Chapter 240: The Increasingly Tense Situation

The originally tense atmosphere suddenly became very depressing because of the words of Zhao.

As a matter of fact, Zhao was also very nervous in his heart. He did not expect that Ye Zhaojue’s man had come to the Nanyue Dynasty. Something really important must have happened, which made them so anxious.

But Zhao was even more worried in his mind that if anything happened to General Ye Zhaojue, Princess would not forgive Prince. They all knew this clearly in their hearts.

General Ye Zhaojue was Princess’s last relative. If Master’s concealment really brought indelible harm to Princess, then it was really impossible for Princess to forgive Master.

Thinking about this, Zhao was also very anxious in his heart.

They all didn’t want to see the consequence like that.

When Zhao heard Bai Aoxue say that she wanted him to bring the person in, his heart was hanging high spontaneously.

“Please go in.” Zhao said in a heavy voice.

Xu Yansong did not stand on ceremony with Zhao. If it was as General speculated, then whoever was around Jun Yeyan could be the mole, and he must be vigilant all the time.

After entering the house, Xu Yansong saw Bai Aoxue at a glance. He walked quickly to the side of Bai Aoxue and said, “I am Xu Yansong. Show my respect for you.”

Bai Aoxue still had some impressions of Xu Yansong. She couldn’t help but help Xu Yansong get up and said, “Uncle Xu, what happened to my uncle? What happened to him in the Mobei Dynasty?”

Xu Yansong heard that Bai Aoxue asked like this. He knew that Bai Aoxue probably knew something, so he looked at Zhao behind him and said, “Miss, I came here all the way from the Mobei Dynasty. There is something I need to give you in person. I hope that all the miscellaneous freeloaders can leave. After all, General told me to do this repeatedly.”

Bai Aoxue listened to Xu Yansong’s words. Although she did not understand why her uncle did so, she still nodded and looked at Zhao, saying, “Zhao. You go out and wait for me first.”

After Zhao listened to Bai Aoxue’s words and saw Jun Yeyan nodding, he took the order and left the room. But he just stayed outside the door and never left.

Bai Aoxue looked at Xu Yansong and slowly said, “All right. Uncle Xu, there are all our own people here. You can say it now.”

After saying, she made a cup of tea for Xu Yansong.

Recalling what happened during this period, Xu Yansong said dejectedly, “Miss, you probably know something, and I will tell it to you briefly.”

Bai Aoxue was a little nervous while listening to him.

Xu Yansong sadly said, “On that day, when we arrived in the Mobei Dynasty, General originally planned to follow Princess Luoyan into the Imperial City of the Mobei Dynasty. But the Mobei Dynasty’s army intercepted us halfway. They forcibly took Princess Luoyan away and launched an attack on us. At that time, in order to protect General, several brothers died, including Brother Xingzhi, who also died in that fight.”

Bai Aoxue did not expect that the outgoing bearded uncle unexpectedly passed away like this. He just joked with her not long ago and told her how much her uncle missed her. How could he die after such a short time?

Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue was very sad in her heart. She thought of her uncle and didn’t know how sad her uncle would be. Uncle Xingzhi and he had fought together against the enemy in battles for many years. They had become brothers already. When her uncle watched Uncle Xingzhi die, how painful his heart would be!

“Later, after the Mobei Dynasty’s army captured Princess Luoyan, they did not chase or intercept to kill us. And we also stopped General who wanted to recapture Princess Luoyan and avenge Brother Xingzhi. We returned to the garrison camp of the Chengxi Dynasty. General did not say a word for many days. He stayed in front of Brother Xingzhi’s remains all the time. Later, a team came over from the Chengxi Dynasty. It was sent by the dog emperor, Jun Wuhen, who was determined to replace General.”

Xu Yansong clenched his fists angrily and said.

“Now, they stay in the camp and forcibly put General and those trusted followers around General under house arrest. They forced General to hand over the catilla. General and our brothers covered for me and let me go all the way to the Nanyue Dynasty to tell you these things. Now Jun Wuhen has decided to fall out with General. Miss, you must also be unsafe. General asked me to give this letter to you and tell you not to go back to the Chengxi Dynasty recently.” Xu Yansong said and handed the letter in his arms over to Bai Aoxue’s hands.

But Bai Aoxue’s dark-black eyebrows tightly frowned, and she had mixed feelings in her mind.

“Is there a spy on my uncle’s side or on Jun Yeyan’s side? Or has someone betrayed us?” After thinking for a while, Bai Aoxue still asked the questions in her mind.

Xu Yansong listened to Bai Aoxue’s questions. He was slightly stunned and did not expect that Bai Aoxue thought of these questions so quickly. Then he seriously nodded and said, “That’s also what General said. But our brothers are all with General now. It is impossible for anyone to make contact with the dog emperor, Jun Wuhen.”

Jun Yeyan who had not spoken all the time lightly glanced at Xu Yansong and said, “So, does General Xu mean that someone on my side has betrayed us?”

As soon as Xu Yansong heard the light tone of Jun Yeyan, the suppressed anger in his heart also broke out.

Xu Yansong looked at Jun Yeyan and asked, “The 5th prince, do you think that it has nothing to do with you? General has already known the truth that if his great achievements jeopardize the emperor’s position, then he will get into danger soon. He had planned to resign after the handover when going to the Mobei Dynasty this time. But after General came back to the Chengxi Dynasty this time and our Miss married you, these things happened. Do you think that it has nothing to do with you at all?”

