560 Eighth Prince Arrives

At the state capital.

The soldiers quickly sealed off the streets and cleared out all the irrelevant people. They occupied the main points of the streets with serious expressions.

At the same time, under the arrangement of the neighborhood guards, the well-dressed commoners lined up in two rows with flowers and wine.

The sound of horse hooves came from the sky.

Everyone raised their heads and saw a golden dragon carriage with a black bottom treading on the clouds under the dazzling golden sun.

The carriage was pulled by eight black-blooded red-maned dragon horses. They crossed a thousand miles in an instant and landed on the street.

The official gave a look, and the people immediately erupted in cheers, calling out the Eighth Prince’s virtuous name.

They only stopped cheering when the carriage entered the luxurious mansion.

Ye Chan was no longer dressed as a man but had changed into a gentle palace dress. She looked out the door with an expectant expression, as if she was a little nervous.

Seeing the carriage approaching, she revealed the shy posture of a little girl.

A graceful man in a python robe alighted from the carriage.

The man’s eyes were as dark as ink, and the corners of his mouth always carried a hint of a smile, giving people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.

Ten knights in black appeared behind him.

“Sister Chan.” Ao Ying smiled warmly.

Ye Chan’s gentle gaze seemed to melt people.

“Eighth Royal Brother.” Ye Chan bowed.

It was obvious that this prince was Ye Chan’s sweetheart.

The two of them told each other about the interesting things happened since they parted.

It was mainly Ye Chan who was talking. Ao Ying smiled and listened quietly, occasionally saying a few humorous words, making the woman cover her mouth and laugh.

Ye Chan chattered on, not noticing the impatience on the man’s face.

The knights behind them followed them closely.

“Royal Brother, I sent people to search day and night and finally found the Green Dragon Form in the ancient books. Eunuch Dai Quan asked someone to draw a map.” Ye Chan was completely blinded by love and couldn’t even see his expressions.

“You’ve worked hard, Chan’er. I’ll go back and report to Imperial Father to bestow you a marriage and give you a status.” Ao Ying said emotionally after getting the map.

“We’re a family. Don’t be so distant.” Ye Chan was a little shy.

The Eighth Prince was a kind person who was good at literature and martial arts. The two of them were childhood sweethearts and liked each other.

Ye Chan saw the Eighth Prince’s interests as her own.

A few days ago, she had accidentally obtained the Green Emperor Treasure Book from the library. It recorded the cave dwelling where the Green Emperor had gone into seclusion before attaining Dao.

It was said that this cave-dwelling retained the Gren Emperor’s ultimate arts and magic treasures.

The Green Emperor was the fourth Heavenly Emperor, so the magic treasure he left behind must be powerful.

If the Eighth Prince obtained the treasure, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial to the competition for the throne.

Therefore, Ye Chan immediately told the secret of her ancestor to her sweetheart.

“Sister Chan, go back and rest first. In a while, the people from the Imperial Duke’s Estate and King Rong’s Estate will come over.” Ao Ying said.

“Okay, then I’ll go back first.” Ye Chan stood up and left the room.

“I heard that it wasn’t your people who discovered it?” Ao Ying asked Dai Quan.

Ao Ying’s warm smile disappeared, and Eunuch Dai Quan couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up.

“It seems that it was Princess Ye’s people. Does Your Highness want this servant to…” Dai Quan made a throat-cutting gesture.

“Wait a minute. We haven’t gotten the thing yet. This person is useful.” Ao Ying had the appearance of a strategist. This time, the general he brought with him from the Imperial Duke Xin’s Estate was also his cousin. There were also King Rong’s Generals.

Both of them were extraordinary cultivators. The Green Emperor’s cave must be very dangerous, so they decided to let the magistrate lead the way.

Luring them with benefits, a small magistrate could easily be tempted. When he died, no one would say that he killed them to silence them.

In short, it couldn’t be done openly. At least, his reputation couldn’t be tarnished.

