Chapter 268
(PS: Thank you Changye Slowly Unaccompanied for your support and rewards all the time, and thank you for your stammering rewards, thank you!)

"Zhu Lingyun is the person with the highest talent for sword learning in the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty. But it can be seen that he is not Yuan Suiyun's opponent in the usual martial arts competition. The reason why Yuan Suiyun is at a disadvantage is just to continue to pretend and not want to confront him head-on. " Zhu Jiaju said.

"Both of them are young leaders in the Lingxiao Jiange, but in the light and the darkness, both sides have murderous intentions, and there is no wave without wind. They must be fighting for something?" Yan Long said.

Zhu Jiarou sighed: "It's not because of the fight for the position of commander of the prince's entourage battalion."

"Is the commander of the Prince's Standing Battalion a very high official position?" Yan Long knew little about the official ranks of the Ming Dynasty.

"Strictly speaking, the attendant battalion is just the prince's personal armament. It is mainly responsible for the prince's travel ceremonies and personal guards. The commander of the attendant battalion is only from the seventh rank." Zhu Jiaju said.

"Zhu Lingyun is the second son of King Yu, and he intends to kill someone in order to fight for the position of commander of the seventh rank?!" Yan Long felt a little inconceivable.

Zhu Jiarou sighed: "Princes can also be divided into princes who are powerful and princes who are not. Some princes are neither powerful nor meritorious. He hasn't been canonized as a county king yet, if he doesn't have a title, he may not even have a reputation in the future. So he has always worked hard and always wanted to climb up."

Yan Long sighed and said, "Understood. Then what's the benefit of being the commander of the prince's attendant camp?"

"The Eastern Palace is like a small imperial court. The subordinate officials in it all perform their own duties, teaching and assisting the prince. Once the prince ascends to the throne in the future, they will be able to rise to the top. Although the rank of the entourage commander is very low, he can get close to the prince at any time. So the future is unlimited." Zhu Jiaju said.

Yan Long said: "Even if the commander of the attendant battalion is a promising position. But Zhu Lingyun is only the second son of a prince who has lost power, and the murderer who killed him has been identified, so we only need to hand it over to Yousi to arrest the murderer. Why? But to cause such a big disturbance, not only Jinyiwei and Dongchang will join forces, but even the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate and the cabinet are involved?!"

Zhu Jiarou fiddled with the spring bamboo shoots and silver sprouts on the jade plate with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink!" Her smile has an ethereal but charming feeling, and when she looks at Yan Long, there is even more A faint loneliness.

Yan Long avoided her eyes and said with a smile: "Is it just for the battle for the position?"

Zhu Jiarou seemed a little downhearted and said: "Is there anything more important than power and position in the world? Especially for you men."

Yan Long smiled and said, "Of course there are many more."

Zhu Jiarou changed the subject and said with a smile: "You've been here for so long, I forgot to congratulate you on your marriage. Is Xiyan okay?"

"She's fine, she's very happy." There was a kind of happiness on Yan Long's face.

Zhu Jiarou pursed her lips and smiled, "That's good." Then, she began to eat with her head down, as if she didn't want to talk anymore.But she didn't intend to invite Yan Long to eat together.

Her eating style is very gentle and elegant, and she tastes almost every dish.

This time, when Zhu Jiarou met Yan Long, she dressed more casually, and now she was eating alone in front of Yan Long, as if Yan Long was a very familiar friend of hers, which made Yan Long a little embarrassed.

He wondered if he should leave.

Zhu Jiarou suddenly asked him, "Is there anything else you want to ask me?"

Yan Long originally wanted to ask her many things about the court, but seeing that she didn't seem to be interested in talking about these things, he changed his words: "No more!"

Zhu Jiarou smiled, her eyes turned red and said, "Don't you want to ask me how I've been doing recently?"

Yan Long whispered: "I can see that you are very unhappy!"

Zhu Jiarou burst into tears, she turned her head, wiped away the tears, and said sadly: "I thought in my heart, I could use his shadow to replace you, but I still can't do it in the end!"

After Yan Long heard this, his heart was shocked.

"Zhu Jiarou is interested in me??!! This is impossible!"

"Could it be that the person Zhu Jiarou mentioned is Yuan Suiyun?!"

"The fact that Yuan Suiyun is a ghost assassin will break her heart!"

Yan Long didn't know what to do at this time, he could only remain silent.

Zhu Jiarou looked at him, and suddenly laughed softly, she said: "You really are just like what Xi Yan said, when you encounter difficult things, you keep silent."

The corner of Yan Long's mouth twitched, and he smiled.Then, he said to Zhu Jiaju: "Princess, I think it's time for me to leave, you... take care."

Zhu Jiarou wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, and nodded slightly.

Yan Long was about to go out when Zhu Jiarou suddenly stopped him.

Yan Long turned around, and saw Zhu Jiarou walking over with a red brocade box in his hand, handed it to him, and said, "This is my wedding gift for you."

Yan Long was about to decline, but Zhu Jiarou stuffed the brocade box into his arms, and said in a cold tone: "This is not for you, it is for Xiyan, you take it back to her!" Say a sentence: "It's windy and rainy in the capital, you'd better go back to Yongping Mansion quickly, don't stay here anymore!"

Yan Long smiled wryly.

……

After leaving Fengwu Villa, Yan Long opened the brocade box, and saw a pair of jade Ruyi inside!The head and neck are touching, just like a couple supporting each other.

Yan Long sighed, put the brocade box into the system space, and rushed to the city.

After entering the city, there are still many people on the long street.All around snack stalls are wafting tempting aroma.

Yan Long hadn't eaten for a day, and his stomach was growling with hunger.Tempted by these delicious snacks, he couldn't help twitching his index finger. He stopped and bought a large bag of fenugreek at the entrance of the alley back to Yuelai Inn to take back to the inn to eat.

Carrying his things, he walked through the silent alley when three figures suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

Yan Long shook his head, and murmured: "The food won't taste good when it's cold." He opened the oil-paper bag, poked the meat with a bamboo stick and ate, as if these three people had nothing to do with him.

The three of them walked up to Yan Long.

Three of them are sturdy and quick-moving men, and Yan Long is very familiar with one of them.It was Zhang Yi, a thousand households from the Fusi Detective Bureau in Jinyiwei North Town.

Zhang Ni raised Jin Yiwei's waist badge to Yan Long, then gave him a meaningful look, and said, "Vice Hall Master Yan, we are from Fusi of Jin Yiwei North Town, come with us."

Yan Long stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, and said inarticulately: "I know you are from Jinyiwei, but I just want me to follow you. Where are you going? What are you doing? There must be an explanation!"

Zhang Ni winked at him and said, "You will know when you go."

Yan Long knew that there were outsiders present, and it was inconvenient for Zhang Ni to explain to him in many situations, but seeing that there was no danger warning in Zhang Ni's eyes, he followed with confidence.

After walking through several alleys, I came to a courtyard.

Yan Long knew who was going to see him by sensing his true energy.

——Liu Qiao, Commander of Jinyiwei!
