Chengshun Palace, Dongchen Kingdom.
Long Jingchen looked at the kneeling guard below and angrily rebuked him, "Why didn't you bring her back?"
The guard didn't dare to raise his head and just knelt down, saying, "The Eighth Prince said that if we act rashly now, it may cause a conflict between the two countries."
Long Jingchen frowned: "So, the Western Phoenix Kingdom just abducted the daughter of an official from my Eastern Chen Kingdom like that?"
The guard lowered his head even further, not daring to utter a single word.
"Useless trash! Get out!" Long Jingchen kicked the guard in the shoulder and left in a huff.
Seeing this, Yang Qi quickly followed behind him.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Yang Qi followed him around for a while and, seeing that he showed no sign of stopping, couldn't help but ask.
Long Jingchen suddenly stopped and turned to look at him. Yang Qi quickly lowered his head and shut his mouth.
"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from General Li."
A young eunuch ran to save Yang Qi. Yang Qi glanced at him gratefully. Before the eunuch could react, he felt Long Jingchen's cold gaze. He quickly stepped forward and handed the letter in his hand to Long Jingchen.
Long Jingchen took the envelope, opened it, glanced at it, and slowly frowned: "Summon all the ministers."
"Yes, this servant will go right away."
...
Yancheng, the city lord's mansion.
"Brother Sang." Yang Muchen looked at Sang Yun in the hall and quickly walked over.
"Brother Yang." Sang Yun stood up and clasped his hands in greeting to him.
Yang Muchen smiled and said, "Sit down."
“Alright.” Sang Yun sat down opposite him: “Brother Yang, I have come here to say goodbye.”
"Has my sister been found?" Yang Muchen's smile faded.
Sang Yun nodded: "Yes, I just received the news this morning."
Yang Muchen nodded: "Then congratulations, Brother Sang. When do you plan to set off?"
"Let's go now."
"Now?" Yang Muchen frowned. "Is it that urgent?"
“Yes.” Sang Yun nodded slightly.
Actually, he didn't know why his father was in such a hurry to call him back.
“Alright, then let’s bid farewell to Brother Sang with tea instead of wine.” With that, he picked up a cup of tea from the table.
"Mm." Sang Yun also picked up another glass, and the two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother, I..."
Yang Mu'an, who ran in from outside, immediately shut his mouth upon seeing this scene.
She gave Sang Yun a look of disgust and said rudely, "What are you doing here?"
"Mu An!" Yang Muchen scolded softly.
Yang Mu'an stomped her foot at him: "Brother! Do you even know how his sister got lost! It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin!"
After saying that, she stomped her foot and left.
Yang Muchen looked at Sang Yun and smiled awkwardly: "My younger sister is spoiled."
"It's alright." Sang Yun smiled slightly. "Brother Yang, then we shall take our leave."
"Okay." Yang Muchen led Sang Yun all the way to the main gate of the Yang residence.
"Brother Yang, please wait." With that, he mounted his horse and pulled Yang Liu up with him.
Yang Muchen frowned slightly as he looked at Yang Liu: "Brother Sang, what's going on?"
Sang Yun: "This is Miss Yang. Brother Yang, I'll explain to you another day. Farewell!"
"Alright, have a safe journey, Brother Sang."
With that, I, Sang Yun, flung the reins and left.
Yang Muchen frowned deeply as he watched the two leave. Why did this Miss Yang look so familiar?
Seeing Yang Muchen's face scrunched up like a bun, Yang Mu'an said indignantly, "He'll regret this one day!"
Yang Muchen turned around: "Do you know something?"
