The two men rode all the way and returned to Youzhou City in half an hour.

The two of them were silent all the way. Xie Yunsong naturally would not take the initiative to talk to Bai Zhiyuan. Bai Zhiyuan also didn't know how to explain why she had to follow him. She thought to herself: This person must be fed up with me.

She sighed, but was heard by Xie Yunsong, who said calmly, "Why? Aren't you satisfied with following me?"

Bai Zhiyuan laughed dryly: "How could that be? I couldn't ask for more."

Xie Yunsong ignored her.

After a while, the sky had darkened and the gate of Sun Mansion could be seen in front.

Bai Zhiyuan stopped his horse and thought that he should tell Xie Yunsong to prevent him from being passive when facing Sun Xuran.

She said, "Thank you, General. I don't have to follow you today. It's just that I happened to know in Shangjing that Sun Xuran is the man of His Royal Highness Prince Chen. In fact, he actually serves the Prince of Yan, Qi Zeyi."

Bai Zhiyuan observed Xie Yunsong's expression as he spoke. Xie Yunsong looked calm and Bai Zhiyuan couldn't figure out whether he heard it or not.

After a while, he whispered, "I know."

Now it was Bai Zhiyuan's turn to be surprised. She asked, "You knew? You came to the banquet because you knew? Then why did you bring me along?"

Xie Yunsong replied: "I really want Tianlin to do other things. If you want to come, then come."

That's it? Then she would beg for it.

Bai Zhiyuan was furious, but she didn't dare to say it. After a while, she said in a sarcastic tone, "Thank you, General, for your wisdom."

Xie Yunsong did not comment. He instructed: "When you arrive at the Sun Mansion, remember that you are a guard and do what you should do. In addition, follow my arrangements."

Bai Zhiyuan agreed. She was thinking about how to tell Prince Chen that Sun Xuran was Prince Yan's man.

Before she could think it through, Xie Yunsong had already arrived at the gate of Sun's residence on horseback, and Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly caught up with him.

Never mind, let’s just wait and see.

The Sun Mansion is located in the center of Youzhou City. It is not far from the downtown area, but not too noisy.

The doorman at the Sun Mansion saw the two of them. He must have been greeted in advance, and immediately came forward to greet them warmly, saying: "This must be General Yunhui, right? Is this your guard?" The master was already waiting in the front hall. "As he said this, he took the horses from Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan, and ordered the servant next to him: "Take the two of you in."

The two of them followed the young man into the gate of the Sun Mansion.

Entering the Sun Mansion, Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel like he was back in the capital. Pavilions, towers, rock bonsai, glazed jade tiles, all of them luxurious.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help thinking: Sun Xuran's mansion is so high-profile, it doesn't seem like an ordinary mansion can afford it. And he is the man of the Prince of Chen on the surface. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, others will probably only think that there is something wrong with the Prince of Chen. After all, the Prince of Chen is not as scheming as the Prince of Yan, so he lost to the Prince of Yan in the previous life.

At this time, Xie Yunsong glanced at Bai Zhiyuan and said coldly, "What are you daydreaming about?"

"Ah?" Bai Zhiyuan came to his senses and saw that he had already strode forward, so he hurried to catch up.

After a moment, the servant stopped and said to the inside: "General Yun Hui has arrived."

Inside, he immediately remembered Sun Xuran's voice: "General Yunhui is here. I am sorry for not coming to greet you. Your arrival brings honor to my humble residence."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered in his heart: "You clearly knew we were coming, but you didn't even greet us outside. How hypocritical."

Xie Yunsong still looked indifferent, not even raising his eyes. Sun Xuran felt a little embarrassed for a moment, so he said, "General Xie, please take a seat, and let your guards take a seat as well." He turned around and said, "Come here! The distinguished guest has arrived. Bring out the finest tea I have collected, and summon some singing and dancing, so that General Yunhui can see the singing and dancing of my Youzhou City."

Bai Zhiyuan sat down next to Xie Yunsong, and then it was Sun Xuran who spoke. There was nothing special about what he said. He just asked Xie Yunsong about what happened along the way. It was just some meaningless greetings.

