C937 937 Sentinel Candidate

Xia Tao Hua was not angry either, and continued to speak, "Your Highness should be able to see Princess Hua-Yang's current state of expression. Prince, don't worry, my brother's future is in your hands, I won't take Princess Hua-Yang's life as a joke, as long as I, Xia Tao Hua, am still alive, I will definitely let her live."

Xia Tao Hua's words suddenly moved Yan Yuan's heart, but she did not put down her worries. She did not ignore her premise —

As long as I, Xia Tao Hua, am still alive.

But, who could guarantee that she, Xia Tao Hua, would be able to live?

Yan Yuan frowned, his thin lips slightly pursed, it was a rare occasion for his to be merciful when he asked about her disease, and said: "Since you can cure the disease, why can't you cure it yourself?"

"I've never heard of it. How can you overlook a physician?"

Xia Tao Hua asked with a light smile, his eyes a little absent-minded.

Her illness could not be considered an incurable disease, but it was extremely difficult to find a cure for it. This was also the reason why her master had never come back after disappearing for so many years.

If his Master had found that herb, she would have returned a long time ago.

Xia Tao Hua did not tell any of these things to Yan Yuan. After all, this Prince Jing did not have any interest in knowing things that had nothing to do with Crown Princess Jing.

Yan Yuan knew that Xia Tao Hua had some things he did not want to say, but just as Xia Tao Hua was thinking, he did not ask about the things that had nothing to do with Qing Er.

Then, he stood up and left Xia Tao Hua's room.

Liu Ruo Qing went back to her room to wait, but she saw that Yan Yuan had returned. When he pushed open the door to come in, a surprised look flashed past her eyes.

He thought that he would stay with Xia Tao Hua for a while longer.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Yan Yuan lowered his eyebrows and looked at her. He lifted his hand to scratch her nose and said: "Do you really wish that I wouldn't be willing to come back here from another woman?"

Yan Yuan's question stunned Liu Ruo Qing. The answer was yes or no, and it seemed wrong, so she did not reply, but smiled at Yan Yuan, and laughed and went over.

Seeing her current state, Yan Yuan unnoticeably creased his eyebrows a little, but did not say anything.

However, in his heart, he was praying for Xia Tao Hua to really be able to cure him.

Two days later, Yan Yuan received the news from Yan Xiao's side. The people he sent out to follow the Grand Preceptor Pang finally got the clue about Ye Man.

Although Ye Man was not in the Huiyang City at the moment, he was not far from there. It was just that Yan Xiao's men only knew the approximate location, it would not be easy for them to find Ye Man in the vicinity.

On this day, a person came to the door of Huiyang City's magistrate court and indicated that he wanted to see Yan Yuan.

When Yan Yuan saw the token the person handed over, he immediately ordered people to let him in.

"This lowly officer greets Prince Jing."

"No need for formalities."

Yan Yuan looked at the man in front of him and said: "Duke Xiang has specially sent some money guards to meet this king, is there something important?"

The person who came was Qin Xuan's bodyguard, Qian Wei. Qin Xuan had sent Qian Wei to personally meet him, so it must be something important.

"In reply to Your Highness, my Prince does have some important matters to discuss with Your Highness, but since Your Highness couldn't leave, I've come."

As Qian Wei said this, he took out an envelope from his chest pocket and handed it over to Yan Yuan, saying: "This is a letter my Prince has sent to you, your highness. Please read it."

Yan Yuan opened the envelope and saw Qin Xuan's handwriting on it. Yan Yuan read all the way until the end and then started to frown.

"Qin Mu Huai is in such a hurry to send out his troops?"

The letter that Qin Xuan wrote to him stated that Qin Mu Huai had transferred over a hundred thousand troops that he had under his command, and had even mobilized thirty thousand Imperial Guards from the capital.

The Imperial Guard Army was responsible for the security of the Imperial City. Qin Mu Huai had even called out thirty thousand of the Imperial City's soldiers.

How could he be so confident that he could win this battle? Or perhaps, he couldn't wait any longer and could only put everything on the line?

Qin Mu Huai called out a hundred and thirty thousand soldiers, which meant that there was probably a lot in the xieqing, and there were currently no generals in the xieqing that could help him, but, with the Hundred Feet Worm dying, no matter how useless the xieqing was, he was still one of the Four Great Empires. Even if he could only send out a hundred thousand soldiers to join hands with the Nanling, he had an army of two hundred and thirty thousand soldiers.

An army of two hundred and thirty thousand wasn't a small number.

Qian Wei looked at Yan Yuan's gloomy face and did not speak. If there was anything to say, the King's letter should have already explained it to Prince Jing, so everything depends on how King Jing decides.

After a long while, Yan Yuan nodded his head and said: "I shall write a letter and have the money guards bring it back to Duke Wei, tell him that I know what the Duke has said in his letter, and also thank the Duke on my behalf for his help."

"Yes."

After Qian Wei left, Yan Yuan's expression once again sank. His face that was densely covered in dark clouds, became filled with an ice-cold expression.

This matter, if he didn't end it quickly, would surely become a huge problem.

Because was here in Nanling, the fact that he had mobilized his forces could not be hidden from him. As a result, the news that Easternum received was fast enough for Easternum to be prepared to mobilize his forces.

And right now, there was still a big problem that the Easternum had to face, and that was leading the troops.

Zhao Ming Palace –

"Right now, the small nations at the borders have yet to completely settle down. General Zheng absolutely cannot leave the borders."

"That's right, Your Majesty. Once General Zheng leaves the border, those small countries will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"…"

In the main hall, the officials were all discussing this trip to South Mirror to clear away the two vassal lords of South Mirror and stir up trouble.

The two vassal lords of Nanling were already ready to act when the King Wei was in chaos. However, because of the timely suppression by the imperial government, they were unable to succeed.

However, because the imperial government had encountered many wars in the past few years, even a large country like the Easternum would not be able to withstand the constant fighting. Thus, the two vassal lords Nanjing had managed to escape the opportunity of being handed over and allowed them a chance to recuperate.

This time, just as Yan Yuan had expected, the news of the Nanling joining forces with the xieqing to attack the Easternum was spread.

If the imperial government did not take advantage of this opportunity to resolve the matter regarding the vassal lords, there would definitely be endless troubles in the future.

But now, the few generals of the court had to take care of their own important matters and could not leave their posts.

The three Princes would probably go all out to deal with Nanling and xieqing. Right now, there was no suitable candidate that could be sent out to the court.

In the great hall, the officials discussed for a long time but they could not come up with a suitable candidate. Seeing Yan Shuo not saying a word, one by one, they quietened down and all cast their gazes towards the young Monarch sitting high on the dragon throne.

Seeing Yan Shuo's hand carelessly rubbing the edge of the Dragon Throne, without looking at them, he spoke with a heavy voice: "That won't do, those won't do, why don't we do it ourselves, how about it?"
