Chapter 784 Ambush

at you're thinking. Did you buy that maid for me Aren't you just buying her to be your concubine""No way! Don't overthink it. If that were the case, we wouldn't buy maids at all; we'd just get a wife...The officials thought for a moment, and nodded. “Alright, then we’ll send you to the capital

But once you get there, figuring out how to get the Phoenix Eye's whereabouts is your own problem.

"Girl, good luck!" Night Wenyan was being escorted away by two soldiers, one on each side. Quan Qingfan panicked——"Wait! Where are you taking my sister Yaoyao, are you just going to go with them to Kyoto like that I'm going too! I'll go with you all." The officer turned to look at him, then shook his head. "No, you can't go..." 。We are only responsible for delivering those who have had their names inscribed on the Imperial List to Kyoto, and we cannot take any extra people. 。"Though you are her brother, this has nothing to do with you. Just stay home honestly!" "Then I'll tear open a royal lottery ticket too. Do you guys have any Where should I put it" 。"Don't be ridiculous!" the soldier roared, "Can't you understand when I speak to you And you dare to reveal the imperial decree again Do you think revealing it is a game Scram! If you keep babbling, I'll throw you in jail!" "But she's my sister!""She's your mother, and that doesn't mean you get to follow her. Unless you bring out a phoenix eye right now..." 。"I…" Quan Qingfan was truly helpless. He couldn't understand the soldiers, so he looked again at Ye Wenyan. 。Fortunately, Ye Wen also agreed to speak with him again, so he pleaded with the soldiers: "Please let me talk to my brother for a few words and make some arrangements for my family..." 。I, too, saw on the imperial decree that Your Majesty was seriously ill. I panicked and tore down the imperial decree, but my family doesn't know yet, and my brother hasn't made any preparations. I had to say something to reassure them. 。The officers and soldiers thought about it for a moment, feeling that this was reasonable, so they nodded: "Hurry up and finish a few sentences, then leave." 。" I have to go to Kyoto this time, and I need them to send me to the palace with such a blatant reason. " 。I know you must be thinking we should sneak into the Suyuan Imperial Palace at night. I could even cast an invisibility spell on us so that no one would see us. 。But that won't work, that only solves it temporarily, what we need to do takes more than just a moment. 。I need to stay in Suyuan Palace for a long time, and this imperial edict is the best opportunity right now. 。Stay here for now and wait to meet with my second brother. Tell him what happened, and then we'll go to Kyoto together. 。Don't worry, with my abilities, the people from Souyuan won't be able to do anything to me. 。When we meet in Kyoto, I'll try to arrange it for you. 。Quan Qingfan naturally knew she was capable, and just now she was only unprepared for a moment, which is why she panicked. 。At this point, seeing Ye Wen had already made arrangements, I nodded and raised my voice slightly: "Sister, don't worry! I'll take care of everything at home. I'll make sure our parents are well taken care of." 。When you go to Kyoto, be careful of the "phoenix eyes". If you can find them, go for it. If not, don't force it. 。This made all the soldiers laugh, "Can't find it Humph! The imperial edict has been posted, and if you can't produce the Phoenix Eye, you will be put to death!" 。"But my sister only has news about Phoenix Eyes, she can't necessarily find them!" "This matter isn't up to you two to decide!" 。“The officer let out a cold snort. “Once she revealed the Imperial Decree, she agreed to take the Phoenix Eye. We gave her a chance, too. If she had just said she was wrong at the time, we wouldn’t have made things difficult for a young girl.” 。Now she really has to go to Kyoto, so we can't blame ourselves. 。"Come on, don't dawdle! We need to hurry, Your Majesty is waiting!" Quan Qingfan watched as they took Ye Wenyan away, his heart filled with worry. 。But even if we were in a hurry, there was nothing we could do. It was Ye Wenyan who voluntarily went with them. He wouldn't accept it even if he had to. 。Watching the people gradually disappear, and getting into a carriage, someone beside him said: "Hey buddy, your sister is really brave!" 。A young woman dared to expose the imperial decree and even went with those soldiers to Kyoto. 。"You can tell your family about this. Who knows if you'll even be able to come back!"

