When Ye Qing appeared in front of Ren Qiuke, neither Haoyue nor Shi Feng was qualified to stand by.
This was different from the meeting with Yi Lanshan that day. Ye Qing did not reveal his identity at that time, and Ge Sheng, as a disciple of the saint, was also qualified to participate in the transaction between Ye Qing and Yi Lanshan.
But this time is different.
Ren Qiuke's identity is the Lord of Tianlan City and one of the members of the Council of Ten.
Ye Qing is the youngest princess of the Lanye Empire, and every move she makes represents the attitude of the Lanye Empire.
It would be difficult for a third person to observe a meeting of this kind unless it was deliberately allowed.
So Ye Qing simply took out the letter wrapped in magic patterns from the space package, lowered his head and handed it to Ren Qiuke with some respect.
"Ye Qing, fortunately you have lived up to your fate."
Her identity at this time is that of Lan Mu's private messenger. No matter how high the status of the messenger is, the essence of her identity will not change.
So when she handed over the scarlet envelope, her ceremony was simple and humble.
Don't be fooled by this girl who has never been upright and carefree in the past. The education she received when she was young was among the best among the princesses in the imperial family, and the young princess has always been known as a top student.
Ren Qiuke simply took the letter, his fingertips brushed over the cover, and a wisp of sword energy circulated along the magic lines, and then the envelope was opened smoothly.
This letter written by Lan Mu seemed very short, no more than a page long, but Ye Qing stood at the bottom and looked at Ren Qiuke for half a quarter of an hour.
The place they were at at this time was naturally not the cold moon-watching platform high up there. There were warm and comfortable pavilions in Wangyue Villa. Ye Qing watched Ren Qiuke finally finish reading the thin piece of letter paper, and his heart was always filled with doubts. The boulder fell to the ground.
"City Lord, is my mission accomplished?"
The reward for Lan Mu's mission is naturally generous, but the most generous thing is actually this favor.
He used his favor to let Ren Qiuke and Ye Qing meet. Even if there was not a single word written on this piece of paper, an imperial princess crossing the vast snowfields of the north to arrive at the foot of Tianlan City was a profound enough gift in itself.
But Ren Qiuke's answer was a little hesitant.
He is the city lord with a clear sword heart and a high level of heaven. He should not hesitate for this simple answer, but when he hesitates, there is naturally a problem.
"Lan Mu said at the end of the letter that the princess should read this letter once." Ren Qiuke's answer was brief and direct.
"But my judgment is that the princess should not read this letter for the time being."
Ye Qing couldn't help but raise his light blue eyebrows.
She tilted her head slightly, with a smile that was a bit willful and even unruly, like a lion cub that saw danger on the edge of the cliff but still moved closer step by step, risking its own dignity with every step closer.
"Show me." Ye Qing said simply.
She only said three words, but the content of these three words was a command, not a request.
Ren Qiuke nodded, and the page lifted up without any wind and flew lightly in front of Ye Qing. Ye Qing reached out to grab it, opened it gently, and read on.
"The Lord of Ren Qiuke City personally initiated the ceremony.
The sender is Ninth Princess Ye Qing, and the delivery date will be no later than January 12th. In this case, this letter will be appreciated.
If the above conditions are not met, the letter will be destroyed.
The situation in Tianlan City is generally understood, but the details are slightly off. According to the astrology, there is no danger. You and I are people who do not obey the destiny of heaven, so we should not listen to it.
The Dragon Bone Lich is becoming more active, but the empire is not yet sure of victory. Within the principle, please condone the Lich's activities.
The third princess Ye Luan has set off secretly and will arrive in Yanshi on January 12th to leave the country. The princess should be Queen Ste, and this matter is shared by the royal family and the Imperial Council.
I am worried about the Ninth Princess, so I am sending this letter to you. Before the 30th of January when the Princess arrives, please ask the city lord to keep the Princess in Tianlan.
Give this letter to the Ninth Princess for personal reading. "
Ye Qing read the content of the letter word by word. It was obviously no more than a page, but Ye Qing actually read it for half a quarter of an hour. It was not until she read the end for the last time that she raised her head coldly. , smiled and said: "Ren Qiuke, do you dare to stop me?"
Even if Ren Qiuke had known the princess's true nature from high-level secret talks, he also knew what she did in Marshal Lanying's room half a year ago.
But even so, he did not expect that the girl who was gentle and humble just now would become extremely aggressive in an instant.
In the end, what she relies on is her identity as the Ninth Princess, but she is the only one who can use this identity in this way since the establishment of the three empires.
Lan Mu's letter mainly talks about four pieces of information, but in summary, it's two things.
The monsters near Tianlan City are abnormal, and there may be an unprecedented wave of beasts. However, according to the astrological results, Tianlan City will not be affected too much.
The source of the anomaly in Warcraft is suspected to be the Dragon Lich, but the Empire does not plan to fall out with the Dragon Lich in the short term, so do not take the initiative to take action against the Dragon Lich.
