Chapter 1669 Three Families Struggle for Hegemony 16
After Ying Qiu finished venting, Liu Chen let the team set off, then pretended to casually notice Ying Qiu and greeted her.

"I see that you have a distinguished and distinguished appearance, and I would very much like to make your acquaintance. I wonder if you would be so kind as to grant me this honor?"

Seeing that Liu Chen and Feng Xi were two frail scholars, Ying Qiu was not very wary of them, but she was still somewhat cautious.

He did not give his name or identity, but used a pseudonym and said that he was a wandering knight.

Liu Chen smiled and said, "We are students traveling for study, and you are a wandering knight. Would you like to travel together?"

Ying Qiu: "We'll see."

He didn't find the two unpleasant; they were warm-hearted and exceptionally talented. If he were truly a wandering knight, these two would indeed be excellent travel companions.

The group entered Luoyang City together.

Touched by their enthusiasm, Ying Qiu became acquainted with them and developed a desire to befriend them, introducing them to the best inn in the capital.

In the following days, Ying Qiu came to find the two of them and offered to be their guide.

He actually wanted to go to the palace to see Feng Yao and stay by her side.

But he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist taking Feng Yao away and fleeing far away with her and the child.

He knew he couldn't do that.

He can't steal his own sister-in-law.

Moreover, he knew that Feng Yao's purpose in being born was to help Ying Feng unify the world.

Feng Yao will absolutely not leave before achieving this goal.

He could only suppress his feelings and silently stay by Feng Yao's side.

He will protect Feng Yao and their child.

Feng Xi scoffed, "Ying Qiu is a coward; he doesn't dare to snatch Feng Yao away from Ying Feng. It'll be difficult to get to him."

Liu Chen chuckled: "If Ying Feng were to kill his child, what would he do?"

Fengxi's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."

The two scoundrels laughed heartily, unaware that their scheme had been overheard by Liu Dong and Liu Yong.

The news of Ying Qiu's abnormal behavior and his arrival in the capital with a group of people was passed on to Liu Yong by the beggars in the capital.

Upon hearing the beggar's description of the two scholars, Liu Tong became suspicious and pulled Liu Yong aside to verify it.

Sure enough, they were the two he was thinking of.

The main problem is that the art of disguise doesn't exist in this world; the makeup techniques of the ancients are completely incomparable to modern special effects makeup.

Liu Dong: "It really is Liu Chen. Second brother, should we deal with him so he can't return to Shu?"

Liu Yong shook his head: "His death is not good for the Shu Kingdom."

Although Liu Chen seized the throne, Liu Yong harbored no hatred or ill impression towards him.

Liu Chen is also a member of the royal family, so naturally he is qualified to sit in that position.

As for whether he killed the former crown prince?

Most likely!

But when royal families seize the throne, isn't it always stained with the blood of their brothers and relatives?

Their beloved father ascended the throne by stepping over the corpses of his uncles and other imperial relatives.

Moreover, the former crown prince was, in a sense, Liu Yong's enemy.

Liu Chen killed the former crown prince, which can be considered revenge for him.

Therefore, whether out of personal grudges or for the sake of the overall situation of Shu, Liu Yong would not kill Liu Chen.

Liu Yong was unaware that the late emperor favored him as the successor. Even if he had known, Liu Yong did not believe that he, currently a hostage, would be able to return to the country and ascend to that position smoothly after Liu Chen's death.

There are also the eldest prince and the seventh prince within the territory of Shu.

The ministers of Shu would only have to choose between these two men.

Actually, it's not bad that my elder brother became emperor; I suppose I can return to my country then.

However, although the eldest brother is brave and a natural-born general, he is politically inept and lacks significant administrative skills. If he were to govern Shu, the lives of the people would not be any better than under Liu Chen's rule.

Therefore, it would be best for Liu Chen to return to Shu safely.

Liu Yong said to his younger brother, "While he is in Wei, let's make sure he is safe and sound, and don't worry about anything else."

This person's arrival in Wei at this time is definitely aimed at causing trouble.

He wanted to see what kind of trouble Liu Chen could cause.

Liu Tong gloated, "Liu Chen and Feng Xi have gotten together. Neither of them are good people. Ying Feng and Feng Yao are going to be in trouble."

Ying Feng is Liu Yong's friend, but not Liu Tong's friend.

Although Liu Tong admired Ying Feng, she found it difficult to connect with him.

Liu Dong would be very happy to see Ying Feng get his comeuppance.

Liu Yong sighed, "I hope things don't get too out of hand."

Liu Tong knew he was worried about Ying Feng, so she reassured him, "Don't worry, judging from what these two are saying, their main target is Feng Yao, and Ying Feng is just a side issue."

Liu Yong: "Is Feng Yao really the chosen one? Could it be that the people of Qifeng Valley have made a mistake? I'm grateful that Feng Xi is more reliable than her."

Liu Dong: "Who knows?"

Many female protagonists in novels are even less reliable than Feng Yao.

But there's nothing we can do; after all, they're the main character and have a special aura.

Liu Tong felt that someone would be unlucky in this incident, but Feng Yao would not be greatly affected.

The two brothers overheard Fengxi and Liu Chen's conversation and learned that Fengyao was pregnant.

Liu Tong sighed, "If you want a good life, you still have to wear a green hat."

Liu Yong: "??"

Liu Qiu: "It's nothing. Brother, are you going to tell Ying Feng about this?"

Liu Yong: "I'm not stupid."

Ying Feng will find out about Feng Yao's pregnancy sooner or later, but he absolutely cannot find out from other men.

The wedding took place.

The emperor and empress's imperial carriages traveled through the streets, surrounded by onlookers.

Ying Feng and Feng Yao must first go to the Temple of Heaven to worship Heaven and Earth, and then return to the palace to worship their ancestors before the wedding can be considered complete.

Liu Tong and Liu Yong sat in a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, looking down from the window.

Many people, like them, were also standing at the window.

The teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street were already packed with people.

Liu Tong and Liu Yong managed to book this private room half a month in advance, and during that time, some people tried to take it from them, taking advantage of the fact that they were hostages and attempting to forcibly seize it.

The next day, the man broke his leg and was unable to get out of bed, so the private room naturally returned to Liu Tong and Liu Yong.

As the emperor and empress's carriage passed by the restaurant, Liu Yong held up a wine cup and gestured towards the people inside.

Ying Feng saw Liu Yong's actions and smiled at him.

That smile was so beautiful that many young women and wives clutched their chests and screamed, throwing their flowers, handkerchiefs and jewelry at the carriage.

Feng Yao frowned unhappily, finding the sight of these flowers and jewelry irritating.

Suddenly, a handkerchief containing jewelry was thrown towards her face.

Feng Yao angrily reached out and caught the handkerchief. Just as she was about to throw it away, she suddenly noticed that there were small words written on it, and the handwriting looked quite familiar.

Feng Yao glanced at Ying Feng beside her and noticed that his attention was still on the window on the second floor of the restaurant. She quickly hid the handkerchief in her wide sleeve.

She forgot that martial artists are highly perceptive, and her little movements did not escape Ying Feng's notice.

Ying Feng sighed inwardly.
