Chapter 36 : Coincidence

After chatting a few more times and sending Mo Xuan away, Pei Si Yan crossed her arms over her chest, her heart still beating too fast, she thought back carefully to everything that had happened before, a happy and joyful smile on her face. In her eyes, the sun shone brighter, as if spring was about to arrive.

In this world, there was no existence more wonderful than love.

Pei Si Yan stood in the courtyard, closed her eyes, tilted her head up, and breathed deeply - falling in love with the "Prince Charming" of her dreams, it was really a great fortune, travelling to the Spirit Abyss Continent was indeed the wisest choice!

"Miss, it's getting late, it's time to meet Lord Wang's men outside the city." A voice rang out coldly, interrupting Pei Si Yan's infinitely beautiful reverie.

She turned around and looked at Li Qingyan who suddenly appeared behind her, patting her chest, "You scared me ... I'll go change my clothes."

Pei Siyan trotted away, and Li Qingye's watery, flat eyes looked towards the sun in the azure sky, the golden yellow light manning the entire world, stinging her eyes raw.

This kind of gorgeous dazzling, although close at hand but out of reach, as that person.

Everything is a dream after all ...

He jerked out his sword, casually waved his hand, rolled up a few pieces of dead leaves, next to the flower bed in the bare branches of the tree "snapped" broke, rolled down on the brick floor, the dead leaves slowly floating down, indescribable loneliness and melancholy.

When Pei Si Yan dressed up as a guard to cover up the appearance of back to the courtyard, away from the light dye has long since returned to the previous cold appearance, he looked at the long hair, dressed in dark purple guard uniforms of the young lady, said faintly: "Young lady, we go out from the side door."

"Hmm." Pei Si Yan answered, hanging her sword on her waist.

Li Qingdian took big steps towards the side door, Pei Si Yan learnt to walk in the man's posture, she just took a few steps and stepped on something and almost slipped, she lifted her feet and looked blankly at a branch that had been splintered, blinked her eyes and hurriedly followed Li Qingdian.

The two of them walked through the market one after the other, out of the city gates, the pedestrians on the road gradually thinned out. Pei Siyan looked behind her and let out a long breath, resuming her usual walking posture, learning to look like a man was a bit of an effort for herself.

Wang Jianshan sent five hundred men and horses to run to the imperial capital overnight and set up camp in a hidden mountain forest. If there was no one familiar with the terrain to lead the way, it was extremely easy to get lost in the woods, so it was quite safe.

The reason why she asked Wang Jianshan for troops and horses, Pei Si Yan was just in case - she didn't have any military power in her own hands, and King Hui could dispatch and command very few men and horses, after all, it was the imperial throne court battle, and anything unexpected could happen at any time, such as fighting and killing, so she had to be ready in terms of manpower, and try her best to keep everything under control.

Maybe, one day she will have to do something like forcing the palace, how can she not have enough soldiers and horses?

Thinking of forcing the palace, Pei Si Yan's heart panicked and swallowed her saliva.

According to the current situation, forcing the palace is unavoidable ... Even if the second prince's power falls, there are other princes, in addition to this method what else can make the emperor obediently pass the throne to the king of Hui?

The more she thought about it, the heavier and more irritable Pei Si Yan's mood became, but before, Mo declared that Bai's matter had made her rejoice again, and her heart felt strange, as if someone had thrown sand into a pot of fragrant broth, and also took a wooden stick and stirred it vigorously for a few times.

"Miss, my subordinate has something to say to you." Li Qingyan's voice rang in his ears.

"Speak."

Li Qingye paused for a moment, seemingly weighing his words, and when Pei Si Yan all but thought that he actually had nothing to say, he spoke, "Miss, please it would be best if you stay away from Mo Xuan, and don't have too much contact with him."

How could Pei Si Yan not have thought that Li Qing Dye would say this to herself, stopping her steps and looking at him in surprise, "Why?"

"Miss, I'm only afraid that the visitor is not good."

Pei Si Yan laughed as if she was listening to a joke, "He is the young lord of Mo Qi Villa, what is not good about him? Could it be that you mean that Mo Ri Mountain Villa is a wannabe jianghu scum? Just like Master Feng Taishi, secretly doing dirty deeds?"

Li Qingyan said, "Miss, you have only met him twice, and he ... doesn't you think it's fishy?"

"Don't think, you haven't heard of a meeting ..." Pei Si Yan's voice suddenly lowered, she coughed twice and continued, "Moqi Villa is a famous and righteous sect of the martial arts, respected by the people of Jiangnan, and has been in business for several years, with a rich family background , with a wide range of connections, it's rare to have such a good family lineage. And Mo Xuan his character is also good, always better than the family elders to introduce me to the dude right?"

Li Qingyan asked seriously, "Miss, do you really plan to marry Mo Xuan?"

Pei Si Yan's face reddened and laughed, "Who would know about the future?" She stepped forward, "If I feel happy and at ease with him, I will naturally keep him."

