As expected, people are extremely interested in rumors without basis. After two days of fermentation, the story of Prince An's rebellion for love had spread throughout Yunzhou City and the surrounding towns.
Yan Wan and Jing Xi sat in the lobby of the inn, listening to the surrounding discussions with satisfaction. Yan Wan nodded in satisfaction, wondering what expression Prince An would have after hearing it.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Jing Xi asked with a proud look on her face.
"That's really great, the effect is absolutely amazing." Yan Wan gave Jing Xi a big thumbs up.
"Of course, I can handle everything." Jing Xi proudly raised her head, clearly pleased with herself.
"Now everything is ready, except for the east wind. We'll wait for the perfect moment tomorrow for the timely rain to fall," Yan Wan said softly.
"Yes, Wan'er, it's up to you tomorrow," Jing Xi said with a smile.

"Interesting, truly interesting. I never expected there to be such interesting people in Yunzhou City." Meng Shang stood on the second floor, watching with a smile as two women of very different styles discussed matters below.
Unexpectedly, it was two women who were in control of public opinion and used it to attack Jimo An. I wonder if he will be furious when he finds out.
"Zhu Feng, go and find out who those two women down there are?" Meng Shang ordered expressionlessly.
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!" Zhu Feng bowed respectfully and disappeared from the second floor.
Jing Xi seemed to sense something, and looked up at the second floor, but didn't see anyone.
Strange, she had just felt someone watching them.
"What's wrong? Jingxi, is someone there?" Yan Wan saw Jingxi suddenly look up at the second floor, and she looked up to follow her gaze.
"Yes, I just sensed someone watching us," Jing Xi said with a serious expression.
"It's okay, there's no one here now," Jing Xi said, turning to look at Yan Wan.
"That's... good." Yan Wan glanced up and saw a handsome, wild-looking foreign man raising an eyebrow and smiling at her.
Seeing the unnatural look on Yan Wan's face, Jing Xi quickly turned her head to look behind her, but she still couldn't see anything.
“Jingxi, there really is someone, I saw them.” Yan Wan said, her voice trembling slightly.
"Wan'er, who did you see?" Jing Xi asked anxiously.
“A handsome man with exotic features. He, he just smiled at me,” Yan Wan answered truthfully.
Jing Xi frowned and said, "They should be from the Mongol Kingdom. Yunzhou City is close to the Mongol Kingdom, so there might be spies infiltrating. Wan'er, let's go quickly."
"Okay." Yan Wan nodded hurriedly. There were so many soldiers stationed at the border of Yunzhou City, but that person still appeared in Yunzhou City openly. It seems that his strength should not be underestimated.
After paying the bill, Jing Xi and Yan Wan quickly left the place where there was hidden danger.
"Heh, I thought it would be something special? But it's quite amusing. It looks like a little rabbit when it's scared," Meng Shang muttered to himself.
Now he's even more curious about their identities.

"Outrageous! Who is it? Who dares to slander me like this? This is utterly disgraceful!" Ji Mo'an slammed his hand heavily on the table, causing it to break.
"Investigate! Investigate it for me. Li Shu!" Ji Mo'an roared angrily. As for why Li Shu, it was because he was another protagonist in the story. When Ji Mo'an saw him, he was reminded of the foul language spoken by the common people, and he felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Damn it, don't let him find out who spread it. If he catches them, he'll tear them to pieces.
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!" Li Shu clenched his fist, accepted the order, and withdrew. He knew that as the femme fatale who caused Prince An's rebellion for love, he was bound to be disliked.
However, Li Shu was still quite happy. Although he couldn't do anything to Ji Mo'an right now, he could still appear in front of him often to annoy him.

"Jiang Bai, why haven't you taken any action yet? Master is getting impatient." Cang Ling suddenly appeared and said angrily.
"I've already paid back what I owed you. Don't come looking for me again," Jiang Bai said coldly.
"Jiang Bai, have you forgotten who brought you to Jiangnan and made you the son of the richest man in Jiangnan?" Cang Ling threatened.
“Yes, I am very grateful to have entered the Jiang family and met my father. However, I have already repaid all the help you gave me back then. In gratitude, I gave him a lot of gold and silver to help him support his army. Now, I owe him nothing.” Jiang Bai said firmly.
"Hahahaha, so naive. You've been staying in the Jiang family mansion too long. Has your brain gone idiot? Do you think your father, oh, and the girl you like, would still treat you like this if they knew you were secretly supporting Prince An's army?" Cang Ling continued to pierce the heart.
"Jiang Bai, don't be naive. You two were born to be on opposite sides. Hurry up and take action to stir up trouble in the Northwest, the more chaotic the better," Cang Ling said unhappily.
Jiang Bai didn't answer. Cang Ling angrily stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Bai's clothes. "Do you understand? This is my last warning to you. If there's a next time, I won't come looking for you anymore. I'll go see Miss Jing Xi." Cang Ling reached out and gently patted Jiang Bai's face, threateningly.
Jiang Bai flung his hand away from Jiang Bai's grasp and said, "Get lost. I know what to do. Don't go looking for Jing Xi, you hear me? If I find out you've gone to see Jing Xi, then we'll all go to hell together." Jiang Bai said with a fierce expression.
Seeing Jiang Bai's obviously abnormal expression, Cang Ling said, "As long as you behave and complete the tasks given by our master, we promise not to make things difficult for Miss Jing."
"Get out, get out!" Jiang Bai said angrily.
Is he destined to never escape them for the rest of his life?
"Goodbye!" Cang Ling smiled and disappeared into Jiang Bai's study.
Jiang Bai sat in the chair, gazing steadily out the window.
"Jiang Bai, what are you daydreaming about? Come out quickly, it's about to rain. Let's go to the street and see, it'll be very lively," Jing Xi said excitedly.
She just saw Jiang Bai spacing out. She really didn't know what was troubling Jiang Bai, who was so thorough and responsible.
Upon hearing Jing Xi's voice, Jiang Bai snapped out of his daze and smiled gently, "Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy," Jing Xi said understandingly.
——
A short while later, Jiang Bai finished tidying up and came out.
He looked down at Jing Xi and said, "Let's go."
"Let's go, let's go quickly." Jing Xi grabbed Jiang Bai's arm and walked forward.
Jiang Bai watched Jing Xi's retreating figure and murmured to himself, "Jing Xi, if someone had to lie to you and hide something from you, would you still forgive them?"
"Huh? What did you say?" Jing Xi turned around and looked at Jiang Bai in confusion.
"Let's hurry, or we'll miss our chance." Jiang Bai ultimately didn't ask the question aloud. He held Jing Xi's hand tightly, afraid that she would disappear in the next second. He felt that Jing Xi's decisive and impulsive personality meant she wouldn't give him another chance.
If he misses it, he'll miss it for a lifetime.
