Chapter 291 Looking for Cui Jiangjiang
Tao Yao smiled weakly after hearing Xu Yingying's answer, "Okay... Thank you, then... I will help you one last time!"
After that, a gust of wind blew, and Xu Yingying and Li Siqi subconsciously closed their eyes.
Tao Yao used all her strength to send Xu Yingying and Li Siqi to the border between the Western Regions and Dafeng.
However, when Xu Yingying and Li Siqi opened their eyes again, they found that they had arrived at the border.
"Is this... the Dafeng border?" Li Siqi asked uncertainly.
"Yes, we are going home." Xu Yingying said excitedly.
"That's great." Li Siqi, who was originally exhausted, seemed to be motivated at this moment.
In this way, the wounded Xu Yingying and Li Siqi supported each other and walked towards Dafeng.
As they were walking, they saw a carriage coming towards them. Li Siqi recognized at a glance that it was a special carriage used by the Dafeng Army. He quickly blocked the carriage with his body and forced it to stop.
The driver looked at Li Siqi at a loss. The person inside the carriage opened the carriage curtain impatiently and said in a very unhappy tone: "Who are you? Why are you blocking my carriage? Do you know who I am?"
Li Siqi did not say anything, but weakly took out a jade token from his pocket that could prove his identity. After doing this, Li Siqi fainted.
Seeing this, Xu Yingying hurriedly supported Li Siqi.
The people in the carriage also changed their expressions instantly when they saw Li Siqi's token, "This is... the Seventh Prince. Your humble servant is here to attend the Seventh Prince's banquet."
"Okay, don't worry about the etiquette, just help His Highness into the car!" Xu Yingying couldn't help but speak when she saw this.
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
After saying that, he quickly jumped off the horse and then he and Xu Yingying hurriedly helped Li Siqi onto the carriage.
After Xu Yingying got on the carriage, she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
The man explained, "My name is Li Yong, and I am a spy sent by the Emperor to investigate the situation in the Western Regions."
Hearing this, Xu Yingying finally let go of the heavy stone in her heart, "Oh, so that's it!"
In this way, under the guidance of the coachman and the spy, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi were successfully sent back to the palace.
When the emperor learned that Li Siqi and Xu Yingying had returned, he was overjoyed and excited and went to see Li Siqi immediately.
When the emperor arrived, he found Li Siqi lying on the bed unconscious with a pale face.
"My son, my son!" said the emperor with great heartache.
After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Yingying and subconsciously wanted to blame her for not taking good care of Li Siqi, but when he turned around, he found that Xu Yingying was also covered in wounds.
The emperor's words of reproach turned into a question, "What happened when you and my son went to the Western Regions?"
Xu Yingying reluctantly told the emperor the whole story, of course omitting Tao Yao's story.
After saying this, Xu Yingying boldly suggested to the emperor: "Father, since His Highness and my daughter-in-law have returned safely, why don't you withdraw your troops and return to the court! Now that the Western Region is in turmoil, it is not the best time to start a war."
The emperor was slightly stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he felt that what Xu Yingying said made sense, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Okay, let's do as you say!"
"Come here, follow my order and let the soldiers who are attacking the Western Regions return to the capital!" The emperor waved his hand and gave the order.
"I obey your command." Su Shengyuan said and hurried to handle it.
At the same time, in the Western Regions.
In the palace.
"What did you say? The Han people in Dafeng actually withdrew their troops. Did you get the wrong information?"
Ye Dina asked the spy beside her with an incredible look on her face.
"Your Highness, I saw this with my own eyes. The place where the Han army was originally stationed is now deserted." The spy reported truthfully.
"Damn it! They actually dared to play tricks on this princess." Ye Dina said gritting her teeth.
Turning around, Ye Dina asked the spy again: "Have you found out about Xu Yingying and Li Siqi? Where did they escape to?"
The spy looked very scared when he heard this and said, "Reporting... Your Highness, according to the information I have gathered, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying are said to have returned to the palace in Dafeng."
When Ye Dina heard this, she became furious instantly. She stood up and smashed everything on the table.
"Damn it, what are the people under you doing? You couldn't even keep an eye on two living people and actually let them escape. What's the point of keeping a bunch of good-for-nothings like you!"
"And that ungrateful Li Siqi is simply mentally ill. I've been so kind to him, but he's still unwilling to stay in our Western Regions."
Ye Dina said viciously, and at the same time she felt great resentment towards Li Siqi in her heart.
This resentment gradually turned into an obsession, forcing Ye Dina to get Li Siqi at all costs.
Ye Dina was naturally very clear that she had to become the ruler of the Western Region before she could do what she wanted. It happened that Ye Luwen was almost dying during this period. In order to fight for the throne, Ye Dina actually found a random guard and held a wedding.
Naturally, Ye Dina had no feelings for the guards.
Ye Dina felt that the reason she had come to where she was today was all because of Li Siqi and Xu Yingying, so she secretly swore in her heart.
If she became the next Khan of the Western Regions, the first thing she would do after taking office would be to chop off Xu Yingying's head and then imprison Li Siqi by her side for the rest of his life, slowly torturing him.
At this time, Li Siqi was still lying in Prince Qi's Mansion and had no idea what was happening in the Western Regions.
Under the care of the imperial doctors in turn, Li Siqi successfully saved his life because he received timely treatment.
After a few days, Li Siqi woke up.
Li Siqi slowly opened his eyes. Looking at everything familiar in front of him, he suddenly asked excitedly, "Where's Yingying? Where did Yingying go?"
Xu Yingying, who was standing by, was immediately excited when she saw this: "You're awake? Great, I'm here, we're going home, back to Dafeng."
"Well, that's great." Li Siqi said excitedly.
The next second, due to his overly intense reaction, he accidentally touched the wound on his body, "hiss."
Seeing this, Xu Yingying hurriedly helped him down and continued to lie down, "Come on, lie down quickly, the imperial physician said that you have a lot of injuries on your body, you need to rest for a while."
Xu Yingying warned.
"Okay!" Li Siqi replied strangely.
After settling Li Siqi, Xu Yingying did not forget Tao Yao's instructions to her. She quickly called her subordinates and told them to investigate the whereabouts of a girl named "Cui Jiangjiang".
Unfortunately, she asked her subordinates to inquire for a long time but there was no news. Li Siqi's subordinates were extremely efficient. If there was no result in a day or two, there were only two possibilities. The first possibility was that this person did not exist in the world at all, and the second possibility was that Cui Jiangjiang was already dead.
