Chapter 258: One Step Too Late

Chapter 258

With Yan Lang's personality, if he chased them out, he would fight to the death until he caught up with Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin.

If they return, the three of them must return together, or are Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin dead?

Zhao Xiang thought it was impossible. That meant that Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin were not dead and were still in the hands of Feng Ying or Feng Yue, but Yan Lang ignored them and returned alone?
Zhao Xiang didn't have magical powers and couldn't spy on Feng Yue and Feng Ying, but Yan Lang returned alone. This matter is really worth pondering.

Zhao Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have something that I want to talk to Your Majesty alone."

Jiang Chengchi looked at Zhao Xiang and saw that Zhao Xiang looked strange. Jiang Chengchi immediately said, "Follow me to the side hall to talk."

Jiang Chengchi got up and went to the side hall first. Zhao Xiang followed, and so did Sun Changce.

After the three people went to the side hall, Zhao Xiang told what happened to Feng Ying and Feng Yue, and how Feng Ying and Feng Yue successfully captured Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin, and Yan Lang also went after them, but now Yan Lang is back, but Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin are not.

Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin didn't come back, so Yan Lang should be worried, but Yan Lang just acted like he was fine.

Zhao Xiang felt there was something wrong here.

After listening to Zhao Xiang's report, Jiang Chengchi narrowed his eyes: "According to what you said, Yan Lang does have some problems."

He raised his head and looked at Sun Changce: "You personally lead a group of soldiers out to look for Feng Yue and Feng Ying in the direction of Qingjiang Pass. If you don't find them, go into Qingjiang Pass and see if they are Meng Qing. Zheng and Guo Xin have been taken into Qingjiang Pass."

Sun Changce nodded: "I'll go right away."

Sun Changce went to order a small group of soldiers, all riding fast horses, and left Jiangguoguan City.

After their small group went out, the iron door was immediately closed again.

After Yanning recovered that day, Liu Baoluo and Liu Yuchan both came to the palace to see her.

In fact, when Yan Ning was sick, Liu Baoluo and Liu Yuchan wanted to visit, but Qi Hengyuan did not allow anyone to visit. First, he did not want Yan Ning's illness to spread to others, and second, he did not want others to disturb Yan Ning's recovery.

Now that Yan Ning is cured, Qi Hengyuan no longer cares about people outside. As long as they sincerely wish Yan Ning good health, he is happy to let them visit.

Liu Baoluo and Liu Yuchan came first.

After that came the Crown Princess and Princess Qi.

The Ning family didn't know that Yan Ning was sick at first. After all, no one in the Ning family currently held a high position and could be in the court and could know about Yan Ning's illness at the first time. However, Ning Xiang and Ning Weiren were in Liangcao. As Ning Weize was in charge of the battalion, and Ning Weize was in the royal military field, there was still a chance to hear some gossip.

After the Ning family learned that Yan Ning was ill, they also wanted to come to the palace to visit, but their status was not enough, so they had to find a way to hand in a letter to express their concern and condolences to Yan Ning. After Yan Ning received the letter from the Ning family, she wanted to go to the palace. , but at that time she was still ill and could not leave the palace. Now that her illness is cured, she can make arrangements for leaving the palace.

The person who came to visit Yan Ning later turned out to be Yang Qianyue.

This seems to be expected, but also seems to be unexpected.

Yang Qianyue changed her usual quarrels with Yan Ning and spoke in a decent manner. She first greeted him with greetings and then offered condolences. She neither held a gun nor a stick, nor did she show dissatisfaction, nor was she jealous.

Previously, Qi Hengyuan planned to go to Lanzhou Pass in person. After arranging everything, when he entertained the Crown Princess Qi and Yang Qianyue in the palace, Yan Ning could tell that Yang Qianyue had become different.

Yang Qianyue's performance this time further confirmed Yan Ning's guess.

Now Yang Qianyue is already working hard to be a qualified princess and Qi Hengyuan's true sister. She has hidden her love, or in other words, she no longer intends to have any other thoughts about Qi Hengyuan.

Yan Ning lowered her eyes and chatted with Yang Qianyue gently for a while, before Yang Qianyue stood up and left.

There was nothing much going on this day, but just receiving these few people took up a whole day.

In the evening Qi Hengyuan came over for dinner, and Yan Ning mentioned something: "Liu Baoluo came to the palace today and gave me an invitation."

"What invitation?"

"Liu Baoma is having her birthday soon. She wants to have a big event and invite me to attend."

"Birthday party?"

"Yes."

After a pause, he continued: "It is said to be a birthday party, but it is actually equivalent to a marriage banquet. Liu Baoluo wants to choose a husband at this birthday party. Your Majesty, you also know that Liu Baoluo has been in the palace for many years and is already quite old. If she still wants to get married, she must do it earlier, lest it becomes difficult to get married as she gets older."

