Qin Mansion.

Yan Jiaoran's thick eyelashes trembled for a moment, as if a dragonfly flew onto her jade head, and she woke up slowly with a "ying" sound.

Huh.

Where is the dog man?

Where have you been so late at night instead of sleeping?

Yan Jiaoran came up empty-handed again.

This bastard is not home for days even though his wife is pregnant.

Where have you been!

It really is!

Yan Jiaoran was a little annoyed.

She lay on the bed, waiting and waiting. She didn't know how much time had passed, but there was still no sign of Qin Yuan.

She had no choice but to mutter with her red lotus-like lips, sit up reluctantly, turn over and get out of bed, and put on her clothes.

Yan Jiaoran pushed the door open and walked out.

An autumn breeze blew towards her, bringing a little coolness and blowing away the restlessness in her heart.

You bastard, you bastard, where are you?

Yan Jiaoran was filled with joy and searched the Qin Mansion with brisk steps as if she was playing hide-and-seek.

"Are you in the study thinking of good strategies for me to govern the country?"

Yan Jiaoran murmured, quickened her pace, and ran towards the study.

Unfortunately, the study was dark and empty.

"Is it in the kitchen?"

"After all, men often eat midnight snacks." Yan Jiaoran said.

However, the kitchen was also dark and empty.

"You bastard, where have you been?"

Yan Jiaoran became more and more anxious and searched the entire Qin Mansion, but still could not find Qin Yuan.

Where are the people, where are the people!!!

Where did you run off to?

Yan Jiaoran found nothing and was extremely surprised.

Although, he always wanted to turn the Qin Mansion upside down.

But when she was really alone, she didn't want to do anything.

I don’t want to go to the kitchen to find something delicious to satisfy my taste buds.

I also don't want to go to the study to shop and see if this bastard has secretly hidden any good things.

"well--"

Yan Jiaoran sighed. Life was so boring without this bastard.

You'd better not let me come here for nothing tonight!

Otherwise, you will be in trouble tomorrow!

Time passes by every second.

Yan Jiaoran sat at the head of the bed, distraught.

Will the dog man come back tonight?

Will it come?

Will you come?

Will come!

…

As the sun rises, light smoke and mist appear dreamily between the houses. The occasional chirping of insects makes the world seem even more quiet and lonely. The bright morning sun is gradually rising from above the mist, spewing out magnificent morning light.

In the early morning, the streets of Jingzhou City gradually became lively. People came out of their homes one after another, and peddlers and vendors hawked their wares along the streets:

"steamed stuffed bun--"

"Selling coal..."

at the same time.

Yan Jiaoran also woke up slowly in the palace.

So, this bastard didn't come back all night?

Where did he go!

Yan Jiaoran was so anxious that she didn't even bother to change clothes or wash up. She called Jinlian over and asked coldly:

"Where did Qin Yuan go last night?"

Jinlian replied calmly, "I left the city early yesterday morning."

"Leaving the city?" Yan Jiaoran was stunned. "What is he doing outside the city?"

Jinlian replied expressionlessly, "I went south of the Yangtze River with the Shen Ce Army."

"ah?!"

Yan Jiaoran's eyes widened in shock.

Is this something a bastard like Qin Yuan could do?

Would he do such a troublesome thing?

No way!

Impossible!

It can’t be a feint!

Yes, it must be.

Pretending to follow the army out of the city, but actually repairing the plank road in public and secretly passing through Chencang!

Thinking of this, Yan Jiaoran asked coldly, "Has he been following the army?"

"I've been following you and never left." Jinlian hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully.

"I understand. Go down."

Yan Jiaoran is like a banished immortal carved from jade and made of ice, who is detached from worldly affairs and is so cold that it makes people feel chilled.

Jinlian glanced at her, hesitated to speak, and finally retreated.

That bastard actually went to the south of the Yangtze River!

I was wondering why this little girl Yanran agreed so decisively.

It turns out that this bastard is the one who is backing me up.

Haha, these two people have such a good relationship in private?

Didn't this bastard say that he wanted to trick Yanran?

What is going on!

Are you lying to me?

Oh, you bastard!

Also, Murong Yanran!

What a good trick!

They actually managed to get that bastard Qin Yuan to Jiangnan!

hehe!

How could I not know that you are such a little girl!

Bastard!

Leave me alone in Jingzhou!

…

At the same time, Qin Yuan and his group were riding horses on the official road.

“A-choo——”

Qin Yuan suddenly sneezed.

"Has Lord Qin caught a cold? Why don't you ask the imperial physician to see him? Don't delay his treatment." Murong Yanran was very concerned.

"What could possibly happen to him? He must have done something bad and people are talking about him!"

Li Yinhuan smiled, and small dimples appeared on her cheeks, as if the room was full of blooming flowers, dazzling and fascinating.

"Sister, you are talking nonsense again! Big brother is not that kind of person!" Li Dejian spoke up to defend his idol.

"Why don't we find a carriage?" Murong Yanran said with some concern. "We have received the imperial decree this time, so there's no need to go incognito, right?"

Qin Yuan shook his head and explained, "The distribution of labor service per mu is a matter of great importance. I still need to see the situation at the grassroots level with my own eyes before deciding how to adjust it."

"If we raise the flag, I'm afraid we will only see peace."

"Big Brother is right. I'm afraid you're the only one in the world who cares so much about the suffering of the people. You personally take care of everything, fearing any accidents!"

Li Dejian seized the opportunity and began to brag.

"Oh!"

Li Yinhuan was not happy with her brother being brainwashed. She smiled coldly and said with contempt:

"Does this count as an incognito visit?"

"The Shen Ce Army is surrounding us, no more than fifty miles away. I'm afraid anyone with a discerning eye can see it!"

"It's better to be prepared." Qin Yuan shrugged.

It's said to be a secret visit, but it can't really be a secret visit!

He is not the kind of person who seeks death.

With so many enemies, if someone targets you, wouldn’t that be like walking into a tiger’s mouth?

So, for safety reasons.

Qin Yuan not only asked Li Yinhuan to disperse the army around and march in a dispersed manner, but also to put on a grand battle formation.

He also brought Li Yinhuan, the most capable fighter, with him, and ten elite knights as guards.

Then, hundreds of Li Yaoshi's personal cavalry were scattered at varying distances within a radius of twenty miles. They would arrive in an instant with just a whistling arrow.

In this way, you can ensure that you can see the real situation at the bottom to a certain extent, and ensure your own safety.

The best of both worlds.
