"Yan Jiu?" Chu Mubai immediately understood. "So it was him who saved you."
During this period, although the new emperor did not admit it, Chu Mubai knew from the news brought by the Night Owls that Zi Linglong had actually been rescued by someone, and the person in the Crown Prince Rui's camp that he checked tonight also confirmed this.
Zi Linglong thought to herself, "Oh my god, I think I let something slip."
"So it seems that Yan Jiu was the one who took action tonight. Why would a medicinal herb merchant like him get involved in the war between two countries?
