When he heard Gu Yanfei mention Li Yunmeng just now, his first reaction was to marvel at Gu Yanfei's quick thinking. He guessed the cause and effect so quickly and connected him with Li Yunmeng. But now, seeing how confident Gu Yanfei was, he began to suspect that he was wrong.

Gu Yanfei seemed to have expected it.

Was it the moment she saw him, or had she already sensed it before that? Baili Yin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Gu Yanfei smiled even more deeply and asked with a smile: "Do you want to die or live?"

Her tone was light and she seemed to be joking, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Baili Yin didn't say anything and continued to stare at him without blinking.

He smiled again, his eyebrows curved in a frivolous arc.

“Pah, pah, pah!”

He high-fived again, the applause was clear and loud, and he smiled happily, "Second Miss Gu, you really make this king look at you in a new light time and time again, and make this king more interested in you."

In the sunlight, his eyes seemed to glow with golden light, filled with the desire to conquer his prey and arrogant self-confidence.

Even if Gu Yanfei had already noticed something was wrong, so what?

She was too confident. She only brought a carriage, a Ferghana horse, a coachman, a servant and a maid. She didn't even have a guard around her. Even if the servant intended to ride the Ferghana horse to ask for help, he would never be able to escape their encirclement.

hehe.

Baili Yin smiled confidently.

He just liked the little beauty's uniqueness. She was confident, bold, and courageous... She was a rose with thorns, but also like a cunning red fox! This interesting little beauty was really worth his trouble for her.

Baili Yin got off the horse, and a square-faced attendant following him quickly opened the door of the carriage.

In the narrow carriage, Gu Yanfei was sitting by the window holding a cat. Juanbi, who was sitting opposite her, looked at Baili Yin with almost holding her breath, her whole body tense.

"Are you still not getting out of the car?" Baili Yin asked with a smile, "Do you still want me to come and invite you personally?"

Seeing that Gu Yanfei didn't move, Baili Yin smiled more complacently and got on the carriage swiftly. The narrow carriage became very crowded because of his joining.

Baili Yin elegantly extended his hand to Gu Yanfei, with a frivolous smile on his face with deep contours, and spoke in a slower tone, "It's time to go. Don't force me to be so ruthless."

He was laughing, but his words revealed undisguised intimidation.

In his opinion, Gu Yanfei had no chance of escaping from him, as she had already stepped into the trap.

As long as he brought her back to Yue, there was no way Jing would launch an attack on Yue for the daughter of a guilty minister, let alone start a war for it. Even if Chu Yi wanted to, the civil and military officials of Jing would not agree.

Furthermore, Han women value their reputation the most. If she falls into his hands, she will lose her reputation and everything.

Once he took her away from here today, there was absolutely no way she would come back.

She already belongs to him! Facing Baili Yin's greedy eyes, Gu Yanfei's gaze did not shift at all, and he said lightly: "What if I don't leave?"

"Miss Gu, do you think I am trying to scare you?!" Baili Yin's face instantly turned cold, the smile disappeared from the corner of his lips, and his face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice.

To tame a wild fox, you must make it suffer a little, pull out its sharp teeth and claws, and let it know what obedience means.

Baili Yin's eyes, which were always smiling, turned cold, like the snow on the top of a snowy mountain that had not melted for thousands of years. He shouted to the outside of the carriage: "Capture him!"

The square-faced attendant waiting outside the carriage immediately raised his hand and gestured, conveying his master's order.

All the Yue guards drew their long swords from their scabbards. The silver blades gleamed coldly in the sunlight. This was a demonstration, but also a coercion.

They looked at the coachman and servant of the Gu Mansion as if they were looking at two dead people.

The coachman nervously raised his hand to hold his hat.

Baili Yin raised his chin slightly with determination, looking superior with a confident look of victory.

Gu Yanfei yawned lazily and called out indifferently, "Qingguang!"

"Meow~"

A soft cat's meow sounded immediately, and the long-haired calico cat poked its head out from Gu Yanfei's arms, and its emerald green cat's eyes met Baili Yin's.

Baili Yin's mind went blank.

Forget Gu Yanfei, forget Chu Yi, forget everything.

The only thing left in his eyes was the cat in Gu Yanfei's arms, and he was completely immersed in the charm of the cat's eyes.

Baili Yin stared at the calico cat intently as it licked its nose and paws lazily, not wanting to blink at all.

