The next day, Great Xia Kingdom and Great Yan Kingdom started the first negotiation, and the eyes of the entire capital were focused on the other courtyard.

And Xiao Rui was dressed in a leisurely gown, plainly dressed, while Yan Linglong was disguised as a man, and her face was specially made up, which made her soft face more angular, and her feminine appearance became less feminine, and she looked more like a handsome young man.

At this time, the two were walking on the streets of Dongfang District. Yan Linglong seemed to have entered the Grand View Garden, looking around and observing new gadgets.

Baiyunshan, Wei Guang, and Shaoyao followed secretly, so only Xiao Rui accompanied Yan Linglong, and Xiao Rui, who had traveled through time, once again felt the horror of being surrounded by shopping.

"Great Xia is worthy of being a prosperous city, and now I see it for what it is! The people live and work in peace and contentment, with smiles on their faces. This is the happiness of a healthy life. The bustling streets are full of traffic, which is the enrichment of people's wealth." Yan Linglong suddenly felt a little sentimental: "What? How could the Great Yan Kingdom have such a prosperous age?"

Xiao Rui was silent when he heard this.He has never been to Dayan, he doesn't know about Dayan's condition, and he doesn't understand Yan Linglong's emotion and envy in his words, but if he wants to come to the so-called Kaiyuan prosperous age or Kangqian prosperous age in his previous life, it is not as good as the current Daxia Kingdom.

The emperor of Xia tried his best to make the barren and weak Daxia prosperous. As his son, Xiao Rui, who was determined to be the successor, what should he do for Daxia?

Yan Linglong turned her head, looked at the pensive Xiao Rui, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, I have heard that there are many famous gardens in the capital of Great Xia, can you show me?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "In addition to the royal garden, there are twelve gardens in the capital, namely the Jing Garden, Pear Garden, Su Causeway Garden, Slender Orchid Garden, and Hairpin Garden..."

"I don't know where Miss Yan wants to go?"

Xiao Rui handed over the choice to Yan Linglong.

Yan Linglong seemed to have a feeling in her heart, took a deep look at Xiao Rui, and then said with a smile: "That is naturally the top of the twelve gardens!"

"Okay, then let's go!" Xiao Rui didn't refuse, and the two went to Jingyuan.

The Jing Garden is known as the first of the twelve gardens, and its scenery is only slightly inferior to that of the Royal Garden. The scenery is exquisite, large in scale, and very quiet.He belongs to the Zhou family's property, the Zhou family of Queen Zhou Xiangyun.

Ordinary people and officials couldn't get in at all, but Xiao Rui showed the prince's order, and immediately got in unimpeded.

Walking in the secluded winding path, along the road there are strange stones, ancient pines, small bridges, flowing water, gazebos, koi...

There is a word: "Small gardens are quiet and quiet, with sparse fences and winding paths imitating mountain homes. During the day, I sing to stop the romantic, and suddenly I hear the sound of the catalpa and the green yarn.

Add bamboo and stone, with haze.I plan to comfort my years with bottles of wine.Don't sigh for the raw meat in your thighs, and work hard to plant flowers in spring. "

Yan Linglong exclaimed: "Among the seven kingdoms of China, the scenery of Xia Kingdom is indeed the most elegant!"

Xiao Rui nodded in agreement, this is true.

There are many hills in Daqi, and the folk customs are heroic.The Great Yuan Kingdom to the north is a grassland, mostly rough.The climate in Dayan is hot and humid, and the folk customs are dry.As for the Great Zhao Kingdom, which is located in the center of the mainland, it is integrated and diverse.In addition, the simplicity of the Great Qin Kingdom and the enthusiasm of the Great Wei Kingdom are not as good as the Great Xia Kingdom with four distinct seasons and a pleasant and elegant environment.

"If the princess likes it, she can come here often in the future." Xiao Rui joked.

Yan Linglong smiled, but did not speak.

Passing through the rockery, the two came to a gazebo to rest for a while.Outside the gazebo is a small lake, where koi are competing for food, so it is very lively.

Such scenery is very pleasing to the eye.

but,

The sudden sound of Shuo Shuo startled the two of them. When they turned their heads, they saw four or five masked killers jumping out of the rockery, charging towards them with sharp knives.

Xiao Rui immediately pulled Yan Linglong behind to protect her, but this action made Yan Linglong look strange.

