Jiang Ci patted Wu Ming on the shoulder: "You are the son of Zhenbei Hou, and you are quite like your father. You will definitely become a general on the battlefield like your father in the future!"

Wu Ming's eyes felt wet and he couldn't help but think of something his father once said.

We, the Lu family, are destined to be eagles soaring in the sky, and the vast grasslands of northern Xinjiang are the battlefield for us to gallop freely!

Dad, brothers, have you seen it?

Xiaosi is no longer a child protected by you. Sooner or later, I will return to Northern Xinjiang with your lifelong wish, and return to the territory you yearn for.

Huan Ying said in a deep voice: "Master, the Shadow Sect has just sent news that Su Ji has not returned to the capital. However, the false news you sent out has already had an effect. Many people in the capital are starting to make moves. The fifth prince's people are secretly working with Contact King Qi, King Qi’s secret side has sent killers along the official road to find your whereabouts."

"Where's the one from Fengyi Palace?"

"It has been extremely quiet over there recently. Logically speaking, the Queen is the one who least wants you to return to the palace, but this time she is uncharacteristically different. Instead, Prime Minister Zuo and the civil servants at the Yushitai jointly submitted letters to the court to cause trouble twice, but Your Majesty said that you He refuted Prime Minister Zuo and others on the grounds that his name was still on the royal jade plate, and since then the forces of all parties have calmed down a lot."

After finishing her words, Huanying glanced at Jiang Ci.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been ill for a long time and may not have much time left. It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are kind. After all, he and the late empress were childhood sweethearts and a young couple. They must have regretted the mistakes they made back then, so I thought I will take you back to make amends..."

He knew that His Highness hated his father very much, but if the old emperor sincerely made amends with him, wouldn't it be easy for His Highness to get into that position?

How much suffering has His Highness suffered these years living abroad?Now he still has to compete with other princes for the throne in order to avenge his mother and his grandfather's family. His journey has been too difficult. If His Majesty's recall is really to make up for his mistakes, it may not be a shortcut for His Highness.

After hearing Huanying's words, Jiang Ci curled up into a sneer.

"How does my father want to make up for me? He clearly wants my life."

Huan Ying:......

"Subordinates are dull."

Jiang Ci sneered coldly: "That woman wants me dead. Why didn't she respond this time? It's nothing more than that she already knew in advance the old emperor's purpose of asking me to come back. These old emperors favor the demon Yuan An, and That woman has a close personal relationship with Yuan An. It is not difficult for her to find out the old emperor's mind. If the old emperor summons me to the capital to kill me, she is naturally happy to see it happen, so how can she stop him?"

Huan Ying, Wu Ming and others were shocked after hearing this.

"Tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds..."

Wu Ming blurted out subconsciously, realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly shut up.

Jiang Ci looked calm and indifferent: "Being born in an imperial family, it is normal for father and son to kill each other and brothers to turn against each other."

In front of power, any affection becomes insignificant.

Yan Shu sat in the tent and continued to embroider the purse. He had been embroidering for five or six days and finally finished it.

Snowball lay lazily beside her, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Snowball is the name she gave to the little fox. The little guy is plump and has white hair. The name Snowball is very appropriate for his appearance.

At this time, the curtain of the tent was opened.

Yan Shu sat with his back to the tent, thinking that Liu Wenniang had come in.

"Mom, please come here and help me take a look. I still want to..."

Before she finished speaking, a pair of strong arms hugged her waist tightly, and the next second, a warm body pressed against her back.

Yan Shu froze, and when he was about to raise his hand to fight back, a familiar murmur came to his ears.

"Ah Shu, I'm tired, please let me lean on you for a while."

Yan Shu frowned slightly, Jiang Ci's chin was pressed against her neck, and his whole head rested on her thin shoulder.

"what happened to you?"

What kind of shock did the boss get when he went out?

"It's okay, I just want to hold you."

Yan Shu sighed softly. If she hadn't seen that he was in a low mood at the moment, she would definitely think that this boy was playing a hooligan.

After Jiang Ci let go of him, Yan Shu took out a few candies from the space.

"Eating sweets will make you feel better, try it and see!"

Yan Shu reached out and took the initiative to open one and handed it to Jiang Ci.

"It's sweet."

She likes to eat sweet and sour candies, so she always keeps some in the space.

Although I don't know what happened to Jiang Ci, eating some sweets is indeed good for regulating his mood.

Jiang Ci reached out and took the candy and put it into his mouth. A sweet and sour fragrance filled his mouth.

Yan Shu peeled off another one and put it into her mouth. Thinking of something, she took out the embroidered purse from the basket.

"Um... the purse you want has been embroidered. Let's agree first. This is my first embroidered finished product. Don't dislike it."

She handed the purse to Jiang Ci, and Jiang Ci looked down.

Although the needlework is a little rough, it is clearly an orchid.

Facing Yan Shu's nervous gaze, Jiang Ci pulled off the original purse and tied the one she had embroidered around her waist.

"You have worked hard to embroider this for many days. I will carry it with me every day from now on."

Seeing that Jiang Ci didn't show any disgust, Yan Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

After working hard for a few days, I finally handed in my assignment.

After dinner, Yan Wu ran to the Xu family's team to practice martial arts with Chen Xiao, and came back sweating profusely after an hour.

He met several hurried-looking people walking toward the Xu family's team.

When Yan Wu passed by them, one of the men in a black cloak glanced at him coldly. His eyes were like a sinister snake, making people feel uncomfortable.

He subconsciously looked at the other person, who was a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe under a black cloak.

Yan Wu was a little surprised that the other party was actually a Taoist priest?

At the same time, after the purple-robed Taoist walked away, he asked the Xu family attendants beside him.

"Do you know the guy in gray just now?"

"Oh, that's Yan Wu, a villager from Xinghua Village. He has some friendship with our eldest young master and eldest young lady."

The corners of the purple-robed Taoist priest's lips rose. It was so pure Yang Qi. I hadn't smelled this smell in a long time.

When Yan Wu returned to his rest area, Yan Ersheng, Jiang Ci, Yan Wen, and Yan Huai had already fallen asleep. He quietly walked to his quilt and sat down.

"Erlang, are you asleep?"

Jiang Ci was already awake when Yan Wu came back. He opened his eyes and sat up.

"Second brother, is there something wrong?"

Yan Wu lowered his voice and said: "When I just came back from the Xu family's team, I saw the Xu family's servant leading a purple-robed Taoist priest to the Xu family camp on the way. Is the Xu family doing some rituals?"

Purple-robed Taoist priest?

Yan Wu took off his shoes and clothes and lay down, holding the back of his head with his hands, staring at the stars in the sky with his dark and bright eyes.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter to us anyway, go to bed early, we have to continue our journey tomorrow."

Yan Wu closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly, but a trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Ci's heart.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ci stood up and left.

When Jiang Ci left the team, Huan Ying and Wu Ming immediately appeared.

"We have been keeping an eye on the Xu family's situation for the past two days to find out who the Taoist priest is."

"Yes!"
