Chapter 111 Fuse

Teahouse, a private room overlooking the lake.

This was the first time Yun Zhuan met Qin Agang in these months.

This is the best blade Yun Rui gave her.

"Banban, long time no see." Yun Ju'an took a sip of tea.

After visiting Zhang's house, I found the right time to meet Qin Agang.

"Miss, the Duke has not misjudged you." Qin Agang used tea instead of wine and raised his glass to toast her.

When Ye Shuchen came, Yun Zhuan was a little surprised.

"Young Master Ye begged me in every possible way, so I brought him here. I hope Miss doesn't mind." Qin Agang looked sincere, as if he was afraid that Yun Ju'an would be angry.

Yun Zhuan smiled slightly and said, "Why would I be angry with Banban?"

"Ye Shuchen has met the young lady." Ye Shuchen bowed, "Now I have arranged for everyone in my family to be settled, and I have come here to follow the young lady."

The Ye family's safety is entirely dependent on Yun Ju'an.

Yun Zhuan waved his hand and asked Ye Shuchen to sit down: "How is Mr. Ye's health?"

"Grandpa..." Ye Shuchen's eyes instantly turned red, "Not long after Grandpa returned, he drove west..."

"How could this happen?!" Yun Yu'an's hands were shaking with fear. "Hasn't he been treated by a doctor?"

Ye Shuchen smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa's health was not good to begin with, and he has been holding on in the imperial prison for so long. After he gets out, he won't be able to live for many days..."

He knelt straight in front of Yun Zhuan: "If it weren't for the young lady's plan, I'm afraid that the master would not be able to go well..."

Yun Shuan felt very upset, but it was too late after all. The great scholar of the Yuan Dynasty had actually wasted many days in the imperial prison.

If this time had been spent on learning, I wonder how much contribution I could have made to the Yuan Dynasty.

"Before Grandpa died, he was still thinking about the young lady in his heart." Ye Shuchen refused to let the tears fall and they stayed in his eyes.

The look he gave Yun Zhuan carried too many emotions from several generations.

"It's okay, Shuchen." Yun Zhuan stretched out his hand, and with his slender fingers slightly curled up, he wiped away the tears that were hanging in his eyes and refused to fall.

[I no longer have a grandfather. If the lady doesn't want me anymore, what should I do? ]

[Following the young lady is my long-cherished wish. 】

Qin Agang drank his tea without saying a word, but he was thinking in his heart that the young lady's means of winning people's hearts seemed to overlap with someone else.

But he just couldn't think of it.

When he was young, he had been to many countries, rotating between several countries, until he was recruited by Yun Rui.

"Hurry up, Shuchen." Yun Yu'an withdrew his hand, "From now on, you will be my other pair of eyes."

Her behavior just now was already inappropriate and unethical.

Ye Shuchen relaxed a lot instantly, then he sat down and listened obediently to what Qin Agang and Yun Zhuan said.

"Banban, is there any news about the Nanzhao Kingdom that I asked you to help investigate last time?" Yun Zhuan picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, but then felt that the taste was too sweet, so his frown relaxed again.

Qin Agang immediately recalled the Empress Taizu of Nanzhao whom he had met when he was young, and her behavior was exactly the same.

If Yun Ju'an was not the daughter of the Yun family, he would have suspected whether Yun Ju'an was the lost princess of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

"The Nanzhao Kingdom is now under too much control of the Northern Chu Kingdom. It has almost changed its rules to the Northern Chu Kingdom. Not only that, the annual tribute from the Nanzhao Kingdom to the Northern Chu Kingdom is not small. The people are now having a very hard time surviving." Qin Agang sighed, "When the Nanzhao Kingdom was destroyed, the Yuan Kingdom also contributed..."

Yun Zhuan didn't care about these, but it was obvious that it was Northern Chu that first set its eyes on Nanzhao's territory and resources, and that's why it instigated Yuan to get a piece of the pie.

However, there are also many factors. Because the Nanzhao Kingdom itself has internal and external troubles, it is only a matter of time before its iron hooves trample through the mountains and rivers.

"In the middle of next year, I heard that Nanzhao will invite envoys from other countries to celebrate Nanzhao's birthday together." Qin Agang put down the teacup, "A grand ceremony will be held at that time, and our country should also send envoys."

Yun Zhuan stood up and said, "Excuse me, regarding the money matters, I need to find a few more managers. The Yun family is so honest. If it weren't for the support of the shopkeepers in the family, it would be difficult to maintain the income."

"I have already assigned people to take care of these matters." Qin Agang also stood up, "See you, young lady."

Ye Shuchen was at a loss. He didn't know whether to follow Yun Zhuan or stay here with Qin Agang.

Yun Ju'an paused and took out a token: "There is a house in the suburbs of Beijing, waiting for me."

Only then did Ye Shuchen feel relieved.

"There's a fire, there's a fire!" The people outside suddenly became hurried, and then there was noise and roars.

Yun Zhuan was startled, while Du Huo followed his young lady closely.

I estimate that His Royal Highness Prince Ye will be returning from Jiangzhou in the next two days. I'm sure there will be many people in the court who will be plotting tricks, right?

At the entrance of the teahouse, there was a man wearing a red robe with a dark black pattern on the outside and a purple jade pendant with a Vermilion Bird on it tied around his waist.

He has a thin face and a feminine appearance, feminine yet masculine, with narrow eyes and eyebrows that reach his temples.

His jet-black hair stood up high, tied up by his official hat.

He holds a sword in his hand, with distinct joints.

"Princess Yuling." He smiled, and it was hard to tell whether it was a good or bad smile. It just made people feel that the young man in front of them was extraordinarily handsome, and it was unforgettable once people saw him.

But for some reason, a name popped up in Yun Zhuan's eyes.

Cheng Xi.

"Lord Cheng?" Yun Zhuan said calmly, but used a declarative sentence.

Cheng Xi approached, and the shadow enveloped the clouds: "The princess really has a good eye. I am Cheng Xi, and I have seen the princess."

Yun Ju'an breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed he had guessed correctly: "I wonder if the lord has a name called Zun?"

This person is both good and evil, so Yun Zhuan dare not make a quick judgment.

"My courtesy name is not good." Cheng Xi smiled sarcastically, "My courtesy name is not nice to hear, it pollutes the ears of the princess."

I'm jealous. How could someone choose such a courtesy name?

It sounds like he had no expectations of this person, and was even deliberately wary of him.

"It is my fault for being so abrupt." Yun Yu'an didn't want to have too much interaction with him. "I don't know if Lord Cheng still has official business to attend to. I will leave first."

But Cheng Xi stopped him: "Your Highness, there is a fire in the sky. It is the road leading to the Duke's Mansion. I am afraid that Your Highness will have to take a detour."

There was a fire?

Yun Zhuan's wound had not yet healed, and he felt itchy at this moment: "Sir Cheng, have you made any progress in the assassination that His Majesty asked you to investigate?"

"Your Highness's maid was also injured."

Cheng Xi's expression was unclear, he still smiled and said: "Since it is your Highness's request, although it is a confidential matter of the court, but since your Highness said so, I will..."

Such a long prelude made Yun Zhuan interrupt the conversation between the two people:

"In that case, then I won't bother you anymore, Master Cheng. I have other things to do right now, so I'll go ahead."
