Jiang Fuquan's expression was solemn, and his eyes were full of vigilance as he stared at the three people in front of him.

He thought to himself, "These three are obviously wanted criminals by the imperial court! How could they be good people? Our prince is still too naive and kind. I have to keep a close eye on them..."

The other secret guards of the Eastern Palace around were staring at the three people behind Huai Yan as if they were facing a great enemy, as if as long as Jun Xiuyuan and the others made the slightest movement, the secret guards would immediately take action to capture them.

However, the three of them had a strong aura and sharp eyes, which made people feel intimidated.

"Your Highness, don't worry. I and your subordinates will protect you to the death! We will never allow anyone to harm you!" said Han Li, the leader of the secret guards, with a serious face.

Upon hearing this, all the secret guards nodded in agreement, as if they were willing to go through fire and water for Huai Yan, even to the point of death.

Seeing this, Huai Yan couldn't help but frown slightly and slowly turned his head away.

His eyes happened to meet the gazes of the three people.

In fact, Huai Yan knew it very well.

Jun Xiuyuan and his companions just happened to land in the northern border of Daqi when they descended from the Tiancang Realm to the mortal world.

It is really far-fetched to say that the tragic deaths of 100,000 soldiers have anything to do with them.

At this moment, the three people's faces were full of resentment, as if they had suffered a great injustice. They looked at Huai Yan pitifully and aggrievedly.

When Jun Xiuyuan and others woke up after going to the lower world, they found themselves in a wasteland at the border of Daqi and Zhao State. There were piles of corpses all around them, which was really shocking.

It turned out that in the ninth year of Yuanhe, the State of Zhao suddenly launched an invasion of the northern border of Daqi.

Emperor Yan Yongshou of Daqi made a prompt decision and sent Prince Ning, a prince of a different surname, to serve as the Grand Marshal of the Army of the World, and led a full army of 100,000 to the northern border to resist foreign enemies.

The war was extremely fierce, and both sides paid a heavy price. It lasted for half a year.

Xie Xishou, the right prime minister of the Great Qi State, was so bold as to embezzle more than one million taels of military pay!

Not only that, the food and fodder that should have been supplied in time was delayed and failed to reach the front line.

It was the coldest time of the year, and the weather was extremely cold. The soldiers were short of food and could only rely on ice and snow to fill their stomachs and barely maintain their lives.

Without enough warm clothing to withstand the severe cold, thousands of people froze to death, and the battle line was in jeopardy.

However, King Ning always firmly stationed at the front line and did not allow the Zhao cavalry to invade at all!

But who could have imagined that the Xie family's military supervisor, who was sent by the imperial court at that time, would resort to insidious and cunning tactics when facing the battle.

He first used sleeping pills to secretly knock out the commander-in-chief, Prince Ning, and many generals, and then tampered with the hooves of the horses of Prince Ning's cavalry army, making it impossible for the horses to walk normally.

Immediately afterwards, this hateful Xie family military supervisor sent someone to steal the troop deployment map carefully designed by King Ning.

He insisted on his own way and ordered the army to advance deep into the heart of Yanmen Pass in the northern border.

Head to the Yandang Mountain Grand Canyon to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Zhao cavalry who came to lure the enemy.

You know, the terrain of the Yandang Mountain Grand Canyon is extremely steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is an excellent place for an army to ambush.

Not only were all of Zhao's elite troops ambushed there, but even worse, the enemy had also prepared a large amount of gunpowder and kerosene, attempting to kill all of Daqi's 100,000 soldiers there.

All the cavalry formations used by the Daqi army have been clearly understood by the enemy.

So the battle just started not long ago.

Prince Ning's army quickly fell into a passive situation and was defeated and abandoned by two small teams of Zhao cavalry.

What is most infuriating is that at this critical moment, because the Xie family had tampered with the horseshoes before, the war horses' hooves were injured one after another. The war horses, unable to bear the pain, went crazy and out of control on the spot.

In this way, the Daqi army, which had lost the advantage of cavalry, was completely in a desperate situation. The Zhao army, which had been ambushed all around, took the opportunity to throw gunpowder, kerosene and rocks on the mountain. Countless soldiers of King Ning's army were killed by the explosions and burned to death, and there were only a few survivors.

