"He is, Prince Cheng, You, and Huang." Feng Ning Yan clenched her fist and said word by word while gritting her teeth.

Ye Bai was both shocked and enraged, "After General Feng annihilated Skeleton Island, why did King Cheng have assassins under his command? Someone from Skeleton Island escaped? "

Shen Ling didn't even feel the need to lift his eyes to look at Ye Bailu. He felt that this person was actually a meticulous person, despite his seemingly straightforward and stiff expression.

When he heard that the crown prince had been assassinated, he immediately thought that someone else had taken control of the assassins. When he heard that Prince Cheng was behind all of this, he immediately suspected that the skeletons had escaped.

Feng Ning Yan was also glad that Ye Bai was smart. She didn't need to explain too much to explain things to him.

"Shen Youhuang has been advising the crown prince, using poison to control assassins, and secretly training on the deserted island in the southern border. The crown prince never would've thought that it would be Shen Youhuang who did it."

"Pei Shi Ming was loyal to the crown prince, but he was actually Shen You Huang's man. Pei Shi had once entered the capital for a secret meeting with Shen You Huang after Skeleton Island was destroyed, and he was still working for him. Shen Youhuang didn't want the crown prince to live and was afraid that he'd turn the situation around, so she'd intercepted him. "

After listening to Feng Ning Yan's explanation, Ye Bailu lowered his head and began to ponder.

Although the Crown Prince was dead, Ye Bailu did not feel the need to take revenge.

From Feng Ning Yan's description, it seemed that the Crown Prince had been bewitched by Prince Shen You Huang for raising assassins. The matter of the Witch clan being exterminated and Ye Bailu being confined to the Skeleton Island's raising Gu controlling killers were naturally all controlled by Shen Youhuang.

Not to mention that Pei Shi was Shen You Huang's man and both of them were still at large. How could Ye Bai be willing to accept this?

The purpose of Feng Ning Yan's visit was to persuade Ye Bai to stay in Heng Wu Restaurant peacefully. Seeing that he was lost in thought, she continued:

"Mr. Ye, I think you are very clear on the threat these killers pose to Great Yue State. In order to undermine their ability to execute, the duke was forced to release false information that you had already concocted an antidote to their poison, so that they would be tired of finding you and wouldn't be able to work for Shen Youhuang. "

At this point, she felt very sorry: "Your home in Miao Village in the Southern Wilderness is temporarily not going to be able to go back, which is why I had my father protect you here. It won't be long."

Ye Bai thought hard for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Even though Crown Prince Da Yue died, my family is all dead, so what's the point of my own life? Moreover, I've had enough of the days of being watched and placed under house arrest on Skeleton Island. Right now, I only wish to hide from the world and hope that Princess Hua-Yang can fulfill my wish.

Feng Ningyan saw with her own eyes how Ye Bailu lived in that dungeon without seeing the light of day, and knew how desperate he was to be alone.

However, the news had already been spread out. The killers must have been looking for Ye Bailu everywhere. If she agreed to his request and withdrew those who protected him, he would definitely die.

She was in a very difficult situation. She was unwilling to force Ye Bai Ku and unable to order the soldiers to retreat, she could only look at Shen Ling Jue, implying him to persuade Ye Bai Ku.

Shen Ling Jue put down the teacup in his hand, smiled lightly, and said to Ye Bai Ku, "We should respect Mr. Ye's decision, and believe that you have the ability to protect yourself."

Feng Ning Yan was startled, she never thought that Shen Ling Jue would actually help her.

However, when she saw that his expression was calm, as if he was very relaxed and not worried about Ye Bailu's safety at all, Feng Ningyan knew that he definitely had his own plans, so he didn't say anything in front of Ye Bailu.

"Then I shall thank the prince and the wangfei, and also thank General Feng for taking care of me during this period of time."

Ye Chonglou felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off of his shoulders. He got up and went to pack his luggage. It seemed that he couldn't wait to leave this place.

