"Nonsense!" Ye Li frowned. Since the other party dared to strut around the city with Princess Anxi, they would not be unprepared. It was too risky for Pu Ah to rush out like this. After some thought, Ye Li said, "Zhuo Jing, take some people and go …"
"No, Li, we'll go ourselves." Mo Xiuyao stood up and took Ye Li's hand as he spoke softly.
Ye Li frowned slightly. The Prince Ding Mansion was currently filled with guests. They needed Prince Ding to oversee things. Moreover, this matter was not serious enough to require Prince Ding and the Princess to personally attend to it. Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Let's go. Pu Ah and Princess Anxi are guests. Let's go take a look."
Ye Li sighed helplessly and said, "If you say so, then let's go, third brother." Xu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Li 'er. Leave the Prince Ding Mansion to us."
On an inconspicuous street in Glass City. Because it was a special day, Glass City was especially lively. However, some of the more remote streets were even more deserted than usual. By the time Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao arrived, the Nanzhao guards that Pu Ah had brought had already started fighting with Mo Jingli's men. Although Mo Jingli did not have many men, each one of them was skilled. The worst thing was that Pu Ah's guards had forced them into a restaurant on the street. They had smashed all the wine in the restaurant. If anyone dared to step into the restaurant, they would immediately set it on fire and perish together with Princess Anxi.
Seeing Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao arrive, Pu Ah quickly went up to them and anxiously explained the situation, "Prince Ding, Princess Ding!" Ye Li didn't look too good either. The current situation wasn't that they couldn't beat these people, but that they were holding back. These people dared to do this because they were prepared to die. As long as they dared to act rashly, these people would ignite their fire seeds, and the entire restaurant, which was almost soaked in strong liquor, would be turned into a sea of fire. If Princess Anxi was hurt, it would be self-defeating and the losses would outweigh the gains.
Pu Ah also knew that he was being impulsive, but his wife and son had been missing for so many days. This man, who was not good at patience, had already reached his limit. When he heard about Princess Anxi, how could he hold himself back?
Looking at Pu 'a's guilty and vexed expression, Ye Li sighed softly in her heart. She calmly comforted him, "Don't worry, Wang Fu. The Queen of Nanzhao is blessed. Nothing will happen."
Pu Ah nodded and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Princess. Please … please save Anxi."
"Don't worry, Prince Ding Mansion. This is Glass City. The Prince Ding Mansion will do its best to protect the Queen." Ye Li gave Qin Feng a look. Qin Feng nodded and stepped forward, saying in a clear voice, "Everyone inside, listen up. Prince Ding and Princess Ding have personally arrived. Release the Queen of Nanzhao and we can spare your lives."
There was a moment of silence inside. A figure appeared at the window on the second floor. He looked down at the people below and said, "We can release Princess Anxi first. Let Prince Ding and Princess Ding come in personally. "
"Impudent!" Qin Feng said sternly, "How dare you! Do you really think that the Prince Ding Mansion can't do anything to you?" These people obviously knew that they were going to die at this point. Perhaps it was because they had nothing left to lose, but they were bolder. They smiled and said, "We naturally have a way. As long as Prince Ding gives the order to shoot, we can all be killed without a single soldier. No matter … having a Queen die with them, it's still worth it. "
Mo Xiuyao was about to speak when Ye Li raised her hand to stop him. She stepped forward and said with a smile, "If I really agree to come up with Prince Ding, would you dare?"
The other party was silent. Prince Ding's martial arts were unparalleled. This was something everyone in the world knew. If they really allowed Prince Ding to go up, they really couldn't be sure what would happen. After a moment, the man sneered and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Princess. Then it's fine as long as Princess comes up alone." Although it was rumored that Princess Ding's martial arts were not bad, it was far from the level where ordinary martial arts masters would be afraid of her. They were all first and second rate experts. It was naturally not a problem for them to deal with Ding Wang Fei.
"Okay." Ye Li smiled.
"Li." Mo Xiuyao frowned in displeasure. Even though he knew that Ye Li had a plan, Mo Xiuyao was not happy to see Ye Li take any risks in front of him. Not even for the Queen of Nan Zhao. Even if the Queen and Prince of Nan Zhao died in Li City, so what? Even if Nan Zhao and the Prince Ding Mansion became enemies, they could not do anything to them.
Ye Li gently gripped his hand and said with a comforting smile, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Mo Xiuyao pursed his lips and looked at her in displeasure. Ye Li said with a slight smile, "I promise to come out in fifteen minutes."
After a moment, Mo Xiuyao let go and watched as Ye Li walked into the restaurant.
