The boat was docked, and the two of them had not yet walked far when they saw a group of people running quickly towards this.

"If it were not expected, these people should have come to me." Qingyan sighed.

When the other party reached five feet away, the leader turned over and got off the horse and knelt in front of Qingyan, "The villain kowtowed to the prince!"

"No need to be polite, just tell me what to do."

"Thank you, Prince!" The man stood up and said respectfully: "Report to the prince, Your Majesty has an order to announce that you will enter the palace to discuss matters quickly."

Qingyan said in a deep voice: "I know, and when I send the princess back to the prince's mansion, I will enter the palace."

"But your Majesty is very..."

"I don't want to repeat it again."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten guards of the royal palace flew out of the surrounding woods and stopped him in front of the other party's troops.

Yang Qiong said in a deep voice: "The prince said he would go back home first. If you obstruct me, you will ask the horizontal knife in Yang's hand."

"Yang Qiong, there is no need to do this. Let's hurry up and go back home. Don't let Your Majesty wait too long."

He led Dong Zhao over and rode on Mo Xue, then slapped the horse and left. Yang Qiong made a gesture, and everyone retreated into the forest and followed closely behind.

Only leave the other party in place, at a loss.

"If it is not surprising, the other party should be the disguised Jinwuwei. Is it wrong for you to do this?" Dong Zhao was a little worried.

"It would be fine if I had you, but now that I don't want to send you back to the palace safely, I have no intention of doing anything." Qing Yan hugged Dong Zhao's soft waist with one arm, which looked like a thin willow, and his tone was not concerned.

While Dong Zhao was happy, he still couldn't let it go. "In the past, Eunuch Liu came to pass the imperial edict in person. I think you were not in the mansion, so he spread the Jinwu Guard to find you. When you have the opportunity to meet Commander Li, you should explain it carefully and don't hurt the harmony because of this."

"Although Commander Li is taciturn, he is also a person with temperament. He will understand me, don't worry."

When he returned to the palace, he saw Eunuch Liu wandering around in the front hall. When he saw Qingyan, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the other party's arm: "Prince, where are you playing with the princess? You are so anxious to death."

"Don't blame me, father-in-law, we were temporarily determined to go to Xuanwu Lake to raft. The prince's mansion didn't know about it, so I've been waiting for you for a long time." Qing Yan explained with a smile.

"We are old friendships, and the Za Family doesn't care about the false gifts. Prince, please follow the Za Family to enter the palace. Your Majesty is furious now." Eunuch Liu just nodded to Dong Zhao, and then hurriedly pulled Qingyan out.

"Zhao'er, if you have nothing to do, just chat with your grandmother. I will come back to accompany you after I finish my work." Qingyan looked back and shouted.

"Be careful on the way, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner tonight."

It was still in the familiar exaggerated carriage. Qingyan asked straight to the point: "I wonder why Your Majesty is furious. Can you speak frankly?"

"The Za Family really doesn't know this time. When I was serving Your Majesty this morning, I saw His Majesty holding a secret letter in his hand. Then I don't know how many porcelain and antiques I smashed. No matter how the Za Family persuaded me, it would be useless." Eunuch Liu sighed repeatedly.

"Oh? Even my father-in-law didn't know it. It seemed that this was extraordinary."

"What the prince said is so true. After his majesty's anger gradually faded, he ordered the majestic family to call the prince into the palace to discuss matters. More than two hours have passed. I wonder if His majesty has calmed down his anger. If this is anger, what should I do?"

When I quickly walked to the Qilin Palace, I saw the Ling Emperor standing in front of a tall bronze bird and meditating without saying a word.

"I bow to your Majesty."

"I'm flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Eunuch Liu, give him a seat."

After the two sat down, Qingyan asked, "I wonder what instructions did Your Majesty have to call me to come?"

"You look at this letter first." Eunuch Liu took the secret letter and handed it to Qingyan.

It seems that this letter is indeed the source of the anger of Emperor Ling. Qing Yan then looked carefully and saw that a needle fell from the Qilin Palace could be heard.

