"Is there anything that can prove that the person your father rescued was His Highness Yiye?" Jiang Xuewu asked half-doubtfully.

"Twenty-three years ago, Qing State sent six-year-old Qing Yi to Yu State as a hostage. This is a token that can prove his identity."

Yan Sheng took out a waist badge with a dragon pattern and the word "Qing" engraved on it and said leisurely.

Jiang Xuewu looked at the dragon-patterned waist badge and felt a little excited. It was great that His Highness Yi Ye was really alive.

"I am indeed a spy sent by Qing, but I am a close confidant of the Queen of Qing, and the Queen has given me a second life."

Five years ago, the Queen of Qing died of excessive worry. Before her death, she entrusted Jiang Xuewu to find an opportunity to come to Yu Kingdom to inquire about Qing Yiye's news.

The Queen of Qing Kingdom never believed that Qing Yi would die in the border area between the two countries. In order to repay the Queen's kindness, Jiang Xuewu volunteered to come to Yu Kingdom.

"Master Yan, I am willing to help you. Can you let me meet His Highness Yiye?" Jiang Xuewu looked at Yan Sheng with some anticipation.

Xuemen is the number one sect in the martial arts world, upholding justice. Yan Sheng is the eldest disciple of Xuemen, and he is definitely not the kind of person who would kill innocent people.

"He is in Qing Kingdom now. You will meet him later." Yan Sheng said calmly.

Jiang Xuewu was a little confused, "His Highness Yiye is actually in Qing Kingdom?"

"Well, I will help him regain his status as the prince of Qing. You go to Liuzhou tomorrow to deal with some minions of the Wufeng Sect. After the matter is done, come to Qing and you will meet your highness."

Yan Sheng thought for a while and said that the affairs of Liuzhou could be handed over to Jiang Xuewu, as a test of her strength.

The unknown forces in Liuzhou are actually some followers of the Wufeng Sect who are causing trouble, and Yan Sheng is not afraid of offending them.

"Liuzhou? Wufeng Sect? Can I handle it alone?" Jiang Xuewu said with some confusion.

He had heard of the Wu Feng Sect a long time ago. It was the second most powerful force in the Jianghu and was capable of doing all kinds of evil. Yan Sheng was from the Xue Clan and knew that good could never prevail over evil, so he was not afraid of the Wu Feng Sect.

"You will take the Shaobaofu carriage tomorrow, and someone will pick you up in Liuzhou."

Yan Sheng's eyes moved slightly. With Jiang Xuewu as his cover, Yan Sheng could take the water route and head south directly to Qing Kingdom.

"Okay, your identity is not just as simple as the Young Master Yan of Yu Country, right?"

Yan Sheng said calmly, "You will know when you go to Liuzhou. If you can't even handle things in Liuzhou, you don't need to see Qing Yi anymore."

"Yes, I will settle the matter in Liuzhou as soon as possible, and then go to Qingguo."

Jiang Xuewu knew that if Qing Yi returned to Qing State and resumed his status as a prince, Qing Wei's position as the crown prince would be lost.

The old emperor of Qing State had long wanted to depose the crown prince. If he knew that Qing Yi was still alive, he would definitely make Qing Yi the crown prince.

Qing Yi is going to be the emperor in the future. If Jiang Xuewu doesn't have the ability, she can't stay and work for Qing Yi.

Yan Sheng nodded, not knowing whether An Mei had succeeded. If the crown prince of Qing died and the old emperor had no heir, Qing would probably be in chaos.

The states of Yu and Yue had long been eyeing the state of Qing, waiting for the death of the old emperor of Qing and civil strife so that they could send troops to capture it.

The last ray of afterglow faded away, dusk gradually deepened, the capital was covered with ice and snow, and the cold wind was howling.

Yan Sheng and An Xue came to the river mouth and boarded a boat, which slowly sailed away from the shore.

"My Lord, aren't we setting off tomorrow?" An Xue asked with some confusion.

Yan Sheng said calmly, "Qingguo's affairs cannot be delayed. If we set out early, we can arrive earlier."

