Rebirth of Peach Blossom

Chapter 17: Chaos

There were many thoughts in my mind for a moment, why did Ah Ning ask such a question, did she see my feelings for her?Or do you suspect that I have a plan for this move?Or do you want to take advantage of this to express your heart?

But looking at Ah Ning's clear eyes, I couldn't help but think of the emptiness in her eyes when she jumped off the city wall, and the tumbling joy in her heart suddenly cooled down, "Xiao Shi is not a good man, but in the current situation, if you don't marry Give it to him, I can only marry you."

Cheng Wanning lowered her head slightly when she heard the words, unable to see her expression clearly, "Then you haven't thought about the future? If I develop feelings for you in the future and only find out that you are not a man, what should you do? What should I do?"

These words were a bit aggressive, Ye Ziyu didn't know how to answer, she opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak, and finally just said, "It's because I didn't think well..."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Wanning burst out laughing, "Xiao Yu is still so serious, I am teasing you, Xiao Yu doesn't need to apologize, not to mention that your appearance has indeed solved my biggest problem at present, I don't want to marry someone like the King of Shonan Rebellious ministers and thieves."

Ye Ziyu blurted out and asked, "Then what kind of person do you want to marry?"

Cheng Wanning was a little surprised, but she still thought about it for a while and answered seriously, "I want to marry a general who can fight in all directions and defend the country." After finishing speaking, she blushed slightly, and changed the subject uncomfortably, "Isn't it time to say At this time, why don't you come back directly? You are still the best candidate for the saint, why do you pretend to be a man and use the identity of a counselor?" After a pause, Cheng Wanning said in a serious tone, "And, are you really doing it for me? Is King Pingxi doing something?"

Ye Ziyu just wanted to answer, but heard a booming sound not far away, accompanied by the sound of water gurgling, someone is coming!

Ye Ziyu got up quickly, ignoring the injuries on his body, and carefully moved out with Cheng Wanning behind him. The footsteps were very chaotic. There were two or three people, who should be sent by Zhang Yixian to transfer Cheng Wanning.

At this moment, Ye Ziyu was a bit reluctant to face the last one, but now facing the last three... his heart was slightly raised, and a bloodthirsty light glowed in his eyes.

There were three people who came, and they saw the corpse on the bank at a glance, and immediately took precautions, Ye Zi tightened the broken sword in his hand, and was about to rush to attack when he was not prepared, but heard the sound of water coming out again , the sound of fighting was only three or two times, followed by a strange fragrance, and then there was no more sound.

He only heard a clear voice laughing, "Apprentice, come out, these miscellaneous martial arts are really not very good."

Hearing that Ye Ziyu was relieved and almost fell to the ground, she half leaned on Cheng Wanning and smiled, "It's my master."

The two came out, and Ye Ziyu looked at the three corpses on the ground, feeling a little weird, not so much that he was killed by Ye Feixiu, but in terms of death, it was more like being poisoned.

"Did they not resist much?"

Ye Feixiu frowned and looked at Ye Ziyu's embarrassed look, struggled for a while, and finally stretched out his hand reluctantly to help, "Well, the first reaction I made after seeing me was to take out a bottle, I thought It's poisonous smoke, kicking over one can't stop the other, not to mention, the smell is quite pungent."

Ye Ziyu let out a "tsk", and said to Ye Fei, "It seems that Zhang Yi is going to pretend to be innocent first, and these few are going to come and die here... The poison in their bodies is called heart-punishing, and it usually affects the body. It doesn't have any effect, but once you smell the 'Broken Soul Fragrance', you will die suddenly. And Zhuxin...is produced in southern Hunan."

Cheng Wanning looked disgusted, "So after a while someone should 'discover' that I'm locked up here and see these corpses, Grand Master Zhang will cry out that I was abducted by people from southern Hunan, Sneak into Zhang's mansion, throw me into Zhang's mansion, intending to frame and provoke the Zhang family and the royal family?"

Ye Ziyu nodded Cheng Wanning's nose, "very smart."

