Chapter 551 Painful Realization

Xiao Yan also heard about King Dai.

He reminded King Yan to be careful and not to be caught in any mistake.

He also reminded Prince Yan to send Princess Yan and Liu Yu back to Jinling as soon as possible to prevent the Emperor from taking action against them.

After reading the letter, King Yan fell silent.

Mr. Zhuge asked tentatively, "Your Highness, what did Xiao Yan say in the letter?"

"He told me to be careful," the Prince of Yan said in a low, hoarse voice, his eyes mingling with lingering pain and surging indignation. "Was the Prince of Dai not careful enough? Or was it the Prince of Huai? The Prince of Huai was born with a disability. How could he pose any threat to the man on the throne? What was the result? One was imprisoned for life, the other's entire family was wiped out!"

The new emperor doesn't need a reason to deal with anyone he wants to deal with.

Others are the butchers and I am the meat.

What's the use of begging for mercy and showing loyalty?

He was still slaughtered, and even his wife and children were implicated.

Prince Yan may be a bit indecisive at heart, but his wife and son are his weak spots.

If King Dai had died himself, he might not have felt such deep indignation and sorrow.

But this family was almost wiped out, not even a single person was left alive, which is really heartbreaking.

Mr. Zhuge thought that Xiao Yan's letter came at the perfect time.

He really understood the prince's thoughts thoroughly.

"Then, Your Highness, how do you plan to respond?" Mr. Zhuge asked cautiously.

"Sir, we must make some preparations." The King of Yan read the letter again. "By the way, Xiao Yan said he would send me a shipload of things. I wonder what it is."

The main thing is that this ship is not coming to Nanjing, but is going to an isolated island in the East China Sea.

It's mysterious and hard to see through.

"I'm going to ask him directly what he's up to."

Seeing the miserable end of his two younger brothers, the Prince of Yan was aroused to his bloodiness.

Even my mind feels clearer.

He said, "Xiao Yan is not a good person."

Mr. Zhuge was stunned.

Then the King of Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Yan is vindictive. No one knows him better than me. Not even Lu Qinniang can do that."

He slept on the same bed with Xiao Yan earlier than Lu Qinniang.

"What he gave me must be something shameful," King Yan said again.

Xiao Yan is a two-faced person.

He advised King Yan to be patient, but in fact he knew that King Yan was on the verge of collapse and could not endure it at all.

Therefore, what he sent was definitely not something that would make King Yan behave himself.

Thinking of this, King Yan suddenly changed his mind.

"Forget it, let's not ask him. Have the horses and boats prepared, and I will go and see for myself."

"This isn't appropriate," Mr. Zhuge said hastily. "Your Highness, what if, what if there's danger?"

"This is a letter sent by me. I will never mistake Xiao Yan's handwriting." King Yan said firmly.

"No, what I mean is, if Xiao Yan were to treat the prince..."

"Xiao Yan is not that kind of person." King Yan waved his hand, "Let someone make the arrangements. I will set off immediately."

Mr. Zhuge thought to himself, this person is not a good person, he is two-faced, yet you trust him so much.

Maybe this is just "birds of a feather flock together"?

In any case, the King of Yan's style of "don't employ people if you doubt them, and don't doubt people if you employ them" makes everyone under him feel at ease.

It took the King of Yan three days to reach the small island isolated in the sea.

A large ship has docked at the shore.

But there was no sign of the boatman and others.

There was only one large ship left there.

Prince Yan stood alone at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze blowing his robe.

After a while, everyone who had checked came back.

"Your Highness, there's no one on the boat. Judging from the traces, they probably brought the small boat, delivered the items, and then left."

"Yes." King Yan nodded and looked towards the cabin. "What's in the cabin?"

"Your Highness, it seems, it seems, to be iron ore."

Prince Yan stroked his beard, a smile on his face, "Okay, okay."

Xiao Yan really gave him a big gift.

He was not wrong.

As expected, Xiao Yan "pretended to" persuade him to endure it, but at the same time he began to put swords into his hands with all his strength.

You should know that the product that the imperial court controlled most strictly was not salt, but iron.

I don’t know how Xiao Yan got so much ore without anyone noticing.

Erya said it was her.

Not all under heaven belongs to the king.

When the business grows bigger, there are many possibilities.

Whatever she needs, she can get it.

After returning, King Yan immediately sent his confidants to the island to refine weapons.

He wrote back to Xiao Yan and expressed his attitude bluntly.

——He was not only afraid that the new emperor's anger would burn him, but he also didn't want the foundation laid by his ancestors to be destroyed by the new emperor.

He needs Xiao Yan to help him.

Xiao Yan's reply consisted of only two words.

——Wait.

The King of Yan was a man who hesitated before making a decision, but once he made a decision, he acted decisively.

The only thing he was worried about now was the Princess of Yan and Liu Yu in the capital.

He wanted to bring them back.

But in the end he did not write to urge them.

Because of love brain, at least one thing is clear.

He knew what kind of soul he fell in love with.

The Princess of Yan stayed in the capital with her young son to show the new emperor that the Prince of Yan would behave himself.

She was buying more time for King Yan.

The King of Yan could only hide his thoughts and worries deep in his heart, and at the same time speed up his planning.

At the same time, Xiao Yan was talking to Lu Qiniang about his plans.

"You're faking your own death?" Lu Qiniang was shocked. "Why? Did you hear from Yun Ting that the Emperor is planning to take action against you?"

Xiao Yan now hides nothing from Lu Qiniang.

Therefore, Lu Qiniang was also very aware of the new emperor's brutal actions.

Lu Qiniang prayed in her heart almost every day, hoping that the new emperor would not remember Xiao Yan.

As long as they don't think about it, they can still live a peaceful life in Qiongzhou.

"No, I'm going to take action against him." Xiao Yan said calmly.

Lu Qi Niang: "...Okay."

As expected, it’s Xiao Yan.

Use the calmest tone to say the harshest words.

It's much better than those men who brag about everything but are actually full of nonsense.

"That's not right. You attacked him, so why did you pretend to be dead?" Lu Qiniang asked, "You weren't pretending to be dead to lower the emperor's guard so that you could go to the capital and assassinate him."

For Lu Qiniang, Xiao Yan's heroic deeds in expelling the Hu people were only legends.

After she and Xiao Yan were together, she felt more of his strength as an "assassin".

Whoever you point at will die.

Xiao Yan wanted him to die at three o'clock in the morning, but that man would never live past five o'clock.

"That's impossible. The palace is heavily guarded and assassination is not possible." Xiao Yan said.

"Oh, then tell me, what are you going to do?"
