Chapter 147 I Will Shorten My Life!

rm breaths brushed against her cheeks, Yun An'an had already forgotten how many times her heart had skipped a beat today.This guy, when is he going to learn how to flirt"I need to pee!"Excuses to go t...[ ]

The black-clad robber glared angrily, a long blade glinting ominously in his hand.

"Big brother... this is the Smoke and Rain Tower. We only rob wealth, not people. Isn't that a loss"

The man in black's underlings were very confused.

The Smoke and Rain Tower, even the tea-serving maids are so beautiful it makes one's heart race, let alone the stunning beauties before their eyes.

Take Shen Niciang, the first courtesan of Yuyan Tower, for example. Countless people have offered exorbitant sums just to catch a glimpse of her, yet now she stands right before them.

The boss said they only robbed money, not women. What a shame!

Moreover, the woman in white was even more captivating, surpassing Shen Ni Chang's beauty. Just looking at her made one's heart skip a beat.

"Seventh Brother, just let your younger brother have a taste. As for this woman in white, your younger brother hasn't had a meal like this in ages."

The man in black saw his subordinate gnawing on something and waved his hand.

"You're fast, don't delay the boss's business, or else none of our ten heads will be spared."

Got it~hehe~

With a greedy gulp, the robber's henchman in black walked towards Yun An'an.

Seeing those dirty claws about to grab Yun An'an, the girl named Qing who had been squatting aside stood up and forcefully bumped into the man.

"You... you want to kill me Come at me!"

When she said those words, Qing'er had already anticipated the tragic fate that awaited her.

But she cannot allow the Yi Wangfu to be humiliated, not even a bit.

"You're a pretty little thing, aren't you Well then, old man's gonna use you as practice first. Then I'll let her have a taste later."

Saying that, the man in black grabbed Qing's hair and dragged her into the inner room.

What was going to happen next, everyone in attendance understood clearly. Sadly, most chose to look the other way, as if it were none of their concern.

Anyway, they're in this line of work. Saving their lives is the most important thing.

Well, I was thinking about getting a taste of being kidnapped for fun, but you guys opened the door to hell yourselves. Don't blame me.

Yun An'an, helped up, slowly rose to her feet. The ropes holding her hands loosened, and before the black-clad man in the mask could speak, a white shadow flickered ominously.

Click—

Yun An'an wielded her fan like a hook, ending the man's life.

"Qingfeng."

The two characters "Qingfeng" fell, a green figure leaped into the inner room in a few strides. With three or two moves, he ended another black-clad man's life, rescuing Miss Qing.

"Your Highness, the Princess,"

Seeing that Yun An was safe and sound, Qing Nv's heart was put at ease. She didn't say anything more.

"Silly girl, these dogs can't possibly hurt this Princess!"

"The princess consort is fine and well, what's a dog to her"

The sunny girl asked curiously, Yun An'an’s face flashed with embarrassment.

"Well... nothing. You guys just stay here for now. This princess and Qingfeng are going to save people. Don't make a sound, we don't want to alert them."

Seijun chuckled beside her, though he didn't understand the chill in those two words. From the Duchess's mouth, nothing good ever came out anyway.

"What are you laughing at Get dressed."

Yun'an and Qingfeng put on the black-clothed people's clothes, holding knives and mixed into the crowd.

About a quarter of an hour later, Han Qing's voice rang out outside the gate of Yanyulou.

Han Qing, leading his soldiers, surrounded the Yan Yu Lou.

The leader of the Black Coats had known all along they would be surrounded, yet he walked down the stairs at his own pace, facing off against Han Qing outside the door.

"General Han, don't worry so much. If you get anxious, my knife won't be steady."

The guests at the Yan Yu Lou are either wealthy or noble, and it's possible that kings and nobles from various countries mingle among them.

If one really dies, a prince, son of a duke or whatever, it becomes an international issue.

"Get me twenty-seven swift steeds, or by nightfall, I shall have a man killed."

The Black Cloaks had gathered in the main hall of Smoke and Rain Tower, their gleaming blades flashing as they chopped down heads one by one.

Han Qing didn't dare to recklessly charge in, but he also couldn't let the bandits leave under his nose.

"Just a few more minutes, I'm running out of patience. Ten breaths left."

"Ten."

"Nine."

"...."

The boss in black counts down.

Three.

"Two."

"One."

As one word fell, the man in black drew his sword and slashed at someone's neck.

As the man's head was about to fall, with a sudden bang, Yun An'an's long sword pierced the black-clothed leader's heart. She kicked aside the black-clothed men beside her.

"Han Qing, I'm waiting for your grandma's legs, hurry up and come in!"

The voice of Yun An'an came from within the Smoke and Rain Tower. Han Qing was stunned for a moment, then immediately waved his hand, ordering his soldiers to charge in.

Han Qing is not afraid of the people in black, but worried that the hostages will be hurt.

But within Yun'an, the coordinated attack caught the assailants off guard. In that moment of confusion, a one-sided assault ultimately captured all the bandits.

"Hi there."

Han Qing took three steps and two steps to run in front of Yun An'an, looking up and down at the woman in black from head to toe with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"How did you get here"

"Too lazy to explain."

Rubbing his ear, Yun An'an didn't want to waste too much time explaining these unimportant things.

"Are you hurt"

Han Qing stepped forward again, and Seijuro took a step to block his path.

"General Han, please refrain from these actions that could lead to misunderstandings. My wife does not wish to be troubled by rumors and gossip because of you."

Looking at Han Qing, Qifeng's face and eyes were full of displeasure.

I didn't cherish it before, and now I regret it. It's too late!

