C2768 I'm Surprised to See You?
"Wu Yan, Minister Wu, give up and struggle. Those guards outside have already been taken care of." At this time, Xiao Huan had already lit up the lights in the room. Princess Qi slowly walked over.2
Wu Yan stopped shouting, although he was still unwilling to believe it. There were so many guards outside his room, but they were quietly taken care of by someone. However, the truth forced him to believe it. Because... He shouted for a long time, but no one came in, and no one showed up either. Obviously, the guards outside had indeed been taken care of. Although it sounded unbelievable.
After accepting the fact, Wu Yan realized that the voice just now was somewhat familiar. He used the lights in the room to finally see the face of the person who just spoke.
"Princess Qi?! Why is it you? How did you get in? When did you enter the city?" Wu Yan looked at Princess Qi in shock and disbelief. At this moment, he no longer had the usual calmness.
It was no wonder that Wu Yan was shocked. He believed that there was an inescapable net set up at every city gate of the capital. It would be fine if Princess Qi and the others did not appear, but once they did, they would definitely be captured.
During the day, no unusual news came from the few city gates. Wu Yan thought that Princess Qi and the others must have realized the danger. They were still outside the city, trying to find a way to enter the city. But... It was definitely not an easy task to sneak into the city under such tight security. Wu Yan was confident that he had done a very good job. He would not let Princess Qi and the others sneak in.
Apart from the arrangement of the city gate, Wu Yan also didn't relax in the arrangement of his mansion. He arranged a large number of patrolling personnel in the outer courtyard to ensure that not even a single mosquito could sneak in.
Apart from that, Wu Yan was still at the outer perimeter of his residence, which was also the courtyard of this courtyard. He had arranged a large number of people and hidden sentries. These people were the elites of the army. Some were the men of sacrifice that he had trained for many years. All of them were very strong. It was not something that an ordinary person could handle.
With so many arrangements, Wu Yan believed that he was absolutely safe. Princess Qi and the others wanted to sneak into the city, let alone get close to him. It wasn't an easy task, and it was precisely because of this that... When Wu Yan saw Princess Qi suddenly appear in his bedroom and in front of him, that was why he was so shocked.
"Are you surprised to see me?" Princess Qi looked at Wu Yan and said, "I am here to thank you for welcoming me along the way. Minister Wu is really warm to me."
Wu Yan was very anxious. He knew very well that Princess Qi was saying. He had arranged for someone to assassinate her. However... Regarding this matter, Wu Yan wouldn't easily admit it. He pretended to be confused and said, "Princess Qi, I do not know what you are talking about. I did not know how to return to court. Shouldn't you be in the Fengjue Country? Why did you suddenly return to the dynasty? "
"Does Lord Minister really not know?" Princess Qi obviously would not believe Wu Yan's words so easily. The people I met along the way all said that Master Minister sent them to welcome me. Isn't it? "
"No! Definitely not!" Wu Yan said firmly, "I did not know that Her Highness the Princess was back. Of course, if I knew, I would definitely welcome you at the city gate."
"Didn't you arrange a large number of people at the city gate?" Princess Qi said disdainfully, "Minister Wu, you still want to argue at this time? Let me ask you, how did I, Royal Brother die?!"
Regarding the cause of her death, Princess Qi had never believed the reason that was announced. The biggest reason she returned to the capital this time was to find out the true cause of Royal Brother's death. And this Wu Yan in front of her was very suspicious.
"Her Highness the Princess, you misunderstood. I did arrange a lot of soldiers at the city gate. However, this was to prevent the rebels from entering the city. You might not know that you are not in our Great Lu Dynasty during this period of time. The rebel army was increasing in number, becoming stronger and stronger, and becoming more and more arrogant. I have already conquered a lot of cities. As the Minister of War of our Great Lu Dynasty... I have to do something to ensure the safety of the capital. That was why I arranged so many soldiers at the city gates. I'm doing this for the safety of the capital. " Wu Yan explained.
"As for the cause of the late Emperor's death, I haven't returned to the capital at that time. So I'm not very sure. However, the imperial physicians said... The late emperor died of illness. Since the Imperial Physicians all said so... Then it should not be wrong. I know Her Highness the Princess. Your relationship with the late emperor is deep and you can't accept the death of the late emperor for a moment. I am also very sad about the death of the late emperor. "
Wu Yan said with a sad expression on his face.
At this moment, Wu Yan had slowly calmed down. It was because he suddenly saw Princess Qi and was unprepared that he showed some panic. But now, after the initial panic, he had regained his calm. He understood. He had been in the government for many years, and Princess Qi was just a little girl who grew up in the inner palace. How could he not beat her?
As for the two people beside Princess Qi, one was clearly palace maid's servant. The other was very likely the general who was trusted by the emperor of Yuan Feng Country. These two people were not intelligent people, perhaps that general had some skills. However, a general was a general after all, and his brain was simple. Such a combination of three people... How could he not be able to deal with them?
After understanding this point, Wu Yan calmed down. He realized that things were not as bad as he thought. Even though Princess Qi might have already suspected him in her heart. However, there should not be any evidence. As for the people who were sent to assassinate her... He could very well deny it and say that it was someone else who framed him. He was innocent and Princess Qi did not have any evidence. Those killers were already dead and no one could testify against them. So... There was no need to worry.
With this thought, Wu Yan felt much more relaxed in his heart. Naturally, he didn't panic anymore, and his words became nimble.
However, just as he was full of confidence, he felt that he was confident that he could deal with Princess Qi and the other two. A slap was heard on his face, and then... He felt that the left side of his face was hot and painful. Following which, a feeling of humiliation arose in his heart.
He had been slapped!
After realizing this, Wu Yan was naturally very angry. He had never encountered such a thing at his age. Normally, no one would be polite to him, even when the late Emperor was still alive. He was very polite to him too, but he never thought that... Today, he had actually been slapped in the face.
