Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 100: When I become a county horse, I will punish you, you wait
In Fenglan's opinion, Zhang Yuan was a captain of the Wuwei Yamen, so it was normal for Qin Yuqing, the chief officer of the Black Ice Platform, to recognize him.

The Black Ice Platform has the responsibility of monitoring one side.

"Gu Changshi has left for something. Now I am missing a top-notch guard by my side. I will have to leave it to you, Master Qin, from now on." Feng Lan said softly.

Gu Changshi left, so the princess summoned Heihu here?
Qin Yuqing didn't expect that the princess had arranged everything.

The princess had looked down on Hei Hu's reputation before, but now she had no choice but to summon him. No wonder the princess looked unhappy.

Qi Yue walked out the door and looked at Zhang Yuan with a trace of shame on her face.

"Zhang Yuan, we—"

"I understand. It's my duty." Zhang Yuan said calmly.

Qi Yue nodded and said nothing more.

She is now a little afraid of Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan's brutal killing and strong strength made her feel at a loss.

A moment later, the two men walked to the door of the wing room, and Zhang Yuan went forward and knocked on the door.

Xiao Tonglin opened the door and saw Zhang Yuan, his expression changed.

"It's you!" Xiao Tonglin looked at Zhang Yuan and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Prince Xiao, the princess wants you to come over." Qi Yue said in a clear voice.

As Zhang Yuan and Qi Yue went to see Feng Lan, countless thoughts emerged in Xiao Tonglin's mind.

What does Princess Fengming mean?
Is the person who delivered the Black Tiger's head also Princess Fengming's?
He suddenly understood, no wonder his position was exposed.

Everything was under the control of Princess Fengming from beginning to end. Even the ambush by the Red Scale Army last night was planned by Princess Fengming!

The layers of calculations are really scary!
Xiao Tonglin stopped and stared at Zhang Yuan: "It's you, right?"

Zhang Yuan's face was calm and he did not answer.

It would be difficult for him to kill Xiao Tonglin now, as he had no connection with this prince.

If there is any, it is the reward of one thousand taels of gold from this person.

Seeing Zhang Yuan not saying anything, Xiao Tonglin was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.

"Humph."

With a low grunt, he strode into the backfield.

Feng Lan was already waiting for him in the backcourt.

"Princess Fengming is very calculating and resourceful."

"Xiao's loss was not unfair."

Looking at Feng Lan, Xiao Tonglin's voice was cold.

Fenglan's expression remained unchanged, revealing a hint of a smile.

This prince must have tossed and turned all night and is a little angry now.

Anyone who fails miserably will feel bad.

"Prince Xiao, you're worrying too much. Everything Fenglan did was to help Prince Zhao's Mansion form an alliance with the Zhenbei Army."

"As long as the Zhenbei Army surrenders to the Qin Dynasty, the Xiao family will continue to prosper, and the Crown Prince will remain the Crown Prince. This will be a step forward—"

"Does the marriage promise we made back then still count?" Xiao Tonglin interrupted Feng Lan.

Feng Lan chuckled and nodded, "Of course, my brother has a child..."

"I want you." Xiao Tonglin took a deep breath and stared at Feng Lan. "I will go with you to Qin to get married. My father in Gubei City will definitely have no choice but to surrender to the Qin Dynasty."

Xiao Tonglin said it well.

If he went with Fenglan to Qin to get married, Xiao Renguang, the guard of the northern border of Dayan, would definitely rebel.

But Xiao Tonglin can choose to reach Qin alive or die in Qin.

If Xiao Tonglin died, it would be impossible for the Zhenbei Army and Prince Zhao's Mansion to form an alliance again.

He himself is his biggest bargaining chip.

Fenglan's expression remained unchanged, and there was still a smile on her lips.

After all, he is the prince of the Zhenbei Army garrison, and he figured out the key so quickly.

Talking to smart people is really effortless.

"Sir, as long as the great cause can be accomplished, Fenglan is of course willing to marry you."

"Given the Crown Prince's talent and wisdom, a temporary victory or defeat is nothing. Feng Lan has great respect for him."

Fenglan's tone was gentle, and there was a hint of brilliance in her eyes.

This kind of look, coupled with his dashing outfit, really made Xiao Tonglin feel moved.

But when he turned around and saw Zhang Yuan outside the door with his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and an expressionless face, Xiao Tonglin couldn't suppress his anger.

Walking out of the backcourt, Xiao Tonglin looked at Zhang Yuan with a cold look in his eyes: "Wait until I become a county horse, then I will punish you, just wait."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Fenglan frowned slightly.

She glanced at Qi Yue.

When Zhang Yuan invited Xiao Tonglin here just now, did he offend Xiao Tonglin?

A look of confusion flashed across Qi Yue's face.

