Life and death could be decided by a single thought!
Gu was about to speak, but Ning Cheng beat him to it. "Ning An, don't be impudent! Let her go, or you'll be punished according to the clan's laws! "
Ning An stopped abruptly, almost unable to believe her ears. However, Ning Cheng even mentioned the "clan's laws", so she had no choice but to stop.
The thorny vines wrapped around Ning Cheng's body and were still tightening. No one could see his body, only his blood flowing out from the gaps between the vines.
Ning An's heart was completely broken, and the scene from many years ago appeared in her mind again.
It was Ning Cheng's third expedition. When he was carried back to the military camp, he was covered in blood. At that time, Ning Cheng was only fifteen years old.
At this moment, Ning An suddenly wished that she was the older sister, the older sister who could protect her younger brother!
Blood was flowing, but Ning Cheng was indifferent. He said coldly, "Why aren't you letting her go?!"
The guard hurriedly let go. Mu Ling'er was safe and sound and regained her freedom. Gu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Gu, Han Yunxi is the princess of Western Qin and the master of my Di Clan. I want to know where she is more than you do, and I want to see her more than you do! I don't want to be your enemy. If it's possible, let's find her together! "Ning Cheng said seriously.
Gu didn't say a word, but Ning Cheng clearly felt the thorny vines on his body stop.
The night was silent, but it couldn't compare to Gu's silence.
He was silent for a very long time. Everything seemed to be still, and only Ning Cheng's blood was flowing.
In the silence, Ning Cheng's firm voice sounded, "Gu, love … is loyalty, it is submission. If you really like the princess, what's wrong with being with me? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the thorny vines on Ning Cheng's body withered and fell. Ning Cheng was covered in cuts and bruises, but his smile was especially brilliant. No one knew that this high and mighty man would have such a brilliant smile, enough to illuminate the darkness of the long night.
He walked in front of Gu and extended his bloody hand, but Gu ignored him.
"I just want to find her. Inform me if you have any news. Send the letter to the Medicine Ghost Valley!" Gu said and was about to leave.
Ning An stopped her. "Ning Jing, she … what's going on?"
"Long Fei Ye told me that Ning Jing confessed, but I don't know the details." Gu pulled Mu Ling'er and left without looking back.
"Master Ning, hurry up and treat your wounds. We'll talk about our business in detail tomorrow. There's no hurry." Bai Yanqing said.
Ning Cheng nodded and asked Ning An to send Bai Yanqing and his disciple back.
Late at night, Ning Cheng finished treating his wounds and went to see Han Yunxi. He told Han Yunxi everything.
Han Yunxi let out a big sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Quick, send someone to look for him. Go to the restaurant, he'll go drink! "
Ning Cheng smiled helplessly. "Esteemed wangfei, are you still worried about this subordinate's work? This subordinate has sent someone to follow him. Gu should know the truth by now and is on his way back. "
Han Yunxi was overjoyed. With Gu's arrival, Ning Cheng had turned a disaster into a blessing. They wanted to deal with Bai Yanqing. With Gu around, they would have an additional force!
Seeing Ning Cheng covered in cuts and bruises, Han Yunxi finally felt compassion for this man. This guy didn't have it easy either. At least his innocent feelings were all on Western Qin's side.
"That Uncle Bai must be Jun Yi Xie's master, a member of the Feng Clan." Ning Cheng said seriously.
Han Yunxi nodded and said in a low voice, "Since he's let down his guard and Gu is here, let's make our move tomorrow. How about it?"
Ning Cheng had worked so hard tonight just to make Bai Yanqing trust them. As long as Bai Yanqing trusted them, he'd lower his guard and give them a chance.
Ning Cheng was silent. Han Yunxi anxiously said, "We must do this as soon as possible! Ning Cheng, every day you hesitate, Jun Yi Xie's warhorses will get closer to you. When the time comes, what will you use to fight them? "
Actually, Ning Cheng had been putting on an act since he saw Bai Yanqing tonight. He and Han Yunxi had already discussed this beforehand. They would lure Bai Yuqiao and Uncle Bai here to lower his guard and find a chance to make their move.
