"What do you mean?"
Jiang Mubai's expression grew colder and colder, and his gaze toward Ye Jintang became increasingly hostile.
He stared intently at Ye Jintang, and the next second, as if he wanted to tear her apart, he said, word by word, "Sometimes, knowing too much is not good for you, Ye Jintang."
"I can tolerate you in some minor matters, but if you keep challenging my bottom line, then I will not be polite."
Do you know Jiang Yuan?
Ye Jintang showed no fear, and her words shocked Jiang Mubai even more.
How could she know Jiang Yuan? Thinking of the token Ye Jintang had mentioned earlier, Jiang Mubai couldn't help but feel nervous.
Since arriving in Beijing, Jiang Yuan has disappeared. Even if he wanted to take action, he couldn't, because the things this man knew would pose a significant threat.
How could Jiang Mubai tolerate such a thing happening?
Seeing that Ye Jintang remained silent, Jiang Mubai became even more anxious.
"Ye Jintang, I'm asking you a question."
Seeing Jiang Mubai approaching, Green Lotus instinctively stepped in front of Ye Jintang to block him.
"My lord, please show some respect. My young lady is not someone you can scold at will!"
"Shut up!" Jiang Mubai's clenched fist cracked as he was about to swing it at Lühe.
"How dare a mere maidservant speak ill of me? She's utterly courting death!"
Ye Jintang's expression changed; it was clear that Jiang Mubai had murderous intent after what had just happened.
Even though Green Lotus is skilled in martial arts, she would probably be defeated by this punch.
Ye Jintang mobilized a wisp of spiritual energy from the space, and just as Jiang Mubai was about to make a move, the spiritual energy transformed into a barrier to separate him.
Jiang Mubai felt as if he were encountering an invisible resistance in his palms, and all his movements felt as if they weighed a ton.
Green Lotus was initially surprised by Jiang Mubai's fist raised in mid-air, but quickly realized that her mistress was obviously helping her.
Seeing that Lühe's gaze was directed in his direction, Ye Jintang felt helpless.
"What are you still standing there for? Come here."
"yes."
When Green Lotus came to her side, Ye Jintang sighed softly, truly having no way to deal with her.
At the same time, the obstacles Jiang Mubai encountered also disappeared.
"Ye Jintang, where did you learn these evil tricks from, and what exactly do you want to do?"
"What I'm going to do, Jiang Mubai, is not for you to know. I'll put it out there today: if you can tell the Emperor about the plot to murder my father, you and everyone in the Marquis's mansion can save your lives."
"If you can't, then you can collect their corpses one by one."
Seeing Ye Jintang preparing to leave with his men, Jiang Mubai became even more furious.
He, a grown man, was actually threatened by a woman!
If word gets out, where will he put his face?
Moreover, Ye Jintang also knew about Jiang Yuan and the token, so he was even less likely to let Ye Jintang leave.
If this woman was so disobedient in the Marquis's mansion, it would be even more difficult for him to take action against her outside.
"Someone come here!"
After Jiang Mubai gave the order, dozens of guards suddenly appeared near the courtyard.
These guards were all unfamiliar faces, and their martial arts skills were superb.
Green Lotus looked at the people who had appeared and immediately felt a sense of impending doom. She lowered her voice and whispered a warning to Ye Jintang, "Miss, be careful. These guards are all from the military camp?"
"Military camp?"
Ye Jintang hesitated. She had forgotten that Lühe had been by the original owner's side since childhood, and given Ye He's identity, she must have been to the military camp as well.
It's not surprising that they would recognize these people.
However, the fact that Jiang Mubai would use the military to deal with him suggests that the situation there is not optimistic.
"Jiang Mubai, do you know what the consequences are for mobilizing people in the military camp without authorization?"
Ye Jintang went to ask Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai originally thought that Ye Jintang would show shock or fear in her eyes when she saw these guards, but she did not expect that she would directly question him first.
"Ye Jintang, what can you possibly do to me?"
From what he just said, Jiang Mubai was almost certain that Ye Jintang knew something.
That's why, and given the circumstances, he chose to use these people.
Ye Jintang is so unpredictable that he is sometimes impossible to guard against.
"Miss, please find a chance to leave later. I will cover your retreat."
Green Lotus said to Ye Jintang that she was prepared to go all in in front of so many people.
Ye Jintang narrowed his eyes slightly; it was indeed a troublesome matter if these people wanted to take action.
Using spiritual power would also leave behind significant hidden dangers later on.
Given Jiang Mubai's current attitude, it seems the only option left is to use that thing.
"Jiang Mubai, I'll give you one chance. Tell all these people to step back."
Ye Jintang spoke slowly and deliberately, her gaze then sweeping over the guards who had appeared.
"You all need to understand the consequences of following Jiang Mubai here."
However, these guards were clearly following Jiang Mubai's orders and were unaware that Ye Jintang had made any concessions.
"Miss, don't waste your breath on these people. I will protect you with my life."
“Green Lotus, didn’t I tell you before that many things can’t be accomplished with just passion?”
Hearing these words and Ye Jintang's reaction, Jiang Mubai was also puzzled. Could it be that Ye Jintang was hiding some other trump cards?
If she had other trump cards, she would have used them long ago; why wait until now?
No, this woman is too cunning. No matter what, we must subdue her first.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mubai raised his hand and ordered his men, "What are you waiting for? Take her down!"
Ye Jintang coldly looked at these people and took out the token from her spatial storage.
"Jiang Mubai, do you recognize this?"
After speaking with Jiang Mubai, Ye Jintang looked at the other people around her and asked, "Do any of you know anyone else?"
Jiang Mubai only saw the piece that Ye Jintang took out, but did not see it clearly.
Could it be that Ye Jintang has already obtained the piece that Ye He hid?
He said that there were some advantages to keeping Ye Jintang in the mansion.
Now, this is where it comes in handy.
Jiang Mubai couldn't help but feel smug; this so-called token would ultimately end up in his hands anyway.
Seeing that the people he brought were unmoved, Jiang Mubai suddenly became somewhat impatient.
He commanded them in the harshest tone, "What are you all waiting for? Get to work!"
But the guards who had just been obeying his orders showed no reaction whatsoever.
Their gazes were all fixed in one direction: the token in Ye Jintang's hand.
Now, Jiang Mubai realized that something was wrong. He took two steps forward, and his pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the appearance of the token.
This...this is a token representing the royal family.
It is even related to the emperor. Once you have this token, you can disobey anyone's orders except the emperor's.
