The way back was smooth, so smooth that it was hard to believe. Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai thought that the Emperor had become smarter, and knew that Zhang Chi was wise, and knew that now was not the time to kill Xiao Jiu'an, so they sought trouble with him.
Then, just when Ji Yunkai thought that they could enter the city safely, a piece of bad news came.
The fastest news of the war between the two countries was by no means the secret intelligence of the Dark Guard, but should be news from the military.
If the imperial government insisted, Beichen not attacking Yanbei and not allowing Xiao Jiu'an to return to Yanbei. Xiao Jiu'an insisting on returning to Yanbei was equivalent to provoking the imperial government and disobeying the imperial decree.
Furthermore, when Xiao Jiu'an arrived at the capital, it would not be difficult for the Emperor to keep him for a few days if she was in the capital.
On the battlefield, a few days was enough to turn the tide of the battle and change the course of a great battle.
"Who is Beichen leading the troops?" Since Xiao Jiu'an had heard such a huge piece of news, she was also extremely calm.
"It's First Prince Beichen." Looking at the time, Beichen Tianque probably did not return to Beichen's capital and instead went straight to the border to gather her men to attack Yan Bei.
It was clear that this was a war that had been planned long ago, yet there was no movement at all.
"Beichen Tianque, he's really not afraid of death." Xiao Jiu'an was not surprised to hear Beichen Tianque's name.
At the same time, in the Revelation, only the royal family had the ability to conceal the movement at the borders and receive news from the Yanbei Army.
In order to eliminate his people and consume his power, the Emperor actually disregarded Yan Bei's situation and allowed the Prince Yanbei Army to send him to his death.
"My lord, there are also discordant voices in the army. Someone said that you … " The dark guard paused for a moment, he stealthily glanced at Xiao Jiu'an, seeing that Xiao Jiu'an's expression was calm, he swallowed his saliva and replied: There are people passing down from the army, you are not the son of the late prince, you are not like the late prince, the late wangfei and Infanta Shiqing.
This was indeed the truth. Xiao Jiu'an didn't look like a person from the Xiao Family at all. The Xiao Family had existed for several generations in northern Yan for hundreds of years. Each generation did not look like one, but under the powerful genes of the Xiao Family, each generation was more or less similar.
Only Xiao Jiu'an did not look like the Xiao Family at all. Furthermore, she did not look like's twin sister at all.
Furthermore, had always been raised in the Prince Yanbei, and had never left Yan Bei. His entire body was imprinted with the Xiao Family's brand.
But Xiao Jiu'an was different, back then … The heir of the Prince Yanbei's Mansion was kidnapped and her whereabouts were unknown. It was said that she was rescued later on, but she did not appear in front of anyone for more than ten years. No one knew what he was doing or where she lived.
It was so much so that during those more years or so, the previous Prince Yanbei's Wife had not even seen her own son. It was only when the Prince Yanbei's Mansion was in danger and Xiao Jiu'an appeared in the air and was recognized by the Prince Yanbei that everyone realized she was the successor of the Prince Yanbei's Mansion.
After the guard finished speaking, he waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Xiao Jiu'an did not speak, she quietly raised her head to glance at him, but seeing that Xiao Jiu'an was not angry or angry, the guard leader heaved a sigh of relief.
He had just finished speaking, how could their Prince not be someone from the Yan Bei Xiao Family. The king of his family was a wise and mighty figure that was simply not something that could be raised by ordinary people. If one were to say that the prince of his family was the crown prince of a country or the emperor of a country, they would all believe it.
He believed that if Xiao Shiqing really wanted to make a move, or perhaps the Emperor really wanted to do so, it was impossible for him to only spread some vague news.
"There's even someone who passed it down … The previous prince was killed by you in order to seize power. " The guard lowered his head, suppressing the rage in his heart.
After he finished speaking, he saw that Xiao Jiu'an was not angry, and continued to speak: "The people from Infanta are still trying to spread the news, they said that the whereabouts of Shiqing is unknown, and perhaps you have harmed."
The Dark Guard's professionalism made it imperative for him to report this information fairly, but …
This message was too despicable.
The previous prince had been severely injured on the battlefield, which was why he died. How did the previous prince get killed by him?
Moreover, if not for the timely appearance of their prince and his turning of the tide, there would have been no Yan Bei, and no Yanbei Army left a long time ago.
And the matter of the Shiqing Infanta, made the hidden guards even more furious.
As long as one was well-informed, they would be able to find out whether Shiqing really went missing or not. They understood clearly that Infanta was cooperating with the Emperor, but the others didn't.
Others might actually think that Shiqing had been killed or hidden by his Royal Highness.
"Shiqing, I have underestimated her." Xiao Jiu'an shook her head, a look of disappointment flashing past her eyes.
Although Shiqing and he were not siblings, but all these years, he admitted that she had taken care of Shiqing and protected him. Even when Shiqing colluded with the Emperor, he did not give any order to take Shiqing's life.
Shiqing had truly disappointed her more and more.
The guard lowered his head, not daring to speak.
He wanted to console the Duke, saying that maybe the Infanta did not know about this matter, but he could not say it out loud.
The fact that the Infanta was colluding with the Emperor was an iron-like fact, and for this matter, if it wasn't for the aid of the Infanta, the Emperor would not have been able to do it.
Xiao Jiu'an was angry that Shiqing did not live up to expectations, angry that Shiqing was stupid, and at this time, it was useless to get angry.
At this moment, there was chaos in Yanbei and Beichen's army was pressing down on the border. Yanbei had to have someone in charge, and he had to return to Yanbei as soon as possible …
