After Crown Prince Xu Yin escaped disguised as a civilian, he was left with only a personal guard named Feng Ji.

Xu Yin fled to the riverside, holding onto a big tree and gasping for breath. He had been running for two days and two nights without sleep, and finally got rid of the pursuers. Looking at the moon reflected in the river, he felt a little sad.

"Fengji, the world is so big, where should we go?"

"Your Highness, go to Qianfan City to seek Zi Ling's protection. Save your life first, and then plan for the future."

Xu Yin sat slumped on the ground, shook his head sadly, and refused: "No, last year, my father believed Chu Tianjie's evil plan and thought he had a backer, so he sent troops to attack the border of Ziling. I have offended him, how can I have the face to surrender to him now?"

Feng Ji advised: "Your Highness, those who plan for great things do not care about small details. Ziling and Cambodia have been at a standoff on the border for many years. Sooner or later, there will be a war between the two sides. Chu Tianjie is definitely not a match for Yan Kaiyu. You are the crown prince. In the future, relying on Ziling to recover the lost land of Nanlin and rally the people's hearts will be of great help. They will also use your identity to win the hearts of the people."

After hearing his opinion, Xu Yin regained his confidence, stood up and said firmly: "Okay! I'll listen to you. Let's set off now and head to Qianfan City."

It was easier said than done. After walking a few steps, they heard the sound of horse hooves not far away. The master and servant immediately jumped into the bushes and hid there. They waited until everything around them was quiet before they came out and continued on their way.

Hiding during the day and moving at night, the journey was difficult, needless to say.

……

The next afternoon, at Prince Yan's Mansion, Yan Kaiyu was teaching Shangguan Zimeng "conspiracies and tricks". It was always right to ask her to be more careful in everything, otherwise she would be too naive and easy to be deceived, and she didn't know when danger would come quietly.

Mu Xuan walked in and reported the news from Khmer to him, "Your Highness, Xu Yin is not dead, but his whereabouts are unknown. Zhang Lin is still in Qingcheng, leading the people of the city to defend the city. Zai Kuo has no way to catch him."

"not dead?"

Yan Kaiyu knew the importance of this person. If he fell into the hands of Jian Wen, he would surely be killed. If that were the case, no matter how powerful Zhang Lin was, he would not be able to stop the instability of the military and people of Qingcheng. Once people's hearts were in chaos, Qingcheng would inevitably fall.

Once Jianwen has completely dealt with Nanlin, he will immediately launch a war against Lengling. This is what Yan Kaiyu is really worried about.

He immediately ordered: "Take my handwritten order and go to the palace immediately. Ask Huaying to dispatch 50 dragon cavalry guards. You will lead them personally. Remember Xu Yin's portrait, disguise yourself and go to the southern border. Make sure to bring him back."

"I'll go right away."

Yan Kaiyu thought for a moment and then said, "Wait! This news was from three days ago, which means Xu Yin has been on the run for three days."

"What the prince said is absolutely true."

"Arrange the Dragon Cavalry Guards to focus on the periphery of Qianfan City, and expand the scope with it as the center. If Xu Yin is smart enough, he will definitely escape to Qianfan City."

Mu Xuan bowed and retreated.

Shangguan Zimeng looked at him with admiration. She truly thought he was so handsome when he was working seriously. He looked even more shrewd and capable than usual.

At the same time, she asked in confusion: "Husband, don't we have Shadow Guards? Their ability to search for people is stronger than that of the Dragon Riders, why don't you send them?"

"Idiot, your martial arts training was in vain. Didn't you notice that the Yingyi next to you had already withdrawn years ago?"

"Spilled? I really don't know."

Yan Kaiyu smiled and explained, "Back in Zigui City, I ordered Dongting to take all the Yingyi to Cambodia to protect my second brother. The war is about to start, and he is in a very dangerous situation."

Shangguan Zimeng suddenly realized, "So that's why. I was wondering why you don't let Yingyi do anything now. It turns out there's no one around to dispatch people."

"Yes, if I only send Dongting, I will not feel at ease. His Qinggong speed is the best in the world, but in terms of martial arts, three or five Yingyi can defeat him together, so it is better for him to deliver the letter."

Shangguan Zimeng looked back at Wudu and asked curiously, "Wudu, how many Yingyi can you beat?"

Wu Du said proudly: "Ten or even more."

Yan Kaiyu rarely praised others, and said: "The qualification to become a secret guard is to be able to withstand the group beating of Yingyi. Wudu, my favorite secret guard, has a record of beating 15 people alone. Of course, he is not as good as me."

After saying this, he grinned.

Shangguan Zimeng clenched her fists and said unconvincedly: "Tsk, when I have time, I will also challenge Yingyi, and I want to fight 30 of them."

"Come on, there are only 21 Yingyi now."

When she heard the number, she exclaimed, "Wow! They are indeed the best of the best. There are only 21 of them. The Dragon Riders seem to have only 100 of them. They are indeed the best of the best. I admire them."

Yan Kaiyu was in a good mood, thinking that in spring when everything comes back to life, it's time to go out of the city and relax, otherwise when the war breaks out, he won't know when he'll have time again.

"My dear, how about going for an outing tomorrow?"

Shangguan Zimeng jumped up, extremely happy, and said quickly: "Great, great, I've been wanting to go out and play for a long time."

There are always big things happening these days. Yan Kaiyu always goes to the palace after her marriage. He and Min Ran have been visiting all the places they should in the capital. They had originally planned to go out of the city for fun, and now it was just what she wanted, so of course they were very happy.