Ning Cheng had enough men to trap Bai Yanqing and his disciple. No matter how strong Bai Yanqing's martial arts were, he wouldn't be able to defeat a thousand archers lying in ambush in the palace!
As for poisons, Han Yunxi had promised Ning Cheng that he could leave it to her.
After capturing Bai Yanqing, they would expose all of Bai Yanqing's schemes.
It was too easy to expose Bai Yanqing's schemes. All they had to do was force him to use his poison arts and reveal his poison storage space. That would be enough to convince the world.
The Poison Sect's descendant wasn't human. As a descendant of the Poison Sect, she was bound to be disloyal, wasn't she?
As long as they handed Bai Yanqing over to the Northern Li imperial clan, they would be able to restrain Jun Yi Xie!
Han Yunxi had already learned about Northern Li's political situation from Long Fei Ye's spies. The Northern Li crown prince had been injured in Wintercrow Village and died on the way back. The second prince had died in Wintercrow Village as well. How could the Northern Dynasties Emperors trust Jun Yi Xie?
Jun Yi Xie had so many warhorses. As long as the Northern Li imperial clan didn't provide them with soldiers, it didn't matter how many warhorses they had!
As long as they handed Bai Yanqing over to the Northern Dynasties Emperors, the Northern Dynasties Emperors would have enough capital to threaten Jun Yi Xie.
As long as Jun Yi Xie fought with the Northern Li imperial clan, he wouldn't have time to worry about the south. The Ning Clan troops would have nothing to worry about.
Everything was fine, but Ning Cheng was hesitating!
"Princess, 100,000 Iron Horse Cavalry is enough … to flatten the central and southern regions." Ning Cheng voiced his concerns.
Ning Cheng's current forces weren't a match for the Long Fei Ye. Therefore, Ning Cheng didn't want to expose Bai Yanqing so quickly. He only wanted to send Bai Yanqing back to the army to stall for time so that he could think of a better way to make use of Jun Yi Xie's Iron Horse Cavalry.
Han Yunxi sneered in her heart. How could Ning Cheng not be tempted by 100,000 Iron Horse Cavalry?
"Ning Cheng, I heard everything you said to him just now. That surnamed Bai will never leave Bai Yuqiao behind and return to the army alone. It's even more impossible for him to help you stop the war. If you insist, you'll only arouse his suspicion. Think about it carefully. But let me tell you, if you mess this up, you'll have to bear the consequences! "
Han Yunxi's voice was as cold as ice. Ning Cheng finally lowered his head. "This subordinate will listen to Princess's arrangements."
After discussing all the details for the next day, Ning Cheng went to check on all the ambushes before returning to the secret room.
Han Yunxi didn't sleep. She leaned against the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
"Your Highness, everything has been arranged. Tomorrow, we'll act according to the plan," Ning Cheng said seriously.
"Mm, is there anything else?" Han Yunxi asked.
Ning Cheng shook his head. Han Yunxi didn't say anything else, thinking that he would leave. Who knew that Ning Cheng wouldn't leave.
Han Yunxi cast an interrogating gaze, but Ning Cheng immediately avoided it. "Gu will be here soon. This subordinate will wait for a while."
Han Yunxi ignored him and continued to close her eyes to rest.
At first, Ning Cheng was drinking tea by himself. But gradually, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Han Yunxi quietly.
The candlelight flickered, and it was quiet. It was only at this moment that Ning Cheng's world was at peace. It was also only at this moment that Ning Cheng could forget his identity, forget his responsibility, forget his hatred, and forget his ideals.
Why didn't we meet earlier?
Why didn't we never meet again?
Why didn't we meet again in our next life?
