    Xue Yan knew that the people he brought from Yan County were loyal to him and would never do anything other than orders.

    But at the same time, he also knew that the Yan County guarded by King Yan had always been an iron barrel when King Yan was there, and had never been interfered by any other force.

    In Yan County, no one would disobey the orders of King Yan.

    After hearing the conclusion of the genius doctor, Xue Yan sat at the table and pondered for a long time.

    Yan County has been lost, and the traces of that year are naturally difficult to find. However, many of Yan County's original subordinates followed him, and it would not be difficult for him to conduct a thorough investigation.

    However, how could the poison that disappeared in Yan County a few years ago reappear in the palace today?

    Xue Yan vaguely had some answers in his heart.

    Where did the poison come from, the little eunuch beside Xue Yunhong had already explained it all.

    It was left to him by the deceased Yi Jieyu, and Yi Jieyu's medicine was given to her by the Taoist priest who entered the palace and became a star officer back then to save her life.

    And the origin of the Taoist priest, even the Xu family at that time, did not know.

    All they knew was that the Taoist priest and his master had expected things like gods, but they only said that they had lived in seclusion in the Taoist temple in the mountains for many years, and had just entered the world recently. There are countless remote mountains in Dayong, and it is naturally impossible to find out the monks and Taoists who live in seclusion.

    Therefore, the Xu family did not investigate it in depth, let alone investigate it in detail.

    Xue Yan now vaguely knows where the Taoist priest came from.

    He pondered for a moment, then said, "Go, call Jinan."

    Jinbao on the side responded quickly and went out.

    Jinan was the leader of Yanyun's iron cavalry. When he was forty years old, he followed King Yan when he was in his teens.

    In the battle of Yanyun that year, all of King Yan's henchmen died in the battle, but only Ji Nan survived.

    It was he who rescued Xue Yan from the Turkic siege and sent him all the way back to the border of Dayong.

    Xue Yan sat silently at the table.

    The table top of the imperial study room is carved from extremely precious ancient sunken wood, and the four corners are gold chiseled. On the Bogu shelf he was facing was any piece of antique jade that was priceless. In the sapphire chisel gold incense burner, ambergris rose up.

    Although there is not much gold, stone and pearls to be seen everywhere, it is solemn everywhere, revealing the solemnity of the supreme power of a dynasty.

    Few people turn down this position.

    Back then, when Emperor Qingping and the princes scrambled for the heir, it was for it, but now Xue Yunhong took the risk and poisoned Emperor Qingping, and what he asked for has not changed.

    Xue Yan raised his eyes and looked around, but only felt tired and irritable.

    Not long after, Jinan came.

    Now that Xue Yan is also considered to be in the imperial city, Yanyun's iron horse can naturally be placed on the table, and there is no need to keep it in the dark like the previous two years. Xue Yan was determined to recover Yan County himself, so he still left the Yanyun Iron Cavalry in Chang'an City, ready to go.

    Jinan dressed in black armor, walked into the imperial study, and knelt down in front of Xue Yan.

    "My subordinates see King Guangling." He saluted.

    Xue Yan hummed and asked him to get up.

    "You have something to do," he said.

    Jinan stood up and waited for Xue Yan's order.

    Xue Yan said: "This poison in the emperor is colorless and tasteless, and it is extremely difficult to find. It can make people's body rigid, and they can't speak, and they are like a waste."

    Xue Yan paused and looked at Jinan calmly.

    Jinan was still standing there, waiting for his next words.

    Xue Yan looked at him and said slowly, "The doctor said that the poison came from Yan County. I want you to investigate, where did the poison come from."

    He fixedly looked at Ji Nan.

    Then saw Jinan kneeling down.

    "My lord, before His Royal Highness King Yan died, he instructed his subordinates," he said. "There is a letter in the hands of the subordinate, which was left to you by His Royal Highness King Yan. He said that whenever you ask to investigate matters related to Yan County in the future, this letter will be handed over to you."

    Ji Nan bowed his head and said, "His Royal Highness Yan said, at that time, the questions you want to investigate thoroughly will have answers."

    Xue Yan definitely looked at him.

    Ji Nan started to take the letter from his arms.

    Xue Yan opened his mouth.

    "Don't give it to me," he said.

    Jinan's movements did not stop.

    A letter tightly sealed with wax was taken out of his arms.

    "Take it back." Xue Yan looked at her and continued.

    Jinan stepped forward and held the letter in front of Xue Yan with both hands.

    Xue Yan knew that although Jinan obeyed his own words and was his subordinate, from Jinan to Yanyun Iron Cavalry, they were all inheritances left by King Yan to him.

    They will change from belonging to King Yan to belonging to Xue Yan, but forever, King Yan will be their master.