This matter is about the current situation of Tianlan City. The information written by Lan Mu himself cannot be forged. The origin of the beast tide, the prediction of harm, and the attitude of those behind the scenes, including the empire, are all included. With this With the intelligence, Ren Qiuke can fully grasp the opportunity.
However, the second thing is a state matter.
The third princess Ye Luan will marry Emperor Ste in secret, and this matter is supported by the royal family and the Imperial Parliament.
In this way, the huge pressure on the northern border was immediately relieved, and there was no need to worry about the invasion that the terrifying young emperor might launch at any time.
Both of these matters are major events, and both are extremely good. They are also related to important secrets. Even though Ren Qiuke is qualified to know this information as a member of the ten-member council, he has lived in Tianlan all year round and rarely goes to the imperial capital. While attending the parliament, there was a sudden change in the Northern Wilderness Snowfield, and magical communication was cut off, so he could only get the information he wanted from specialized messengers.
But the fourth thing is like the tail of the third thing, because Lan Mu is worried that the Ninth Princess will interfere with this matter - you know, Ye Qing also has an unshakable status as a royal family participating in politics, if it weren't for these dozen Ye Qing has been trudging through the snowy plains of the Northern Wilderness all day long without getting any outside news. So as long as she is determined, she can rush back to the Imperial Capital within the necessary time and cause a complete stir in her own way.
However, no one would take such a thirteen-year-old princess seriously and think that she would not be able to overturn this important matter of family and country that had been decided and start over.
Therefore, from the perspective of those who promoted this matter, this was more of a protection for Ye Qing to stay out of the matter.
But judging from this letter, Lan Mu really believes that if Ye Qing is still in Lan Lan, then the outcome of the matter is really uncertain.
But in this case, Lanmu is the biggest loser of this behavior.
He originally offended the princess by sending Ye Qing out of Lan Lan, but now he asked Ren Qiuke to confine Ye Qing to Tianlan City. This not only cost Ren Qiuke a huge favor, after all, Ren Qiuke was under house arrest for nine years no matter what the purpose. Even though the princess didn't bother him because of her status, Ye Qing was greatly offended.
This loss will naturally be compensated by Lanmu.
Although as the head of the second family named Lan, the lord of Lanlan City, he could barely bear the anger of a royal princess, but if you consider that this princess not only has a bright future, but also has a close personal relationship with him, such behavior It's really confusing.
Taking a step back, Lanmu could have done all of this underwater.
The situation in Tianlan City was critical, and he entrusted the Ninth Princess to deliver the message. Just as he had initially persuaded Ye Qing, this was a good job with generous rewards and everyone got what they needed. However, during this period, unfortunately, a decision was made about the three princesses.
As for when Ye Qing arrived at Tianlan City and received the warm hospitality, he was so happy that he couldn't miss Shu. It was February before he knew it. This wasn't something he couldn't accept.
This is the smoothest development process. Everyone takes their own favors and exchanges to form a small interest group. Even if the Ninth Princess is temporarily insignificant in it, she is a growing little beast after all. All calculations are accidental. Uncle Lanmu is the gentle and kind-hearted city lord. How could he deliberately plot against a princess?
But Lan Mu just left all this on the water.
He clearly told Ye Qing what he had done before, including his future plans, and then let her make the decision.
So even Ren Qiuke, when he saw the last sentence written by Lan Mu in the letter, would hesitate and say: "The princess should not read this letter for the time being."
But at this time, facing the question from the Ninth Princess by name, the Lord of Tianlan City smiled softly, showing endless confidence in his plainness.
"Why don't you dare?"
Ren Qiuke grabbed the collar of Ye Qing's neck with one hand, as if he was holding a restrained blue cat. He walked leisurely in Wangyue Villa, and the servants and maids he met along the way seemed to be completely I couldn't see the city lord and the princess, and I didn't even cast a glance at this place.
Ye Qing even thought with some malice that even if the city lord was doing this to her in the corridor, these servants would definitely turn a blind eye.
But in fact, Ye Qing didn't resist too much.
Her opponent was the city lord, a swordsman with astonishing fighting prowess even though he had just entered the heavenly realm. She thought that she would not be able to withstand even a single face-to-face encounter, but if she really let go of her princess pretense and acted out, she might be able to stand in her way.
But it's meaningless. If it works, Ye Qing really doesn't care about the princess' skin, but if it doesn't work, why humiliate himself.
So she just said, "I won't leave here."
So Ren Qiuke lifted her up with one hand like a cat and walked her to his guest room step by step.
When Shi Feng opened the door and saw the strange-looking pair of city lord and princess, even though he was as indifferent as he was, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Ye Qing pointed back with his thumb at the immovable city lord, and explained angrily: "This city lord coveted my beauty and put me under house arrest."
If the person opposite was not Shi Feng, he would definitely have heard complaints of high quality and quantity, but Shi Feng just said "oh" and opened the door.
Even Ren Qiuke didn't respond to Ye Qing's teasing. It seemed that this type of wood was abundant in this northern country. He just put Ye Qing on the ground and said calmly.
"If His Highness from the academy hadn't come personally, the princess would definitely not be able to leave Tianlan City."
Then his figure disappeared instantly.
