Chapter 344 The Prince's Companion

Business

Seeing the silky charm in her eyes, Xu Yuan was slightly wary.

Although this breast-binding princess acted like a bad woman in words and deeds, he actually didn't even touch her hair.

Say this now.

etc,

I?

With a slightly warm breath blowing over the side of his face, Xu Yuan looked at her face so close and suddenly his eyes narrowed.

She was startled, and subconsciously wanted to look around, but at the last moment Xu Yuan suppressed an impulse, his expression remained unchanged, and he lifted her chin with his fingertips:

"You, ah, are all thousand-year-old fairies, so don't act here."

Li Qingyan leaned against the black dragon car behind him, his waist and hip lines looming under the red robe. He raised his chin slightly, smiled with his red lips, and softly chanted:

"Well, I'm not joking with you tonight."

"hehe."

Xu Yuan immediately took a step back, rolled his eyes at the woman, and said loudly to the driver setting up the horse in front of him:

"Mr. Wang, let's go."

"."

The words fell silent, only the falling snow drifted by.

The man in black sitting on the train ignored Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced at the platform of the carriage.

When Li Qingyan saw the other party leaving, a look of boredom flashed in his eyes, he stood up straight and casually reminded:

"Direct transmission, your black scale guard took the initiative to shut down his five senses."

Xu Yuan was speechless.

Yes, quite sensible.

After the message was transmitted, Mr. Wang, wrapped in a black robe, quickly got out of the car and saluted the two of them:

"Third Young Master, His Highness Wu Yuan."

Xu Yuanmu glanced at the other party with approval and said with a smile:

"Go home."

Hearing this, Mr. Wang respectfully opened the car door for Xu Yuan. The patterns engraved on the Black Dragon's body immediately started to move, and several translucent steps were formed at the door.

The body of the Black Dragon Carriage is very large, more than ten feet long, and the door is more than half a meter off the ground.

The most luxurious horse-drawn carriage is pulled up as a rider. After all, life must have a sense of ritual.

As the tips of his boots stepped onto the stairs, Xu Yuan looked back and said softly:

"Then I will leave first tonight."

"Wait a moment."

Li Qingyan raised his hand to hold him, and chuckled softly: "Chang Tianqian, please accompany me to meet someone tonight."

His feet stopped for a moment, and Xu Yuan looked back with confusion.

He did not remember that the important person he and Li Qingyan knew in common was in Guangyang Mansion.

"Meeting whom?"

"My royal brother's first companion."

"."

Xu Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, subconsciously glanced at Li Zhaoyuan's mansion a hundred feet away, and then asked in a low voice:

"Prince?"

"Otherwise it could still be Li Zhaoyuan?"

"What is he looking for you at this time?"

"What do you think?"

Li Qingyan exhaled a breath of white mist on the quiet street on the cold autumn night, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Aside from winning over me, what else can I do?"

After a moment's pause,

She suddenly glanced meaningfully into the mansion: "It seems that the second brother's trip to the north has created a lot of crisis for the emperor."

Xu Yuan saw the look in her eyes and subconsciously searched out her spiritual vision, but found nothing.

But in the next moment, a figure in white appeared in the turbulent falling snow, and a low, slightly magnetic male voice came quietly:

"This trip to the north was personally approved by the Emperor's brother, so why should we talk about the crisis?"

"."

Seeing the visitor, Xu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Although his spiritual vision is extremely penetrating, the range it can cover is limited by his cultivation level and is extremely limited.

Li Zhaoyuan stepped on the snow silently, leaving a trail of footprints. When he came closer, his starry eyes stared at Li Qingyan, and his tone was as calm as a mountain:

"Royal sister, you are injured"

"The injury is not serious."

Li Qingyan's eyes were as cold as ice, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised: "Second brother, you have healing elixirs. I and Changtian should have them, so I won't bother you."

Li Zhaoyuan nodded gently, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and said:

"Well, brother, you can rest assured. However, my dear sister, your injury has not healed yet. You must put your health first before heading north this time."

Li Qingyan stared at him, his voice neither cold nor indifferent:

"Is this why you came here?"

Li Zhaoyuan didn't care about Li Qingyan's tone, he remained calm and gentle:

"Fang finished the meal that you and Changtian prepared for brother Fang, and I sensed your energy. I haven't seen you for a long time, so come and say hello."

Li Qingyan nodded when he heard this but did not answer.

The meaning is obvious,

You’ve finished saying hello, why don’t you get out?

"."

Li Zhaoyuan chuckled and sighed, nodded to the two of them, turned around, and then seemed to think of something, and whispered:

"Oh, right."