After slowly writing the secret letter, Qingyan sighed heavily, "I dare to ask Your Majesty if the contents of the letter are reliable?"

"I know that this matter is very serious. It is normal for me to have doubts about the letter, but this letter is written by the prefect of Wujun, so it will not be wrong."

Qing Yan pondered for a moment and murmured: "In other words, five days ago, the admiral of the Southern Zhao naval army, Zhuge Youlin, was seriously injured by the assassin. Now his life is in danger. The 50,000 naval army is now without a leader... Your Majesty, I wonder if Zhuge Pingzhang knows this?"

Emperor Ling shook his head slowly, "I am afraid that he will be ill after he knows it. If Zhuge Youlin is seriously injured and unable to cure him, Ping Zhang will go again. I, Nan Zhao, can't afford this huge loss at all."

"Then Your Majesty summoned me to come, but for this?"

"Although the 50,000 naval forces cannot decide the ownership of the world, they can guarantee the East China Sea channel and the Huaihe River defense line. There must be no mistakes. I am going to let my beloved minister go to Wujun to stabilize the naval forces, and also find out who and what forces are trying to murder Zhuge Youlin. The most important thing is to try our best to ensure Zhuge Youlin's life."

Qing Yan recalled Su Ju’s advice two months ago and said tentatively: “Your Majesty, although I am a little familiar with land wars, I know nothing about the matters of the naval army. If I miss the major affairs of the court, I am afraid that my Majesty will disappoint you.”

"It's okay, my dear, you can appoint the navy general as a temporary admiral at your discretion, as long as the navy is not allowed to cause chaos. This action will not only obey you in Wujun, but Jinling will do its best to cooperate with your actions." Emperor Ling waved his hand and blocked Qingyan's retreat.

"Since that's the case, I want to draw some soldiers from the Tiger Guard Camp to go with me. I wonder if Your Majesty can agree?" Qing Yan also wanted to fight for it.

"It's okay, I promise you to lead two hundred tiger guards to Wujun. If necessary, my dear friend can send him back with a letter, and I will send someone to support you."

Seeing that Emperor Ling was so generous, Qingyan couldn't make any excuses, so he stood up and said, "Then I will go back and prepare and go to Wujun as soon as possible."

"I have asked the Imperial Hospital to pick out several imperial doctors with excellent medical skills and excellent medicinal materials to go on the road ahead of time. It should be almost time to Wujun."

At this time, Qingyan remembered Zhuge Muyun's hot drink on his wedding day and learned about his temperament after contacting the past. He couldn't help but sigh: "If Lord Pingzhang knew about this, I hope Your Majesty will tell him that Qingyan will try his best to save Brother Youlin's life."

---------------------------(I'm a dividing line)

After returning to the royal palace, Qingyan told Dong Zhao about this and came to Yuetang Academy without stopping.

"Sir, I really let you talk." Qing Yan shook his head and sighed.

"I didn't expect that Zhuge Youlin would be assassinated whenever he stayed away from the court. It was really troublesome." Su Ju shook the palm-leaf fan and sighed.

"See sir, I don't seem to mind that I should do this?"

"What if you don't mind? You dare to disobey your order." Su Ji smiled and said, "But it's okay to go to Wujun this time, it's not considered leading troops to fight."

Strictly speaking, this time was considered as an imperial envoy to investigate Zhuge Youlin's attack, and it also required to stabilize the East China Sea Navy, which was different from the previous Yuezhou suppression of rebellion and fighting against Nanyi.

"The students originally said that they did not understand the matters of the water army and were summoning the soldiers of the Tiger Guards. However, his Majesty was unmoved at all. Not only did he allow the two hundred Tiger Guards who were accompanying him. If the people were tight in their hands, they could still transfer troops. This way, it would be difficult for the students to refuse." Qingyan filled the wine for the other party.