    This is King Yan's will, and Ji Nan will not refuse. Just as he never told Xue Yan about the existence of this letter, Ji Nan will now firmly hand this letter into his hands.

    Xue Yan knew what was written in the letter.

    He grew up in Yan County since he was a child, and he would never be suspicious of this place or the people there.

    He wants to investigate, it must be because of some fact that it was put in front of him.

    Since King Yan had prepared an explanation in advance, he must have done this.

    Xue Yan has always known.

    He knew that King Yan was the strongest opponent of Emperor Qingping when he seized the heir, and if Emperor Qingping had not planned half a step more, he would not have been the one who failed. Even so, King Yan also gave himself enough retreat, so that Emperor Qing Ping could not execute him like other brothers. After he ascended the throne, he reluctantly named him a king and sent him to guard the bitter and cold Yan County.

    He also knew that there were rumors in Chang'an and Yan County at that time that when Concubine Rong was being paid tribute to Beijing, she passed by Yan County, and at a glance, King Yan's heart was completely hooked. It's just that Lang Youqing and concubine have no intention, and Concubine Rong knew that she was carrying the mission of the two countries, so she rejected King Yan very simply.

    He also knew that although King Yan raised him since he was a child, he was so strict that he was not like ordinary people. Everyone only said that King Yan was strict and careless, and he had no wives and concubines, so he was not good at raising juniors. But it is obvious to all that even if he is not good at it, he will not throw a child in the military camp for as long as he can remember and beat him, regardless of life and death, as if he is training a powerful tool.

    Xue Yan has always known this.

    But he also knew that from childhood to adulthood, he was a fiendish star, and no matter how cold Yandi was, it was also his only home and place of return.

    Plants have roots, and so do people. Even if the roots are rooted in the bitter cold, it is his final destination, his home.

    This is also the reason why Xue Yan has always been obsessed with restoring Yan County to Dayong.

    Xue Yan held the letter in his hand and stared at it stubbornly.

    The strength of his men tightened uncontrollably, clenching the wax seal to pieces.

    After a moment, he spoke.

    "Get out." He said.

    ——

    Madam Jun is naturally angry.

    She now acquiesced in the relationship between Xue Yan and Jun Huailang, which is not false; Xue Yan came to look for him every day, and she looked at it and closed one eye, and it was not false.

    She also knows that when young people are like glue, they hug each other and grind their ears. Isn't it normal?

    But what she couldn't accept was that her son was the one who was bullied in his arms.

    She had never thought of this, but suddenly she saw that Xue Yan was actually bullying her son, right in front of her eyes.

    It just doesn't make sense!

    Mrs. Jun drove away the guests mercilessly, and reprimanded her son Haosheng.

    Jun Huailang gladly accepted his mother's rebuke, and when his mother was almost relieved, he poured her a cup of tea with a smile.

    "It's not a solution if you don't let Xue Yan enter the door," he said. "Where can the wall of this courtyard stop him?"

    Mrs. Jun gritted her teeth: "He still dares to come in?"

    Jun Huailang nodded seriously.

    Madam Jun sighed in anger.

    "Then let the boy take a stick and beat him down!" she said.

    Jun Huailang smiled.

    He knew Xue Yan quite well, and he knew that it would not be long before he couldn't help but turn in.

    Mrs. Jun's anger at Xue Yan has not subsided, she deliberately acted against him and stayed with Jun Huailang.

    Xue Yan didn't come.

    "Xu was stumped by something." Jun Huailang said.

    Mrs. Jun glanced at him: "You know very well."

    Even so, she still didn't leave.

    The two of them sat together for a long time, until dusk fell, and it was time for a servant to urge dinner.

    Mrs. Jun said, "I'm looking at the wall of the mansion, it's quite able to stop him," she said.

    Jun Huailang frowned and said nothing.

    Seeing that he didn't answer, Mrs. Jun turned her head to the side, and saw that there was no smile on his face, and his eyebrows were knitted.

    "What?" Madam Jun thought that Jun Huailang was not happy because Xue Yan didn't come.

    Jun Huailang shook his head.

    "...I think something is wrong," he said.

    Mrs. Jun was puzzled: "There must be something to do, what's wrong?"

    Jun Huailang shook his head and stood up.

    "Mother, let's eat first," he said."I gonna go see."

    He always felt that something bad had happened.

    For him, this is nothing but an unfounded guess.But Jun Huailang felt a little nervous for no reason, and was always worried.

    He thought to himself, even if nothing happened, he wanted to go and see.

    Madam Jun stood up hurriedly.

    "Are you going to see?" she asked."Where to look?"

    Jun Huailang paused.

    "Go to the palace," he said.
