Chapter 201 Is there anyone in these delegations who wants to kill me?
When Xiu Luoran returned, Yi Jingxuan had not yet reached the foot of the mountain.
Xiu Luoran asked Yi Jingxuan: "Didn't you go to the Third Prince's Mansion with Yi Jingge? Why did you run to the mountain and be chased by someone?"
"Miss Xiu, that tall and thin guy..."
"Buried too."
That is to say, he died too.
Yi Jingxuan said: "Old Seven and I hadn't even arrived at the Third Prince's residence when Old Seven was called away by someone sent by the Queen.
I wanted to go back home, but found that I was being followed on the way.
I've really had enough. Does he think I don't have a temper? Why does he attack me again and again?
I deliberately led people to the mountain, preparing to catch those who were following me in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, this time he actually sent dozens of people to kill me.
There were eight hidden guards and secret guards around me, all of them were led away, leaving me alone.
If I hadn't met you, I would have died on the mountain today.
There are about a dozen archers, right?"
Yi Jingxuan thought that if Xiu Luoran didn't come, even if he could defeat the tall and thin guy and the others, he would eventually be shot to death by arrows.
"There are sixteen archers. The bows and arrows they use are pretty good. Send someone to take them away when you have time. I buried them under a big tree and marked them."
"it is good."
Yi Jingxuan didn't know what to feel. He was saved by Xiu Luoran again.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xiu Luoran called out to Tayun:
"Yi Jingxuan, where's your horse?"
"Run away."
It's getting dark soon. If we go back too late, we won't be able to get in because the city gates are closed.
Xiu Luoran could climb over the city wall and get in, but Tayun and Yi Jingxuan couldn't.
"Yi Jingxuan, now is not the time to talk about rules and etiquette, let's ride back on one horse.
If you can’t get into town tonight, you’ll probably be in trouble.”
"Thank you very much."
Xiu Luoran took off the backpack and put it on Yi Jingxuan.
The two men got on the horses, Xiu Luoran sat in the front and Yi Jingxuan sat in the back. He hugged Xiu Luoran's waist to prevent him from falling off.
Xiu Luoran told Tayun to run faster and make sure to get into the city before the city gates closed.
There was no need to be so anxious, because Xiu Luoran was planning to enter the city from another gate. She was afraid that Yi Jingshi's troops might be ambushing at the South Gate.
If you go through other city gates, you will waste a lot of time.
Tayun ran quickly on the official road.
Yi Jingxuan hugged Xiu Luoran's waist neither loosely nor tightly. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little difficult to breathe.
After entering the city, Xiu Luoran asked:
"Yi Jingxuan, do you want me to accompany you home?"
"No, if my home wasn't safe, I would have died eight hundred times already."
"That's good."
Finally, Xiu Luoran said:
"Your existence has already blocked some people's paths, and your tolerance will only make people think that you are easy to bully.
If you don't die, it will be a hidden danger to some people.
Here’s a piece of advice for you: there is strength in numbers.”
Xiu Luoran left, and Yi Jingxuan kept repeating those five words:
“There is strength in numbers, there is power in numbers!”
When Xiu Luoran returned home, he told his eldest brother Xiu Lingce what had happened on the mountain:
"Brother, will Yi Jingxuan help the Third Prince?"
Xiu Lingce nodded: "Yes, although he is sometimes with Yi Jingyang, he has always been helping the Third Prince, but many people don't know it.
But he only helps with small, insignificant things.”
"I'm telling him to help you guys, and I hope he can figure it out."
"He'll figure it out, he's a smart guy and he'll know what's best for him.
Luoluo, in a little over a month, the envoys from various countries will arrive, so you must be careful then."
Xiu Luoran was very puzzled: "Brother, why should I be careful? Could it be that someone in these delegations wants to kill me?"
“That’s not the case. Among these envoys, there are two princesses who are said to be very willful and capricious.
I am afraid that if you go out on the street, you might accidentally clash with them, which would be very troublesome, after all, it involves the issue of diplomatic relations."
"Why did the delegation come to Tianhe? They brought the princess with them. Are they here to marry a princess?"
"No, it's just a courtesy visit every three years. To put it bluntly, it's just a way for countries to test each other.
It's not a proper state visit, so the important ministers won't come. If we send someone else, it won't be important enough, so we have to send a member of the royal family."
"I understand, brother. How long will they stay in Tianhe?"
"It will take at least three months, because it's really not easy to come here."
"This is an opportunity. Do you think Yi Jingshi will take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble?"
"It's very likely. Not only him, but anyone else could be the possibility.
You probably don't know that Han Jingrao is back, you have to be careful."
Han Jingrao is back?
Last time, Xiu Luoran came up with a series of plans to deal with Han Jingrao, but because Han Jingrao ran away, half of them were not implemented in time.
Now that Han Jingrao is back, Xiu Luoran wonders, should he continue?
To deal with Han Jingrao, I have to arrange things at home first.
"Brother, did my sister-in-law tell me when my second brother and Xiu Lingqi will get married?"
"Your second brother and Xiu Lingqi's wedding date is coming soon, and the Xiu Yiran sisters will have to wait until next year."
Xiu Luoran thought that in order for his two brothers' weddings to go smoothly, he had to eliminate the destabilizing factors first.
As for Han Jingrao, it’s better for her to stay at home and stop showing off.
The visit of this diplomatic delegation was a variable. For some reason, Xiu Luoran suddenly remembered a TV drama about princesses in his previous life, in which a princess from a foreign country came to visit, and the princesses of the local dynasty fought with the princess of the foreign country.
Besides, since the princess is here, maybe the prince or the king will come too.
If they were to get married, haha, it would be lively.
"Brother, will our Tianhe marry a princess or a noble lady from a noble family to a foreign country? Or marry a princess from a foreign country?"
Xiu Lingce thought for a moment and said, "Well, there is a precedent for this before. What have you come up with?"
"I think the marriages between the two countries' dignitaries are none of my business and I can't control them, but I can make money from them."
Xiu Lingce immediately stopped him: "Don't do that. If they take a fancy to something and ask the emperor for some back, do you think we should give it to them or not?
If we don’t give it to you, we will seem stingy. If we give it to you, are you willing?”
"Why, they don't even pay for our things?"
"They might give money, but if the emperor shows up..."
Okay, forget it.
Xiu Luoran returned to his yard and began to prepare medicine for Han Jingrao.