Why did we have to meet again in this life at this moment? Why did he only know who she was after he fell in love with her?
Ning Cheng retracted his gaze and looked at the palm of his left hand. The golden needle was hidden in his palm. It could be faintly seen through his skin.
It was because of this needle that his left hand couldn't hold anything tightly. It was basically useless.
Hiding it here, he wouldn't lose it.
Not long after, Gu and Mu Ling 'er arrived.
Along the way, the guards had already explained everything to Gu and Mu Ling 'er.
He had been looking for his Poison Lass all over the world like a madman. But when she was standing in front of him, Gu just smiled foolishly.
Before he found her, he was conflicted and didn't know how to face her. But now that he saw her, he didn't feel conflicted anymore. Everything didn't seem so important anymore.
As long as she was safe and sound, she was his salvation.
"Poison Lass …" Gu wanted to say something but stopped. Such a flirtatious and flirtatious person, at this moment, was so silly that he looked adorable.
"We'll deal with Mute Granny another day." Han Yunxi said first. She didn't want Ning Cheng to know too much.
Gu saw the strange look in her eyes and immediately nodded. "Deal! Qi Brother, I'll help you deal with Bai first. You can do whatever you want! "
"Mute Granny is …" Ning Cheng asked curiously.
"Master Ning doesn't need to worry about my and Poison Lass's private matters." Gu said unhappily.
Ning Cheng pretended that he didn't ask. He opened a map and began to explain their ambush in detail. Gu listened attentively.
Han Yunxi saw Mu Ling 'er's disappointed face and handed her a cup of tea. "Younger Sister Ling' er, drink a cup of tea to wake yourself up."
Mu Ling 'er jerked her head up and looked at Han Yunxi in disbelief. What did this woman just call her?
"As your older cousin, I have the duty to protect your safety. Stay here tomorrow and don't run around, understand?" Han Yunxi said seriously.
Mu Ling 'er finally reacted. That's right, Lady Tianxin was Lady Lianxin, her aunt. Then Han Yunxi was her older cousin!
"You're my older cousin … older sister? You … "
Mu Ling 'er blinked her big watery eyes and muttered to herself for a long time.
She only came back to her senses when Han Yunxi handed her a cup of tea. She snorted disdainfully. "Hmph, don't even think about controlling me! I'm not your biological older cousin. "
"I'm definitely controlling you!" Han Yunxi didn't hold back.
Mu Ling 'er sat to the side in a fit of pique and drank her tea.
She and Han Yunxi always clashed head-on like this. They rarely huddled together like sisters and talked about everything. However, she knew that Han Yunxi treated her even better than a biological sister.
However, it wasn't because of their sisterly relationship that she didn't resent Han Yunxi for taking away her Qi Brother.
She knew better than anyone that even without Han Yunxi, Qi Brother wouldn't have fallen in love with her …
The next morning, the entire palace was still immersed in sleep.
Bai Yanqing woke up in a daze and immediately noticed that there were movements around him. He hurriedly got off the bed and hesitated for a moment before he directly broke through the roof tiles and rushed up to the sky. Bai Yuqiao, who was in the side room, was awakened and followed him out.
However, in an instant, from all directions, from the lowest to the highest, there were a total of ten circles of archers. Tens of thousands of arrows were fired at the same time, forcing the master and disciple to fall to the ground!
"Ning Cheng, how dare you trick the Old Man!" Bai Yanqing was furious. If he still didn't understand the truth, he should end his own life.
Ning Cheng didn't show up. Instead, he responded to Bai Yanqing with another round of fierce arrows!
"Little Yu 'er!" Bai Yanqing said coldly. Bai Yuqiao immediately held his sword and blocked the arrows for his master.
Bai Yanqing closed his eyes and looked up to feel the direction of the wind.
In the dark, Ning Cheng whispered, "Wind Riding Technique … He's going to poison us!"
"Don't be afraid of him!" Han Yunxi snorted.
