Jin Yan stepped forward upon seeing this and said, "City Lord, this person is indeed an old acquaintance of ours, please don't be offended."

Lian Xiang took a look at the soldiers behind Yuchuan. Each of them looked ferocious and fierce. He wondered how many battles they had gone through to have such a deterrent effect. He only lamented that he did not kill them all, otherwise the entire city lord's mansion would have been razed to the ground by this group of armored troops.

Lian Xiang immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Since we are all acquaintances, why don't you come into the mansion and have a chat?"

Yuchuan got off the horse and ruthlessly handed it to the city lord. The city lord signaled to the butler, who immediately took the horse reins.

"The Fu Hu Army is waiting here. This general wants to see how the city lord's mansion entertains guests." Yuchuan said deliberately.

She glanced coldly at Lian Xiang and walked in. Feng Hanyun lowered her eyes and looked at Jin Yan. Did this girl know that Yuchuan would come to rescue people?

Jin Yan patted Yuchuan on the shoulder and asked, "Why are you here?"

Seeing that Lian Xiang didn't catch up, Yuchuan whispered, "I originally planned to gather the Fuhu Army brothers and go back to Zitan Pavilion to look for you. I heard from Zitan Pavilion disciples that you two were here to control the flood. I stayed here for three days and didn't see you. Today, I happened to hear that you were taken to the City Lord's Mansion by the City Lord. That's why I brought people to look for you, fearing that something might happen to you."

Jin Yan chuckled and said, "What can possibly happen to us?" She thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that you can arrest Lian Xiang and bring him to justice, and it will also help you gain favor with the ruler of Nanyuan."

Yukawa frowned, "What do you mean?"

Seeing that everyone around her was from the City Lord's Mansion, Jin Yan couldn't explain in detail, so she said softly, "Just cooperate with me."

Jin Yan deliberately said loudly, "Since you are here to cooperate with this envoy to investigate the official's death case, then you should follow my arrangement and interrogate everyone in this city lord's mansion."

Yuchuan didn't understand, but he remembered what Jin Yan said about cooperation, so he bowed and said, "Yes, I will follow the envoy's arrangements."

Lian Xiang had just finished explaining something when he caught up and heard this. He was shocked and ran forward quickly, "Everyone, please stay."

After stopping several people, Lian Xiang saluted and said, "I didn't know that I was sent by the king, but I was negligent. The deaths of officials were all caused by me alone, and had nothing to do with the people in my mansion. Please take me back to the imperial city, and I am willing to bear any responsibility."

Jin Yan deliberately said, "City Lord Lian, why are you doing this? You are risking your life, but your prince is just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his labor."

Lian Xiang turned his face and refused to acknowledge him. "I don't understand what the envoy means. I have already pleaded guilty. Please arrest me and give an explanation to the family of the deceased official."

Jin Yan hissed, [How can this guy have two different faces inside and outside the secret room? No, I have to find a way to make him reveal Yu Jinghuai so that I can catch him in one fell swoop.]

Jin Yan deliberately asked, "General Yuchuan, I remember that you worked in Prince Yu's Mansion for a period of time. Do you remember if there was a person named Lian Yang?"

Yuchuan thought about it carefully and was about to say that he had never heard of it, but Jin Yan added, "Maybe he has become the young prince's confidant and may have been given a surname."

"Is the messenger talking about Yu Yang?" Yuchuan asked immediately.

Jin Yan nodded, "How is this person now? Is the prince treating him well?"

"He is not..." Yuchuan was about to tell about Yuyang's fate, but realized that Jin Yan did it on purpose. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that Yuyang is young and promising. This person is very powerful and is deeply loved by the young prince. However, if someone in Yuwang Mansion wants to be a confidant, he must first castrate himself to show his loyalty. It's a pity that Yuyang is so young that he can't do anything. He was also fed poison in the palace so that he would be loyal to the master. The messenger asked why this person is?"

Jin Yan glanced at Lian Xiang. When Lian Xiang heard that it was inhumane, he could no longer control his trembling hands and his eyes turned red.

His voice was so hoarse that it seemed as if the words were squeezed out from between his teeth. "General, do you have any basis for what you said?"

Yuchuan looked at Lianxiang, "Why do you think I left Prince Yu's Mansion? I don't want my brothers in the Fuhu Army to be controlled by others and become eunuchs. They are already unfilial to their parents because they can't be humane, and they are fed poison to show their loyalty. In a place like this, no matter how much money I am offered, I will..."

Lian Xiang felt his mind go blank, and he could no longer hear Yu Chuan's mocking words. Every word seemed to cut into his heart. Despair had already broken through his rationality. He whispered, "Enough..." No one heard what he said. He suddenly burst out with all his might, "I say enough!"

The surrounding spiritual energy almost blew several people away. Fortunately, Feng Hanyun and Shangguan Yi had been observing Lian Xiang's changes and blocked the two who were still "acting" in time. None of the four were affected by Lian Xiang's anger.

When Lian Xiang looked up again, his eyes were red and tears welled up in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and raised his eyes with murderous intent, "Gentlemen, I am willing to follow you into the imperial city to meet you. I only ask that you give me a chance to kill the enemy who harmed my son."

After getting the answer he wanted, Jin Yan smiled with satisfaction, "General Chuan, take the person away."

Yuchuan understood and immediately called the Fuhu Army to come and escort the man out of the City Lord's Mansion. Lian Xiang did not resist at all and let the Fuhu Army put shackles on him and send him to the carriage prepared by the City Lord's Mansion.

Shangguan Yi opened the folding fan in his hand and said, "Jin Yan, you really gave me a good show."

Jin Yan smiled and patted Shangguan Yi on the shoulder, "It's a good thing for you to know me."

Shangguan Yi smiled, "Okay, the show is over, I should take my people away, and say goodbye." Seeing that no one was paying attention, he whispered, "Take your people back first, and I will give you a gift later."

Jin Yan raised his eyebrows and was about to ask, but Shangguan Yi had already walked away.

Yuchuan came over and said, "Jin Yan, the carriage to leave the city is ready."

Jin Yan looked at Feng Hanyun, "Master, let's go."

Feng Hanyun nodded and stepped onto the carriage. Jin Yan followed closely behind him. Yuchuan led the team and set out from Linggao City into the Imperial City with great fanfare.

Linggao City is far away from the Imperial City, and it would probably take several days to travel by horse-drawn carriage. Fortunately, the Fuhu Army was well prepared. After leaving the city, they changed carriages and used the Ferghana horses gifted to the Fuhu Army, which doubled the speed.

With the escort of the Fu Hu Army, only Feng Hanyun and Jin Yan were left sitting in the carriage, and they had some free time. Jin Yan looked at the surrounding environment and found the scenery beautiful. The natural landscape was even more pleasant than in later generations.

Jin Yan sighed, "The scenery along the way is really nice."

Not hearing any response, she turned around and looked at Feng Hanyun. Feng Hanyun closed his eyes and rested, with no intention of answering at all. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jin Yan shut up obediently.

Feng Hanyun said, "Why don't you say anything? Sister~"

"Sister...Sister?" Jin Yan couldn't believe it. Were these words spoken from Feng Hanyun's mouth?

[Where is my cool goddess? What sister? What's going on? What's she doing? ]

Feng Hanyun slowly opened her eyes, lifted Jin Yan's chin with her fingers, and deliberately moved closer to Jin Yan, her tone full of seduction, "Sister, do you like this?"