Every move of a cat carries with it a noble and elegant charm, just right, making people want to kneel down and worship it, and want to hold the whole world in front of it.

It's so beautiful. It would be great if it would go back to Yue Kingdom with him! Gu Yanfei was not surprised and said calmly, "Go ahead."

The square-faced attendant outside the carriage frowned in alertness when he saw Baili Yin in the carriage suddenly become motionless like a stone sculpture.

"Third Prince?" The square-faced follower wanted to mount his horse, but heard Gu Yanfei quickly pull out a dagger and put it directly on Baili Yin's neck.

The square-faced attendant froze in an instant, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Let go of the Third Prince!"

The Yue guards outside the carriage also saw this scene, and their faces changed drastically. They couldn't understand how the Third Prince, who was so skilled in martial arts, could be subdued by a weak woman without any resistance.

"The Third Prince!"

"Quick, quick rescue!"

The guards, who had lost their backbone, were extremely anxious and rushed over like a tide, tightening the encirclement. But at this moment, the trembling coachman suddenly moved, swung the whip in his hand, and wrapped around the waist of one of the Yue guards like a snake, throwing him off the brown horse...

The guard fell off his horse in a panic and rolled several times on the dusty and gravelly ground.

All this happened so quickly that the faces of the Yue guards in front and behind changed drastically. They approached with murderous intent, waving their long swords.

The driver casually lifted his hat, revealing Sihai's face, which was so ordinary that people would forget it as soon as they saw it.

He had an extremely cold and stern aura, and his eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light. He was like an emotionless blade on the battlefield, ready to kill anyone who stood in his way.

He jumped up, mounted the guard's brown horse, and picked up the other's knife.

The sword rose and fell, and in just the blink of an eye, he killed another Yue guard with one clean and decisive blow, and the body fell to the ground from the horse's back.

A strong smell of blood filled the air, and the ground was dyed red with blood.

The sounds of shouting, swords, landing, and horses neighing... came one after another.

Their mounts neighed incessantly, adding a hint of anxiety to the air.

"Second Miss Gu, everything has been resolved." Sihai came back to report to Gu Yanfei soon. His face and the shorts on his body were covered with bright red blood, which made his ordinary face look a little weird.

If it was a normal fight, it would not be so easy for Sihai to kill so many skilled guards at the expense of ten alone. However, these Yue guards inevitably lost their composure because their master was captured, which gave Sihai an opportunity.

Gu Yanfei waved his hand to show that he understood, and he was so calm that even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows did not move.

The cat naturally smelled the pungent smell of blood. Its pink nose moved, revealing an expression of disgust. It turned its head and buried its face in Gu Yanfei's arms, curling up into a ball of fur.

After the green cat's eyes moved away, Baili Yin recovered from his state of obsession and regained consciousness in an instant.

"Let's go..." He didn't notice the dagger on his neck for a moment, and stretched out his hand towards Gu Yanfei again, but when he was halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and stopped talking.

His eyes widened as he looked in disbelief at the dead guards and attendants outside the carriage. For a moment, he almost suspected that this was a nightmare.

He couldn't help but pinch himself, and the pain told him that this was a display.

Baili Yin's pupils almost shrunk into a cold dot. He was filled with anger, horror, fear, and resentment... He was so angry that his vision went dark and his right hand subconsciously clenched into a fist.

Murderous intent emerged in his deep eyes.

"You..." Baili Yin looked at Gu Yanfei with a calm expression, and suddenly remembered how she rescued the injured doe in the hunting ground last year. At that time, he thought that although she looked prickly on the outside, she was actually kind-hearted.

It was not until this moment that he realized he was wrong, very wrong.

Baili Yin's throat tightened and he felt a chill all over his body. He wanted to ask Gu Yanfei what he had just done, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time, as if asking would be a sign of weakness.

When Gu Yanfei mentioned Li Yunmeng before, although he was shocked, he was still confident and determined, and felt that Gu Yanfei could not escape from his control.

But now…

His self-confidence had been completely shattered within just a stick of incense.

Baili Yin's eyes were filled with an emotion almost like horror, his hands were clenched into fists, and the strong smell of blood lingering around his nose was so strong that it made him breathless.

He couldn't believe that he was completely defenseless just now, and he could just sit there and watch his guards die tragically at the hands of Gu Yanfei's guards.

how so?!

