Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

Before Qingchen understood clearly, Yuli urged him to pack his luggage and get on the boat.

"Did something happen when you left in such a hurry?" Qingchen couldn't help but ask her as soon as he got on the boat.

Yuri couldn't explain anything to her, so she could only say: "Your Majesty's affairs have been taken care of, so we must rush back to Xiga Kingdom as soon as possible."

Returning to the room where he came, Qingchen just took the medicine that Youli gave him and sat on the bed.

I was still worried about the other side of Yueqing River, wondering whether they could escape from Boyue City.

She stayed in the room for a while, but didn't see Xingxue come in. She opened the door and walked out, only to find that the ship had not set off.

"Xingxue." Feeling uneasy, Qingchen walked towards the bow and found that their ship was surrounded.

Mu Yun was seen standing at the bow of the ship, surrounded by his people holding torches.

Is this guy planning to burn their ship?

Qingchen did not go out, but hid in the cabin door and looked outside.

He Lanyan's back was turned to her. She couldn't see He Lanyan's expression at this time, but his deep voice came through very clearly, "So, the eldest prince is not going to let me go?"

There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.

Qingchen frowned slightly, hearing this, could it be that Mu Yun really didn't want them to leave?

From her perspective, she could see Mu Yunchi's expression clearly. Under the light of the torch in his hands, he evoked a faint smile. It’s not here anymore.”

"I just received an urgent message and needed to go back to the Western Capital City to deal with some matters, so I left in a hurry. The eldest prince sent people to surround all my ships like this. It is difficult not to think that the eldest prince did not want to let me leave. .”

"I don't know what urgent matter caused the prince to leave overnight without even discussing the agreed deal?" Mu Yun's face darkened slightly.

Xiao Zuo, who was in Nishiga Country, still had a few days to go back to the Arctic Country, but at this time, he chose to leave the Northern Ice Country overnight.

This move really makes it difficult for people not to doubt his identity.

He Lanyan hummed: "There is plenty of time after the transaction, but my brother, the king, got seriously ill a few days ago and did not go to court for several days. If I don't rush back, I'm afraid that brother Wang will be taken advantage of by someone who wants to take advantage of it." take advantage of."

"..." Mu Yun paused after hearing this.

He hadn't thought that such a thing would happen.

But, are the things he said true?

He called his subordinates to the side and asked, "Have you ever heard about His Majesty Nishigoku's sudden illness?"

The subordinate shook his head, "Replying to the eldest prince, I have not heard about this news."

He Lanyan heard what the two of them said and said directly: "This is a matter of the royal family of Xihe King. Brother Wang is seriously ill. In order not to cause panic among the people, it is impossible to leak it."

"Then the prince informed me of this matter again?"

"The eldest prince and I have been allies, and I can trust the eldest prince." He Lanyan raised his lips and smiled, "If I can successfully succeed to the throne, I will definitely benefit from the eldest prince."

Mu Yun thought about this for a while, and then Bailitu on the other side said in his ear: "The eldest prince, no matter whether what he said is true or not, if the eldest prince insists on not letting them leave, it can be regarded as an enmity with Xihe Kingdom. . But what he said is true. We let them leave, and he will really succeed in the future. We can propose an alliance..."

Mu Yun snorted coldly, "Don't forget, He Lanyan of Xihe Kingdom married the Ninth Princess of Dongming Kingdom. The marriage with Dongming Kingdom is considered an alliance."

That's why he was so anxious to join forces with King Yan to help King Yan win the throne.

If he hadn't done that, I'm afraid that Helan Huayan would join forces with Dongming Kingdom to attack Beibing Kingdom in the future.

but……

If the person in front of him is really King Yan, and he is really as he said, then He Lanyan is seriously ill and is about to die, and he is anxious to go back and succeed to the throne...

That would be a favor to sell him, but...

"My lord, is there any letter that proves what you said is true?" Mu Yun suddenly asked him.

He Lanyan looked coldly and spread his hands, "First Prince, don't be ridiculous, you will destroy such confidential letters after reading them."

That is equivalent to saying something without proof.

Mu Yun stared at him with complicated eyes, as if he was pondering whether to believe him or not.

"Is there anything else the eldest prince has to do?" He Lanyan looked at him expressionlessly, "If it delays my return and causes me to miss this opportunity, I will not be the only one who suffers losses."

Mu Yun closed the folding fan in his hand and said, "Even if what the prince says is true, will it do any good to me?"

"The eldest prince shouldn't be at odds with Dongming Kingdom and Xihe Kingdom at the same time, right?" He Lanyan walked towards him and said softly: "After all, my brother married the ninth princess of Dongming Kingdom, so it was only a matter of time before he joined forces with Dongming Kingdom. Otherwise, why would the eldest prince be so anxious to trade with me?"

It has to be said that this matter directly touched Mu Yunchi's heart.

Mu Yun frowned, remained silent for a long time, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Your Majesty, it is best to remember your promise."

"That's natural. After all, I can't stand the face of the Dongming people. If I can really get the position I want, I will join hands with the eldest prince."

"This is the best." After Mu Yun got the promise he wanted, he nodded with satisfaction, "General Baili, close the team."

Upon hearing this, Bailitu winked at the men beside him, and a group of people were evacuating their ships.

After seeing everyone in Mu Yunchi leave, Jiang Ling and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Youli gave He Lanyan a thumbs up, "Your Majesty is getting better and better at deceiving people."

He Lanyan glanced at her and said, "Hurry up and leave, otherwise we will catch up with him when he comes back."

"Then we still have to take the water route?" Jiang Ling asked uneasily.

"It's better to take the water route. We will sail in two groups and drive day and night to return to Xihe Country in the shortest possible time." To avoid long nights and many dreams, I guess Helanxuan has already noticed it.

"Yes, I will tell you to go down immediately." Jiang Ling responded and turned around to do it.

"Princess."

Xingxue's voice sounded behind Qingchen, "Come here."

"What's wrong?" Qingchen followed Xingxue.

Xingxue's room is next door to Qingchen's for the convenience of serving Qingchen.

After she brought Qingchen to the door of her room, she glanced left and right to confirm that no one was there before opening the door, pulling Qingchen into the room and immediately closing the door.

"What's going on? What do you want to say to me?" Qingchen turned around and looked up to see the room full of people. She was startled and almost screamed.

She hurriedly covered her mouth, and then asked softly: "Why are you all here?"

What did she see?

General Li was lying on Xingxue's bed, and Yue Qinghe and Yue Qingli were standing in the small room.
