Chapter 719 Attending The Banquet (1/2)

Yun Shang didn't know why Luo Qingyan was so sure, but his confidence calmed her down. Since he said there is no need to worry too much, he must have a point.

Xiao Yuanshan looked at Luo Qingyan for a long time before he stood up and said goodbye to them.

After Luo Qingyan left, Luo Qingyan held Yun Shang in his arms, bent down and kissed her softly. Yun Shang turned to look at Luo Qingyan and finally asked what had been bothering her, ”Do you have a backup plan?”

Neither nodding nor shaking his head, Luo Qingyan beamed and replied, ”You'll know when the time comes.”

Yun Shang squinted at Luo Qingyan, the man who always wears a long face in front of others but smile a lot when he is with her. Staring at the faint smile on his face, she couldn't help saying, ”Uncle, has anyone ever said that you look like a fox when you smile?”

Only when Yun Shang was in a good mood would she call Luo Qingyan uncle like a spoiled child. Luo Qingyan squinted at Yun Shang with a bigger smile, ”You are the first one...”

Yun Shang thought he meant that she was the first one to say that he smiled like a fox, but Luo Qingyan continued, ”who've seen me smiling like this.”

Yun Shang was stunned for a while before she realized what Luo Qingyan was talking about. Her heart softened as if she had eaten countless osmanthus cakes.

There was hardly ten days to the Wanshou Festival. In the letters sent by Cangjue Qingsu, it was said that he had passed the border. He even wrote to Xia Huanyu about the local customs of every city he had passed by in detail. However, the letter from the secret guards to Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang reported that Cangjue Qingsu had stopped at the Mohuai, the city next to Lingxi, where about one hundred thousand soldiers of the State of Yelang was stationed.

Xia Huanyu must also have received the news.

Most of the soldiers of the State of Xia were stationed around the cities so that they could be gathered at any time. The provisions had been prepared early and taken the lead. The seven princes and Su Ruhai went out with only a few thousand guards. They might have left overnight and almost no one noticed them.

For three or four days in a row, the two of them did not go to the court. The explanation given by Xia Huanyu was that they were preparing for the expedition. It was not until the sixth day that some people gradually sensed that something was wrong.
