Ye Heng looked at Xiao Sanlang who was approaching slowly, and smiled softly.

"Prince Xiao really treats guests first. He even went out of the city to see Ye off. It's really touching. However, Prince Xiao seems to be very tired."

His eyes fell on Xiao Sanlang's somewhat messy clothes, and he seemed to be smiling.

Xiao Sanlang turned over and jumped off the horse.

There was a lot of mud on the corners of his clothes, and his face looked very tired, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Xiao tried his chess skills against Ye Cheng that day, but he was not able to enjoy it to the fullest. It is a pity."

Prime Minister Ye is going back to China today. Before leaving, Xiao wants to play a game of chess with Prime Minister Ye. I wonder if Prime Minister Ye would be willing to accompany him?"

Ye Heng was a little surprised, with a helpless look on his face.

"It's not that I don't want to accompany you. It's actually that Ye didn't carry chess in his luggage..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a young general holding a chessboard in his hand, walking over with two boxes of chess pieces on it, and handed it to Xiao Sanlang.

Xiao Sanlang chuckled, "It doesn't matter, Xiao brought the chess pieces. Prime Minister Ye doesn't want to play chess, but is he afraid of losing to me?"

Ye Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Inspiring generals? This trick doesn't work for me."

Xiao Sanlang stroked the chessboard, "It's not to provoke the general, but to sincerely invite me. Prime Minister Ye didn't agree. Since he was not afraid of losing, he was in a hurry to leave.

The road from Yunzhao to Xiye has just begun, and a game of chess will not take long. Prime Minister Ye is so anxious, it seems that he does not want to mediate with Xiao anymore."

Xiao Sanlang's eyes wandered around Ye Heng's carriage inadvertently, "Could it be that when Prime Minister Ye left, he took away some precious gift from me, Yun Zhao, for fear that Xiao would not find out?"

Ye Heng smiled, "Prince Xiao's guess is interesting, why don't you just say it directly, what do you think Ye took away?

Or if Prince Xiao is suspicious, Ye can ask you to search around, and if you find anything that shouldn't be taken away, I'll just keep it."

The whole forest was quiet, except for the sound of the cold wind blowing through the dry branches.

The two men looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the air became inexplicably solemn.

Xu Qian clenched his fists and whispered to Xiao Sanlang: "Brother, why don't we lead people to surround them and search them first."

Xiao Sanlang played with the chess pieces in his hand and shook his head slightly.

Since Ye Heng dared to say this, he was sure that he would not find anything.

Last night he went to Meiyuan, and when he found that the Xiye messenger only brought a box of clothes, he knew that Ye Heng wanted to transfer him away.

He did not rush back to the capital, but made some arrangements overnight, and then waited for Ye Heng on his way back to the country.

He had an almost instinctive intuition that Yueyue was on Ye Heng's carriage.

But if they did search, nothing would be found, but it would give Ye Heng the opportunity to cause trouble.

It is not appropriate to start a war between Xiye and Yunzhao yet.

"What should we do, brother? Make a decision quickly. If we don't search, we may miss the last chance to save Sister Yue." Xu Qian gritted his teeth and urged.

Xiao Sanlang squeezed the chess piece in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Ye Heng, and suddenly smiled.

He took a step forward and handed the chessboard in his hand to Ye Heng.

"Just kidding, why did Prime Minister Ye take it seriously? Xiao came here just to give this cold jade chess piece to Prime Minister Ye.

It’s just a small gift, Prime Minister Ye, don’t think it’s shabby, I look forward to having a chance to play a game of chess with you next time I see Prime Minister Ye.”

Ye Heng looked at the chessboard stuffed into his hands and frowned.

He suddenly couldn't understand Xiao Sanlang's behavior.

Didn't Xiao Sanlang stop here to search the entire envoy group?

He has already made arrangements, so Xiao Sanlang naturally cannot be found, but we can also give him an opportunity to attack and see if he can get back the lost Jiazhou.

When Xiao Sanlang proposed a game of chess earlier, he thought that Xiao Sanlang was deliberately delaying time and giving his people a chance to conduct a secret search.

He refused to play chess and even provoked Xiao Sanlang to search, but Xiao Sanlang was not fooled and instead gave him a pair of chess pieces.

What on earth is Xiao Sanlang going to do?

Before he could figure it out, Xiao Sanlang had already driven his horse to the side and slightly cupped his hands, "It's freezing cold, Prime Minister Ye, please get on the road as soon as possible."

Ye Heng inexplicably felt that the word "go on the road" in Xiao Sanlang's mouth sounded very strange.

But he didn't show it on his face. He nodded lightly and said, "Let's say goodbye."

The entire envoy group began to move forward again. The mighty team of several hundred people dragged on for a long time, but still gradually disappeared from Xiao Sanlang's sight.

Xu Qian was so anxious that he stamped his feet, "Brother, what are you thinking about? Are we still afraid of hundreds of them? Let's kill them first."

Xiao Sanlang's face was as dark as water, "Do you think I don't want to kill him? Do you know that when Ye Heng came, one hundred thousand soldiers in Xiye were stationed outside Liangzhou.

As long as he makes the slightest mistake in Yunzhao Kingdom, the Xiye Army will march straight in, and the people of Yunzhao will be in danger."

Xu Qian looked angry, "Shouldn't we save Sister Yue? Didn't you see that guy's arrogant attitude just now? I'm sure Sister Yue is on his carriage."

Xiao Sanlang squinted at the disappearing team, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Of course we have to save them, but not now. Follow them first and wait until it gets dark."

Xu Qian's eyes lit up, "I understand. Do you want to wait until dark to attack them secretly?"

Xiao Sanlang didn't say anything. He took out an empty glass bottle from his arms and stroked it gently.

Yueyue, I hope orchid grass dew can help us this time.

When it was getting dark, the Xiye Mission stopped.

"Prime Minister, we have arrived at Qingfeng Mountain now. If we want to go to the inn, we still have to walk for another hour. Do you think we should sleep here tonight or continue on the road and stay at the inn?

If Prince Xiao hadn't wasted that time, we would have arrived at the inn long ago."

Ye Heng didn't take it seriously at first. It was common to go out and sleep on the ground, but when he heard a murmur from his confidant, he couldn't help but frown.

Xiao Sanlang's previous behavior was too weird. Could it be that his ultimate goal was to make him miss the inn and then sneak attack him outside tonight?

Did Xiao Sanlang not hesitate to start a war between the two countries for Su Yue?

He rubbed his chin and smiled, "No, keep going and stay at the inn."

If he is really attacked by a sneak attack, he still has to live in the inn in order to seek justice from Yun Zhaoguo.

After saying this, he lowered the car curtain and saw the chess pieces given by Xiao Sanlang lying in the corner.

He thought for a moment and opened the box on the mezzanine of the carriage.

Su Yue's face was pale and she was sleeping with her eyes closed.

Her face is clear and beautiful, her eyelashes are curled, and she looks a little more delicate than usual when she sleeps.

Ye Heng took another look, stretched out his hand and pinched her chin to wake Su Yue up.

He placed the chessboard in front of Su Yue, "See, your husband gave it to you. Do you still remember who your husband is?"

Su Yue's originally clear eyes were blank, her chapped lips opened slightly, and she murmured: "Husband...husband..."

Seeing that her pupils were dilated and unfocused, Ye Heng smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, it seems you are starting to forget some things.

I really look forward to when you meet him on the battlefield in the future."

He chuckled, took a cup of tea and drank it slowly, not noticing the hope sliding down to Su Yue's face.

The familiar smell on the chessboard made Su Yue's eyes flash slightly.
