It was already midnight when Jinyiwei, who was the first, returned to Jinling.

Xue Yan has been very pestering recently.

The dam repairing progress is very fast. In the past two days, Jun Huailang has already started to adjust the dam blueprint in his hand. He counted the days and waited until he adjusted the drawings, just in time to start the construction of the dam.

At that time, what he has to do, even if it is completely completed.

He has been extremely busy these days, but His Royal Highness King Guangling, who should not be busy, is not busy at all.

He was so free that he could accompany Jun Huailang to draw pictures in the study every day without disturbing him, so he found some books to accompany him to read. , After he finished processing, let Jinbao take it out.

When he was bored again, he would rather sit there and stare at Jun Huailang rather than take it away.

Therefore, every time Jun Huailang raised his head inadvertently, he could see Xue Yan looking at him.

When they met his eyes, Xue Yan smiled at him.

He was born sharp and handsome, and he was clearly a fierce person who was not easy to deal with, but when he laughed, he had a natural sultry energy, a bit of a ruffian, but he was very well-behaved.

Like a tame wolf.

It was still the same that night.

Jun Huailang was thinking about the construction period on the construction site, so he wanted to finish the drawings in advance and compare them. After all, one day's work on the construction site will cost an extra day's worth of money. The cost is so large that it is easy to have a shortage when half of the repair is completed.

Xue Yan couldn't stop him, so he had to paint with him.

He asked Jinbao to deliver supper, and after watching Jun Huailang finish eating, he sat on the couch beside the desk under the window, reading boredly.

He glanced at the book, then looked at Jun Huailang two or three times.

When Jun Huailang was working, he was always focused and hard to be disturbed. Even so, in front of Xue Yan, he would involuntarily get distracted, occasionally raising his head and looking at him.

Silent and quiet, but there is an ambiguous breath that slowly drifts away.

After drawing for a while, Jun Huailang felt a little pain in his neck. He sat up, raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck.

I saw Xue Yan stood up.

"Tired?" he asked as he stepped forward.

Jun Huailang put one hand on the back of his neck, moved a few times, and said, "I'm not tired, it's just a little sore."

"What do you have to do in one day or two?" Xue Yan raised his hand, placed it on his shoulder and neck naturally, and slowly rubbed it for him.

He was already strong in his hands, but now he carefully restrained his strength and rubbed him neither light nor heavy. After rubbing a few times, Jun Huailang put his hand down, and the man relaxed, squinting and leaning on the chair.

"There's money spent on the construction site." He turned his head sideways, his side face just pressed against Xue Yan's wrist, and said lazily.

"How much is missing, I'll make it up for you." Xue Yan was leaning against him like a cat, and his tone softened.

Jun Huailang laughed softly.

"Public is public, private is private, how can you make up for it like this?" he said.

Xue Yan clicked his tongue.

"For public and private purposes, you should all go to bed now," he said.

The two were chatting together, but Jun Huailang only felt that the exhaustion all over his body gradually disappeared.

At this moment, the voice of Jinbao sounded outside the door.

"Master, the people who went to Chang'an have returned." Jinbao said.

"Let him in." Xue Yan said.

Jun Huailang was about to get up, but was pushed back by Xue Yan, still rubbing his shoulders and neck slowly.

"Okay, no need..." Jun Huailang whispered.

Xue Yan didn't seem to hear it.

So, when Jinbao led the Jinyiwei in, what he saw was the scene of his master rubbing his shoulders diligently with His Royal Highness.

However, as Xue Yan's subordinates, it is basic literacy to not watch what should not be seen, nor listen to what should not be heard.

Jin Bao bowed and stepped back, and Jin Yiwei knelt down on one knee in front of Xue Yan.

"How's it going?" Xue Yan glanced at him and asked.

The Jin Yiwei clasped his fists and said, "As expected by the master. His Majesty has already started planning to use troops against the King of Yunnan, and has already issued an imperial decree for his subordinates to bring them back."

The Jin Yiwei who came here came back first to report to Xue Yan. The remaining few people are still waiting in Chang'an at this time, waiting for the officials who announced the decree to return together.

"What does the imperial edict say?" Xue Yan asked.

The Jin Yiwei said: "Your Majesty's imperial edict said that the King of Yunnan was rebellious and intended to cause trouble. Your Majesty will immediately order troops and send troops south to Lingnan. Please wait in Jinling, and when the big troops arrive, they will go to Lingnan to quell the chaos."

Xue Yan laughed softly.

Jun Huailang, who was sitting there listening, frowned gradually, and asked in confusion, "Why didn't your majesty say, where and how many soldiers to order?"

How can such important information be vague

Jin Yiwei shook his head and said, "It was not mentioned in the imperial edict."

Xue Yan laughed.

"Sure enough," he said.

Jun Huailang looked at him puzzled.

"Jin Yiwei went back to Chang'an secretly. After entering Chang'an City, only Dongchang could catch their traces." Xue Yan said. "I knew I couldn't hide it from Dongchang's eyes. Now I'm just looking at what they plan to do."

"Then, what did they do?" Jun Huailang looked at him.

Xue Yan's subordinates still kept pressing and kneading, and his tone was light, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

"The one who can make the emperor make such a vague decree must be someone he doesn't think it should be." Xue Yan said. "There is no one else except Xu Zonglun."

"Xu Zonglun?" Jun Huailang frowned. "Isn't General Xu the son of Xu Xiang?"

Xue Yan smiled lightly.