“On our side, there is no reason to betray General. So, why should we lose our brothers to just get the catilla? On the contrary, the people on your side are always mysterious. You have always been secretive. We don’t know what kind of person you are, but General has always believed in you. I hope you can find out these things and don’t let General down.” Xu Yansong said in a heavy voice.

Bai Aoxue listened to Xu Yansong’s words and thought of what Bai Qiwei said when he left. When Jun Wuhen came back to the Chengxi Dynasty, he planned to attack Jun Yeyan. So, there was only one possibility that Jun Wuhen already knew the camouflage of Jun Yeyan and wanted to completely kill Jun Yeyan.

But Jun Yeyan had already been camouflaged for so many years. There was not a flaw left at all. There was only one possibility that someone told Jun Wuhen about the camouflage of Jun Yeyan.

And Jun Wuhen could no longer nurse a viper in his bosom. Since Jun Yeyan was just pretending, then sooner or later her uncle would stand on the side of Jun Yeyan. At that time, there would be a big hidden danger. Jun Wuhen just took advantage of this opportunity. When all the people were separated, he planned to catch both sides in an action.

After Xu Yansong finished speaking, the room was silent for a moment.

“Zhao.” After a long time, Jun Yeyan gently opened his thin lips.

As soon as Zhao outside the door heard Jun Yeyan call him, he quickly entered the room and said, “Master.”

“Is there anything unusual in Zhaoye’s letters in reply during this period of time?” Jun Yeyan ruminated for a while and had already known the answer in his heart.

As soon as Zhao heard what Jun Yeyan said, he was slightly stunned, but he said in time, “Master, Zhaoye’s letters in reply have always said that everything is normal in the capital, and there is nothing unusual.”

And as soon as Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan listened to the words of Zhao, they looked at each other. They already knew the answer in their hearts.

Nothing unusual was the biggest unusual.

Bai Aoxue with her sparkling and bright eyes looked at Jun Yeyan and asked, “How much does he know about us?”

After Jun Yeyan listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, he was slightly stunned and said, “He doesn’t know anything about us except our initial deal.”

As soon as Bai Aoxue heard what Jun Yeyan said, she almost felt dizzy.

Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan firmly and said word by word, “I’m leaving for the Mobei Dynasty now.”

In her heart, she just hoped that her uncle would not have any accidents. Her deal with Jun Yeyan had nothing to do with her uncle at all. If anything happened to her uncle, she couldn’t forgive herself for the rest of her life.

After saying, Bai Aoxue was going to turn around and leave.

And she met Nalan Youhong who had just arrived.

“Yan. The emperor of the Nanyue Dynasty is dead.” Nalan Youhong looked at Jun Yeyan and seriously said.

Jun Yeyan and the other people were all shocked after listening to the news brought by Nalan Youhong.

Nalan Youhong seriously said, “Liu Muwei’s family was all killed except Liu Muwei and Liu Zixi. They disappeared. And Qi Muyuan was taken away by someone. Now the city gate is closed, and no one will be allowed to go in or out for the moment.”

As soon as Bai Aoxue heard the news brought by Nalan Youhong, the violence which she had endured for a long time was boiling and clamoring just like a trapped animal which was about to get out of its cage.

Jun Yeyan walked to the side of Bai Aoxue. He gently hugged Bai Aoxue and said softly, “Xue. You can’t leave the Nanyue Dynasty today. Shall we leave early tomorrow morning? I’ll accompany you to the Mobei Dynasty then. Can you wait patiently now?”

He could feel the emotion of Bai Aoxue at this moment, which was too intense. He was not familiar with Bai Aoxue like this at this moment.

Bai Aoxue was held in the arms of Jun Yeyan, and there was a moment of peace in her mind.

“I must leave the Nanyue Dynasty tomorrow. I will kill whoever gets in my way.” Bai Aoxue whispered. Her voice was hoarse with bloodthirsty forbearance. The murderous look flashed in her phoenix-like eyes, which was frightening.

Jun Yeyan nodded and stopped talking.

Bai Aoxue recalled that Qi Muyuan was taken away by someone. She lightly said, “Has Qi Liange sent someone to look for her?”

Nalan Youhong lightly said, “Now they are looking for her all over the city, but I’m afraid that the post house will be searched soon.”

Bai Aoxue nodded and said, “If they want to search, just let them search.”

Jun Yeyan also asked Zhao to prepare everything just to wait for the dawn to leave.

And now Bai Aoxue’s mind was always restless. She always felt that something was going to happen.

It was getting dark gradually. But all of them were a little anxious in their hearts.

It was the same in the Imperial Palace. But there was still no news of Qi Muyuan now. Qi Liange was already very anxious in his heart. He had never been so anxious and had the feeling that things were out of his control.

“Emperor!” An anxious voice came over and interrupted the chaotic thoughts of Qi Liange.

Qi Liange looked at a little eunuch who stumbled into the Zhao Yang Palace and asked in a heavy voice, “Do you have any news?”

“Emperor. This is what I saw outside the palace.” The little eunuch was holding an arrow with a letter strung on it.

Qi Liange looked at the things in the hands of the little eunuch. He strode over to the little eunuch and took the arrow to take down the letter.

After reading the letter, Qi Liange raised his lips, but his smile did not reach the depths of his eyes.

“Get ready to catch the big fish with me tonight.” Qi Liange said in a heavy voice.

As soon as everyone listened to his words, they all knew that Qi Liange had a countermeasure. Their hanging hearts were finally put down a lot with relief.
