Chapter 904: Advance and retreat together
After pondering for a moment, Yelu Cheng drew out his sword again and swung it towards Xiao Zhan's head.
However, Xiao Zhan did not move at all, appearing extremely calm, with only a few strands of hair gently falling to the ground.
Yelu Cheng deflected the sword at the last moment, only cutting off a few strands of hair without hurting the opponent at all.
He originally wanted to scare Xiao Zhan, but he saw that there was no fear in the other party's eyes, but instead a hint of contempt.
"You do have guts."
Yelu Cheng snorted coldly: "I don't believe you are really not afraid of death."
"Who isn't afraid of death?"
Xiao Zhan said calmly: "But I believe that His Highness will not hurt me, so I am not afraid."
Yelu Cheng turned his head away, unwilling to look at Xiao Zhan, because he felt that his thoughts had been seen through from the very beginning, and this feeling made him very unhappy.
"Third Prince, please let me pass!" Xiao Zhan saluted respectfully.
"Okay, I'll let you go."
Yelu Cheng sneered: "I want to see what kind of deal you are going to make with my father."
Jiang Xue led the team back to Gan Country. Lan Feng was relieved and surprised to see her return alone.
Jiang Xue rarely changed her mind, so he was curious about how Xiao Zhan convinced her.
"Yun Che and I have agreed that he will go to Xixia first, and I will follow him." Jiang Xue explained.
"Princess, since Lord Xiao has already gone to Xixia, you don't have to take the risk yourself."
Lan Feng suggested: "Why not send someone else to handle it, and you wait here for the results."
“What if the results are not satisfactory?”
Jiang Xue asked back: "This concerns the safety of the emperor and Yun Che, I must go to the scene in person. We have an agreement to advance and retreat together."
"But this journey is full of dangers."
Lan Feng hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his concerns:
"The emperor is seriously ill now, and the future is unpredictable. If anything happens to him, as the only heir to the royal family, you need to stabilize the country and should not take risks."
Jiang Xue smiled and responded, "Lan Feng, don't worry. Someone once said that I have an excellent destiny and I can overcome any difficulties no matter how big they are. So I am sure that this journey to the west will be safe."
Lan Feng frowned: "When did the princess start to believe in fortune-telling?"
"Although I always believe that destiny is in our own hands, it doesn't hurt to believe in these things occasionally."
Jiang Xue replied: “I have considered your concerns, but sometimes you have to find opportunities in risks.
The Gan Kingdom has been fighting against Xixia for many years, and it is time to solve this problem. The main purpose of our trip is to obtain the antidote, but if we can take the opportunity to disrupt Xixia's internal affairs, wouldn't it be better? "
Lan Feng suddenly understood: "So you have other plans, not just to get the antidote. But isn't this more dangerous?"
"We will handle it flexibly according to the situation, so you don't have to worry about it."
Jiang Xue answered casually and then changed the subject: "Xiao Wei has been here with you for a while. How is she adapting?"
“She’s adjusted really well.”
Seeing that the other party did not want to discuss the previous topic in depth, Lan Feng continued: "Although Xiao Wei was born into a wealthy family, she is not delicate and artificial.
The environment here is not as prosperous as the capital, but she particularly likes this free life. She often says that the sky is bluer and the water is sweeter here.
"I think so."
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Although I am the regent princess and have the power to walk freely in the capital, I still feel that the border is less complicated and more comfortable. Lan Feng, you are right to bring her here."
“I don’t know if that’s correct.”
Lan Feng said slowly: "I am just her husband. I owe her a lot and should do my best to compensate her. If I let her stay in the capital and we are separated, I will lose the opportunity to make amends."
"I want to meet Xiaowei and talk to her." Jiang Xue felt that there were few soulmates in recent years, and Jiang Xiaowei was one of them.
"no problem."
Lan Feng quickly took Jiang Xue back to his residence and went to Li Er's mutton restaurant to buy a few pounds of mutton and wine, because Xiao Wei mentioned yesterday that she missed the food in this restaurant.
When Jiang Xiaowei saw Jiang Xue, she was so surprised that she was speechless.
She thought of what Lan Feng said last night and realized that his worries might be related to this.
Lan Feng walked up to her and called her gently, and she finally responded, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"This is the border, not the capital, and you are Lan Feng's wife, so there's no need to be too restrained." Jiang Xue said.
"Then I really won't be polite." Jiang Xiaowei responded readily.
The three of them smiled at each other.
Jiang Xiaowei was in a good mood. She immediately arranged for people to prepare mutton and wine, and she also cooked a few dishes herself.
Looking at the busy Jiang Xiaowei, Jiang Xue said to Lan Feng: "It is your life's luck to marry such a good wife."
When she thought about her relationship with Xiao Zhan, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Lan Feng nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Xiao Wei is a rare good woman."
Jiang Xue stayed with them for seven days, during which time Jiang Xiaowei accompanied her every day. The two became closer, and Jiang Xue appreciated Jiang Xiaowei's character even more.
Jiang Xiaowei's life is simple and fulfilling. She always prepares delicious meals with care, accompanies Lan Feng to enjoy the sunshine, and takes care of flowers and plants together.
Days like this are peaceful and beautiful, and are exactly the tranquility that those who have experienced countless battles and conflicts dream of.
Jiang Xue firmly believed that a gentle and considerate girl like Jiang Xiaowei would one day make Lan Feng fall deeply in love with her and cherish her for the rest of his life.
However, life is always full of surprises. People can often only foresee the beginning but find it difficult to predict the ending.
On the seventh day after Xiao Zhan entered Xixia, Jiang Xue said goodbye to Lan Feng and Jiang Xiaowei.
Just as she turned to leave, Jiang Xiaowei called her: "Princess, please wait a moment!"
Jiang Xue turned around and responded with a simple "Yeah".
Jiang Xiaowei walked up to Jiang Xue and took an amulet from her neck: "Princess, this is a gift I want to give you."
"This must be very important to you. I can't accept it." Jiang Xue said.
"This is a talisman that my grandmother prayed for me. Since I got it, my health and luck have improved. Now I hope you can get the same protection, so please accept it." Jiang Xiao explained with a smile.
"Since it was given to you by your grandmother, I really shouldn't take it." Jiang Xue expressed her understanding but refused.
"Since you understand my intention, please don't refuse."
Jiang Xiaowei insisted and put the amulet on Jiang Xue's neck personally.
The warm feeling touched Jiang Xue's heart. She smiled and said, "Thank you!"
At this moment, Jiang Xue felt the warmth of the world.
After saying that, she left.
Looking at her back, Jiang Xiaowei gently asked her husband: "Husband, is the eldest princess's trip very dangerous?"
Lan Feng held her hand tightly: "With the amulet you gave her, she will definitely return safely." This sentence not only comforted Jiang Xiaowei, but also gave himself confidence.
