Chapter 1407: The Envoy Beats Li Tongguang

Zhou Chen skillfully took the letter from the pigeon's feet, opened it and took a look, then handed it to Ren Ruyi.

"what?"

"News about your mother."

When Ren Ruyi heard this, he hurriedly took it. He frowned at first, but then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Thank you."

There was not much content in the letter. It just said that Liudaotang had sent someone to the countryside to take over as Ruyi's adoptive mother, but her adoptive mother was not very cooperative and was unwilling to leave with them, so she was attacked by Zhuyiwei's people. Fortunately, Zhou Chen arranged for someone to protect her secretly, so that Zhuyiwei's people returned empty-handed.

Now, her stepmother Ouyang has been rescued by people arranged by Zhou Chen and brought to Wudu, living in the small courtyard where Zhou Chen lived before.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "With a relationship like ours, there's no need to thank me. There's one more thing, about Empress Zhaojie."

Ren Ruyi immediately asked anxiously: "Have you found the murderer who killed the queen?"

"There's no need to check. You already have a guess in your mind, but you just don't want to believe it and want to find more definite evidence, right?"

Ren Ruyi remained silent. How could she not guess that Empress Zhaojie was the Empress of Anguo, the supreme Empress of Anguo. Who could kill the Empress of a country?
But speculation is speculation, she still needs definite evidence, and she also wants to know why Queen Zhaojie died, and then she will avenge Queen Zhaojie.

"But don't worry. When we get to Anguo, I will have Lao Ning give you all the results of the investigation into Empress Zhaojie. If you want revenge, I will accompany you."

"Aren't you afraid?" Ren Ruyi asked.

"afraid?"

Zhou Chen smiled. He didn't know how many years it had been since this word appeared in his dictionary.

"More than anything else, what scares me is that you might be in danger."

The delegation stayed in Jingcheng for several days and then headed to its next destination, Hexian County.

The place of He County is also very important in the plot. Many major events have happened here. In the future, when Beipan invades the Central Plains, it will have a decisive battle with the two countries of Anwu here.

After arriving at Hexian Posthouse, Ren Ruyi decided to go to Qingfeng Temple immediately because she had already contacted Zhuyiwei and set a meeting time. She knew Zhuyiwei's habits and knew that they would most likely arrive early, so she also planned to investigate in advance and catch the other party off guard.

Zhou Chen said that he would go with her. Ren Ruyi originally disagreed, but Zhou Chen said that he would just follow her secretly and would not show up unless she called him.

Seeing Zhou Chen's insistence, Ren Ruyi agreed, and the two of them set out from the inn and headed straight for Qingfeng Temple.

Just as Ren Ruyi said, the people of Zhuyiwei did arrive first. They intended to plot against Ren Ruyi, but they didn't know that Ren Ruyi knew them very well. Instead, they were counter-plotted by Ren Ruyi and killed one of them first. When the reinforcements of Zhuyiwei arrived and surrounded her, Zhou Chen appeared from the dark to help, and the two of them joined forces to defeat Zhuyiwei.

Although he did not get accurate information, Ren Ruyi also learned important intelligence from them and determined a range.

When Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi returned to the mission, they found that the Hexian Posthouse was in chaos and many places had been burned down.

When they met Yu Shisan and the others, they learned that not long after they left yesterday, Yang Ying's lover Zheng Qingyun came to the inn and secretly met with Yang Ying.

But because Ning Yuanzhou was still in the delegation, Zheng Qingyun did not cause any trouble. Also, with Zhou Chen's reminder before he left, everyone in the delegation was on guard.

At night, a large group of people suddenly attacked the post station, but the guards of the delegation who had been prepared tried their best to protect the post station. Although the post station looked miserable, most of the bodies were of the attackers, and there were very few casualties in the delegation.

However, Zheng Qingyun took Yang Ying away in the chaos. At this time, Ning Yuanzhou was leading people to chase him, and he has not returned yet.

"It's normal for her to be cheated by a man at her age."

Yu Shisan showed pity on his face, and then angrily cursed: "That guard Zheng Qingyun, how dare he do such a thing? He can do such a thing to such a delicate young lady like Your Highness. He is really not a man."

Thinking of how the princess had resisted them for Zheng Qingyun, Yu Shisan and the others felt very uncomfortable, because they all had the same idea that Zheng Qingyun had bad intentions, otherwise how could he run all the way from Wudu to Hexian.

Although the whereabouts of their delegation were not top secret, it was definitely not something that a mere palace guard could know.

It was not until the afternoon that Ning Yuanzhou and Yuan Lu brought Yang Ying back. However, Yang Ying was in a very bad condition and hid in the room after returning.

"Ren Ruyi, please go and see His Highness." Ning Yuanzhou asked Ren Ruyi.

All the people here are men, only Ren Ruyi is a woman, who can communicate better with Yang Ying.