"Although Zhuge Youlin is not good at land battles, his ability on the water is unparalleled. In addition, the waterways in South Zhao are crisscrossing. If they really die like this, not only will the Huaihe River defense line be tight, but the East China Sea bandits may be rekindled." Su Ju picked up the wine glass and drank it all over, and sighed: "What's more, Zhuge Muyun."

"There is no other meaning to come this time. I just want to inform you before leaving so that you can rest assured."

"Only when you return safely can you really reassure Su, otherwise you will be able to see Xuan Ce and Xijun again."

One hour later, outside the Chaoyang Gate of Jinling.

Under the leadership of Shi Zhan, the two hundred tiger guards had already assembled beside the moat. They were all riding tall horses, but they did not have a handful of spears.

"Prince, there are 200 people in total this time, and you can set off at any time."

"Let your brothers not be too nervous. This time, the job is not as relaxed as Zhennan Pass." Qingyan felt the murderous aura emitted from the warriors of the Tiger Guard. When they thought they were going to fight to kill the enemy, they smiled helplessly and said in a deep voice: "Set out."

---------------------------(I'm a dividing line)

Wujun is close to Jinling, the east and south rely on the East Sea, the Qiantang River in the north and Taihu Lake in the west. It can be said to be surrounded by water on all sides. It is also a famous fish and rice town and a granary in the south of the Yangtze River.

Baoming City, fifty miles southwest of the navy's headquarters, Wu County Prefect Feng Xin left the county seat and came to Baoming six days ago. He has been in a state of turmoil these days and is anxiously waiting for the imperial envoy in the court.

"Sir, the king led two hundred cavalry to Baoming."

"It turned out to be the prince who was standing side by side? Get a gathering of officials and welcome the marquis outside the government office!"

When Qingyan came to the front of Baoming Prefecture, he saw most of the officials from Wu County lined up in two teams to greet him.

"The prefect of Wu County Feng Xin, the prefect of Wu County, bowed to the prince." Feng Xin led the way, and everyone fell to the ground.

"No need to be polite. Lord Feng quickly bring me to see Admiral Zhuge."

"The Admiral is in the government office at this time. Please follow the officials." Feng Xin bowed forward and led the way.

Qingyan ordered as he walked: "Shi Zhan, lead people to take over the defense of the government office. Idle people are not allowed to get within five feet of the time. If you encounter suspicious people, you will be allowed to do things at a cheap price!"

"Receive the order!" Shi Zhan quickly deployed two hundred Tiger Guard warriors, acted vigorously and vigorously, and had already hidden the spirit of a general.

When they arrived at a backyard of the government office, dozens of yamen runners held steel knives and surrounded them. Without any hesitation, everyone fell to the ground and Qingyan quickly entered the yard.

When Qingyan saw Zhuge Youlin himself, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I had known before that when he was in his thirties, he saw the real person and found that the other party was not as tall as he imagined, with a figure similar to his own, a face with a Chinese character, and a skin that was tanned because he had been in charge of the navy for many years.

"Mr. Feng, has the Admiral been in such a coma? Have you ever woken up in the middle?"

"Report to the prince, since the day he was injured, he has been unconscious and has not opened his eyes."

Qing Yan winked at the other party when he heard this. The other party understood and then waved everyone away.

"Tell me all the details you know by Lord Feng, and don't leave a single trace of it."

"The official understands that this is the case, seven days ago..."

Seven days ago, it happened to be the first day of the lunar calendar. Although Zhuge Youlin did not marry due to busy official duties, he would return to Baolin City to rest for a day on the first day of the lunar calendar. That night, Zhuge Youlin was assassinated when he was three miles east of Baolin City. All the four guards who accompanied him died.

Zhuge Youlin was wounded by more than ten swords and fled to the city of Baolin. Fortunately, the marquis of the Gate found that he was lying not far outside the city gate, otherwise he would have died of blood loss.

"In other words, no one saw the admiral being attacked. I don't know how many assassins were, but they just found four guard bodies at the scene, right?"

"What the prince said is very true. In the past few days, the officials tried their best to investigate, but they found nothing and were betrayed the emperor."
