Who put the yellow robe on me?

Jiang Chen asked Xian Yu Linyuan to come in. The dim candlelight flickered in the room, reflecting the expressions of the two people.

Xianyu Linyuan walked into the house with heavy steps, his expression solemn, as if something was making him restless.

Jiang Chen looked up and asked with concern, "General Xianyu, it's so late, what's the important matter?"

Xianyu Linyuan lowered his head slightly, looking a little hesitant, but finally said, "Your Highness, Prince of Yan, it seems we are being followed."

"What? I'm being followed. Do you know who it is?" Jiang Chen's heart tightened and he felt vaguely uneasy.

Xianyu Linyuan shook his head, a trace of uneasiness flashing in his eyes: "I don't know who it is, but judging by his martial arts skills, his martial arts skills are not low, and it seems that he is not inferior to me."

"Will you assassinate us?" Jiang Chen asked, his voice slightly raised.

Xianyu Linyuan frowned, and after a moment he said, "I'm not sure, but judging by his figure, he doesn't seem to be tall."

Not tall? Jiang Chen's thoughts were instantly drawn to this sentence.

His mind flashed back to Yang Da and the others, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of doubt and contemplation. Could it be them? But why didn't they come directly to him?

"Okay, General Xianyu, I understand. I will handle this matter. You can go back first." Jiang Chen nodded, trying to keep his voice calm.

"Okay, Your Highness Prince of Yan, I will also inform General Xuanyuan tomorrow, and we will fight with all our might." After Xianyu Linyuan finished speaking, he turned and left. The door made a slight sound when it closed, breaking the silence in the room.

Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, feeling mixed emotions.

He wondered, if Yang Da and the others really came, why didn't they meet him? Could there be some unspeakable secret? Just as he was lost in thought, the night breeze outside gently blew the curtains, bringing a hint of coolness.

He walked out of the yard alone, raised his head slightly, and murmured to himself: "Yang Da? Yang Da?" The voice was particularly clear in the silent night, but the only response he got was the empty yard and the low sound of the wind.

He couldn't help wondering, was he wrong? Jiang Chen knew that if that person was highly skilled in martial arts but hadn't taken action, he probably wasn't a bad guy.

But no matter what, the situation in the capital is mysterious and he must find out.

Back in his room, Jiang Chen lay down, but his restlessness made it difficult to fall asleep. Even with his eyes closed, his mind raced with possibilities and doubts, his thoughts swirling endlessly. Finally, he drifted off to a deep sleep.

On the second day, at dawn, Jiang Chen slowly returned to Beijing with the Thirteenth Princess Jiang Sirou, Xianyu Linyuan, Xuanyuan Feiyan, Zuo Yongyu and others.

Although the road seemed calm on the surface, and Jiang Chen's martial arts skills were quite ordinary, he still had a vague feeling that someone was following him. He kept tilting his head, trying to catch that uneasy aura.

"General Xianyu, what happened last night?" Jiang Chen asked on horseback.

Xianyu Linyuan gripped the reins tightly, his expression solemn. "Your Highness, General Xuanyuan and I tried to track down the person who was following us several times yesterday, but each time we came back empty-handed. It seems the person is extremely cunning and we have never been able to catch him."

Jiang Chen frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy. He wondered: Could it be that they were secretly observing us? What was their intention? Was they monitoring us, or did they have other plans?

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared at the intersection ahead. Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat, and the faint sound of horse hooves reached his ears. He quickly turned his horse's head and galloped towards the shadow.

"General Xianyu, hurry! General Zuo, stay and protect Princess Thirteen!" Jiang Chen shouted, his tone filled with urgency.

Xianyu Linyuan and Xuanyuan Feiyan quickly caught up, and they rode their horses at full speed on the mountain road. The shadows of the trees on the roadside quickly retreated, and the sound of the wind in their ears seemed to be telling of some uneasy premonition.

Thirteenth Princess Jiang Sirou also wanted to go with him, but Zuo Yongyu followed him closely.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to approach the black shadow, the other party seemed to sense the danger, turned around and fled at an extremely fast speed, disappearing into the woods in the blink of an eye.

"Chase!" Jiang Chen shouted involuntarily, but he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart. Who was the person following them? Why was he so mysterious? What was he looking for?

Xianyu Linyuan and Xuanyuan Feiyan followed closely behind, the three of them tracking until they entered the depths of the forest. The trees around them grew denser and denser, the sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. The air was filled with a hint of moisture, as if even time had stood still.

"Your Highness, there is a cliff ahead, you must be careful!" Xuanyuan Feiyan reminded.

Jiang Chen nodded, then slowed his horse and stared straight ahead. Not long after, the dark shadow at the end of the cliff reappeared, seemingly waiting for them.

"Who are you?" Jiang Chen suddenly shouted, his voice echoing in the empty valley. The shadow stopped and turned around, but remained silent.

"Don't play tricks. If you are not an enemy, come out and meet me." Jiang Chen said in a firm tone, feeling uneasy.

The other party raised his head slightly, and Jiang Chen could only vaguely see the face through the shadows. Just as he wanted to get closer, the black shadow suddenly disappeared at the edge of the cliff, as if it had merged into the air.

"Stop!" Xianyu Linyuan shouted, but it was too late. The shadow had already vanished, leaving behind only a look of confusion and silence.

"The skills of this man in black are truly amazing." Xuanyuan Feiyan was panting, his eyes flashing with unwillingness. Although he was angry in his heart, he had to admire the other party's skills.

Jiang Chen's heart moved slightly, and he vaguely felt that this man in black was at least not an enemy.

Otherwise, during the pursuit, the man in black never made a move, and didn't even draw his weapon.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from the air, and a stone flew quickly, heading straight towards Jiang Chen.

"Hurry, be careful!" Xian Yu Linyuan shouted, and his body pushed forward reflexively, just knocking Jiang Chen away, and he himself faced the stone.

"Uh--" Jiang Chen's heart tightened. Before he could react, Xian Yu Linyuan's figure flashed before his eyes. A stone brushed past his ear with the sound of wind and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

He suddenly turned around, his eyes locked on Xianyu Linyuan, his heart filled with gratitude and shock. When he saw the stone on the ground, he realized that it was the attack that Xianyu Linyuan had blocked for him, and his heart was filled with emotion.

"General Xuanyuan, go after him!" Xuanyuan Feiyan said as he wanted to continue the pursuit, but Jiang Chen suddenly stopped him.

"Wait!" He hurriedly called out to Xuanyuan Feiyan, but he was a little hesitant.

"Your Highness Prince Yan, why don't you chase the criminals?" Xuanyuan Feiyan looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, her eyes full of confusion and anxiety.

"Because this man in black doesn't seem to have any ill intentions." Jiang Chen's voice was firm, yet a little heavy.

Xianyu Linyuan slowly stood up, picked up the stone on the ground, and after carefully examining it, he said, "General Xuanyuan, if the enemy truly wanted to attack us, then what would fly towards us would definitely not be stones, but darts."

Jiang Chen nodded, took a deep breath, and after thinking for a moment, he continued, "That's right, General Xianyu. Look at this stone. What's wrong with it?"
