Chen Yan
Chapter 266 A Pair of Mandarin Ducks Dead Together
At that time, Yu Qingwu had been waiting inside for a long time.
Seeing Xie Jin Yan enter, she immediately put down the teacup in her hand, slowly raised her head, and asked him, "Your Highness, did you get it?"
"Yes, of course, I got it."
"That Bai Chen is indeed very tight-lipped. Even in this situation, he still tried to resist, repeatedly trying to guide me elsewhere."
"Speaking of which, Senior Sister, you usually seem upright, how could you come up with such a low-down trick now?"
Xie Jin Yan was not wronging her at all. He didn't contribute at all to the idea of feeding Bai Chen an animal aphrodisiac and throwing him into the pigsty. It was all Yu Qingwu's idea.
He was shocked when he heard her suggestion at the time.
You know, although this Senior Sister of his is ruthless and never suffers losses.
She used to be full of bad ideas in the sect, but she had never really done anything truly despicable. If she did, it was always for retaliation.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative and come up with such a bad idea.
Xie Jin Yan smiled and casually placed the blueprint, still stained with the fragrance of ink, on the wooden table in the room.
Looking at Yu Qingwu, his eyes revealed a hint of teasing.
Seeing his expression, Yu Qingwu glared at him unhappily.
Then she took the map, lowered her eyes, carefully examined it, and asked him.
"Your Highness, are there any mistakes in this map? Is Bai Chen playing any tricks?"
"He wants to, but he doesn't dare."
"However..."
Speaking of this, Xie Jin Yan paused slightly.
He frowned and said, "However, Bai Chen is the leader of the Bai Yue Society after all. Even if he's just a small fry in Nan Yue, he's still in the most important stronghold in Yunzhou. Now that he's disappeared out of thin air, others can't possibly not notice."
"Therefore, we must act as soon as possible before the other spies notice."
"There's also one more thing. Although this Bai Chen was also carefully lured here by us, I always feel that something is strange."
As Xie Jin Yan spoke, he leaned forward and sat opposite Yu Qingwu, then reached out and took the map from her hand.
He scanned every stroke and line on it with a blank expression, and finally raised his head again, reopened his mouth, and asked Yu Qingwu in a deep voice, "A'wu, don't you think Bai Chen came too easily?"
How could it be just too easy?
It was simply like catching fish in a pond.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingwu couldn't help but sigh, raised her eyes and replied, "Your Highness, I think we need to be quick, but you can't take action for the time being."
"Even if you do, you should find a substitute."
"I'm not worried that Bai Chen will play tricks. I'm just afraid that he's being played by the people behind him without him even knowing it. Although we have now completely disintegrated the Yunzhou people's respect for the Bai Yue Society."
"But... even if they only have a small part of their forces left, they have been entrenched in Wei for so long, they must not be ordinary people, and they can't be easily caught in our simple trap. Our plan can deal with Bai Chen."
"But it may not be able to deal with the people behind him."
"As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. The reason why we were able to easily deceive Bai Chen was because we were in the dark and he was in the light. But now, we don't know who is behind him."
Yes, who is behind Bai Chen? We still haven't been able to find out.
Although most of the Bai Yue Society's defenses and forces in the city have been grasped.
But who knows if there are any ambushes behind this?
Thinking of this, Xie Jin Yan couldn't help but frown.
He had spoken so simply and boldly in front of Bai Chen just now, but it was still a bit of a headache to actually implement it.
Especially... Qingwu is still by his side at the moment, and now they are still quite high-profile, and those people might attack her.
If he fails to rescue Xie Qiyun and the others, he might put Qingwu in danger.
There is hope in the world, but not everything is foolproof.
Thinking about it, Xie Jin Yan's expression became more and more solemn.
After listening to Qingwu's words, he did not answer, but frowned and silently looked at the map that had not completely dried.
After a moment, he pursed his lips and looked at her.
Meeting her peaceful and calm gaze, he couldn't help but feel at ease, but also a little uneasy.
"A'wu, why don't you leave Yunzhou first? It's very easy to take the opportunity to go out while it's chaotic."
Leave?
What does he mean?
Is he going to face it alone again?
Or is he afraid that she will become a weakness for others to threaten him?
But that's also true. It was fine before. It was difficult to get out at that time, and even if she did, she might not be able to help him.
But now, if he really wants to rescue Xie Qiyun and the others, if he really wants to completely destroy the Bai Yue Society's lair, a hard battle is inevitable.
If there are three or five people, or even ten or so people, she can still protect herself with poisonous insects.
But if there are hundreds of people, it's hard to say.
What's more, there are many people in Yunzhou City, and innocent people will inevitably be attacked.
Therefore, perhaps leaving the city temporarily is the best option.
If something goes wrong with Xie Jin Yan in the city, she can still bring some people to encircle them from the outside. It's better than having people who are not familiar with the terrain come to rescue him.
Therefore, unlike before, Yu Qingwu did not refuse this time.
Looking at each other, silently staring at Xie Jin Yan for a moment, she nodded slightly, with a hint of worry and heaviness, and softly replied, "Okay, let Bai Chen draw three or five more copies of the map later, and I'll take them out of the city. First, if Bai Chen's drawings are inconsistent with the previous ones, it means there may be fraud in it. Second, if something goes wrong with you inside, if I bring people to rescue you, the chances of winning will be greater."
As Yu Qingwu spoke, she took the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the table again.
Just as she was about to get up, she raised her eyes and saw Xie Jin Yan gazing at her with a smile, his eyes filled with endless affection and gentle, reluctant smile.
Although they had been lying in the same bed for nearly a year, Yu Qingwu still felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Xie Jin Yan like this at this moment.
Especially, they rarely spent time together like this.
Xie Jin Yan's gentle and cheesy gaze made her whole body tingle with goosebumps.
After looking at each other for a moment, Yu Qingwu coughed lightly and broke the silence somewhat awkwardly, "Your Highness, what are you... what are you looking at me like that for?"
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to agree so readily."
His eyes were filled with a smile, and he glanced at her deeply, and said with a bit of teasing, "I thought you would be like you were a few days ago, refusing to leave no matter what, crying and thinking of being a pair of lovebirds in death with me."
