After Yan Shu and Jiang Ci left Zhai Mansion, Wu Ming appeared in front of them.

"Master, Prince Xiao is here, and the three brothers of the Yan family have also been invited."

Yan Shu looked slightly startled.

Which Prince Xiao?

Why invite the Yan brothers?Do they know each other?

Jiang Ci saw Yan Shu's confusion: "It's Mr. Xiao who was rescued by Ji Shitang. He is Xiao Yan, the eldest son of Prince Wuling."

Yan Shu's heart skipped a beat.

Young Master Xiao is Xiao Yan, the eldest son of Prince Wuling?

She remembered that when she was at Jishi Hall that day, she overheard the conversation between him and Huan Ying outside Jiang Ci's door.

They were talking about Princess Wuling at that time, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She thought it was okay for Jiang Ci to pay attention to the affairs of Prince Wuling's palace as the prince.

After all, there are 30 troops stationed in Nanyang Mansion. Among them, [-] Nanwang troops have been loyal to the Xiao family for generations, but there are only [-] serious Xiao family troops.

If Jiang Ci wants to gain momentum, King Wuling will become his key target.

But I never expected that Xiao Yan would appear in the small Furong Town...

Yan Shu suddenly thought of his third brother. In his previous life, Yan Huai had committed his life to Xiao Yan for revenge, and the gears of fate in this life tied them together again.

What should Xiao Yan do if he falls in love with his third brother?

Thinking of this, Yan Shu became extremely anxious.

"Where are they?"

Wu Ming pointed to a house not far away, with the word "Xiao Mansion" written on the plaque. It must be the private property that Xiao Yan purchased here.

"In that house."

"Uncle, let's go over and take a look."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Prince Xiao will not harm them."

Yan Shu secretly complained that his good cabbage was about to be eaten by pigs, so it would be strange not to worry.

-

After Qingyun heard the servant coming to report, he turned and walked towards the study.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Jiang and Miss Yan are asking to see you outside the mansion."

"please come in!"

"Yes!"

After Qingyun left, Yan Huai said: "Little sister and Erlang Xu are here to look for us. Brother Xiao, didn't you go back to Nanyang? Why are you here in Cangtong County again?"

Xiao Yan said: "I have official business to do here."

Yan Huai told Xiao Yan in detail what he encountered on the road.

"A large number of rats appeared on the way we came here. Many villagers were infected with the disease after eating rat meat. Although this disease does not spread as quickly as the plague, the mortality rate after illness is extremely high. You must be more careful. .”

Hearing Yan Huai's concern, Xiao Yan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will leave here tomorrow if things go well. There have been many rats in Cangtong County today, and it won't be long before the area becomes infested with rats. , you follow the fleeing team and walk slowly, so you should be more careful."

"Well, we'll be careful."

The door knocked.

Xiao Yan stepped forward and opened the study door himself.

A beautiful figure broke in first.

"Third brother, are you okay?" Yan Shu's eyes fell nervously on Yan Huai.

Yan Huai shook his head: "Little sister, my eldest and second brothers and I originally wanted to look for you, but we met Brother Xiao here."

Seeing that Yan Huai was intact, Yan Shu felt relieved.

Jiang Ci followed him into the study, nodded to Xiao Yan, but followed Yan Shu with his eyes.

He was a little confused. The little fox seemed worried that something would happen to Yan Huai.

She just heard that Xiao Yan and Yan Huai were alone in the study, and she was so frightened that she ran over.

Xiao Yan bowed politely to the two of them and said, "Mr. Jiang and Miss Yan, we meet again."

Only then did Yan Shu look at Xiao Yan. When he read the novel, he still sympathized with Xiao Yan. He could have been his own prince of Wuling in peace, but because of Yan Huai's rebellion, he died on the battlefield.

Although there is not much emphasis on his relationship with Yan Huai in the book, judging from what he did for Yan Huai, Yan Huai is not just his forbidden love.

Let's just rewrite what happened in the original book. In this life, she rewrote the outcome of the Yan family, hoping that the third brother could stay away from these disputes.

Yan Shu and Xiao Yan exchanged polite words, then hurriedly left the study with Yan Huai on the pretext that something had happened.

