Chapter 47: False Flattery
Ning Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief after watching Feng Yan and his wife leave.
Gu Nianting urged immediately.
"Now, can you start?"
"If we don't act now, we will miss the opportunity."
Ning Yunxi turned around and looked at Yan Yu in the valley with worry.
"Ah."
"Should I go by myself, or do you want to send someone to follow me?"
Gu Nianting was unhappy.
"You still want to go by yourself?"
"I've already told you to stop worrying about this."
"It has come to this. There is no point in you resisting."
"Someone, follow her and keep a close eye on her!"
The six guards followed Ning Yunxi and went down the mountain in silence.
According to the plan, Ning Yunxi knocked down Yan Yu's guards first.
Then, he went around the valley, took out a glass bottle filled with gas from the medical space, pulled out the stopper, and released the gas.
It was estimated that within half a quarter of an hour, all the people at the guard post fell into coma without realizing it.
Ning Yunxi and six guards took the antidote in advance, so they were safe.
She still put some thought into it.
Quietly reduced the dosage.
That's what she thought.
Taking medicine is inevitable.
After all, now, my brother and she are both in Gu Nianting's hands.
If Gu Nianting had not seen the guards and the people from the Supervisory Office being knocked down, he would have very likely used the emperor to control the princes.
By then, they will be very passive.
So she had to knock them down to relax Gu Nianting's defense, so that he could move into the valley with peace of mind.
When Gu Nianting concentrates on dealing with his brother, Gao Jing, the Guardian and others will quietly approach and catch him off guard and win.
Ning Yunxi calculated the time accurately.
Even if Gao Jing and others acted a little slower, Yan Yu would not be in danger.
Everything, step by step...
The guard followed Ning Yunxi all the way back to Gu Nianting.
"My Lord, it's done."
Gu Nianting responded and then gave orders.
"Inside the valley, there is only King Dijin."
"Although he is proficient in medicine, his martial arts skills are very average."
"You don't need to send everyone to deal with him. Only twenty guards are needed."
"The rest of you, stay here and watch."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ning Yunxi with a defensive look in his eyes.
"What if someone plays some tricks to catch us off guard?"
"You must keep a close eye on me!"
Ning Yunxi smiled calmly.
"What my cousin said makes a lot of sense."
"To deal with King Di Jin, just be on high ground and shoot arrows at him at random."
"Twenty people are enough."
Gu Nianting couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"The thing you used to knock them down, King Dijin also has it?"
"That thing, I just saw it."
"Even if you are high up, it is difficult to avoid as long as the dosage is sufficient."
"Where's the antidote?"
"take it out."
Ning Yunxi glanced leisurely.
"Run out."
Gu Nianting's eyes darkened.
"search."
A female guard responded and began to search me, but it was obvious that they found nothing but empty bottles.
Gu Nianting had no choice but to change his plan temporarily.
"Everyone, hide in different places in the valley in batches."
"Remember, you must keep enough distance."
"If one group is knocked down, wait for the drug effect to evaporate for a while, and then another group will follow."
"I don't believe that he has an endless supply."
The guard asked respectfully.
"My Lord, are you still using bows and arrows?"
"It may be safer to deal with King Di Jin from a distance."
Gu Nianting looked at Ning Yunxi, thinking about her suggestion of firing arrows at once, and immediately came up with an idea.
"The retreat plan must erase all traces. We must leave a way out and make sure it is foolproof."
"The marks of the bow and arrow are difficult to erase, and it is easy to miss them."
"No need for bows and arrows."
The guard suggested tentatively.
"What about fire attack?"
Gu Nianting was immediately furious.
"Aren't the traces of fire attack more obvious?"
"Fool!"
"Just a sword."
"King Di Jin's martial arts skills are very average. Attacking him at close range will just hit his weak spot."
Ning Yunxi spoke vaguely and implicitly.
"Let's leave most of the people here to watch."
"Otherwise, how will you deal with my little actions?"
"With more than a hundred guards and more than 600 people from the Supervisory Office, if we really catch them off guard, are you sure you won't be captured alive?"
"A penny earned is a pound lost, and the gain is not worth the loss."
Gu Nianting raised his eyes, full of suspicion.
"You want to help King Di Jin and get rid of most of the crises."
"I will never be deceived."
Ning Yunxi was calm and composed.
"it's not true."
"I just thought that my cousin will soon become the ruler of the world, so I tried to please him in advance."
"Although I don't want to be your counselor, I would like to be a flatterer. Is that not okay?"
Gu Nianting couldn't see through her and felt depressed.
"Leave two people to observe from a high place. If there is any unusual movement, notify the king immediately."
Ning Yunxi smiled secretly.
Just what she wanted!
Then,
They moved into the valley.
Before leaving, the two silver needles in Ning Yunxi's hand quietly slipped out from her wide sleeves.
She easily knocked down the two guards.
within the valley,
Yan Yu has been waiting for a long time.
Seeing him all alone, like a lamb to be slaughtered, Gu Nianting was delighted and gave an order with great satisfaction.
"Do it."
The first group of guards rushed forward in an orderly manner.
Yan Yu had expected this and was not surprised.
He has a medical space, so dealing with them is no problem at all.
Only the medicines in the medical space are refreshed every morning.
If you run out of resources before refreshing and replenishing them, you will have to find another way.
Ning Yunxi thought about the amount of medicine and calculated the time it would take Gao Jing and the others to wake up and rush here.
No matter how many times I counted it, there was no problem.
Thus, the look of worry gradually turned into one of ease.
Gu Nianting looked around proudly and took the initiative to talk.
"I remember that you were very infatuated with me before."
"Even if the king neglects you and cares about Shan'er, you will never leave him."
"Now, why did you suddenly change your temperament?"
Ning Yunxi smiled calmly and began to make sarcastic remarks.
"I acted in it."
"In order to have the fire in Prince Chen's mansion and to destroy you, I deliberately exaggerated the incident for more than a year to conceal the real purpose."
"how?"
"Did I trick you?"
Gu Nianting gritted his teeth secretly.
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to be a flatterer?"
Ning Yunxi nodded in response and bowed.
"Yes, I was going to apologize."
"Your Highness, I am truly sorry."
Gu Nianting's face darkened and he looked extremely unhappy.
"You are a person with too deep thoughts."
"It's just a pity that I can't work for this king."
"This king really values talent."
"After today's matter is done, you should think about it carefully."
"The favor I give you will never be inferior to that given by King Di Jin."
Ning Yunxi didn't respond.
Turning around, I saw no movement in Gao Jing's direction.
She couldn't help wondering,
what happened?
What about people?
I changed my mind and was secretly shocked.
Could it be that they didn't realize that the effect of the medicine had worn off?
Or, fell asleep?
There were hundreds of people, and no one reacted?
Ning Yunxi was panicked and subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to save Yan Yu.
Gu Nianting noticed it immediately and stopped him: "What are you doing? Are you heartbroken?"