"Naturally, the emperor was not cruel and wanted to give them one last chance," he said. "If the Xu family can remove the king of Yunnan for the emperor, and then take the opportunity to spit all the money they greedy back to the treasury, then the Xu family can still use it with the emperor, as long as he turns a blind eye and ignores the past. That's it."

Jun Huailang's hand could not help tightening.

Sure enough, he discovered in his previous life that this king has always been ruthless.

He had kept a low profile for so many years, and did not dare to cause any trouble to the emperor.

But now, the Xu family's two crimes of embezzlement are all done, and there is sufficient evidence to confirm that they are the ones who did it. But even so, Emperor Qingping gave them a chance to survive.

For Emperor Qingping, what was more important than laws and human feelings was the role of these people.

It's useless. If you kill it, you will kill it, and you don't need to go to the bottom of what's right and wrong. And useful, even if a crime is committed, it can also give a chance to be extra-judicial.

Jun Huailang took a deep breath.

"What's wrong?" Xue Yan keenly sensed the change in his mood, lowered his head and asked.

Jun Huailang shook his head.

It's all in the past, and it's not worth it to go to the top of the horns because of this in this life.

Jun Huailang calmed down and said, "Although this is the case, there must be someone who can help the emperor to make such a will?"

Xue Yan hummed.

"It's the Xu family who are helping themselves," he said.

"The Xu family?" Jun Huailang asked. "How did they get the news?"

He paused and looked up at Xue Yan.

"... Dongchang?" he said.

In Chang'an, apart from Dongchang, no one has the ability to see the sky.

... But isn't Dongchang in Xue Yan's camp

Xue Yan hummed.

"The East Factory leaked the rumors to the Xu family and let the Xu family make trouble." He said.

Seeing Jun Huailang's surprised expression, he smiled in a low voice, raised his hand and rubbed his face.

"What kind of benevolence and righteousness can those people in Dongchang talk about?" he said. "What they want is not a master, but an obedient puppet."

Jun Huailang looked at him.

I saw Xue Yan said lightly: "They originally thought that I could be such a puppet, but now it seems that it is completely beyond their control."

"Then why did they help the Xu family?" Jun Huailang asked.

Xue Yan said, "Xu wanted to borrow the Xu family to break my leg to make me obey."

Jun Huailang was dumbfounded for a while.

He knew that court battles, especially those involving the heirs of the harem, were especially messy and dirty. However, when such a thing happened to the people around him, he still couldn't help feeling distressed.

He raised his hand and took Xue Yan's hand.

Xue Yan held him back.

"Then what's the situation in Chang'an now?" He asked Jin Yiwei again.

The Jin Yiwei said: "When your subordinates left Chang'an, His Majesty was gathering troops. It is reported that His Majesty summoned soldiers and horses from a pass in the north of Chang'an City.

Jun Huailang felt that Xue Yan was holding his hand and tightened a little.

After a while, he let out a low laugh, his voice a little hoarse.

"… Sure enough," he said.

Jun Huailang hurriedly looked at him.

Seeing Xue Yan pursing his lips, he seemed to be holding back something. After a while, the corners of his lips twitched and he smiled sarcastically, "I've been smart all my life, but I can't figure out this kind of thing."

Jun Huailang vaguely noticed that Xue Yan was talking about Emperor Qingping.

Seeing Xue Yan instructing Jin Yiwei to say: "Go, gather all the people, and set off with me tomorrow morning."

He paused, then said: "Let Duan Shishi go first, and after returning, stay at the Yongning Gongfu, and make no mistake."

Jun Huailang hurriedly stood up: "Are you going back to Chang'an?"

Xue Yan looked at him.

"He just thought he gave the Xu family a way to survive and broke their spines, so he could obey him even more in the future." Xue Yan said. "But he forgot that what the Xu family wanted was never these."

Jun Huailang paused and said slowly.

"So, when the troops are under the city, it is a good time to cause chaos." He said. "If...they live with His Majesty's court, after a few years, they still don't know what the situation will be, so they have to give it a shot. If they can change the dynasty and push the new emperor, then they can turn around and regain power?"

Xue Yan nodded.

"I have to go back." He seemed relaxed. "... I can't really make Xue Yunhong the emperor."

But Jun Huailang could see that what he said didn't quite match his thoughts.

There was still a hint of panic in his eyes.

Jun Huailang could probably understand him.

Emperor Qing Ping was extremely selfish, and because of a piece of hexagram, he left Xue Yan in Yanyun without asking. After he came back from a desperate fight, he abused him many times because of this.

But after that, just because the hexagram was unraveled, and it seemed that there was a way to crack it, Emperor Qing Ping could feel at ease and become his good father again.

Capricious, love wants to live, evil wants to die, but this person is Xue Yan's biological father.

Before that, he had never received the slightest father's love, and now, in addition to the extreme hatred for that person, he also gave birth to some fetters that he could not stop himself.

Human nature is so complicated that no one can do anything about it.

Jun Huailang pushed away the chair and hugged Xue Yan face to face.

Xue Yan paused, then raised his arms and put his arms around his shoulders.

"If he dies, he will trouble me again." He gritted his teeth.

"Well, I know." Jun Huailang said softly. "But... Xu Zonglun's troops will surely be able to surround Chang'an City. You bring these Jinyi guards back, how can you fight against them?"

Xue Yan said, "I also planned for the worst."

"Um?"

"The Jin Yiwei who came back to Beijing to send their performances, I had them split into two groups, all the way to Chang'an and all the way to the North," he said. "At this time, Yanyun Iron Cavalry has already set off, lurking in the north of Chang'an City, just waiting for my order."