Others heard this and someone else chimed in, "That's not necessarily true. What if the young lady really has news of the phoenix eye Then she would become His Majesty's savior..." 。Haven't you seen the Imperial list As long as you can take out Phoenix Eye and save the Emperor, your family will be protected by the imperial clan for generations to come. 。"This is great news!" This sparked a question from someone asking Quan Qingfan, “Where are you from We consider each other acquaintances now. When your family gets prosperous in the future, don't forget about us." 。"Brother, if you're not in a hurry to go home, why don't we go have some drinks" Quan Qingfan had no mood to drink with them. He quickly made an excuse to go home and directly got into the carriage. 。The carriage couldn't travel too far, after all, they still needed to wait for the night flying boat. So, they circled around Xingzhou City a few times before finding a secluded alleyway and stopping there. 。The coachman asked him, “Young Master Er, can you find this place”Quan Qingfan wasn’t sure either, but he still felt like he should believe Ye Feizhou. After all, there was no other way. 。Fortunately, after half an hour, Ye Fei Zhou finally found them. He immediately glared at Quan Qingfan and asked, “Why did you let her go to Kyoto alone She’s going to expose the imperial list, why didn't you stop her”Quan Qingfan was also exasperated, “Young Master Ye, can a mortal like us really stop your family ancestor What she does is beyond our control. If I could have controlled her, wouldn’t I have stopped her from going to the W'anhai Sea alone back in Haixian Town” 。Ye Fei Zhou had no choice, he knew Quan Qing Fan was right, so he simply told the coachman: "Let's go, we also go to Kyoto" 。" The name "Yue" was given to Suyuan Kyoto, according to legend, because it was the name of the most beloved woman of the first king of Suyuan. 。From Star Prefecture to Moon City, riding a horse non-stop day and night would take seven or eight days. By carriage, it would take more than half a month. 。But they couldn't ride fast horses because the roads were unfamiliar, the wind and sand were strong, the weather was unpredictable, and rushing along made them more likely to be targeted, so they had no choice but to continue traveling in a carriage, enduring the slow pace. 。To avoid attracting attention, they had their carriage modified on the road to look more like that of a native from Suo's original country. They then blended in with a merchant caravan, which prevented them from being noticed by others. 。However, they hadn't gone more than five days when they encountered bandits. 。This caravan is transporting cloth, a lot of which is silk from the Central Plains. 。Though Su Yuan is meticulous about batik, it's ultimately a domestic craft. It would be valuable in Northern Qi due to its novelty, but holds little monetary worth on their own soil. 。Unless it's wax-resist dyeing made by a master craftsman, the rest commonly found on the market are not even worth stealing by thieves. 。But the silk from the Central Plains was different. Silk was very valuable in the Northern Qi kingdom, and getting it to Suoyuan was almost like having gold. 。The bandits, seeing that the merchant caravan carried two carts of silk, went mad with greed and plundered frantically. 。The caravan risked their lives to protect the goods, several were lost in the process. Finally, Ye Fei Zhou had no choice but to intervene, saving the remaining lives. 。Though people were rescued, the goods were lost with little remaining. 。The caravan could go no further and immediately turned back. 。As the caravan moved on, Ye Fei Zhou and their carriage had to leave it and head to Yuecheng on their own. Luckily, they were already very close to Yisha City at this point. Their carriage rushed through the night and finally entered the city just before the gates of Yisha City closed for the night. 。Suyuan, like Beizhou, had a curfew. However, sunset here was relatively late, around the time of Xu (half past nine), when it just began to get dark. 。Ye Fei Zhou found an inn and took three rooms. 。The innkeeper, seeing that the three men wanted three rooms, thought it a bit wasteful. He kindly suggested, "Actually, one upper room would be enough. The two young masters could share a room, and the coachman could stay on the first floor." 。"

Night Fei Zhou didn't even think before shaking his head, "Three rooms is three rooms, grandpa isn't short on silver."

Upon hearing this, he stopped talking further. After all, unlike the bustling city of Xinzhu bordering Beiji with numerous merchants and inns always full, Yisha City wasn't as crowded. 。In Yisha City, the inn usually doesn't have many guests. The guest rooms are often empty. If they can sell one more room, they make an extra profit from that room. 。If people are willing to pay silver for a spacious place, there's no need to stop them. 。However, Quan Qingfan knew why Ye Fei Zhou insisted on sleeping in a separate room and even snickered. This angered Ye Fei Zhou so much that he didn't want to deal with him anymore. 。But it didn't work again, because during the caravan robbery, Quan Qingfan was injured. 。At that time, a large knife directly chopped onto his back, blood immediately soaking through his clothes, the wound was deep. 。All along the way, he used good wound medicine to stop the bleeding, but after all, the wound was too big. He couldn't carry enough wound medicine with him. He had to find a place to stay first and then seek a doctor to properly bandage it. 。Although they had booked three rooms, in order to look after Quan Qingfan, Ye Fei Zhou first went to his room and instructed Er to call a doctor. 。Seeing my confusion, he explained: "We came all the way from Xingzhou City. Our carriage overturned on the road, and we have some scratches." 。Please have the doctor come take a look and prescribe some medicine. 。"He agreed and went, but as he left he said: 'I've been thinking you must be from Xingzhou. Only people from Xingzhou have that accent, it sounds a bit like the folks from the Central Plains.'" 。" This got Ye Fei's heart racing again. He could even tell their dialect from a distance of two shops, so when they reached Yuecheng, if he spoke just once, his identity would be exposed immediately. This wouldn't be a good thing at all. " 。He confided his worries to Quan Qingfan, hoping that Quan Qingfan could come up with a solution. 。Unfortunately, Quan Qingfan didn't have any serious ideas either. After a long pause, he blurted out: "Why don't we learn it We still have some time before reaching Yuecheng. Let's use this time to learn Su Yuan's accent." 。“It’s a relief that it’s just an accent, the words are still the same.” 。If everything had to be different, there would be nothing to learn. You'd give yourself away as soon as you opened your mouth. 。"

Ye Fei Zhou thought that this prince was too unreliable, so he didn't want to pay any more attention to him. He just took the white cloth towel Er Gang had brought over, wet it with water and handed it to him to wipe his face

" 。 。The doctor will be here soon, so we need to wipe off the ointment first, otherwise he won't be able to tell how serious your wound is. 。"

Quan Qingfan was very obedient, taking off his clothes willingly and letting Ye Fei Zhou rub his back little by little. >>> 。As he wiped, he suddenly thought of something very important.Madam now. 。Every single one of them, kill them all!” She uttered these words with a bone-chilling coldness that emanated from her very being. Even Quan Qingcheng and the several princes present coul...
