Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Getting rid of Jiang Daiyi and gouging out Yunqin...
The dungeon was damp, without sunlight, and smelled terrible.
Jiang Daiyi stood in front of Qian Xiang, who was tortured to death, and asked, "Do you want to go out?"
Qian Xiang looked up at Jiang Daiyi and said, "Don't be so kind. If you wanted to save me, I wouldn't be in the dungeon anymore."
Indeed, Yun Qin didn't know that the Yun family still had spies planted by Jiang Daiyi. Besides, Yun Qin was not on guard against Jiang Daiyi at the moment. If Jiang Daiyi really wanted to save Qian Xiang, it would not be a big deal.
Jiang Daiyi smiled with a hint of confusion: "Why are you teaming up with King Huai Geng to ruin my reputation? Why do you have to involve me in your fight against Yun Qin? What's your purpose?"
Qian Xiang said, "Am I the one who wants to deal with Yun Qin? It is Yun Qin who has been chasing me."
Jiang Daiyi had no interest in the chase between Yunqin and Qianxiang.
Jiang Daiyi asked, "What is your ultimate goal?"
Qian Xiang negotiated with Jiang Daiyi: "I'm telling you this on the condition that you rescue me first."
Jiang Daiyi smiled and said, "If you don't want to tell me, let me guess."
The brazier in the dungeon crackled. Jiang Daiyi said to Qian Xiang, "You deliberately revealed my identity to King Huai Geng. On the surface, you were using me to deal with Yun Qin, but in reality, the one you really wanted to deal with was me, right?"
"You're quite speculative," Qian Xiang said calmly. "From the beginning, I've only wanted to deal with Yun Qin. He's standing in my way and trying to kill me. Is it strange that I'm going after him?"
Jiang Daiyi took out a porcelain bottle and said, "This is the antidote to the muscle softening powder. Tell me and I'll give it to you."
Qian Xiang had no other choice. Yun Qin trapped him here and tortured him every day without killing him, which meant that he would not be killed for the time being.
But Jiang Daiyi came over and deliberately staged this drama. It seemed that none of them dared to make a move on him rashly, so...
"Okay," Qian Xiang agreed, "but walls have ears. Come closer and I'll tell you."
Jiang Daiyi indeed moved closer, but closer to the brazier. She held the antidote in her hand, hovering over the brazier. "Just tell me, or you'll be locked up in this dungeon."
The night was silent, Yun Qin was waiting at the dungeon door.
Jiang Daiyi came out waving her sleeves. The smell in the dungeon was really bad.
Yun Qin supported Jiang Daiyi. Her face became paler day by day, but she looked like nothing had happened.
"You let him go." Yun Qin said.
Jiang Daiyi nodded, "If we don't let him go, how are we going to catch the big fish behind?"
Yun Qin didn't care about Qian Xiang. He said, "The master of Wu Nian Temple is already waiting in the front hall. Come with me to meet him."
A gentle smile appeared on Jiang Daiyi's face: "Now, brother, you don't suspect that I and Qian Xiang have teamed up to frame you, right?"
Yun Qin paused, his expression indifferent under the white moonlight. "Sister, do you think I trapped Qian Xiang because I was suspicious of you?"
Jiang Daiyi's eyes froze. She had always known Yun Qin's character. What he meant by this sentence was to ask her, did he still feel that his feelings for her were mixed with other things, rather than being wholehearted?
Cang Moss's face was cold. She looked at Yun Qin, who was inexplicably angry, and said softly, "Brother, I didn't express myself clearly. Qian Xiang is vicious. I know that you are afraid that I will fall into his trap, so you won't let me meet him privately."
Yun Qin never showed his emotions in front of anyone other than Jiang Daiyi. His eyes were dark and unclear. "Sister, Guanxue Pavilion was built for you. Are you used to living here?"
Jiang Daiyi seemed not to have caught Yun Qin's hidden meaning. She said frankly, "I don't like places that are too high. Standing on a high pavilion, I can overlook everything, but it also makes me feel like a bird trapped in a cage. I don't like that."
Hearing this, Yun Qin looked straight at Jiang Daiyi and said, "Don't you like me accompanying you?"
Jiang Daiyi lowered her eyes and did not directly answer Yun Qin's question. She turned and walked forward, but the direction she was heading was not Guanxue Pavilion.
Yun Qin stayed where he was for a while, his thin and light robe fluttering in the wind.
"Young Master Yun." Master Wunian came out from the darkness and called out.
