Ji Mingwei was shocked to learn that a mentally challenged man had suddenly become intelligent after being in her care for several days, despite his poor living conditions and lack of food, clothing, and shelter. He even recognized his mother and managed to escape by evading layers of guards.

For a moment, she found it hard to accept the result, as if she had seen a ghost.

But no matter how hard it is to accept, it is already a fait accompli.

So, while Ye Qingxue and Xiaobao were hugging and crying, she quickly ordered her men to surround the entire cave.

Even if Xiao Bao escapes, so what? Just trap the mother and child here and then kill them!

The entire Lock Dragon Dock is filled with her people. How could Ye Qingxue possibly escape with the child?

She only brought twenty people with her tonight, including Madam Wan and her two children, which means that there are actually only seventeen people protecting Ye Qingxue.

Although Ye Qingxue had a hundred men hiding in the shadows behind her, they were all on the other side of the lake. By the time those men successfully rushed over, her men had already killed Ye Qingxue.

Dong Bai, holding a long sword, quickly stood guard beside Ye Qingxue. Bai Qi also came over and protected Ye Qingxue and Xiao Bao behind him.

Madam Wan, with her two children, shrank back into the crowd until her backs were pressed against the cave wall. The dampness emanating from the cave wall was unbearable.

Ye Qingxue finally snapped out of her reverie, realizing that she had been so engrossed in the world that she had completely forgotten where she was.

She wiped away Xiao Bao's tears, then dried her own, and slowly but firmly stood up, looking at Ji Mingwei opposite her.

Ji Mingwei narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with a chilling, murderous light: "If your child had remained an idiot, I might have spared his life, but now it seems I can't!"

Ye Qingxue, holding Xiaobao's hand, sneered, "You want to kill us here? I'm afraid you won't have the chance!"

Ji Mingwei's temples throbbed with veins, she didn't believe Ye Qingxue's words at all, but suddenly Ye Qingxue came in from outside, looking anxious.

"Princess Xuan, something terrible has happened! We're surrounded!"

Ji Mingwei was shocked. How could they be surrounded? Wasn't Ye Qingxue only followed by a hundred people? Moreover, when Ye Qingxue boarded the ship, she had already secretly sent people to deal with those hundred people!

However, his men were sweating profusely and extremely nervous, saying, "Those people are emerging from the water one by one, or hanging down from the cliffs, densely packed... We are really surrounded, Princess Xuan!"

Emerging from the water, hanging down from the other side of the cliff... Ji Mingwei's lips trembled several times. This is impossible!

This lake is usually shrouded in thick fog, making it difficult to discern directions, let alone at night! Besides, that cliff is so high, how could they possibly lower it down!

Furthermore, their people had received information that most of the Crown Prince's forces had gone to Tieya Pass with Yun Zhuo, and Ye Qingxue's side didn't have many people at all!

However, she heard commotion outside: the splashing sound of someone breaking through the water on the calm lake, the sound of arrows being fired, and the sounds of fighting.

Ye Qingxue's men have truly stormed into Suolongwu!

Ji Mingwei looked at Ye Qingxue in disbelief. How could this be!

Ye Qingxue said coldly, "The hundred people who secretly followed me were deliberately discovered by you by the Crown Prince and me!"

"Furthermore, my child and I are both in Suolongwu. It seems that most of the Crown Prince's power is with the Crown Prince, but in reality, the Crown Prince's hidden power is all with me!"

“You would never guess that my husband, Xiaobao’s father, would always prioritize protecting us, his wife and son, no matter what danger we face.”

Emerging from the water were the secret guards that Yun Zhuo had secretly trained, who were most skilled in water escape techniques. Yun Zhuo had given these people to her.

Bai Qi will guide them through the water.

Bai Qi had already set off with them before she boarded the ship.

The group of guards who were lowered down from the cliff were trained by Jiang Youqin by Yun Zhuo three years ago. They were most skilled at scaling walls and leaping across rooftops, and now Yun Zhuo was using them.

However, since Xiao Bao's fate was unknown and he had fallen into Ji Mingwei's hands, she was under Ji Mingwei's control, and the situation was very unfavorable for them. That's why those people had been hiding in the shadows and not moving.

When Bai Qi rescued Xiao Bao and rushed here, someone had already secretly sent out a signal to notify the guards to quickly emerge from the water and be lowered down from the cliff!

The wind direction has completely changed!

Ji Mingwei was still shaking her head frantically, "No, I don't believe it! What are you all standing there for? Capture Ye Qingxue! Whoever successfully cuts off Ye Qingxue's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces!"

She and Yun Xun split up; Yun Xun went into the palace to deal with the emperor and Yun Zhuo, while she stayed here to kill Ye Qingxue.

Therefore, whether or not they can kill Ye Qingxue is crucial to their actions tonight and their future endeavors.

She would never allow Ye Qingxue to escape from Suolongwu; tonight, Ye Qingxue must die here.

As soon as Ji Mingwei shouted the order, all the guards surrounding the cave rushed towards Ye Qingxue.

Previously, Ye Qingxue was controlled by Ji Mingwei because of Xiaobao, and only seven or eight people were able to come in with her, while the remaining ten guarded the cave entrance.

The area around the cave was filled with Ji Mingwei's men, so Ye Qingxue was immediately surrounded.

She scooped up Xiao Bao and placed him on Bai Qi's back: "Bai Qi, you must protect the young master. If anything happens to him, you won't be eating meat for three years!"

Seeing this, Yunxiang'er thrust her sword at Xiaobao. Bai Qi let out a "roar," opened his mouth wide, and bit Yunxiang'er's sword. With a forceful swing, Yunxiang'er was no match for him, and the sword slipped from her hand. Bai Qi threw it away!
