No one knew who was behind this, but in just a short time this morning, Myriad Merchant Hall's auction house had been exposed for fake goods, and several casinos had been exposed for cheating.
The auction house and casinos were the most profitable pillars of their business. Now that they were in trouble, Myriad Merchant Hall suffered a great loss.
Ning Jing was far away in Northern Li. Before the princess came over to preside over the situation, the Council of Elders could only rely on Ning Jing. The Council of Elders couldn't make a decision on such an important matter.
As Ning Jing hurried to the assembly hall, she asked in a daze, "Isn't Han Yunxi in the army? Why is she with Long Fei Ye? What does she mean? Why is my brother hiding it for her? "
The Head Elder also wanted to know the answers to Ning Jing's questions. Unfortunately, the guards didn't know either.
The Head Elder shook his head. "Miss Jing, how can Myriad Merchant Hall concern themselves with the princess's matters?"
"Where's Uncle Cheng?" Ning Jing asked again.
The Head Elder finally told her about the auction house and casinos. "Uncle Cheng is handling the dealer in the casinos. He won't be able to come over for a while."
There was no need for the Head Elder to explain. Ning Jing, who was well-versed in the business world, knew very well that the auction house had been exposed for fake goods, and the casinos had been exposed for cheating. No matter which one of these matters was handled properly, it would be a fatal blow to Myriad Merchant Hall.
These two places weren't just Myriad Merchant Hall's money bag, but also its reputation. Transactions in the black market were even more untrustworthy than those in the open. They were even more afraid of fraud. Those who could come to the Three-Way Black Market mostly had neither a shortage of goods nor silver. Myriad Merchant Hall's business in recent years was far worse than before. If this crisis wasn't resolved, the auction house and casinos' business would definitely be snatched away by Golden Wing Hall and East Origin Hall.
Ning Jing hadn't calmed down from Ning Cheng's matter, but the casinos and auction house incident made her feel alarmed again. It was obvious that someone had deliberately come to cause trouble.
She had never been so flustered before. She even had a premonition that the Di Clan's Ning Clan was about to fall and fall apart. She lowered her head and hurried away. She looked calm, but in reality, she couldn't think straight.
Suddenly, the child in her stomach moved.
Ning Jing abruptly stopped in her tracks, as if she had just woken up from a dream. Her hand was about to touch her lower abdomen, but when she saw the Great Elder looking at her, she put her hand down.
The baby could move. She could feel it!
"Miss Jing, what's wrong?" First Elder asked.
"No."
Ning Jing looked back and quickly walked forward. Unlike her previous panic, she had calmed down. She instructed seriously, "Just leave a group of security guards here. Send the rest to Yue Mountain to coordinate with the archers. We must save my brother!"
"Also, send a message to the army immediately. Tell Deputy General Xue to strengthen the defense and be mentally prepared. If this matter spreads out, please ask him to stabilize the morale of the army. "
"Send someone to tell Uncle Cheng to pay as much as he should. The gamblers will be very satisfied." A trace of viciousness flashed through Ning Jing's eyes. She said in a low voice, "Have him kill the dealer on the spot. Sacrifice the pawn to save the commander.
After giving these instructions, Ning Jing hurried to the auction house to personally deal with the crisis there.
When she reached the entrance of the auction house, she inadvertently wiped her eyes and found that there were still tears in them. However, she resolutely wiped them clean and didn't cry.
There was no point in worrying. She knew that she couldn't atone for her sins. She just wanted to help Ning Cheng take care of Myriad Merchant Hall.
As for why Han Yunxi was with Long Fei Ye, and why Ning Cheng was covering up for Han Yunxi, she would only ask Uncle Cheng when he was free.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were still searching for Ning Cheng. They wanted to save Ning Cheng more than anyone else. Unfortunately, things didn't go as they wished.
Two days later, neither they, the Shadow Guard, nor the Di Clan's men had found any clues.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye returned to the ruins of Blacktower.
Han Yunxi said indifferently, "Could Bai Yuqiao have met up with Bai Yanqing? Bai Yanqing rushed to Blacktower so quickly. He must have a hiding place near Three-Way Black Market. "
Long Fei Ye nodded and ordered Xu Donglin to increase the search.
"Let's search in the nearby valleys and streams." Han Yunxi didn't sit for long before standing up again.
"Let the subordinates search. We'll go back first," Long Fei Ye said indifferently. It was already very unusual for him to personally search for Ning Cheng.
Han Yunxi looked at him and didn't say anything.
Go back? Go back where?
After such a big incident, she couldn't possibly continue to hide her identity and return to East Origin Palace with Long Fei Ye. She couldn't do it.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye said, "Go back to Myriad Merchant Hall."
Han Yunxi looked at him in disbelief, thinking that she had misheard. When did this guy become so easy to negotiate with?
"What are your conditions?" she asked.
Long Fei Ye couldn't help but laugh. He stroked her bangs and laughed, "You didn't become stupid this time."
Sometimes, she would rather be stupid! She looked helplessly at Long Fei Ye, waiting for him to speak.
Long Fei Ye approached and said seriously, "I want you to truly take control of Western Qin's forces. You won't be restricted by anyone from the Ning Clan."
The main reason why they had so many troubles between them and why they still couldn't get rid of Bai Yanqing was because Han Yunxi was only a princess in name. She didn't control a single soldier in Western Qin's camp.
Now that Ning Cheng's whereabouts were unknown, it was the perfect opportunity for Han Yunxi to truly take control of Western Qin. As long as Han Yunxi took control, everything would be easy.
