Seeing that something was not going well, Yun Piao threw the sword in his hand and slashed him on the neck without thinking. When the blood spurted out, countless city guards swung their swords at him. He wanted to resist, but he had no weapon. Able to raise arms to block.

When he saw the sword falling, the only thought in his mind was: It's great that His Highness finally blocked their steps.

At the critical moment, I saw a dark red streak in the air, and an arrow with a red tassel on its tail appeared across the sky and shot through the neck of the injured person. The dangerous blade penetrated three-thirds of the flesh and got stuck in the clouds. He hit his left arm half an inch away, but failed to kill him.

Han Qing noticed that Rong Yan had stopped. He was looking straight at the people and horses approaching quickly on the street.

If you look carefully, you will find that in addition to the person Han Qing saw, there were dozens of people behind him who were also approaching quickly. No, it should be said to be "her".

The sassy woman wearing men's clothing had her long hair standing high and held a long bow in her hand. She drove her horse to stop in front of Rong Yan. With a gesture, the people behind her overturned the city guards and saw Rong Yan and the others clearly. She looked like she was frowning: "Why did it happen like this?"

Rong Yan pursed her lips tightly. She wanted to salute but was stopped by the visitor: "You are so virtuous, why should you care about etiquette? You are pedantic!"

Rong Yan didn't insist and just shouted: "Aunt Xiao."

Then he pulled Han Qing to him: "Auntie, take us into the palace! I have something important to report to my father."

Han Qing wiped the blood from his face: "Who is this?"

The person who came stepped on the head of the city guard deputy general who was being carried by his men, and his movements were quite uninhibited: "It's easy to say, I'm Xiao Ran."

Han Qing's eyes widened: "The heroine general, General Xiao?"

Xiao Ran just smiled, and then, one by one, he threw the two of them, together with Yun'er who was about to faint, onto the cart on the roadside: "We were chatting on the way, let's go to the palace." He also reminded: "I bought the cart, this is One of the stall owners remembered to go to the General's Mansion to settle the bill. He was in a hurry and didn't bring any money."

It took Han Qing a while to wake up from the pain all over his body: "You actually know General Xiao? I told you that General Xiao would take over, why should we run away?"

Rong Yan was also surprised: "Aunt Xiao saw the fireworks coming?" Isn't it too fast?

Xiao Ran held a piece of grass in her mouth, patted the horse's neck and moved closer to the cart, then threw a letter to Rong Yan, which read: The third highness is in trouble, the city gate will respond.

She asked: "Didn't you ask someone to send it to you?"

Rong Yan shook his head: "I have all my people around me, and there is Yunwu. I'm afraid..."

Xiao Ran has sent people to look for him, but after such a long time, he may be in danger.

This is strange, everyone is here, who could have sent this letter?

Rong Yan sighed: "Aren't you afraid of being a liar?"

Xiao Ran threw the grass path away: "It's just a trip to the left and right. If you're wrong, just treat it as exercise. If you're right, it can save your life. It's not a loss."

As for dropping everything in his hands and running away to meet her when he saw the letter, there is no need to tell the child about this.

"Tell me first what happened. Didn't you go on a patrol in Jiangnan? It shouldn't be a small thing to make a child like you, who has no desires and desires, work hard."

Rong Yan nodded and briefly told what Yan Lu had done. Han Qing found that the more he talked, the quieter the atmosphere became. When he looked up, he saw the cold-faced General Xiao expressionless, which reminded people of the all-powerful General Xiao back then. Those rumors.

"Strict rules, right? Don't worry, if I don't care about this, I'll kill him."

Then he added: "I say cut the strict rules."

Han Qing: Otherwise?

...The rumors did not say that General Xiao was so aggressive...

With Xiao Ran escorting him, Rong Yan successfully entered the palace and met the emperor.

After hearing the whole story, His Majesty the Emperor, who was in his prime, immediately smashed the inkstone and said: "Xuan Dali Temple Minister, in addition, I have the third prince as the imperial envoy to lead the imperial army to capture Yan Lu for me."

Xiao Ran coughed lightly. The emperor glanced at her and said, "General Xiao will accompany you."

Xiao Ran took a step forward and knelt down. The emperor waved his hand: "No courtesy." She quickly stood up straight and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I accept the order."

Han Qing glanced at her with regret. This female general who once frightened the barbarians on the frontier now had trouble walking. The abnormal bend of her right leg reminded everyone who saw what she had suffered in the last battle.

Rong Yan turned sideways to block his sight, and also saluted respectfully: "My son, I obey." Han Qing felt that he had been offended and hurriedly lowered his head.

The latter wanted to stay and listen to the emperor ask for details, so Rong Yan and Xiao Ran walked out together. As soon as they walked out of the Qinzheng Hall, they saw two women in costumes walking towards them.

Rong Yan's brisk expression paused, and his expression was calm: "I've seen the Queen, I've seen... the mother-in-law..."

Concubine Ji walked up to Rong Yan with a dignified posture, but her tone was very cold: "Why are you back so early? Didn't you stay until next month?"

Rong Yan's heart was stabbed, and Xiao Ran was about to explode on the spot, but was stopped by the queen: "The mother and son are talking, General Xiao and I should not stay here and be an eyesore."

Xiao Ran glanced at her: "I'm good-looking, so I won't be an eyesore."

Queen: ...Who are you calling ugly?

Concubine Ji was born bright and beautiful. Even though she was almost naked, she only wore a wooden hairpin on her head. Her whole person still looked like a painting with thick ink and colors, but her expression was too cold and lacked the aura of human fireworks.

Even facing his own son, he is still as cold as a piece of ice that has not melted for thousands of years.

"I saw you coming out of Qinzheng Palace. Have you met His Majesty?"

Rong Yan raised his head, trying to find some warmth in her eyes. Unfortunately, there was nothing but indifference and impatience there. She didn't even want to look at his face.

"yes."

It was probably rare for Concubine Ji to hear such an indifferent and simple answer from her son. She raised her eyebrows slightly: "What did you talk about?"

Rong Yan looked into her eyes of the same color as his, trying to find his own figure here. After a long time, he asked: "Before I answer my question, can I answer a question first?"

Concubine Ji still had the same expression, like a beauty carved from ice and snow: "You say it."

Rong Yan asked: "Yun Yi, is he the person you placed beside me?"

Concubine Ji's long eyelashes fluttered, as if she had transformed from an ice sculpture back to a real person. Her gaze bypassed Rong Yan and fell into space: "So, he is dead?"

Rong Yan only felt a pain in his heart, like being splashed with ice water on a cold day. The biting coldness made people feel heartbroken: "Why?"

Concubine Ji didn't answer but asked: "Looking at you coming here alone, the man named Han was taken down, right?"

At this moment, the Queen suddenly spoke: "By the way, Sister Ji, Ying'er told us something interesting today. He asked us to see it. He didn't answer anything when asked. It's true that the bigger the story, the more tricks it has."

Concubine Ji, who was as cold as ice, suddenly laughed. This smile was like the first melting of ice and snow, rejuvenating all things: "That's all his filial piety."

The queen was quite amused: "Is it for my filial piety, or for you?"
