The back of Yanfei City is surrounded by mountains, and in front of the city is a plain with a winding river that surrounds the city wall.

It is a heavenly treasure land with beautiful scenery, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And the Junfeng behind Yanfei City is very pretty, with Changchun in all seasons, among which there are countless elk, hare, wild beasts and spiritual creatures.

Since the founding of Yanfei City, the capital of Yan State, the mountains behind it have been banned. Since then, it has become a royal hunting ground. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter at will.

Every spring, Emperor Yan will order to release a large number of young animals into the mountains, and in autumn, large and small hunting will be held.

The princes and nobles in the city and the children of rich families went there one after another to hunt animals with arrows.

And whoever hunts the most ferocious tiger in the mountains will be rewarded by the Emperor Yan, gold, fine wine, rare treasures and everything.

In the past, hunting was presided over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and Emperor Yan rarely came in person.

But I heard that for this hunt, Emperor Yan will go with His Highness the Prince and Princess.

Countless princes and princes are gearing up and vowing to win the top spot in front of Emperor Yan. As long as they show their eyes in front of Emperor Yan, their official careers will be smooth sailing in the future.

There is another important reason, that is, the only princess of the Yan Kingdom, Her Royal Highness, has reached the age of marriage, and the Emperor Yan prefers that the princess find a suitable husband-in-law in the hunting ground.

Emperor Yan had only two heirs, His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess, and he pampered and pampered Her Highness on weekdays. He not only bestowed the treasures in the palace to Her Highness every three days, but even intentionally let Her Highness take charge of the Imperial City Guards.

It is extremely rare for a princess to hold military power since the founding of the country.

Entrusting the safety of the royal family to the hands of His Royal Highness the Princess is a demonstration of Emperor Yan's love for his only daughter.

Therefore, if anyone can win the favor of His Highness the Princess, fly to the imperial city and become the royal husband-in-law, that will be a major event for Guangzong's lintel.

According to the news, the number of people participating in the hunt this year has doubled compared to before, and even the sons who are not favored by the family have followed.

The children of the nobles who often go hunting, the princess must be tired of seeing them, if they want to see them, they have already fallen in love with them. Now those nobles with active minds boldly bring the eldest son, the youngest son, the concubine and the concubine with them.

Maybe Her Highness the Princess will be able to take a fancy to one of them.

This year's hunting is more lively and grand than before. I heard that Emperor Yan not only brought the prince and princess with him this time, but also brought several favored concubines.

Among them are the concubine Xian who has been in the limelight in the palace recently, the concubine Zhao who dances all over the city, and the concubine Xian who comes from a prominent family.

The day before the hunt, the security in the city was tightened, and ordinary people were not allowed to run around in the streets at will, and they closed their doors early to rest.

On the day of hunting, when the people opened the door early in the morning, they saw a tall and solemn imperial guard in armor, standing a few steps along the street, holding a sharp spear in his hand, guarding the streets and alleys.

The common people wanted to see His Majesty the supreme, wise and virtuous emperor, the prince who will become the new emperor in the future, and the noble princess, so they put on new clothes one by one, with excited and respectful smiles on their faces, bustling and busy. Standing in an orderly manner behind the imperial guards, they did not dare to take half a step out of the street.

Xia Qiulian finished her grooming early in the morning, and heard from Emperor Yan that she had to stay in a palace built in the mountains for two nights when she went hunting this time.

Qingyuan and Lvruan will go with Xia Qiulian this time.

The two girls started to pack their bags at night, and brought Xia Qiulian's most expensive clothes, as well as the precious ornaments bestowed by Emperor Yan.

Being able to hunt with the emperor is an honor that only favored concubines can have.

Qingyuan and Lvruan were extremely happy, but Xia Qiulian felt a little uneasy and bored.

In her previous life hunting, she was assassinated by an assassin in order to protect Emperor Yan. In this life, she is afraid that the story will repeat itself, so she needs to find ways to remind Emperor Yan not to go out of the palace.

The palace is heavily guarded, and assassins have no way to attack. The previous night when Emperor Yan was assassinated, the night before leaving the palace, Emperor Yan came to the deep forest with a few favorite concubines and princesses, and lit a bonfire , Barbecuing and drinking in the mountains, the assassin found the opportunity to assassinate him.

Xia Qiulian went with Emperor Yan this time, and he will definitely persuade Emperor Yan to stay in the palace.

As long as they don't travel to the palace, those assassins can't even get close to the palace, let alone assassinate.