Yun Qin didn't withdraw his gaze until Jiang Daiyi's back disappeared among the green bamboos, and the lonely look on his face gradually disappeared.
"It's rare to have a girl like this who can make a figure like Master Yun so infatuated that he loses his composure."
Yunqin asked, "Master, have you seen anything?"
Master Wu Nian travels around all year round, and Yun Qin has been looking for him for a long time. It was only recently that he returned to Wu Nian Temple, and Yun Qin had the opportunity to invite him down the mountain to observe the cause and effect.
Master Wu Nian said, "I've seen a lot. What do you want to hear, sir?"
Yun Qin broke off a withered branch of white jade flower and asked, "Who is she?"
Master Wu Nian smiled and said, "She used to be your sister."
Yun Qin stroked the rotten marks on the branch. "She has so many secrets. Master, could you please help me solve them?"
Master Wu Nian said, "Now that the world is about to be settled, you should focus on the people."
"I know." Yun Qin said.
A secret guard searched for a long time before finding Yun Qin. He flew over while shouting from afar.
"I've been looking for the young master everywhere, but he's nowhere to be found. It turns out he's here. Something's happened in the court."
Yun Qin put away the dead magnolia branch and turned to look at the secret guard.
"Sir, Lord Yun Qing has entered the palace and exaggerated Miss Jiang's affairs. Someone from the palace has sent a message for you to come to the palace as soon as possible to resolve this matter."
After being delayed in the north for some time, I didn't expect that the originally stable situation in the court would become so tense.
Master Wu Nian had not originally planned to stay any longer, but upon seeing this he clasped his hands together and bowed.
"Young Master, you are so busy that I cannot stay here for long. So I will just say one thing to you. If you don't like it, you can come and see me."
The secret guard pressed him hard, and Yun Qin said, "Master, please speak."
Master Wu Nian said, "Young Master, you are obsessed with something, and your vision is already blocked by a leaf. If you do nothing about Miss Jiang, you will be able to see the clear sky. If you insist on restraining her, I am afraid you will be filled with worries and fears."
Yunqin is a smart man, and Master Wunian also explained it clearly, so he naturally understood it. He should let things take their course and not restrict Jiang Daiyi too much. Then the dilemma between the two can be easily resolved.
Master Wu Nian said goodbye: "I will take my leave now."
Yun Qin nodded and said, "Master, take care."
Yun Qin's eyes darkened. He had always believed that success depended on human effort. Given Jiang Daiyi's current condition, was it really appropriate for him to let go?
Yun Qin could see clearly what she was thinking. If he loosened his grip a little, she would be eager to leave him. Even if she had some feelings for him, it could not compare to the word freedom.
The secret guard urged cautiously: "Young Master."
Yun Qin closed his eyes and ordered, "Remove the secret guards in the mansion. Don't keep an eye on the young lady. If she wants to leave, don't stop her."
The secret guard was very surprised to hear this, but still obeyed the order: "Yes. The carriage is ready, sir, please enter the palace."
Yun Qin was in a bad mood because of Jiang Daiyi, but the affairs of the court had to be properly resolved at the moment. King Huai Geng was eyeing her covetously, and Yun Qing was coveting the throne. It didn't matter, no matter where she escaped to in the future, he would have plenty of time to find her back in the world.
From now on, everything that concerns the people around her will be related to Yunqin alone.
On the other side, Jiang Daiyi did not return to Guanxue Pavilion, but returned to the courtyard where she originally lived.
The yard is swept every day and is kept very clean.
Several maids were guarding outside the door, and Lu Wan was the one serving personally.
Jiang Daiyi opened the window, sat at the small table, and looked at the green willow branches swaying in the wind outside the window, unable to hide her worry.
I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.
Lu Wan said: "Why don't you live in Guanxue Pavilion, it's much more comfortable there than in the courtyard."
As soon as Jiang Daiyi entered the yard, countless secret guards lurking in the dark suddenly left in a hurry.
Lu Wan knew that the young master was afraid that the girl would run away, so he sent secret guards to monitor her in secret, but he didn't expect that there were so many of them.
It looks scary.
Lu Wan looked at Jiang Daiyi, who was a little angry, and asked, "Miss, is there something wrong in the palace?"
Otherwise, how could the young master let the girl out of his sight?
Jiang Daiyi raised her eyes. In the courtyard, or in the entire Yun Mansion, there was no extra manpower stationed except the secret guards who were responsible for their duties.