At this time, the killer in front had already rushed outside the gazebo, and slashed at the two of them with a shining sharp blade.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, there was a strong sound of breaking wind, and an arrow feather shot from the other side, flew past Xiao Rui's side, and directly shot dead the first killer who rushed into the gazebo!

It's a pity that these killers are all outlaws, and they didn't stop at all, but continued to rush in.

Bai Yunshan and Wu Zhanfa, who were hiding in the dark, had already launched a counterattack. They rushed into the pavilion to fight the assassin.

The remaining four killers are only third-rank warriors. How can they be the opponents of Baiyunshan and Wu Zhanfa, and they were slaughtered in a short time.

After the assassin was killed, Bai Yunshan clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I have surprised you."

Yan Linglong nodded, and said, "Thanks to Commander Bai for his protection."

Bai Yunshan smiled, and he and Wu Zhanfa exited the pavilion.

Yan Linglong looked in the direction of the arrow, a middle-aged woman was lowering her bow.

It is peony.

Chapter 114: Situation

Yan Linglong narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw Shaoyao retracting her bow, and said in surprise, "King Xian, there are female soldiers from our Great Yan State Women's Army by your side?"

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Shaoyao was indeed a female soldier in the past, but marrying a husband and following her husband has long since had nothing to do with the Great Yan Kingdom. Why, Her Royal Highness wants to ask the teacher to ask for it, and ask for it from the king?"

"That's not true, I'm just curious." Yan Linglong smiled and said, "I'm in charge of the Women's Army, so it can be regarded as meeting an old friend in a foreign country, so naturally I feel strange."

Xiao Rui said: "Let's move to another place. The blood and corpses are lying all over the pavilion in this place. It's a big spoiler."

Yan Linglong nodded, and walked out of the pavilion with Xiao Rui, taking a walk by the lake.

"King Xian, these assassins are too arrogant, they actually followed us to assassinate secretly! I hope that the Great Xia Kingdom will investigate their origins as soon as possible, and then we must eliminate them, so as not to affect the important event of the meeting between the two countries!" Yan Linglong said.

But Xiao Rui asked back: "What does the princess mean, you don't know these assassins?"

Yan Linglong was surprised and said: "How did I know you! I'm new here, I'm not familiar with the place, so I was entertained by you."

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "Your Highness is very true, don't worry, I will investigate as soon as possible, I think it's getting late, let me escort you back."

"Okay!" Yan Linglong did not refuse.

Xiao Rui sent Yan Linglong back to the other courtyard, asked about the content of the preliminary negotiation, and briefly urged her, then returned to the mansion.

Jia Xu was waiting in the mansion, saw Xiao Rui coming back, and asked: "Your Highness, seeing your brows furrowed, did you not meet an assassin?"

Xiao Rui said: "I have met, but it is not the same as I guessed."

"Huh?" Jia Xu looked curious.

Xiao Rui described the process of the attack, and continued: "Yan Linglong just arrived in the capital yesterday, and today she is going out to play, and only brings Baiyunshan alone, isn't it just to lure out the assassin? And the assassin to be lured out is not Da Zhao country, not Da Qi country, not Daxia's assassins, but his Great Yan country's assassins. But this wave of assassins seems to be probing, and did not send a master. That's why I wondered, suspected that Yan Linglong was here Show me the acting, but she really wanted to lure out the assassins, but the assassins were careful and didn't go all out. What do you think, sir?"

Jia Xu analyzed it, and said: "I feel that Yan Linglong is not acting, but is really trying to draw out the enemies among Dayan's envoys. After all, few people know about it today. On the side of Daxia Kingdom, only His Highness knows about it. Naturally, it will not be leaked out, because Yan Linglong's assassination will not benefit His Highness at all, and Yan Linglong also understands this. Therefore, it can only be targeted at her own people. Those who know about going out are nothing more than Baiyun Mountain, Du Juan, Lan Junbo and Huang Qiusheng. Yan Linglong is drawing out the enemy, but the hidden enemy also knows that assassinating Yan Linglong is not that easy, so they just sent a few assassins to set up a suspicious formation."

"Obviously, Crown Prince Yan of Great Yan Kingdom doesn't want the alliance to succeed either. Because if it succeeds, Princess Linglong's prestige in Yan Kingdom will be even greater," Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui nodded, it seems that Baiyunshan is not from Yan Linglong, but is it really not as guessed?

It seems that Du Juan and Lan Junbo are Yan Linglong's confidantes, so they can be firmly convinced?

There are never real enemies or friends.
