The guard didn't dare to delay and hurriedly opened the door for Tang Li.
But even after the lock was unlocked, the door still wouldn't open. Tang Li then realised that Ning Jing had locked the door from the inside.
"Ask her to open the door!" He said coldly, not wanting to do it himself.
With the guard's shout, no matter how deep Ning Jing slept, she woke up. But she didn't think much of it as she turned over and buried her head in the pillow and continued to sleep.
"Master, nothing will happen right?" The guard asked worriedly.
Tang Li knew Ning Jing too well. If she didn't want to open the door, even if the guard shouted until his voice was hoarse, she wouldn't bother about it.
He didn't say anything else and broke through the window from the side!
He had already jumped into the room but Ning Jing was still nestled in the silk blanket, indifferent. She knew that other than him, no one else would dare to barge in.
Tang Li rushed to the front of the bed like a mad man but when he saw Ning Jing's peaceful sleeping face, he suddenly calmed down. Even though he knew that she was pretending to sleep, he didn't expose her.
Why did he rush over? He didn't know either. He just stood there like that and half an hour later, Ning Jing finally turned around to look at him, "What's the matter?"
"I'll give you one last chance, hand over your seal, otherwise, I'll send you to the dark prison right now." Tang Li said Coldly.
"Do as you wish." Ning Jing still said the same words.
Tang Li suddenly grabbed her hand and dragged her outside. Ning Jing allowed him to drag her to the door. It wasn't until the guard at the door suddenly turned around that Tang Li realised that Ning Jing's clothes were disheveled and her body was exposed.
His originally gloomy face suddenly became even more frightening. He kicked the guard far away and went back to grab a set of clothes and threw it to Ning Jing, "Shameless!"
"Thanks to you!" Ning Jing retorted bluntly.
"Wear it!" He said angrily.
"I'm happy to! What does that have to do with you? "Ning Jing asked.
In the past few months, if it weren't for Tang Li giving in to her, who knew how many times they would have quarreled every day!
"Don't forget that this Sect Master is the one who officially married you! Don't embarrass me before you die! "
As Tang Li spoke, he tried to pull Ning Jing again. However, Ning Jing stopped him and said, "Let go. I promise you!"
She had been waiting for an opportunity, and now that he had come knocking on her door, she naturally had to seize it. The word "whatever" just now was just for show.
"At least you know what's good for you!" Tang Li immediately reached out to ask for the seal.
Ning Jing sized him up and could not help but chuckle. "Tang Li, I thought you were very smart since you were so good at acting. I didn't expect you to be so stupid!"
"Cut the crap. Hand it over!" Tang Li said coldly.
"Why would I carry such an important thing with me?" Ning Jing asked.
"After you married into the Tang Sect, you were still in charge of everything in the arms trade. If you don't carry the seal with you, how do you communicate with the arms trade?" Tang Li asked.
The people in the arms trade only followed the rules. Without the seal, no matter how many letters Ning Jing wrote, the people in the arms trade would not accept them.
"My letters are all transferred to someone. After he stamps them for me, he sends them to the arms trade! It's up to you to believe it or not, "Ning Jing explained.
"Where is he?" Tang Li asked.
"In Northern Li," Ning Jing answered.
"Tell him to send the seal over immediately!" Tang Li ordered.
"You are really stupid!" Ning Jing scolded again. "The reason why I left the seal in his hands was because my brother was suspicious of the relationship between the Tang Sect and Long Fei Ye. If you do this now, you'll only arouse my brother's suspicions. "
"Where is he in Northern Li? Who is he? What does he look like?" Tang Li wanted to send someone to search.
"His name is Ouyang Jing, one of my brother's trusted aides. He's in charge of Cloud Realm Trade Consortium's business in Northern Li." Ning Jing feigned helplessness. "Cloud Realm Trade Consortium doesn't have any business in Northern Li. He's a businessman on the surface, but he's actually my Di Clan's spy in Northern Li. He's the adopted son of the head of Northern Li's main trade consortium. "
"Pack up. I'll take you down the mountain tomorrow so we can search together. If you dare to play any tricks, you'll have to bear the consequences! "Tang Li got straight to the point.
Ning Jing played with her pretty fingernails as she said Coldly, "I won't go with you …"
"State your conditions! No way I'll let you go! "Tang Li understood her very well.
"After you get my personal seal and Cloud Realm's arms trade, you have to promise to protect my life and provide me with good food and drinks!" Ning Jing said seriously. She didn't notice the flash of joy in Tang Li's eyes.
He had been waiting for her to yield and compromise for a long, long time.
As long as she was willing to yield a step, he would protect her life even if he had to offend all the elders of the Tang Clan, his father, and the entire East Qin faction!
He didn't want her to leave, much less die.
"It's a promise!" Tang Li stuck out his pinky.
Ning Jing glanced at him disdainfully. She refused to make a pinky promise with him, but took his hand and gave him a high five.
But as soon as Ning Jing's hand touched Tang Li's, Tang Li suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head and kissed her in a familiar manner. He domineeringly pried open her mouth and entered.
However, after a while, Ning Jing suddenly broke free from him and looked at him with eyes filled with confusion.
Tang Li instantly sobered up. His lips curled as he said with a cold smile, "I hope our cooperation goes smoothly. One more woman to warm my bed, this Sect Master ….."
Before he could finish, Ning Jing sent a slap over. She used a lot of strength and slapped Tang Li's face until it swelled up, but her voice was still calm. She even smiled at Tang Li as she said, "You can't do it. How about you kill me right now?"
"I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning!" Tang Li threw down these words before turning to leave.
His breath still lingered on her lips. Ning Jing grinned, full of self-mockery …..