Ye Feixiu bent down reluctantly and carried Ye Ziyu on his back, "In that case, let's go ahead, otherwise we will be in trouble if Ziyu is found here."

Cheng Wanning nodded, and watched them leave, step by step away from the corpse on the ground, and squatted in the corner, with the back of her hand pressed against her reddish face, with complicated expressions in her eyes.

Ye Feixiu sent Ye Ziyu to the National Teacher's Mansion first. As soon as he lay on the bed, Ye Ziyu fell into a coma. When he woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. Xuanyuan Shenyue was taking his pulse next to him. Knowing what he wanted to ask the most, "She's already home, she's safe, she's just frightened."

Ye Ziyu struggled to sit up, "What about the emperor?"

"Naturally, Longyan was furious, but Grand Master Zhang shouted for injustice, saying that Xiangnan deliberately alienated people, and the body that died because of 'judging the heart' was obviously from the southern side of Hunan. I had to admit that I wronged the Zhang family. But there was another corpse at the scene, which was found to belong to the First Prince, and the First Prince also cried out for injustice, saying that this person must have been bought by Xiao Shi or sent to him as a secret agent... "

Ye Ziyu laughed softly when he heard the words, now, even if Xiao Ziyin is really innocent, in the eyes of the emperor, he still has a different heart.Otherwise, why would so many princes be sent by his side?Still want to appear at this juncture?And even if the Zhang family can't be moved now, in the heart of the emperor, the Zhang family must not stay.

Ye Feixiu walked in with the medicine in hand, "Xiao Ziyin was directly imprisoned for a month on the charge of 'lack of control', and he probably hated the Zhang family to death."

Ye Ziyu got up and put on his clothes, "The emperor should summon me, I'm going back home first." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but was blocked by Ye Feixiu, "Don't think that you can stop taking medicine if you can get away, drink it. Ye Ziyu and Ye Feixiu looked at each other for a while, finally pursed their lips, took the medicine bowl, drank it in one gulp, frowned slightly, and then acted nonchalantly, "Can I go?"

Ye Feixiu didn't collapse for a while, then bent over with a smile, "Why are you so happy?"

Ye Ziyu glared at him, and left without looking back.

Xuanyuan Shenyue shook her head, with a smile on her lips, "It's just a child..."

******

As soon as Ye Ziyu returned to the mansion, he saw the people sent by King Pingxi, with a dusty look, they should have just returned from Xiao Shi's side.

"Did you find out anything?"

"There is nothing unusual in the correspondence, but my subordinates heard... the voice of King Shu'an."

The King of Shu'an...is that the little vassal king who did not obey the order to lead the army to fight against the south of Hunan and instead became king on his own?

Ye Ziyu nodded, this person is not his subordinate, what he will report back will only be what King Pingxi wants Ye Ziyu to know. "what's your name?"

"Subordinate Yeyi."

Ye Ziyu nodded and stopped talking, but he didn't let Ye Yi back down. Looking at the peach blossoms outside, he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally turned around and said, "If I'm right, both the emperor and the king of Xiangan should compromise. It should be Princess Lingde who was sent to marry. You send someone to exterminate the soul to buy someone's life."

"Who's life?"

"Princess Lingde, Xiao Zinian."

******

Just as Ye Yi left, the summons from the palace came.In the study room, there was still only the emperor alone, bowing his head beside the dragon case, with a tired expression on his face, "I decided to send Lingde to marry. Would you like to escort him all the way?"

Although it was unexpected that the emperor didn't mention anything about the Zhang family, he still responded, "Caomin is willing."

The emperor waved his hand, "You don't need to call yourself like that anymore. I heard that Mr. Guimou is especially good at the art of war. You have been taught by his precepts and deeds, and you should be no less inferior. With this escort, how about I designate you as General Chifeng? This way at least You can be right with the Cheng family, otherwise, wouldn't it be condescension for the young lady of the Cheng family to marry you?"