Baili Yin was totally confused. He had clearly arrived here an incense stick earlier than Gu Yanfei, and he also ordered his guards to survey the area within two miles. There was no ambush in this area, and he knew this very well.

That's why he ordered to intercept Gu Yanfei's carriage.

Although Gu Yanfei knows some Taoist techniques, she is not omnipotent. Her abilities have their limitations, just like a master with extraordinary martial arts skills cannot defeat thousands of troops.

In any case, with the protection of his guards, he was confident that he could escape safely.

However, all his guards were dead, and everything that happened now was completely beyond his expectations. He was in trouble, and it was so unexpected.

Gu Yanfei was obviously well prepared today and brought with him skilled guards. Yet, he just lost himself in thought because of a cat, as if he was bewitched?

He was full of doubts, and his eyes were dazed for a moment as he looked at the beautiful calico cat in Gu Yanfei's arms.

Such a beautiful and cute kitten, like a stunning beauty, so it is natural that he loses his mind for a moment.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Baili Yin quickly bit the tip of his tongue, trying to calm himself down, and said to himself, what is he thinking about.

"Ask a question." Gu Yanfei tilted her little face, looked at Baili Yin whose face was turning pale, and asked directly, "Do you know about Gu Ce?"

Gu Ce? Baili Yin woke up from his chaotic thoughts, was stunned for a moment, then smiled, his smile returning to the previous indifference of playing with the world, as if the corpses around him did not exist.

He didn't say anything, but just stared at Gu Yanfei silently, his eyes so sharp that they seemed to pierce through her appearance.

After staying in Dajing for a few months, he certainly knew that Chu Yi was working to rehabilitate Gu Yanfei's deceased father Gu Ce. This matter had already caused a lot of controversy in Dajing.

"You won't tell me?" Gu Yanfei's tone was extremely light, as if Baili Yin, the third prince of Yue State, was nothing in her eyes and was not even noticed by her.

For a moment, Baili Yin was irritated by Gu Yanfei's expression. He raised his eyes frivolously and said in his usual uninhibited tone, "If the girl is willing to go back to Dayue with me, I will tell you."

"In Dai Viet, there are files about the war between the two countries nine years ago. Don't you want to take a look, Miss Gu?" He threw out the bait slowly.

Gu Yanfei looked at him, his right index finger casually rolling up a strand of black hair, sometimes and sometimes, as if he was absent-minded.

But Baili Yin knew that she was listening, and knew that she was very concerned about overturning Gu Ce's verdict. Otherwise, why would Chu Yi go to such lengths to please her, and why would she risk her life to ask him.

"When we get to Dayue, I promise to give you those files." Baili Yin was not in a hurry and said slowly, "I can help your father overturn the case."

After a deliberate pause, Baili Yin looked at Gu Yanfei's lips that were as red as flower petals, and continued in a very bewitching tone: "Whatever Gongzi Yi can do for you, I can do it too."

Baili Yin's eyes moved slightly, and a seductive smile appeared on his lips.

In just a few words, he regained the initiative, his mind as clear as a mirror: he has his value, so even though others died, he is still standing here.

Just now, Gu Yanfei so cruelly ordered his subordinates to kill so many of his guards. To be frank, it was just to scare him and break down his defenses.

What a pity, it's a shame that she underestimated herself.

When the wind blew, the smell of blood in the air not only did not dissipate, but became even stronger.

The atmosphere was tense and depressing, like the night before a storm, with thunder and lightning, and the flashing of swords and sabers.

"What do you think? What do you think, Miss Gu?" Baili Yin smiled again, and continued to ask, "Do you want to go back to Dayue with me?"

Without waiting for Gu Yanfei to answer, he continued to talk to himself: "Second Miss Gu, even if you control this king, what can I do?"

"Are you going to kill this king?"

"I am visiting Jing from Yue. I am an envoy from Yue. If I cannot return to Yue smoothly, then a war between the two countries will be unavoidable."

"Miss, are you going to start a war between the two countries just for me and for a moment of righteous indignation?"

"Oh, the girl is a smart one...isn't she?"

Baili Yin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked back in an affirmative tone, as if he had completely seen through Gu Yanfei and didn't care at all about the dagger in Gu Yanfei's hand.

My two best friends and I both fell down during the National Day holiday. What kind of bad luck is this...
