Chapter 109 The Butler is Sleeping
The incident happened suddenly and everyone was stunned.
Wen Yan stared at the hidden weapon in his hand, and when she confirmed that he had not activated the mechanism, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be pointless to say anything in this situation. Wen Yan walked over and showed him his arm: "Just now I saw him aiming, I'm afraid he's going to kill someone present."
There was a cylindrical hidden weapon tied to the man's arm.
Wen Yan calmly checked his body, and when no one was paying attention, she quietly put the inconspicuous jade ring on the man's other hand into the space.
"General Dongfang, here." Wen Yan opened the inside of his boots and saw the word "Jixiang" embroidered on it. "This is the mark of the Jixiang Clothing Store in Beijing. This person is probably from Beijing."
Dongfang Qi looked at Wen Yan, "Beijing?"
Wen Yan clapped her hands and stood up: "That's right, please ask General Dongfang to hand this person over to Ye Shizi, he should be able to investigate faster."
"Okay." Dongfang Qi asked his men to carry the body away, and asked Wen Yan hesitantly, "You... were sent by your enemy?"
"Maybe. I have too many enemies and I'm not sure who they are."
Wen Yan was still smiling, but with a hint of bitterness. After all, it was really unpleasant to be hunted and assassinated for no reason.
Without saying anything more to Dongfang Qi, Wen Yan returned to her tent. The children had not returned yet.
Wen Yan sat on the couch, having a vague premonition that the assassin must have been sent by the Crown Princess.
It seems that I have to ask Xiangyun when I get back how to deal with this cunning Crown Princess.
But there is no point in thinking too much now, let’s go to the space first to see what has been upgraded.
Wen Yan lay down and her consciousness entered the space.
The housekeeper stood at the door of the cottage waiting for her, "Master."
The jade ring was in the palm of his hand.
Wen Yan hadn't looked carefully just now, but now she was looking at the jade ring seriously, "Why doesn't the space change?"
Butler: "During this space upgrade, I need to sleep for a while."
The hand that was playing with the jade ring paused for a moment, and Wen Yan looked at the lifelike puppet in front of her, "Sleeping?"
"Yes, you can continue to use the space while I am asleep, but I cannot move. The sleeping time is about three months."
Thinking about how the butler has changed from being crude and shoddy at the beginning to what it is now, every upgrade of the space seems to be accompanied by an upgrade of the butler. This time he actually started to fall asleep directly. I don’t know what the butler will become in the end.
After talking to Wen Yan, the butler walked into the room and closed his eyes in the corner where he usually stood.
Wen Yan confirmed that he couldn't be woken up at all, and then went outside.
Half of the food in the space has been consumed, and it is estimated that all of it will be consumed before the snow stops. At that time, she can continue to grow crops such as medicinal herbs that she needs.
Wen Yan happily planned her own farming plan, but then she remembered that the housekeeper might still be asleep when she started farming.
It seems that I have to do it myself. Fortunately, when she watches the housekeeper farming on weekdays, she will also help do some of the work.
Therefore, it is definitely not a problem for her!
The date when the snow stopped was exactly the same as in Wanhe’s dream.
But this place was not full of starving people, there were no countless casualties, the border had not been breached, and Wan Xiaqing was fine.
The soldiers forcibly cleared a path and headed towards the capital.
Wan Xiaqing was also leaving. She was sitting on a horse, wearing armor, looking extremely brave. She was directing her men to shovel snow and move forward, with the demeanor of a great general.
"On the battlefield, people grow the fastest." Ye Qinghuai came over at some point and looked at Wan Xiaqing with great pride.
When I first met him, he was still immature and only had crude martial arts skills.
Now under the guidance of Qiao Mingzhi, his kung fu has improved dramatically, and all his martial arts techniques have become more practical and brutal.
Wen Yan nodded slightly, as if she had finally made up her mind: "Qing Huai, this time when she goes back, she doesn't have to hide her identity. My daughter should stand upright in front of everyone."
Who the hell is Wan Gaofeng? He deserves his daughter who shines so brightly to hide behind the crowd.
Ye Qinghuai smiled and whispered, "That's exactly what I meant."
Wan Xiaqing now enjoys a very high reputation in the military camp, not only because she is wise and brave at a young age.
