"Your Highness, this is terrible! The Northern Yin has sent troops, and they have already reached the gates of Yanjing City."
Just as Yan Jing was sitting on the dragon throne, feeling smug, a little eunuch rushed in to report.
"Ah, the Northern Yin have sent troops!" Yan Jing sat up abruptly on the dragon throne, pleading with Wu Yuan, "My lord, the Northern Yin have attacked! What should we do?"
Wu Yuan glanced at him. "What's the panic?"
"My lord, as you know, we in Western Yan are no match for Northern Yin." Yan Jing was still flustered.
“It’s impossible for Bei Yin to send troops, and in such a short time, a large army wouldn’t be able to reach Yanjing.” Wu Yuan looked at the little eunuch, “How many people did Bei Yin send, and who led them?”
The young eunuch had never seen Wu Yuan before. He stared at him, mesmerized, at his flowing purple robes, golden phoenix mask, and refined, elegant demeanor.
"I'm asking you a question! How many men from Bei Yin have come, and who is leading them?" Yan Jing ran up to the eunuch and kicked him hard.
The young eunuch fell to the ground, hitting his head so hard he saw stars, but he still endured the pain and hurriedly said, "I don't know, I only know there was a huge, dark mass of them. The one leading the troops seemed to be a woman, named Yun... something."
"Yun Qingran." Wu Yuan said the name with a smile; she arrived even faster than he had anticipated.
How many more surprises does she not know about?
"Is that Yun Qingran, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhen'an of Beiyin, the Princess Rongchang personally bestowed by the Emperor, and the fiancée of the King of Beihan?" Yan Jing asked, looking at Wu Yuan.
He had heard of this woman's deeds; he heard that she was initially a wicked woman, hated by all and incredibly ugly. Later, she suddenly had a breakthrough, mastered medicine, regained her appearance, and even tested poison on herself to save the entire capital city. Now, she is the white moonlight of the capital's people.
Wu Yuan's expression was originally gentle, but when he heard the words "Northern Cold King's fiancée," his face suddenly turned cold, and the entire Chaoyang Palace seemed to have entered an extremely cold world.
"My lord, did I say something wrong?" Yan Jing shivered and asked uneasily.
"nothing."
Yan Jing's heart pounded. His lord's behavior didn't seem like nothing was wrong. Could it be that he was angry because he had mentioned Yun Qingran, and he disliked her?
That must be it. The more Yan Jing thought about it, the more convinced he became that he was right.
"My lord, I will go and meet with Yun Qingran," Yan Jing said.
He will definitely beat Yun Qingran until she cries for her parents, then the master will not be angry anymore.
"Go." Wu Yuan waved his hand.
This idiot can't beat Ranran in either a battle of wits or a fight, so he's not worried.
Yan Jing arrived at the gate of Yanjing and immediately saw Yun Qingran below. She was dressed in light armor, holding a long sword, her black hair tied up high, her features exquisite and beautiful. The armor added a touch of heroism to her, and from a distance, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Beauty, who are you?" Yan Jing leered at Yun Qingran.
How wonderful it would be to have such a beauty in my harem and enjoy her every day!
“This princess is the Princess of Rongchang of the Northern Yin.” Yun Qingran looked up at Yan Jing on the city wall.
He looks somewhat like Yan Shuangshuang, but overall he is far inferior to her.
"So it's Princess Rongchang of Beiyin. What do you want with so many cavalrymen under my Yanjing Tower?" Yan Jing looked at the rows of neat cavalrymen behind Yun Qingran and his heart sank. Yun Qingran had indeed brought a lot of soldiers.
"I've only come to visit Princess Zhaohua. As for these soldiers, they are here to protect me," Yun Qingran replied.
"It's unbelievable that Princess Rongchang would bring so many soldiers with her when she goes out." Yan Jingcai didn't believe Yun Qingran's nonsense.
How could a mere princess possibly travel with so many soldiers, especially the most powerful cavalry?
"Oh dear, talking about this makes me feel quite embarrassed," Yun Qingran said with an affected smile.
Everyone: Sister, could you act any more fake?
"Your Highness, you should know that besides being Princess Rongchang, I am also the fiancée of Prince Beihan. Prince Beihan knew that I was coming to Xiyan to visit Princess Zhaohua, and fearing that I might be in danger on the way, he sent so many cavalrymen to escort me," Yun Qingran said shyly.
“Your Highness, Princess Rongchang is a princess of Beiyin and a close friend of Princess Zhaohua. Please open the door and let Princess Rongchang in,” Hu Tiande said loudly.
Yan Jing glared at Hu Tiande, thinking to himself, "When I ascend the throne, the first thing I'll do is find a reason to confiscate your property and throw you into a mass grave to be fed to wild dogs."
“Princess Rongchang, with so many soldiers and generals, it’s difficult for me to welcome you in.” Yan Jing shook his head at Yun Qingran, refusing to let her into the city.
Once so many soldiers enter the city, they can immediately turn the tide of the situation. He's not stupid.
"Then I'll trouble Your Highness to inform Princess Zhaohua and ask her to come out and meet me," Yun Qingran said.
"My elder sister has been unwell recently and cannot leave the city. I hope Princess Rongchang will understand." Yan Jing politely declined.
“Since Princess Zhaohua is unwell, the cavalrymen escorting me will remain outside the city. I will go into the city alone to visit her,” Yun Qingran continued.
“Princess Rongchang, I’m sorry, it’s really inconvenient. Please return home. Once my elder sister recovers, I will have her personally go to Beiyin to apologize to you.” Yan Jing still disagreed.
Yun Qingran is the Princess Rongchang of Beiyin and the fiancée of the King of Beihan. If she enters the city, he cannot touch her. Letting her into the city would be like inviting a wolf into the house.
"Yan Jing, are you rejecting Bei Yin?" Yun Qingran looked at Yan Jing with a cold gaze and rebuked him sharply.
Beiyin was the top of the four kingdoms, while Xiyan was the lowest ranked.
