Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

Prince Yu's Mansion

"Have you caught the man in black?" Lin Muheng asked.

"I am incompetent and they all ran away." Ye Yu knelt down and apologized.

"Get up!" Lin Muheng said.

Just run away.

Yan Yu'an hasn't set out yet, so it's not appropriate to make such a big fuss.

There has been war reports coming from the northwest.

Xitu is ready to make a move.

Xitu had a new emperor and was in urgent need of a political achievement to consolidate his position.

When the current emperor was still a crown prince, he had already begun to advocate war.

After exhausting his father to death, he couldn't wait to start a war.

Emperor Rong Sheng disagreed.

It didn't attract any attention at all.

He believed that a new emperor would be overwhelmed by internal and external troubles and would have no chance of winning.

But Emperor Rong Sheng is old.

He didn't know that some people's ambition is to invade other people's land bit by bit.

In this way, he can demonstrate his abilities.

The new emperor of Xitu is simply a madman.

There are rumors that the old emperor was killed by him.

Because the old emperor occupies the throne but does nothing, he will just be a coward.

The Daqing army has been pressing in for many years.

The old emperor of Xitu didn't even dare to fart.

Doesn’t this make the prince anxious?

He thought the old emperor was a coward who dared not to go beyond the line.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he ordered a meeting of ministers to discuss countermeasures.

In the court, the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction argued endlessly.

However, the new emperor had made up his mind. He decided to take the initiative and sent envoys to Daqing to seek peace under the pretense of peace.

However, he was secretly mobilizing troops and preparing for a battle with Daqing.

Daqing's spies reported Xitu's unusual movements to Emperor Rongsheng.

Emperor Rong Sheng still didn't care. He firmly believed that Xitu was just bluffing and didn't dare to really start a war.

But as the deployment of troops on the Xitu border became clearer, Emperor Rong Sheng finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

He urgently summoned all his ministers to discuss countermeasures. For a time, the court and the public were discussing the matter. Some suggested sending more troops to the western front just in case, while others thought they should wait and see what the western front would do next.

Amid this tense standoff, the shadow of war hangs over both countries.

However, Lin Muheng didn't know what was wrong with his father.

Not only did he not increase the number of troops, he even wanted to send people to the northwest to check and balance General Jiang Huai.

At this time, if someone who has a grudge against Jianghuai is really allowed to go, Daqing will be really finished.

Fortunately, the emperor's suspicion also gave Yan and An an opportunity.

Lin Muheng didn't want to create any more trouble.

It was easy to tell that these men in black were sent by his good brothers.

As long as Yan and An were injured, the emperor would have to replace them.

With some more operation, your people will naturally have a chance.

As soon as the emperor announced the decree, Lin Muheng quietly sent people to protect Yan and An.

At the same time, he began to make plans, trying to get his own people to replace the men in black and go to the northwest.

The only way is to drive away those who are chasing Yan Yuan, and then disguise your own people as the ones who are chasing them.

Only then can they go to the northwest.

In addition to protecting Prince Yan, these people are also responsible for collecting intelligence on the front line.

Nothing can happen in the northwest, and we must not treat the lives of soldiers as a joke just because of the prince's fight for the throne.

Yan and An resolutely left the prosperous and bustling Shangjing, and galloped non-stop towards the vast and dusty northwest.

His resolute and upright figure gradually disappeared on the distant horizon, leaving only billowing smoke and dust filling the air.

Madam Yan, who stood at the gate of Shangjing City to see her son off, had an expression of worry that she could not conceal. She held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and her eyes followed the direction where her son was going, as if she wanted to deeply imprint the receding figure in her eyes.

However, despite her heart full of reluctance and worry, she did not say anything to stop her son from moving forward.

Because she knew very well that as the son of a marquis, the interests of the country were above everything else.

Before leaving, Mrs. Yan slowly walked up to her son, stretched out her trembling hands and gently patted his broad and strong shoulders, and said softly: "My child, don't worry. Mother will be waiting for you at home when you return triumphantly." Although her voice was soft, it contained an incomparable firmness and strength.

Hearing his mother's words, Yan Yu'an knelt on his knees and respectfully performed a solemn and respectful salute to his mother.

He raised his head and looked at his mother's loving face, his eyes couldn't help but become moist: "Mother! I am an unfilial son. I don't know when I can return from this trip to the northwest. Please take care of yourself and stay healthy!" After saying that, he kowtowed three times heavily.