She felt that Xiao Tonglin knew Zhang Yuan, but she didn't know what kind of grudge Zhang Yuan had against Xiao Tonglin. Could it be that Xiao Tonglin knew that it was Zhang Yuan who killed Xiao Han?
Fenglan wanted to say something more when a guard came to report outside.

"Princess, Master Ouyang Ming of the Zhenxi Army is here to see you."

Ouyang Ming?
Fenglan stood up.

Although this Mr. Ouyang is not as outstanding as Ouyang Xu, he is also said to be a genius.

It's just that he suffered a setback in Toyota County a few years ago and became a little depressed.

My cultivation has not improved at all in these years. I guess it will be difficult for me to reach the innate level in this lifetime.

Feng Lan knew everything about the younger generations of the Ouyang and Xiao families.

After all, Prince Zhao's Mansion had long planned to marry into these two families.

"Please." Feng Lan said.

A moment later, Ouyang Ming, dressed in a brocade robe, strode over.

When Ouyang Ming saw Zhang Yuan in the courtyard, his expression changed instantly.

All the humiliation I suffered in Toyota County came flooding back to my mind.

His future and his martial arts were cut short by Yu Lin, and Zhang Yuan was the successor to Yu Lin.

He had a very clear understanding of what happened back then.

"It's you."

Staring at Zhang Yuan, Ouyang Ming spoke in a deep voice.

"Mr. Ouyang, long time no see." Zhang Yuan said lightly.

Ouyang Ming snorted coldly, looked towards the backcourt, straightened his clothes, and walked in quickly.

In the backcourt, Feng Lan frowned slightly.

She didn't understand. Could it be that this Young Master Ouyang also had a grudge against Zhang Yuan?

"Princess Fenglan, my eldest brother asked me to bring you a message."

Ouyang Ming went to the backstage, bowed to Feng Lan, and said loudly, "Last night, the Red Scale Army was dispatched to surround and kill the Zhenbei Army's spies. The White Crow Guard's influence in the city has been completely eradicated."

Looking at Feng Lan, Ouyang Ming spoke again, "Fortunately, a strong man from our Zhenxi Army came to the rescue of Prince Xiao Tonglin."

Rescue Xiao Tonglin?
Fenglan immediately understood that this person was here to test her.

Ouyang Xu didn't know where Xiao Tonglin had gone, so he came to test her.

"That's great. With Xiao Tonglin in hand, there will be no more obstacles for my Zhaowang Mansion to form an alliance with the Zhenxi Army."

Fenglan showed surprise on her face.

Although Xiao Tonglin was in her hands, Feng Lan could not let the Ouyang family know.

Otherwise, Ouyang Xu would directly ask her to kill Xiao Tonglin as a condition for the alliance. Would she agree or not?

Ouyang Ming looked at Feng Lan, his expression changing.

This princess, who is known for her beauty, has excellent talent, intelligence, character and appearance.

With a gleam of brilliance in his eyes, Ouyang Ming said, "Princess, do you think you should change the conditions agreed to by Prince Zhao's Mansion?"

Change the conditions?
If Xiao Tonglin was in the hands of the Zhenxi Army, he could indeed be captured directly.

This is still a test.

Feng Lan showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and whispered: "My Zhaowang Mansion has already shown the utmost sincerity..."

After a moment's hesitation, she seemed to have made a difficult decision: "Master Ouyang, what conditions does the Zhenxi Army want to change?"

Ouyang Ming finally smiled and said softly, "I want to add one more treasure to the one I promised you."

"Anyway, the Zhenbei Army is no longer useful."

The Ouyang family also knew that Prince Zhao's Mansion had the intention of suppressing both sides.

Just as Prince Zhao’s Mansion knew that the Ouyang family was also connected with Prince Gu’s Mansion.

Holding out his hand, Ouyang Ming said calmly, "I'm going to take one away today."

Take a treasure away?

Although Feng Lan had Xiao Tonglin in her hand, she could only pretend to be controlled at this time. After a slight hesitation, she gritted her teeth and took out a small jade box and handed it to Ouyang Ming.

Ouyang Ming took the jade box and stuffed it directly into his arms, then said, "There is one more condition."

"My Lady, my elder brother is obsessed with martial arts and has no interest in marriage. Do you think I could become your Marquis?"

County horse?

Fenglan clenched her fists.

Ouyang Xu is a rare talent and is the best candidate to be a prince consort.

Fenglan had considered this a long time ago.

But what if the prince is Ouyang Ming, who has difficulty in improving his cultivation in this lifetime?
Taking a deep breath, Feng Lan nodded gently: "As long as the Zhenxi Army can make the most correct choice, Feng Lan will naturally know the importance of it."

Ouyang Ming laughed heartily, bowed, and turned to leave.

When he reached the door, he stopped and looked at Zhang Yuan.

"When I become a county horse, I will punish you. Just wait."
