Balliard and Longshe, dressed as refugees, walked towards Kaiyang City on foot. By the way, they also got into the group of a refugee. Because they were walking, they had to show the same pace as refugees. When they arrived,

On the third day, they arrived at Kaiyang City.

In the past three days, they met several people who came to ask them but they did not see the imperial envoy. The imperial envoy was described as "extravagant".

BMW, Sword, and Armor are both young people. This characteristic is easy to distinguish. The most important thing is a kind of temperament. Balliard’s rampant temperament is easy to be seen by civilians. Of course, this kind of temperament can be easily seen when encountering a strong person.

The one will wither.

During this period, Valliard was also beaten with a stick by a soldier with a spear because he walked too slowly.

After not finding the imperial envoy for two or three days, these people have lost their patience and hope that these refugees will arrive in Kaiyang City as soon as possible so that they can call it a day.

"Here! This is your porridge."

"Thank you, miss. Thank you, miss."

"Here! This is you..."

Balliard and Longshe were held hostage by the refugees, and the refugees were under the command of officials from Kaiyang City. So, the two of them walked up to Jiang Yan who was giving porridge to the refugees.

"Brother Xia Ke——"

"Shh! Don't push yourself, I will go find you at night."

Balliard took the porridge from Jiang Yan's hand, said "Thank you, Miss", walked to a corner and squatted. There was only half a bowl of porridge, which could make people starve to death, but it would not starve refugees.

Eat enough.

In order to prevent the refugees from revolting, although it has no practical significance and can be quickly suppressed by the strong men in the city, it will be a big blow to the reputation of Marquis Kaiyang.

"That girl is doing well. She even comes to give porridge to the refugees. It seems that her grandfather takes good care of her."

Balliard and Longshe communicated in a low voice. The better Jiang Yan's current condition, the higher the importance of Jiang Yan in the eyes of Kaiyang Hou.

Jiang Miao has news about the jade sword, and Kaiyang Hou has been seriously injured. The traitor intends to use the jade sword to extend his life and control the government. Will Kaiyang Hou also have the opportunity to seize the jade sword and return power to the emperor with a group of royalists?

?

"Not surprisingly, Jiang Yan's mother is the nine-tailed fox who came to Kaiyang City to buy brocade. The purchase of brocade may be true, but no one knows how many other purposes it has.

.Perhaps...Marquis Kaiyang intends to lure the wolf into the house."

Longshe paid attention to Jiang Yan under the cover of the crowd. He originally thought that Jiang Yan was an abandoned son, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

In half a year, Jiang Yan went from a little girl who came in and out of the Hou family without knowing whether she would be recognized by the Marquis of Kaiyang, to a young lady of the Hou family who was able to command the officials of Kaiyang City to open warehouses and put out grain to give porridge to the refugees.

What does this mean? Perhaps the power in the hands of those two women has fallen into Jiang Yan's hands. If they abandon their son, would Kaiyang Hou dare to act like this?

No matter how smart Jiang Yan is, it is an indisputable fact that she is only seven or eight years old. It is absolutely impossible to hand over power to such a child if she does not know that Jiang Yan is the daughter of the nine-tailed fox.

But now that we know that Jiang Yan is the daughter of the Nine-tailed Fox, and all the Nine-tailed Fox clan is female, in other words, if we really want to distinguish nationality and race, Jiang Yan is definitely not a member of the Deno Empire, but a demon.

The princes of the human empire delegated power to a demon clan. What was the intention behind this?

"What brings the wolf into the house?"

Balliard didn't understand what Longshe meant. Taking care of his granddaughter, why did he lead the wolf into the house?

"nothing."

This was the first time that Longshe did not answer Balliard's question, but this refusal made Balliard feel a little more relieved about Longshe.

Balliard is not afraid of those who hide something from him. Concealment represents secrets. Reluctance to reveal secrets hides fear. Longshe has things to fear and worry about.

But if Longshe keeps answering his questions perfectly, Balliard will become more and more worried about Longshe's intentions.

Night came soon, and Balliard quickly left the streets filled with the dirty smell of refugees and headed towards Kaiyang Houfu. He had indeed never been to Kaiyang Houfu, but during the day he had been following Jiang with his shadow vision.

Yan, naturally also saw where Jiang Yan returned in the end.

"Little girl, you've been doing well lately - I'll go! Don't slap her in the face!"

Balliard escaped invisibly into Jiang Yan's boudoir, but unexpectedly, as soon as he appeared and spoke his words, a sharp sword flew from behind. The posture was definitely meant to take Balliard's life.

"Uncle Zhao! I'm fine. Brother Xiake is my friend."

Seeing that the sword-wielding man wanted to attack Valliard again, Jiang Yan reacted.

"I have never seen anyone sneak into someone else's house as their friend."

The man surnamed Zhao carried his sword and left, but Balliard still felt a malicious gaze on him.

"The one who protects you? He's pretty strong."

Balliard had obviously ignored the fact that the man surnamed Zhao had subdued him with one move, and evaluated the man surnamed Zhao's strength from a very high level.

"What are you here for, Brother Xia Ke? Haven't you already gone to the Imperial Capital?"

Jiang Yan was sitting on her bed instead of on a chair, and she didn't seem to regard Balliard as an outsider.

"I was accepted as a disciple by a lunatic in the imperial capital. The lunatic took me to see the emperor. The emperor asked me to find the jade sword. I heard that your father was related to the jade sword, so he came back."

Balliard simply explained his situation - he came to seek help.

"...There is no jade sword here. Why come to me if you want a jade sword?"

The little girl was unhappy. It was Valliard who left without saying goodbye that day, which made the little girl very dissatisfied. Now that they met again, he didn't come to see her. It was obvious that he didn't want to deal with the trouble that she should have gotten rid of when he arrived.

.

"I don't care much about the jade sword. It's just that the traitor is determined to get the jade sword. Your grandfather... the traitor may be harmful to you, so come and have a look."

Seeing that the little girl was a little dissatisfied, Balliard had no choice but to say something nice. Girls already admire heroes, and Jiang Yan was just a little girl. It was normal for her to be somewhat dependent on Balliard, the knight who saved her.

In addition, Balliard took good care of Jiang Yan along the way and ran away without saying a word. It would be strange not to make the little girl angry and sad.

"Are you going to stay?"

"That's right. Because someone is chasing me, I have to hide my name. If I can find a position as a retainer in the Marquis Mansion, it would be very good."

This is the purpose of Balliard. As the saying goes, one can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree. He is Jiang Yan's savior. Marquis Kaiyang will not attack him.

Hiding in Kaiyanghou's Mansion, waiting for Kaiyanghou's actions, if Jiang Miao does not die, he will naturally take Jiang Miao to look for the jade sword. Although Kaiyanghou cannot go there in person, the news should not be left behind.
