After changing his clothes, Yan Yi gestured to Yan An and the other man, and then headed towards Lu Wenyun's cell.
Lu Wenyun, who was lying in the corner shivering, looked up and saw a masked man.
He stood up shakily, his words tinged with agitation.
"Were you sent by Prince Heng to rescue me?"
Yan An, hiding in the distance, felt a wave of embarrassment. [This guy is incredibly stupid; he confessed so quickly.]
Yan Yi drew his knife and with a swift stroke, the lock on the cell door was severed.
It must be said that Yue Xiyuan was bold and meticulous. Most people in Yue Kingdom used swords as weapons, while in Yan Kingdom, most martial artists used knives as weapons.
"Lu Wenyun? Prince Heng sent me to collect your body. Prepare to die."
"Impossible, impossible. Prince Heng would never want to kill me. Prince Heng promised me he would help me. I am Prince Heng's inside man in the Yue Kingdom. Prince Heng would never send you to kill me. Impossible."
Lu Wenyun shook his head, but his body slowly retreated.
"Let me tell you the truth, Prince Heng will not allow a useless person to live in this world. Only the dead can keep secrets. Princess, you must know that. Don't blame me when you get down there."
Yan Yi, wielding the Mad Blade, swung it at Lu Wenyun without hesitation. A sharp and violent blade of light almost struck Lu Wenyun.
Fortunately, Lu Wenyun's martial arts skills were not weak, and moreover, he had already consumed the water from Tianshan Mountain, so his physical strength had already recovered by more than half.
Just as Yan Yi swung his sword, Lu Wenyun dodged instantly.
[You didn't even tell me how many moves Lu Wenyun could actually hold his own.]
Yan Yi could also see that Lu Wenyun was injured, so he controlled his strength and tried to make the cuts only lightly scratch Lu Wenyun's skin within three or four strokes.
Unfortunately, Lu Wenyun's hands were no match for the weapons, and after only a few rounds, he was already struggling.
If you don't come in soon, Lu Wenyun won't be able to hold on.
Yan Yi silently criticized the two of them in his heart.
"If we don't go in now, Lu Wenyun will really fall under Big Brother's blade."
Yan An held it in his right hand, and the Crimson God Whip appeared in his right hand. With a sudden flick, the Crimson God Whip tightly wrapped around the Mad Blade in Yan Yi's hand.
"You dare to break prisoners out of the dungeon in the Moon Kingdom? You've got some nerve. Let me guess who gave you the courage, Fish Leong?"
Yan Yi stared at Yan An in shock, his expression seeming to say, "What are you saying?"
"Hehehe, just kidding. Let me guess, Prince Heng?"
Yan Yi showed no expression, but Lu Wenyun, who was suffering from severe blood loss, was filled with shock.
"Judging from Princess Lu's expression, I guessed right."
Yan Yi thought that since he was going to act, he might as well go all the way.
He swung his right arm, and the large knife in his hand slashed fiercely at Yan An. The strike was fast and ruthless, the blade sharp and whistling.
Yan Yi thought his younger sister would definitely show mercy, but the Regent was ruthless and would naturally target his sister first.
But Yan Yi never imagined that his own sister would be the one to do the cruel thing.
Moreover, in terms of martial arts skills and agility, Yan An is even more skilled than Yue Xiyuan.
Seeing the large sword coming at him, Yan An reacted instinctively by kicking Yan Yi in the chest, sending him flying.
[Damn it, we went too far.]
Yan An looked at Yan Yi apologetically, "I'm sorry, big brother. I'll definitely treat you well when we get back, and I'll find you a good wife."
Yan Yi never expected that his sister's kick would hurt so much, and he pulled out a round object from his pocket.
He threw it in front of him, and instantly thick smoke billowed up, making it impossible to see anything.
As the thick smoke gradually dissipated, Yan Yi also disappeared from the prison.
"They ran away."
"It's nothing. I'll just go back and inform Yan Shaoheng."
Yan An and Yue Xiyuan looked at Lu Wenyun lying on the ground, his arms covered with wounds of various sizes.
Looks like my brother didn't hold back much this time.
Lu Wenyun's wounds were all small ones that didn't bleed much, but were still extremely painful.
Let me bandage you up.
Why did you save me?
"Of course, it's for your secret with Yan Shaoheng."
"You really don't tell a single lie."
"Why lie? I can afford the price of telling the truth."
"Now I understand why the Regent has always chosen you."
"Alright, Yue Xiyuan and I made a mutual choice. I am not dependent on him, and he is not dependent on me. We are both independent."
"No, I have always depended on you, and I am willing to depend on you."
Yue Xiyuan stood there, incredibly gentle, with clear eyes and a slight smile on his lips.
"Thank you for saving me, but I still can't tell you. Anyway, I'm going to die, so I'm willing to die at your hands."
"Really? You really think you can die so easily?"
"What do you mean?"
"I feel incredibly itchy all over, and nothing I do can relieve it. I've even developed some red rashes."
Lu Wenyun stared blankly at Yan An, then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Yan An's wrist, his voice tight.
"What did you do to me? What did you do?"
"This poison is called Seven-Day Itch. It takes forty-nine days to take effect after being poisoned. You will itch for seven days every month. During these seven days, you will be extremely itchy. You will scratch and rub until your skin ulcerates, but you still cannot get relief."
"Enough! I thought you were a rare and extraordinary woman, but I never expected you to be so despicable."
“I’ve already told you, I have a hundred ways to get you to talk. Besides, I’ve also guessed pretty much everything about your cooperation with Yan Shaoheng.”
"Not you? Impossible, no one but you would frame me like this."
"Oh my god, how could you be so stupid? I told you it wouldn't flare up for forty-nine days. Did I even see you then?"
It was only then that Lu Wenyun realized that it was true. He had only been in Yue Kingdom for a few days, and before that, he had never seen Yan An.
Yan An was exasperated by her inability to process what she was thinking. She took out a pen and paper from her storage space and placed them aside.
"Once you've figured it out, write down everything you know, and someone will come to collect it. I'll come back to detoxify you afterward."
"You can cure the poison? Why should I believe you?"
"Do you have anyone else you can trust now?"
Yan An didn't want to say another word to her anymore; it was as if she would insist on saying something else when you said something else.
Yan An and Yue Xiyuan left the dungeon, and Yan An sighed all the way.
"As expected of you, this princess of Lu Kingdom can be called a foolish beauty. She can fool such a clumsy acting. No one else could do it."
"The dungeon in Yue Kingdom is so big, how could a mere assassin from Yan Kingdom break in? If you ask me, this princess from Lu Kingdom is beyond saving."
Yan Yi, who had been waiting for the two of them, clutched his chest and complained about Lu Wenyun.
