Chapter 323 Venting Anger
Gongzi Yan really had no intention of bringing Xie Fengyue back to Huai'an.

There is no way to say that Huai'an City is safe now. Although it appears calm on the surface, the situation is actually turbulent.

Regardless of how many people in his Wang family harbor evil intentions, just talking about the tens of thousands of troops guarding the city gate, he would never let Xie Fengyue take the risk. As long as she didn't encounter the main forces of Wu and Yue, she would be safe.

Gongzi Yan felt that the moonlight tonight was charming.

The sleeping face of the Moon Lady under the moonlight is like an exquisite painting. Her facial features are soft and clear, as if carved from fine jade, with an otherworldly beauty. Her eyelashes are long and thick, like two fans gently covering her eyelids, trembling slightly with her breathing. Her high nose bridge adds a bit of heroism to this overly beautiful face.

Gongzi Yan sat quietly beside the bed, looking at Xie Fengyue with affectionate and tender eyes.

The longer he spends with her, the more he forgets her beauty. In other words, it seems that his Yue doesn't need that kind of appearance to prove that she is a beauty.

He had mixed feelings in his heart, and was about to leave after a quick meeting. His reluctance could only turn into a helpless sigh. He reached out his hand and gently stroked Xie Fengyue's silky hair, feeling the faint warmth.

Gongzi Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He stood up gently, tucked in the quilt for Xie Fengyue, and then left quietly.

Xie Fengyue was actually awake. The soft couch in the tent was only that big, and she woke up as soon as Gongzi Yan moved.

She closed her eyes and felt Gongzi Yan stroking her hair. Xie Fengyue could feel that he wanted to touch her face several times, but he stopped at the critical moment.

She doesn't like parting and doesn't know how to say goodbye properly, so every time she leaves, it is always silent, no matter to whom she leaves.

I think it was because Gongzi Yan knew her temper, so he was afraid of waking her up and making her not know how to face it.

Xie Fengyue's heart softened. Gongzi Yan was really a great person.

Gongzi Yan rushed back to Huai'an overnight. When he came out of the secret passage covered in dust, he was blocked by Wang Zhiwei who had been waiting there for a long time.

He stood on tiptoe and turned his body to look behind Gongzi Yan.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" After Gongzi Yan finished speaking, he turned his head and looked into the dark passage: "Who are you waiting for?"

Wang Zhiwei did not wait for the expected person. After glaring at Gongzi Yan sadly, he turned around and left without saying a word.

His actions gave Gongzi Yan a headache.

He couldn't help but think about it a few more times, and hurriedly caught up: "Brother, is it General Dinghai who is here?"

Wang Zhiwei pursed his lips: "It's all in vain."

Gongzi Yan thought that he had guessed correctly. He straightened his face and said, "Prince Zhou sent Lian Qihai to be a lobbyist. In fact, he is no different from the two countries of Wu and Yue who are waiting outside. One is a hard approach and the other is a soft one. Why bother with them?"

Wang Zhiwei saw that he looked serious and explained, "I came here today to see if you have brought your sister-in-law back. I don't care whether you are connected with Qi Hai or not."

Gongzi Yan was dumbfounded.

His elder brother was a student of a Confucian master and was usually the most serious person. Yet he could actually do such an extraordinary thing as waiting in the middle of the night.

Without waiting for Gongzi Yan to ask, Wang Zhiwei answered: "Father said that you would bring your sister-in-law back today, and asked me to prepare wedding items."

"So you are curious and come here to wait?" Gongzi Yan had a complicated expression. He didn't quite understand his brother.

Wang Zhiwei said honestly: "As the eldest brother, is there any problem for me to meet my younger siblings first?"

He has already brought up his seniority to pressure others, what else can Gongzi Yan say?
His smile was a bit forced: "At most, I can help the Crown Prince of Zhou delay for five days, and he can handle the rest on his own." Wang Zhiwei was a bit embarrassed, and he looked worried: "He finally drove the King of Qi down, and now there are many people who want to take advantage of his unstable foundation to get a share of the pie in Lin'an. If we can help contain some of them, then let's do it. It's just a matter of convenience for us."

Gongzi Yan glanced at him and said, "If it weren't for your friendship with him, I would have captured those people outside the city long ago. Why would I have to suffer some assassination? Besides, do you really think that the people of Wu and Yue are all fools? During the days when they besieged the city, the spies have repeated those words of advice over and over again. "

When it comes to this matter, Wang Zhiwei is at a loss for words.

This is indeed the case. The reason why Wu and Yue dared to launch this siege to force Wang to express her position was that Prince Yan was poisoned in the open, and the spies were working behind the scenes. If time passed, they would have come to their senses.

His smile was a bit forced: "These matters still have to be decided by you, Sanlang. I should finish the task at hand first."

Gongzi Yan was very satisfied with his brother's reply and waved his hand: "It's late, brother, go to bed early."

The next day.

Prince Yan then received another letter from Wu and Yue, which contained the same old clichés, saying that they had no ill intentions in guarding outside the city, but only hoped that Wang would send troops and money to help Wu and Yue for the sake of the people of the world.

Prince Yan usually ignored these letters.

He was in a particularly bad mood today. When he thought about how her Yue was blocked outside the city by such a group of idiots and couldn't come in, he got furious.

He directly called the messenger who delivered the letter and asked, "If Wang is willing to come out, how should the resources be allocated to the two countries?"

One question broke the apparent harmony between the envoys of the two countries.

The two of them argued in the living room until their faces turned red but they still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Gongzi Yan was very happy to see this happen. He even exaggerated and said that it was not that Wang did not want to be born, but that a loyal minister should not serve two masters. He hoped that they could understand.

As soon as these words were spoken, the envoys from Wu and Yue almost started fighting.

Prince Yan was very polite and personally escorted the two men out of the city. He just spoke a few more words with the envoys from Wu on the way.

That night, the two armies guarding outside the city fell into chaos.

Gongzi Yan just pretended to be deaf and knew nothing about it.

The impact of this incident on the armies of Wu and Yue became increasingly serious.

Within five days, both armies showed signs of withdrawing.

How could Prince Yan fulfill their wish? Huai'an, where his Langya Wang family was stationed, was not a place where they could come and go as they pleased.

He ordered spies from all sides to take immediate action.

The spies were also holding their breath. They were tired of brainwashing people day and night for days. Now that they received the order from their superiors, they immediately doubled the dosage of various non-lethal poisons to avenge them for wasting their breath.

We have started to move secretly, and we cannot fall behind in the open.

Gongzi Yan directly bypassed the previous rules of warfare, discarded the challenge, opened the city gate in broad daylight and led his troops to charge into the pile of soldiers.

The armored cavalry charged forward, defeating the Wu and Yue soldiers who were either suffering from diarrhea or dizziness and fever.

The generals of the two countries kept asking until their death why Prince Yan was still alive and why there were so many soldiers in Huai'an City?
