Chapter 78: Won’t you protect me?

The shops in Tingfeng Building are all localized, such as "Jiangnan Fabric", a shop that He Yunxiao often goes to. "Jiangnan Cloth Weaving" was born out of the Jiangnan area in the south of Qi State. Jiangnan is far away from Yan State, and the transportation of cloth is quite unfavorable. Therefore, there are no such Qi State shops in the Tingfeng Building in Jingtian City.

But there are other merchants with Yan Kingdom characteristics.

For example, there are shops selling Kitahara deer skins and prairie horses.

He Yunxiao even saw a large piece of snow-white animal skin, and he wondered if it could be a polar bear.

He Yunxiao found a barbecue restaurant in Tingfeng Building. This restaurant was known as "Prairie Style BBQ". He Yunxiao didn't care if it was true or not, it was just for discussing things with Ren Xianxian.

As soon as he entered the store, He Yunxiao realized that his layout was too small.

This store covered the terrace of Tingfeng Building, covered it with sand, and planted grass to truly recreate the barbecue scene on the grassland. Not only that, the store also keeps horses and rabbits on this small grassland to truly restore the grassland ecology. However, this horse has a big belly and is not as muscular as a real wild horse.

He Yunxiao ordered some meat, grilled it over the fire, and chatted with Ren Xianxian while eating.

The wind was strong at a high place. He Yunxiao saw that Ren Xianxian was shivering due to the cold wind, so he put up an internal barrier to block the wind. Thinking back to the first time he shielded Sister Jiang from the wind, when he could only hold up two people, but now he could cover four or five people, He Yunxiao couldn't help but sigh.

It turns out that time has passed...

Oh, it’s only been more than a month...

"Have you seen my emperor?" Ren Xianxian said.

He Yunxiao nodded, "I saw it, a woman."

It should be quite a big news that Emperor Yan is actually a woman, but now, except for Ren Xianxian's maid, Nu Gui, who expressed shock, the rest of the group remained silent.

Xiaoxiao didn't care at all, but Nanzhu was used to it. After all, her sister was a woman. What happened to women? Can’t you be Emperor Yan?

Ren Xianxian looked at He Yunxiao and said, "Aren't you surprised?"

He Yunxiao shrugged, "Surprised, but it has passed. If she is a woman, she is a woman."

"But I want to marry her! I can't be as open-minded as you."

He Yunxiao nodded and said: "I know, so I came to you. I can help you, but you also have to help me."

Ren Xianxian said: "How do you want to help me?"

"On Emperor Yan's wedding, for the sake of balance, he must marry a woman from both the 'Ren' and 'Jiang' families to be the queen, right?"

"yes."

"There is only one girl of the right age in the Jiang family, and she's not in Jingtian yet, right?"

"yes."

"Princess Jiang's family is in my country of Qi. If I don't let her go back to the country of Yan, Emperor Yan won't be able to get married, and you won't be able to marry. Does this count as helping you?"

"Are you from Qi?" Ren Xianxian's pupils trembled.

"No matter which country I am from, the only one who can help you now is me. Okay, you've finished asking your questions, it's my turn."

Ren Xianxian bit her lip and thought, then her eyes were firm and she said, "You said."

He Yunxiao smiled. She was willing to answer, which meant the transaction was successful. It was impossible for Sister Jiang to give it to Emperor Yan in the first place, but now it was a perfect trick to scare Ren Xianxian.

"Emperor Yan has a grandfather, and I want to know about him."

As the legitimate daughter of the Ren family, Ren Xianxian knew much more inside information than ordinary people. After thinking for a moment, she told He Yunxiao everything about Li Xiangjun's grandfather.

Roughly speaking, Li Xiangjun's grandfather Li Wanshi was the head of the Li family. He also served as Emperor Yan when he was young. Later, according to the rules, he abdicated to the "Jiang" and "Ren" families.

According to Ren Xianxian's description, Emperor Yan can only serve for one term, and it has a limited number of years. When the time comes, he will have to step down and be replaced.

