Chapter 479 I am more willing than anyone else

Seeing Shao Feiyang so anxious, Gu Yuanjia deliberately said, "It was really unfair for General Shao to be the consort of Princess Xiling. Now that Xiling is in trouble, it's best for you, the ex-husband of Princess Xiling, not to get involved. Otherwise, outsiders will think that you and Princess Xiling are still connected."

When Shao Feiyang heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mu Kaiji, Song Anlan and others entered together and expressed their opinions on whether to send someone to interfere in the affairs of the Xiling court this time.

As the emperor's close ministers, they could more or less guess what his majesty meant. In addition, they were quite optimistic about Ye Ninglan taking charge of Xiling. After all, the other princes of Xiling were not good people. Previously, Xiling and the Xizhou rebels joined forces to start a war, and the princes of Xiling were not idle.

Only Ye Ninglan held down the internal situation of Xiling while going to the battlefield. The Princess of Xiling, who was most reluctant to see the war between the two countries, finally became the victim of the marriage pushed out by Xiling.

Moreover, Ye Ninglan did not add fuel to the fire during the civil unrest in Daxing. Instead, he saved the late emperor and allowed the court to quickly stabilize. The people of Daxing cannot forget such a great contribution.

Therefore, without exception, all the trusted ministers who followed the emperor to the Imperial Study agreed to send someone to Xiling to help the Princess of Xiling. The only difference was who to send...

This candidate has yet to be selected.

Shao Feiyang has volunteered to go now. He is an extremely suitable candidate, but his relationship with Princess Xiling is a bit complicated. He is afraid that he will be taken advantage of if he goes there.

However, Huo Yan and Jiang Hao were both busy chasing their wives, and did not want to leave Beijing for thousands of miles to help Princess Xiling at this moment. However, they deliberately said that they would not let Shao Feiyang go, setting a trap for Shao Feiyang.

"Anyone can go, why can't I?" Shao Feiyang was anxious, "Just because Ye Ninglan and I were once husband and wife?"

Huo Yan said, "That's right."

Jiang Hao said, "Isn't this enough?"

Shao Feiyang choked and said, "It's useless for others to go. Now Ye Ninglan is missing. No one else can find her except me!"

Gu Yuanjia asked curiously, "Why is General Shao so confident?"

Shao Feiyang said: "Anyway, I'm the only one who can find it."

General Wang, who was not very perceptive and straightforward, asked Shao Feiyang, "What if Princess Xiling is already dead?"

Very few people can survive assassinations or disappearances.

When Shao Feiyang heard this, his handsome face instantly darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about? Ye Ninglan won't die! She's very strong!"

It was the first time that General Wang saw Shao Feiyang so impulsive, and he couldn't help but say, "Shao Feiyang is so nervous about Princess Xiling, could it be that he has fallen in love with her?"

Shao Feiyang, who used to deny it immediately whenever he heard someone tease him like that, did not deny it this time.

He didn't know what was wrong with him.

Ever since Ye Ninglan left, he felt empty inside. Although he moved to the general's mansion, he couldn't help but go back to the princess's mansion at night to check on her.

He often sat in the back garden of the princess's mansion all night long, thinking of the time when he and Ye Ninglan indulged themselves in alcohol, and also thinking of Ye Ninglan saying, "When the day breaks, everything is over."

Night after night, over and over again.

If Ye Ninglan was fine, Shao Feiyang might have struggled for a while longer, but now that he heard the news that she had been assassinated and disappeared, he could not wait any longer.

He must rush to Xiling immediately and see with his own eyes that Ye Ninglan is safe and sound, only then can he feel at ease.

Seeing Shao Feiyang's expression, Huo Zheng understood what was happening. He just wanted him to face his inner thoughts as soon as possible and to enlighten him. He said to him, "Traveling thousands of miles across two countries will inevitably make Princess Xiling feel sentimental. If you have no feelings for Princess Xiling, you should let someone else go."

Everyone present agreed, saying that if the person sent to help Princess Xiling could show his true friendship with Ye Ninglan in times of trouble, there was an 80% chance that the two countries would be able to establish friendship and form a good marriage.

Gu Yuanjia said directly: "The person who goes to Xiling to help Princess Xiling this time will most likely be kept in the capital of Xiling as her husband. If Shao Feiyang has no interest in Princess Xiling, he should give this opportunity to someone who is willing to spend his life with her."

"I do!" Even if Shao Feiyang was slow-witted, he knew that his love for Ye Ninglan was irreversible. How could he give this opportunity to anyone else? He immediately shouted quickly and loudly: "I am more willing than anyone else! Please allow me to go to Xiling, Your Majesty!"

Huo Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you serious?"

Shao Feiyang said seriously: "It's absolutely true, truer than real gold!"

"Shao Feiyang, listen to my orders!"

Huo Zheng waved his hand and gave the Xizhou military token to Shao Feiyang, giving him the power to mobilize 100,000 troops. This time he went to Xizhou, he must find the Princess of Xiling and ensure that she ascended to the highest position in Xiling to maintain peace between the two countries.

Shao Feiyang took the order and left Beijing for Xiling at noon that day. He traveled day and night and arrived in Xiling in seven days and seven nights, following the secret code left by Ye Ninglan.

The news of the eldest princess' death has spread in the capital of Xiling. It is said that she was assassinated on her way back to the country. The blame was put on the people of Daxing, who said they wanted to avenge Ye Ninglan. After the funeral, they sent troops to fight the people of Daxing.

When Shao Feiyang heard the news, he deeply realized the shamelessness of those people in the Xiling royal family.

When Ye Ninglan was in the capital before, she always spoke of her brothers with great disdain, as if mentioning them any more would be a dirty word.

At that time, Shao Feiyang didn't understand that he was born in a general's family, with harmonious parents, friendly brothers and respectful younger brothers. The only setback in his life was probably being chosen by Ye Ninglan and becoming her son-in-law unwillingly.

Even this reluctance didn't last long.

However, Ye Ninglan grew up in a world of intrigue and deception. She was talented in both civil and military affairs, and had great brilliance. She cared about the people of the world, but she could only use her romantic life as a disguise, which made her notorious.

The eldest princess died on her way back to the country. The Xiling royal family held a very grand funeral. The whole city was covered with mourning clothes. Shao Feiyang rode his horse into the city, and all he saw was a sea of ​​white.

Those people from the Xiling royal family claimed that they had gone to retrieve the eldest princess' body and kept it in the princess's mansion for seven days. Today is the day of the funeral.

Several princes of Xiling were present to carry the coffin for their sister, each crying louder than the other, as if they were afraid of being outdone by their brothers.

The streets of the entire Xiling capital were cleared by the royal guards, and civilians were not allowed to walk. Only funeral processions were allowed to pass.

The long street was lined with people in sackcloth clothes. The funeral procession came out of the Princess's Mansion. The sound of suonas broke through the sky and the cries shook the earth.

Shao Feiyang didn't believe that Ye Ninglan died just like that.

He would never believe it!

With the whole city in mourning, Shao Feiyang, dressed in black, rode his horse and galloped towards the Princess's Mansion.

Ye Ninglan, I’m here to see you.