Li Qingyan's face turned grey in an instant, he lowered his head, "Miss, my subordinate still has to advise you not to get too close to Mo Xuan, my subordinate thinks that he must be approaching miss for some purpose."

Pei Si Yan pouted/pouted her mouth and glanced back at Li Qing Dye.

What's wrong with this guy today? What's the point of properly going to suspect her boyfriend?

Come to think of it, what point of Mo Xuan's could make someone suspicious?

Could it be the mask?

Maybe, he is a jianghu person wearing a mask to be cool?

Pei Si Yan shook his head, no, he used to watch too many martial arts dramas, so he felt that wearing a mask was to play it cool ... But the people of this Spirit Abyss continent, it is estimated that apart from the nymphomaniacs, anyone would be suspicious.

In order to put this multi-centred long history comrade's heart at ease, Pei Si Yan prevaricated, "Anyway, don't worry, I have my own measure."

Li Qingye fell silent, his handsome face was indifferent as usual, only in his eyes there was an unconcealed worry and helplessness.

The two of them continued to walk forward, and in a short time, they came to a small forest. In winter, the trees are bare with only a few broken dead leaves left, the ground is piled up with a thick layer of fallen leaves, stepping on it, there is a slight "click" sound, the cold wind whistles from the branches of the trees, although the sun is still hanging in the sky, but the surrounding grey and gloomy piece of the world, no one else's shadow.

Pei Si Yan looked around and asked, "Is it an appointment to meet here?"

"Yes."

"But where are the people ..."

Just as Pei Si Yan was chanting, a silhouette descended from the sky and landed right in front of her, Pei Si Yan was startled and backed away to avoid it.

"Junior Wang Linye pays her respects to Lord Wuban."

Pei Si Yan fixed her eyes on the other side, the other side was a showy teenager in his late teens, bowing respectfully at forty-five degrees.

She was a little surprised, according to Wang Mishan's letter, wasn't Wang Linye the person in charge of commanding the five hundred soldiers and horses? Surprisingly, it was an eighteen or nineteen year old teenager?

"You, hello, no need to be polite." Pei Si Yan froze in greeting.

Wang Linye straightened up and revealed a bright smile, "My lord, please follow me to the camp." After saying that, he made a gesture of please.

Wang Linye led Pei Si Yan and Li Qing Dye around the woods, the trees were getting denser and denser, the withered grass was almost as tall as half a person, the dense branches of some evergreen trees covered the sky, Pei Si Yan soon couldn't tell the south east and west.

"I said ...," Pei Si Yan asked Li Shengyan in a low voice, "There are no wild beasts here, right?"

"There are."

Pei Si Yan's expression was dumbfounded for a second or two, and she followed closely behind Wang Lin Ye, expecting to arrive at the camp as soon as possible.

After walking for about half an hour's effort, Wang Linye said, "My lord, we've arrived."

Pei Si Yan stepped over the prone trees on the ground, and when he lifted his head, he found that the sky opened up before him, and bright sunlight flooded the earth. On the wide grey grass, there were countless tents scattered, a team of neatly arranged soldiers were practicing martial arts with one move and one stance, and in the distance, there was a faint white smoke circling towards the sky.

A middle-aged man saw them and immediately ordered the soldiers to stop their drills, respectfully kneeling down on one knee to salute Pei Siyan, shouting in unison, "Lord Wuban!"

"Quickly please rise." Pei Si Yan smiled as she walked over and personally assisted the middle-aged man, "Everyone has worked hard."

The middle-aged man politely said, "It is an honour for the little ones to serve your lordship."

"Your Excellency," Wang Linye walked over and said, "The five hundred men who came this time are all brave generals carefully selected by Lord Wang, with high martial arts skills, they can fight one against one hundred."

Pei Si Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you Sir Wang on my behalf."

Wang Linye said, "My lord, I'll take you around."

"Well," Pei Si Yan smiled gently and kindly, and said loudly to the soldiers, "All of you have worked hard, and will definitely be heavily rewarded on the day when the great work is completed! If there is anything wrong here, I will do my best to help."

"Thank you Lord Wuban!" The generals shouted neatly.

Pei Si Yan turned her head and said to Wang Lin Ye, "Let's go. By the way, is there enough food and grass in the camp? It's cold at night in the mountains, do the generals have warm clothing?"

Wang Linye owed, "Please don't worry, my lord, everything is fine."

"Then I am relieved."

Pei Si Yan stayed at the camp until evening, purposely staying behind to have dinner with the generals, who were all very happy about her approachability, and their morale was high. Only then was Pei Si Yan satisfied and rushed back to the imperial capital before the city gates closed.

The imperial capital at night was still immersed in a hustle and bustle. The marketplace was decorated with lights and colours, illuminating half the sky, and people who had been busy all day went to taverns and green houses in groups to spend their time, chattering and chatting about happy things, and from time to time, from somewhere came the sound of loud and joyful laughter.

