On second thought, this was related to the prince's happiness in his later years. His prince was a lonely old man, sitting alone by the window coughing.
It's so tragic.
For the sake of the prince's happiness in his later years, he steeled his resolve and said, "Miss Jiang is in the prime of her life. As soon as the news of her annulment of her engagement with the Marquis of Chang'an spreads, I'm afraid there will be quite a few suitors, after all, she has a maternal grandfather who is the richest man in the world."
If someone beats them to it again, the prince will have nowhere to cry.
He's already gone all out; hopefully, the prince will understand his good intentions.
He looked at Xiao Zhan expectantly...
As expected, Xiao Zhan parted his lips slightly, but his voice was cool and leisurely.
“Aren’t you tired? If you’re not tired, then go and keep watch on the roof. You can go now!” Xiao Zhan said.
Qingfeng: '………………' This cold wind is being wronged…………
Xiao Zhan longed to tell her directly, but each time he tentatively opened his mouth...
Seeing that Jiang Wei had not responded to anything about Mo Cheng, he gave up trying to figure out how to start the conversation.
Should I just tell her directly, "After I left Mo City, her image lingered in my mind. As time went by and I grew up, I realized that it was from that time onwards..."
He had already developed feelings for her, but she was only six years old at the time, and he was only twelve. They didn't understand anything about love between men and women.
Now, if a twelve-year-old boy has feelings for a six-year-old girl, wouldn't it scare her if he directly told her?
Xiao Zhan hesitated; he couldn't make the decision.
Xiao Zhan was unstoppable and invincible on the battlefield, and his talent as a commander was beyond question, but he didn't quite understand the thoughts of his children.
As Xiao Zhan thought about this, he felt a little bitter. 'It was clearly she who bought him all kinds of clothes, from spring, summer, autumn and winter, from when he was twelve to eighteen. It was clearly she who gave him a purse of silver notes, saying it was a betrothal gift for marrying him as her husband. It was also she who gave him a fish-shaped jade pendant as a token of their betrothal.'
As he was leaving, he asked her to pick him up and kiss him on the cheek, saying it was her seal of approval, and telling him not to forget to marry her. But she not only completely forgot about him, but also got engaged to someone else.
Xiao Zhan took the fish-shaped jade pendant from his pocket and played with it in his hand. Over the years, whenever he thought of her, he would unconsciously take out the jade pendant to look at it.
Just as he was engrossed in watching, Xiao Zhan's ears twitched, and he heard footsteps coming from the roof tiles.
Xiao Zhan had excellent hearing. Hearing the sound getting closer, he put the jade pendant back into his pocket.
A gentle breeze came in from outside, and the master and servant exchanged glances.
Xiao Zhan pointed to Qingfeng, then to himself.
Qingfeng immediately understood, and without making a sound, walked to the side and put Xiao Zhan's clothes on.
Xiao Zhan quietly sneaked into Jiang Wei's room, where Jiang Wei had already taken off her outer robe and gone to sleep.
He groped his way to Jiang Wei's bedside and covered her mouth with his hand. "It's me. There are bandits. Put on your clothes and come with me."
Jiang Wei heard Xiao Zhan's voice and suppressed her scream.
Xiao Zhan released her. "Put your clothes on first, then we'll go."
Jiang Wei nodded. Although she was still wearing her undergarments, she felt embarrassed because there was a man inside. Her face flushed in the darkness. "Turn around."
Xiao Zhan turned around and took two steps forward. Jiang Wei quickly and casually put on her clothes, not caring whether they were neat or not.
This could be fatal; we need to escape immediately.
She sat on the edge of the bed, fumbling for her shoes in the darkness, and casually put them on. "I'm all set."
Xiao Zhan stepped back, wanting to carry her away, but fearing she might find it abrupt, he held her hand and said, "Follow me."
Jiang Wei gripped Xiao Zhan's arms with both hands, trying her best to keep up with him and not hold him back.
Because Jiang Wei's foot was already injured and she was walking in a hurry, coupled with the unfamiliar environment, she accidentally kicked the threshold.
'Hiss...' Jiang Wei uttered a soft sound, restraining herself, and stopped walking.
Xiao Zhan turned around anxiously, "Are you alright? Come on, let me carry you."
Jiang Wei wanted to refuse, saying she could, but Xiao Zhan's voice came through, "We don't know exactly how many of them there are, so it's best to leave first."
After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he picked up Jiang Wei and carried her down the dark building. "I've already had someone inform Chen Hui and the others to take your brother to the stables. I'll take you there first. If there are too many assassins and I can't take care of you, you can go with Chen Hui and the others first."
They hurried back to Kyoto by carriage; once inside the city, they were safe.
Hearing him say that, Jiang Wei couldn't help but worry about Xiao Zhan and blurted out, "Will you be in danger?"
"You're worried about me?" Xiao Zhan was somewhat surprised, his voice tinged with excitement.
Jiang Wei was at a loss for words. If he hadn't been waiting for her, he probably wouldn't have encountered these bandits!
Xiao Zhan was somewhat disappointed when he saw that Jiang Wei couldn't answer.
Jiang Wei arrived at the stable, where, as expected, his younger brother and Chen Hui were already waiting.
Yun Zhao was a little scared. "Sister, what's wrong?"
Jiang Wei pulled Yun Zhao into her arms. "It's alright. With General Xiao here, we'll be fine."
"Hmm..." Yun Zhao remembered that Qingfeng had taken him horseback riding during the day and that they could find birds in the trees, which put his mind at ease.
"Lian Sang, secretly follow him and see if he needs help. If he does, help him and make sure he doesn't get hurt. We'll wait for you here."
Lian Sang sneaked upstairs in the dark, while Xiao Zhan, Qingfeng, and his bodyguards routed the assassins.
Xiao Zhan saw Lian Sang's eyes turn cold and his voice also grew several degrees colder, "Who sent you? Didn't I tell you to send her away?"
