"We shall obey the first order!" Artemisia annulata Lam agreed and then came to Jiang Yue's side, "Emissary Jiang, please!"

After waiting for a while, without seeing that Jiang Yue had made any move, he did not say anymore and reached out to grab his shoulder.

Just as Artemisia annulata Lam's fingers were about to touch Jiang Yue, a shadow flashed and a hand grabbed onto Artemisia annulata Lam's wrist, preventing him from moving.

Jiang Yue calmly smiled, "Chiang Mou said that even though they aren't tools, they can protect me!"

Being able to enter the Artemisia annulata Lam and become the Emperor, his skills were definitely not ordinary, but right now, this Artemisia annulata Lam's hand seemed to be restrained by a pair of iron pincers, and was incapable of moving. Although the other hand was unharmed, he did not dare to act rashly, because the person facing him had a terrifying gaze, he had no doubt that if he made even the slightest movement, that person would instantly break his own wrist.

Yan Zhong Shan's eyes flashed with coldness, "In that case, does this mean that Emissary Jiang is determined to disobey the Sovereign's decree?"

Jiang Yue raised his eyebrows: Yan Tzu Cha's words are wrong, I am a citizen of Northern Week, Chu Di has never been my ruler, how can I talk about defying the Sovereign decree?

Yan Zhong Shan was choked up by his words. That's right, Jiang Yue was the envoy of the Northern Week, not someone from the West Chu.

In that car, Jiang Yue's voice still continued, "Before I left for West Chu, Your Majesty had once instructed Chiang Mou to immediately return and report to Northern Week after meeting Chu Di. Without delay, his order was like a mountain, this Chiang Mou truly does not dare to go against it, I hope that Yan Tzu Cha does not make things difficult for me."

Yan Zhong Shan stared at him for a moment, then said coldly: "Since Emissary Jiang has joined my West Chu, then we will just follow the rules and return a day or two late. We have heard of how wise Emperor Zhou is, and we won't blame you for this matter."

"A day or two?" Jiang Yue said with a trace of sarcasm: "Even the heavily guarded Miyagi cannot trap the assassin, so where does Yan Tzu Cha get the confidence to capture the assassin within one or two days? If you fail to catch the assassin within one year, then I will stay here for a year! "

When his words landed in the normally proud and arrogant Yan Zhong Shan's ears, it became extremely ear-piercing. He immediately said: "Impossible, before sunset, I will definitely capture a group of assassins alive!"

"Since Yan Tzu Cha has complete confidence, why must we trap him in the city? "Make way, unless …" Jiang Yue slightly raised his chin, and stared at Yan Zhong Shan with a haughty attitude, saying word by word: "You want to cause trouble at the border!"

Yan Zhong Shan scoffed, and said disapprovingly: "You think that the Emperor Zhou will fight with the West Chu over you alone?"

"If you don't believe me, you can try. But Chiang Mou should remind Yan Tzu Cha that there is no medicine for regret in this world." The late spring sunlight shone onto Jiang Yue's body, causing people to be unable to see the expression on his face.

Yan Zhong Shan's face turned purple. Ever since he had become famous, this was the first time someone threatened him in such a way. He couldn't help but think that Northern Week, the strongest country in the Central Plains … He truly had the qualifications to be arrogant, just these few guards that were casually sent out, were enough to make Artemisia annulata Lam unable to raise his head.

Seeing that Yan Zhong Shan had not moved at all, Jiang Yue continued to speak faintly: "Looks like Yan Tzu Cha really wants the two countries to become restless. Chiang Mou is fine, but I wonder if Yan Tzu Cha will be able to handle this accusation when I say it?"

Xiao Ruo Ao had ordered for the city gates to be sealed, originally it was meant to prevent Mu Qian Xue and the others from escaping the Ying Tian, but now that they had escaped, it did not matter whether they were confined or not. For that, offending the Northern Week was not worth it.

After thinking about it a few times, Yan Zhong Shan slowly loosened his tightly held hands inside his sleeves, and coldly said: "Make way!"

Hearing his words, gate warden immediately moved away from the barrier, opening up a path for the carriage to pass through. Seeing that, Jiang Yue smiled, and spoke to the guard who was grabbing onto Artemisia annulata Lam's wrist: Let go.

Once he gained his freedom, Artemisia annulata Lam immediately retreated behind Yan Zhong Shan, his right hand which was hanging by his side continuously trembling. If someone were to lift up his sleeves, they would discover that there were five clear, dark purple finger marks on his wrist.

"Thank you!" After saying those two words, Jiang Yue got into the carriage and exited the city gate. Not long after they left, a gate warden walked in front of Yan Zhong Shan, and started speaking again, "First Lord …"

Yan Zhong Shan was furious at the moment, so she did not have any nice expression to give him, "What are you stuttering about? Speak!"

gate warden seemed to be shocked by his tone, as he lowered his head and said: "Just now … "When the carriage door opened, the little person could vaguely see figures moving inside. I'm afraid there's still someone inside the carriage."

"Someone else?" Yan Zhong Shan raised his eyebrows in suspicion. From what he knew, the only messenger that the Northern Week had sent was Jiang Yue, and the guards could not possibly be sitting in the carriage. In other words, who could it be that a person who did not belong to the Northern Week's diplomatic mission had snuck in? And why hide in a carriage?

Yan Zhong Shan looked up and saw that after he left the city, Jiang Yue had completely changed from his slow look from before. He was moving on the public road at full speed, as if there was a tiger or wolf chasing after him.

Jiang Yue's abnormal behavior made Yan Zhong Shan even more suspicious, but he was still unable to figure out the crux of the matter. Right at this moment, the gate warden from before spoke out again: "First Lord, there is still one more thing, I do not know whether or not I should say."

"Actually... When the assassins rushed out, because their speed was too fast, the little people couldn't see their appearance clearly. "

Yan Zhong Shan's expression changed, could it be … Escaping the city was just a pretense, but were they still in the city? When they thought about it carefully, they realized that they had only caught up to the assassin after almost an incense stick of time had passed.

He had to use his underlings to create a false image of him escaping the Ying Tian City to distract them, then he would hide inside Jiang Yue's carriage and use his identity as the envoy of the Northern Week to arrogantly exit the city. This way, it could explain why Jiang Yue had ran away so quickly the moment he left the city.

As for the assassin risking his life to stop them, he simply wanted them to believe that Mu Qian Xue was among the group that was going to leave the city.

The only thing he could not understand was why Jiang Yue, the envoy of the Northern Week, would take such a risk to help them.

The answers Artemisia annulata Lam got from the other gate warden s also indirectly confirmed Yan Zhong Shan's guess. At that time, the horses were like the wind, and not only were the riders unable to see them, even men and women were unable to see them clearly.

What a cunning fox, but he still revealed his tail!
