Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 237 - 54: Setting Out for the Xihe Dynasty—Better Let Him Drop Dead Sooner

Chapter 237: Chapter 54: Setting Out for the Xihe Dynasty—Better Let Him Drop Dead Sooner

"Want to lounge around in your room for a few more days again?"

Facing Qu Sisi’s silent gaze, Ye Liuyun raised his eyebrows and said with a smirk.

"I’m training in martial arts now, I’m not afraid of you!"

Even though she felt a little timid inside.

On the surface though, Qu Sisi didn’t want to lose face, so she looked at Ye Liuyun with indignation and retorted.

The sight of this made Ye Liuyun unable to hold back a laugh.

"Alright, when the time comes you all just wait for me at home—it’s just the Xihe Dynasty, they can’t keep me!"

"Mm!"

Xing’Er softly nodded and leaned into Ye Liuyun’s arms without a word.

She knew in her heart that there were some things she simply couldn’t stop even if she wanted to, so Xing’Er could only silently pray at home, wishing Ye Liuyun would return safely.

In comparison—

After a moment of silence, Qu Sisi lowered her voice and spoke.

"You said before, that you’d make the rest of my life happy."

So before that happens, you’d better not die just like that.

"Don’t worry!"

,,,

Half a month passed in a flash.

A princess getting married was no small matter—almost the whole city knew about it.

Early in the morning, a huge crowd of curious townsfolk gathered, wanting to see what the spectacle of a royal wedding looked like. Honestly, eavesdropping on juicy events really is human nature.

No matter the era,

There’s never any shortage of people who like to gossip.

"My lord!"

Ye Liuyun, dressed in his Embroidered Uniform Guard Governor’s robes, walked up to Si Nan and the others.

At this moment, behind Si Nan, Shi Sheng, and Jiang Jing, there were already over a hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards lined up. This princess’s wedding needed a proper escort; too small a formation and people would get the wrong idea.

After all, this concerned the honor of the Dynasty.

"Let’s move out!"

Ye Liuyun waved his arm grandly, and led the group majestically toward the palace gates.

There, an ornately decorated carriage was parked.

Presumably, the princess was inside. Too bad the surroundings were all shrouded in gauzy silk, so apart from a vague shadow inside the carriage,

Nothing else could be seen.

Up to this point, Ye Liuyun only knew that the princess being married off was titled Princess Jingyue, real name Yan Huilan.

As for what she actually looked like, or what sort of personality she had—he hadn’t the faintest clue.

"Your Majesty!"

When Ye Liuyun arrived, the emperor Yan Shuzhu was already there too.

"No need for formalities!"

Yan Shuzhu waved him off first.

Then, in a low voice, he said to Ye Liuyun,

"I’ve already exchanged letters with Xihe Dynasty’s people. Once you reach their border, they’ll send someone to receive you."

The Xihe Dynasty didn’t actually object to this marital alliance with the Great Qian Dynasty.

To be fair, the Xihe court still wasn’t stable yet—gaining an ally at a time like this, why wouldn’t they want that?

The emperor of Xihe even promised that if Princess Jingyue turned out suitable, it was possible he’d make her Empress. Anyway, the new Xihe emperor hadn’t installed an empress yet.

Of course, when people say things like that, it’s just words—we listen, smile, and don’t take it too seriously.

"Your main priority is your own safety. If anything unexpected happens, make sure you retreat immediately!"

Yan Shuzhu really was worried Ye Liuyun might get into trouble.

No matter the reason, that worry was written all over his face—it wasn’t fake.

"Understood!"

Ye Liuyun responded with a smile and a nod.

Just then—

Ye Liuyun suddenly felt a scorching gaze on him.

"?"

After stepping into the Grandmaster realm, Ye Liuyun’s senses were razor-sharp.

He turned his head, immediately catching the source from within the gauzy carriage. He could tell that intense look wasn’t fixed on him, but rather on Yan Shuzhu standing next to him.

"What is it?"

Yan Shuzhu, of course, hadn’t noticed anything.

Seeing Ye Liuyun glance over, Yan Shuzhu even asked curiously.

"Nothing!"

Ye Liuyun smiled and shook his head.

Looks like it’s not just the princes who aren’t friendly—even among the princesses, things aren’t exactly harmonious.

Princess Jingyue, Yan Huilan inside that carriage, seems to have some opinions about Yan Shuzhu!

Soon, Minister of Rites Ji You arrived as well. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Unlike how Ye Liuyun had imagined—riding in a carriage—Ji You was carried over on a sedan chair.

As he got out, passing by Ye Liuyun, he shot him a glare.

Then, making a proper bow, Ji You turned to Yan Shuzhu.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Mm."

Yan Shuzhu only nodded slightly, showing no intention of saying much to Ji You.

After all, now he was a dead man—what more needed to be said?

Apart from the Embroidered Uniform Guards, there were also a thousand soldiers in tow. This impressive entourage was led by the escort commander, Dong Xian, a martial artist at Postnatal level.

Seeing Ye Liuyun arrive—

Dong Xian gave a cupped-fist salute, and then turned to Ye Liuyun.

"Subordinate Dong Xian at your service, Lord Ye. If anything comes up on this journey, just let me know. Lord Lei has already briefed me."

This Lord Lei Dong Xian mentioned was none other than Northern Governor Lei Zheng.

Who knew Lei Zheng was this considerate! Ye Liuyun hadn’t said a word, but Lei Zheng had gone ahead and made sure everything was arranged.

The captain was also from a military background—he hadn’t fought on the battlefield with Yue Xiu, but was considered among Yue Xiu’s circle.

"Much appreciated!"

No one punches a smiling face.

When others are polite, there’s no reason to go out of your way to create trouble.

"Since that’s settled, from now on, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will clear the way in front, and Commander Dong’s men will guard the princess’s carriage from behind."
