Chapter 600 Together (Part 2)
Xie Anbai was stunned. "What do you mean? Didn't they say that Zheng Baosu had made many military achievements, especially in dealing with Master Wa? Could it be that there is something else going on here?"
If that's the case...it's a crime of deceiving the king! How dare he, a mere deputy lieutenant general, do this! ?
"I met him once before, and I didn't notice anything extraordinary about him. If he was really that capable, he should have recommended himself at the time, but he didn't."
Shen Yanchuan had also been in Northern Xinjiang for many years, and he knew exactly which soldiers under Shen Youyan were good and which were strong.
Logically speaking, Zheng Baosu should have come to the fore long ago.
But Shen Yanchuan had never noticed this person before.
He always felt something was wrong.
"The northern border is bitterly cold, and anything could happen. I've already sent a letter to see if this person... is truly heroic and incomparable."
Xie Anbai frowned.
Chen Yanchuan has always been cautious. If even he said so, then this matter... might really be suspicious!
"In short, starting with Zheng Baosu, we can also investigate Fan Chengzhuo and Xie Anjun at the same time, which is killing two birds with one stone. But this will take some time and cannot be rushed. So during this period of time, I will not touch the two of them."
Xie Anbai smiled bitterly, "I know."
It was extremely rare for Shen Yanchuan to be able to do this for him, and he understood it all in his heart.
He took a deep breath and sighed, "I treat you as a brother, so from the beginning to the end, I don't want to get you involved..."
That's why he chose to leave Beijing.
If he continues to stay, Xie Anjun will use all means to deal with him, and it is likely that Shen Yanchuan, who is on good terms with him, will be implicated.
Xie Anbai was most afraid of causing trouble to others. After much thought, he felt that leaving alone was the best option.
But now, still...
Chen Yanchuan shook his head, "Even if you weren't there, I would still check what needs to be checked."
Xie Anbai was speechless for a moment. Looking at the other person's calm expression, his thoughts were surging in his heart.
Chen Yanchuan stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first."
He just came to make things clear with Xie Anbai so that he wouldn't leave in a daze. Now that he had said everything he needed to say, it was time for him to leave.
I guess there are still a lot of things to deal with today.
Shen Yanchuan walked to the side, untied the reins, and jumped onto the horse neatly.
"drive!"
Xie Anbai turned around and watched the figure leave, but the hesitation in his eyes gradually dissipated and became firm.
A cold wind blew away the strong smell of alcohol on his body.
He seemed to wake up suddenly.
We can't...just let it go like this!
He wanted to settle all the accounts over the years with Xie Anjun once and for all!
…
Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
As soon as Chen Yanchuan arrived outside the mansion gate, he saw Yun Cheng coming towards him quickly.
"Master, you are finally back! Miss Ye Er and Princess Qinyang came early in the morning and have been waiting for you in the front hall for half an hour!"
Shen Yanchuan paused, "Did they both come together?"
It was common for Princess Qinyang to come, but Ye Chutang would not visit her for no reason. These two actually came together...
Chen Yanchuan walked towards the front hall, his pace quickening slightly.
Yun Cheng agreed, followed behind, and explained in a low voice, "In fact, before dawn, Princess Qinyang came here once in a hurry, but I said you were not there, so she left again..."
Chen Yanchuan frowned slightly, and walked straight in without asking any more questions.
Ye Chutang and Princess Qinyang also heard the noise.
Princess Qinyang couldn't wait to stand up, "Brother!"
As soon as Shen Yanchuan came in and saw the two of them, he looked at their faces calmly.
Ye Chutang had a calm expression and clear eyes. When he saw him, he knelt down and saluted, just like in the past, "Greetings, Prince."
Princess Qinyang's eyes were filled with anxiety. She could not care less about anything else. She was like she had found a life-saving straw. "Brother, you are finally back! Chu Tang and I have been waiting for you for a long time! What were you doing? Why did you take so long to come back?"
Chen Yanchuan briefly explained, "I went out of town to see a friend off, and forgot the time for a moment."
He unbuttoned his cloak and walked in.
Ye Chutang smelled the faint smell of alcohol and his eyebrows raised slightly.
Is this... drinking?
The person who is sending this trip...
"Is it Second Young Master Xie?"
Shen Yanchuan didn't expect that she didn't ask anything and guessed it directly, so he simply nodded, "Yes."
In fact, Xie Anbai had a hard time during this period, and Ye Chutang knew it, but she did not expect that Xie Anbai would choose to leave Beijing.
She did not ask further questions, but just smiled with some regret, "Originally, Xiaowu was still thinking about going to visit Mr. Xie Er when he was free to go to Xijiang Bridge with him, but it seems that it can't be done now."
Xiao Wu was very fond of the generous and unrestrained Second Young Master Xie. Worried that he was too sad about Xie Pei's death, he came up with this way of showing concern and comfort.
Unexpectedly, before I had the chance to leave, Xie Anbai had already left.
Chen Yanchuan's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he still did not tell the conversation between him and Xie Anbai, and only said, "There will be a chance in the future."
Then, he changed the subject and asked directly about Princess Qinyang.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Princess Qinyang immediately told him everything that had happened before, even telling him that Ye Chutang had promised to find someone to help her get information.
"...Brother, what do you think we should do now? Is there nothing we can do except wait?"
Princess Qinyang's eyes turned red again when she finished speaking.
She had also been to the border and seen the hardships in the military camp. Although she was a little spoiled, she was strong and independent-minded inside and was by no means a weak-hearted person.
But now that Prince Yannan was in danger, she was really panicking.
After listening to this, Chen Yanchuan also frowned slightly.
He looked at Ye Chutang, "How soon can your... friend reply?"
"Including the time it takes to go to Longcheng for investigation, it will take about four days."
"Four days..."
This time is already considered extremely fast, but the matter is of great importance and they must seize the opportunity.
"I haven't heard any news about any incidents in Longcheng. It seems that the city has been tightly sealed off. King Yannan is a skilled martial artist and brought 500 personal soldiers with him. He was clearly tricked this time. Those people... clearly went there prepared."
Chen Yanchuan was not familiar with the situation in the southwest, and he had been busy with the affairs of Wazhen and Qingzhou recently, so he was really unable to get away for the time being.
When Princess Qinyang heard this, she felt a chill in her heart and slumped down in her chair, muttering in a low voice, "But... why are they doing this?"
Shen Yanchuan pondered for a moment, made a quick decision, and looked up to meet Ye Chutang's eyes.
"Let's go to the palace together."
Ye Chutang actually had the same idea in his mind and nodded immediately.
"good."
