The best ring

Before Wu Fan left, he explained about the flying pets in the sky. Compared with Yuan Long and even Du Dezhong, Wu Fan obviously trusted his pets more.

Of course, Wu Fan made this explanation not because he discovered something, but because of his caution. After all, he was not here during the night. For Zhao Qi's safety, he could not be too careful.

While Wu Fan and Zhao Qi were enjoying the warmth before parting, Yuan Long, the guard of Liuyun City, locked himself in the study. All the servants were dismissed by him, and he was the only one in the study.

Yuan Long stayed in the study, not reading a book, but reading a note, a note sent from the imperial capital by a flying messenger. As for the person who sent this secret letter to him, it was not the emperor, nor the ministers in the court, or the superior generals, but a woman, a woman from the Xiwang Mansion:

Xiwangfei!

Yuan Long knew Princess Xi and had met her before, but it was completely nonsense to say that he had a good relationship with her. He had never even spoken to her face to face. Therefore, when he received the letter from her, his first reaction was surprise and confusion.

Yuan Long didn't know why a person who was not familiar with him would write to him, and it was such a secret letter.

But after being surprised and confused, Yuan Long was full of joy!

Because the letter was not from someone else, but Princess Xi. This Princess Xi was not ordinary, whether it was the background of her husband's family or her natal family.

In fact, before, Yuan Long had also thought about getting in touch with Princess Xi, but he had no way. Every day, there were countless people who wanted to go to the Xi Palace to pay homage. Although Yuan Long was also a city garrison commander, he was not necessarily high in the entire Tianji Kingdom, especially Liuyun City was just a medium-sized city, not an important fortress, so his status was naturally impossible to be high.

Moreover, as the garrison commander of Liuyun City, Yuan Long needs to stay in Liuyun City on weekdays. Without the emperor's order, he cannot leave Liuyun City at will. Therefore, it is not easy to go to Xiwang Mansion.

And now, Xiwangfei actually took the initiative to write to him. How can he not be happy?

Therefore, Yuan Long opened the secret letter in a happy mood. However, after he read the contents of the letter, the happy expression on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by a face full of surprise and solemnity.

Xiwangfei wrote to him and said only one thing, or asked him to do only one thing:

Kill the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom!

If it was other things, Yuan Long would agree without thinking, but he hesitated and was even afraid of this matter, because this was not a trivial matter, and he might lose his head.

Yuan Long knew very well what the identity of the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom was and what kind of responsibility she had to come to their Tianji Kingdom.

If Yuan Long saw the princess of Yanfeng on the battlefield or in the imperial palace of Yanfeng, he would definitely not show mercy, because the relationship between the two countries was not very good. If they met on the battlefield, he would naturally not be polite.

But now, he did not meet the princess of Yanfeng on the battlefield, but in the city where he was stationed. Moreover, this princess of Yanfeng was not an ordinary princess. She came to their Tianji country with a mission.

Yuan Long knew very well that even if there were many generals in the army who were dissatisfied with the marriage between the court and Yanfeng, the emperor had already made a decision on this matter, so they could only accept it. Moreover, Yuan Long also knew the significance of this marriage to their Tianji country. If he killed the princess of Yanfeng and the matter was not exposed, it would be fine. If the matter was exposed, he would know what would happen to him.

Therefore, this matter is definitely not a simple matter, and it cannot be done with just a flick of the finger. It is not that this matter is difficult. People have entered the city and arrived at his territory. In Yuanlong's opinion, it is very simple to do this, but the consequences of this matter are not something he can bear.

But can he just reject Princess Xi?

Yuanlong was reluctant, but he dared not.

This is a great opportunity to get in touch with Princess Xi. If he does this well, he will definitely be appreciated and valued by Princess Xi. Princess Xi is just a woman, and she does not have much ability, but she is born well and married well.

Who doesn't know in the court of the entire Tianji Kingdom that Princess Xi has the final say in the Xi Palace? In front of this Princess Xi, Prince Xi was as obedient as a cat, and won the appreciation of Princess Xi, which means he won the Xi Palace and the appreciation of Prince Xi. Although Prince Xi is not the crown prince, he is also the second prince, and is also quite loved by His Majesty. Being able to gain the appreciation of Prince Xi will also make one's career smooth.

But for Yuanlong, the appreciation of King Xi is important, but more important is actually the background of Princess Xi's family. Princess Xi comes from a big family, and she is the legitimate daughter of the family, with an extraordinary status. Princess Xi's family not only has great prestige in the local area and in the court, but also in the army!

This is a military family!

Perhaps it is because of such a family that Princess Xi has such a strong character.

As a military general, Yuanlong knows too well the influence of Princess Xi's family in the army. It can be said that if he can get the support of Princess Xi's family, he Yuanlong is equivalent to finding the most stable and solid backer in the army, and future promotions will be too easy.

In fact, before, Yuan Long had taken the initiative to visit Princess Xi's family, but he did not have any extraordinary skills or a prominent family background, and therefore, he was not valued by Princess Xi's family at all.

And now, the opportunity is right in front of him!

As long as he can help Princess Xi do this, he can get in touch with her family through Princess Xi. Moreover, this matter is important. If he does it well, Princess Xi's family will certainly pay attention to him, and he will face a smooth road in the future.

So, he was reluctant to miss this opportunity.

In addition, in addition to reluctance, there is also fear.

He knew very well that if he rejected Princess Xi's request this time, Princess Xi would definitely hold a grudge against him. At that time, Princess Xi would say a few bad words about him at her family or in the ears of King Xi, and he would definitely be in trouble!

Yuan Long shuddered unconsciously whenever he thought of the consequences. He did not have a strong background in the army or the court, and his best relationship was with Du Dezhong. But he knew very well that Du Dezhong could not protect him in the face of Princess Xi's wrath.