Mrs. Yan's tears had already welled up in her eyes and were rolling down her cheeks. But she tried hard not to cry out loud, and just nodded solemnly, choking with sobs and saying, "Okay! My son is safe, and mother will be fine too, you don't have to worry."

As for the Marquis standing beside him, Yan Yu'an just nodded slightly as a greeting.

The meager father-son relationship between them was almost gone after his father became incompetent and deliberately ignored him in order to help his illegitimate son gain the position of crown prince.

Yan Yuan jumped on his horse, whipped it, and galloped towards the northwest like an arrow. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and finally disappeared at the end of the vast land.

The emperor ordered Yan Yu'an to take two thousand people to the northwest and escort two hundred thousand grains of food.

A group of people marched towards the northwest in a mighty manner.

Along the way, Yan and An were extremely alert, not daring to slack off in the slightest and always maintained a high level of vigilance.

Because they knew very well that the closer they got to the desolate land in the northwest, the greater the potential dangers would be.

At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from far away, and a soldier came galloping over, shouting: "Report--" When he came to the front, he dismounted, knelt on one knee and reported: "Sir! A group of robbers were found besieging a merchant caravan ahead." Hearing this, Yan Yuan's eyes froze.

He immediately and decisively ordered: "Advance at full speed, make sure to drive away the robbers and protect the safety of the food and grass!"

This road is the only way for them.

If time is delayed too long, more accidents will occur. Yan and An decided to speed up the journey day and night. After all, this batch of 200,000 grains and fodder is of great importance and cannot be lost.

And those robbers might just be a decoy. Their real target might not be this ordinary caravan, but the 200,000 tons of food and fodder they were escorting.

Soon, Yan Yuan led the army to the scene at lightning speed.

I saw a group of bandits surrounding the caravan and attacking it crazily, with shouts of killing resounding through the sky.

At Yan Yu'an's command, the soldiers rushed towards the robbers like a tiger descending from a mountain, and the two sides instantly fell into a fierce battle. For a moment, swords flashed and blood splattered.

Seeing that the other side was coming with great momentum, well-trained and well-equipped, the robbers knew they were no match for them, so they dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.

Yan Yu'an rescued the caravan, only to discover that one of the women was his old acquaintance, Su Wan.

Su Wan burst into tears of gratitude, but Yan Yu'an just nodded indifferently. However, he was secretly wondering why Su Wan was here?

Yan Yuan became more cautious.

Su Wan is the daughter of the prefect of Lingzhou, and her maternal family has been in business for generations.

Four years ago, Yan Yuan saved her life on the road.

I thought we would never meet again.

I didn't expect to meet you again.

Su Wan was filled with gratitude. She was also very surprised after recognizing Yan Yu'an: "Mr. Yan, thank you very much. I didn't expect that you would save my life again. We are really destined to be together."

Hearing this, Yan Yuan frowned.

Su Wan's tone doesn't sound like that of a girl from the boudoir.

As soon as you open your mouth, you will be destined to be with men.

Can such words be said casually? Even if two people are familiar with each other, it should not come out of a woman's mouth.

Yan Yuan was busy with official business and it was inconvenient for him to have too much contact with her.

Moreover, he thought, there was something wrong with this caravan.

Who would believe that the magistrate's daughter would pledge goods?

Yan Yu'an didn't want to cause any trouble, so he jumped on the horse swiftly.

"Let's go!" Yan Yuan ordered.

After saying that, he nodded to Su Wan and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, Su Wan said delicately, "Master Yan, can you please be a good person and let me go with you?"

After saying that, she smoothed her messy hair and looked pitiful.

"Girl! Our journey is dangerous, you should follow the escort!"

"But the robbers just now will be involved again, right?" Seeing Yan Yuan refused, Su Wan said anxiously.

Yan Yu'an looked over and said, "The robbers are coming for me, and have nothing to do with the caravan."

At this time, a person who looked like a leader stepped forward and said, "Sir! The young lady is a precious lady, I dare not make any mistakes. Please be merciful and let the young lady go back to Lingzhou with you."

Yan Yu'an narrowed his eyes.

This person already knew which direction they were going and was waiting here on purpose.

Yan Yu'an suddenly asked, "How do you know we are going to Lingzhou?"

Su Wan was shocked and glared at the man fiercely.

