"Do you have any other matters? If not, I will take my leave!" Jiang Yi said.
"Go ahead! You don't need to stand guard tonight. This is Jiang Tian's territory, and I won't be in any danger!" Meina Sha looked at Jiang Yi.
"Yes!" Jiang Yi replied and left Meina Sha's room.
The next morning, Jiang Tian invited Meina Sha to the main hall and prepared a sumptuous banquet.
Outside the hall, a group of assassins stood in two neat rows, fully prepared, the atmosphere tense.
"Special Envoy, this is the red wine I specially prepared for you. Please try it!" Jiang Tian opened the wine bottle and personally poured a glass of red wine for Meina Sha.
Meina Sha took a sip and praised, "This red wine tastes good. It's almost comparable to the royal vintage red wine."
"You flatter me, Special Envoy. How can this wine compare to royal vintage red wine!" Jiang Tian said hurriedly.
"Alright, if you have something to say, just say it! I don't like beating around the bush!" Meina Sha said, displeased.
"Special Envoy, there is something I cannot handle, and I must ask the Special Envoy to handle it personally!" Jiang Tian said.
"What is it that you cannot handle and must ask me to handle? Is it Prince Matthew's matter?" Meina Sha asked.
"Special Envoy, this matter has nothing to do with Prince Matthew. It is about a spy!"
"I sent people to assassinate Prince Matthew twice before, but Lord Barré got the news in advance. I suspect there is a spy in the castle."
"So I thoroughly searched the castle, and with perseverance, I finally found the spy! However, this spy has a special identity, and I am not qualified to deal with him, so I can only ask you, the Special Envoy!" Jiang Tian said, looking at Jiang Yi.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi immediately understood that Jiang Tian must have found some evidence. This banquet, which appeared to be for Meina Sha, was actually a Hongmen Banquet prepared for him.
"Who is the spy?" Meina Sha asked angrily.
"It's your personal bodyguard!" Jiang Tian said.
Upon hearing this, Meina Sha's gaze fell directly on Jiang Yi, her expression complicated.
"Young Master Jiang, you cannot speak carelessly about such matters. He is someone I selected from the Royal Guard. If he is a spy, what about the royal family's honor!" Meina Sha said.
"Special Envoy, I have evidence to prove it. Yesterday, I had someone decipher the content of the text messages on the communicator and found that your bodyguard sent text messages before both of my assassination missions. The content of the messages was to warn the other party about assassins."
"Moreover, I began to suspect him yesterday. I originally planned to tell you about the spy, but he stopped me. It is clear that he has something to hide, otherwise he would not have stopped me!" Jiang Tian said hurriedly.
Meina Sha frowned and remained silent.
"I know you will argue, but it's useless. I have evidence in my hands, and this evidence is enough to prove that you are the spy!" Jiang Tian stared at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi's gaze began to sharpen. It seemed he could no longer hide it, but he would not wait to die in vain. Although Jiang Tian's castle had many assassins, they could not stop Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi could easily leave the castle. Moreover, Jiang Tian and Meina Sha were very close to Jiang Yi. At this distance, Jiang Yi could easily take one of them hostage. Jiang Yi dared to enter Jiang Tian's castle, so he naturally had a way to leave.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Tian asked Jiang Yi.
"You disrupted my assassination of Prince Matthew twice. Perhaps you are a spy sent by Prince Matthew. I will not act against you, but the Special Envoy certainly will not let you off! Your time is up!" Jiang Yi ignored Jiang Tian.
At this moment, Jiang Yi's gaze had already fallen on the fruit knife on the table, ready to act.
"Guards, take him down!" Jiang Tian shouted to the assassins at the door.
Upon receiving the order, the assassins rushed in from outside the hall and surrounded Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was also preparing to make his move.
"Wait!" Meina Sha suddenly called out.
Hearing this, the assassins stopped.
"He is not the spy!" Meina Sha said.
This statement stunned Jiang Tian. The evidence was conclusive, yet Meina Sha suddenly stood up and said Jiang Yi was not a spy.
"I had him send the message!"
"We received news from the royal family asking if I needed reinforcements, so I had him send a message to the royal family stating that your Jiang family has assassins and does not need them to send people. I did this to give you an opportunity to contribute!" Meina Sha said.
Hearing this, Jiang Tian believed her! Jiang Tian thought that Meina Sha was a Special Envoy sent by the royal family. If Jiang Yi were truly a spy, Meina Sha would certainly not speak up for him. This matter was likely a misunderstanding!
Jiang Yi was a little stunned! Jiang Yi had not expected Meina Sha to stand up and prove his innocence. Meina Sha knew nothing about him sending messages, and the messages were sent to Lord Barré, not the imperial family in the capital. Jiang Yi guessed that Meina Sha must have a reason for helping him. There were too many people here, so Jiang Yi could not ask openly. He could only ask Meina Sha why she did it when no one was around!
"Brother, I'm truly sorry. I misunderstood you. I hope you don't take it to heart!"
"How about this, I'll punish myself with a drink, as an apology!" Jiang Tian said with sincere apology.
Jiang Yi ignored Jiang Tian, pretending to be very unhappy. Jiang Tian had not yet discovered Jiang Yi's true identity, and Jiang Yi intended to continue the act.
After the banquet, Jiang Yi followed Meina Sha to the backyard. Once in the room in the courtyard, seeing that no one else was present, Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask Meina Sha, "Why did you help me?"
"Because you cannot die yet!" Meina Sha looked at Jiang Yi with great interest.
"From the moment you entered Jiang Tian's castle with me, I realized that you are not the bodyguard I brought. That bodyguard came with me from the capital to Ximeng Prefecture. I am too familiar with him, and you cannot deceive me!" These words stunned Jiang Yi. He had not expected that he had been exposed long ago!
"Not only do I know you are not my bodyguard, but I also know that you are Mr. Jiang Yi!" Meina Sha revealed a playful smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's brows furrowed. This woman was not simple; she had even guessed his identity. It seemed he had been playing the fool for a day!
"Since you've guessed it, I won't pretend anymore. I am Jiang Yi!" Jiang Yi sat down directly in the chair opposite Meina Sha and looked at her, saying, "I'm very curious, how did you recognize me? My appearance and voice have changed. Logically, you shouldn't have been able to recognize me!"