Entering the restaurant, the thick smell of wine hit them in the face. The hall was littered with broken wine jars, and the floor was soaked with wine. Ye Li strolled up to the second floor and saw a few men staring at her covetously. Princess Anxi sat at a table and looked at her without moving. Her eyes were filled with anxiety. "Princess Ding … don't come over. Mo Jingli took Shuo 'er away. Please save Shuo' er. "
Ye Li smiled and said, "Princess Anxi, don't worry. Shuo 'er will be fine. "
Thinking of her son that Mo Jingli had taken away, Princess Anxi's eyes reddened. "Princess Ding, don't worry about me. As long as … as long as Shuo 'er is fine … "
Ye Li sighed: "This time, the Queen and the Prince had suffered an undeserved calamity because of Ding Wang fu. How can this Consort not care." Sitting at a table not far from Princess Anxi, Ye Li calmly looked at the men in front of her. They looked familiar, but she couldn't remember their names. They should be Mo Xiuyao's guards. She might have met them before.
"Gentlemen, Mo Jingli's methods are becoming more and more shameless. Using a woman and an innocent baby as hostages."
The man in the lead took a step forward and sized Ye Li up. "At this point, who cares if you're presentable or not? Princess Ding dared to risk her life for someone unrelated to her. We admire her. Unfortunately, we are on opposing sides. Please forgive us. "
Ye Li looked at him with interest and said with a smile, "Your words are quite interesting. This consort is surprised that someone like you is still loyal to Mo Jingli. "
The man smiled bitterly and said, "A loyal subject will not serve two masters. Moreover, His Majesty has shown me kindness."
"Kindness, you are a loyal person." Ye Li sighed.
The man looked at Ye Li and said, "This consort is surprised that you would risk your life alone as the consort. If this consort lit a fire now … it would be more worth it to burn Princess Ding to death than to burn the Queen of Nanzhao. And now … I'm afraid that the consort will be buried with the Queen of Nanzhao? "
Ye Li looked at him leisurely and said with a smile, "First, are you sure that I won't be able to escape after you light the fire? Second … you took the Queen of Nanzhao to wander around the city for so long. After being surrounded, you put on such a show. Do you really want to kill Princess Anxi first? You know that you will die for sure. If you really want to kill Princess Anxi, why don't you just slit her throat? Then you might be able to fight your way out. Now … I don't know about Princess Anxi, but you all look like you have no way out. Why do you have to do this? "
The man's eyes darkened. "What do you mean?"
Ye Li covered her smile and said, "Don't you understand? I'm advising you to act quickly. "
The man looked at the woman in white in front of him suspiciously. She was willing to risk her life for Princess Anxi, but advised him to act quickly. This was definitely not what they had expected. However, he had been with Mo Xiuyao for a long time and had naturally heard about Princess Ding's cunning. Although he couldn't see through Ye Li's thoughts, he watched Ye Li's every move cautiously.
Ye Li said with a smile, "You don't have to be so nervous. I know that you don't want to kill Princess Anxi at all. You even … want her to live as long as possible. "
The man fell silent. Ye Li said with a smile, "You want to use Princess Anxi to stall me and Prince. Does Mo Jingli have other plans in secret? Is he trying to lure us away? But … does Mo Jingli really think that Prince and I will abandon everything and stay here for Princess Anxi? "
The man sneered. "Princess, you're here now. Isn't that enough?"
Ye Li helplessly sighed and said, "This Imperial Concubine came in to tell you that after a quarter of an hour, the secret guards of Prince Ding's residence will begin their assault."
The man's face darkened. He said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill the Queen of Nanzhao?"
Ye Li said, "It's important whether she lives or dies. Isn't there an explanation? There are so many guests in the Prince Ding Mansion today. How can Prince and I stay here for a long time? " Seeing the man staring at her with a serious expression, Ye Li sat down leisurely. She looked at the furnishings in the restaurant and said casually, "Does Mo Jingli want to cooperate with Mo Jingyu? What do you think Mo Jingyu can do? "
Hearing this, the man's expression finally changed. Ye Li acted as if she didn't see it. She continued, "There are also some old officials and nobles of Da Chu State in Glass City who are secretly helping. Even so … what can they do? Every soldier in Glass City is in the hands of Prince Ding Mansion. Can they … turn Glass City upside down? "
"Princess Ding is indeed very powerful." The man stared at Ye Li and said in a low voice, "Princess Ding didn't come here to gossip with us. What does Princess want?"
Ye Li said with a smile, "Release Princess Anxi and I will consider letting bygones be bygones."
The man's lips curled into a mocking smile. Obviously, he didn't believe Ye Li's words at all. Even if he did, he wouldn't consider it.
Ye Li didn't care. She pondered for a moment and said, "The first option is to wait with you for an hour. Release Princess Anxi and I will let you go. The second option … after a quarter of an hour, we will attack the Prince Ding Mansion. "
"You're afraid Princess Anxi will die?"
Ye Li looked at Princess Anxi and said apologetically, "Princess Anxi, don't worry. I swear on the reputation of the Prince Ding Mansion that I will save the little prince." Princess Anxi obviously understood Ye Li's meaning. She said with a smile, "Princess, you can go now. Let the Prince Ding Mansion's people attack immediately. Waiting a quarter of an hour or half an hour won't make any difference."
Ye Li nodded firmly at Princess Anxi and said, "Okay."
