"Okay, it's up to you. Let's leave Xicheng tonight!"
"yes!"
Lin Yiqiu nodded, and then, after a slight hesitation, he opened his mouth to explain to Xia Ningshuang in front of him.
"However, Your Highness, if today's assassin comes again, I am worried about the safety of the eldest princess. Therefore, I feel that tonight, the eldest princess will stay with me for the last time to avoid any danger..."
All right.
Lin Yiqiu planned to protect Xia Ningshuang personally.
And his voice fell.
Xia Ningshuang's face suddenly turned red.
Although, in her eyes, Lin Yiqiu was a eunuch, it was a bit unseemly for a majestic princess to let a eunuch live in the same room.
At the same time, of course Lin Yiqiu couldn't do it. He was thinking in his heart that he could take advantage of Xia Ningshuang - he didn't want to take advantage of Xia Ningshuang, who could only see but couldn't fight with a sword.
Yes, because this kind of thing that can only be seen but not touched is really too torturous.
However, he had to consider Xia Ningshuang's safety.
The assassin he met before still made Lin Yiqiu fearful to this day.
In this situation.
Without protecting Xia Ningshuang personally, Lin Yiqiu was really worried that something would happen to her.
In that case, Emperor Qian would not be able to forgive him.
At the same time, after Xia Ningshuang experienced intense thought, she opened her mouth and said.
"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. What the sage said is right!"
Saying that, Xia Ningshuang glanced at Lin Yiqiu contemptuously.
Then, he smiled playfully.
"Besides, you are still a eunuch!"
"This princess allows you to stay in my carriage tonight and protect my safety all night long!"
Xia Ningshuang's words made Lin Yiqiu extremely angry. He said in his heart, if I protect you, I will protect you. Why are you so ignorant?
I have to take good care of you tonight...
It is definitely impossible to clean up Xia Ningshuang.
Now, Lin Yiqiu doesn't have the courage.
However, just as the two of them left Xicheng and were on their way back to Gandu.
Lin Yiqiu suddenly received a piece of news.
At this time, Lin Yiqiu couldn't help but frown slightly as he looked at the Di newspaper that had just been delivered to him from Qiandu.
To put it bluntly, the Di Bao is an internal reference material for the Daqian court. It will write about the current political affairs and the current affairs discussed in the court. At the moment, it is something that all officials can see.
At this time, the contents of the Di newspaper made Lin Yiqiu shocked.
While staring at the newspaper, Lin Yiqiu couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xia Ningshuang who was aside. The latter was obviously attracted by Lin Yiqiu's expression at this time, and realized that something might be wrong with the situation.
Finally, Xia Ningshuang's face showed its true color.
She asked Lin Yiqiu with her mouth open.
"What is written in the newspaper?"
"this……"
Lin Yiqiu frowned slightly, but Xia Ningshuang was the eldest princess of Daqian, so he had no choice but to answer with a heavy look on his face.
"I'm reporting to the eldest princess, I really can't tell you the contents of the newspaper. I'd better ask the eldest princess to read it for yourself..."
Saying that, Lin Yiqiu quickly handed over the newspaper to Xia Ningshuang. Xia Ningshuang looked at the newspaper in her hand and only took a few glances at it.
An angry blush instantly appeared on her pretty face.
"This makes no sense. What on earth does the Prime Minister want to do?"
Okay, Xia Ningshuang is angry.
It's just something that the Prime Minister brought up.
The prime minister of Daqian is named Li Yan. This person is extremely powerful in Daqian. He is a veteran minister in the court for more than ten years. Such a person has disciples and former officials all over the world. When Daqian governs the country, he is Li Yan. Apart from him, his family can be called the first family in Daqian.
It can be said that he is a powerful minister.
At this time, this Li Yan made a proposal that made Xia Ningshuang very angry.
turn out to be.
Although the Daqian Empire is a powerful country, there is more than just Daqian on this extremely vast continent.
Here, there are powerful countries without forests and thousands of nations.
And to the southeast of Daqian, there is a very powerful country.
Wu Guo!
This country is powerful and has a powerful navy. Most importantly, the Yue people under their governance are very tough and good at fighting. The king of this country, Fu Chai, is even more ambitious and often attacks neighboring countries. ,Start a war.
In this situation.
In fact, the southeastern border of Daqian has always been in danger, and we need to be alert to the dangers of Wu at all times.
For this reason, the north faces Daqian, a nomadic people in Beidi.
It is undoubtedly a deep blow.
After all, if we expand the empire.
If we start a war with this country of Wu.
Then, Daqian will fall into a multi-front battle.
Naturally, there is no need to elaborate on the military threats posed by multi-front operations.
so.
Facing the state of Wu, it had an aggressive desire for expansion.
Li Yan, the prime minister of Daqian, actually made a proposal.
This proposal is to get married!
The most important thing is that the person he sent out to make the marriage was none other than the eldest princess of Daqian, Xia Ningshuang.
Therefore, it was inevitable that Xia Ningshuang was extremely angry after learning the news.
Lin Yiqiu, on the other hand, quickly comforted him.
"Princess, there is no need to be angry. The Prime Minister is just making a suggestion. Your Majesty has to decide whether you agree or disagree..."
"But……"
Xia Ningshuang's face changed slightly.
The Prime Minister is extremely powerful in the court. If the Prime Minister insists, it is inevitable that Emperor Qian will agree to this matter.
Xia Ningshuang, on the other hand, was naturally quite reluctant about this matter.
the reason is simple.
King Wu Fu Chai was naturally lustful. It is said that his palace contained countless beauties from all over the world, including Orchid from the northwest. How could he live well in her palace?
Furthermore, King Wu is also very old, already over fifty years old.
When she thought about marrying a lecherous old man in her fifties, Xia Ningshuang was totally unwilling.
Just when Xia Ningshuang had a headache.
Outside the carriage, a group of people rode fast horses and caught up with the carriage. The guards had previously felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. However, when they saw the young man in brocade clothes leading the group, the surrounding guards, and even Lin Yiqiu's subordinates, The Xichang fans all put away their swords.
The vigilant look on his face suddenly disappeared.
Everyone's face was full of smiles, and they complimented the visitor.
"Master Li, why are you here?"
"Can the eldest princess be in the car?"
The visitor, however, did not notice everyone's compliments at all. It was obvious that he was already used to being flattered by everyone. At this time, he pointed at the carriage beside him with the riding crop in his hand. , and then asked inquiringly.
