Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Fang Yanjin was stunned. Didn’t they say they were here to oppose the princess’ marriage?

How did it become that he came to beg him to keep Xie Chengyin in the Huwei Army?

Fang Yanjin felt depressed and indescribably aggrieved.

He tried to keep his face calm and said, "The members of the Tiger Power Army are all strictly selected. Although Second Master Xie is Captain Xie's younger brother, if he wants to stay in the Tiger Power Army, he must also pass the selection. Otherwise, the brothers in the army may complain."

This is a disguised rejection.

He didn't want to keep another member of the Xie family in the Huwei Army. He had already made many plans to seize the military power from Xie Chengyi. Now there was Xie Chengyin. When would he be able to get the military power?

Now that the princess is about to be married, the man in the palace does not have any extra time to wait. He must take this opportunity to take control of the entire Tiger Army, otherwise, how can he achieve success.

Thinking of this, he became even more determined not to let Xie Chengyin stay in the Huwei Army.

Xie Chengyin saw through Fang Yanjin's thoughts at a glance. He wanted to drive him away and then stab his brother in the back.

I don't think about it!

He concealed the sharpness in his eyes and acted reluctantly, "I still have to participate in the selection, then I won't stay. I thought my brother was here, I could play here comfortably for a few days, and then get a job as a lieutenant."

Xie Chengyi held his brother back, "What are you thinking about? Everyone has to start from the beginning. Since you are here, you should behave yourself. The princess is getting married, and the escort will be selected from the Tiger Army. You should stay here well. When you become a guard, you will be more powerful than a lieutenant."

Xie Chengyi said it without reservation, but Fang Yanjin was a little surprised when he heard it.

He wondered why Xie Chengyin came to the Huwei Army for no reason, and it turned out that he was planning to escort the princess to get married.

But isn't this exactly what he wants?

Xie Chengyin wanted to become successful by escorting the princess to her marriage, so he would help him and let Xie Chengyi go with him.

When the team escorting the princess to marry was buried together with the princess at the hands of the Red Di, the military power of the Huwei Army naturally fell into his hands.

At that time, he would lead his troops to attack the Red Di under the pretext of avenging the princess. In this way, he could not only achieve merit but also gain the trust of the emperor, killing two birds with one stone.

Fang Yanjin's heart was burning with excitement. He had thought of many ways to transfer Xie Chengyi out of the Huwei Army, but none of them were as satisfactory as this one.

Looking at Xie Chengyin, who was still dissatisfied with the selection process and clamoring to leave, Fang Yanjin smiled warmly.

"Thank you, Second Young Master, for not leaving so quickly. I can see that you are also a talented person. Since I am a general in the same army as your brother, I have to give you some face. I will figure out the selection process, and you can rest assured to stay in the Tiger Power Army."

Xie Chengyin's eyes lit up, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes suddenly disappeared, leaving only admiration and gratitude for Fang Yanjin.

Xie Chengyi also stood up and bowed to Fang Yanjin, saying, "Thank you very much, General. I am sorry for taking care of my useless brother."

"Thank you, you are so polite."

The change in address made Xie Chengyi's drooped eyes tremble slightly, and when he raised them again, he was filled with the same gratitude as Xie Chengyin.

Seeing that their goal had been achieved, both parties exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Xie Chengyi took Xie Chengyin to say goodbye to Fang Yanjin.

After leaving the military tent, Xie Chengyi rubbed his stiff face and looked at Xie Chengyin beside him.

"Do you think he believed it?"

Xie Chengyin lowered his voice and answered, "He must have believed it, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to let me stay in the Tiger Army so easily."

Xie Chengyi nodded and walked towards his military tent side by side with his brother.

Thinking of what Xie Chengyin had just said, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Are you speaking from your heart? You're not really here just to be a lieutenant, are you?"

Xie Chengyin grinned, "How could it be possible? A lieutenant is also worthy of me, it is not something that can be easily obtained. If I want to be a lieutenant, I must at least be a general."

Listening to his brother's half-joking words, Xie Chengyi raised his hand and patted his brother's shoulder, "It's not impossible."

The two brothers smiled at each other and made the worst plans for the storms they were about to face.

In the Eastern Capital, the night is as cool as water.

A man in black nimbly climbed over the wall of Prince Lian's mansion and headed straight for an inconspicuous room in the inner courtyard.

Yan Ci didn't know how many times she had visited Prince Lian's mansion at night. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she saw the person lying quietly on the bed.

Finally found the rightful owner.

Shen Zhaoyi was not sleeping soundly and could hear any noise outside.

Tonight, in addition to the whistling wind, he also heard the sound of the door bolt being pried open.

Ever since he captured the man in black sent by Shen Zhaoyan last time, interrogated him to no avail and then cut off his head and sent it back to Shen Zhaoyan, he knew that Shen Zhaoyan would not attack him again in the short term.

So he withdrew most of the guards in the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, someone came to the door again.

Jing Feng, who was hiding in the darkness, discovered Yan Ci as soon as he entered the yard. Just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by Shen Zhaoyi.

Shen Zhaoyi pretended to wait, letting Jing Feng wait for the right opportunity to act, while he himself pretended to be unaware and continued to lie on the bed, wondering what the purpose of the visitor today was.

Yan Ci walked in and stood quietly at the door for a while, looking at the person lying on the bed without any movement, then walked towards the table.

She took out a tinder from her bosom, blew into it, lit the oil lamp on the table, and then sat down at the table.

This action surprised Jing Feng a little in the dark. He had never seen such a blatant assassin who would even light a lamp to assassinate in the middle of the night.

Is this because they are afraid of killing the wrong person or stabbing the wrong place?

Jing Feng was so surprised that he didn't move for a long time. Shen Zhaoyi, who was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, didn't dare to make a sound. The bright light stimulated him so much that he wanted to open his eyes immediately to see what was going on.

This assassin is a little different from the previous ones.

Just when his mind was filled with a mess of thoughts and he had no idea what was going on, a clear female voice suddenly came from the quiet room.

"Don't pretend, Prince Lian. I know you are awake."

Shen Zhaoyi was stunned, then he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

He looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw a slender and petite figure sitting next to the oil lamp on the table. The black scarf on her face had been taken off, revealing a pretty face.

Shen Zhaoyi's eyes were filled with shock, "Yan Ci?"

He had met Yan Ci many times and had secretly investigated her, but he never thought that one day she would become an assassin and appear in his dormitory.

Yan Ci looked at Shen Zhaoyi calmly, "It's me."

Shen Zhaoyi stood up, then remembered that he was only wearing his inner clothes, so he quickly pulled his outer robe from the hanger next to him and put it on, then walked to the table.

"Why are you here?"

Yan Ci raised his face and smiled softly, "I'm here to make a deal with Prince Lian."
