In his desperation, Xiao Yan simply threw all the troublesome matters to the seventh prince Xiao Ni.
Anyway, Lao Qi kicked him out of the team because he couldn't give a suitable reason.
At worst, if he coerces Xiao Ren in the future, he won't waste so much effort now, he'll be bald just thinking about it.
While the third prince secretly rejoiced, the generals of the Royal Forest Army who were frightened by him sympathized with him and looked at the humiliated seventh prince, whose face turned red and who bit his lips tightly, as if he was at a loss.
Even Xiao Ren, who had just huddled up in fear in the car, couldn't help but poke his head out again when he heard these words and looked at Xiao Ni with pity.
"...Seventh, His Highness Seventh..."
But when he opened his mouth several times in succession, except for murmuring the title in a low voice, he caught sight of the third prince Xiao Yan in panic, and instinctively shut his mouth tightly in an instant.
Just when Xiao Ren was struggling, the seventh prince Xiao Ni finally endured the humiliation and said with a stiff smile as if he had calmed down:
"What are you talking about, Third Brother? Although I have selfish motives, I can definitely help Third Brother when I go to Lixiang Garden. I will definitely be your arm."
Xiao Ni didn't wait for Xiao Yan to sneer again, and immediately continued:
"Besides, Third Brother must know better than me. There are many people in Lixiang Garden, and the people who come and go are either rich or noble. If you just...if you encounter tricky stewards, servants, etc., wouldn't it delay Third Brother's business?"
Xiao Yan snorted before Xiao Ni finished speaking.
The pause in this boy's words meant that the Royal Forest Army would have some scruples when doing errands? Listening to what he said, does he think that he can move forward with his status as a mere prince?
Even a loser like a dancer dares to think like this... What a joke!
Not only did Xiao Yan find it ridiculous, but because he was also a prince, there was no difference between him and Xiao Ni just by his title. In an instant, I felt seriously offended and humiliated.
Thinking of this, almost as soon as Xiao Ni finished speaking, Xiao Yan pulled out the sword from his waist and waved his hand directly at the thin brother opposite.
Snapped! ——
The strong wind swept through everyone with a crisp sound. Except for the attacker and the one being beaten, everyone stared at the scene in front of them with their eyes wide open in shock.
Although the sword was not unsheathed, the seventh prince's reaction was sensitive enough. When Xiao Yan pulled over, he quickly raised his hands and hugged his head tightly.
But being struck by this "sword" is not much easier than being whipped hard by a cowhide whip.
Along with them, some of the veterans who were transferred from Hong Ze's men to help were grinning in secret.
Tsk, they will know just by the sound. Although it didn't hurt any muscles or bones, it was bruised and swollen for two to three months, and it was a sure thing that I couldn't sleep well.
Under the tight cover of her arms, Xiao Ni bit her lips to prevent herself from groaning in front of everyone.
The superimposed pain only forced out the fierceness in his eyes.
Apart from that, let alone tears, there was not even a trace of moisture.
Everyone around was stunned by this sudden scene, among which the leader of the Royal Forest Army was the quickest to come to his senses. And he quickly remembered that he could not let the prince go on an errand in front of his eyes, even if he was not favored!
But before he could step forward to start a fight, the person who hit the person was stunned.
When Xiao Yan took action, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
Huh?
There are many rich and noble guests in Lixiang Garden, but there are even more dignitaries!
In a place like this, what if Prince Anyang had secretly communicated with officials in the court and had evil intentions? Or, he may have learned about Prime Minister Lu's itinerary from an official here, which is also unknown.
Not to mention how likely this is, as long as it exists, it will be a major breakthrough!
Then he went to search the Lixiang Garden first, but after careful consideration... No, no, he had already identified this place with his sharp eyes.
When his father asked him why his journey was disrupted after reaching a fork in the road, his words would definitely make people look at him with admiration!
Not only will the key evidence found in Lixiangyuan be given, this statement will also be enough to shut up those old guys who always pick on him!
After Xiao Yan completely smoothed his thoughts, his mood immediately improved.
Not only did he take back the hand that had wanted to slap Xiao Ni a few more times, but he even started to "love the house and the bird" towards Lao Qi, who had inspired him secretly.
"Haha, what you said, Lao Qi, makes some sense. As the saying goes, 'Father and son never leave each other in battle.' Since you have this heart, come with me."
Xiao Yan was very perfunctory and even said something that was close to gibberish, and then immediately turned around and ordered the leader of the Royal Forest Army.
"Change the original route, go to Lixiang Garden first, and go to the right ahead."
Because he was so excited, he even waved his horsewhip and used the posture of commanding before leaving the formation to scold Fang Qiu.
The young leader of the Royal Forest Army was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly in his heart.
Where is this going? Why did I change my mind and go to Lixiangyuan after just two words...
But how could he dare to say "no" to the noble master next to him?
Not to mention, on this errand, he had to do his best to follow the errand.
As a last resort, the little boss had no choice but to give instructions to his subordinates again. He personally went back and forth to observe the surroundings, made arrangements, and then led the group to continue marching to the right and go straight to Lixiang Garden.

Lixiangyuan, elegant interior.
"County, Princess, how could you... You still have an appointment with the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion today, and the person waiting for you is your grandmother, the old feudal lord of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion!"
Because in a room, on the other side of the screen, Emperor Xuande, the emperor's uncle of Princess Danyang, was closing his eyes to rest.
Therefore, no matter how anxious Zizhu was, she did not dare to make any noise. He could only express his feelings in a posture that was almost like lying next to Princess Danyang's ear.
She originally thought, and she heard it with her own ears, that her princess had an appointment with the junior captain named Han today.
But who would have known that at the end of the quarrel, the princess would actually invite the emperor out of the palace? !
Originally, Zizhu was holding on, but the princess might be too shy to say no, so she hurried to the appointment with the mentality of being able to leave at any time.
But in the current situation, without Emperor Xuande's permission, even Princess Danyang should not be rude and leave this elegant room before the emperor if she has no urgent matters!
However, the old lady of Zhenguo Palace and the grandmother of Princess Danyang are also very scary!
Especially when the princess' words and deeds are out of line and the other party catches them, she is really merciless in punishing people... Not to mention, seeing that her own princess is about to be rude to her - making people wait for nothing, Still don’t know the time limit and the other party can’t find anyone.
The moment he thought of this, Zizhu suddenly paused.
By the way, when leaving the house this morning, Princess Danyang gave the order to the soldiers - starting from the time they left the house, except for Aunt Zhou and Bai Zhi, no one in the house was allowed to leave but not to enter.
And no outsiders are allowed to step into the princess's mansion, including all the in-laws related to the princess's mansion.
Now that I think about it, the person my county wants to guard against is obviously the old feudal prince of Zhenguo Gongfu!
While Zizhu's head was pounding with lightning and the expressions on his face kept changing, Danyang had been sitting firmly on the official hat chair near the window.
From this angle, she could easily see the situation on the corridor outside the door through the gap of the half-closed diamond window, and people outside the house could not notice anyone in the house.
