"Yeah, I wonder if Qiyou can handle this situation well~"

As Yue Jiu Nian spoke, she suddenly thought of Qi You and said, "By the way, Qi You and Rou Rou will be back soon. Are you staying or leaving?"

Because Yue Jiu Nian contacted Qing Cheng secretly, Qi You was not very clear about their connection, so Yue Jiu Nian didn't know whether to tell Qi You about Qing Cheng sending troops.

Upon hearing Yue Jiu Nian's words, General Lynx shook his head and said, "It's alright. When I came out, the King didn't say I had to keep it a secret from Qi You. I'll just stay here. He'll find out I'm here sooner or later anyway."

"Alright, since you and Qingcheng both think this way, then I don't need to hide it anymore."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiu Nian allowed General Lynx and the soldiers to stay.

Sure enough, not long after, Qiyou returned with Rourou. However, they didn't look very good when they came back, and they looked very disappointed. It was obvious to everyone that they were in a bad mood.

"Huh? What brings you here? Did Qingcheng send you?"

As soon as Qi You entered the house, he saw General Lynx. He frowned and looked at General Lynx, saying, "Don't tell me you were sent by Qingcheng to persuade me to go back. Let me tell you, I'm not going back."

General Lynx found Qi You's words amusing. He knew Qi You had misunderstood, so he smiled and said, "Chief Qi You, you've misunderstood. Actually, I was sent by the King to assist you, not to persuade you to go back."

"Is this true? You're here to assist me, so has Qingcheng already agreed to send troops for me?"

Qi You was a little excited when he heard what General Lynx said!

“That’s right, the King has indeed agreed to send troops to you,” General Lynx said, unable to resist teasing Qi You when he saw how happy he was. “However, Chief Qi You, although the King has agreed to send troops to you, in order to prevent you from acting impulsively, I will still lead the army.”

"Well, okay, I don't have to bring it. Anyway, you've already done an extra job by coming, so this is fine too."

Although Qi You couldn't lead troops this time, it was still good that Qing Cheng agreed to send troops for him, which made him quite happy.

Seeing how happy Qi You was, Yue Jiu asked, "By the way, did you find anything out today?"

Yue Jiu Nian had already guessed that Qi You probably wasn't having a good day, but she couldn't reveal what she had done, so she pretended not to know anything and asked Qi You for information.

Sure enough, Qi You and Rou Rou immediately became depressed when Yue Jiu Nian asked them about this. Rou Rou shook her head and leaned against Yue Jiu Nian, saying, "Oh dear~ Sister Jiu Nian, we don't want to talk about it today..."

Seeing Rou Rou's sullen expression, Yue Jiu Nian guessed that she was probably very unhappy as well.

Yue Jiu Nian reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "What's wrong? Did something happen to you two?"

"Sigh, this is my own fault. I will never buy assassins from Border City again."

Qi You suddenly said, a little angrily.

"What's going on? How is this related to the assassins from the border city?"

Upon hearing Qi You's complaint, Yue Jiu Nian and General Lynx exchanged a glance, while secretly conveying a message: as expected, the assassins refused to change the time.

Qi You scratched his hair in frustration, saying with a mix of anger and helplessness, "I was planning to kill Tan Lang, so I made two plans. The first was to assassinate him the day he entered the city, and the second was to kill him by assassination if the assassination failed. But since I didn't have enough manpower, I simply went and found some assassins. But I didn't expect Tan Lang's entry into the city to be postponed by a day, so I wanted to ask the assassins to change the time, but they refused!"

"Hey, why did you have to hire those assassins? The assassins in Border City are different from others; their schedules can't be changed, and they get paid the same whether they succeed or not. Why did you have to hire them?"

Yue Jiu Nian pretended to have just learned about this and said to Qi You, "Do you think they are like those assassins outside? Those outside just set a target, and if they succeed, they get money; if they fail, they die. It's not the same as here."

"Hey, I was just thinking I'd make do with this for now."

Qi You also felt a little regretful. He said angrily, "I just went to ask Rou Rou to change the time, and not only were they unwilling, but their attitude was also particularly bad. It really made me angry!"

"Exactly, and they were even eating rabbit right in front of me!"

Rou Rou suddenly shouted, "They are so annoying and awful!"

"Uh, really? So that means getting help from assassins isn't an option?"

General Lynx also spoke up: "Qiyou, did you only pay the deposit and not the full amount yet?"

"Yes, luckily I only paid a deposit, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money, they would not have agreed to refund the money."

Qi You felt that her luck had really run out. She went to find assassins, but not only did they refuse to work, she also lost her deposit.

Seeing Qi You so agitated, Yue Jiu Nian felt a little guilty and remorseful, because if she hadn't intercepted the real information, Qi You wouldn't have lost money. But at the time, she was doing it for Qi You's own good, worried that he would act impulsively.
