The prince is hard to serve

When the two returned to the post house, the watchman happened to sound the drum for the third watch.

Accompanied Jiang Xi back to the room, watched him lie down on the bed with his own eyes, and then An Yi jumped up to the roof lightly.

Sitting on the eaves, secretly looking at the full moon in the sky, the usual awe-inspiring expression on his face rarely faded, revealing some daze and thoughtfulness.

Just now, when Jiang Xi mentioned the letter again, an inexplicable anger arose in his heart. He was angry that even though Jiang Xi had suffered so much and was used in such a way, he was still so stupid and could not forget it. Losing the person who put his feelings in the dust and hurt him to the extreme, will always miss her...

Such emotions should not have appeared on him.

Thinking of the time when I got along with Jiang Xi during this period, it was indeed extremely harmonious, but thinking of this, An Yi who came over anyway couldn't help but frowned, and his expression also changed slightly.

He has no father and no mother. When he was young, he was taken in by his master and taught him kung fu. Later, when he grew up, his master taught him the responsibility of being a secret guard and asked him to protect the second prince. However, what he has done these days is not It has already surpassed the duty of being a secret guard.

Although Jiang Xi is not his master, all he has to do is to fulfill his duty of protection, but now...

While meditating, An Yi suddenly heard Jiang Xi's voice, he lowered his head, and saw Jiang Xi standing in the yard wearing a robe, looking up at himself with a smile on his head.

Jumping down, An Yi came to Jiang Xi, and asked naturally, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet, but do you feel unwell?" In his tone, there was concern that he didn't even realize.

Shaking his head, Jiang Xi smiled and said, "You don't need to worry, I'm fine, I just can't sleep, by the way, are you on top these days and nights?" As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed The location of the roof.

He said secretly: "No." After a pause, he suddenly asked: "Do you want to go up and have a look?" Guessing that what Jiang Xi was thinking about now might be about the Fifth Prince and Concubine Liang, he added: " When you stand on a high place, you will relax a lot.”

After Jiang Xi heard what he said, there was a flash of interest in his eyes. He looked at the roof and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Hearing this, An Yi bent down, hugged Jiang Xi in a natural motion, then tapped his toes lightly, flew up to the roof.

Finding a relatively flat place, Anyi carefully put Jiang Xi down, and helped him to sit up, after that, he himself sat down beside Jiang Xi.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xi really felt that his mood was much calmer. He raised his eyes, looked at the distance for a while, smiled, and sighed: "The scenery here is indeed very good, but if And a jug of wine would be even better."

An Yi disagreed and said: "You have drunk a lot of wine before."

"Well, I know." With a faint smile, Jiang Xi looked up at the sky full of stars, then at the full moon, and said softly: "Tomorrow's weather should be excellent."

"Yeah." An Yi looked at him and replied.

After sitting for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Xi turned his head to the dark and said, "I'm a little tired after sitting with you for a while, and I have to get up early tomorrow, please send me down."

"Okay." An An nodded, then picked him up, jumped off, and landed firmly on the ground.

After standing up, Jiang Xi smiled at An Yi, then passed him and walked towards the room not far away. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around again, and said in a warm voice: "You also go back and take care of yourself." Rest for the night, without Shi Buyuan's order, Tang Zhuang would not act rashly, so tonight should be quiet." After speaking, he entered the door and closed the door behind his back.

Outside the door, An Yi couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that surprised even himself, he continued to stand for a while, then turned around, and walked towards another room on the side.

One night, nothing happened, and the next day came in a blink of an eye.

Suzhou City.

When receiving the news from An Yi, Yan Wenhao was about to go out with Mu Ziling and go for a walk on the street.

In the past few days, the rain in Suzhou City has been continuous and has been falling. Although it has only been raining lightly since the day they arrived, it has hardly stopped. Until today, the sun finally came out and cleared.Therefore, Yan Wenhao wanted to take Mu Ziling out for a walk together.

The two of them just walked to the door, and before they stepped out, they saw Duo Yuan trotting towards them, ran to the front and back, and leaned into Yan Wenhao's ear again, whispering a few words to him.

After listening to the words, Yan Wenhao suppressed the smile on his lips and nodded to Duo Yuan, then he turned his head again, showed a slightly apologetic smile at Mu Ziling, and said, "Sorry for being humble, I'm afraid We won't be able to leave until later."

Shaking his head lightly, Mu Ziling said, "But what happened?"

Glancing around, Yan Wenhao said, "Let's go back to the study and talk about it."

The three of them returned to the study room, and after they were seated, Yan Wenhao looked at Duo Yuan and asked, "What's going on with An Yi, are they still in Yangzhou?"

Lowering his head, Duo Duo replied: "A message from An Yi said that they will start their journey today at Chen Shi, and if everything goes well, they will arrive in Suzhou in three days."

"Ah."

Yan Wenhao nodded slightly when he heard the words, and tapped the table with his fingertips. After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up again, walked to the topographic map hanging not far away, and stared at it seriously. looked up.

Seeing his serious appearance, Mu Ziling also stood up. He walked to Yan Wenhao's side and stood still. He also focused his gaze on the topographic map in front of him, and began to observe carefully.

Pointing to a valley marked on the topographic map, Yan Wenhao turned to look at Mu Ziling with a sullen face and asked, "Qianhe, do you still remember the valley we passed through when we came here?"

"remember."

Mu Ziling said: "Because of the terrain there, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is an excellent ambush place..." As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped, and after a while, he opened his eyes wide , asked: "Are you worried that Shi Buyuan will set up an ambush here to ambush Mr. Jiang?"

Yan Wenhao's eyes were deep and cold, and his expression was extremely solemn. He said with certainty: "Shibu was originally going to make people set up an ambush."

After a pause, Yan Wenhao slid his fingertips across the topographic map, pointed to the road between Suzhou and Yangzhou, and continued: "From Yangzhou to Suzhou, there are many towns along the way, and many of them are There are lively places, and the population is not sparse, but here is the valley, there are no villages within a hundred miles, it is a deserted place, except for passers-by, ordinary people seldom pass by."

"According to our unannounced visits in the past few days, we can already conclude that the Xiongnu royal family who secretly colluded with Shibuyuan is the fourth prince Helianxuan. Helianxuan is ambitious and wants to invade the Central Plains in order to win the approval of the old Chanyu. As the new Chanyu, if I guessed correctly, he should have colluded with other countries and persuaded them to join forces with the Huns to form a coalition to attack Dayan. What he needs most right now is probably time, time to prepare."

Frowning, Mu Ziling thought for a while, and said coldly: "So, what Shi Buyuan has to do now is to delay as much as possible for Helianxuan?"

Yan Wenhao said in a deep voice, "It should be like this."

After a while, he frowned, and continued in a cold voice: "According to Shi Buyuan's ruthlessness, since he has dared to blatantly let foreigners and Huns enter Suzhou, he is not afraid of being noticed, so he must arrange Now that everything has been settled, once he hears that Jiang Xi and the others have set off for Suzhou, he will be the first to attack and deal with them, and then create a false appearance to deceive the emperor, so as to delay the time."

Hearing this, Mu Ziling frowned even tighter, and he said, "If that's the case, wouldn't Master Jiang and An Yi be very dangerous?"

"I'll send someone to help them now." After finishing speaking, Yan Wenhao turned his head and told Duo Yuan beside him, "Let An San and An Wu set out immediately, and go to make peace with An Yi. Remember, you must protect Jiang Xi is safe and nothing will happen."

"Subordinates take orders."

Duo Duo didn't dare to stay any longer, he hurriedly left the study after saying yes, and soon disappeared. It was time to look for set three and set five.