Yun An'an is the mistress of their Yiwangfu, the wife of their Wangye. You, a general, are always trying to curry favor with her. What do you mean by that

"Oh my, Yi Wangfei, my celestial being! You are the benefactor of our Yanyu Lou!"

Hua Ma cried out and ran to Yun An'an, kneeling down before her and kowtowing in gratitude.

"I heard from Girl Qing that if it weren't for you, not only would she be in trouble, but even our Yanyulou wouldn't have escaped unscathed today."

"Your great kindness, I could never repay in lifetimes. Here, I bow my head to you."

Not only did Hua Mama kneel, but many of the girls from Yan Yu Lou also knelt down, crying with a mixture of fear and relief after the ordeal.

It's known that it's gratitude, but the unknown still thinks she's crying for her.

"Still, get up. I'm unworthy to receive such a great gift from you."

What's going on these days!

Gongsun Zan bowed to her.

Mother Flower knelt before her.

I don't know if my lifespan is long enough, or if I can hold on.

"Well then, if there's nothing else, this Princess will be taking her leave."

Yun'an'an truly couldn't stand this scene of gratitude. She would rather be fighting on the battlefield.

As the crowds bid farewell, Yun Anan signaled Qingfeng to drive away quickly from Yan Yu Lou.

"Haha, it seems even the noble princess can be bothered sometimes."

Qingfeng laughed without a care, thinking that the princess was made of iron and could handle any situation.

Even I get scared sometimes.

"Silence is death."

Glancing at Qingfeng, Yun An'an leaned half against the fur cushion, thinking about the kidnapping of Yanyulou.

It may seem like a small thing, but the problem can grow big if it's not addressed.

More than twenty black-clad robbers stormed into the Yan Yu Lou in broad daylight, taking hostages.

Is the goal just to steal It shouldn't be that simple.

Without mentioning that point, over twenty black-clad bandits appeared brazenly, and in Kyoto no less, under the Emperor's very feet…

"Qingfeng, who is responsible for the security of Kyoto"

“Minister of War Gao Lin and the Imperial Guard, Gao Lin is the one who took the Prince to Yanyu Tower.”

Qingfeng specially noted who Gao Lin was.

Who is the commander of the Golden Guard

"Zhang Heng, son of Zhang Yuan, Minister of Dali Temple."

The Grand Secretary of Dali Temple is under the jurisdiction of the imperial family, and the Jinwu Guards naturally belong to Beichen Han's power.

Whether it's Minister of War Gao Pangan or the Commander of the Golden Guard Zhang Heng, today's matter is indeed a serious one.

Where is Han Qing

As for the Queen's words, although General Han has died, his nephew, Han Qing, is now the head of the Han family and a close relative of Tai Hou Han Ying.

Oh~

How could she have forgotten this

As long as Empress Dowager Han Ying is alive, Han Qing won't die anytime soon. However, the timing of Han Qing's appearance today was quite coincidental.

"Your Highness, are you suspecting that General Han had something to do with today's events"

"Huh I didn't say that. You thought of it yourself with your clever little brain, didn't you"

There's no three hundred taels of silver here, why is Yun Anan smiling so innocently when she's the thief

Who cares!

As long as her interests are not touched, it doesn't matter if the Northern Star Country becomes a complete mess.

It was already evening when we returned to Yiwu Mansion.

Yunan'an thought that Beichen Yi would come back, but the news came that he had something urgent to attend to in the palace and couldn't leave. He might even stay in the palace overnight.

A young eunuch in the palace respectfully presented a menu.

"This is the meal the Emperor ordered, so I'll trouble Her Highness Princess Yi to personally deliver it into the palace. The Emperor said he has prepared good wine to drink with the Regent King, so Princess Yi doesn't need to bring any."

"Anything else"

"Well... His Majesty also said that the fried chicken made by Your Highness, Yi Wangfei, was very delicious. I'd trouble Your Highness to make some more."

As soon as the words left his lips, the eunuch remained standing there.

"Can you just say it all at once"

Yún n'ān narrowed her eyes, very displeased.

"The Emperor then said, 'Fried chicken should be bigger than the Regent's.'"

"Alright, you go back to Beichen Han. If you want fried chicken, this princess will have him eat his fill all at once."

After the eunuch conveyed the imperial decree, he bowed and left Yiwang Mansion.

In the kitchen, Yun An'an rolled up her sleeves and started cooking while muttering insults at Bei Chenhan.

If it weren't for Beichen Yi, she wouldn't even bother going to the palace to deliver takeout.

It took about an hour for all the food to be prepared.

Yun An'an carried a lunch box onto the carriage, and at that moment, a figure with swift strides also dashed onto the carriage.

If they hadn't seen who was coming, the guards of Duke Yi's Mansion wouldn't have hesitated to chop Old Master Wang into ten thousand pieces.

"Heh heh, from far away I could already smell the fragrance. Coincidentally, I'm going to the palace too, let's go together! slurp~~"

Old King Wang arrived at the Yi Mansion right on time to catch a ride into the palace. He could also grab some food and drink while he was there, it was quite nice.

"Yun Yatou... don't look at this old man with such eyes, this old man is afraid."

"Old Wang, I have a question for you. You must answer truthfully, or I'll throw you down right now."

"Well, you ask anything of this old man and I shall answer truthfully."

Old Wang nodded like pounding garlic, obediently sitting in the carriage and waiting for an answer to his question.

"If one day I lose my value, Old Master Wang, would you kill me at the first opportunity"ss and the woman he spoke of were completely different. Moreover, you are a good cook, skilled in medicine, and most importantly, the King is happy with you."Since the princess entered the household,...