If Li Wanshi is really greedy for power, it is indeed a good choice to train a puppet granddaughter to take power for him. At least the granddaughter won't compete with him for power like the grandson. After all, the grandson is also the orthodox Emperor Yan and has the opportunity to fight for power, while the granddaughter needs to pretend to be a woman due to her status as a woman and can only be controlled by Li Wanshi.

From this point of view, it seems that Li Xiangjun did not lie.

He Yunxiao asked tentatively: "Have you ever heard of the name 'Li Xiangjun'?"

Ren Xianxian shook her head.

The legitimate daughter of the Ren family has never heard of it, which means that "Li Xiangjun" is not well-known in the Li family.

"Do you know what kind of character Emperor Yan is?"

Ren Xianxian shook her head again, "My emperor never meets with me in private. He always talks politely in front of a lot of people."

Seeing that he couldn't ask about the Li family's affairs, He Yunxiao asked about the Jiang family's affairs.

"Have you ever heard of the name 'Jiang Wuyou'?"

"No."

"What about 'Jiang Wuqi'?"

Ren Xianxian nodded and said: "Jiang Wuqi is the only son of Jiang Wenhu, the third son of the head of the Jiang family. His father, Jiang Wenhu, is a general with military exploits and defeated the Southern King. Jiang Wuqi has good martial arts talent, and in Yan Among the younger generation in the country, he ranks among the top five, so he is highly regarded by the Jiang family. "

He Yunxiao recalled Jiang Wuqi's words. He said that Sister Jiang was his "cousin."

Since they are "cousins", it means that Sister Jiang's father and Jiang Wenhu are brothers.

"What about the other sons of the head of the Jiang family?"

Ren Xianxian recalled: "The eldest brother of King Po Nan is serving in the court and is a powerless national advisor. The second brother... seems to have eloped with an oiran. This was very famous back then..."

He Yunxiao:......

The royal family eloped with the courtesan...lived a life of men farming and women weaving on the border of Qi and Yan...gave birth to a beautiful daughter, but did not tell her her life story...suddenly hit by a disaster, the family ran out of money, and could only sell the daughter to survive...now that the time has come, the Jiang family needs a woman of the right age to be the queen...the family found Sister Jiang's father...the royal family's escaped son finally couldn't stand the pressure, had to give up his dream, and go home to inherit a million-dollar fortune...

Sister Jiang's affairs finally went smoothly...

In this case...then what about the so-called "commoner parents" of Sister Jiang that the Qi State spies found out?

If these "commoner parents" are just baits cast by the Yan Emperor to lure the Qi State spies to take action and test Sister Jiang's loyalty, then if the Qi State spies failed to rescue her, doesn't it mean that Sister Jiang has betrayed and some of the Qi State spies have been exposed?

With the brain of Emperor Yan, she should be able to think that someone will come to Jingtian City to rescue people again...

No, this matter may not be done by Emperor Yan, it may also be the work of her grandfather Li Wanshi...

He Yunxiao thought for a while, and all kinds of broken information and suspicions have made his brain explode. He envied Emperor Yan's intelligence network very much, and missed Mengbao and Ruobao's brains even more.

If Mengbao and Ruobao were here, he could ask them directly without having to think about it himself.

He Yunxiao sighed, with this little information at the moment, he was helpless.

"Can I eat this?"

"Yes."

This voice sounds so familiar...

He Yunxiao raised his head and suddenly found that there was a woman beside him.

Meng Qingrou looked at Li Xiangjun and murmured, "Sister?"

Li Xiangjun imitated He Yunxiao, sitting cross-legged on the ground, chewing the skewers he had grilled, looking at Meng Qingrou, and said curiously, "What sister?"

"Yan... why did you come out?" He Yunxiao was shocked. He looked left and right. This girl was sitting alone next to him, without even a guard. Even Ren Xianxian brought a maid out.

"Can't I come out?" Li Xiangjun said innocently.

"You didn't bring a guard?"

"Why would I bring a guard?"

"What if I get into danger?"

Li Xiangjun looked at He Yunxiao and smiled, "Won't you protect me?"

"I..." He Yunxiao was speechless.

Xiaoxiao looked at Li Xiangjun warily. She had never seen Li Qingmeng, so she naturally didn't think this face was familiar.

But Xiaoxiao intuitively thought that this new bad woman was not simple, but very bad.
