Chapter 39 Commander Yan, do you want to know the real murderer?

Under Qin Ye's arrangement, some soldiers were left to guard the border, and the rest all returned to the capital.

Seeing that they didn't have to fight, the soldiers' faces were filled with smiles, and all they talked about along the way were rewards.

For them, this was a great victory. Even if they couldn't get promoted, at least they would get rich.

Li Chengping was sitting in the carriage, holding a book in his hands and reading it carefully.

No matter how the car body shook, he remained motionless.

At this time, a chirping sound of birds came from outside.

Li Chengping's eyes lit up, and he immediately lifted the curtain covering the window. The bird seemed to have eyes and flew in.

Li Chengping skillfully took out the bamboo tube and frowned when he saw the contents inside.

The secret letter was sent by Zhao Gao. In addition to reporting safety to Li Chengping, the letter also mentioned Fan Xian.

Everything developed just as in the original novel. The matter ended up in nothing and Fan Xian was not affected at all.

Li Chengping was not surprised at all, and even felt a little sad for Lin Ruofu.

As the prime minister, Lin Ruofu had been busy for the Qing Kingdom for so many years, but in the end he couldn't even catch the murderer who killed his son.

On the way back, we took a break.

Li Chengping's gaze fell on Yan Xiaoyi, his eyes flickering slightly.

After this incident, Li Yunrui has been irreversibly labeled in his mind.

Yan Xiaoyi is the most loyal general around Li Yunrui, and his superb archery skills will cause him a lot of trouble in the future.

It was not difficult to kill this man, but Li Chengping couldn't bear to see such an archery master fall.

"Wei Zhuang, go back first and tell Zhao Gao to investigate Yan Xiaoyi's background and send the results as soon as possible."

Wei Zhuang frowned: "My duty is to protect you!"

"Don't worry, I'm accompanying the army, no one will dare to do anything to me. If you are really worried, just go and come back soon."

Li Chengping smiled slightly.

Wei Zhuang didn't say anything else. He took a leap and disappeared on the spot like a ghost.

Shortly after Wei Zhuang left, Yan Xiaoyi personally brought the prepared meal into the tent.

He was somewhat surprised to see Li Chengping sitting alone at the desk reading a book. In his impression, this prince was always accompanied by a white-haired swordsman.

The man was serious all day long and never made a move against the other party.

However, Yan Xiaoyi's intuition told him that there was a very dangerous aura from that person!
……

Luowang's ability to act is very fast.

The next morning, Wei Zhuang rushed back with the information. After reading the contents of the investigation, Li Chengping looked a little strange.

"There is actually such a thing, Li Yunrui, you are really both a man and a womanizer!"

Li Chengping sneered.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, he specially called Yan Xiaoyi into the temporary tent.

"Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?" Yan Xiaoyi bowed.

"Commander Yan, don't be nervous. Please take a seat."

Li Chengping smiled slightly and said, "The military law prohibits drinking alcohol. I will use tea instead of wine today. Thank you, Commander Yan, for your protection along the way."

"Your Highness, you are too polite. Protecting you is my duty. There is no need to thank me. Do you have anything else to say?" Yan Xiaoyi asked vigilantly.

Li Chengping knew that Yan Xiaoyi was on guard against him and smiled faintly.

"Haha, Commander Yan, don't be nervous. I mean no harm to you. I heard that you are also from Kyoto?"

"I guess so. My home is outside the suburbs of Kyoto." Yan Xiaoyi said coldly.

"Oh, I wonder how many people are there in Commander Yan's family? How are the elders in your family in health?" Li Chengping asked.

Yan Xiaoyi's expression froze, as if he had thought of something. A trace of sadness flashed in the depths of his eyes, but was quickly covered by indifference.

"The elders in my family have passed away, so there is no need for you to worry about them, Your Highness. I have other things to do, so goodbye!" Yan Xiaoyi replied coldly and turned to walk outside.

"Commander Yan, don't you want to find the real murderer who killed your parents?"

Hearing the words coming from behind, Yan Xiaoyi paused, stood there in silence for two seconds, and then walked out of the tent without looking back.

"It seems that he has rejected your solicitation."

Wei Zhuang, who was standing aside, spoke slowly and glanced at Li Chengping, a hint of confusion flashed in his cold eyes.

He didn't understand why Li Chengping valued Yan Xiaoyi so much. Yan Xiaoyi was just a ninth-rank warrior and was like an ant in his eyes.

"Don't jump to conclusions. The fact that he can take the position of the commander of the imperial guards means he is not a fool."

"Just wait, he will come again!"

Li Chengping smiled faintly and asked Wei Zhuang to sit down and eat.

Yan Xiaoyi returned to the tent with an expressionless face. After entering, he immediately drove away all the men who accompanied him.

He sat in the chair, his mind echoing with what Li Chengping had just said, his eyes showing some hesitation.

The death of his family was a great shock to Yan Xiaoyi.

Ever since he took over as the commander of the Imperial Guards, he has been secretly investigating the matter, but the murderers seem to have disappeared without a trace, and there is no clue at all.

When I close my eyes, what happened that day will unconsciously emerge in my mind.

All he knew was that it was a dark night and it was raining heavily.

A group of unidentified men in black broke in and killed everyone in the house indiscriminately.

Yan Xiaoyi was hidden under the bed. Due to his thin body and dim light, he escaped the search.

But that bloody scene is still fresh in his memory!

"Could it be possible that the Third Prince has some clues? How is that possible? I have investigated for so many years but have gained nothing. How can I trust the words of a teenager?"

Yan Xiaoyi laughed at himself.

……

The sky gradually darkened, and the army was less than twenty miles away from Kyoto City.

Under Qin Ye's order, the army temporarily stationed outside the city, waiting for Emperor Qing to summon them tomorrow.

The night was dark.

Many soldiers had already gone to bed, and only a few tents still had candles lit.

Li Chengping was sitting at his desk, reading by candlelight at night, flipping through the book in his hands carefully.

Wei Zhuang sat cross-legged on the side, with the shark-tooth sword on his legs, meditating with his eyes closed.

The atmosphere in the house was exceptionally quiet.

Just then, the curtain of the tent was lifted and a cold wind blew into the room.

The candlelight flickered in front of the desk. Under the light, a figure slowly walked in from outside.

Wei Zhuang raised his head, and when he saw the person coming in, a hint of surprise flashed in his cold eyes.

"I am Yan Xiaoyi, and I am here to see His Majesty King Wen!"

A powerful voice sounded, Li Chengping put down the book in his hand, smiled and waved.

"Commander Yan, you are finally here. Please take a seat."

Yan Xiaoyi paused, looking a little surprised: "Your Majesty, why are you so sure that I will come?"

"Because I know Commander Yan is a man who will repay a favor. The kindness of parents is greater than heaven, and I believe the Commander will definitely not forget it!"

Li Chengping smiled faintly.

Yan Xiaoyi was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and bowed to Li Chengping.

"My Lord, I wonder what you meant by what you said this afternoon?"
