Chapter 1146 Reasons for returning to the capital

"Go back to the Imperial Capital? Why are you suddenly going back when you are so good?" Wu Fan asked subconsciously, feeling quite surprised.

Before, the old emperor wrote a letter asking Zhao Qi to go back, but Zhao Qi didn't agree. Huang Ze tried hard to persuade, but Zhao Qi still didn't agree. Wu Fan also tried to persuade her, but it still had no effect. Just when Wu Fan thought that Zhao Qi wanted to go back. While she had been staying in Qingyuan County, she suddenly said she wanted to return to the imperial capital. Wu Fan was naturally very curious about the reason.

"Why don't you go back? Are you annoying if you stay here?" Zhao Qi glanced at Xiang Yu'er and said angrily.

Wu Fan was slightly embarrassed. In order to prevent the secret of his teleportation from being exposed, he did deliberately avoid Zhao Qi. It seemed that this girl noticed it and caused a misunderstanding.

"You misunderstood. How could anyone here dislike you?" Wu Fan said.

"Do you want me to stay?" Zhao Qi looked at Wu Fan and asked with some expectation in his eyes.

Huang Ze's eyes immediately glared over, signaling Wu Fan not to keep Zhao Qi.

Wu Fan didn't pay attention to Huang Ze's eyes, but Zhao Qi's eyes made him a little bit overwhelmed: "I... of course I want you to stay."

Although Wu Fan was worried that Zhao Qi would find something strange because he had the secret of teleportation, and he did not want to stay in the Wu Mansion for a long time, but when he saw that Zhao Qi was leaving, Wu Fan still felt a little reluctant to leave. Although Zhao Qi was a precious person, The princess of Yanfeng Kingdom is also the most beloved princess of His Majesty the Emperor. She has no airs about Wu Fan. The two of them usually get along more like friends. Zhao Qi even spends his time researching new dishes for Wu Fan every day. , also helped Wu Fan when he was in the imperial capital Yanyang City. Wu Fan still liked getting along with Zhao Qi like this.

"Forget it, your words are not sincere at first glance." Zhao Qi turned her head away, not letting Wu Fan see the trace of reluctance in her eyes: "I have been out for a while, and I miss the imperial capital and my father. , I will not stay in Qingyuan County. In fact, there is nothing interesting in Qingyuan County, and there is nothing worthy of nostalgia. I have wanted to leave for a long time. "

After saying that, Zhao Qi stopped looking at Wu Fan and walked straight out.

"Master Wu, we will meet again later." Huang Ze handed over to Wu Fan and followed him out with his guards.

On the contrary, Xiao Qing deliberately lagged a few steps behind. After Zhao Qi left, she whispered to Wu Fan: "Mr. Wu, the reason why the princess went back is because there was another letter from the imperial capital. The letter said that Your Majesty is unwell and has relapsed. I want to I want to see the princess, but actually, the princess doesn’t want to go back.”

"I understand, take good care of her on the way." Wu Fan nodded and said.

"This slave knows." Xiao Qing bowed to Wu Fan, and then followed him out.

Looking at the backs of Zhao Qi and others leaving, Wu Fan felt a little sad. When Zhao Qi had been pestering him before and asked him to try the dishes, he wanted Zhao Qi to leave early. When it was inconvenient for him to teleport, he also thought about letting Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi left, but now that Zhao Qi was really gone, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Wu Fan had someone call Tang San over and said to him: "Send some guards to secretly protect the princess and her party."

"Yes, sir." Tang San immediately accepted the order and left.

The world is not peaceful nowadays, and the distance from Qingyuan County to the imperial capital is not close. The palace guard team led by Huang Ze also suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle with Zhou Dalong. Wu Fan is still a little dissatisfied with Zhao Qi and others. Rest assured.

"Can't bear to leave?" After Tang San left, Xiang Yu'er's voice rang in Wu Fan's ears.

"A bit." Wu Fan didn't hide it, and sat down next to Xiang Yu'er again: "I didn't feel much when she was here, but I was a little bit reluctant to leave her."

"Then you can keep her. I can see that as long as you insist on staying, she will stay." Xiang Yu'er said.

"Do I have such a great reputation?" Wu Fan said with a smile: "Forget it, her father is sick and wants to see her, so it is not appropriate for me to keep her by force. But, speaking of it, her father is us The old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom seems to have never been in good health. The last time I saw him in the imperial capital, his condition was not very good. This time he fell ill again. I don’t know what the specific situation is. Today’s Yanfeng Kingdom , this is not the Yanfeng Country decades ago. To say that it is in turmoil may be an exaggeration, but it is true that it is surrounded by dangers. If he collapses, the consequences will be unimaginable. "

As the viscount of Yanfeng Kingdom and the magistrate of Qingyuan County, Wu Fan is naturally very concerned about the situation in Yanfeng Kingdom. Although he has wiped out the rebel forces around Qingyuan County in a short period of time, Wu Fan The situation in other cities is not optimistic. Some cities may even be captured by the rebels at any time.

If the old emperor is still here, he can still stabilize the people's hearts and control the ministers. Once something happens to him, the Yanfeng Kingdom will definitely change. None of the princes of the Yanfeng Kingdom can compare with the old emperor's ability, and , the old emperor has not yet decided on the candidate for the crown prince. If something happens to him, it is almost certain that the Yanfeng Kingdom will fall into chaos.

Although Wu Fan still has the status of Marquis of Nanping Kingdom, his roots are still in Yanfeng Kingdom, so he naturally does not want anything to happen to Yanfeng Kingdom.

Wu Fan was worried about the situation in Yanfeng Country, thinking about how he would deal with it if Yanfeng Country changed drastically, but found that Xiang Yuer looked indifferent. When Wu Fan saw this, he smiled and said: "You and I What are you talking about? You are not from Yanfeng Country, so you are not interested in these things."

"Mortal people only have a life span of a few decades, so what if they have power and wealth, glory and wealth are just fleeting." Xiang Yu'er said lightly.

Xiang Yuer was not really interested in what Wu Fan said. If she had that little time, she would even rather study pastries.

"How can people live in this world without emotions?" Wu Fan smiled and said, "It's not shameful to pursue power and wealth. It's better to live a life with pursuits than to live a life in a muddle. Of course, people can't just care about these things in their lives."

Wu Fan had experienced the distress of having no money. He knew how many troubles people would have without money. So, when he just got the ring, he was so keen on making money. Even now, he has not completely given up making money. He doesn't think there is anything shameful about it, as long as he doesn't do anything to get it and doesn't indulge in it.

Xiang Yuer didn't comment on Wu Fan's words, didn't agree with his point of view, and didn't ridicule him for being obsessed with money and power.

Wu Fan didn't care. This was his own idea, and he didn't mean to force others to accept it.

While Wu Fan and Xiang Yuer were sitting silently in the courtyard, the old emperor, who was far away in the imperial capital of Yanfeng Kingdom, was sitting in the imperial study, staring at a letter on the table in a daze.
