Chapter 48 A critical moment
Seeing Yan Yu gradually losing, Ning Yunxi tried his best to remain calm and think of a clever idea.
"I guess I can go now?"
Gu Nianting was naturally suspicious.
"Why are you leaving suddenly?"
"When this is over, I will personally take you back home, isn't that good?"
Ning Yunxi concealed her inner fear and smiled calmly.
"I don't want to get into trouble if this fails."
Gu Nianting pointed out the problem.
"You just said that King Di Jin could see that you took action."
"And now you're thinking you can get away with it?"
"You don't want to ask for help?"
Ning Yunxi stopped smiling and responded calmly.
"Help?"
"Who to save?"
"King Dijin?"
"There's already a grudge between me and him. Even if I save him, he won't believe me."
"Why should I risk asking for help? What if I anger the future ruler of the world? Wouldn't that be a loss of both hands?"
Gu Nianting still couldn't understand her.
"What is your intention?"
Ning Yunxi consciously avoided looking at Yan Yu's condition, and tried her best not to show any worry.
"I just don't want to be criticized by the world."
"What if your traces are not wiped clean and someone finds out?"
"Even if you hold great power, it is inevitable that people will criticize you for abandoning the Yan clan."
"You know, my family members care most about their reputation."
"For their sake, I don't want to cause any trouble."
At this point, she turned her head and looked back calmly.
Seeing Yan Yu was seriously injured, she unconsciously clenched her hands into fists.
On the surface, he remained nonchalant and unmoved.
"He's already injured like this, and you're still worried?"
"I did everything you asked me to do."
"Is your so-called favor meant to deliberately make things difficult for me?"
Only then did Gu Nianting withdraw his hand.
"Everyone is not allowed to stop us, treat us with respect and see Miss Ning San off."
Ning Yunxi gave a final smile.
Then he turned around, pretended to be walking leisurely, and left slowly.
As soon as she walked out of their sight, Ning Yunxi burst into tears and ran towards Gao Jing like crazy.
Gao Jing and the others were indeed lying peacefully, not asleep, but they didn't know that the effect of the medicine had worn off.
"Why didn't anyone from the Supervisory Office pass by?"
"Maybe he took a detour to save the prince."
"It's almost time, why hasn't the prince come back yet?"
They were talking about
Ning Yunxi came running over, already crying bitterly.
"The effect of your medicine has long worn off!"
"Go save my brother!"
"Quick!"
"Otherwise it will be too late!"
The people at the supervision station discovered that the effect of the medicine had expired before them, and arrived late.
"We were all unconscious."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Is your lord okay?"
Gao Jing was horrified, stood up hurriedly and gave an order.
"Go and save the prince!"
Everyone rushed into the valley together.
Ning Yunxi followed closely behind and ran over.
When they arrived,
Gu Nianting had become too proud of himself and went into battle himself, completely abandoning his guard.
Under the sunlight, the sword glowed coldly and the blade was sharp. Gu Nianting moved forward forcefully, pointing directly at Yan Yu's heart.
For a moment, sword energy flew across the sky, as if it could cut everything apart.
The last blow was fatal enough.
Yan Yu was seriously injured and unable to resist. Looking around, he saw no way to retreat.
Ning Yunxi was horrified and ran while screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Brother!"
Gao Jing arrived quickly, leaped lightly, drew his sword, and narrowly blocked Gu Nianting's sword two inches from Yu Yanyu's heart.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Nianting immediately gave orders.
"It's a big bad thing."
"withdraw!"
Gu Nianting made thorough preparations for the retreat plan. Not only did he evacuate quickly, but he also erased all traces of the assassination along the way.
Yan Yu was seriously injured and unstable, and he almost fell to the ground.
Gao Jing quickly reached out to help.
"Be careful, my lord."
Ning Yunxi didn't even have time to catch her breath and ran straight to Yan Yu.
"Brother, are you okay?"
As he said this, he also reached out to help.
Yan Yu responded coldly and dodged her hand without any emotion.
"You're amazing. I almost died."
Ning Yunxi wanted to explain.
"I wrote a letter, I..."
Yan Yu interrupted her directly.
"Let me ask you, are you familiar with Qiu Bi's parents?"
Ning Yunxi lowered her head in panic, at a loss as to what to do.
"Not very familiar..."
Yan Yu sneered.
"Do Qiubi's parents know you?"
Ning Yunxi kept crying and was at a loss.
"do not know."
"But they..."
Yan Yu interrupted again in anger.
"Okay, okay!"
"You're going to kill me for two strangers!"
Ning Yunxi shook her head repeatedly and cried with tears streaming down her face.
"No, I just want to help Qiu Bi..."
Yan Yu simply didn't listen to her and roared with all his strength.
"Didn't you say that we are sworn brothers?"
"What is your relationship with Qiu Bi?"
"Why should I use my life to exchange for her parents' safety?"
"Is this what you said, eternal life and eternal loyalty?"
Ning Yunxi knelt down heavily, kowtowed repeatedly with tears streaming down her face.
"Brother, I'm sorry!"
"I didn't betray my loyalty. I tried my best. I really tried my best."
"I know I am useless. Even if I try my best, I still can't save my brother."
"I just beg you to calm down and let me treat your wounds first, okay?"
"Brother, I beg you..."
Yan Yu shed two tears inadvertently.
"Don't call me brother."
"I never remember us ever becoming sworn brothers."
"From now on, you and I will go our separate ways. Don't come to me again."
"Gao Jing."
Gao Jing was stunned when he heard this. He took a moment to react before quickly responding.
"My subordinate is here."
Yan Yu felt her tears and was secretly shocked.
His face was still cold and heartless.
"Ning Yunxi is not allowed to treat my injuries."
"let her go."
Gao Jing nodded.
"Yes, I obey."
Yan Yu finally ran out of strength. With Gao Jing supporting him on one side and holding his sword on the other, he was able to stand up.
"Go home."
Gao Jing supported him and walked out of the valley.
Ning Yunxi wanted to follow, but was stopped by the guards.
"Miss Ning San, please take another route."
"Take a detour."
Ning Yunxi had no choice but to stop and stand there.
Yan Yu turned around and whispered to Gao Jing.
"Send a team of elite soldiers to follow quietly and escort her back to the palace."
Gao Jing looked confused.
"what?"
"Yes."
Just like that, Ning Yunxi could only watch them go farther and farther away, get on the carriage, and completely disappear from her sight.
the other side,
Gu Nianting discovered the outer terrain of Cisha Mountain and was slightly surprised and a little scared.
"Fortunately, this king kept a close eye on Ning Yunxi."
"She would pass by Cisha Mountain when she went to the house where Qiubi's parents lived."
"With her wisdom, she will definitely survey the terrain in time, find this flaw, and find a way to inform King Dijin."
After hearing this, he finally realized it.
"Could it be that she successfully sent the message, but King Di Jin was suspicious and deliberately ignored it?"
The guard responded.
"We have a limited number of people."
"Even if we discovered the flaw in the outer circle at that time, we couldn't set up an ambush."
Gu Nianting glanced at him.
"This king knows."
"Fortunately, King Dijin is suspicious, otherwise, I would have been surrounded by the people from the Supervisory Office."
"If they call in Yin Sitai's people in time, or other people who can testify, then the crime of the prince murdering the emperor's uncle and plotting to usurp the throne will be irrefutable."
As he spoke, he looked out into the distance at the outer circle and came up with an idea.
"Get a team of people to go to the outer circle and do something to make it look like there was an ambush."
"What if King Dijin sends someone to check and finds traces of an ambush?"
"Then the rift between them will become even deeper!"