Qi Hengyuan snorted: "She invited you to participate because she wanted you to help her see her, right?"

"..."

"You can help her look at her, but you can't look at her too much. There is no man in this world who is better than me."

The corner of Yan Ning's mouth twitched and she nodded with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, you are the most powerful, handsome, noble and powerful man in the world. No man can compare with you."

"It's good that you know it. Don't look around when you go. You are a married woman. Liu Baoluo has someone he likes. When he wants you to help her check it out, you go to see her again. Otherwise, others will say that you are not a woman. Water-based blooming flowers.”

"..."

Yan Ning was speechless and kept saying nothing.

Yan Ning nodded: "I will listen to Your Majesty. Don't look too much or randomly. I will only look when Liu Baoluo needs me."

"now it's right."

"Liu Baoluo's birthday party is three days later. On that day, I left the palace and wanted to sit with the Ning family. When I was sick, the Ning family sent a letter of condolences to the palace. After I recovered, I also wanted to write to the Ning family. It happened to be Liu Baoluo came to the palace and asked me to attend her birthday party, so I thought that I would take advantage of that day to go to the Ning family and let them see me, and I would feel at ease."

Qi Hengyuan frowned: "It means that you will have dinner at the Liu family at noon and at the Ning family at night. Then when will you return to the palace?"

"You can go back to the palace after dinner."

Although Yan Ning said this, Qi Hengyuan was still not happy. Due to the relationship between Yan Ning and Liu Baoluo, Yan Ning would have to go early on the birthday party, so he wouldn't be able to see her for a whole day.

Fortunately she can come back in the evening.

Although Qi Hengyuan was not happy, he still agreed.

After dinner, Qi Hengyuan went to the study to deal with some temporary matters. Yan Ning took a walk for half an hour, then went back to wash up, lay on the bed and activated his magical powers to find out the situation at Lanzhou Pass.

It was still early at this time, and there was nothing special happening at Lanzhou Pass. Yan Ning withdrew his magical power and found a book to read.Qi Hengyuan came over after handling the matter and saw Yan Ning reading. He immediately took the book from her hand and threw it aside. He frowned and said, "You are in good health. Don't stay up late reading. Close your eyes and rest."

Yan Ning was a little sleepy at first, so she took advantage of the situation and fell asleep.

Qi Hengyuan took a shower and went to sleep.

Yan Ning was recovering from her illness. Although Qi Hengyuan wanted to touch her, he didn't dare. He was afraid that her body would be overwhelmed and she would get sick again, so he could only suppress it, hug her and kiss her several times until she felt relieved.

Yan Ning was thinking about the situation at Lanzhou Pass and never dared to fall asleep.

Since Chen Dongyan received the secret order and note from Fu Huanghe, Chen Dongyan must have set off and should have arrived by this time. Then, what happened at night would be very important. Yan Ning didn't want to miss it, so she stayed until after Haishi.

After Haishi, Yan Bin took Yan Lang to change shifts. He Ye led He Sizhuo, Yan Tai and the soldiers back to rest and recuperate. As expected, Feng Ying and Feng Yue took action and successfully captured Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin. Yan Lang I really chased him, and then Chen Dongyan and Chen Hong arrived.

Feng Yue died in battle.

This is really good news.

But Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin were taken away by Feng Ying.

Chen Dongyan and Chen Hong rushed all the way to Qingjiang Pass, but unfortunately, they failed to catch up with Feng Ying.

Just when they were about to arrive at Qingjiang Pass, they saw Feng Ying, riding on a horse carrying two more people, one was Meng Qingzheng and the other was Guo Xin.

The city gate of Qingjiang Pass is opening, and Feng Ying is preparing to enter.

Chen Hong immediately pulled out his sword, activated his semi-supernatural power, wrapped it around the sword at the speed of wind, and quickly stabbed Feng Ying on the horse where he sat.

Once the horse falls to the ground and dies, Feng Ying must fall off the horse. When he gets up, it just gives Chen Dongyan a chance to attack. This is what Chen Hong can do. In such a flash of lightning, the best way to hold Feng Ying back is .

Unfortunately, Chen Hong's sword flew out, and an arrow suddenly shot out from above the city gate of Qingjiang Pass. The power of that arrow was not inferior to Chen Hong's long sword that flew away and was blessed with semi-supernatural power.

The overly powerful arrow hit Chen Hong's long sword accurately, causing his long sword to miss. The long sword passed through the back of Feng Ying's horse and was nailed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the horse Feng Ying sat on galloped past and entered the city gate of Qingjiang Pass. The city gate was quickly closed.

Chen Hong frowned: "It's a step too late."

Chen Dongyan didn't speak. He just raised his head and looked at the top of the Qingjiang Pass city wall: "There is a master there."