Ren Ruyi didn't say anything and walked straight into Yang Ying's room. When he didn't see Zheng Qingyun coming back, everyone naturally knew the reason.

Ning Yuanzhou explained the situation to Zhou Chen and others with a very bad look. Zheng Qingyun wanted to do something bad to Yang Ying. Fortunately, they arrived in time, rescued Yang Ying, and exposed Zheng Qingyun's conspiracy.

He did not say much about the specific process, but only told the result. In the end, Zheng Qingyun was killed by Yang Ying himself.

Yu Shisan sighed, "Your Highness, you look so delicate, but you are forced to kill the man you love. This is the most painful thing in the world."

Qian Zhao asked worriedly, "Is your Highness okay?"

Yuanlu was equally worried: "When Her Highness came back, she didn't say anything. I hope Sister Ruyi can comfort her."

Zhou Chen was not worried at all: "Don't think of her as so fragile. Her progress along the way is obvious to all. This incident was indeed a big blow to her, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. At least it made her realize her current situation and recognize human nature. Isn't this how people grow?"

"That being said, Your Highness is still young after all."

Ning Yuanzhou and his companions were so worried that they were distracted even while eating.

Another day passed, and Ren Ruyi's persuasion had no effect for the time being. Instead, Yang Ying became ill due to excessive sadness and had been in a coma ever since.

When An Guo learned that Yang Ying was ill, he specially arranged for someone to visit him. The person was the Envoy of Introduction and the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, who were personally appointed by Emperor An. The Envoy of Introduction was Li Tongguang, the current Marquis of Changqing of An Guo.

When Yu Shisan came over to explain the situation, everyone understood that An Guo had come with bad intentions, but the Envoy for Introducing the Emperor was at the same level as the Envoy for Welcoming the Emperor Yang Ying. Whether it was Du Changshi or Ning Yuanzhou and others, they were all of a lower level, so the Envoy for Welcoming the Emperor Yang Ying had to come forward.

Originally, Wu State was in a passive position in order to welcome back Emperor Wu. If they refused to meet, they would undoubtedly lose face and would also give An State an excuse to make things difficult for them.

But the problem is that Yang Ying is still in a coma. Even if she is forcibly awakened, she cannot be seen in public and will definitely reveal her flaws.

In the end, Ren Ruyi came up with an idea on the spur of the moment, and Ning Yuanzhou and the others thought it was feasible, so they started to implement it.

After a confrontation, Ning Yuanzhou and his companions, Li Tongguang and others, came to the door of Yang Ying's bedroom. They walked into the room only after hearing a "come in".

But after they came in, they did not see Yang Ying, but saw Zhou Chen first.

"Are you the King of Li?"

Li Tongguang and others from Anguo were all confused when they saw Zhou Chen, because Zhou Chen's image was completely different from the image of the King of Gifts they had received.

Zhou Chen said calmly: "I am the attendant of His Royal Highness Prince Li. His Royal Highness Prince Li is still in a coma. If you want to pay your respects to him, you can do so here."

But how could the people of An agree? Just as they were arguing, Ren Ruyi, dressed in luxurious palace clothes and with a graceful posture, slowly walked out from behind the screen.

"Who are you?"

"Princess Huyang of Dawu has been ordered to serve as a female historian to accompany the prince and send gifts to his brother."

Ren Ruyi's dignified and graceful demeanor, as well as her cold and aloof demeanor, really stunned the people of An Guo. Even Du Changshi, who came with him, looked stunned. He seemed to be pretending.

Zhou Chen cooperated very well and shouted coldly: "Why don't you come to see the princess?"

The Anguo officials who came in all looked at Li Tongguang, but Li Tongguang was completely stunned at this time. With a cold and arrogant look on his face, he looked stupidly at Ren Ruyi in front of him.

"Master?"

The word "Master" stunned everyone in the room except Zhou Chen, even Ren Ruyi was no exception.

Ren Ruyi remembered Li Tongguang, but only the Li Tongguang of six years ago. Over the years, Li Tongguang had changed a lot. When they first met, she didn't recognize him at all. So when she heard it, she was also very surprised, but she didn't show anything on her face.

Li Tongguang was so excited that he took a step forward and said anxiously, "Master, I am Jiu'er, don't you recognize me?"

Ren Ruyi did not respond, but walked behind Zhou Chen and deliberately asked in a low voice: "What did he say, who is Jiu'er?"

Zhou Chen naturally knew it well and knew the master-disciple relationship between Li Tongguang and Ren Ruyi, but when he thought of Li Tongguang's behavior, his eyes became very sharp.

He had already been honest with Ren Ruyi and treated her as his own woman. Naturally, he was very unhappy with those who coveted his woman, even if they were his apprentice.

"It's me, Jiu'er, Master, you..."

"Shut up, there is no master of yours here, this is my enlightened Princess Huyang."