"Miss," Li Qingye shouted, pulling Pei Si Yan's hand, vigilantly scanning the crowd on the street, "There are too many people, let's return to the mansion from the small road."

"Oh." Pei Si Yan looked at the beautiful lanterns with some reluctance, this was the first time she had come out at night, she had never seen the lively scene of the imperial capital at night before. However, considering the safety issue, she could only listen to Li Qingyan's words and turn to a side path with fewer people.

As soon as she arrived at the less crowded place, Pei Si Yan opened her words, excitedly thinking about what she saw and heard in the camp, "Saying that, the soldiers trained by Lord Wang are really extraordinary, look at them practicing one move at a time."

"Miss, did you tell His Highness King Hui about this group of men?"

Pei Si Yan shook her head vigorously, her complexion becoming slightly uneasy, "I didn't tell him, I always feel that I have to keep a backhand in everything. That's why I told you to rest assured that nothing will go wrong with Mo Xuan and I together ah?"

She laughed again, striding into an alley. There were a few fires in the alley, a small sedan chair was parked in a back doorway, and a few men dressed as servants held lanterns, carefully illuminating the road. A woman dressed as a flowery woman was full of pandering smiles, standing respectfully in front of the small sedan chair.

The palanquin curtains lifted noiselessly, the man inside stepped out, the firelight illuminated his handsome young face, he swept his eyes disdainfully at the woman, and said, "It's all been arranged, right?"

"Yes, all arranged according to your orders."

"Well, very good." A hint of a smile finally appeared on the man's face, and he walked into the small door with his hands behind his back.

The woman waved her hand and signalled her servant to go and place the sedan chair, then went after the young man.

Pei Si Yan reflexively hid behind a pile of sundries to the side while seeing the young man's appearance and secretly watched their movements.

Only after a few people had left did she come out from behind the pile of debris, looking up at the towering fence, from the courtyard came the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of dainty laughter.

Pei Si Yan understood that it was the back door of a green house.

And the young man who had just walked in was surprisingly His Highness the Second Prince!

"The always self-restrained and quiet Second Prince would come to a greenhouse? I'm not mistaken, am I?"

"Miss, it is indeed the Second Prince."

Pei Si Yan immediately turned around and walked back, laughing with excitement, "I was worried that I couldn't catch the Second Prince. I'd like to see which girl has hooked the Second Prince's soul, making him bold enough to quietly run to the greenhouse."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyan caught up a few steps to stop her, "Miss, this is a greenhouse!"

"What does it matter?" Pei Si Yan spread her arms, "Besides you, who knows that I'm not a male? Just going in to take a look. It's not easy to seize the opportunity, how can I let it go so easily?"

Li Qingyan was speechless and could only follow behind the young lady.

Entering the green house, there were immediately a few gorgeous women flocking up, there were dainty ones jumping towards Pei Si Yan's arms, and there was also a hand pulling on her hand, "My lord, please come in."

Pei Si Yan cried and laughed a bit at their enthusiasm, tugging over Li Qing Zhan, letting him help himself. Li Qingye had a stern face and stood straight, ignoring the prostitutes, but it was hard to hide a little bit of embarrassment.

Pei Siyan got free and observed the greenhouse and saw the old/pimp leading the second prince up to the first floor. A door opened, a woman in white came out, her appearance can be described as a beautiful country, unlike other greenhouse women dressed so bewitching, but like a white lotus clean and pure, exudes a bookish atmosphere, and the noisy and extravagant surroundings seem out of place.

Pei Siyan hurriedly grabbed the woman beside her, pointing at the "white lotus" upstairs, asking: "Who is she? It's so beautiful!"

The woman glanced back and immediately revealed an expression of jealousy and disgust, coldly replying, "She is Shirong, our Floating Fragrance House's flower leader ..." Saying this, she began to stick to Pei Si Yan, ringed her neck and lightly laughed, "Sir! , Shirong was named Flower Leader shortly after she first came to Floating Fragrance House, and then that gentleman bagged her, and doesn't take on any other guests. So, please let Rong Mei serve you ..."

Pei Si Yan desperately tried to break away, but the more she struggled the tighter that greenhouse woman hugged her. She haphazardly/fumbled for a few silver tickets in her arms and said with great effort, "You can order some wine and food first, and I'll reward you with the extra."

As soon as the greenhouse girl saw the silver tickets, her eyes were as bright as a wolf's, she joyfully received the silver tickets, "Sir, please take a seat, Rong Mei will be back in a while." After saying that, she ran away in a huff.

The other women saw that the guest had already ordered someone, and walked away in a depressed manner to greet the guests who came in afterwards.

"The Second Prince should really like that woman called Shirong, right?" Pei Si Yan smiled maliciously, "Immediately send someone to spy on Shirong, I want to know the second prince's every move here."

"Yes." Li Qingye bowed his head and led the order.

Pei Si Yan finished stretching comfortably and walked towards the outside of the greenhouse, "Go, go home!"
