Chapter 832: Chapter 730, Encounter with an Old Friend

"You two have been getting on with your duties smoothly lately, haven’t you?"

In the evening, Xiao Yeyang walked out of the Jinling Guard Office together with Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai.

Ever since returning to Beijing, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai were no longer working under Xiao Yeyang. Xue Xiang had reassigned them with new tasks, and now both could stand on their own.

Yan Wenkai chuckled, "Don’t worry, everything’s going fine."

Without following Yeyang, though they no longer had the previous conveniences, and from time to time some who refused to accept their authority would pop up, both he and his third brother had taught them using their fists how to behave properly.

Xiao Yeyang nodded his head. "That’s good to hear. Speak up if you encounter any difficulties. The Jinling Guard is not without its cracks. Be more cautious in the future and, if you can, report directly to the Commander and skip going through others."

Yan Wenkai ’hmmed’ in agreement, secretly glad that he and his third brother had their own confidants groomed in Zhongzhou and the Northern Frontier; otherwise, in Beijing, many of their tasks would be difficult to carry out.

Yan Wentao noticed the furrowed brow of Xiao Yeyang and asked, "Are there really members of the Eight Princes Party still active?"

Xiao Yeyang gave a nod.

Yan Wentao frowned. "That shouldn’t be, the body of the Eighth Prince was personally inspected by the Commander, and we were there too, it couldn’t have been faked. Since the Eighth Prince is already dead, who would continue to take orders from a dead man?"

Xiao Yeyang’s eyes darkened, and he said somberly, "The Eighth Prince is dead, but his son is still alive."

Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai both paused for a moment.

Xiao Yeyang’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Although Xiao Yechi was forced by us to flee into the swamp, whether he is dead or alive, nobody can confirm."

Yan Wenkai scowled. "But didn’t the local herdsmen say that the swamp was a place of no return, and anyone who entered it never came out alive?"

Xiao Yeyang: "...how can things in this world be so absolute? There’s always a chance."

Hearing this, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai fell silent.

After a while, Yan Wenkai, seeing that Xiao Yeyang was still following them, couldn’t help saying, "Are you going to my house for dinner again?"

Xiao Yeyang glanced sideways at him. "Are you not welcoming me?"

Yan Wenkai shrugged. "How would I dare?"

The three rode their horses at a steady pace, and after reaching Dhamar Street and seeing many soldiers on the street, Xiao Yeyang hurriedly sent De Fu to inquire.

Soon, De Fu returned. "Master, Third Lord, Fourth Lord, the third son of the Duke Residence has been assassinated, and now the eldest son is capturing people everywhere."

Xiao Yeyang frowned. "Who did it?"

De Fu: "They say it was a lady, I couldn’t find out more."

Yan Wenkai laughed. "Could it be the result of a romantic entanglement gone wrong?"

Yan Wentao: "Daring to assassinate the legitimate son of the Duke Residence, this matter must be no simple affair."

Xiao Yeyang, uninterested in the matter and seeing that dusk approached, urged them on. "Alright, don’t mind other people’s business, let’s head back. I shouldn’t stay too late at the Yan Residence, if I’m late, then the time I have with Yiyi will be short."

They quickly passed through Dhamar Street and as they were about to go through the street southward to Easten Street, they saw the carriage set up by Bi Shi.

Upon noticing the carriage, Xiao Yeyang immediately spurred his horse forward.

When Bi Shi saw Xiao Yeyang and the others, her eyes immediately brightened.

"Why are you driving the carriage? Where is the coachman?"

Xiao Yeyang dismounted and before Bi Shi could speak, he lifted the carriage curtain. His previously smiling face froze upon seeing only Hong Ying inside the carriage.

"Where is your lady?"

Xiao Yeyang frowned, looking towards Bi Shi.

Then, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai also arrived.

Bi Shi quickly bowed to the three men and succinctly explained about Dong Yuanyao’s assassination attempt on the third son: "There were soldiers inspecting the carriage earlier, and the lady took Mrs. Dong to escape from the rear of a clothing shop. We were supposed to meet up, but something went wrong, so I got separated from the lady. Now Yan Ying has gone to look for the lady."

After hearing Bi Shi’s words, Xiao Yeyang and the others were somewhat astonished.

Dong Yuanyao killed Luo Hongyuan of the Duke Residence!!!

Yan Wentao looked to De Fu. "Did you just say that the third son has died?"

De Fu nodded. "They say his heart was pierced, and he couldn’t be saved."

Yan Wentao took a deep breath and looked gravely at Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wenkai.

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "Let’s find Yiyi and Miss Dong first." And after asking Bi Shi about where she and Daohua got separated, he prepared to ride off.
