, and the people won't be able to survive. At that time, the country's strength will be greatly damaged. He Lan Xue said flatly, "As for what I plan to do, Second Brother does not need to worry. Pei Ruochen intends to use us to get rid of Eldest Brother … "He Lan Chun, can't I just use the strategy to my advantage and achieve my own goals?"

He Lan Qin went silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "You've always had your own thoughts. It's useless for others to try and dissuade you. No matter what, if you encounter any difficulties, go find me at Suiyuan."

"Alright, second brother will also have to take good care of himself." He Lan Xue said. She suddenly became moved and looked deeply at He Lan Qin. She thought: this farewell, I don't know when I'll be able to see you again.

The Royal Sky Room was often a gathering of fate.

At this moment, he was speaking gently. How could he know if they would meet again? Wasn't this a clash of swords?

"Looking for me." He Lan Qin quickly muttered these two words and then suddenly leaned over. He used a bear hug just like when he was young, he held He Lan Xue's head and kneaded it with all his might.

She was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

He Lan Qin released He Lan Xue before turning around. He pulled his wife into his embrace and hugged her tightly. "Have a son soon. I'll be waiting to hug my nephew."

Her lover was hugged to the point where he almost died. After releasing her with great difficulty, she was once again carried by He Lan Xue into her embrace.

"I will not disappoint second brother." A Xue's answer was very ambiguous.

Her lover looked up at the sky again.

As a result, He Lan Qin turned around and walked in Sui Yuan's direction with large strides.

Just a moment ago, it was still as lively as before. In the blink of an eye, everyone split up.

She looked at the stone pond where Rong Xiu and Yi Jian had gone to, then looked in Sui Yuan's direction. Lowering her head, she once again observed the ruts on the ground, and then, he slightly turned his head, looking at her.

Her face was calm. She leaned against him very obediently, her feet touching the ground as she played by herself.

A stream of warmth suddenly flowed through She Lan Xue's heart before calming down.

The people around her flowed like the flowing clouds and water. Only she had yet to leave.

"Cough, cough." "Your Highness, let's return to Fallen Phoenix Manor for now. We can plan our next step when Yi Jian returns from the stone pond." Feng Jiu, seeing He Lan Xue's expression, immediately interrupted his train of thought and spoke with a serious tone.

He Lan Xue nodded. She held her lover tighter and said lightly, "Let's go."

Her lover hurried after her, the warmth in his hands thick and strong.

He did not walk fast, because he had to take into account her steps.

The woman lowered her head slightly, and her steps landed on his rhythm.

Together, they walked in the direction of Fallen Phoenix Manor.

The group of people, one east and one west, one south and one north, had disappeared without a trace.

It wasn't until midnight that Soo Soo finally reached Stonecroft City, which was about twenty miles away.

When they arrived, the sky was already filled with starlight.

The city gates were closed.

Seeing that she was unable to enter the city, Yi Jian did not dare to leave early. He stood not far away from her, carefully inspecting his surroundings.

Rao Xiu tightened her clothes and looked at the nearby city. She walked over and sat down slowly with her back to the city wall. She crossed her arms and hugged her knees as she looked at the road she had come from.

Yi Jian didn't dare move. He was just about to find a place to spend the night when he suddenly heard Rong Xiu ask, "Are you Yi Jian?"

Yi Jian was startled. He hesitated for a moment and then walked out softly.

He walked in front of Rong Xiu and bowed respectfully. "Esteemed Empress."

"Did A Xue ask you to protect me?" Murong Xiu asked in a soft voice.

Yi Jian nodded. "Your highness is worried that the Empress will encounter danger on her way."

"A Xue is always so gentle." "Tell me, why do you think I fell in love with His Majesty instead of him?"

Yi Jian scratched his head, not knowing how to reply.

"Yi Jian, you must hate me, right? Because... Because I have harmed your prince. " Murong Xiu raised his eyes and asked again.

Yi Jian boldly looked at her. Under the starry sky, her pretty face was as white as the moon, pale as the moonlight, her beauty was so beautiful that it was hazy — she was a woman that the king had been infatuated with for more than ten years. Yi Jian suddenly understood that the king had a reason to be infatuated with her.

At least, she was brave.

"The Empress also had no choice." To be honest, Yi Jian did hate her, but when Murong Xiu asked him, he felt that she wasn't that hateful.

It was just a last resort. If a woman loved a man, then, in the name of love, anything she did would not be annoying.

Rong Xiu smiled gratefully.

"Yi Jian, go back and guard A Xue. He's more dangerous than me right now. It doesn't matter if I wait here for a while." After a while, she said, "Besides, it's like this. A Xue can't keep watch over me like she used to. He has other responsibilities. "

"The Prince ordered me to watch until the Empress enters the city before I can leave." Yi Jian was not moved and answered seriously.

"Yi Jian, what do you think of Yi Ren? She and A Xue … "Okay?" Rong Xiu knew that he was trying to persuade Yi Fangyi to not use his sword. She paused and then turned to another topic.

Yi Jian scratched his head again, his face couldn't help but reveal a smile. "Princess, it's a real one. How should we put it, it's a very magical person." I don't know what I'm doing or what I'm thinking all day, but it makes me feel very comfortable and at ease. " Thinking of how his wife usually slept soundly and how He Lanxue was so anxious that she scratched her ears and face, thinking of her husband's occasional persistence and stubbornness, Yi Jian felt that it was really hard to explain clearly with just a few words. However, his mood became strangely cheerful.

"Ah Xue's hand is crippled?" Rong Xiu was shocked.

Yi Jian Fang knew that he had misspoken and was about to explain that his so-called disability was not that serious, but before he could open his mouth, his expression changed.

Yi Jian raised his sword and looked back: at some point, a group of men dressed in the night attire and wearing sharp weapons had come out of the city and surrounded them in a semicircle, trapping them within.

Murong Xiu also stood up, standing next to Yi Jian. He asked sternly, "Who are you?"

"Esteemed Empress, please calm your anger. We're the Grand Preceptor's men." The leader, a masked man dressed in black, came out from the crowd, clasping his hands and replying respectfully.

"Since you are my father's man, you shouldn't appear so sneakily." He's the one who escorted me here. Everyone, let him go first. "

Although she was gentle and weak, she had been a queen for a few years. She had a noble bearing to her, and her words were loud and powerful.

However, the black-clothed men didn't seem to have the slightest intention of retreating. They were still surrounding the Transformers Sword, their long swords in their hands, pressing forward.

"What do you want?" Rong Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

"Invite the Empress into the city, and also invite this man into the city." The person said calmly.

"What if I don't want to go into the city?" Yi Jian was also not someone to be trifled with, he gripped the sword hilt and asked coldly.

"I'm afraid it's not up to you." As the leader of the black-clothed men finished his sentence, the encirclement quickly shrunk. Just as Yi Jian was about to break out of the encirclement, he suddenly realized that the people in this encirclement were holding fishing nets in their hands. They were clearly well-trained. They did not directly face the attack of the Transformers, but moved quickly, using a fishing net to block off all escape routes of the Transformers.

Yi Jian had attacked a few times but was stopped by the fishing net. The encirclement of the fish net was sometimes large and sometimes small, but Yi Jian's strength was gradually weakening.

As the two sides locked in a stalemate, Murong Xiu, who had been left hanging on the side the entire time, suddenly charged forward. The surrounding men in black hesitated for a moment. She had already jumped over the encirclement and ran to Yi Jian's side.
