Changling Mountain is Bai Hongkai's territory, the place where he guards it, and also the border area.
The army under Bai Hongkai's command is in Changling Mountain, and it is his responsibility to maintain the border.
So when Bai Hongkai heard the lieutenant say that Yejiu led his men to besiege Changling Mountain, he became angry.
"Yejiu, you are so brave that you dare to besiege Changling Mountain."
Do you want to rebel?
"Oh no! Patriarch, something terrible has happened!"
Suddenly, a servant of the Yuan family rushed into the hall and came to the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Wenqing, to report in a panic.
"Our convoy passing through the Changling border was attacked! All the cargo on the convoy was intercepted!"
Patriarch Yuan Wenqing was shocked. "What did you say? Who did it?"
The servant trembled as he looked at Yejiu, who stood tall and dignified with one hand in his pocket, and said, "He's from the Ninth Palace."
Patriarch Yuan Wenqing was furious and pointed at him. "Yejiu, why did you, the people from the Nine Palaces, attack my convoy? You even stole my goods. Do you know that those were emergency medicines? Are you trying to disregard the lives of innocent people by doing this?"
Changling Mountain is a border area, adjacent to the city of Inni in Country Z.
Inni City is an uncontrolled and chaotic city in Country Z.
There are black markets, bandits, desperadoes, and more importantly, business opportunities.
This road is the closest route for communication between the two countries and is also the only way for merchants from all walks of life.
Although there are many unknown dangers, many aristocratic families still like to take this shortcut.
Fortunately, Bai Hongkai led his troops to guard this passage leading to the two countries.
In recent years, with him around, everything has been peaceful for many years and nothing has ever happened.
Today, Yejiu suddenly broke the peace at the border.
Not only did they besiege Changling Mountain, but they also robbed the Yuan family's medicine.
This behavior is extremely rampant.
Bai Hongkai hadn't encountered such a reckless person in many years. He stared at Yejiu with a pair of dark eyes, "Yejiu, do you have anything else to quibble with?"
"Oh……"
Yejiu's smile was captivating, charming, and slanting. Even though the curve of the corners of his mouth was very shallow, it was enough to make people unforgettable and fall in love with him.
But it is too cold and indifferent.
He pulled Shi Qi and slowly sat back on the chair. The collar of his white silk shirt was half open, revealing his neck as delicate as fine porcelain.
His eyes were slightly closed, filled with laziness, his expression was relaxed, and he spoke nonchalantly, "Yes, I did it."
Wow...
Everyone looked shocked.
Even Bai Hongkai and Patriarch Yuan Wenqing were stunned.
He actually admitted it on his own initiative!
Bai Jingming was excited and ecstatic. He had disliked Yejiu for a long time.
"Did you hear that? He admitted it himself. He openly provoked the military, disrupted border security, and even committed banditry. Yet, he hasn't been arrested yet?"
The crowd was outraged.
"Yes, they must be put in jail. This kind of pest that harms the country must not be tolerated."
"You've given up being a good person and turned into a robber. Do you think we can do nothing about you? You've already admitted it, and everyone present heard it."
Everyone was completely furious.
When the lieutenant saw Bai Hongkai nod, he was about to step forward to arrest him, but he saw Ye Jiu raise the corner of his mouth with an evil arc.
He suddenly asked quietly, "Commander Bai, you seem to have a good relationship with the head of the Yuan family?"
Bai Hongkai snorted coldly, "The Yuan family passes through Changling Mountain every year to purchase various medicinal herbs. As the commander guarding the border, of course I am familiar with it."
Yejiu raised his eyes. He looked charming, but his eyes were cold.
"I heard someone saw you drinking together. Is that true?"
Bai Hongkai scoffed disdainfully, "So what if you drank? Everyone has a few drinking buddies, some superficial and some intimate. It's no use trying to attract everyone's attention with this kind of thing. You're still doomed today!"
Yejiu chuckled softly, looking very lazy and casual, with his arm resting on the seat behind Shi Qi, looking very charming and evil.
The words that came out of his mouth were cold, "I suspect you are conspiring with the Yuan family to smuggle firearms, drugs, guns, weapons, and even drugs under the guise of commercial transportation."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked again.
The news was so explosive that everyone was stunned.
It was as if he couldn't believe his ears at all.
Patriarch Yuan Wenqing was the first to react. His face flushed with excitement as he angrily shouted, "Yejiu, stop talking nonsense! You're slandering me!"
But his hands at his sides began to tremble slightly.
Even my back is shivering.
Shi Qi, who was sitting next to Ye Jiu, narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but sneer when he saw his little action.
"It's said that every convoy passing through Changling Mountain must be thoroughly inspected by Commander Bai's troops before leaving. I wonder why the Yuan family is an exception and has never been subject to any inspection? Is it really like my husband said, that you two really have a very good relationship?"
When these words were spoken, not only were everyone shocked, even Bai Hongkai, who was calm, had his face changed drastically.
An Qingmei sneered sarcastically, "Shi Qi, have you lost your mind? Commander Bai is loyal and dedicated to protecting the border security of Great Yuezhou. How could he do such a thing?"
Why did things turn out like this?
A sinister glint flashed across An Qingmei's eyes.
Jiu Ye didn't react at all when she approached him. It seemed that the poison she had given him had been removed.
The night she was humiliated, the antidote in the cabinet disappeared for no reason.
It has absolutely something to do with Shi Qi!
She hates it!
She wants Shi Qi to die!
Since he can't get Jiu Ye, Jiu Ye can forget about escaping this conspiracy with Shi Qi.
An Qingmei then sneered, "Yejiu, Shiqi, you are about to die, and you still want to quibble and drag others into the water with you?"
He turned to look at Bai Hongkai, "Commander Bai, don't be mad at them. They are just trying to buy time and wait for rescue. Maybe they had already planned this before they came, to throw this unwarranted mud on you and the Yuan family."
Shi Qi raised his eyebrows, she was half right.
but……
Yejiu just curled his lips and sneered.
"Smuggling is a capital crime. Commander Bai and the head of the Yuan family held secret talks for several days and nights under the guise of drinking. So, you must have been involved in his conspiracy, perhaps even a key plotter."
Bai Hongkai exploded, his face turning black with anger. "Yejiu, stop being so arrogant and slandering people and fabricating rumors. Lieutenant, quickly arrest him! No! Arrest both of them!"
The lieutenant was already shocked by Yejiu's words, but was suddenly brought back to his senses by Bai Hongkai's roar.
He pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand, waved to the other soldiers, and walked towards Yejiu.
Shi Qi suddenly grabbed Yejiu's hand and frowned.
Yejiu narrowed his seductive fox eyes and pinched her soft little hand, telling her not to worry.
The lieutenant approached, step by step to the side of Yejiu, and saw him put his hand into his pocket. He immediately raised his gun and pointed it at him vigilantly.
"Don't..." move.
When he saw Yejiu take out a black and dark gold plate from his pocket, he was stunned as if struck by lightning.