"Little sister, don't we have to wait for Erlang?" Yan Huai asked curiously.

My little sister usually cares about that boy Jiang Erlang the most. Why is she so concerned about him today?

"He and Mr. Xiao have something to talk about alone. Let's go out and wait for him first."

Xiao Yan stood in front of the window with his back turned, watching the two Yan brothers and sisters leave.

Jiang Ci sat at the tea table, his cold eyes a bit inquisitive.

"You seem to admire Brother Yan very much."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said in a calm tone: "People like you and me, who have struggled to survive in intrigues since childhood, if they encounter a beam of light in their lives, they will desperately want to catch it, just like His Highness the Seventh Prince versus Miss Yan."

A cold light flashed in Jiang Ci's deep eyes.

"It seems that Prince Xiao has been investigating my affairs since he returned."

Xiao Yan turned around and sat down opposite Jiang Ci. He brushed his sleeves and poured a cup of tea for the two of them himself.

"The killers from Tianji Pavilion have been secretly coming to Nanwei Mansion these years. It is said that no one has returned alive. The secret news came out in the palace two days ago. Now His Majesty has sent Su Ji, the lieutenant general of Yulin, to Nanwei Mansion to look for him. In addition, Your charm is very similar to that of the late Queen, and various signs have shown your Highness’s identity.”

No wonder Jiang Ci asked him to join forces. They were in similar situations and had a common enemy.

Over the years, Jiang Ci has been keeping a low profile and must have accumulated considerable strength. It would indeed be a good choice to join forces with him.

Jiang Ci smiled and lowered his eyes slightly, his thick long eyelashes hiding the expression under his eyes.

He played with the white jade tea cup in his hand.

"Now that we have reached an alliance, there is nothing to hide my identity from you. How has the matter of your mother and concubine been resolved?"

"The nun you sent here has already met my father. My mother and concubine were humiliated and died, and she was avenged. Although I don't know how sincere the old man is to my mother and concubine, she has been deceived by Xiao Qin for so many years. He was so furious that he sent Xiao Qin to Ling'an Temple to repent, and her good-for-nothing son also fell out of favor."

Jiang Ci took a sip of tea.

"The situation is developing in your favor. Xiao Ce's hidden danger must be resolved as soon as possible."

Xiao Yan heard the deep meaning in Jiang Ci's words, which told him to kill Xiao Ce with his own hands.

"It's not that easy. After all, Xiao Ce is the old man's biological son. As long as Xiao Ce doesn't seek death himself, the old man will not touch him."

"What if he isn't?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Jiang Ci chuckled: "Little Qin had a marriage before marrying into Prince Wuling's palace. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will quickly take root and sprout in their hearts. You only need to add a little fire to the side, and the relationship between father and son will How much love is left for you? By then you will find a way to get the Red Eagle Guard's military talisman, and the entire Wuling Prince's Palace will be in your possession."

Xiao Yan looked deeply at Jiang Ci.

As expected of the Feng family, even if they live among the people, they are still good at calculating people's hearts.

When you are in the company of such people, you admire them from the bottom of your heart, but you also have to be wary of them.

But now cooperation with Jiang Ci is the most beneficial choice for him. After the Feng family was eradicated, the old emperor's eyes were fixed on the Xiao family.

The Xiao family has been loyal to the family for generations. Unless it threatens the life and death of the clan, the Xiao family will not become the rebels.

But now the old emperor is pressing harder and harder, hinting several times that the Xiao family should hand over military power.

Humph, birds have their best bows, and if they hand over their military power, the Xiao family will end up dead.

Looking at it now, Jiang Ci may be a way out for the Xiao family.

"You're right, Xiao Ce can't stay any longer."

Jiang Ci asked: "Why did you appear in Cangtong County?"

When mentioning this matter, Xiao Yan talked about it.

"The grain and grass distributed by the capital was hijacked a month ago. The last time I appeared in Furong Town, it was because of the grain and grass. In the past few days, spies from the front sent back news that the person who hijacked the grain and grass had secretly transported the grain to Cang. Tongxian, he will probably be transferred to the Rongdi Army Camp next."

"Reliable news?"

"I arranged for people to keep an eye on this matter for a long time."
