In Lincheng.

Huo Changxian rode his horse to the front of the house. As soon as he dismounted, the servant at the door quickly stepped forward to pull the horse to greet him.

"Young master, you are back!"

Huo Changxian nodded and threw the riding whip to the servant: "Is Yinshan back?"

"The silver guard hasn't returned yet. The gold guard has returned first. He said he was going to the school martial arts field."

Huo Changxian didn't say a word and strode forward to the school martial arts field through the garden. When he passed by a patch of flowers, he paused slightly.

The flowers trembled slightly, and a soft moan that could not be concealed rushed into the eardrums.

Huo Changxian didn't move or speak, just stood there and waited quietly.

After a while, a man stood up from behind the flowers and slowly put on his belt. His back was to Huo Changxian and he was calm and unhurried.

"Here, here's your reward," he took out a piece of gold and threw it in a brilliant arc.

The broken voice was mixed with a soft voice: "Thank you, Guard Jin."

The soft shadow also stood up, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Huo Changxian here. His already pale face suddenly became even more pale.

"Son..."

Jinshan turned around, quickly tied the belt, and hurried out of the flowers.

"My subordinates pay their respects to the young master."

Huo Changxian smiled without a smile: "When did you come back?"

Jinshan replied: "Half an hour ago."

The woman cautiously bowed her head and came forward to greet him: "I have seen the young master."

Her dress was still a little messy, her chest was half-covered, and bloody bite marks could be seen on her neck.

Huo Changxian didn't say a word. He raised his thumb, unsheathed the sword at his waist, and stabbed straight through his heart.

Jin Shan was shocked and looked at the woman lying in a pool of blood, then at Huo Changxian.

Huo Changxian returned his sword to its sheath, wiped the blood on his hand with a handkerchief, raised his hand, and put the handkerchief over the woman's eyes that were still open after her death.

Jinshan's throat rolled, and he took two steps back: "Master, I know my mistake!"

"What's wrong?" Huo Changxian's voice was calm.

"Subordinates should put important things first and should not be greedy for women. It's all her..."

"So, I killed her for you," Huo Changxian interrupted, patting Jinshan's shoulder with his bloody hand, "Jinshan, you are the person I value most. You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. Don't let me down."

"Yes! I will do my best, Young Master. This time, I will bring you good news. Those horses are in excellent condition and have all entered our racecourse." Jin Shan took out an account book from his arms and asked, "Young Master, please take a look." "

Huo Changxian took it: "Go to the study."

The two of them went to the study one after another. On the way, they met Huo Changxian's boy and said in surprise: "Sir, you are back!"

"Well," Huo Changxian untied the token from his waist and threw it to him, "Go to Wanjun Tower in person, buy Qingying, and give it to Jinshan."

Jinshan's eyes opened slightly, showing lustful light and joy: "Thank you, sir!"

Wanjun Tower is the best brothel in Lincheng, Qingying is the top one, and she will be paid thousands of dollars to stay with her for one night.

Huo Changxian smiled at him: "Promise! How happy is a woman like this? Remember, do your business well and get whatever you want."

Jinshan gave a big salute: "Please remember this, my subordinates!"

Huo Changxian read the accounts and was very satisfied: "This errand was well done. Let's rest for two days to recuperate."

Jin Shan smiled slightly: "My subordinates have plenty of energy and don't need to raise it. Young Master, just tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Huo Changxian unfolded the map and pointed somewhere: "We received news that he is on his way to the city. We must be prepared."

Jin Shan raised his eyebrows, his yellowish eyes showing fierceness: "Young Master just needs to say a word, and I will order him to stay in Lincheng!"

Huo Changxian waved his hand: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Although he is different now, he is still the King of Zhennan, his reputation is still there, and he still has an unshakable position in the army and the hearts of the people."

Jin Shan sneered softly: "What do the people know? They are just a bunch of stupid people. The young master is the orthodoxy of the palace and the most noble young master."

Huo Changxian's face darkened: "Orthodox, noble... I have been bound by these names for too long."

"So, Master, please give the order. If your subordinates are confident, close the door and beat the dog!"

Huo Changxian's eyebrows were filled with a smile: "It's easy to kill him, but what I want is not just his life, but also his heart. Let the world see who is nobler than the other."

"Yinshan hasn't returned yet. When he comes back, if everything goes well, then this plan will be safe."

Jinshan hummed: "Him? Humph, he might have gone drinking somewhere else!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside the door shouted: "Sir, Yinshan wants to see you!"

"Come in."

A fat and burly figure came in, with a dark face, brow eyebrows, big eyes, a red nose, and looked at Jinshan with his lips curled up.

"Who said I went to drink? Jinshan, please stop putting on my little shoes in front of the young master!"

Jinshan laughed twice and looked down at his big feet: "How can I?"

Huo Changxian asked: "Yinshan, how is the situation over there?"

"Don't worry, sir, everything is going well. When my subordinates come back, the secret passage under the village has been dug, and the powder has been sprinkled. It can be ignited just after the master's order."

Huo Changxian's eyes burst into joy: "That's great! Yinshan, you have done a great job."

Yinshan raised his eyebrows proudly at Jinshan: "Thank you for the compliment, young master."

"You go back and rest first. Later, someone will send you ten jars of wine from the winery. When the time comes, you make another trip and light the fire yourself!"

"Yes!"

"Both of you back down!"

The two of them, who were rich in gold and silver, exited. Huo Changxian's lips were slightly raised, and he was extremely happy.

Put away the map, get up and leave the study, and go to the back house.

……

Small woods outside Yongchang County.

Yan Ruyu opened her eyes, Huo Changhe came in and whispered: "The carriage has arrived."

Yan Ruyu turned to look outside. The carriage in the distance was getting closer and closer. It was their carriage, pulling Lin Nan.

Huo Changhe helped Yan Ruyu up: "After enduring it for so many days, it's time."

Yan Ruyu looked at him: "If the prince comes to ask, it's better for me to ask."

Huo Changhe's jaw tightened, and he was silent for a moment and said: "Let's get together!"

"Okay," Yan Ruyu shook his hand, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about people like this. It's not worth getting angry."

Huo Changhe smiled awkwardly: "I know, everyone has his own ambitions."

Everyone has his own aspirations, but these aspirations should not cost the blood and lives of others.

While talking, the carriage stopped.

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu came out of the woods. The moonlight was like cold water. The fangs had retreated. The three farmers were standing not far away with shovels.

The secret guard jumped out of the carriage: "Your Majesty, Princess."

Yan Ruyu got to the back of the car and lifted the curtain to see that Lin Nan was still unconscious.

Taking out the antidote and holding it on the tip of his nose for a moment, Lin Nan's eyelids trembled.

He woke up in a daze, saw the blurry shadow in front of his eyes, and blinked hard.

After seeing clearly that it was Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe, he slowly let out a breath.

Looking outside at nightfall and the moon, he was a little surprised.

"Is it already so late? Your Majesty, Princess, have you arrived in Yongping?"
