Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

At the same time, Bai Wenxian also received a letter. He summoned the guards to the courtyard and announced the contents of the letter to everyone: "Bai Luocheng said in the letter that Zi Ling divided his troops into three groups to attack our southern border. He ordered me to return quickly, and Bai Chuan stayed in Jianwen City to discuss future matters with the Cambodian Emperor."

Bai Luocheng doesn't know yet that his eldest son Bai Chuan is dead. He wants to transfer Bai Wenxian back first and use his military talents to resist Zi Ling's attack.

As for Baichuan, Bai Luocheng will send someone to give him a secret letter, asking him to go to the palace to persuade Emperor Jianwen to send troops to attack Ziling from the north and south together with him.

Bai Wenxian said: "Everyone, the country is at a critical moment of survival, I have to go back."

One of the guards said worriedly, "General, if you go back, what should we do? Baichuan is dead, and I'm afraid we can't keep it a secret for much longer. If the prince finds out, all of us will lose our heads."

These words caused a commotion in the yard.

Bai Wenxian raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and said: "Don't worry, I will take everyone away when we set out tomorrow. As for Bai Chuan, hide his body in the cellar. The ice will make the coroner misjudge his time of death. He may be found after we leave. By then, we will have already been on our way back to the country. He died in Jianwen City, and the responsibility will not be on us."

Everyone was frightened by him and believed his lies. They never imagined that they would all die and become victims of the struggle for power among those in power.

That night, Bai Wenxian called his trusted followers into his room. These were his subordinates who had followed him for many years and whom he trusted very much. He instructed them, "Tomorrow, the four of you, don't leave the city with me. Wait half an hour after we leave, and then catch up with us according to the original planned route."

One of the confidants said, "General, what if the group of people led by Baichuan ask about it?"

"I said to leave you here to deal with the body so that it won't be discovered too early."

After everyone finished discussing, they pretended nothing had happened and returned to the room.

The next day, Bai Wenxian led a group of guards out of Jianwen City. After walking for about half an hour, he led these people to the place agreed with Yan Kaiyu in advance. A dozen Yingyi suddenly appeared in front of them, and without saying a word, they killed everyone except Bai Wenxian.

Bai Wenxian cupped his hands and said, "Thank your Lord for me, and ask him not to forget our agreement."

Yingyi acted efficiently, nodded, and disappeared into the woods.

Bai Wenxian looked at the corpses lying on the ground expressionlessly. He shook his head, helplessly. He had to kill these people. After all, they were Bai Luocheng's men. What if any one of them told Bai Luocheng after they returned that Bai Chuan died under Bai Wenxian's protection? With this prince's temper, he might take the opportunity to take Bai Wenxian's life, or even go a step further and directly depose the emperor and make himself king.

Bai Wenxian could not afford such a result. He had to kill this group of people, return to the country, gradually and secretly win over other forces and gain the hearts of the people in order to achieve the goal of countering Bai Luocheng. In the future, he would look for an opportunity to force him to return power to the king.

A moment later, Bai Wenxian's confidants arrived.

"General, you are worthy of being the work of Ying Yi. You are always quick and efficient. With such an enemy, I can't sleep well at night."

Bai Wenxian smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't? Hurry up and get on your way."

"Your Majesty, I still have a question. What should I do if Bai Luocheng sends someone to deliver a letter?"

"Don't worry about this, someone will take care of it."

That night, Yan Tingran took a few shadow clothes left for him by Yan Kaiyu, secretly stole Baichuan who was hiding in the cellar, found a dilapidated temple, dug a hole, and buried him.

As for the later letters, Baichuan, being a lustful man, said that he found the post station boring and wanted to live in Yihong Tower. He also found a few people to pretend to be his men to deceive the messenger who delivered the letter. He thought that this place was full of lights and wine, a paradise on earth. The messenger was deeply intoxicated by it and did not want to ask more questions. To the messenger, none of this mattered, as long as he delivered the letter.

Three days later at night, Yan Kaiyu and others returned to the capital.

Shangguan Zimeng lay in the warm and comfortable bed and said happily, "It's better to be at home. I was always on edge there, afraid that I would be killed if I wasn't careful. Back home, I don't have to worry about these problems."

Yan Kaiyu sat next to her and said, "You must be exhausted after traveling for several days. You should have a good rest first. I'll ask the kitchen to make some soup for you."

"My dear husband, stop working." Shangguan Zimeng threw herself on him and said, "You must be tired too. Sleep with me. Didn't you say you have to go to the palace tomorrow?"

"My dear, this is unlike you. Normally, when you come back, wouldn't you want to eat first?"

"I don't want to eat today. I'm too sleepy today."

Yan Kaiyu was about to speak when he saw her close her eyes, seemingly asleep. He shook his head, smiled slightly, gently covered her with a blanket, and left the room. He stood at the door and stretched.

Zhou Yan stood here tall and straight like a pine tree.

"Are you fully healed? Didn't my beloved concubine tell you to have a good rest?"

Zhou Yan said: "Your Majesty, I am almost well now. It is my duty to stay here."

"Go back and rest. There is still Wudu on the roof, and there is also Yingyi in the dark of this courtyard. You should take care of your body first, and then it won't be too late to come back to stand guard." Yan Kaiyu didn't wait for him to refuse, and continued: "This is what my beloved concubine wants, you can't go against her wishes, right?"

Zhou Yan thought that he really could not go against the young lady's wishes, so he bowed and went back to his room to rest.

Yan Kaiyu came to Qingxin Pavilion, Dongting was waiting here early and reported the battle situation in the north to him in person.

"Your Highness, General Zhou Zhili has recaptured Pingcheng and extended his attack to both sides. The enemy was no match for us and fled in defeat. In addition, General Ye Shenming asked me to ask when we can attack Sishui City. He is waiting for a reply."

Yan Kaiyu said, "I will write a letter, you take it to him, tell him to be patient, and ask him to send someone to find out the news inside Zehuang. If he finds out that Bai Luocheng is rebelling, or Bai Wenxian is the Grand Marshal, he will immediately send troops to attack Sishui City. Let him take full responsibility during the war, and he doesn't need to report back."

"Yes." Dong Ting took out a letter from his arms: "Your Highness, this is a letter from the waiter to the princess, and there are also some specialties from the north. Ye Jiuer asked me to bring it back to nourish the princess. She also asked me to ask when the princess and the prince will have a child for her to play with."

"Get lost." Yan Kaiyu put the letter into his sleeves and said, "What are you talking about? Giving birth to a child is just my own fun, why should I give it to her for fun?"

Dongting: What have I done to offend anyone? I am just a humble messenger.