In the end, Daqi was defeated, and not a single soldier was spared! Prince Ning and his generals who arrived later were also shot dead on the spot, their deaths were extremely tragic!

One hundred thousand heroic souls, all patriotic and loyal, many of them still underage, some still unmarried and childless. Their parents, siblings, children, lovers and relatives, all eagerly awaited the arrival of the Great Qi, yet only their own souls arrived.

Yanmen Pass was lost, the city was burned, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and countless people were killed or injured. The Zhao army marched straight down and captured several cities in succession.

After Jun Xiuyuan and the other two and the cultivators from the Tiancang Realm woke up from King Ning and his remnants, they were horrified to see the 100,000 soldiers who were killed. They rushed to the front line immediately and repelled the Zhao army.

But despite this, the defeat in the northern border battlefield still made the emperor very angry. In addition, Xie Shuangyun fanned the flames, and Yan Yongshou immediately ordered the execution of King Ning and all the generals.

Prince Ning led the remaining troops and returned to the capital to answer for his crime.

Among those who returned were the Ning Wang's cavalry, with less than a thousand men left.

However, these thousand people are not ordinary people.

They are the great masters of cultivation who came from the lower realm of Tiancang Realm.

Among them are many ancestors and leaders of major families and sects.

................

Huai Yan felt distressed when he saw that the three of them looked haggard and like refugees fleeing famine.

"Did you rush back from the northern border overnight?"

Jiang Fuquan's brows twitched, wondering if His Highness actually seemed familiar with Prince Ning and the others. Yet, they clearly had no direct contact with each other. Furthermore, Prince Ning, holding the military power of Daqi, was not someone to be trifled with. Even the Xie family was wary of him.

"Your Highness, please be careful..."

He whispered a reminder from the side.

"It's okay, Jiang Fuquan, they won't hurt me." Huai Yan smiled and shook his head.

Jiang Fuquan was worried and didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

Jun Xiuyuan, standing opposite, nodded and said, "Yanyan, I am now the Prince of Ning of Daqi, Aci is the General of Zhenyuan, and Acheng is my military advisor. Following the defeat on the northern frontier battlefield, the three of us have been summoned to the capital. I'm afraid we will be severely punished by the emperor. The Xie family will definitely thoroughly accuse us of our crimes tonight so they can get rid of us!"

Upon hearing this, Huai Yan frowned slightly: "The Xie family is ambitious and has been collaborating with the enemy and treasonous, plotting to usurp the throne for a long time. If the current emperor had not been so incompetent and deceived by the Xie family, he would have eliminated them long ago.

Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you three."

There was a cold light flashing in Huai Yan's eyes. He turned around and said something shocking to the stunned Jiang Fuquan.

"Jiang Fuquan, you must immediately arrange for all three of them to be admitted to the Eastern Palace. You must choose the highest-ranking one, something like the Super-Rank Imperial Noble. I think that's quite good!!!"

Jiang Fuquan: “........…”

A group of East Palace secret guards: "............."

Jiang Fu was extremely shocked, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched, and he was almost going crazy.

This is really true that you can't judge a book by its cover.

His Highness seemed very cautious on weekdays, but at the critical moment, he actually wanted to dance on the top of the Xie family's head.

Oh My God.

If His Highness really did this.

Shu Guifei must have been so angry that she climbed up the roof and cursed the Crown Prince.

All the East Palace secret guards were disheveled in the wind.

Jiang Fuquan earnestly advised, "Your Highness! The status of a Super-Rank Imperial Noble is equal to that of Concubine Shu! If she knew that three imperial criminals were on equal footing with her, she would surely cause a scene in the Eastern Palace!"

"I am the emperor's wife, what does it have to do with her!" Huai Yan raised his head, glanced at him coldly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Patting his shoulder, he comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiao Quanzi, don't be afraid. I have my own way to deal with it! Tonight, I will make sure the Xie family has no chance of fighting back!"

Jiang Fuquan was embarrassed: "Your Highness, I'm afraid the Emperor won't agree."

Huai Yan said calmly, "He will agree."

"Wait outside the door, the four of us will be here soon."