"That's right." Anxue thought secretly in her heart. She thought that the Lord set out early to avoid Nanxi.

Yan Sheng was meditating in the cabin, "Anxue, it takes two months to travel by water from the capital of Yu Kingdom to Xiangcheng of Qing Kingdom. We don't take the official road, but a shortcut."

"My Lord, are you referring to Linshui Bay? It only takes more than ten days to reach there by water, but the terrain there is complicated and there are pirates rampant."

"Yes, take the road towards Linshui Bay." Yan Sheng said softly.

It took two months to reach Xiangcheng of Qing State by taking the official road. If Anmei killed Qing Wei in two months, it would be enough to cause civil unrest in Qing State.

Linshui Bay is a complex and dangerous area surrounded by sea fog. It is a sea area where pirates and robbers are rampant and basically no one dares to enter.

The Wufeng Cult once sent people to try to recruit pirates into the cult, but the pirates were not subject to control at all and instead killed the believers sent by the Wufeng Cult.

Those pirates have lived in Linshui Bay for hundreds or even thousands of years. They have their own king of the sea, so why would they join the Wufeng Sect?

Yu, Yue, and Qing also sent soldiers to destroy the pirates, but the soldiers were unfamiliar with the water and terrain, and eventually died at the hands of the pirates.

Over time, people would not dare to take the shortcut of Linshui Bay even if they had to take the official road for several months.

"My Lord, there are only three of us. If we encounter pirates, we may not be able to defeat them."

An Xue said with some concern that now there were only the Lord, her and Zhu Shiqi on the boat.

"Yes, Lord, how about we go to Jiashui City ahead to dock first, go to the Blood Bamboo Branch Hall to bring some people, and then go to Linshui Bay."

Zhu Shiqi was rowing the boat and when he heard Yan Sheng say that they wanted to go to Linshui Bay, he hurriedly spoke.

Yan Sheng said calmly, "No need. There are too many people and it's easier to be exposed."

"Yes, my lord." Zhu Shiqi said respectfully.

Plum Courtyard of Prime Minister's Mansion

The embroiderers in the palace came to tailor wedding dresses for Leng Yanan. The wedding was in a month, so the Crown Princess' wedding dress had to be made overnight.

After sending the embroiderers away, Xiao Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you."

"What's the matter?" Leng Yan'an stared at the plum blossom hairpin on the table in a daze.

"Young Master Yan volunteered to go to Liuzhou to handle a case and has now left the capital." Xiao Qiu said softly.

Leng Yanan was slightly startled, his eyes flickered, "I am not interested in his affairs, where he goes has nothing to do with me."

"Miss, Xiaoqiu was too talkative." Xiaoqiu said with her head down.

Leng Yanan thought secretly in her heart, Liuzhou? Did Yan Sheng go to Liuzhou because of her? Liuzhou is far away from the capital.

In the previous life, there was indeed a difficult case in Liuzhou. The unknown force was the followers of the Wufeng Sect who were causing trouble.

However, Yan Sheng is such a skilled martial artist and he is from Xuemen, so he must have a way to deal with Wufeng Sect.

But Liuzhou is so close to the border between the two countries. If any danger occurs, Yan Sheng alone cannot resist thousands of troops.

Leng Yanan, wake up, you and Yan Sheng have nothing to do with each other anymore. What does it have to do with you whether Yan Sheng is in danger or not?

After struggling for a while, Leng Yanan couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Qiu, when did Yan Sheng leave the capital?"

"He left at noon this morning." Xiao Qiu was stunned and said calmly.

Chenshi? It was Sishi now, and Yan Sheng had already walked for two hours.

Leng Yan'an looked up at the plum tree saplings covered with snow outside the window. Now she thought calmly that although Yan Sheng had deceived her, he had indeed not hurt her.

People from the Wufeng Sect injured many civilians in Liuzhou. When Yan Sheng went to Liuzhou, he had to make proper arrangements for the treatment of the civilians.
