When Wu Siying and Ning Xizui walked into the room, they happened to see Su Buqi raising and lowering his palms. He knocked Su Jinyan unconscious neatly. Wu Siying was dumbfounded and could not make a sound for a long time with his mouth open.
"Confused and talking nonsense." Su Buqi explained concisely and calmly.
Ning Xizui took a look at Bai Qizui's face. It was much paler than before he left. He immediately guessed that Su Jinyan had said something he shouldn't have said. He silently waved his hand to Ning Xizui and pulled Bai Qige out of the room. Lu Fei Du also came out soon after.
"I said, you don't want to save people, do you?" Lu Feidu laughed dryly, and the corners of his mouth were extremely stiff. "There is no king in Zhao State now. Every action of the Bai family represents Zhao State. You have never thought of being rash. What will happen if you run away to help the prince of the distant country? After all, he is a respectable person. Can you think more carefully."
Lu Feidu is an outspoken person, and his words are inevitably not pleasant to the ears. Ning Xizui glanced sideways. Facing Bai Qige, she still looked kind and cheerful: "What are Miss Bai's plans? If you want to save the prince, I won't stop you. But .You will never be allowed to throw yourself into the trap alone."
Bai Qige turned around and looked at Ning Xizui helplessly.
This man was like a worm in her stomach. He could guess her thoughts without even having to say them out loud. Before she even had time to make a complete plan, all kinds of objections had been thrown at her to block her risky retreat.
"Yi Chenxuan is a master of poison. If he really wants to kill Su Jinyan and silence her, there is no need to send people to pursue him. Being able to save his breath and escape here is because someone has planned it for Su Jinyan." Bai Qige did not continue to dwell on whether to save the person or not. The question changed and the focus shifted to Su Jinyan.
Ning Xizui raised her eyebrows. After thinking about it, she finished what she wanted to say: "If what Jin Yan said is true, and Yi Chenxuan has controlled everyone, including Emperor Yao and the Crown Prince, then he He could have eliminated the root cause to avoid future troubles. There is only one reason for his delay in taking action... He is not ready to become the winner. In other words, he is waiting for something."
"I hope it's not me."
"It's just you, Miss Bai."
They looked at each other for a moment, and then they both smiled bitterly. Both of them were hiding the same melancholy.
In fact, it is easy for Yi Chenxuan to kill whoever he wants. In Bai Qige's view, he regards himself as a hunter, dealing with the prey with a teasing mentality and taking pleasure; or perhaps he has deified himself and refuses to kill in order to retain a little fun. To him, a mortal is like an ant. He stubbornly forces everything to develop according to the trajectory he set, until everything ends as desired.
In the past, I only felt that Yi Chenxuan was sinister and cunning. Now I have an additional feeling. That man is clearly a madman and a paranoid. His heart and soul have long been distorted.
"Since Yi Chenxuan is waiting for me, the last chess piece, to return to his position, I can't let him down. I have to stop him from turning Zhongzhou into a hell on earth. This is probably the only chance." Bai Qige did not care for Lu Feidu and Ning at all. Moved by Xizui's persuasion, his eyes lit up with determination. Lu Feidu was anxious. His face turned dark and he wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Bai Qige lightly: "General Lu, it's not that I am unreasonable and only care about the personal affairs of my children. Think about it. If Yi Chenxuan really became the emperor of the Yao Kingdom, could he let go of the Zhao Kingdom, Anling, and even the Five Monan Kingdoms... He didn't care about the war in the world and his infamy for thousands of years. He just wanted to turn everything in the world into his. His plaything. If he doesn’t die, there will never be peace in the world.”
"It's just one person. Is it so scary?" Lu Feidu muttered and complained. He accidentally saw Ning Xizui looking at him with a strange smile. He felt unspeakably uncomfortable all over his body. He shivered and backed away. "Yes. .I can’t care about your affairs. I’ll ask the master what he wants.”
At present, the alliance between the two countries has been reached verbally but no contract has been signed. Bai Qige doesn't know whether Lord Anling will take the initiative to help Bai Qige. And whether her intention to save Yi Chenjing will affect the alliance.
The situation that had just been settled once again stirred up trouble. Bai Qige explained to Bai Jingfu the chaotic situation in the distant country. Bai Jingfu did not say a word. His face was full of fatigue. Su Jinyan woke up quickly under the care of Wu Siying, who had some medical skills. He was more meticulous. He narrated what happened and what he knew about it again. When he looked at Bai Qige, his eyes were still cold. He seemed to be quite disgusted with her. Fortunately, Bai Qige didn't mind. He tried not to appear in front of Su Jinyan unless necessary and stayed alone in the room. I don't know what to think.
On the evening of the second day, the decision that made everyone anxious was finally announced. But only to a few people, not all.
"I must go to Yaoguo. I must save people. But you can rest assured. Bai Qige is here to assure you that everything I do from now on will be in my own name. It will never implicate Zhaoguo and Anlingguo."
Wu Siying and Lu Feidu stared blankly, not knowing what to say. Bai Jingfu sighed, remained silent, and left with his hands behind his hands.
Among all the people, Ning Xizui was probably the only one who was not surprised at all. And completely opposite to the others, he expressed clear support for Bai Qige's decision: "King An Ning targeted Miss Bai. Miss Bai's departure from Zhao Kingdom is also a big deal for the people of Zhao Kingdom." A kind of protection. Anyway, the people of Zhao State will not agree to send troops for this. It makes no difference whether it is in an individual capacity or as a country." Before Bai Qige could express his gratitude, Ning Xizui patted Bai Qige on the shoulder again with a serious face: "Then it's settled. Miss Bai, let's go to the distant country together."
