Chapter 46 You Can't Have It All
Cisha Mountain.
Gu Nianting's men arrived early and set up ambushes at various places on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain.
A dozen guards escorted Ning Yunxi, Feng Yan and his wife, and followed Gu Nianting to the highest point of Cisha Mountain to look out from the height.
Ning Yunxi was nervous and subconsciously turned her head to glance at the outer circle.
Gu Nianting's intimidation followed immediately.
"I will remind you again, don't try to play tricks."
"Otherwise, I will let you see which is faster, your silver needle or the sword of my guard!"
As he spoke, he pointed with his eyes at the knife that was held on the necks of Feng Yan and his wife.
Feng Wendan was so frightened that he burst into tears.
"Ah... spare me, spare me..."
Feng Yan was also panicked and terrified.
"Please have mercy on me, my Lord. My husband and I have never done anything bad."
"We just want to return to Beijing and reunite with our daughter whom we haven't seen for more than 20 years."
"My daughter has been alone and helpless for twenty-two years. Please have mercy on our family, Your Majesty."
Gu Nianting gave him a ferocious look and continued to threaten him.
"Shut up."
"Didn't I remind you not to cry and alert the enemy?"
"If you don't obey me, I will punish Qiu Bi as well and let your family reunite in the underground!"
Mr. and Mrs. Feng Yan immediately shut up and suppressed their fear.
Ning Yunxi frowned seriously.
"Why scare them?"
"If you have anything to say, just come to me."
Gu Nianting only raised one corner of his mouth and smiled in an extremely cunning manner.
"is it?"
"If you change your mind now and follow me, everything will still be possible."
"Otherwise, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. When King Di Jin arrives and enters the valley, if you want to regret it, I will be unable to help you."
As he spoke, his right hand moved frivolously towards her chin.
Ning Yunxi dodged with a look of disgust.
"If you want to dream, go back to the palace."
"Don't say these words again, it makes me sick."
Gu Nianting's smile froze, and his face quickly darkened into a gloomy one.
"Are you still thinking that King Di Jin can escape unscathed?"
"From now on, will you still be the monarch and his subjects?"
"I know you have a lot on your mind, so I have made every possible preparation this time."
As he spoke, his sharp eyes, like lightning and thunder, suddenly entered Ning Yunxi's sight.
"I will remind you again, don't play tricks, do you hear me?"
Ning Yunxi turned her head away and glanced at him with disdain.
"Don't worry, I don't mean to play tricks on you."
"Whether King Di Jin can escape unscathed depends on your ability, not my methods."
At this point, a guard reported softly: "Your Majesty, Prince Di Jin has appeared."
Gu Nianting took a careful look and then ordered the guards.
"Cover their mouths."
The guard responded and covered the mouths of Feng Yan and his wife.
Ning Yunxi turned her head again and quietly observed the situation in the outer circle.
Normally, before Yan Yu entered the valley, the people from the Supervisory Office should have already ambushed in the outer circle.
But why is there no movement?
Ning Yunxi was shocked.
Brother, didn’t you believe me?
Ugh.
Why doesn't he believe it?
What a great opportunity.
Forget it, now is not the time to sigh and lament.
Think quickly, what will he do?
Don't we need someone to supervise the station? Impossible.
Only the people in charge of the supervision station can guarantee his safety.
Ning Yunxi was thinking hard, and suddenly, an idea came to him.
Could it be that... the people from the Supervisory Office are also in the inner circle? Are they outside the valley, waiting for help?
Yes.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the outer circle to be completely silent.
My brother, this plan is okay, but it has a small flaw.
What if Gu Nianting was suspicious and insisted on sending someone to check outside the valley...
Thinking of this place,
All I heard was Gu Nianting's order: "Go outside the valley and take a look, just in case."
Ning Yunxi's pupils trembled violently.
Gu Nianting continued to give instructions.
“Remember, look carefully.”
“Make sure no one is left out.”
The two guards left in response.
Ning Yunxi was secretly sad.
Gazing from a high place, it was difficult for the guards and supervisors to hide.
What should I do now?
She was thinking of a solution.
Not long after, the two guards returned.
"Reporting to the prince, there are indeed people from the Guardian Station outside the valley."
"There aren't many hidden places in the mountains and forests. According to my estimation, there should be more than 600 people from the Supervisory Office."
"There are also a group of guards hiding in the valley, about a hundred people."
Ning Yunxi looked ashen.
Alas, they were all discovered.
Gu Nianting smiled complacently and looked at Ning Yunxi.
"A promise is worth a thousand gold."
"Yes, you really didn't play tricks."
"Next, I will invite Miss San to watch a good show. I wonder if Miss San will like it?"
Ning Yunxi's unhappiness was clearly written on her face.
"Now that you know my sincerity, can you let me go now?"
Gu Nianting naturally didn't want to.
"Qiu Bi's parents don't want to watch the show together?"
"This play is very exciting, and it won't be delayed."
Ning Yunxi continued to negotiate.
"They are all innocent people, why are you making things difficult for them?"
"Let them go. Didn't you say that you only wanted to deal with King Di Jin?"
Gu Nianting was still worried.
"If you play tricks, how should I respond?"
"I think it's better to wait until the matter is settled before letting you go together."
"Along the way, you can always protect them."
"This arrangement is appropriate."
Ning Yunxi's eyes turned cold.
"If you don't cooperate, then I won't cooperate either."
"I want to see how you plan to defeat the people on the Supervisory Platform and the hundreds of guards without my medical skills?"
"Now that things have come to this, would you be willing to let this end hastily?"
There was a chill in Gu Nianting's brows.
"If you dare not cooperate, I will take their lives!"
Ning Yunxi met his eyes, proud of the frost and snow.
"If you hurt them in the slightest, it will be equivalent to letting King Di Jin escape unscathed."
“You can’t have it both ways.”
"Do you want to deal with King Di Jin, or do you just want to embarrass this ordinary couple?"
Gu Nianting's eyebrows moved slightly.
"But I think you are playing tricks on me."
"If I let you control me, I will gain nothing and all my efforts will be wasted."
Ning Yunxi's face was as calm as a mirror, and she was calm and composed.
"After your plan this time, if it succeeds, your road to power will be smooth sailing; if it fails, it can also alienate King Di Jin and me."
"Prince Di Jin is well versed in medicine. If he pays a little attention, he will know that I did it."
"After this, it will be impossible for you to trust me again."
"Isn't this your ultimate goal?"
"What does Yu Qiubi's parents have to do with it?"
Gu Nianting was successfully persuaded.
"Let go."
Ning Yunxi stretched out his hand to stop them, and then fed each of the two guards a pill.
"Wait a minute."
"To make sure everything goes well, I want two of your trusted guards to escort them back to the capital."
"The method to activate the pill is already in the hands of Qiubi's parents."
"If there is any problem with the escort, your trusted minister will be tortured in every way and die miserably in the end."
"They are all from Channel 8. If something happens to you, you will have a hard time explaining it to Channel 8."
"So please, don't play tricks on me."
Gu Nianting smiled with a hint of depression.
"The third lady's scheming is indeed well-deserved."
As he spoke, he gave orders to his trusted guards.
"Escort them back to the capital safely and hand them over to Qiu Bi."
