After breakfast, the woman brought Huanhuan to the door of the masked man's room. I knocked several times, but no one opened the door.
"The guests in this room have already left early in the morning." A passing waiter said.
"You left, do you know which direction you went?" the woman asked. She never wanted to owe others any favors.
"Towards the imperial capital." the waiter replied.
"Thank you." The woman thanked her and took Huanhuan back to the room. Since we are all going to the Imperial Capital, there should be a chance to meet again.
Yunjing and others galloped all the way towards the imperial capital. Suddenly, a horse came galloping in front of them. When they saw Yunjing and the others, they slowed down. Yunjing saw that the other party had slowed down, so he also stopped.
"Excuse me, is this General Yunjing?" the person opposite asked.
"Exactly." Yunjing replied.
"Your Majesty ordered Yunjing to go to Langya County and escort Princess Xiyue back to the imperial capital." The visitor cleared his throat and said loudly.
"General, please come back and report to me. I will fulfill my mission." Yunjing said, cupping his fists.
"General Yun, there is a secret letter here. Your Majesty has ordered that it cannot be opened until General Yun arrives at Langya County." The person who came took out a letter and handed it to Yun Jing.
Yunjing took the letter and put it close to his body. Yun Jing waved, and the entourage behind him brought a map and handed it to Yun Jing. After reading the map, Yunjing immediately changed direction and rushed to Langya County.
Princess Xiyue is the emperor's most beloved princess, and she and the third prince are both born to Concubine Jun. Concubine Jun is your Majesty’s childhood sweetheart and your favorite concubine. Due to some political reasons, Concubine Jun failed to become the queen. The king felt guilty towards Concubine Jun because of this, and loved Concubine Jun even more. It is said that the emperor personally promised that he would pass the throne to Concubine Jun's son. Although neither Your Majesty nor Concubine Jun personally admitted this matter, it is not groundless when you think about it.
This time, Princess Xiyue sneaked out of the palace. Your Majesty sent a large number of people to determine the location of Princess Xiyue. In order to avoid Princess Xiyue, she was deliberately approached by interested people. Your Majesty did not reveal the identity of Princess Xiyue, and only let the spies secretly protect her. For the safety of Princess Xiyue, a special order was sent to General Yunjing, who had returned to the imperial capital to take up his post, to personally escort Princess Xiyue.
It took Yunjing five years to rise from an ordinary soldier to a third-rank General Yunhui based on military merit. Yunjing is both civil and military, and has never lost in the battle with Nanjiang. In the decisive battle with Nanjiang, Yunjing not only killed the enemy's general, but also led an elite cavalry to pursue him all the way to the palace of Nanjiang, and captured the king of Nanjiang alive. The five-year war has finally come to an end. Yunjing was also granted the title of official back to the court and took over the post of Minister of War. Your Majesty trusted Yunjing very much, so he sent an order for Yunjing to escort Princess Xiyue back to the imperial capital.
Yunjing galloped all the way to Langya County. He took out the secret letter from the king, which turned out to be the contact information with the spy. Yunjing found an inn to stay at, and then went to contact the spies alone according to the contact information. In a house, Yunjing met the spy.
"My subordinates have met General Yun. Your Majesty has sent an order. Before arriving at the imperial capital, all of us will obey General Yun's orders." After confirming Yun Jing's identity, the spy leader saluted.
"Where is Princess Xiyue now?" Yunjing asked directly without much nonsense.
"Princess Xiyue is staying in Room No. 1 of Tianzi Inn at Jixiang Inn and has not gone out today." the spy replied.
"Do you have a portrait of Princess Xiyue here?" Yunjing has never seen Princess Xiyue.
"General Yun, wait a moment." The secret agent returned to the inner room and soon got back a portrait. Yunjing looked at it carefully and remembered Princess Xiyue's appearance in his mind.
"Okay. Just follow the original deployment and protect her step by step. This general will take Princess Xiyue back to the imperial capital as soon as possible." Yunjing has no plans to dispatch these spies. These spies are the king's confidants, and he doesn't want to be guessed by the king.
After Yunjing left, he went straight to Jixiang Inn. He came to Tianzi No. 1 room and knocked on the door.