"...It's not us. It's me."
"Don't change things that have been agreed upon casually. Time is urgent. There can be no further delay."
"Who did Mr. Ning make an agreement with? Why don't I know?" Bai Qige was amazed by Ning Xizui's rogue behavior.
During the dispute, Wu Siying was the first to raise an important question: "It is really unwise for the third lady to go to the palace alone. King An Ning guessed that the third lady was deeply in love and would go to save the prince. He must have laid a dragnet waiting for the third lady to take the bait. So Isn't it right to rush in recklessly? It's a useless sacrifice. It's unnecessary. It's not worth it."
"How dare I go alone? No matter how impulsive I am, I have to understand the difference." Bai Qige shook her head. "I don't plan to go to the imperial capital directly. While Yi Chenxuan hasn't done anything yet, Xiao Yezi and I will act separately and try our best to mobilize. The gangster brothers at Yiye Villa and Qiaojiazhai helped contact the war court. In addition, I know that Chen Jing also has a group of loyal soldiers in private. The number is almost the same as the imperial army in the palace. As long as they are willing to rush into the palace to fight against Yi Chenxuan Then Zhan Ting and I will have a chance to rescue Chen Jing and the others. What happens next... we will discuss it later after everyone is rescued."
Lu Feidu blinked. He stumbled for a long time before saying a word: "It's... so bold."
She is a descendant of the leader's family of the Zhao Kingdom. She is a woman who stood on the city wall and frightened 40,000 soldiers of the distant army and dismissed the prince with a stroke of her pen. How could she have the confidence to make the soldiers of the distant kingdom trust her and follow her? Even if I believe it. How can a female prostitute shake Yi Chenxuan's deep-rooted and huge power? With only a few people, he can solve the siege of the palace.
The same worry also appeared in Wu Siying's heart. He frowned and looked at Ning Xizui who seemed to be okay. Then he looked at the stubborn Bai Qige. The alliance master with a special status sighed heavily.
"Third Miss, my mentor has just lost General Bai. Have you considered his feelings for such... such risky behavior? To put it bluntly, even if the mentor allows it, Third Miss is sure to defeat the cunning King An Ning. Well, all of us in this circle have suffered from him. How cunning and vicious that man is, even Miss Third, I understand. Forgive Wu Siying for his blunt words, I really can’t understand this plan of going into danger alone.”
Nothing but silence was opposition. Her ears were almost numb. Bai Qige lowered her head and remained silent, pretending that she had not heard the words of concern.
This is the final showdown between her and Yi Chenxuan. Either life or death. She knows better than anyone how tragic the ending may be. However, she will not back down. For the sake of Yi Chenjing and herself, she walked to the window and watched silently. Quiet sky. Feeling a little reluctant, but not as longing for Yi Chenjing. Bai Qige took a deep breath. Her silent actions made other people in the room quiet down.
"Chen Jing and I separated because of his status as the prince of the Yao Kingdom. But now that the Yao Kingdom palace has changed, he can no longer be regarded as the representative of the Yao Kingdom. It is no longer about the grudges between the two countries. A husband and wife can live together for a hundred days. I used to be His wife. Rather than choose to wait for the news of his death in a safe place, I would rather die with him... This is also the agreement between us."
Between public and private affairs, between emotion and reason, there is nothing blameworthy about Bai Qige's choices. Even Lu Feidu, who was the most opposed, had nothing to say.
She is so affectionate. What else can stop her?
It's better to have everything come true than to see two people who love each other separated forever and in ruins for the rest of their lives.
The plan supported by only one person was finalized in everyone's silence. Xu couldn't stand such a weird atmosphere. Bai Qige went back to the bedroom to rest early. People who didn't know her knew they were not qualified to dissuade her and wouldn't come. People who knew her knew they couldn't stop it. I won't waste any time talking. But this night was unusually quiet.
When I woke up in the morning, there seemed to be someone whispering something outside the house. Bai Qige put on her clothes and opened the door. Lu Feidu and Wu Siying hurriedly stood up, forcing out a stiff smile.
"Is something okay, you two?"
"No... ah. Something happened." Lu Feidu was stabbed hard by Wu Siying. The smile on his face became more and more distorted and stiff. "That... our lord meant. He is willing to send troops to help the third lady go to the distant country to liberate the palace. However, I hope the third lady can reconsider the marriage between the two countries..."
Bai Qige smiled. She was not as gentle and close as usual.
"It's not necessary. Having too many people can easily cause things to go wrong. By the way, you don't need to discuss the alliance with me anymore. From today on, I have nothing to do with the Bai family and the Zhao country. Bai Qige, the lord of your country, appreciates your kindness. You two. Please come back."
After saying that, Bai Qige walked back to the room without looking back. The door was coldly closed.
Wu Siying and Lu Feidu looked at me and I looked at you, with the same wry smiles on their faces. Especially Lu Feidu, with a hint of resentment.
"I really don't know who to listen to. The relationship has finally been eased...sigh."
"It's unintentional. The flowing water is ruthless. But there are those who can't stand it and insist on twisting it. In the end, who will be better?" Wu Siying smiled bitterly, unfolded the crumpled letter in his hand and tore it into pieces.
The whole country has been blocked. The Bai family will send troops to help if they make a marriage contract. If they don't get married, there will be no discussion.
That was the most unreasonable order Wu Siying had received since he became Anling's army chief.·
