1306 accident, Mr. Wenyuan's death
The imperial seal of Beiling was stolen two months ago. Beiling's most elite royal cavalry tracked the theft all the way to the border of Nanling.
According to the leading general Han Fang's inference, that group of people are definitely well-trained soldiers. The imperial seal of Beiling was stolen by that group of people, and that group of people is now in Nanling.
Although the soldiers of Beiling are good at fighting, their national strength is not strong after all. They are unwilling to go to war with Nanling easily. They hope to find the person who stole the jade seal from Nanling peacefully through diplomatic means.
In order to clear itself of suspicion, Nanling allowed a hundred people from Beiling to enter Nanling under the surveillance of Nanling to search for the person who stole the jade seal.
The letters between the two countries went back and forth on the road, and both sides had to finalize the details, so it took a whole month even if it was done quickly. By the time the soldiers from Beiling entered Nanling to search, there was no trace of the army that stole the jade seal.
Beiling was naturally dissatisfied, thinking that Nanling was deliberately delaying so that they could not find the imperial seal. Nanling was also angry, thinking that Beiling was using the theft of the imperial seal as an excuse to cause trouble at the border.
The two countries were quite reasonable and did not actually fight. They only engaged in a verbal war, with letters condemning each other being sent out every day. But at this moment...
The army that stole the imperial seal from Beiling appeared in Nanling. Beiling found evidence and demanded that Nanling immediately return the imperial seal and hand over the soldier to Beiling for punishment.
Of course, Nanling flatly denied it. They didn't know that army at all. This was definitely a frame-up by Beiling. They used the imperial seal as an excuse to launch a military operation against Nanling.
The people of Beiling were bad tempered to begin with. When they saw Nanling was blaming them, and saw that the imperial seal was gone right under their noses, they also got angry and entered Nanling to steal it without caring about anything. The result was...
Unfortunately, the two countries started fighting, and the Black Knights who stole the imperial seal from Beiling, with the help of the invisible prince Jinxing from Nanling, dispersed and left Nanling and headed for the border of Dongling. As for the imperial seal?
What is that thing? Can you eat it? If not, throw it away.
As soon as the Black Cavalry arrived at the border between Dongling and Nanling, they were met by Dongling's soldiers and horses. They were given Dongling's military uniforms and blended into the Dongling army. The Ninth Prince was not afraid even if Beiling and Nanling came to investigate.
Therefore, making friends with the princes of other countries does not mean treason. As long as both sides can benefit, there is nothing wrong with cooperating with the enemy country.
When the Ninth Prince received the news that Beiling and Nanling had gone to war, he nodded with satisfaction and praised his staff for a rare moment, which moved them to tears.
The Ninth Prince has finally returned to normal!
No way!
That night, the Ninth Prince learned that Feng Qingchen and Zhan Yan were sleeping in the same tent. His expressionless face was scarier than ever. No living creature approached him within ten steps. Even the horses neighed nervously, which frightened the staff and repeatedly told the guards: "We will be able to enter Dongling tomorrow. Once we are in Dongling, we don't have to worry. Brothers, cheer up. This is our last night in Nanling. Don't sleep tonight. Everyone, keep a close eye on us."
"Yes." The guards and the eighteen riders were restless because they felt that something was going to happen tonight, so they didn't dare to sleep. As a result...
It was a good night. Not only did not a human come over, not even a rabbit came.
This incident caused...
The aide rubbed his nose and admitted his mistake obediently, while the eighteen riders of the Si family looked at each other in bewilderment and could only blame themselves for their bad luck. It was their own fault for being so paranoid. The Ninth Prince did not ask them to guard the place all night.
Feng Qingchen was also very obedient today. Without waiting for the Ninth Prince to hesitate whether to take a carriage or a horse, he took the initiative to
After getting on the carriage, the Ninth Prince raised the corners of his lips slightly when he saw this, and walked towards the carriage slowly and unhurriedly as the guards lowered their heads to look at him.
There were a few people with poor self-control whose shoulders kept shaking. They were glared back at by their staff and stood there like wooden stakes.
Everything was ready, and the group of people cheered up and continued to move forward. Seeing that they were about to step into Dongling, they couldn't help but get excited, and even though they hadn't slept all night, they didn't show any signs of fatigue.
In the carriage, Feng Qingchen lay on the coffee table, not saying a word, just staring at the Ninth Prince in a daze. The Ninth Prince glanced at Feng Qingchen indifferently, and did not speak either. He took out the chessboard with hidden grids and started to fiddle with it by himself.
The carriage was silent, which made Yi Gan try to get closer to the carriage, wanting to hear the guards at the foot of the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen beating their chests and stamping their feet. They wanted to rush in and let the two of them talk.
It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are dying of anxiety.
The Ninth Prince's personality is cold and aloof, overbearing and awkward. Only Miss Feng can tolerate him and remain the same as always without taking advantage of his favor.
If any other woman were to be favored by the Ninth Prince, she would definitely be dissatisfied with his arrogant temperament and would ask him to change for her.
But curiosity aside, the Ninth Prince's guards were carefully selected after all, and they would never miss their mission because of this. When they arrived at the border between Dongling and Nanling, they were all on edge and murderous, and apart from the sound of horses' hooves, no other sound was made.
Because it was the carriage of the Ninth Prince, the soldiers at the border did not dare to be negligent, and the entry was smooth. After only a brief inspection, the soldiers at the border let the Ninth Prince and his entourage pass.
After stepping onto Dongling's territory, everyone relaxed a little. Even the Ninth Prince's expression softened a bit. He put down the white piece in his hand, raised his head and looked at Feng Qingchen, calling out, "Qingchen..."
Just as he was about to speak, the carriage stopped with a clatter, and the voice of the staff rang out outside the carriage: "Your Highness, a group of crazy students stopped the carriage and wanted to see Mr. Wenyuan."
"No, let them go to the post station tomorrow." The Ninth Prince was angry, and his tone was a little impatient.
It was common for students to ask to see Mr. Wenyuan, but as soon as they set foot in Dongling, this group came to them. Even if they really wanted to see him, he couldn't stop.
"Yes." The aide took the order and left.
"Qing..." The Ninth Prince spoke again. Feng Qingchen also looked at him expectantly, but this time he was interrupted after saying just one word.
"Your Highness, Mr. Wenyuan has gotten off the car to meet the students despite all the dissuasion." The aide spoke hurriedly, not realizing that he had disturbed his master's good deeds.
The Ninth Prince's expression changed, and he said, "We'll talk about this later. I'll go down and take a look first."
"Okay." Feng Qingchen smiled gently, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.
The Ninth Prince got off the carriage and saw Mr. Wenyuan surrounded by a group of enthusiastic students. The guards and the Eighteen Riders were also squeezed by the students. His face changed drastically. "Quick, protect Mr. Wenyuan. Don't let those people get close to Mr. Wenyuan. Those who disobey my order will be killed!"
Students are the most annoying thing. You can’t hit or scold them. If you use a little too much force, they will accuse them of oppressing the people.
When the guards and the eighteen riders heard the order from the Ninth Prince, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They did not care how difficult this group of weak scholars were and pushed them away violently one by one. Facing the scolding from the students, the guards and the eighteen riders remained indifferent and only protected Mr. Wen Yuan in the middle.
But they were still a step too slow. Many students had already crowded around Mr. Wenyuan. In the chaos, someone shouted, "Ah... Mr. Wenyuan is dead!"