Deep into the night, Long Fei Ye, who was far away in the army, didn't know that Tang Li had fallen into Ning Jing's trap. He personally interrogated the three dancer spies. The tall dancer and the lead dancer were tortured to death, but they didn't make a sound. Now, only the green-clothed dancer was still breathing, but she didn't say a word for the entire night.
This was Long Fei Ye's biggest failure in interrogating spies. Although it was a failure, he rather admired Bai Yanqing's female spies. After all, the torture he used the entire night was torture.
When he walked out of the cell, Han Yunxi immediately walked over from the other side. She had been watching all night and didn't show her face.
"Your Highness, let's keep this woman. We'll interrogate her in a few days," Baili Yuanlong advised. He stood in front of Han Yunxi, blocking her.
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything, but reached out a hand to Han Yunxi. Even if Baili Yuanlong wasn't willing, he still had to step aside.
The water prison was set up in a karst cave under the river next to the army camp. It was guarded by mermaid soldiers and was very well hidden. Long Fei Ye led Han Yunxi out of the karst cave and only let her go when they reached the shore.
Baili Yuanlong followed, but before he could speak, Long Fei Ye said Coldly, "This crown prince will be leaving secretly tonight. I'll have to trouble General Baili with military affairs."
"Your Highness, are you planning to use that clue?" Baili Yuanlong asked in a low voice.
Han Yunxi was slightly startled. She didn't understand what Baili Yuanlong wanted, but she didn't ask on the spot.
"Mn." Long Fei Ye instructed, "Proceed as usual in the army. Both the navy and the army, prepare for war at any time. Also, pay attention to Tian An and Western Zhou's movements."
"Yes." Baili Yuanlong glanced at Han Yunxi, thinking that His Highness was probably going to leave with Han Yunxi.
Just as he was wondering how to persuade him, Xu Donglin suddenly rushed over. "Your Highness, General, several soldiers in the kitchen camp have been poisoned. I don't know what poison they've been poisoned with, but they're foaming at the mouth and twitching nonstop. The military doctors are helpless."
Long Fei Ye and Baili Yuanlong were both startled, but Han Yunxi didn't say anything and hurriedly ran to the kitchen camp. Long Fei Ye immediately followed, leaving Baili Yuanlong standing in place with a complicated expression.
"General Baili, shall we go together?" Xu Donglin asked tentatively.
Baili Yuanlong glared at him, then left with a flick of his sleeves. When he arrived at the kitchen camp, he was shocked by the scene in front of him! Xu Donglin, who'd arrived shortly after, was also shocked.
Before he'd left, several soldiers were still foaming at the mouth and twitching all over. In just a short while, their skin had turned black, and even their faces had turned black. It was extremely terrifying!
Han Yunxi had the poisoned soldiers take the antidote one by one, then turned to look at Long Fei Ye. "I can only save one. Who should I save? Hurry up! "
Long Fei Ye was about to speak when Baili Yuanlong cried out in alarm, "What do you mean?"
Han Yunxi took out golden needles and medicine from her medical pouch as she explained, "They've been poisoned by the White-Lipped Ringed Krait. If they've been poisoned for more than three minutes, they'll undoubtedly die. To detoxify this poison, besides taking the antidote, you also need to find the acupoints to expel the poison. There's no time now, so I can only save one person. Hurry up and make your choice. Otherwise, you won't be able to save anyone. Also, General Baili, you'd better hurry and inform the soldiers to be on high alert. The White-Lipped Ringed Kraits usually don't move, but once they do, they'll move in groups. There's at least a thousand of them. It's impossible for them to only attack these few soldiers. There must be a big snake den near the camp! "
As Han Yunxi spoke, she tossed Baili Yuanlong a large bag of antidote. "Soak two large vats of water and let the soldiers drink it, just in case!"
Baili Yuanlong caught the antidote. He was seventy percent convinced and thirty percent skeptical. His Highness trusted Han Yunxi, and so would he. His Highness was willful, but he wouldn't joke around with the lives of the entire army.
However, Han Yunxi was still a Western Qin princess! If he had poison in his hands, the Baili Army would be completely wiped out!
Long Feiye picked the strongest soldier and said, "Protect him!"
Xu Donglin hurriedly stepped forward to help the soldier take off his shirt. Han Yunxi's movements were nimble, fast, and accurate. She had her own set of acupuncture techniques, and her movements were professional, domineering, and charming.
Baili Yuanlong had already sent someone to inform him of this emergency, but he still held the antidote in his hand, hesitating.
Long Fei Ye frowned. "What are you still standing there for?"
Baili Yuanlong hurriedly turned and left. He returned to his own tent and personally soaked the antidote into two large vats of water. However, he didn't immediately distribute it to the soldiers. Instead, he found a soldier to test it out.
The soldier took a sip and didn't suffer any major injuries. Two military doctors stood by his side and checked his pulse every once in a while.
Baili Mingxiang rushed over when he heard the news. He was extremely anxious when he saw the soldier testing the antidote. Just as he was about to persuade him, Deputy General Zhao rushed in like a madman. "General! General! Something bad has happened! A large number of poisonous snakes have appeared in the West Camp. All the soldiers there have been bitten, and only a dozen or so have survived! So far, we've only discovered about three hundred snakes. We don't know if there are any more that haven't been found yet. "
Most of the soldiers were sleeping in the middle of the night. It was impossible to guard against a swarm of poisonous snakes! Moreover, Baili Yuanlong had just issued the order, and the soldiers hadn't yet deployed their defenses.
When he recalled Han Yunxi's "at least a thousand", Baili Yuanlong's vision darkened and he almost fainted.
It's over!