Soon, the maids started serving the dishes. Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but be amazed, this Sun Xuran was really open about it, all the dishes he served were made of expensive ingredients.

Then think about it, they didn't even have a decent meat meal during the journey, and those new recruits, like Xiaoshan, joined the army just for the few taels of silver. When Bai Zhiyuan thought of this, he looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table and found it hard to swallow. When he looked at Sun Xuran, there was only unconcealable anger in his eyes.

Maybe Bai Zhiyuan stared at Sun Xuran, unable to hide the anger in his eyes.

Sun Xuran had been in officialdom for many years and was quite shrewd. When he noticed Bai Zhiyuan's look, he looked straight at Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan was shocked, thinking he had been discovered. Before he could say anything, he heard Xie Yunsong ask, "Why are you staring at my guards, Lord Sun?"

Sun Xuran was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "General Yun Hui is indeed extraordinary. Even the guards around him are handsome."

Bai Zhiyuan: “…”

She no longer dared to look at Sun Xuran openly.

After the little episode, the banquet continued.

Several beautiful girls wearing light red tulle skirts walked into the hall. The girl leading them was extremely beautiful with a graceful body. Her charming eyes looked at Xie Yunsong tenderly.

Upon seeing this, Bai Zhiyuan looked at Xie Yunsong, and saw that the man's eyes were still cold and unmoved.

Bai Zhiyuan felt that the girl's kindness was in vain. Xie Yunsong looked at everyone with a cold and arrogant look. Could it be that he didn't like women? Bai Zhiyuan shook his head again. How could it be? What about Shen Zhiyi?

Xie Yunsong saw her thinking and shaking her head, and he immediately gave her a look that said "you are sick". Bai Zhiyuan lowered her head and didn't dare to look around anymore.

At this time, the leading girl had already brought several maids to pay their respects.

The girl playing the pipa holds the pipa in her arms, plucking the strings with her slender hands, and the smooth and melodious music flows out slowly like spring water.

The other dancers were like fluttering butterflies, with graceful dance moves, fluttering sleeves, soft and boneless bodies, charming eyes, and they looked at Xie Yunsong frequently.

It's a pity that General Xie had no interest at all and didn't even bother to glance at me. It's really like my lover is not interested.

It was just one song, and the dancers were so charming and graceful, they bowed to everyone in a gentle and charming manner.

When Bai Zhiyuan looked up again, he saw the guard standing next to Sun Xuran. Bai Zhiyuan was struck by lightning and felt the blood in his body freeze. Others didn't know who this guard was. This guard looked ordinary, just like an ordinary person, but Bai Zhiyuan knew that this person was the guard of Qi Zeyi, the King of Yan in his previous life.

She would never forget that day. The day when the decree for Qi Zeyi to become the crown prince came down, and the next day was the day he was crowned the crown prince. On that day, Bai Zhiyuan sat in the Prince of Yan's mansion and felt relieved. She had finally sent Qi Zeyi to the position of crown prince and fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

Just as she was busy preparing for Qi Zeyi's enthronement ceremony the next day, Jiang Muyun brought the guard in front of him and took her down. She didn't react for a moment and even forgot to resist.

Jiang Muyun smiled and said, "Sister, you have been married to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan for many years but have no children. Tomorrow His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan will be the Crown Prince. Since you are injured and cannot have children, you should give up the position of Crown Princess."

Bai Zhiyuan shouted angrily: "How dare you! Who do you think you are?"

Jiang Muyun's eyes changed. Looking at her vicious eyes, he waved his hand and said, "What I hate most is your eyes. Come here! Dig out her eyes for me. I want to see how a blind person can be the Crown Princess."

Bai Zhiyuan was startled and was about to resist, but was pushed to the ground. The guard approached her step by step, with a sinister look on his face, took out a dagger and stabbed her eyes.

From then on, she never saw the light of day again.

A blind person really couldn't be a crown princess, and soon she was put under house arrest, tortured, and died with hatred.

Bai Zhiyuan's body couldn't help but tremble. She clenched her fists and tried hard to suppress her loss of composure.

Xie Yunsong, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong with her and gently touched her hand which was under her body.

Bai Zhiyuan finally came back to his senses and looked away from the guard.