"Who are you looking for?" A maid opened the door and asked looking at Yun Jing.
"Please tell Princess Xiyue that Yunjing, the last general, has been ordered by the king to escort the princess back to the imperial capital." Yunjing directly stated his intention.
"General, please wait a moment." The maid closed the room again and went in to report.
"General, please come in." Soon, the maid opened the door again.
"The last general, Yunjing, has met the princess." Yunjing entered the room and saluted respectfully to Princess Xiyue.
"This princess has heard about you. I heard that you are both civil and military, resourceful, and have won many battles on the battlefield without any defeat. However, I don't care about these. I am more curious about your face under the mask. . Some people say that it is so handsome that no one can match it, while others say that it is so ugly that it is disgusting. Today, I want to see it with my own eyes. "Princess Xiyue looked at Yunjing with interest.
"I'm afraid the princess will be disappointed. This mask was worn by the general who was personally ordered by the emperor. Without the emperor's order, the general would not dare to show his true face to others in private. The general's appearance is ordinary, neither handsome nor ugly." Yun Jing refused without being humble or arrogant.
"What if I, the princess, have to watch it?" Princess Xiyue looked at Yunjing with a threatening tone.
"As long as the princess can fight until the general loses his fighting ability, the princess can watch as he pleases." Yun Jing was uncompromising.
"This is the first time someone has rejected me since I was little. I will remember you." Princess Xiyue said coldly. How could she hit Yunjing and lose her fighting ability without the strength to restrain him?
"Princess, please have a good rest. We will escort the princess back to the imperial capital at the end of tomorrow." Yunjing ignored Princess Xiyue's verbal threats.
"This princess will not go back. If you want to go back, go back on your own. When I have enough fun, I will naturally go back." Princess Xiyue didn't want to go back in the first place, let alone Yunjing asking her to go back. Hundreds of them are unwilling.
"I will leave at the end." Yunjing bowed to Princess Xiyue and exited the room.
Seeing Yunjing leave, Princess Xiyue suddenly felt a little hopeful about what method Yunjing would use to bring her back to the imperial capital. I have always been pampered and flattered, but suddenly a different person appears. After a brief period of anger, I feel fresh and interesting.
Early the next morning, Yunjing led his men to Jixiang Inn. Yunjing asked his men to wait in the hall, while he went alone and knocked on the door of Tianzi No. 1 room.
"General, please come in. The princess is already waiting for the general." After the maid opened the door, she directly invited Yun Jing in.
"The general has met the princess. The carriage is ready, please move the princess." Yun Jing said after saluting Princess Xiyue.
"This princess already said yesterday that she will not leave with you. Lan'er, let's go." When Princess Xiyue passed by Yunjing, she glanced at Yunjing provocatively.
Yunjing followed Princess Xiyue to the lobby.
"Come here, take them two into the carriage, be careful not to hurt them." Yunjing ordered.
"My subordinates obey." Yunjing's subordinates immediately stepped forward to capture Princess Xiyue and the other two.
"Bold." Lan'er has martial arts skills. As she spoke, she kicked someone away. Lan'er's skills were not weak, and in the blink of an eye, she kicked two more people away. Princess Xiyue looked at Yunjing provocatively, with some contempt in her eyes.
Yunjing ignored Princess Xiyue's provocation, took three steps and two steps at a time, came up behind Lan'er, and knocked Lan'er unconscious with just one move. Lan'er felt the sound of breaking the air behind her, but when she wanted to avoid it, it was already too late. Princess Xiyue still recognized Lan'er's skills. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to wander around with her alone. Princess Xiyue was also shocked when she saw Lan'er knocked unconscious by Yun Jing's move.
"Take away." Yunjing ordered expressionlessly.
"Yunjing, you are bold and not afraid..." Princess Xiyue wanted to threaten, but before she could finish her words, she was knocked unconscious by Yunjing.
The spies in the dark looked shocked when they saw what Yun Jing did. If they hadn't known Yunjing's identity, they would have come out to fight Yunjing. They were all secretly guessing who Yunjing was, who dared to knock the princess unconscious, and who was the king's favorite princess.