Feng Ningyan was very helpless, she pulled Shen Ling Jue out of the Heng Wu Residence and asked in a low voice, "You're just going to let Mr. Ye leave?"

Shen Ling Jue did not answer her, but ordered Yue Qing to have everyone retreat from the valley.

When Yue Qing heard this, although he was also a little confused, it was really what he wanted. He immediately led his troops and left.

Seeing that everyone had left, Shen Lingjue turned to Feng Ningyan and said, "Ye Bailu does not look like he has nothing to live for, on the contrary, he left very decisively. I guess he must have something urgent to do, but he's not going to let us know. "

"So we can only let him go and secretly follow him?" Feng Ning Yan finally understood Shen Ling Jue's plan.

Shen Ling Jue smiled, "That's the only way."

At this time, Ye Bailu had already walked out of Heng City with his luggage on him and an old umbrella in his arms. He bowed and said goodbye to Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan.

"My prince, my princess, I will be leaving now. "Since I can't return to my hometown for the time being, I plan to stay in the Great Yue State for a while. You don't have to send me through."

Feng Ning Yan looked suspiciously at Shen Ling Jue, feeling that Ye Bai Ku's actions were indeed a little strange.

She handed her horse to Ye Baiku, saying, "Mr. Ye's legs are worse than rheumatism. The weather in Ningnan is quite humid, so you must take care to keep it warm."

Then he tore off his purse and stuffed it into Yebai Ku's bag. "These are for the road, sir. Take good care of yourself."

Ye Bailu looked at Feng Ning Yan gratefully, and then looked at Shen Ling Jue, feeling reluctant to part with him.

"Not long ago, I felt that I was on good terms with the two of you. Unfortunately, we met again in a hurry."

Feng Ningyan smiled and said, "Sir, there's no need to be so depressed. Soon, when the border stabilizes and those troublesome matters are solved, we can meet again."

Ye Bailu lowered his head and forced a smile, then he got on his horse and said goodbye.

Feng Ningyan and Shen Lingjue stood by the lakeside and watched Ye Bailu's lonely figure disappear into the narrow valley.

Shen Ling Jue carried Feng Ning Yan onto the horse and said, "You go back to the military camp first, I'll arrange everything and then we'll come back."

Feng Ningyan knew that there was no mistake when he followed Ye Bailu, so she nodded, "Okay, you have to be careful too."

The two of them split up at the entrance of the valley.

Shen Ling Jue had been secretly following Ye Bai Ku all the way. Seeing him heading north, and seeing that his target was the Southern Prefecture, he knew that Ye Bai was lying about staying away from the world.

He immediately took out a small Firecloud Arrow from his sleeve and released it into the sky.

A sharp whistle sounded as it rose into the sky, erupting into a cloud of red smoke in the high sky.

A moment later, two men in black appeared in the forest beside the path and knelt in front of Shen Ling Jue.

"Subordinate Cheng Ying and Xu Mo pay respect to Pavilion Master!"

It turned out that the two of them were from the Pavilion of Interpretation.

Shen Ling Jue nodded his head, gesturing for the two to get up, "The person who just went was Black Miao Clan's Witch Doctor Ye Bailu. He had saved the lives of this king and his wife, and this king ordered you to protect him well.

Cheng Ying cupped his fists and said, "This subordinate obeys!"

The two of them accepted the order. With a flash, they disappeared into the dense forest like ghosts.

At this time, Feng Ning Yan had already returned to the camp of the Southern Ning County. She told Feng Wei about Ye Bai's insistence on leaving.

Feng Wei said unhappily: "This person is such a shitty b * tch! Instead of living a peaceful life, they had to refuse to protect him! Do you really think those assassins are easy to deal with? "

Just as Feng Ning Yan was about to tell Feng Wei that Shen Ling Jue did it on purpose, the deputy general, Yue Qing, hurriedly walked in.

"General, Young Marshal, the imperial edict has arrived!" Someone from Beijing has arrived! "