Even if they couldn't stay by her side for the time being, they could still fight side by side!
However, taking control wasn't easy for Han Yunxi. If she returned to Myriad Merchant Hall, how would she explain her relationship with Long Fei Ye to the Di Clan? Without Ning Cheng's support, how would she convince the Di Clan's managers to trust her decisions?
After all, Han Yunxi was still a woman in the eyes of the Di Clan's managers. She was a woman who couldn't step onto the battlefield and couldn't make decisions. They regarded Han Yunxi as their spiritual leader, but the one who could truly lead them into battle was Ning Cheng!
Han Yunxi knew that her return to Myriad Merchant Hall wasn't as simple as the guard had said. Even though Ning Cheng was stubborn and extreme, without him around, it was very likely that she wouldn't be able to do anything in the Di Clan.
Before Han Yunxi could answer, Long Fei Ye said, "You can either come with me now. I still have a way to lure Bai Yanqing out."
Han Yunxi was very surprised, but Long Fei Ye had no intention of telling her. He said seriously, "You can either return to Myriad Merchant Hall. I'll give you ten days. If you can make the decision, I'm willing to cooperate with Western Qin to kill Bai Yanqing. If you can't make the decision, I'll take you away after ten days. The Di Clan will clean up their mess."
This was Long Fei Ye's final concession.
Even if Han Yunxi couldn't control the Di Clan, even if Ning Cheng really betrayed Western Qin and colluded with Bai Yanqing, Long Fei Ye wasn't afraid of trouble.
He needed Han Yunxi to work with him to deal with Bai Yanqing. He needed to rescue Gu Beiyue as soon as possible. He needed to clarify whether the enmity back then was a misunderstanding or hatred.
"Alright, I agree to the ten-day agreement!" Han Yunxi nodded decisively.
Although Long Fei Ye didn't say it out loud, she knew that he had taught her a truth, a very cruel truth. If you wanted to take responsibility, you had to have the ability to take responsibility. Otherwise, you could only obediently bear the guilt!
Uncle Gao drove the carriage over. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi boarded the carriage. Along the way, the two of them didn't speak much. Han Yunxi leaned on Long Fei Ye's shoulder, holding his hand and interlocking their fingers.
When the carriage stopped at the entrance of the black market, Han Yunxi finally couldn't hold it in any longer. "Long Fei Ye, will you be staying at East Origin Hall for the next ten days?"
The corners of Long Fei Ye's mouth lifted slightly, but he still answered her, "Not necessarily."
"Then where are you going?" Han Yunxi was anxious, and quickly stood up.
"To meet Chu Tianyin," Long Fei Ye said. This place was very close to Western Zhou.
"How long will you be gone for?" Han Yunxi asked again.
"Not necessarily," Long Fei Ye answered.
Han Yunxi made an "Oh" sound, and didn't ask any more questions. Long Fei Ye looked at her, and the curve of his lips gradually widened. Unfortunately, Han Yunxi didn't notice.
She was silent for a while, and then said calmly, "Long Fei Ye, I will miss you."
Long Fei Ye held her head, and let her lean into his arms again. It was because of this action that Han Yunxi didn't see how handsome Long Fei Ye's silent smile was.
"What will you think?" He answered very seriously, but he quickly snickered again.
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi didn't answer. Instead, she suddenly raised her head to look at him, and saw his brilliant smile. She was stunned at first, and then became fierce. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled him down, and kissed him!
Han Yunxi, oh Han Yunxi, can you change your position?
Although she had pulled him down a few times, Long Fei Ye was still very willing to lower his noble and proud head and cooperate with her.
Unlike before, Long Fei Ye didn't immediately take the initiative this time. Instead, he didn't move and let Han Yunxi kiss him.
Even though she had been eaten and wiped clean a few times, Han Yunxi's kiss was still a little awkward. It was like she was carefully probing and groping.
Long Fei Ye undoubtedly enjoyed her service. Although he didn't move his mouth, he unconsciously leaned down slowly, and unknowingly forced her to lie on his lap.
Han Yunxi became more and more serious as she kissed. Gradually, she was no longer as careful as she was in the beginning. Instead, it was like she was dealing with an important matter, and she was completely immersed in it. Her hands gradually let go of his neck, and she gently hugged him. Unconsciously, she started to grope his back. Even she didn't know what she was searching for.
But suddenly, Long Fei Ye took the initiative to capture her lips. After fiercely planting a kiss, he left her.
Han Yunxi, who was almost in a daze, was a little stunned and didn't recover for a while. Long Fei Ye smiled wickedly and said in a low voice, "You can't fool around in front of the black market."
Pfft!
Han Yunxi instantly sobered up, and her face flushed red. If she didn't understand what he meant, she would have been bullied on the carriage from the military camp to the Three-Way Black Market for nothing.
Long Fei Ye was the kind of person who would take advantage of others and still pretend to be obedient. His words made it seem like she was fooling around, but he was serious.
Looking at Long Fei Ye's mischievous smile, Han Yunxi silently bore a grudge.
Actually, Long Fei Ye wasn't bullying her. If he didn't control her, she reckoned that he would be the one fooling around.
No matter how serious the joke was, the two of them had to separate in the end. Han Yunxi waited for Long Fei Ye to say that he would miss her. Unfortunately, Long Fei Ye didn't say it.
After alighting from the carriage, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye went to East Origin Hall to tidy up, and changed back into women's clothing.
Long Fei Ye wanted to personally send her to Myriad Merchant Hall, but Han Yunxi stopped him. "Xu Donglin, send me there."
