"Ding Hua, don't mind the trash talking coming from that person. It's not worth your time and might even pollute our ears."Ding Hua finally relented. He gave An Xue Tang a slight nod, indicating that...This night was destined to be extraordinary. Zhao Yan's plan went off flawlessly.

An hour later, Zhao Yan and his party finally managed to escape from Beijang City and set off on the road back to Xuan Guo.

Zhao Yan's people had everything ready outside Beijiang City, including all the carriages.

After Zhao Yan and his group escaped, a crowd mounted their horses and carriages, immediately leaving this place of turmoil.

Zhao Yan in the carriage listened to the people beside him reporting everything about the Xuan Kingdom.

Once again confirming that his father truly hadn't sent anyone to rescue him and Xiao Ba, Zhao Yan's lingering paternal affection vanished completely.

He was silent for a while, then looked at the person beside him, his cold voice carrying an undeniable firmness:

"Once you enter the border of Xuan Kingdom, take two people to find your grandfather. Tell him that I've come to understand. As he said, to protect those I love, I must also take that position. I will cooperate with him."

As soon as Zhao Yan said this, the people around him instantly widened their eyes, afraid that Zhao Yan would suddenly go back on his word, and quickly replied, "Yes!"

No one knows what kind of raging fire burned in the hearts of those few people when they heard Zhao Yan utter such words.

As Zhao Yan's close confidants, they had seen his abilities firsthand. Among all the princes, none could match Zhao Yan in terms of intellect.

From the moment they followed Zhao Yan, they naturally all hoped that he would ascend to the supreme position. However, Zhao Yan simply scoffed at this idea.

Zhao Yan had always wanted to be a carefree prince. As long as his mother, younger sister, and extended family were well, he didn't care about the throne and was unwilling to participate in the power struggle.

Although he has never sought power, many have wanted him dead over the years. This is because Zhao Yan's maternal grandfather holds military power, making him a target for those princes who want to eliminate him by any means necessary.

Now Zhao Yan finally understood, they all felt happy, and they would be full of hope when doing things in the future!

Zhao Yan didn't know that one of his decisions would make his confidant so overjoyed, he just saw his father emperor.

He had always believed that he wouldn't vie for power, and it didn't matter to him who ultimately took the throne. All he wanted was to sincerely petition his father for a fiefdom during his reign.

When the emperor's father passed away one day, he brought his mother concubine and sister to his fiefdom to live a good life. Even if the person who took over the throne couldn't tolerate his maternal grandfather's family and wanted his maternal grandfather to hand over military power, then he could take his maternal grandfather's family to his fiefdom. No matter what, their lives wouldn't be worse than they are now.

He readily agreed to his father's request to go to Beijang and stabilize Mo Yunchen because his father promised that as long as he returned safely, he would grant him land and allow him to take his mother and Xiao Ba away from the center of power.

He just reported that his father never intended to give him a fiefdom. In fact, his father even tried to take back the military power from his maternal grandfather right now.

He and Xiao Ba were still in Bei Jiang, still facing danger. But his father didn't care about their lives or deaths at all. Not only that, he even wanted them to die in Bei Jiang. That way, he could accuse them of treason and force their grandfather to hand over military power.

His father emperor was indeed a cunning one, it's a pity that he and Xiao Ba can't die.

Not only would he not die, but this time, even if it was for his mother and Xiao Ba, he had to fight for it. And he could only succeed, he couldn't fail. If he failed, everyone around him would be in danger!

……

Zhao Yuer still didn't know that her life in Xuan Kingdom would undergo earth-shattering changes after this trip. At this moment, she sat in the carriage, took out the jade pendant from her waist and examined it carefully.

This jade pendant was given to her by Mo Junyi. She didn't know if they would ever have a chance to meet again after this parting.

The maidservant, seeing Zhao Yuer's furrowed brows, said with a hint of worry, "Princess, is the bumpy carriage making you feel unwell"

Zhao Yu'er came back to her senses, she shook her head and immediately put away the jade pendant, "This princess is not so delicate, this bump is nothing, alright, don't worry about me, just sleep for a while."

"Oh."

The maidservant pursed her lips and, seeing Zhao Yuer close her eyes to rest, she slowly closed hers as well.

After all that work last night, I'm pretty tired.

……

At the same time, Mo Junyi in Bei Jiangying couldn't sleep either. He kept waiting for Lei Hong to scout for news until after daybreak, when Lei Hong rushed back.

Lei Hong's face was still lit with an uncontainable smile. She leaned close to Mo Jun Yi and whispered, "Master, good news, I heard the prince's voice raised in anger. It seems that the Fourth Prince and Eighth Princess of Xuan Country escaped from Bei Jiang City last night."

Hearing this, Mo Junyi finally let out a sigh of relief and curled his lips. "That's good. Since they've escaped, they should be fine. From now on, there's no need to inquire further."

"Yes."

Mo Junyi and Lei Hong hadn't rested for a moment when Liu Cheng arrived. He cast a thoughtful glance at Mo Junyi and sighed, "Young Master, you know Xiao Ba's plan, don't you"

Mo Junyi blinked and feigned ignorance, "What do you mean by that, Doctor Liu"

Liu Cheng shook his head. Mo Junyi had made up his mind to play dumb, and he couldn't help it, so he could only sigh, "Now that the fourth prince and Xiao Ba have left, this old man is afraid that Your Highness will vent his anger on the young master."

Mo Junyi shrugged indifferently and said, "Doctor Liu, this prince's wound has scabbed over. We can continue researching that weapon. Let's go."

Liu Cheng took a deep look at Mo Junyi and finally nodded.

If Yunrui Shi returns, Mo Junyi's life will probably be in danger...

Actually, he himself didn't know what he was thinking. After all, he had spent some time with the child in front of him, and he had complex feelings about him. But if he let the child leave, he didn't seem to be able to do it.

After all, he had personally witnessed Yun Rui's tragic state. Deep down, he also hoped that in this war, Yun Rui could laugh last.

Therefore, he hoped more that Mo Junyi would hand over the formula for that secret weapon.

If Mo Junyi continues to play tricks like this, given his understanding of Yun Ruishi, when Yun Ruishi returns to this Beijiang camp, he will not tolerate Mo Junyi's survival.

So now he actually hopes that Mo Junyi can immediately hand over the formula. He might be able to help him and Lei Hong leave Beijiang Camp. As long as Mo Junyi leaves here, with Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang's people protecting him, he won't die here.

It's a pity... this child is too much like Mo Yunjing in temperament. His stubborn nature, his refusal to yield even in death, leaves him with no way out.

It seems like we'll just have to take it one step at a time and see what happens.d in time.It was the guild master who saved his life and gave him a place to stay.Of course, the valley master never demanded that he repay his life-saving grace by following him for life. The valley...
