Kicked the scumbag and married his uncle, and she was reborn as a medical concubine to dominate the

Seeing someone coming, those black figures had no choice but to give up for the time being and continue to hide quietly.

The soldier on duty was awakened and immediately raised the knife in his hand vigilantly, "Who is it?"

Qianye Ce immediately stepped forward, showed his badge and said, "When we learned that the envoy was coming from afar, our regent came to greet him personally."

"Don't be rude!"

Before the soldiers could recover, a clear voice of scolding came from behind them, "Everyone, stand down."

A woman dressed in red walked out of the room, put one hand on her chest, and leaned towards the man on horseback as an envoy.

"The third princess of Zhaolie, Shangguan Ling, has met the regent of Xiling."

"You are a guest from afar, so there is no need for the third princess to be polite." Qi Yan responded with a smile.

"The New Year is approaching, thieves are rampant, and the third princess comes from other places. I'm afraid it's not safe to stay in the inn overnight.

When the emperor learned that Zhaolie's envoy had arrived outside the city, he specifically asked me to come quickly to welcome the envoy into the city, so as not to cause any complications and affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Naturally, the emperor also considered that the envoy was tired from traveling, so he ordered people to prepare a resting place in the imperial city, and gave special permission to pay him a visit again after tomorrow. "

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty have thought carefully. Ling'er would like to thank you."

Shangguan Ling smiled politely, then turned to his servants and ordered: "Get everyone up, clean up, and set off with the prince immediately."

"Ling'er also needs to tidy up. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

"Princess, please."

As Qi Yan spoke, he looked around at the empty roof with sharp eyes.

"I heard that the second prince Xuan Yue also arrived at the post house earlier. Qianye went to invite the second prince to enter the city with him."

At this time, in the west wing of the second floor of the post house, Xuan Chuan, the second prince of Xuan Yue, who had a panoramic view of everything outside, frowned and lowered the roller shutter window that had opened a gap.

Unexpectedly, the Regent of Xiling would suddenly arrive with his people, and their original plan might not go ahead as scheduled.

Yue Li pursed her lips in embarrassment and asked for instructions, "Your Highness, what should we do next, should we evacuate the people?"

The reason why Zhaolie Kingdom chose to allow the third princess of the right age to pay tribute this time must have ulterior motives.

If something happens to this princess in Xiling, Zhaolie will definitely not let it go.

Even though Zhaolie still needs to be repaired at the moment, given time, the two countries will avoid another dispute.

At that time, it would not be difficult for Xuan Yue and Xuan Yue to take the initiative to extend an olive branch to the weaker Zhaolie and get a piece of the pie.

Moreover, if all the envoys were gone, he would naturally be able to pocket the carts of goods and materials brought by Zhaolie Kingdom.

Afterwards, you can also pretend to be a robber and take advantage of the wealth, killing people and stealing goods.

Xuanchuan had a good plan, but he didn't expect that Qi Yan would suddenly come to greet him in person in the middle of the night before the envoy formally conveyed the message.

The regent of Xiling has a great reputation, and with him around, things may change.

But once you enter the imperial city and want to take action, your chances are slim.

Especially the truckloads of things from Zhaolie Kingdom, they will probably be counted and put into storage as soon as they arrive at the palace.

While Xuanchuan was still hesitating, rustling footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Qianye walked very fast and reached the door in a blink of an eye.

As the knock on the door sounded, Xuanchuan quickly put away his thoughts and greeted him with a smile.

"Please forgive me for disturbing me tonight."

"What did you say, sir? I should have welcomed the regent in person, but I just got up and before I had time to put my clothes in order, your Excellency came over first."

Just before opening the door, Xuanchuan took the last moment to take off his coat and untied his underwear.

At this time, he was disheveled and looked like he had already fallen asleep. When he heard the noise, he got up and prepared to go out to greet him.

"It is a great honor for me to have the regent come out of the city to greet you personally. Please wait outside for a while, so that I can tidy up."

When the other party said this, Qianye naturally couldn't refuse and could only wait outside the door for the time being.

After closing the door, the smile on Xuanchuan's face disappeared immediately.

"Let people," withdraw.

He was about to give instructions to Yue Li who had climbed down from the roof beam, but before he could finish his words, a short arrow suddenly cut through the window and shot in.

"temple……"

As a guard, Yue Li was alert and wanted to say, "Your Highness, be careful."

But Xuanchuan took the lead and quickly covered the guard's mouth. While ducking sideways, he caught the short arrow that passed by with his index and middle fingers.

"Shh!"

Afraid of disturbing the people outside the door, Xuanchuan signaled to Yue Li before letting him go. He then took off the note tied to the arrow tail and unfolded it to read.

His eyes suddenly lit up. Xuanchuan thought for a moment, then changed his mind and told the guard:

"Let them ambush in the woods at the entrance to the Imperial City. There will be people there to respond. Be careful not to use poison that may reveal your identity."

"The woods in the imperial city can be used as an ambush. More than a hundred killers are waiting for you, but if you want to succeed, you still need the east wind of the second prince.

If the second prince is willing to cooperate, all Zhaolie's supplies will belong to the second prince. I only want Qi Yan's life. "

After reading the contents of the note, Yue Li frowned hesitantly, "The person who sent the message didn't even give his last name. Can he be trusted?"

"After all, the matter is of great importance. It is right for the other party to be cautious before they know what I mean."

Xuanchuan said, placing the note on the dancing flame of the candle and lighting it,

"We want supplies, we want to create chaos, and someone wants the regent's life. It's mutually beneficial and everyone gets what they need. It's a good thing."