There is also her mother who is a god of cooking, her sister who is a wise military strategist, and her sister who is a lovable doctor...
This family left an indelible mark in the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Even if someone wants to kill Wan Xiaqing, they have to think carefully before doing so.
Suddenly, Ye Qinghuai said again: "Aunt Wen, the assassin was found to be sent by the Crown Princess... Why did the Crown Princess want to kill you?"
"Maybe it's because I look like the prince's ex-girlfriend?" Wen Yan smiled a little helplessly.
"Ex-girlfriend?" Ye Qinghuai listened to this strange word.
"That's what the old lover meant." Wen Yan paused and continued, "Qing Huai, I need you to help me do something, but it may offend the prince."
...
In the thirty-sixth year of Taiqing in the Ning Dynasty, Ye Qinghuai, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and Dongfang Qi, the general stationed at the border, won a great victory in the battle against the Gaoli Kingdom.
He returned to the capital at the end of March, and the people of the capital lined the streets to welcome him.
The prince even stood on the city wall and came to greet them in person.
Yuan Hesong looked at the mighty troops heading towards the imperial city with an unpredictable look in his eyes, "Jiang Suo, the Duke of Zhenguo has been unconscious since he was injured on the battlefield for five years. Do you know why my father wants to keep him alive?"
Jiang Suo stood behind him and said, "I dare not guess the emperor's intentions!"
Yuan Hesong chuckled. Jiang Suo was a tight-lipped and cautious person. He promoted him to be a close bodyguard because of this. "The ministers in the court all thought that the emperor was old and his eyesight was dim, but they didn't know that the emperor was actually the most shrewd."
"He saw that Ye Qinghuai's military ability was stronger than his father's. If the Duke of Zhenguo died, he might be beyond his control. That's why he brought the Duke of Zhenguo to the palace and asked the imperial physician to take care of him day and night."
“As long as the Duke of Zhenguo is alive, he will always be the Crown Prince and will not be able to take over the Tiger Tally and truly control the Ye Family Army.”
Jiang Suo didn't expect there were so many twists and turns, and didn't know how to answer. Wasn't the Ye Family Army an army trained by the Ye Family themselves? They actually obeyed the orders of the Tiger Talisman?
But Yuan Hesong didn't want him to reply, he just took him down the city wall to meet Ye Qinghuai.
He had a warm smile on his face, "Qing Huai!"
Ye Qinghuai dismounted and saluted Yuan Hesong, "Your Highness."
"You don't have to be so polite," Yuan Hesong said, "You are a great contributor to the dynasty!"
Yuan Hesong helped him up and said, "My father asked me to come and meet you early in the morning. Come with me to the palace to see the emperor."
Ye Qinghuai stood at the foot of the city wall. Apart from himself, there were only two soldiers following him, carrying a roll of bamboo mat.
When we arrived in the capital, the weather was getting warmer and a faint stench of corpses wafted from the bamboo mats.
Ye Qinghuai waved his hand and had someone pass the bamboo mat to the prince: "Your Highness, do you recognize this person?"
Yuan Hesong looked at the bamboo mat and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Jiang Suo behind him went to check. Although the face was beginning to decay, he could still vaguely recognize it. He leaned close to Yuan Hesong's ear and whispered, "It's someone from the secret guards."
The secret guards around Yuan Hesong were all trained by Miss Yun, but Yuan Hesong himself did not give any orders, so the only one who could order them around was the Crown Princess.
Yuan Hesong had already cut Mo Yulian, the idiot, into pieces in his heart, but he had to smile and say, "What does Qing Huai mean by this?"
"Your Highness, please give me justice!"
Ye Qinghuai saluted again, looking straight ahead, and spoke with a sonorous voice, "The person who was stabbed was Qinghuai's lifesaver. If she hadn't saved me, I'm afraid Qinghuai would have turned into a pile of bones by now. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring, let alone the life-saving grace! Qinghuai will remember it in my heart for the rest of my life!"
"If someone tries to assassinate her again, Qing Huai will bring the body to the mansion in person to seek justice!"
The smile on Yuan Hesong's face could no longer be maintained. Just for a little woman, someone actually threatened him?
"Jiang Suo, go and deliver the body to the Crown Princess and ask her what happened. You must give the Crown Prince an explanation before sunset today!"
Ye Qinghuai raised his voice and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness is wise!"
