Chapter 278 If you don’t agree, come and challenge me
Lan Xiyue came to the side hall, walked to the shelf to wash her hands, then walked to the table and sat down. After eating a few bites quickly, she put down her bowl and chopsticks.
Seeing this, Chuchun asked with concern: "Miss, is today's meal not to your liking?"
Lan Xiyue shook her head, "No, I'm not that hungry."
After saying that, she stood up and left the side hall, walked into the yard, and sat down at the stone table. She was a little annoyed. She had been studying for an entire afternoon but had not come up with a solution to the ghost poison.
At this moment, a dark figure appeared silently in front of her, half-knelt down, and said in a low and respectful voice: "Princess."
Lan Xiyue raised her eyes, her gaze as sharp as a torch, staring directly at An Er in front of her: "An Er is back, get up. How is the power you created?"
Upon hearing this, An Er stood up, his expression becoming even more respectful. "Princess, I and Yun Dian have already recruited a group of experts, now totaling thirty-five. They are all loyal, reliable, and highly skilled in martial arts."
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, a hint of surprise and interest flashing in her eyes: "Oh? It's grown so quickly, really impressive. Where are they now? Take me to see them."
An Er replied, "Princess, I have purchased a house outside the city as my base."
Lan Xiyue stood up after hearing this, and turned her gaze towards Chuchun and Chuxia. Her tone was gentle but unquestionable, "You stay home and be good. I'm going out for a while."
Chuchun looked worried: "Miss, it's getting dark, you still want to go out?"
At this time, An Yi appeared beside him like a ghost, with a hint of joking in his tone: "We are here and will definitely protect the princess. Don't worry about it as a little maid."
An Er also interjected at the right time: "I will prepare the carriage. We still have some distance to go after leaving the city."
Lan Xiyue nodded slightly, turned around and went back to her room, changed into a tight-fitting men's suit, looking heroic. When she left the mansion, the carriage was ready and waiting outside.
Lan Xiyue got on the carriage, An Er whipped the horse, and the carriage galloped out in the night and headed straight for the city gate.
However, when they arrived at the city gate, it was already closed.
An Yi raised the token and the guards at the city gate opened the heavy gate.
In the study of the Regent's Palace, Mo Yifan was talking to Mo Liyuan about how the Emperor had been in a bad mood these days because the eldest prince had been kidnapped by men in black. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the room, and Tianyi hurried in and whispered a few words.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yifan stood up abruptly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "What? The little aunt just left the city?"
Mo Yifan turned to look at Tianyi beside him, "These days, the imperial city is under tight security. How did the little imperial aunt get out of the city so late at night?"
Tianyi was slightly stunned, then looked at Mo Yifan with a look that almost looked at an idiot, "Third Prince, An Yi has the master's token."
Mo Yifan suddenly realized what was going on. He glared at Tianyi and said in a disgruntled tone, "Tianyi, what was that look in your eyes just now?"
Tianyi shrugged innocently, muttering to himself: I don't have any look in my eyes, I'm just telling the truth.
Mo Yifan snorted coldly and changed the subject: "That's right, little uncle, An Yi doesn't even write to you anymore and reports to you about the imperial aunt at any time."
Mo Liyuan's tone was calm and unperturbed: "An Yi is already Yue Er's man, so there's no need for him to report everything to me."
Mo Yifan couldn't help but lift his chin when he heard this, muttering, "What is the little aunt doing out at this hour of the night?"
Mo Liyuan stood up and said, "I will go and take a look myself. Mo Yifan, I will leave the secret investigation of Mo Jicang to you. I am very curious about what his relationship is with the remnants of King Xiaoyao." After he finished speaking, he flashed and blended into the night.
An hour later, a carriage slowly stopped in front of a simple house.
The curtain was lifted slightly, and Lan Xiyue got off the carriage. She looked up at the house and then walked in.
Inside the house, Yun Dian saw Lan Xiyue enter. He hurried forward, knelt on one knee, and saluted, "Little... Master."
Lan Xiyue gently raised her hand, signaling Yundian to stand up. Her eyes swept around the darkness, finally landing on Yundian. "Yundian, call everyone out."
Yun Dian's expression froze when he heard this. He nodded heavily and said to the dark place, "All of you come out."
The low sound of thunder echoed in the silent night sky. After a moment, figures emerged quietly from the darkness, like ghosts, silently in the courtyard.
Lan Xiyue's eyes gleamed like torches as she stood in the center of the courtyard, radiating an aura that could not be underestimated. With a sudden movement, her figure transformed into a shadow, striking directly at the nearest individual. The individual, clearly unprepared for Lan Xiyue's decisive attack, swayed in shock, but quickly regained his composure and counterattacked.
The battle was about to break out. Lan Xiyue's movements were strange and changeable. Every step seemed to be stepping on nothingness, making it difficult to predict.
The man was able to cope at first, but as Lan Xiyue's attack became more and more fierce, he gradually felt powerless and was filled with inexplicable fear.
An Yi folded his hands across his chest, his eyes deep, and from time to time he exchanged glances with An Er beside him.
"An Er, look at our new master. His internal strength is so strong now that it's probably incomparable to the past. I guess that person will be defeated without a move." An Yi's voice was low and confident, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Upon hearing this, An Er was stunned for a moment, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes: "Wang... Master has internal strength?"
An Yi then whispered a detailed account of what had happened. Finally, he said with a smile, "With our master's current strength, I'm afraid we're no match for her. Look at her strange movements. If I were to face her, I'd probably only be able to withstand about twenty of her moves."
Before he finished speaking, the situation on the field was already decided. Lan Xiyue had pressed a silver needle against the man's neck, leaving him unable to move. He could only sullenly admit defeat: "I lose."
The shadows around looked at each other, discussing: "Who is this?"
"Yes, his movements are so strange and his speed is so amazing."
Seeing this, Yun Dian spoke at the right time to clear up everyone's doubts: "This is our master, the one we must be loyal to."
Lan Xiyue looked around, her eyes like torches, and her voice was cold: "If you don't accept it, feel free to challenge me."
Before he finished speaking, another man stepped forward and saluted: "Zhang Wu, please teach me!" After that, he drew his sword from its sheath, and the sword light was like lightning, going straight for Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue simply beckoned with her finger, and Zhang Wu rushed forward as if summoned. However, after a few rounds, Zhang Wu was defeated and said with full conviction: "I am convinced."