But Li Tongguang only had Ren Ruyi in his eyes. He completely ignored Zhou Chen's words and explained anxiously: "Master, I am now the Marquis of Changqing. The emperor has also given me the surname of the emperor. Jiu'er is no longer a child without a surname."

He pulled the follower behind him and said, "Master, this is the follower you appointed to me back then, Zhu Yin, don't you remember him?"

Zhou Chen took a step forward and stood in front of Ren Ruyi. Li Tongguang's gaze really made him unhappy.

This action of his angered Li Tongguang, who stepped forward and shouted, "Get out of the way."

After saying that, he attacked Zhou Chen regardless of the occasion.

This made Zhou Chen very happy. He was worried that he would not have the chance to teach this guy a lesson, but this guy just came to him.

So a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly attacked Li Tongguang who was attacking him. Although Li Tongguang's martial arts were good, they were not good enough in front of Zhou Chen.

With just one move, Zhou Chen slapped him on the chest, knocking him back several steps.

Coldly staring at Li Tongguang, who was holding his chest with a look of pain on his face, Zhou Chen snorted: "If you dare to be presumptuous again, next time it won't be such a light palm."

The Anguo officials who came with him all tried to persuade him, but Li Tongguang had completely lost his mind. He shouted again, trying to wake up Ren Ruyi, but he was blocked by Zhou Chen. He could not see Ren Ruyi at all and was very angry.

"Master, I am really Jiu'er. I carry the Tianyun Iron Blue Cloud Sword you gave me every day. I have never let it go for a single day. Look."

"I say again, stand down."

But how could the insane Li Tongguang retreat? All he wanted now was to quickly get rid of Zhou Chen, the troublemaker, and then reminisce about the past with his master.

So he wanted to draw out the Qingyun Sword suddenly, but Zhou Chen had been on guard against him. Before he could draw out the sword, he had already held down his sword-holding hand. Then, with a powerful force burst out, he pressed the sword back abruptly, and then kicked out, kicking Li Tongguang out.

"puff!"

Li Tongguang fell outside the door, spitting out a mouthful of blood, staring at Zhou Chen with red eyes.

The Anguo official who came with them was also shocked. He went over with Zhu Yin to help Li Tongguang up, and then yelled at Zhou Chen and others in frustration.

"How dare you! Marquis Changqing is the envoy who brought us here. How dare you do such a cruel thing to me? I will report this to His Majesty when I return."

Du Changshi was worried, but Ning Yuanzhou didn't buy it at all. Instead, he said coldly, "It was your Changqing Marquis who wanted to disrespect Princess Huyang. Even if it comes to the Emperor An, our Dawu is in the right."

Li Tongguang didn't care about that. Regardless of his injuries, he rushed into the house again. This time he calmed down a little and did not rush towards Zhou Chen again.

"Master, you really don't recognize Jiu'er?"

Ren Ruyi said expressionlessly: "I don't know you, and I'm not your master. You've got the wrong person."

The cold words made Li Tongguang calm down completely. After saying a few polite words, he was ready to turn around and leave.

But just as he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Chen in a cold voice: "What's your name and who you are?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said slowly: "Zhou Chen, as for your identity, I am the horseman of Princess Huyang."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Tongguang's expression changed drastically. The fingers holding the sword turned white. He stared at Zhou Chen for a long time before turning and leaving.

Ning Yuanzhou looked back and forth between Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi: "Old Zhou, you have offended the Marquis Changqing to death."

"We are not the same kind of people to begin with, so I'll just offend him to death. It's his fault that he made me so upset."

No matter what kind of person Li Tongguang is in the TV series, just because he covets his woman, they can never be the same kind of people.

Ning Yuanzhou thought for a moment and said, "Miss Ruyi, I don't know what your relationship with that Marquis Changqing is, but I hope you..."

Before he could finish, Ren Ruyi interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, I won't destroy our cooperation. My current identity is the Princess of Dawu Huyang, and I have nothing to do with him."

"That's good."

After Ning Yuanzhou left, only Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi were left.

Seeing that Ren Ruyi was absent-minded, Zhou Chen walked over to her and held her hand.

"Still thinking about your apprentice? You won't blame me for teaching him a lesson just now, will you?"

Ren Ruyi shook his head and said, "No, I was just surprised. I didn't expect to meet him here, and I didn't expect that he was actually the Marquis of Changqing. No wonder Mei Niang hesitated when she mentioned the Marquis of Changqing before. It seems that she knew it a long time ago."

"But even though he left today, he will definitely not let me go. He will definitely find ways to prove my identity. Although I am not worried, with his current identity, it will be troublesome if he causes trouble for the delegation."

Zhou Chen held her hand tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry. If he dares to mess around, I will beat him up for you. After all, he is your apprentice, so I am his master's father-in-law. It is only natural for a master's father-in-law to beat his apprentice."