Ye Qing looked at his afterimage that was still there and couldn't help but curl his lips. He could obviously be a high-speed airmail courier, but he had to be a human rickshaw.
However, Ye Qing sighed.
The Lord of Tianlan City actually knows a lot about Ye Ye College.
For example, no one who knows the details would mistake His Highness for Lin Xi, Lan Ying, or some powerful and powerful figure in the academy.
That His Highness is that His Highness, His Highness the Third.
Today, in the early spring of the fourth year of Qingli, that His Majesty had been promoted. This was the first time Ye Qing knew that His Highness the Third Highness also had a similar code name among this group of big shots.
That His Highness.
Yes, Ye Qing himself is also His Highness, and Ao Xuehua himself is also a very high-ranking His Highness, but there are differences between His Highness and His Highness.
Just like the most powerful princess in the world is always Xiao who does not have any royal blood.
And His Highness the Third, whose origin is mysterious and whose identity is unknown, is really the person Ye Qing knows who is most qualified to be called His Highness.
The Lord of Tianlan City must know her relationship with that His Highness, and he also knows that she is sure to call that His Highness here.
If the Third Highness comes in person, let alone whether he can defeat the uncle of the city lord, if he just wants to come, the city lord who focuses on the sword will definitely not be able to stop him.
But Ye Qing doesn't plan to leave for the time being.
Ye Qing sighed, stretched out his hand to hold the door, and then looked around: "Where is Wuyougu?"
Wuyougu relied on her small bones and unclear words to enter Tianlan City without any questioning. After entering the city, she seemed to live with Ye Qing and his party as a matter of course. Ye Qing was dissatisfied with her. I hated it, so I just let it go. In other words, there were three residents in the small courtyard where they were at this time.
"Going out, entering the city." Shi Feng answered briefly.
Ye Qing nodded. What she had to do next was best if the mysterious girl wasn't around.
Thinking like this, Ye Qing stretched out a finger, and a blue diamond-shaped crystal appeared on her fingertip.
"Identity verification, Ge Qing, president of Late Summer Friends Club."
"The recipient of the communication is Ge Sheng, a member of the Late Summer Friends Club."
She poured her magic power into the spar bit by bit, and watched the magic patterns inside the spar light up little by little. What she said actually had no meaning, it was just a confirmation for herself.
When the last ray of magic pattern was lit up, Ye Qing paused and then spoke slowly.
"Sorry, brother, I'm going to cause you trouble again."
Ge Sheng's image appeared above the spar. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Ye Qing.
"Listen to me first, and then you can talk about this."
Ye Qing bit his lip gently.
"Very important."
"You ask His Highness the Third Prince to come over and take my Qianye Liubi away. Then use it as a token to go to Lanlan City to collect one hundred Guards Corps. Don't tell me the reason for the transfer. You are qualified not to tell me."
"The Guards Corps rushed directly to Yanshi. Their journey only takes a day or two."
"Then you stay on the road and check all caravans that pass by. Just remember one thing, everything with a roof or lid, whether it is a carriage or a jar, must be broken and inspected."
"After three days, the mission is over and you let the Guards Corps return to their ranks. Regardless of whether you find anything or not, just come and see me."
At this moment, Ye Qing suddenly realized that Ge Sheng was the only person in the world that she could trust without reservation.
Ye Qing could trust everyone in the Late Summer Friends Club, but there was a threshold after all.
Among the three people, Qi Xia, Mo Xiaojing, and Ao Xuehua, she could not see through Qi Xia at all, so she would never give him the necessary trust.
She could confirm that Mo Xiaojing had no ill intentions towards her, but if she had to entrust her with something, if there was a second choice, Ye Qing would definitely not choose him.
Without him, I hate my ears.
Next is Ao Xuehua. President Ao Da is the person Ye Qing is most willing to rely on, because she is strong enough and considerate enough, but at this moment, she is a little too powerful, and Ye Qing has no way to check her. Means, and, in the final analysis, Aoxuehua is the princess of Aos, not Lanye.
This is a thorn in their side that they never want to bring out.
In addition to the three of them, there are a few particularly bad disabled people in the Friends Club at the end of the summer. The first one to bear the brunt is Senior Zhou Yan. It is more safe to leave this kind of thing to him and give it to a dog.
After all, if he were here, he would definitely say that comparing me to a dog is an insult to the dog.
The Third Highness is also severely handicapped and unable to move. You can point her to a specific location and find something, and she will bring it to you. But if that thing even just falls off the table, even if it is in front of her eyes, she will Will also turn a blind eye.
In her mind, what was on the table and what was on the ground were already two different things.
This is not stupid. Strictly speaking, Ye Qing really doesn't know who is smarter than His Highness.
It's just that for some unknown reasons, His Highness is very reluctant to think about something beyond the second level.
Are you telling me to entrust this kind of person with tasks?
Shi Feng is also one of the disabled people!
He has extremely strong hands-on ability. He likes to rely on instinct and cannot be hurt at all. There is no such thing as leadership. He will instinctively choose to use force to overcome skill when encountering anything. There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with a fireball. , if not, then give it a try is their tacit philosophy of life.
