The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned

"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."

It was late at night and the voice of the night watchman could be heard outside the house.

The weather was getting hotter and the dry air made people thirsty. Meng Xuanhe did not go back to sleep immediately, but poured a cup of tea and sat under the pavilion.

The sound of the night watchman knocking on the iron made people shiver under the quiet moonlight.

The dim blue lights, the familiar dry weather and being careful with fire, are all plots from suspenseful ghost movies. After Meng Xuanhe traveled through time, it was the first time he felt the ancient atmosphere so directly.

She couldn't help but pull up her sleeves and wrap herself up layer by layer, as if she was silently putting her exposed feet into the bed while lying on it.

Jiang Mingyuan was taking care of the affairs of the Yangzhou mansion, so she didn't have to worry about it anymore. When she set out on this trip to Yangzhou, she already knew that this would be the last time they would gather together.

But Meng Xuanhe believes that in the near future, they will meet again, with familiar people and on familiar streets, and perhaps this day will not be too far away.

At the same time, Beiliang.

Yu Shengan knew Xie Lin would take action during this trip, and he had made all the necessary preparations. It was a dark and windy night, and it was inevitable that people would feel nervous.

He deliberately replaced the prince with a cat, avoided being followed by the secret guards, and took only a few people by water.

"That little bastard, I will kill you when I return to Beijing." Yu Sheng'an gritted his teeth and cursed while sitting on a dilapidated boat.

"General, calm down. We will be able to reach the capital tomorrow." Yu Shengan's men consoled him.

"If he hadn't spread lies in front of the emperor, how could the emperor have taken away my military power?" Yu Shengan became even more angry and slapped the subordinate who was trying to appease him.

Originally, he should have returned in glory for his great military exploits. However, Xie Lin did not know what he had said to the Emperor of Beiliang, and he actually sent his soldiers to another border, leaving him alone to return to the capital.

Otherwise, how could Yu Shengan end up in such an embarrassing situation now.

But it doesn’t matter. When he returns to the capital, he will make public what Xie Lin did on the way.

Returning to Beijing was different from what Yu Shengan had imagined.

He originally planned to take the water route to avoid Xie Lin's troops and return to the general's mansion in a low profile. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city gate, countless people came to celebrate.

The common people of Beiliang prayed for him sincerely, prostrating themselves on the ground and kneeling before the general.

At the end of Chang'an Street, there is a stunningly beautiful woman in red clothes dancing gracefully.

The simple and elegant sound of the zither was melodious and graceful, and the people sang it together. It was the song that sang King Lanling's march into battle.

The tragic and majestic court dance music was played among the people, and the scene of the streets being deserted was as if the emperor himself was present.

Yu Shengan breathed quickly, and felt that the hardships along the way were worth it. At least in Chang'an, both the common people and the nobles remembered everything he had done for Beiliang.

Presumably, all this was prepared for him by the Emperor of Beiliang. As a great contributor to Beiliang today, he has gained all the wealth, honor, promotion and rank.

It also prolonged the prosperity of the Yu family. I heard that my sister also received many rewards from the Emperor of Beiliang some time ago.

The only flaw was that a man slowly walked out behind the stunning beauty.

The man was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

It was Xie Lin who was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Yu family.

Xie Lin smiled calmly. That smile was perfect, but it made people tremble with fear for no reason.

"Welcome the general back to the capital." Xie Lin simply bowed to Yu Shengan. How could he miss such a scene of thousands of people paying homage to him?

"Thanks to you, I finally arrived in Chang'an safely." Yu Shengan sneered. In front of thousands of people, he did not directly offend Xie Lin.

He was a bit clever, but not much, and not enough to save him from certain death, Xie Lin thought.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Father are waiting for you in the court. General, please enter the palace to pay your respects."

Xie Lin still had that gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were now filled with a cold and ruthless light.

Yu Shengan seemed to enjoy this scene very much. The sedan chair coming out of the palace was extremely luxurious and expensive. The bright yellow sedan chair demonstrated the majesty of the royal family.

"This is specially prepared for you by your father." Xie Lin explained about the sedan chair.

In the past, with Yu Shengan's personality, he might not have taken this sedan chair, but at this moment he was already distracted by such a scene. The four words "arrogant because of being favored" have a power that is not just talk.

Even for Yu Shengan, it would be difficult to stay sober in the face of such a great achievement.

Seeing Yu Shengan's smug look, Xie Lin turned around and got on the sedan chair.

He had no expression in a place where no one could see him, as if he was born without any other emotions.

Two extremely luxurious sedan chairs were heading towards the palace, with Yan Qingzheng sitting beside them.

"Your Highness, this flattery will only increase the emperor's suspicion. It is really a smart move."

Yan Qing was originally worried that Yu Shengan would escape from their pursuit, but now it seems that the feeling of praising him to the highest point and then throwing him down hard is even more difficult to accept.

"Killing him directly would be too easy for him." Xie Lin stared silently at the teacup in front of him without even raising his head.

The tea in the teacup was too full, and even though the sedan chair was stable, the tea would overflow with just a slight shake. Therefore, the tea could not withstand any external fluctuations, and a slight breeze would cause the water in the teacup to spill everywhere.

It has been the case since ancient times that great achievements will arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Xie Lin's revenge on the Yu family has just begun.

Xie Lin and Yu Shengan's sedan attracted a lot of attention and was in great glory along the way.

Even a foolish emperor like Meng Ziyan knew to place his spies all over Bian Jing, so how could the Emperor of Beiliang not know what was going on here?

So when such a big event was happening on the streets of Chang'an, at the same time in the palace, the Emperor of Beiliang was listening to the rumors of the spies with a grim expression.

As an emperor, the most unbearable thing is that the generals under his command are not supported by the people, and some people even only know the bravery of the general who protects the country, but forget the current emperor.

The Emperor of Beiliang has always been an ambitious emperor. He wants to unify the two countries and become a saint admired by everyone and passed down through the ages.

This time, all the credit was taken by Yu Shengan, so how could he not be suspicious?

What's even more ridiculous is that the queen has always protected Xie Jingce very well. Even if such protection is doting, it is also a sharp sword.

He didn't understand how cruel the royal family was, so much so that he was still sighing with joy beside Emperor Beiliang.

"My uncle has arrived in the capital. He has made great contributions in this battle. He is worthy of being the general who protects the country of Beiliang. He has taken over all the cities of Nanmeng."

Xie Jingce stood in the palace and didn't notice that the Emperor of Beiliang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had a gloomy look on his face.

The Emperor of Beiliang has always been a person who never shows his emotions, but at this moment his inner dissatisfaction showed directly on his face. One can imagine how angry he was.

Xie Jingce's words were more like a sharp dagger, emitting a silvery-white light, piercing straight into his heart.

Oh, how could he forget.

Xie Jingce is a descendant of the Yu family, and has the same blood as Yu Shengan flowing in his body.

Emperor Beiliang looked coldly at his son standing in the hall. In the past, he had always loved him very much, but at this moment, his inner thoughts were exposed to everyone.