Surrounded by the forbidden army, Emperor Yan's emperor marched mightily into the mountains. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess were in the same jade cage, surrounded by thin white gauze. When the breeze blows, the people surrounding the street can See the countenance of the prince and princess.

From the moment Yan Huang's emperor was driven out of the palace, Xia Qiulian saw that the people on the street spontaneously kneeled respectfully, and even the little children who couldn't stand still were pulled to kneel on the ground by their parents.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The shouts of the people broke the sky.

Wherever Long Huo went, the common people knelt down and saluted, with their foreheads tightly pressed against the stone bricks, and very few people dared to look up at Huangwei.

Since Emperor Yan succeeded to the throne, he has always been very popular with the people. He is sympathetic to the wise and virtuous people.

Build rivers and canals, build bridges, exempt taxation, reuse good ministers, and severely punish corrupt officials.

The common people are fed and clothed warmly, and in Yanfei City, they never close their doors at night and do not pick up their belongings.

The common people's reverence for Emperor Yan was spontaneous, not forcing him to be majestic, and all kneeling and kowtowing were done willingly.

Even though Long Yu had left, the people still knelt down and refused to get up.

Through the tulle, Xia Qiulian looked at the people outside who were kneeling respectfully and humblely, but with sincere smiles on their faces, and the bitterness in her heart surged up bit by bit.

This is Yanfei City, and this is what Yanfei City should be.

She suddenly remembered the day when Yanfei City was breached, it was also a sky-shattering cry, but it was a miserable and desolate roar.

The hustle and bustle of the city was covered by the fire that reflected the red sky.

The bloodstains on the bluestone slabs meandered and dyed the moat red, and the mournful cries of the people who died tragically at the hands of Jiang Guo's soldiers, who were unwilling to be humiliated, seemed to reappear in front of Xia Qiulian's eyes as if they were reappearing.

And all these tragedies, she is one of the unshirkable behind-the-scenes driving forces.

Xia Qiulian's face was suddenly pale as paper, his hands were clenched tightly, his nails stuck into his palms and he refused to let go.

She can't forget the purpose of coming to Yan Kingdom in this life.

She wants to protect the people in this city, she not only wants to protect the country of Jiang, but also the country of Yan.

This is a mission that she will risk her life to complete.

In a trance, Xia Qiulian suddenly felt a sharp gaze cast on her from a distance, and she turned her head to look for that gaze in disbelief.

But in a hidden pavilion, he caught a glimpse of a pair of dark and playful eyes.

The man flashed past the window pavilion, but Xia Qiulian was startled, and a creeping chill eroded her body bit by bit.

The face that flashed by, those dark eyes like ink, were so familiar.

Jiang asked.

Xia Qiulian clenched her fists tightly and looked again, only to see that there was no one on the attic.

It seemed that it was just her illusion, her nightmare.

impossible.

Xia Qiulian muttered in her heart.

Jiang Xunyan should still be in Jiang Country at this time, entangled with the Crown Prince and his father to seize power, how could he have the opportunity to come to Yan Country.

As the prince of the Jiang Kingdom, how dare he appear in the capital of another country.

Isn't he afraid of being discovered and captured, and being trapped in the country of Yan as a hostage as a spy?

Xia Qiulian's complexion became paler, and the uneasiness in his heart became more intense.

If she read it correctly, what if Jiang Xunyan really appeared in Yanfei City.

Xia Qiulian should have understood Jiang Xunyan's resourcefulness and forbearance in his previous life.

Maybe he really dared to show up when Yanfei City was looking for guards.

He must be plotting something.

So it seems that the assassination of Emperor Yan in the previous life was planned by him most of the time.

Jiang Xunyan's appearance in Yanfei City was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Xia Qiulian.

If he appeared, besides an unsuccessful assassination, there were other purposes.

Then, what is his ultimate goal?

On a dilapidated attic at the corner of the street, a slender man holding a paper fan walked gently to the door of a room, and gently pushed the door open.

"Huh, you're here." A low, hoarse male voice sounded in the room, with a hint of mockery.

"I'm here." The man turned around and closed the door, and turned back with a smile. The gentle and jade-like Mr. Pianpian was wearing brocade clothes and had a handsome face, like a noble rich man. He gently shook the paper fan and sat calmly and calmly. Leaving the table in the room, he raised his eyes to look at the person opposite.

There was a bit of chill in those warm and dark eyes, and even the gentle smile on the corners of his lips was tainted with a bit of evil and bloodthirsty.
