The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1269 Puzzled

"Sister Yuan, the person in charge of keeping an eye on the two palaces sent a letter, and the content of the letter is similar to the information brought by Yanzhi." In the carriage, An Yu held a heavy palm and handed the letter to Sheng Yuan.

Originally, according to Sheng Yuan's idea, riding a horse would be faster, but An Yu was afraid that she would get carried away and ride directly into the mansion, so he coaxed her into the carriage on the grounds that Xiao Falcon could not stand the bumpy ride.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan glanced at the letter handed to her by An Yu, nodded slightly, said "hmm" in a light voice, and then continued to look at the bandaged Yanzhi.

An Yu looked at her indifferent expression and eyes without any emotion, and couldn't help but be shocked.

His sister Yuan is very angry!

"Fortunately, there is a person who is good at raising falcons in the Five Army Commander's Office, otherwise Yanzhi would have to suffer." Seeing that Sheng Yuan looked unhappy, An Yu hesitated and turned the topic to the little falcon.

"Looking at the situation, you should rest more. Don't bring Rouge into the house later."

"When we pass by the Chengzhong Marquis's mansion, I'll ask Xiaoyao to deliver the rouge over there, and ask Uncle Lu to ask his servant who is good at raising falcons to take a look at it."

An Yu nodded and said, "That's a good idea."

……

"The mansion is on alert, no one is allowed to approach!"

As soon as the carriage entered Zhuque Lane where the Yongxing Marquis Mansion was located, a team of fully-equipped guards was called to intercept it when it was still two or three hundred meters away from the gate of the mansion.

Sheng Yuan sneered and lifted the curtain to look out. Immediately, one of his confidants understood what he meant and drew his sword to confront him, shouting, "What do you mean by irrelevant people? My Shangshu and son-in-law are going back to their own home. Who dares to stop them?"

After saying this, the soldiers following on both sides of the carriage formed a battle line.

Those who held bows drew their bows and drew arrows, those who raised swords held their swords ready to shoot, and those who held knives stood with their swords drawn horizontally... This formation seemed like they were preparing for a small-scale head-on battle with the enemy!

This impolite look really scared the other party.

The main reason is that they know the temperament of the person in the carriage too well. If they really meet her, she can really be ruthless!

"This... is our master's arrangement. Please don't embarrass me, Miss Third."

Knowing that Sheng Yuan was not easy to mess with, the captain of the guards of the Shengguo Mansion had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the front of the carriage, saluted politely and said: "The subordinates are all following orders..." "Follow orders?! You, the guards of the Shengguo Mansion, follow orders to surround the Yongxing Marquis Mansion! Whose orders are you following?! Could it be that... the Shengguo Mansion intends to annex the Yongxing Marquis Mansion?"

"That's impossible!" The captain of the guards was afraid that Sheng Yuan would become famous and start fighting, so he waved his hands in fear.

At that time, Duke Sheng only told them to keep outsiders away as much as possible, but he did not ask them to fight with the young lady of the Yongxing Marquis's Mansion.

"You can come in, but the people you bring with you..."

Sheng Yuan walked out of the carriage, stood on the carriage frame and looked around at the people in front of him, sneering: "The personal guards and I will return to the mansion, and the rest of you should quickly line up and guard the mansion. Don't let any 'irrelevant people' get close!"

……

"Madam, she, she is here!" Yun Jing hurriedly ran through several corridors, trotted all the way to Shu, and reported the news breathlessly.

"Clang!" The teacup in Shu's hand suddenly fell to the ground due to a moment of carelessness.

"But they've entered the mansion?! Quick! Quickly call..." Shu reflexively wanted to mobilize the servants of the Marquis's Mansion to guard against them, but when the words came to her lips, she immediately changed her words, "Quickly call the people from the Shengguo Mansion to block them!"

"Just now, the doorman said that he had arrived outside the mansion. I am afraid that at this moment..."

As soon as Yun Jing finished speaking, he heard a loud noise coming from outside and was immediately shocked: "Madam, let me go and take a look."

"No need!" When the time came, Shu, who had been panicking just now, calmed down instead.

She stood up slowly, and put on the airs of a wife of a prince from a marquis's mansion: "We have to face each other sooner or later. Can we hide from her forever?! At worst, let her confront the people from the Shengguo Mansion!"

Shu became more and more confident as she spoke. After comforting herself, she held the arm of the trembling Yun Jing and walked out with steady steps.

However, her composure only lasted for a short moment before a crossbow arrow shot at her temple broke it.