Jiang Fuquan's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "Never mind, an immortal is not one he can afford to offend. It would be best if he followed orders." The man before him was no longer the lonely and helpless little prince of the past. He was an immortal, possessing the power to change the world and reach all the heavens and earth. He was an immortal who could bring hope to Daqi.

"Yes, I obey your command." Jiang Fuquan bowed respectfully and was about to leave.

Huai Yan then solemnly instructed, "Jiang Fuquan, send someone to find some doctors to treat the beggars' injuries."

"Yes, Your Highness. I've made note of this..."

Jiang Fuquan once again agreed respectfully, but before leaving, he still glanced at the three people with concern.

Finally, he sighed helplessly and slowly retreated.

"You can withdraw as well." Huai Yan waved to Han Li and other secret guards.

No one dared to delay for even a moment and retreated as ordered.

Huai Yan turned around and stared at the three of them, saying in a deep voice, "Let's go and find out what's going on at the Wanshou Festival~

But before that, we must go to the Xie Mansion and search for evidence. Tonight, I will make the Xie family pay for the unjust deaths of a hundred thousand heroes. They colluded with foreign enemies, plotted the murder of so many soldiers, and set fire to Yanmen Pass. Even if they were killed ten thousand times, it would be difficult to atone for their sins.

Jun Xiuyuan and the other two looked solemn, sighing deeply. The wars and slaughters of the mortal world were always so cold and merciless. The lives of mortals were as worthless as grass in the eyes of the power-hungry, greedy rulers of the Xie family.

What is the difference between the Xie family of Daqi and the evil demons of Tiancang Continent!!!

Outside, the north wind blew in, carrying with it the trembling of the fat butler who was shivering with cold.

"Then, Your Highness, should we go to the Xie Mansion or Zuihualou? I heard that a famous courtesan from Dongshengjing has come there~~~~ Your Highness, do you want to have a happy marriage and take him into the Eastern Palace?"

Jun Xiuyuan, Shen Ci, Biancheng: ???

Huai Yan: “………..”

The three men's faces turned dark as they stared at Huai Yan with eyes full of disbelief and shock.

Huai Yan's eyes were evasive and his face turned dark.

"Jiang Fuquan, shut up and drive your carriage!"

Seeing that he couldn't have four happy events, Jiang Fuquan was actually a little disappointed and felt a little regretful.

She said, "Oh, okay, Your Highness. When Your Highness wants that courtesan, just tell me and I'll send someone to arrange it right away. Anyway, we have so many beauties in the East Palace, and having more people will make it more lively, and Your Highness will also find it pleasing to the eye..."

"Well, the courtesan?" Jun Xiuyuan, Shen Ci, and Bian Cheng all came over and surrounded the person.

"Four joys coming together?"

"There are so many beauties, it's a feast for the eyes?"

Ahhh Jiang Fuquan, you are dead tonight! Huai Yan stepped back, his heart emitting a continuous sharp explosion.

He looked at the three men with dangerous auras and dark faces, and suddenly smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, don't listen to his nonsense~"

"How could I be that kind of person..."

"I'm not interested in courtesans, nor in beauties."

Jun Xiuyuan reached out and pinched Huai Yan's waist vigorously, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones. He said in a low voice: "Hmm? Really? Who is Yan Yan going to Zui Hua Lou to find?"

Shen Ci held Huai Yan's hand, and said in a wronged tone, shaking it: "Tonight, it's your wedding night, Yan Yan is not allowed to go anywhere..."

Huai Yan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What wedding night? I was just talking about it.

At this moment, Bian Cheng's slightly cool hand gently stroked Huai Yan's blushing cheek, and coaxed her softly, her voice ambiguous: "We will serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well..."

The three men had burning eyes and dangerous expressions as they approached step by step. Huai Yan sensed the danger and immediately stepped back in fear.

Why did he feel like these three people wanted to swallow him up? It was so scary.

He couldn't bear the pressure of one, and he would die in the bedroom with three...

Huai Yan smiled stiffly: "Haha, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I won't go to Zuihualou today. I won't go there in the future..."

"I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You guys, do whatever you want..."

Huai Yan panicked and was about to run.

She was picked up by a pair of big hands from the man and instantly moved into the carriage.
