C58

Xiao Jiu'an wanted to know who the traitor within the Yanbei Army was, and it was obvious that Ye Cang Qiong knew, but would he tell him?

"If you want to know who the traitor is, open your eyes wide and see clearly. As for whether or not you can find him, that is not my problem." Ye Cang Qiong looked at Xiao Jiu'an with a mocking expression.

Ji Yunkai quietly stood beside Xiao Jiu'an, and listened to him and Ye Cang Qiong constantly bicker with each other. She silently tried to think of a way out.

It was obvious that this was definitely not Ye Cang Qiong's people. Ye Cang Qiong was just a person from the Jianghu, so it was impossible for him to mobilize so many people in the capital.

"Your Highness, look…." Ji Yunkai's eyes lit up as she pointed to the tea garden and said happily.

Xiao Jiu'an did not need to look at Ji Yunkai to know what she wanted to ask. He slowly nodded and confirmed Ji Yunkai's guess.

"Great!" Receiving Xiao Jiu'an's affirmative answer, Ji Yunkai's suspenseful heart was finally at ease.

Although Xiao Jiu'an took the risk, he had arranged everything personally. Otherwise, she would really be depressed to death.

"Stop trying to be mysterious, I won't be fooled." Ye Cang Qiong's back was facing the tea garden, and he could not see anything. Seeing Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai singing the same tune, his intuition told him that these two must have teamed up to lie to him.

These two people had lied to him more than once, and had also tricked him more than once. He would not be fooled again.

"Villa Master Ye has become smarter." The reinforcements had arrived, and even though Ye Cang Qiong was only five steps away from them, Ji Yunkai still felt at ease.

At least, they had a way out.

"Why does This King want to fight with you?" The Yanbei Army had already surrounded Tranquil Water Tea Garden. It would not be long before someone would discover their location.

"Are you afraid?" Ye Cang Qiong tried to goad Xiao Jiu'an to anger, but Xiao Jiu'an was not some seventeen or eighteen year old youth, so how could he be easily provoked?

No, even when Xiao Jiu'an was seventeen or eighteen years old, he still would not be easily angered. Ever since he was young, he was calmer than kids his age. Colder too.

Xiao Jiu'an did not even bother to give Ye Cang Qiong a glance. He only lightly waved the throwing knives in his hand, silently threatening Ye Cang Qiong and preventing him from making any rash moves.

Ye Cang Qiong originally wanted to launch a surprise attack, but seeing that Xiao Jiu'an had made a move with the throwing knives in his hand, he no longer dared to move, and could only continue to hold it in.

Ji Yunkai saw their actions and could not help but shake her head.

Xiao Jiu'an was really strong, but he was obviously so weak that even she could defeat him, yet he just pretended that he could easily take him down. Relying on two throwing knives, that could not be shot out, he forcefully suppressed Ye Cang Qiong, making him not dare to move.

If Ye Cang Qiong knew the truth in the future, one would not know whether he would be angered to the point of spitting blood or not.

It had to be known that Ye Cang Qiong had missed the best opportunity to assassinate Xiao Jiu'an. If he missed out on today, it would probably not be easy for him to kill Xiao Jiu'an in the future.

Ye Cang Qiong did not dare to move, and Xiao Jiu'an would definitely not take the initiative and attack. The commotion just now was like a flash in the pan, and the two people continued to look each other in the eye. Ji Yunkai stood silently at the side, fearing that a casual movement from her would disrupt this balance.

However, even though Ji Yunkai could control herself, she could not control the actions of others. She could coordinate with Xiao Jiu'an's actions and create pressure for Ye Cang Qiong, making him not dare to act rashly, but others will not.

What Ye Cang Qiong did not know is that Tranquil Water Tea Garden had already been surrounded by the Yanbei Army. The person leading the group probably knew that Xiao Jiu'an was not in the courtyard.

In an instant, the sound of people shouting and the sound of battle rang out. Even though they were quite far away, Ye Cang Qiong still heard it.

"What's going on?" Ye Cang Qiong was shocked and he turned his head to look behind him. When he saw what happened, he was stunned: "How is that possible? How is that possible?" Wasn't the Yanbei Army outside the city controlled by that person? How could they fight their way into Tranquil Water Tea Garden?

It was time!

Xiao Jiu'an's eyes flashed with a cold light, he raised his hand and threw the throwing knives in his hand.

Xiao Jiu'an's strength was not that great, and he could only barely throw the throwing knives out. With this speed, it definitely would not be able to harm Ye Cang Qiong much, but Ye Cang Qiong was still in a state of shock. Seeing Xiao Jiu'an's throwing knives shooting toward him, he instinctively dodged, but unfortunately, his left leg was so heavily injured that he tripped over his own body while dodging.

Ji Yunkai, who was standing at the side, waited for a chance to make her move.

"Ahh!" Ye Cang Qiong screamed as he covered his face with his hands and cried out in pain.

"Come on!" Ji Yunkai pulled Xiao Jiu'an and went back the way they came.

Since reinforcements had come, why would they continue running?

The two of them quickly walked back while Ye Cang Qiong fell to the ground. Ye Cang Qiong, who was rolling in pain, saw the two of them slowly walking further and further away and was infuriated. He jumped up from the ground without caring about the pain on his face, "Xiao Jiu'an, Ji Yunkai, I want your lives!"

Ye Cang Qiong threw himself at Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai like a fish in water, completely disregarding whether or not he would be injured. He only wanted to pull Ji Yunkai and Xiao Jiu'an down.

Ji Yunkai turned her head to look and saw Ye Cang Qiong raising his sword and thrusting toward Xiao Jiu'an. She pushed Xiao Jiu'an away at the first possible moment: "Hurry and get out of the way!" Xiao Jiu'an could not die, if he died, there would be no way for her to live.

"Stupid woman!" Xiao Jiu'an was currently even weaker than Ji Yunkai. After being forcefully pushed by Ji Yunkai, he did not have any strength to resist as he staggered and crashed into a tree.

*Swish.* He stopped in midair and ignored his injured left foot. He landed on one leg and turned back once more, "Prince Yanbei's Wife, since you are so great, I shall help you!"

This sword strike was aimed straight at Ji Yunkai, causing Ji Yunkai to retreat several steps. Although she quick, Ye Cang Qiong's sword was faster. The sword in his hand seemed to have grown eyes as it firmly entangled Ji Yunkai.

Seeing that the sword in Ye Cang Qiong's hand was about to stab into Ji Yunkai's chest, Xiao Jiu'an suddenly rushed over. "Ye Cang Qiong, is This King's consort something that you can touch?"

Xiao Jiu'an stepped forward, and with a move of his shoulder, he slammed into Ye Cang Qiong, causing his sword to be knocked away.

Ji Yunkai narrowly escaped death, but before she could be happy about it, she discovered that there was nothing behind her. Her feet only landed on air and she fell backwards....
