"You continue to inquire for information." Chen Changli was not in a good mood after hearing Wan Shufang's slightly resentful words.

However, the fact that the emperor would issue such an order also meant that the prince was about to arrive outside Luoyang City. He wanted to confirm the prince's situation and immediately sent someone to find out the news.

The secret guard followed the order and was soon released from the city disguised as a refugee. After leaving the city, he disguised himself as an old man and headed for the official road.

At the foot of Yushan Mountain, a hundred miles away from Luoyang City, Ye Xuan and Lin Jing were sitting on the ground with everyone, breathing slowly to calm down the heat from body to heart.

"After leaving the capital for decades, I came back to Luoyang City. Ye Xuan, why do I feel so uncomfortable?"

Lin Jing held back a lot of words along the way, but Ye Xuan and the prince were busy on their way and had no intention of talking to him.

He could only keep all his thoughts in his heart and never show them to the outside.

A few days ago, an assassin came to kill the prince. Although many people protected the prince and prevented the assassin from hurting him, they were already approaching Luoyang City. It was really strange that an assassin suddenly ran out under such circumstances.

Lin Jing couldn't help but murmur in his heart. In addition, the prince had not planned to return to Dajing before. As soon as the news that Chen Changli was imprisoned came out, the prince caught up with them and wanted to follow them back to Dajing.

Lin Jing had some guesses, but he didn't know what Ye Xuan was thinking.

He also observed Ye Xuan along the way and found that he didn't care much about these things. Only on the day when the prince was assassinated, he was worried for a long time, as if he was worried that the person who sent the assassin was the emperor.

Because Ye Xuan showed a worried side, Lin Jing knew that Ye Xuan was also not at peace in his heart.

He wanted to find out what Ye Xuan was thinking so that he could change his attitude towards the emperor.

But Ye Xuan was steady. He had been observing for a long time but couldn't detect anything. Now that everyone was resting together, he couldn't help but open his mouth to test.

"Luoyang City was originally the capital of the Six Dynasties. It has a long history and a strong atmosphere. It is a good thing that Your Majesty brings people to move here. What don't you like?"

When Ye Xuan heard this, he quickly glanced at the prince who had his eyes closed and was concentrating. He saw that his face was pale and cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead. He was obviously tired from traveling all the way without much rest.

But with so many people rushing on their way, it was impossible for the prince to be the only one tired. Therefore, the prince's condition at the moment was clearly not very good, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Ye Xuan was a little worried about the prince, but he didn't know how to persuade him to relax.

Just because after that wave of assassins, although they did not encounter assassins again, some inexplicable people would appear around them.

Those people seemed to have no ill intentions towards them, but in fact they were observing them and then sending news to Luoyang City. They did so without covering up their actions at all, as if they were eager for them to discover this.

After the prince found out about the behavior of these people, he knew that they might be people sent by the emperor and queen. Although he was dissatisfied, he also recognized the existence of these people.

Ye Xuan clearly knew that he was annoyed by these people and wished they could disappear completely in front of his eyes. However, there were people behind them. These people had different attitudes towards the prince. The prince wanted to know their true thoughts, so he naturally condoned the people they sent. people.

"Lin Jing, you have to straighten your mind and stop thinking nonsense." Ye Xuan suppressed some thoughts and raised his eyes to look at Lin Jing, his tone containing a warning.

Lin Jing met his cold eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

His lips moved slightly but he said nothing, only sighed.

The prince opened his eyes and looked at them, and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about me."

Ye Xuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he asked with confusion on his face: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

The prince glanced at the direction heading to Luoyang City, with an incomprehensible expression: "Although my father did not send anyone, we did find out one thing, that is, we have to appear outside Luoyang City tomorrow morning, and then bid farewell to General Ye."

When Lin Jing heard this, he immediately looked at Ye Xuan.

Seeing that there was no trace of emotion on his face, as if he was not worried about his son, Lin Jing was impressed on his face, but felt sad for him in his heart.

Ye Xuan was so loyal to the emperor that he even did such derogatory things as searching for Phoenix Gu. How could he have thought that the emperor would send his son to the border, who was his only son.

"His Majesty has given his decree. Even if he doesn't send anyone to find us, there will be someone who will explain it to us when we get outside Luoyang City."

Feeling Lin Jingtong's gaze, Ye Xuan knew what he was thinking without even looking at him.

Although he felt worried about his son, he also knew that such a thing had been carefully considered by the emperor. Even if he wanted to refute, he would have no chance. Besides, he was only a minister of the emperor, so how could he refute the emperor's decision.

He could only hope that Zhao Xu would live up to his father's prestige, be able to turn the tide, and protect his son at the same time, but he also knew in his heart that Zhao Xu could only talk about war on paper, and if he really wanted to fight, he might not even be as good as his own son.

However, even so, Ye Xuan could only place a glimmer of hope on him.

"Your Highness, it's almost time. Let's continue on our way." Ye Xuan sighed in his heart, stood up and moved his hands and feet, and then said respectfully to the prince.

The prince agreed with his words and immediately stood up and led everyone on their way.

The secret guard disguised as an old man had not been walking on the official road for long when he heard a series of horse hoofbeats. He immediately concluded that it was the prince and others coming over, and quickly found a place to hide himself.

Not long after, he saw the prince and others heading towards Luoyang City, so he immediately took a small road back to the city to deliver the news.

He was fast, but the prince and others were not slow either. Before dawn, they arrived outside Luoyang City, but the city defenders did not have the emperor's permission and were not prepared to open the city gate for them.

Lin Jing rode on his horse and looked at the closed city gate. He unconsciously thought of what Chen Changli once said, and then glanced at the prince.

Thinking that the prince was also turned away from the city gate, Lin Jing felt very uncomfortable.

"Let's camp here." Ye Xuan spoke before the prince.

Lin Jing immediately looked at him and saw that his eyes were calm and gentle, and inexplicable emotions surged in his heart.

"Okay." The prince had no objection.

After hearing this, Lin Jing naturally had no objection and immediately led people to station beside him.

Ye Xuan watched for a while and then came to the prince's side, lowering his voice and said: "Does the prince blame your majesty?"

"Why should I blame him?" the prince asked.

Ye Xuan kept staring at him, not wanting to miss his emotional changes. Seeing that his expression was calm, his heart was slightly ups and downs.

His voice was very low: "The city gate is not open because it is blocking you. If you don't mind, people with intentions will take advantage of it."

The prince chuckled and said, "Master Ye, you are caring about me."

Ye Xuan was silent, obviously he didn't know how to answer the prince, just because he was the emperor's confidant, he should swear allegiance to the emperor to the death.

The prince did not expect him to answer himself and changed the subject: "There are still things to do tomorrow. Instead of paying attention to me, Lord Ye, it is better to think about tomorrow."