Yun Qin suddenly did this, but Jiang Daiyi didn't think that Yun Qin had come to his senses. He was willing to let her choose whether to stay or go. She was probably already meeting Master Wu Nian.
"Lu Wan, have any monks come to the mansion recently?" Jiang Daiyi asked Lu Wan.
Lu Wan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the young master did invite a master into the mansion. What's wrong, young lady? Is there anything wrong?"
Jiang Daiyi smiled and said, "Nothing wrong with it. Very good."
"I think it's a good idea too." Qian Xiang, who was originally let go by Jiang Daiyi, returned to Yun Mansion. He stood in front of Jiang Daiyi with injuries all over his body.
Lu Wan pulled Jiang Daiyi back, "He, why is he back again, girl."
Jiang Daiyi said to Lu Wan, "You go down first."
Lu Wan asked in disbelief, "What?"
Jiang Daiyi comforted Lu Wan: "It's okay, he won't do anything to me. I'll say a few words to him and then let him go."
Although Lu Wan was worried about Jiang Daiyi, seeing that Qian Xiang was covered in wounds, she was afraid that she was no match for Jiang Daiyi. After all, when a girl gets angry, she can fight a young man to a draw.
So, Lu Wan had no choice but to leave first.
Jiang Daiyi sat at the stone table in the courtyard and said to Qian Xiang, "I told you before, don't try to plot against me with Qiang Wuyue. Now it's all gone awry. How are you going to solve this, Lord Qian Xiang?"
Qian Xiang's expression was cold-blooded. He said to Jiang Daiyi, "What did you guess?"
Jiang Daiyi didn't intend to tell Qian Xiang, and didn't plan to answer this question. "Instead of asking me these useless questions, you should think about how to remedy the situation, get your plan back on track, and how to go home."
Qian Xiang then realized that Jiang Daiyi did it on purpose.
"You guessed that I had to rely on you to return to my original world, so you set me up and dragged Yunqin into this to scare him so that he wouldn't dare to control you anymore."
Jiang Daiyi tilted her head and smiled, "I don't like to cooperate with people who have ulterior motives. I've said it before, if you want to cooperate with me, you have to show sincerity, otherwise, I don't mind both of us losing."
King Huai Geng wanted to deal with Yun Qin, so she used Qian Xiang to go with the flow and spread rumors, making it impossible for Yun Qin to take care of both ends at the same time. Once he became suspicious and hesitated, he would reveal his flaws.
Qian Xiang asked her, "Wunian is yours."
Jiang Daiyi asked in confusion: "Why do you think he is mine?"
Qian Xiang said: "Tianque's intelligence has always been accurate, including the information about Wunian Temple. Wunian Temple was already in ruins seven years ago.
Now a master appears out of nowhere. This master is fake and not yours. Could it be that he is kind-hearted and only helps you? "
Jiang Daiyi revealed Wu Nian’s previous identity.
"Wunian was born in Tianque, and was your subordinate seven years ago.
When you were sick, you killed his family. He wanted to seek revenge on you, but he knew he was not strong enough, so he had to lie dormant and give up temporarily.
I happened to see him and helped him escape from the sky.
He sought refuge in Wu Nian Temple, and for some reason he suddenly let go of his hatred and resentment and became a monk. For many years he has been traveling around the world helping people.
You killed his family with your own hands, and you don't even recognize him?"
Qian Xiang narrowed his eyes and asked, "It was you who instructed him to go to Wunian Temple?"
"It's not really guidance, I just accidentally pointed him in the right direction." Jiang Daiyi did not deny it. She didn't know why Wunian Temple turned into ruins quietly, but she helped many people back then.
It's like gambling. The more people she helps, the more people will be able to help her in the future, including Lu Zhao, Zhao Li and others who acted with her. They are all chess pieces she has placed.
Now, everyone's development is within her expectations and can be used by her. Success has never depended on luck.
Qian Xiang was defeated by her and Yun Qin fell into her trap because they were conceited enough and sometimes wanted to control things too much, which was a weakness.
Qian Xiang looked coldly: "Okay, let's cooperate, Jiang Daiyi."
Hearing this, Jiang Daiyi looked at him with a faint smile on her lips.
The wind rustled under the white moon, and the silent light reflected on Jiang Daiyi's eyebrows.
Until Qian Xiang left and his figure completely disappeared into the darkness, she looked at Qian Xiang before turning back into the house.