Blazing Phoenix... Daxu has three armies, Yanlong, Chifeng and Hanhu. Due to the entanglement of Daxu's family, the emperor has always held the most important military power of the Yanlong army. The generals of the Yanlong army will never be selected from the family. People, but all the talents in the court come from aristocratic families. In the long run, the Yanlong army depends on General Yanlong's hard work to support it, and General Yanlong is now at the age of Ershun...

The military power of Hanhu is in the hands of the Cheng family. Marquis Zhongyi was also General Hanhu in his early years. The members of the aristocratic family are full of internal conflicts. Previously, Zhang Yuan came from the Zhang family and was Han Hu's deputy general. Now the general Han Hu is Cheng Yu's eldest son Cheng Changan.

Only Chifeng, although the military power is held in the hands of the emperor, has been idle for many years because there is no general who can control this army.Although there is no shortage of troops, they are rarely used.

The emperor's move is firstly to seek talents sincerely, the current Daxu is truly unbeatable, and secondly to win over and show favor, even if Ye Ziyu is really from Pingxi, as long as he is willing to serve Daxu, a high-ranking official, he can still give him .It's just that whether Chifeng can be taken down depends on Ye Ziyu's ability.

Ye Zi cupped his fists to express his gratitude, "Thanks to the emperor's respect for the grassroots, the grassroots should be dedicated to Daxu."

As soon as the words fell, the person on the dragon chair stood up, "It's just a matter of escorting the princess. I decided to send the seventh team of the secret group to serve you by your side. What do you think? Although the seventh team only has ten people, they are all A master, enough to protect your safety."

It seems that people above the throne are suspicious by nature...

Ye Ziyu said respectfully, "I have no objection, and I am willing to take it with me, but there are more important things that need to be done by manpower. If the emperor handed over the seventh team to the grassroots, I wonder if they can do it?"

"What's the matter?"

"Caomin suspects that King Pingxi has a secret relationship with the Zhang family, and wants the seventh team to secretly investigate Pingxi and the Zhang family."

The whole study room fell silent all of a sudden, and after a long time, Ye Ziyu heard the emperor's light word, "Okay."

At this moment, the little eunuch outside said softly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang asked to see me, she said it was a soup to relieve fatigue..."

Ye Ziyu smiled and said, "In that case, Cao Min will leave first." Seeing the emperor nodded, Ye Ziyu bowed his head and retreated out. When he arrived outside the hall, he saw Concubine Xiang coming in. Ye Ziyu noticed Concubine Xiang at a glance The swollen belly made me feel a little shocked. In my memory, Concubine Xiang didn't have any other children... It seems that many things have changed, but it's not so obvious now...

Wei Wei saluted Ye Ziyu and left.

******

Although Ah Ning is safe, Ye Ziyu can't forget the previous doubts. If it is really Xiao Shi who kidnapped Ah Ning and colluded with the Zhang family, then why should the world suspect that Ah Ning is not innocent?

Then, on the contrary, what if Xiao Shi is not the one who kidnapped Ah Ning?

If Ye Ziyu was a normal man and saw with his own eyes that Ah Ning was not innocent, he would naturally push back the marriage, or he would not treat Ah Ning kindly after marriage...

If this is the other party's goal, then the most likely person who kidnapped Ah Ning was King Pingxi.Since King Pingxi cooperated with the Zhang family, he would naturally not be willing to watch Ye Ziyu marry the young lady of the Cheng family.

Instead of killing Ah Ning directly, the reason is to prevent Ye Ziyu's deep-rooted affection for Cheng Wanning from being used as a threat.

King Pingxi really had a good plan.So Ye Ziyu made a plan and asked King Pingxi to send people around him to investigate King Xiangnan, making King Pingxi really think that he doubted the relationship between King Xiangan and the Zhang family...

Originally worried about the shortage of manpower, how to send people to investigate King Pingxi, but at this time, the emperor sent the seventh team, which was actually for the purpose of monitoring and protecting her in name.

Ye Ziyu yawned, thinking to herself, it's getting more and more interesting.
