Yan Xiao nodded his head, and said: "That day, the soldier who escaped back to the capital mentioned that the person who took away the food and rations was well-trained, and definitely not as simple as a common bandit."
"In that case, what Qin Sang said might be true. The Yizhou really has a hidden army."
From the very beginning, they had been skeptical about the news brought by Qin Sang. However, from the looks of the situation, it was hard to say if there really was such an army.
"When Qin Sang rushed in front of my horse that day, she indeed suffered from extremely severe internal injuries. If I didn't save her, then her injuries to that extent would have been fatal."
This was also the reason why Yan Xiao had been hesitating this entire time, "If they were using a trick out of pain, then their attack would also be too heavy."
Hearing this, Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows, but could not determine what kind of emotion he was in, and asked: "Sixth Brother, are we back to normal?"
With that said, Yan Xiao's blade flew over, seeing that Yan Yuan did not seem to care, he said: "Only a fool would trip over the same rock twice."
Yan Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer.
"Moreover, Qin Sang's appearance was too coincidental."
It just happened that when he was about to rush to the Yizhou, she appeared. If she wanted to tell her that the Yizhou had many opportunities, there was no need to wait until now.
"Then what are you going to do? Keep her by your side? "
Yan Yuan asked, seeing that Yan Xiao's lips were slightly raised, his slender fingers lightly brushed across the smooth table and said: "There's naturally a use in keeping her here."
Following that, Yan Yuan discussed the matter of the Yizhou's water calamity with Yan Xiao, and also told Yan Xiao about his suspicions of the Second Marquis's kindness.
After a while, Yan Xiao nodded his head, and with a frown, he said, "If it really is second brother, then this Yizhou is going to be even more difficult than we imagined."
"But if that army really does exist and we don't have any clues at the moment, then we can't just drag it out like this."
Yan Yuan said. Seeing that Yan Xiao was still deep in thought, he did not disturb him, and after a while, heard Yan Xiao say: "Let's start with the Yizhou's water calamity."
Once Yan Xiao said this, Yan Yuan immediately understood. Then, he smiled, "Understood."
That day, no one knew what Yan Xiao and Yan Xiao discussed in their room. A few days later, news came, that the New Yi Country had sent an envoy to the capital to seek forgiveness from the imperial government for the matter of the Yizhou's water calamity.
This news quickly caused a huge sensation in the Yizhou. Especially the citizens of the Yizhou who had lost their loved ones in the flood, they were furious to the extreme and one by one, they petitioned the imperial government to punish New Yi Country.
Furthermore, with the discovery of the new Yi Nation's completed waterway, the citizens of Yizhou were naturally anxious. No one knew when the new Yi Nation would open the gates and pour water into Yizhou.
Some of the citizens felt the same way about the water calamity this time. If not for the good man sent by the imperial government, Yizhou would not have escaped this calamity so quickly.
No one could predict what would happen in the future.
A few days later, news came from the capital that the ambassadors sent by New Yi Country to seek punishment in the capital had been ordered by the Kaiser to beat up the thirty big boards and kick them out of the capital.
The Kaiser had ordered the New Yi Kingdom to fill in the water channel as soon as possible to pacify the citizens. Otherwise, the Heavenly Court would send troops to help them pave the way.
For a long time now, there had always been an unwritten rule: the two countries will cross paths and not kill each other.
After beating up that envoy for thirty times and chasing him out of the capital, Yan Shuo was determined to punish New Yi Nation severely, as a way to intimidate those restless small countries.
When the King of New Yi heard the news, she knew that the Kaiser of the Sky Dynasty was furious and immediately panicked.
At the same time, he personally wrote a letter to order the people to present it to Yan Shuo. He explained that this was not his intention, but that someone was using his name to do things.
In the past few days, Yan Xiao and Yan Yuan had been in Yizhou quietly, but their movements were extremely quick. They had been involved with the New Yi Country all of a sudden, and even the mysterious power behind the Yizhou started to panic.
"Master, if the Yan Yuan brothers were to find any clues from the New Yi Kingdom, things would become troublesome."
A black-clothed person stood in front of a richly dressed man, and said with a serious expression.
The man pursed his lips without saying a word, but a trace of hostility was faintly discernable in his eyes. "I didn't expect those two brothers to move so fast."
And he could actually think of starting from that waterway.
"Blame me for being too careless."
He had always been this cautious, to the point that he made a mistake on this matter.
If it were not for the lack of military supplies, he would not have taken this route.
The black clothed man looked at the man, pursed his lips, and did not speak anymore.
After a while, he said, "Send someone to keep an eye on him from the second prince's side, and let him make some mistakes."
No matter how close the encirclement was on his side, if the Yan Yuan and Yan Yuan brothers found a gap in the New Yi Nation's side, even he would be implicated.
"Contact Qin Sang and let her think of a way to meet me."
"Yes."
As for the King Carefree Palace, Yan Yuan and started to bid their farewells to the King Carefree.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you stay for a while?"
Yan Xie looked at the two brothers with a hint of reluctance on his face.
"The king of New Yi Kingdom is investigating the matter of the waterway. There won't be a conclusion for now, so we plan to return to the capital first."
"But …" "But the army you talked about last time …"
Yan Xie knitted his brows as anxiety appeared on his face. "If Yizhou hid an army, with my current abilities, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find out."
"Don't worry, second brother. That was originally a speculation and may not be true. Once we settle the matter of New Yi Country, we will think of a way to continue searching for the army."
Just then, the guards by Yan Yuan's side ran over, "Your Highness, the things have been prepared."
"Yes."
Yan Yuan nodded, and turned to say goodbye to Yan Xie and his wife, "Second brother and second sister, take care, when you are free, go take a walk in the capital."
"Mm, got it. You guys be careful on your way."
After bidding farewell to the kind couple, the group mounted their horses and left.
Because Liu Ruo Qing was pregnant, Yan Yuan could not be at ease letting her ride the horse, so he let Shen Qin accompany her to the carriage, and in the end, it was Liu Ruo Qing who brought up the idea of letting Qin Sang ride on the carriage with his.
Just as they were about to set out from the King Carefree Palace, a person dressed in the attire of a boss appeared in front of the gates. When he saw Xie Xie, he instinctively walked over and stood behind him.
Yan Yuan sized up that person without batting an eyelid, then left expressionlessly.
"Master, King Jing and the rest have already traveled hundreds of miles from Yizhou."
"Yes, return the men we sent out first. Don't let them find out."
