"Then let's take action!"
An Tingyu sat in a rattan chair under the tree, looking up at the starry sky, unable to sleep. Although the enemy had been captured, the illness was cured, and all the problems were solved, she still felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart. She didn't know if she was too suspicious, but she always felt that this moment was like the calm before the storm, and her heart was restless and uneasy.
Suddenly, An Tingyu's originally indifferent eyes became sharp and stern, but then faded again. The familiar fragrance showed that the person coming was not a stranger.
"It seems like you really have no defense against Jing Aotian at all!"
It was a familiar voice, but it was definitely not the person An Tingyu thought it was. She was secretly startled and just as she moved, a sharp dagger was already on her neck.
"Don't move. This king knows that you are good at martial arts. If you dare to move, this king cannot guarantee that he will show mercy to you."
"Mo Youcan, you actually escaped without caring about your own subordinates?" An Tingyu frowned secretly, wondering how Mo Youcan knew that she knew martial arts. She had never demonstrated it in front of him, hadn't she? Who betrayed her?
"How could I ignore them? But I know that as long as you are in their hands, no matter whether it is Queen Mother Fu or Long Xunyi, they will not let you die, so I am not worried about them at all." Mo Youcan walked up to her from behind with a wicked smile.
An Tingyu looked at him silently until an object flashed in the corner of her eyes. She frowned secretly. Mo Youcan was wearing a sachet. Although the sachet was different from Jing Aotian's, the fragrance it emitted was the same.
"It seems this thing deceived me. And it knows Jing Aotian's personal belongings in such detail. It seems that you have already planted spies in our army. But if you already have spies, then why were you captured? What do you want to do?"
"What do you think?" Mo Youcan winked at her.
An Tingyu stared at him in silence. After a long pause, she said, "Can you really die on the battlefield for a woman?"
If this siege was really just for her, then this man was too stupid.
Mo Youcan shrugged, "Who knows! Maybe! But maybe not. In short, you are my life-saving talisman now, so you have to come with me."
The next day, a cold wind blew across the border. Jing Aotian clutched a piece of paper tightly in his hand, his eyes as cold as ice, yet his tone was incomparably calm and slow, "Take him away and execute him!"
"Prince Jing, please spare my life!"
All the soldiers guarding Mo Youcan were dragged out of the hall. Cries for mercy could be heard from afar, but they still couldn't move Jing Aotian at all.
"Aotian..."
Liu Yunsheng spoke timidly. You know, his friend and master was more terrifying the quieter he was. At this moment, Jing Aotian was undoubtedly crazy.
"Prepare the horses!"
"Aotian, absolutely not. I know you are very anxious, but you absolutely cannot go there. There is no place to hide people. If anyone shows up, the other party will notice immediately."
"So this king will keep his promise."
Hearing this, Liu Yunsheng disagreed even more. "That's even worse. Going alone would be like committing suicide. Also, this matter must be kept secret from Dang Yan, otherwise..."
"What are you trying to hide from me?" Dang Yan had walked in at some point. His voice was slow and sounded indifferent and distant, yet also frightening. A cold-blooded cruelty was revealed in his warm throat.
Even if Liu Yunsheng didn't say anything, he knew the coldness emanating from Dang Yan. Dang Yan already knew about it. In fact, with the commotion in the camp, how could he possibly keep it a secret?
"Um... Dang Yan! Don't worry, Miss An will be fine, she..."
"Prince Jing, if anything happens to the young lady, I will definitely kill you, so Prince Jing had better be mentally prepared, I will not show mercy."
"When you say..."
"I want to go too!" Dang Yan interrupted Liu Yunsheng's voice, staring at Jing Aotian with a pair of sharp eyes, his tone firm and unyielding.
Without waiting for Jing Aotian to speak, Dang Yan continued, "Prince Jing, don't say no. Since Mo Youcan has put forward conditions, he shouldn't have any objections even if I am one more person."
Jing Aotian frowned, but finally agreed.
Dang Yan is An Tingyu's bodyguard and the most trusted person of Old Man An. He is also an excellent martial arts master. With him around, there may be a greater chance of rescuing An Tingyu. And as Dang Yan said, one more person will not make much difference. As long as Mo Youcan is able to meet the requirements, An Tingyu will be safe for the time being.