As he said that, Li Zhaoyuan turned around half-way, his face was handsome and handsome, and his tone also had a hint of smile:

"The situation in the north is complicated this time. Brother, I might be able to work with you, my dear sister, for once."

"."

Hearing this, Li Qingyan frowned immediately, but Li Zhaoyuan's figure had disappeared, leaving only a little snow dust stirred up by the strong wind in the quiet streets.

There was silence for a moment, and the inscription lamp stretched the shadows of the three people very long.

For a long time,

Xu Yuan looked around:

"gone?"

Li Qingyan frowned slightly, his beautiful eyes looking forward with a touch of solemnity:

"gone."

Xu Yuan looked at her solemn expression and asked with a chuckle:

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so serious?"

"."

Listening to the other party's smiling voice, Li Qingyan looked back, glared at this heartless guy, and exhaled:

"Don't you understand? Li Zhaoyuan came here specifically to meet with me. He may be taking over the military power."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head:

"Maybe? Qingyan, you said it wrong."

"Um?"

"With Li Zhaoyuan's character, would he say some illusory things?"

Xu Yuan still smiled softly, with no emotion or anger in his eyes: "Since he dares to inform us, he will definitely get part of the military power."

Of course he understood the purpose of Li Zhaoyuan's trip.

The so-called comrades are not hostages accompanying the army.

Li Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan with a little curiosity in his eyes:

"Changtian, you seem to know something?"

This bad woman's reaction is still as fast as ever.

However, Xu Yuan did not respond immediately and glanced at the man in black robe standing aside.

Yes, this uncle is autistic again.

Very conscious.

But think about it, people who follow Lou Ji as intelligence agents often know best that curiosity can kill them at any time.

Looking away, Xu Yuan pulled Li Qingyan onto the carriage.

The incense in the car is still there, with a faint scent of jasmine.

The soft couch sank, Xu Yuan met the gaze of the woman across from him, and took out the wine pot and glass without haste. When he was about to pour it, she snatched it away:

"When will you still drink?"

Looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan said half-jokingly:

"Why are you so anxious? It's still a long way to your military camp. If you don't let me drink, I might lose my memory."

As he spoke, he gently raised his finger and directly activated the top-level sound-closing array and soul-leaving array engraved on the black dragon carriage.

The former silences the sound, while the latter avoids the soul.

Li Qingyan smiled, lowered his eyes and poured him a glass, then slowly stood up and sat next to him:

".Stop being so pretentious."

As she spoke, she gently raised her hand to raise the wine glass to his lips.

Xu Yuan raised his eyes, opened his lips, and said with a smile:

"His Royal Highness Wu Yuan poured the wine himself, how many people in the world can enjoy it?"

The words fell,

Wow——

"."

Xu Yuan glanced at the breast of the brocade robe that was soaked with wine, and then raised his eyes to glance at her.

After looking at each other for a moment, Li Qingyan opened his eyes sideways:

"I have never done this before, so I am not familiar with it. Please do it a few more times."

"okay."

Xu Yuan snatched the wine glass from her hand, put it on the table, leaned on the soft couch, and said:

"I actually don't know much about this matter. It's most likely that Li Zhaoyuan and the sect discussed something tonight, so he had the confidence to say this."

Li Qingyan stood upright and sat upright, looking at the man in front of him who was not sitting upright:

"What does the clan have to do with him taking the military power? Without the permission of the court, he is raising a private army. The charge of treason is enough to kill Li Zhaoyuan ten thousand times."

Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, his eyes looked slightly strange:

"So serious? Then my Black Scale Army."

"It's a private army."

Li Qingyan's sentence was straightforward, but after a moment's pause, she teased and said:

"Of course, it can also be said to be a nursing home servant.

"After all, even I don't know how many black scale soldiers there are in your family."

"."

Yes, Great Yan's law is quite flexible.

A small number of troops means private soldiers plotting rebellion, and a large number of troops means the guardians of the courtyard.

After the joke,

Li Qingyan's eyes, which were like a pool of clear water, flashed with seriousness:

"However, the nature of your prime minister's office is completely different from that of Li Zhaoyuan. A prince who establishes his office in Beijing cannot support troops."

Because of past mistakes.

Six hundred years ago, in Dayan, the prince staged an armed coup in Beijing and wanted to kill his father in advance. Since then, the established princes have basically not been allowed to have a "household nursing home".

When Xu Yuan heard this, his eyes looked strange and he asked in a low voice:

"But isn't the commander of the imperial army in Imperial Capital a princeling?"

Li Qingyan glanced at him sideways:

"The Forbidden Army only takes orders from the father, no, it only takes orders from the emperor."

