"It's best if I can't get married."
Yan Xiao said snappily, looking at Shen Qin with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
If it was in the past, Shen Qin would have thought that she was the one who would ruin her chance to meet her. However, ever since she heard about her past, she didn't dare to think like this anymore.
Feeling stifled, she silently lowered her eyes and asked, "But when did this subordinate offend the Pavilion Master?"
If she hadn't offended him, why would he have ruined her plans time and time again?
Yan Xiao also noticed the depression in Shen Qin's tone, and his heart sank, as though he was afraid that she would blame him. He wanted to explain, but opened his mouth, and only said: "Are you really that anxious to get married? Do you really think these people are worthy of you? Do you like them in your heart? "
Like...
These two words, were exceptionally heavy in Shen Qin's heart at the moment, and it suddenly made her feel that these two words were a little extravagant to her.
"It doesn't matter whether you like her or not. Don't a lot of couples get along with each other in the future?"
Shen Qin's answer made a burst of anger rise from Yan Xiao's chest for no reason, and his face also darkened along with it.
At this time, at the entrance of Jindu, a man dressed in a soldier's attire rode his horse and directly rushed in from outside the city gates. His armor had many wounds on him, and his body was still stained with heavy blood.
In the next second, the soldier fell from his horse. The city guards hurried to help him up as they listened to his weak breathing.
"Sewage... Relief food... "I've been robbed …"
Yan Xiao, who was inside the teahouse, had a dark face as he turned his head to look at the silent and cold Shen Qin, and his furious gaze focused on her face. Just as he was about to speak, a subordinate's anxious voice came from outside the private room, "Your highness, the emperor has an urgent matter that requires your presence at the palace."
Imperial study –
"How preposterous!"
Yan Shuo knew that the relief food sent to Yizhou was robbed two days before he entered Yizhou City, and the Western Mountain Battalion General Liu Song, who was in charge of escorting the relief food, was also killed in the process of plundering the relief food.
When Yan Xiao walked in, inside the imperial study, the Prime Minister Wang and the Minister of Revenue were there.
Before he came, Yan Xiao had already known about the robbery of the relief food, and seeing Yan Shuo's gloomy face, he knew that it was not a simple matter.
"Sixth Uncle, you're here."
Yan Shuo described the details of how the relief food was robbed to Yan Xiao. After that, Yan Xiao's brows knitted together.
"Even the Western Mountain Battalion's general was killed by them?"
When the Northern Frontier had been in chaos, Liu Song had been a deputy general who went out with the army. How could a general with such experience in the battlefield be killed by a few robbers?
From what the soldier said, the people who robbed the relief food were well-trained, their movements were fast and coordinated, they were more like a well-trained army, and with his guesses towards the Yizhou in the past few days, Yan Xiao was sure that this time, the rescue food attack was definitely not an easy task.
"Your majesty, the relief food has been robbed. The current situation of this Yizhou is still unclear, so it's best for this humble subject to lend a hand."
Before Yan Yuan left for the Yizhou, they had mentioned in the imperial study that the Yizhou was related to the assassination attempt on the three of them. Furthermore, this time, their relief food had been robbed, so the moment Yan Xiao mentioned that they needed to go to the Yizhou to help Yan Yuan, Yan Shuo immediately understood what he meant.
"Alright, I will order a few royal shadow guard to follow you to the Yizhou. If you have any news, send someone to report it at any time."
"Yes."
Because of the urgent situation, after Yan Xiao left the palace, he immediately rushed to Prince Rui's Palace, packed up some clothes, and prepared to set out for Yizhou.
A few royal shadow guards were already waiting outside the palace. When they saw him come out, they immediately went up and greeted him, "Greetings, King Rui Lord."
"Let's go."
They jumped on their horses and prepared to set off.
Before he even reached the city gate, Shen Qin's voice came from behind him, "Pavilion Master!"
Yan Xiao pulled the reins of the horse and pulled it forcefully, followed by the sharp sound of a horse hissing. When he turned around, he saw Shen Qin standing there with her backpack in hand, looking at him with clear and bright eyes.
Yan Xiao held onto the reins of the horse tightly with a cold expression on his face, "What is it?"
Shen Qin pursed her lips, and then, a look of determination appeared on her face, "This subordinate will follow Pavilion Master to the Yizhou."
Hearing that, Yan Xiao frowned, if he went somewhere else, she would take the initiative to follow him, and he would agree without hesitation.
But right now, the Yizhou's water was very deep, he didn't even have the slightest clue as to what kind of dark hands were hiding behind them. Under such circumstances, how could he let her take the risk?
"What are you doing?"
he asked, his face darkening.
"This subordinate knows that the situation over at Yizhou is unclear. The Crown Princess Jing is over there, she is this subordinate's best friend, this subordinate does not trust her."
Before she came, Shen Qin had already found a very good reason for herself. Thus, when Yan Xiao just spoke, she had answered as if she was pondering deeply.
Naturally, she did not dare admit it in front of Yan Xiao. She was worried that he would go to the Yizhou, even if she knew that the few followers behind Yan Xiao were all powerful experts.
"The King Jing will take care of the people there, so you don't have to worry, stay in the capital."
With that, he retracted his gaze, pulled on the reins, and turned back to the shadow guards behind him. "Let's go."
"Pavilion Master!" Pavilion Master! "
No matter how Shen Qin called out, Yan Xiao did not turn back as she rushed out of the city gate.
On the other hand, on the other side of the Yizhou, Yan Yuan tricked Zhu Yi Dou, forcing him to use all of the food and food that he had taken for free as a relief.
It was just that the information he had received made Yan Yuan's face turn a little ugly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Yan Yuan coming back from the outside, Liu Ruo Qing's face did not look too good, and she couldn't help but to reveal a bit of worry in her heart.
"The relief food was taken."
Yan Yuan's voice was a little low, obviously because he was angered by this matter.
"What, robbed?"
Before the relief food had even arrived, she already felt that something was wrong. She didn't expect that it would be taken away by someone.
She frowned, looked at Yan Yuan, and comforted him: "It's a good thing that the disaster at Yizhou has temporarily stabilized. We'll slowly investigate the matter regarding the relief food."
In any case, their original purpose for coming to the Yizhou was not just to provide relief.
Yan Yuan nodded his head, afraid that Liu Ruo Qing would worry about him, so he did not ask any further on this issue, but said: "I have news from the capital, Sixth Brother will be coming over."
"Since Sixth Brother is here to help, then you will have a much easier time. I believe that sooner or later, we will find out about some of Yizhou's tricks."