The man realized that he had spoken out of turn and wanted to explain further.

Su Wan immediately made up for it: "He was just guessing, and he offended Master Yan."

"Guess? Humph! Come on, tie these people up for me!"

Yan Yu'an's eyes widened with anger, and he suddenly shouted, his voice suddenly exploding like thunder. This sudden attack startled everyone present, especially those who were targeted, who were caught off guard and panicked.

They originally thought that Yan Yu'an would act in the usual way, but they didn't expect him to be so unexpected and completely unconventional.

This move instantly disrupted their original plans and deployments, and messed everything up.

"I wonder who dares to touch us!" A man stepped forward from the crowd. His face turned red and his expression became more ferocious and terrifying, like a beast about to go berserk.

As he roared, the atmosphere around him suddenly became tense and oppressive. At this moment, this man finally tore off his disguise and exposed his true face of cruelty and viciousness.

Yan Yuan looked at them coldly: "Don't you dare? Aren't you too self-righteous?"

After saying that, he rushed out first and slashed the man who had just spoken with a knife.

The man shouted in shock and immediately went to fight.

At this time, shouts and screams were deafening, and those who had just disappeared came out again.

Fighting side by side with the people from the caravan just now.

Yan Yu'an's eyes turned cold: "Sure enough! Catch her!"

His sword pointed at Su Wan.

Su Wan immediately put away her weak look and said, "Then it depends on your ability."

The two sides were fighting fiercely, Su Wan seized the opportunity and flew away using her Qinggong skills. Seeing this, Yan Yuan followed closely behind.

"Where are you running to!" he shouted, and the long sword in his hand shot out rapidly, heading straight for Su Wan's back.

Su Wan dodged to the side and narrowly avoided the attack. However, her movements were still a little slow, and she was kicked by Yan Yu'an and fell to the ground.

Yan Yuan took the opportunity to step forward and put his sword to her throat, "Come back with me!"

"Don't even think about it!" Su Wan said gritting her teeth, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

At this moment, a hidden arrow suddenly shot towards Yan Yu'an. He dodged sideways, but found more arrows coming towards him.

Yan Yuan was furious: "You're looking for death!"

He flipped over on the ground and pointed his sword at Su Wan's forehead.

Su Wan cursed, which didn't match her appearance at all.

The rain of arrows stopped.

Su Wan surrendered.

Yan and An ordered.

"Send her to the capital and hand her over to the Ministry of Justice to investigate her background." Yan Yu'an selected four people whose martial arts skills were enough to escort a person, and asked them to escort Su Wan to the capital.

Su Wan was horrified: "Master Yan, what do you mean?"

Once you enter the Ministry of Justice, there is no way you will get out alive.

Yan Yu'an said coldly: "For Miss Su's safety, I will send someone to escort you to the capital, and someone will naturally take good care of you."

In this desolate countryside, Su Wan, a rich lady, was actually escorting a caravan.

He doesn't even know how to find someone reliable for this acting.

It seems that there is something wrong with Su Wan's identity.

The first thing Yan Yuan thought of was that she was a spy from the enemy country.

Su Wan's plan was seen through before it was implemented.

She sneered, "I didn't expect that Master Yan would be much more alert after not seeing him for a few years."

Yan Yuan sneered: "You have become stupid."

"Looking for death!" Su Wan suddenly flew into the air and grabbed Yan Yu'an's neck.

But before she could fly up, four masters who looked like soldiers had already knocked her to the ground.

"Who are you? How dare you treat me so rudely!" Su Wan glared at the four people.

"Miss, can't you see the situation clearly? You are a criminal." said one of them.

"If you have the guts, take me to the northwest." Su Wan said.

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you think we will listen to you? Let's go!" He picked up Su Wan like a chicken.

Su Wan's face turned very ugly. She could never have imagined that her plan had already been discovered by others.

"Take her away." Yan Yu'an waved his hand, signaling his men to take Su Wan away.

"Wait, I have something else to say." Su Wan shouted.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk when we get to the capital." Yan Yu'an responded coldly.

Su Wan was taken away, and Yan Yu'an looked at her departing back, thoughtful.

The gangsters were beaten so badly that they screamed like ghosts and wolves. Looking at the man lying on the ground, Yan Yu'an said coldly, "Kill without mercy!"

The gangster was horrified, "You can't kill us?"

"Why?" Yan Yuan asked.