“Your Highness is wise.” Dai Quan immediately thought through this and shouted loudly.

“Give ten catties of Crystal Rice to Magistrate Guanlang.” Ao Ying thought for a moment and said,

“Your Highness, are you really going to marry Princess Ye Chan?” Dai Quanyan suddenly thought of something.

The Zhongyi King had average power, and he has no one in the court or the army. At most, he was a local tyrant who could not influence the court.

To ordinary officials, they were already considered great dukes. Even the Deputy Governor had to be respectful when he saw the Prince, but it was not of much use to the Eighth Prince.

“How is that possible? Don’t even think about being a real wife.”Ao Ying laughed disdainfully.

“It’s impossible for Zhongyi Prince to let his daughter be a concubine.” Dai Quan felt that it was a little ridiculous. Although his power was not great, he was still a Prince.

“Love or not.” Royal Father had a good impression of him recently. When Ao Ying obtained the Green Emperor Treasure and his cultivation surpassed the First Prince, the Ao family would respect ability, and his cultivation and governance would be at the top. Then, the throne would be stable.

There were countless people trying to curry favor with him. To Ao Ying, giving the position of concubine was a gift, and he would never have the chance to do so in the future.

However, now was not the time to talk about this. For now, he had to stabilize Ye Chan and see if he could get something more valuable out of her.

…

The next day.

“Sister Chan, this is General Zhao Fan of the Duke of Xin Estate, and this is Qin Hui, the son of King Rong.” Ao Ying and the two men in armor waited for Ye Chan to arrive.

“Greetings, Brothers.”

“Hello, Princess. I’ve often heard Eighth Brother talk about you.”

The few of them exchanged a few words with each other before boarding their respective carriages and heading toward Guanlang County.

On the way, Ao Ying showed Ye Chan a lot of care, which made Ye Chan believe that she had met a good man.

Soon after, everyone arrived at Guanlang County.

The city was in ruins, and the streets were filled with construction teams.

“Wait! The road is not dry yet, please walk from the side!” The city gate guard hurriedly stopped him.

“How dare you!” The bodyguard whipped the General’s face.

He actually asked the royal family to go through the side door. If it wasn’t a slap in the face, what was it?

The general was sent flying, and the carriage barged in, causing the workers and commoners to fall into disarray. Some of them even had their bones broken.

“Sister Chan, this magistrate’s subordinates have no eyes!” Ao Ying laughed.

“The magistrate is the son of a concubine of the Lin family. He has no upbringing since he was young. Brother, don’t blame me. I’ll teach him a lesson.” Ye Chan felt embarrassed and forced a smile.

The group of people arrived in front of the Yamen. The carriage stopped and they walked out of the carriage.

“Lin Fu, how do you manage your subordinates? They even dare to stop the royal family’s carriage.” Ye Chan asked angrily when she saw He Chuan coming to welcome her.

“Princess, don’t blame me. They are all newly recruited villagers who don’t know the etiquette.” He Chuan was not disdainful of them, but he had to pretend.

Then, Ye Chan introduced the Eighth Prince and the other two generals.

He Chuan cupped his hands and bowed. According to the law of the Great Yan Dynasty, you could not kneel to anyone with a high status except the emperor.

Otherwise, he would rather kill a few pieces of trash.

“Your Highness, tomorrow night is the night of the full moon. I have already arranged a banquet.” He Chuan laughed.

The Eighth Prince didn’t say anything. Of course, he had to give him a face. Otherwise, what would others say? A prince who was arrogant and conceited was not desirable.

Ye Chan did not forget He Chuan and took credit for him.

“In that case, you’ll be in charge of scouting later.” Ao Ying reluctantly agreed, but his heart was already blossoming with laughter.

Just as he was worrying about how to get County Magistrate Guanlang over, Ye Chan took the initiative to give him a chance.

He naturally had to be willing to humble himself to become an official. After all, he had to die when he came back.
