The Regent Princess has run away again

As soon as the carriage stopped, Li Yanze jumped off the carriage holding the jewelry box, walked in front of Xue Zhiyu, and felt a little nervous unconsciously.

"I feel really bad for hurting you that time. I... am really sorry."

Xue Zhiyu was stunned. She didn't expect Li Yanze to come for this matter. She said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury. Besides, it's normal to have some injuries during sparring. Don't worry about it."

Li Yanze felt embarrassed. He subconsciously clenched his fists at his sides, as if he was gathering all his courage and said, "I came here to apologize to you. This is a new model of jewelry box. I hope you will accept it."

Xiaoqiu watched all this from behind and couldn't help laughing in her heart.

If there was a bronze mirror, one would definitely see the young general's appearance at this moment, with his ears so red that they were about to bleed.

Xue Zhiyu was amused and helpless, "Actually, you don't have to mind it. If it happens again, I won't dare to practice martial arts with you anymore."

Li Yanze nodded as if he was being taught. "My princess is very generous. If you want to practice martial arts with me, just come to the general's mansion and find me. I've been resting these days."

After the two of them made an agreement, Xue Zhiyu accepted the jewelry box and Li Yanze got on the carriage and went back.

When the carriage went far away, Xiao Qiu joked, "Miss, I think that young general is really interesting. If you don't know, you might think you are bullying others."

"You're so brave! Come back with me." Xue Zhiyu didn't take Xiaoqiu's words to heart. After she finished speaking, she turned around and went back home.

.......

A few days later, Penang.

The master and servant entered the city gate in a carriage. Xue Zhiyu lifted the carriage curtain and watched all kinds of merchants doing business, hearing different languages.

"Miss, it's really lively here. What are they selling?" Xiao Qiu leaned over and pointed at a store, her eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Xue Zhiyu looked in the direction Xiao Qiu pointed. There was a brown-haired Persian merchant holding a huge blue diamond in his hand, which sparkled brightly in the sun.

"That's a blue diamond. One as big as the one he holds in his hand is a rare gem."

Xiaoqiu nodded as if she understood, but before she could ask more questions, the carriage drove away.

Outside the shop, the Persian merchant holding the blue diamond stroked his beard and said proudly in unstandard Chinese, "This is my treasure. In Chinese, it is the treasure of the town. I will not sell it."

After saying that, he carefully put the blue diamond in his hand back into the crystal box.

A middle-aged man in the crowd who looked very wealthy could not help but ask, "Is this broken stone of yours really so precious? How about I exchange my silk for it?"

The Persian merchant narrowed his eyes, glanced at his clothes, sneered, turned around and closed the door, leaving the group of people outside standing there in a daze.

Cuijin Tower.

In the private room on the third floor, Wen Jingxuan sat leisurely by the window, watching the business downstairs. As long as they were beauties with good looks, he would whistle at them, looking nonchalant.

Wen Rui sat on a recliner nearby, enduring the pain in his body. His face had already turned as pale as paper. He gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, do you think they deliberately tricked us to come here?"

"Isn't this coming?"

Downstairs, Nangong Ye got off the carriage, looked up and exchanged glances with Wen Jingxuan, then quickly looked away. You, who was behind him, also hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the door of the private room, before You could knock on the door, Wen Jingxuan opened the door and said familiarly, "The Regent is finally here, please come in."

Nangong Ye glanced at him and walked in, while You held his sword in a defensive posture. After Wen Jingxuan went in, he closed the door and stood by the door like a door god.

"Tell me about the information about the leader of Liuying Pavilion."

"Oh, there's no rush. Let's sit down and talk. Let me think about it. We haven't seen each other for several years. The last time we saw each other was in the Western Regions."

Wen Jingxuan walked over slowly, patted Nangong Ye on the shoulder, and sighed.

"I can wait, but I'm afraid the Third Prince may not," Nangong Ye shook off his hand unnoticeably and walked to the main seat and sat down.

"Hahahahaha, that's true. I won't beat around the bush with you. I came here today just to exchange the antidote with you," Wen Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing a few times, but there was no smile in his eyes, as if something flashed by.

Nangong Ye signaled to You, and after You understood, he took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve, but did not rush to hand it to the other party.

Wen Jingxuan didn't even glance at the bottle, staring straight at Nangong Ye who was sitting in the main seat, and said with a hint of meaning, "Although I trust the Regent very much, this matter of medicine still needs to be cautious, don't you think?"

"Excuse me."

You then poured a pill out of the bottle, and took out a piece of paper and placed it on top. After a while, the paper did not change at all, so he handed it to Wen Jingxuan, and could not help but add, "Don't worry, the poison will not kill the Third Prince."

Wen Jingxuan then took it and let Wen Rui swallow it.

Sure enough, within a short while, his originally pale face slowly regained some redness, and the pain in his body was relieved a lot.

"Where's the information I want?"

"I don't know the leader of Liuying Pavilion."

"You!!!" Upon hearing this, You was so angry that he was about to draw his sword, but when he saw Nangong Ye's eyes, he held back his anger and stood back in his original place.

"I haven't finished what I'm saying yet, why are you so anxious? Although I don't know the Pavilion Master, I roughly know where he is. He must have stayed in your Yan Country these days."

After hearing this, Nangong Ye frowned and said, "We have also sent people to investigate, but I suspect this may be his usual style. Maybe he is just a substitute."

Wen Rui on the side said disdainfully, "That only proves that your subordinates are useless. The one who is left in Yan Country is the real Pavilion Master. The substitute has long been arranged by the Pavilion Master to go somewhere else."

"How can you talk like that, Third Brother? The Regent is very busy, it's normal for him to be a little negligent." Although he said this to Wen Rui, his eyes were always on Nangong Ye.

"Since you can't give me what I really want, the rest depends on the Third Prince's own luck," Nangong Ye said, standing up and about to leave.

Now You, who was standing at the door, heard what Master Xiu said and immediately put the bottle back into his sleeve.

"Wait, are you leaving now? I have something here that is definitely worth exchanging. I think it's exactly what the Regent needs," Wen Jingxuan said slowly, blocking Nangong Ye with his hand holding a folding fan.

Nangong Ye glanced at him, and that moment made people feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar.

Before Wen Jingxuan could speak, an invisible internal force attacked him like a tiger, and he subconsciously jumped back a few steps.

"Crack!"

There was an obvious crack on the tabletop, and then it split into two halves.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are so rude, no wonder no woman dares to approach you," Wen Jingxuan seemed to be used to it and was not surprised at all. On the contrary, Wen Rui was frightened.

"I came here because of you, and you have played tricks on me many times. If it weren't for the face of the Emperor of Yuzhou Kingdom, you would probably not live past tomorrow," Nangong Ye moved his arms, his eyes full of sinisterness.

"You should still be looking for Yan Country's border defense blueprints. I can exchange them with you," Wen Jingxuan knew that he couldn't tease him anymore and regained a serious expression.

Wen Rui reacted and took out a small roll of paper from his sleeve and slowly opened it in front of Nangong Ye.

After seeing that it was indeed a border defense blueprint, Nangong Ye said, "This is a confidential document of our country. How can we exchange it?"

"Does this mean there's nothing to discuss?"

"Master, be careful!"