Chen Hong said: "During the battle at Yuling Pass, Yan Lang and I were injured at the same time. Later, our injuries were all recovered. Yan Lang led the battle to Dongchang Pass, and I led the battle to Qingjiang Pass. I was right. The Wuhous of Jiang State stationed at Qingjiang Pass have a certain understanding. The Wuhous stationed at Qingjiang Pass of Jiang State are Wei Yizhong and the Guanhou is Peng Wan. Although these two people are also powerful, they should not be able to afford your cousin's words. The master you are talking about must be someone else."

Chen Dongyan said quietly: "It's not Wei Yizhong, nor Peng Wan, but Wei Jingcai."

"Wei Jingcai? Wei Yizhong's son?"

"No, he is Wei Yizhong's younger brother. His archery skills are very good."

Chen Hong scratched his head: "The person who can make my cousin praise him from the bottom of his heart must be powerful. But why haven't I heard of such a powerful person before? At that time, we were fighting against Jiang Guoren, but this Wei Jingcai has never appeared before. Ren Guanhou and the others have not revealed this person to me. Does Ren Guanhou also know about Wei Jingcai?"

Ren Guanhou refers to Ren Sihai, the commanding lord stationed at Qingjiang Pass in Qi State.

When Chen Hong led the battle at Qingjiang Pass, he often dealt with Ren Sihai, Wei Xingda and Song Tailai in addition to Ren Sihai.

Wei Xingda was a Marquis of Wu who was stationed at Qingjiang Pass in the State of Qi, and Song Tailai was a Marquis of Guan who was exiled four years ago. During the battle at Qingjiang Pass, he was recalled by Qi Hengyuan, and now he stays at Qingjiang Pass as a deputy marquis.

None of these three people mentioned Wei Jingcai to Chen Hong.

Chen Dongyan explained: "Wei Jingcai has been very talented since he was a child. Uncle Jiang saw that he was extraordinary, so he took him under his command very early and trained him carefully, whether he was the former Guanhou or Wuhou, or The current Marquis of Guan or Wu have basically never seen him, nor do they know his abilities. Four years ago, Jiang State defeated Qi State without him. Four years later, there was no big wind or wave in the battle of Qingjiang Pass. , Uncle Jiang Wang didn’t send him here, you don’t know him, it’s normal.”

"Then how did my cousin know this person?"

Chen Dongyan pulled his lips: "I have been following His Majesty. His Majesty sent many spies to Jiang State, and the news they brought back was even more. Of course I know Wei Jingcai and his abilities."

Chen Hong snorted and asked again: "Then how can you conclude that this person is Wei Jingping and not someone else? Is there no other archery master in Jiang State?"

"Yes, but they are not as powerful as Wei Jingcai, and Wei Jingcai is a member of the Wei family, and his duty is to guard Qingjiang Pass. If he returns from his studies, or if Uncle Jiang needs someone to help him fight at Qingjiang Pass, it must be Wei Jingcai. It is impossible. It was someone else. Uncle Jiang did everything right. He sent Feng Ying and Feng Yue to capture Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin, and then asked Feng Ying and Feng Yue to go to Qingjiang Pass. It must be because Uncle Jiang sent Wei Jingcai here. Wei Jingcai is here, and Uncle Jiang is not afraid that something unexpected will happen in this matter."

Chen Hong said coldly: "Uncle Jiang Wang is really good at calculating. If we hadn't arrived, Yan Lang would have been really in danger."

Even if Yan Lang had semi-supernatural powers, he might still die here.

Feng Ying, Feng Yue, and Wei Jingcai are all masters. If Yan Lang is really led here by them, he will only face an ambush from all sides.

When Chen Hong thought of this, he suddenly felt a little cold on his back. He said to Chen Dongyan: "Cousin, what should we do now? Feng Ying has entered the city, Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin have been taken into Jiang Guoguan City. Jiang The white flag is hanging above Guoguan City again, no matter what we want to do, it seems we can't do it."

He was worried: "Will they persecute Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin? Or take them as hostages, chop off their hands, feet, and gouge their eyes to demonstrate against Qi?"

Chen Dongyan narrowed his eyes and said: "Their goal is Yanlang, but now that Yanlang has been intercepted by us, then their goal and mission will be a failure. Either they will try to lure Yanlang here again, or they will do it now." We are discussing how to kill the two of us here."

Chen Hong: "..."

What he said was a bit scary, so he immediately activated his semi-supernatural powers to spy on the situation inside Qingjiang Pass.

After Feng Ying entered the city, she went all the way to the Wei Mansion and met with Wei Yizhong. After that, Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin were imprisoned in an iron prison.

The iron prison is very strong and cannot be cut with any sharp weapon.

Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin were imprisoned in two iron cells in different places.

Their hands and feet were tied, and anything that could be used as a weapon was searched from their bodies. They were still unconscious.
