It was late at night in the Barren State and Jiangzhou,
Xu Heyun patted Chu Liangbi's shoulder heavily and walked towards the carriage that was already prepared.
The carriage sped towards the King Yan Residence.
Chu Liangbi silently watched the carriage disappear from his sight and muttered to himself,""Is this still He Yun?"
After Xu Heyun returned from Chu Liangbi's house, he no longer went out. He stayed in the Prince's mansion every day and immersed himself in martial arts.
Whenever he had free time, he would stay in the Sea-listening Tower and read all kinds of secret manuals that the Jianghu people yearned for.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the year was approaching.
Snowflakes fell on the ground.
It was as if the entire world had turned white, and even the Spring God Lake had frozen.
At this moment,
A man and a horse rushed from Jiangnan to the outside of Yanzhou City.
The rapid sound of horse hooves alarmed the guards at the city gate.
"Who are you? Riding is not allowed in the city!"
"If you want to enter the city, take off your weapons and lead your horses into the city!”
The two guards took an offensive stance and shouted loudly.
Immediately after, a hundred city gate guards rushed over upon hearing the news. One could see the high quality of Yan Bei's army.
However, at the next moment…
Everyone who saw the horse was stunned.
The woman on the horse's back had a cold but charming face.
The most eye-catching thing was her slender legs.
Although he was wearing a thick coat, it could not hide the mesmerizing temperament he exuded.
The woman was none other than Ye Ningshuang, who had returned from afar.
She got off her horse and slowly walked to the guard. She said coldly,""I'm the Second Young Master's servant, so I don't need to ride a horse. However, this weapon was given to me by the Second Young Master, so I can't take it off.”
The guard was confused.
Second Young Master? Which family's second young master?
Everyone looked at each other. Finally, someone could not help but ask,"Who is Second Young Master? This was the rule of the city, and no one was allowed to break it.”
Ye Ningshuang's lips moved slightly as she said calmly to everyone,""Second Young Master Xu Heyun is my master. Please make way!”
The hundred guards were stunned, and their expressions turned from blank to shocked. They all looked at Ye Ningshuang excitedly.
Xu Heyun was now the second son of the Xu family that most of the Yan Bei army thought highly of. He dared to personally lead the army and take the lead in Jiangzhou. He even dared to openly reject the imperial edict in front of the eunuchs in the capital.
It was truly a way for these old Yan Bei soldiers to vent their anger.
The leading guard turned his body and nodded."Are you Second Young Master's subordinate? Please come in. Lin He, Wang Tieshan, you two escort her back to the prince's mansion.”
Facing a woman who claimed to be a subordinate of the second son of the King of Yan, the general could not let her in or not let her in.
The former was because he was afraid that the other party was a spy or an assassin. If he assassinated a high-ranking official of Yan Bei or a son of an aristocratic family on the way, it would be difficult for him to escape the blame. As for the latter, if they really stopped her here, the general was afraid that the Second Young Master would blame them later.
Yan Bei's military law was strict. They would not allow a person to enter the city with a sword just because she was extremely beautiful or because she said a word. However, as a servant of the King Yan's residence, it was not appropriate to directly block her outside the city gate. They could only make this compromise.
He was escorting her, but in reality, he was monitoring her.
Ye Ningshuang naturally understood this person's intentions and did not reject him. She nodded in agreement.
Xu Heyun, who had received the news, was sitting in a pavilion in Hua Chun Yard, reading a fist manual as he waited for Ye Ningshuang's arrival.
The stove was very hot, and the crackling sound was endless.
A moment later, Ye Ningshuang walked into the courtyard with a coat and a sword in hand.
Along the way, Ye Ningshuang's expression never changed.
But when she saw Xu Heyun, she smiled and bowed.
"Young Master!"
Ye Ningshuang knelt on one knee in front of the furnace, her hands holding the emerald sword.
"Come to the stove to warm yourself up."
Seeing Ye Ningshuang return from a long journey, Xu Heyun stood up and gently brushed the snow off her body before pulling her to sit by the fire.
Ye Ningshuang's expression changed slightly as she continued,""The matter that Young Master gave me has been completed!”
Xu Heyun took the sword and asked in surprise,""Are you hurt? How are your injuries?"
"It's fine. I just need to rest for a few days."
Ye Ningshuang shook her head. She did not want Xu Heyun to worry about her.
This year,
There were only three people at the dinner table of Yan Bei's mansion.
One of them was Xu Xiao, the outstanding general of the Daliang Dynasty, one was the notorious heir of Yan Bei, Xu Qinian, and the last was the second son of the King of Yan Bei, who had a good reputation in Yan Bei.
The New Year's Eve dinner for the three of them seemed a little bleak.
However, the earth dragon in the room was very powerful. The entire room was steaming hot.
Unlike the Xu family's father and son who were eating meat, Yan Ruomou was locked up by his father in a residence in Jiang State Capital.
Meanwhile, his father, who had a strong voice in Yan Bei, was currently in the hall, plotting something big with a man.
Yan Bei's Minister Yan, who thought he had done everything flawlessly, did not know that he was being closely monitored by Yan Bei's spies.
That was because there was a piece of Xuan paper on the table.
Some people wanted to be traitors!
