Yusui Chang'an

Before Prince Ling left the capital, Yanshu stayed in Prince Ling's mansion, staying with An Zhixian for more than a month. The gentle and kind Princess Ling, the cheerful and unrestrained Prince Ling, the spoiled and courageous little brother...

Those days were so beautiful that they seemed like a dream, and Yanshu couldn't help laughing when he woke up in the middle of the night.

Before leaving, he promised Prince Ling and his younger brother that he would practice martial arts well and become a guard in Prince Ling's mansion when Prince Ling returned to the capital.

During those years, he devoted himself to practicing martial arts and never slacked off for a single day. Even the Grand Tutor often praised him for his diligence. Just when he was looking forward to entering Prince Ling's mansion, he received bad news.

Ever since Prince Ling's family got into trouble, every time he dreamed of them covered in blood, Yanshu felt heartbroken just thinking about it...

That was the little brother he remembered in his heart and never forgot, but he didn't recognize him.
Surprise, excitement and regret filled Yanshu's heart, making him want to go back and see An Zhixian immediately.

Master Yao: "We will have a chance to meet him in the future. Once his identity is exposed, it will be a disaster. The fewer people who know about it, the less risk there is. That's why I didn't tell you."

Yanshu nodded heavily:

"I know. I will be careful in front of others. Since my brother is fine, are the prince and princess okay?"

Seeing Master Yao lower his eyes sadly and slowly shook his head, the light of hope in Yanshu's eyes also dimmed:
Such a good prince and princess...

Fortunately, my little brother is still alive.

At dawn, the Zhenxi Army set out on its expedition.

At the city gate, Han Yaohui was ready to go. He said goodbye to his family, the Crown Prince, the Prince of Qin and other officials, then mounted his horse and led his troops to the battle.

The prince looked at the Zhenxi Army walking away, with a warm smile on his face, and looked at the Qin King and his wife:

"In the future, we will become closer to Chengye and my sister-in-law, so we should have more contact. If Shuang'er has something she likes, please let me know and I will definitely find it for her."

The Princess of Qin maintained her smile and responded perfunctorily. Chu Chengye gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and turned away. The prince stood sideways in front of the city gate, looking at Chu Chengye's angry back with a relaxed look, and sneered silently. He turned his head and looked at the dust and smoke that had not yet completely dissipated after the army set off, and his smile deepened.

Just as he turned around and was about to get on the carriage, he saw a fast horse rushing towards him from the dust not far away. Upon hearing the sound, a group of guards quickly drew their swords and stepped forward to protect the prince and others behind them.

When the visitor saw the carriage of the prince and a group of officials, he tightened the reins and managed to stop the galloping horse ten steps away from the crowd. He then dismounted and apologized.

The prince's personal guard recognized the man in the uniform of a messenger. The prince took a look through the gaps between the guards, raised his chin, motioned the guard to come forward and ask, then he got into the carriage and told the driver to return home.

While he was resting his eyes, the guard came back and brought him some good news that made him exclaim, "God is helping me":
The prefect of Zhangzhou was silenced half a month ago. Before the incident, he asked his confidants to risk their lives to deliver several letters in blood, instructing them to make sure to send them to Kyoto to let His Majesty know.

Several blood letters in Zhangzhou were intercepted and killed, and only one was delivered to the official post station in Taizhou.

This matter is of great importance, so the messenger received the order and rushed over without stopping to deliver the message.

The prince was delighted:

No matter what the content of this blood letter is, something happened in Zhangzhou and the person who died was the prefect of Zhangzhou. Such a big thing could be concealed. The Han family, which has been entrenched in Zhangzhou, must be involved.

He was impatient to wait, and this news came at the right time. Even if it had nothing to do with the Han family, he would find a way to make it related to the Han family.

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but smile:

"Change the route to the Duke's Mansion." (End of this chapter)