Xu Yuan chuckled lightly and didn't take it seriously:

"What you said is a bit absolute. After decades of being together, plus the skill of following the dragon, everyone should choose it."

"Changtian, you are wrong."

Li Qingyan interrupted him and tucked his long hair behind his ears:

"Although I can't explain to you some of our royal family's affairs, just imagine, if the imperial army all obeys the orders of my eldest brother, then why is he now trying every means to win the support of this palace?

"The Forbidden Army is permanently stationed in the Imperial City in the four towns. If you want to control the Imperial Capital, it is much easier to directly mobilize the Forbidden Army than this palace."

"."

Xu Yuan's thoughts suddenly stopped and his brows gradually furrowed.

Just imagine.

Li Qingyan's words suddenly made some things that he had not thought about come to Xu Yuan's mind at this moment.

If the imperial power can be transferred smoothly and the prince ascends the throne as scheduled, then everything will be fine.

But if not,

If the commander of the Forbidden Army really obeys the prince's orders, the hundreds of thousands of permanently stationed Forbidden Army will directly control Di'an City after issuing an order.

What can Li Zhaoyuan, the second prince, do?

Xu Yuan felt that he should be able to vote directly.

No matter how hard you try, it won't make a splash.

The carriage was filled with incense and was silent for a moment.

Li Qingyan picked up Xu Yuan's wine glass and poured himself a glass, taking a sip with his red lips:

"Figured out?"

Xu Yuan licked the corners of his lips and laughed softly:

"I probably know why Li Zhaoyuan wants to risk killing you."

If he were in Li Zhaoyuan's position, he would kill him too.

If I don't kill him, I will really have trouble sleeping and eating.

After all, Li Qingyan is the current prince's half-sister. Once she stands on the prince's side, he will have almost no chance of turning the tables.

Li Qingyan stared at him with a smile:

"Although my father and my elder brother should now think that my second brother assassinated me, and you, Changtian, are just an incident, but in fact he should not think so."

As a prince, Li Zhaoyuan must do whatever it takes to ascend to the throne.

As a member of the royal family, Li Zhaoyuan also wants the prime minister's mansion to have no successor.

Xu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and said with a twitch of his mouth:

"Hey, you don't want to murder your husband, do you?"

Li Qingyan's eyes showed a deep thought, and he did not answer.

Xu Yuan "hissed" lightly:

"Hey, are you serious?"

"Yeah"

Li Qingyan blinked her eyes and smiled like a flower: "Considering your philandering character, Changtian, it is not impossible."

After that, she handed him the porcelain cup.

Xu Yuan took the cup, drank it, and smiled faintly:

"It's not like you haven't died before, so can you leave me a whole body when the time comes?"

Li Qingyan was silent for a few breaths, and said softly:

"Changtian, you don't really think I will..."

"By the way, Qingyan."

Xu Yuan interrupted her and said with a smile: "Li Zhaoyuan doesn't seem to know the relationship between you and your eldest brother?"

"."

Seeing that he directly skipped this topic, her eyes flashed imperceptibly.

In silence,

the jasmine fragrance in the car rushed into her nose, turning into a sour and tight ripple in her heart.

But this was only a moment.

Back to normal, Li Qingyan did not dwell on the topic just now:

"I don't know, otherwise he would not want to kill me."

Xu Yuan touched his chin, glanced at the direction of the carriage, and asked with interest:

"Qingyan, although you are in the northern border, has the prince ever thought of contacting you? And I remember that he was on a diplomatic mission to the barbarians two years ago, and stayed in Beifeng for so long, but he didn't contact you about the brother-sister relationship?"

"I remember I told you about this before."

Li Qingyan showed a hint of sarcasm:

"There is no letter, and he has no intersection with me in Beifeng. The prince only visited me frequently when I returned to Beijing to get engaged to you."

Xu Yuan sat up slightly and asked:

"There must be a reason for this?"

Although he has never seen the prince, judging from the rumors, it is unlikely that the other party will not prepare for the rainy day.

With a sister who holds military power outside, based on the relationship of the same mother, it is better to gain some favor in advance.

As a result, the prince came to ask for help when the deadline for the succession battle was approaching.

This is not right no matter how you think about it.

"Reason?"

Li Qingyan tilted her head, her eyebrows were clear and her eyes were smiling: "Does it matter?"

Xu Yuan looked at her expression and was suddenly speechless.

At this point, whether it was because the current prince really forgot or the emperor was interfering, it was no longer important.

Because the established facts have been determined,

Li Qingyan has no feelings for the prince's elder brother.

Thinking of this,

Xu Yuan poured a glass of wine, handed it to her, and asked softly:

"I probably know why the prince sent his companion to see you, but why did you take me with you?"
